The Lore of the Titans

He’s obviously not, which is stated there, but reading skills are too ‘OP’ nowadays.

True. There is one connection, though: DH is represented by the colour green, and Argus is the ‘Emerald Star’ here. :grinning:

But there’s one more thing: Argus as the planet has more or less been the main objective of DHs. Oh, and the Fel theme, of course.

The point is, both classes can’t have him.

Ditto (in the post linked above).

Well, technically speaking, even the Eternal ones are just bots, as far as I recall…

As for V-07-TR-0N, it might be a cool reference to Mimiron’s Head from GvG.

Good point, by the way.

Lemme return to this point.

As far as I understand, all Titans were originally from the domain of Order, rather than Death. Sure, there was the Sargeras incident, but as for Argus — I’m not all that well versed in lore, wasn’t it part of Zovaal’s shenanigans anyway? In that case, they might as well have chosen someone from the realms of Death, i.e. an Eternal One…

I do understand why Primus, though, since this whole Maldraxxus thing looks like yet another rendition of the whole Scourge thing, almost a reuse, so this one is fitting thematically.

PS Come to think of it, Argus doesn’t even belong in the Shadowlands (his soul hitting the Arbiter and so on is the Jailer’s scheme — Argus is no mortal, after all, and has no place in that mechanism), and as for ruling Undead — that’s what they do in Maldraxxus.

UPD Here’s the lore, and it explains it all, more or less:
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Argus_(titan).

PPS Amitus almost looks like Cariel Roame ascended. :grinning: Not that I don’t like Cariel, but dunno if such a decision resembles a cheap ‘expy’…

And the namce choice is stupid, see above.

Alright, looks like the voting began somewhere around 19:00 CEST, which is often the case for this game.

I don’t really like Shadowlands or anything, but it makes more sense to borrow a titan from there for the Death Knight class.

I made my choice but why wasn’t my package given in the game?

Maybe they’ll give away packs later, for example, once votes are tallied?

My previous post above might have turned out a bit haphazard, so let me summarise some points…

About Argus and his relation to DHs… Two classes — Warlock and DH — deal with Fel, Demons, the Legion and such in one way or another, and there are two titans most directly related to it — Sargeras, the mastermind, and Argus, who is more of a victim, scarred by Fel corruption. So each of these classes must have chosen a respective Titan out of these two, essentially, and that’s it. I suppose the ‘Emerald Star’ makes more sense for DHs, while warlocks such as Gul’dan just want to see all worlds burn, just like Sargeras.

That robot V-07-TR-0N instead of Mimiron — looks like a reference to Mimiron’s Head from GvG, but, on the other hand, even the Eternal Ones have turned out to be essentially robots, so the Titans might be, too.

The Primus is not a Titan, which is stated explicitly, but his domain mostly overlaps with DK stuff, so this choice makes sense to me.

Amitus looks like an ascended version of Cariel Roame, whom I like, including her voice acting, — but dunno whether it’s so cool for this character. Besides, the name is stupid: it’s borrowed from a Latin masculine noun (you could also just tell by the ending), while she’s clearly a girl. You wouldn’t, for example, name your daughter — or yourself as a woman — Billy, would you?

En este mismo post te mencionan que el Primus no es propiamente un titan, así como tampoco lo es VOLTRON, son excepciones que se permiten para que calcen con todas las clases. Como tal el Primus es un Eterno, del panteon de la muerte y no del orden.

When will we get the decks? I voted, but did not recieve one.

29

i received my pack 20 seconds ago , and now 2nd turn is active.

At first i tought i missed 1st vote becouse i voted yesterday 11 July EU time , but after i realized timezone matters .
So you always have to consider Pacific Daylight Time or Pacific Time , Day.

30

On the EU servers, 19:00 CEST is usually when major stuff happens.

31

Let’s start last turn to vote, have 2 titan only.
Let’s get together to decide which one we choose and we all vote for that chosen one. Which do you want to vote for?
Priest or warlock?

32

I voted for Sargeras as most people have said that’s what they would do and that’s been working out for us so far!
