Apparently they retcon Shadowlands lore

Zovaal warned us that we are not prepared for what is to come…

Very ominous.

But apparently that was retconned into Zovaal doesn’t even know what is to come to begin with.

So he was warning us about something he doesn’t know. Very open ended, it allows the developers to basically say anything at this point of “what is to come”, if anything or nothing is coming.

And also the first ones were retconned into “myth”. Meaning they might exist, or they might not exist. So, this basically means the developers can say at a later time they did not exist, or they were the Titans all along.

Now they just need to retcon the Winter Queen is Elune’s sister because the Winter Queen is actually a robot, like all of the Shadowlands gods, so that would mean Elune is also a robot unless it is retconned.

Do you have sources for either of these claims?

You really should include links to sources in a post like this.

edit: jinx?

Also I really wish people would stop parroting the stupid robot bit.

Questing in Zereth Mortis made it clear that the Eternals were powerful souls inhabiting anima-created bodies, a theme that was set up by the Maldraxxi and their constant body swapping and augmentation.

The Shadowlands gods were once alive, and so is Elune now.

I think you’re thinking too literally:
Sis·ter

/ˈsistər/

noun

  • 1.a woman or girl in relation to other daughters and sons of her parents:"I had nine brothers and sisters"Similarfemale siblinginformal:sisrhyming slang:skin and blister
  • :black_small_square:a sister-in-law.
  • 2.a close female friend or associate, especially a female fellow member of a labor union or other organization:"textile unions are showing solidarity with their brothers and sisters in the developing world"Similarcomradefriendpartnerassociate
  • :black_small_square:a fellow woman seen in relation to feminist issues:“uncloseted lesbian sisters”
  • :black_small_square:a black woman (chiefly used as a term of address by other black people):informal North American"“Come on, sister, why not come clean and tell us?”"
  • 3.a member of a religious order or congregation of women:"the sisters announced that there would be a special rosary every morning"Similarnunnoviceabbessprioress
  • 4.a senior female nurse, typically in charge of a ward:British"the ward sister needs to be consulted"
  • 5.denoting an organization or place that bears a relationship to another of common origin or allegiance or mutual association:“a sister ship”

Given how the Titans and literally every other pantheon refers to each other as “brother” or “sister” it’s likely that #5 is the actual definition being used, as in they are related by being created in the same order of creation, they are all pantheons/gods.

Heck in the same vein it could be #2.

Given Elune shagged a stag Wild god and produced a Cenarius, who’s to say it isn’t a relative by marriage case either?

The first ones were not retconned lol we are literally interacting with the brokers… the same brokers from zereth mortis

The pantheon of death, the arbiter are in charge of the machine of death since we left and continue their work.

I dont understand this thread

This was the subject of a Bellular video from a day or so ago. OP probably watched it, most likely. I didn’t watch the video, but I saw the thumbnail of a derpy looking Jailer. It is called “Shadowlands Killed Warcraft, So Blizzard Just Retconned It.”

What did people do before streamers? Did they think for themselves?

zovaal saw dimensius from one of those who got killed by him and went crazy as did sargeras when he learnt about the voidlords.

Yeah, I watched the video so I thought I spread the word.

And this folks…is why you should use your OWN thinking, not follow whatever anyone says on the internet. Unless your own thinking is just as feeble, then you should refer to MY thinking.

I believe it is in the new Chronicles book that just came out.

People are just watching videos that cherry pick info and not actually reading the book because reading is hard.

I figured. Bellular is tantamount to the tabloids of WoW. When things are good he’s all like “We’re so back!” and when things are down he’s all like “It’s Over.”

The entire game is fiction and the developers are responsible for inventing and telling the story. So this is not something unique to Shadowlands.

The first ones were not retconned. For that to happen they would have had to be mentioned earlier and something about them would have been changed.

The First Ones were never mentioned before Shadowlands so no retcon is possible.

Blizzard retconning their stories!? no way I never thought they would do such a thing :dracthyr_yay_animated:

Stop spreading Bellular BS and pyromancer pointed out his lies. Shadowlands is not going anywhere.

How about instead of saying ’ think for yourself and don’t listen to Bellular’ you all think for yourself and actually dispute the claim? Because you can’t think for yourselves either.

My dude, I actually did. You’re supposed to think with your brain, not your mouth and emotions.

There is a Volume 5 now? Will have to look for this.

I dunno that it actually made it clear. I don’t remember at all but I, like most people, had checked out of the story by that point so I really don’t remember much of anything about Zereth Mortis questing.

The First Ones lore is dumb and the Gods of Death having 3D printed bodies isn’t really any better than them being 3D printed robots.
