One is not like the other

But I doubt he sees the irony in both his statements

Erevien-aegwynn · January 22, 2024, 12:12am

This is a self own for you.

Karestae-moon-guard · January 22, 2024, 12:13am

I seriously doubt you know what the meaning of a self own is, because it’s not whatever you think it is

Erevien-aegwynn · January 22, 2024, 12:14am

I will buy the book for shadowlands lore only. Darkspear will never have my respect.

Alynsa-wyrmrest-accord · January 22, 2024, 12:30am

You really don’t have any self-awareness or any idea how words work, huh?

Madhronir-wyrmrest-accord · January 25, 2024, 11:51am

I would be willing to give them more credit if they were honest.

“Yeah, we kinda wanted to change some aspects we defined in Chronicles for Shadowlands, sorry guys, but I think those changes will provide more opportunities for stories in the future” would be better than “chronicles was from the titans POV”

Dinral-wyrmrest-accord · January 25, 2024, 1:19pm

I’d still disagree with the decision but yeah that’d feel less gaslighty.

This is the key that so many have amnesia about. Retcons have always existed, books always go out of date, and Chronicle is in no way any different than any other lore. The Titan PoV business is just a little bit of creative flair, but it doesn’t substantially change anything.

And let’s be real: they may say Titan PoV, but Blizzard’s intention is 1000% that it’s meant to be taken as literal canon until it contradicts new lore. People take that comment too seriously. Pretend it never happened, and Chronicle is no different than any other lore subject to change.

Hey do you guys think we’ll get more information on the Lightbound - Mag’har war or just a summarization on what we know?

Zitga-wyrmrest-accord · January 28, 2024, 4:57am

I didn’t even think about this. I was thinking about potential new lore for Nightborne, Highmountain Tauren and so on- Mag’har somehow slipped my mind lol.

Since the series is sort of an outside view looking down i could 100% see some more information in that regard. I would also love to hear more about the surviving clans- do they have chieftains still? We see Kaz the Shrieker from the Laughing Skull.

This stuff is oerhaps why i am so excited about the Chronicles 4. I have been wanting more faction/racial lore and spotlight for a while and this one should be FILLED with it, especially for the races that joined the factiona during these expansions.

Zerde-sargeras · January 28, 2024, 3:40pm

More info, unlikely, a summarization of the questline to recruit the mag’har? Definately. I assume all the the allied races will get such a blurb. There is little to any chance we will learn what triggers the Lightbound to do what they did until we actually get an expansion about them.

Gornur-nerzhul · January 28, 2024, 5:43pm

So Malkorok and his Blackrock forces bending the knee to Garrosh should be covered in the book and it got me wondering if that segment would touch on the current status of the Dark Horde. We know they’ve been defeated, but the likes of the Scarlet Crusade have been defeated too and it didn’t stop them from coming back.

I’m just rather curious if there are remnants who were able to keep the Dark Horde going or if the entire just collapsed.

I’m also curious if the Forest Troll tribes within the Dark Horde (the Smolderthorn and Firetress) are still in the area or have left for greener pastures.

Luumuu-wyrmrest-accord · January 29, 2024, 3:44am

There was basically a whole HIstory of Blizzard having to do the Corporate dance of “No, we didn’t mess up, we MEANT to slam the door on our toes, it was all part of our multistage plan, you’ll see!” because old School Corporate PR is “never be seen as vulnerable” and it absolutely falls flat on it’s face in the wake of the more modern sensibilities of sincerity. It only made them look that much dumber

Denona-khazgoroth · January 29, 2024, 3:47am

I would reckon what remained of the Dark Horde sided with the Iron Horde (aka Zaela’s group in Blackrock Mountain). Either by force or otherwise. Considering Zaela took control over the upper reaches of Blackrock Spire.

Although that does the question, what happened to the lower reaches of Blackrock Spire? The dungeon is still the vanilla version so /shrug. From memory you can still see those mobs in the WoD version of UBRS but that could be Blizzard simply using the lower section as a backdrop and couldn’t be bothered removing them. Since you cannot access those areas in the revamped UBRS. Much like how you can still see some of the mobs from TBC Kara in the Legion version during the upside down areas.

Erevien-aegwynn · January 29, 2024, 11:22pm

I am eager to know canon raid kills and also of course Shadowladns lore.
