Ok, so we’re just gonna fill the screen here for a second so we don’t spoil stuff for folks who haven’t been in the data mines, digging for content.
Hell of a glow-up, wouldn’t you say?
Now, assuming we’ve filled enough space, something that occurred to me, and could spell disaster for the Dragon Flights of Azeroth, is that Amirdrassil is supposedly going to ‘bless’ Alexstraza, Ebyssian, Kalecgos, Nozdormu, Vyranoth and Merithra as its Aspects.
Not Titan Aspects, but Aspects of Azeroth as viewed through the lens of this new World Tree that has its roots in Life and Death.
And the Dragon Isles is basically one gigantic Titan Facility intended to reshape and re-inforce the Titanic control of Dragons and Proto-Drakes to the Ordering of Azeroth. We’re about to bring back Tyr, who actively experimented on Drakes to infuse them with Elemental power and may or may not be responsible for corrupting so many Proto-Drake Eggs into Dragons against the will of their parents and inhabitants, if not accidentally created Galakrond in the first place.
If he was doing this to try and weaponize them against Odyn, or to give them a fighting chance of survival in-case the Prime Designate decided to get his Titanium Tighty Whities in a bunch again over everything now bowing down and presenting at his slightest whim, or more concerningly, he might have been a quiet and subtle supporter of the rebels in Khaz’algarn, and when we consider that Tyr openly uses the Light, while the only other Titan Watcher/Keeper we encounter, in the Uldum Dungeon, is noted to have been specifically augmented to be able to draw upon that Primal Force.
Temple Keeper Anhuur actively uses the Light, and the damage from his attacks is registered as Light-based damage.
Yet Tyr wields the Light with ease, is a Keeper, the highest tier of Titan Servant under the Titans themselves, and does so even when separated from the facilities that presumably would have made him even more powerful. Light might be a force of Order, but the Titan Watchers and Keepers were quite clearly told to only talk about the Order of the Titans, of the Arcane, and to dismiss and diminish the works of the other Primal Powers, especially the Void, which is intrinsically linked to the Light.
Did Tyr always have access to the Light, or did he, like Eonar and her Keeper Freya, actively practice magic outside of the rigidly-defined boundaries that Aman’thul set in place for his ‘Perfect Ordering’ of the Universe? Is that why he and Odyn had such dire opinions of each other, because while they both pursued Order, Tyr was willing to work with other forces and was benevolent in his desire to bring order and justice to the world, while Odyn was a tyrannical leader whose grip on power was only surpassed by his paranoia and megalomania?
What happens to the thousands of Titan Servants on the Isles when the Dragons stop being members of the Titanic forces here on Azeroth? All those Dragon Eggs at the Ruby Life Pools, all those Titanic constructs attacking anything that isn’t a construct or bearing Titanic protections to render them passive, all this Order magic seeping into the ground and the water and the animals.
What happens when the Dragons choose their own fate, and their once-loyal friends follow their programming and lay into the Dragons as heretics and ‘intruders’ in a Titan facility?
Or will Amirdrassil rewrite them as well? Supposedly this World Tree will do great and terrible things to Azeroth, what happens when the surviving Titan Watchers and Keepers feel this sudden change to their charge? Ulduar will probably see this as a good thing, albeit they’ll be a little unsettled that they weren’t included, while Uldum won’t care so long as there’s no Old God influence involved. But what of the Titan Watchers and Keepers who value Order and authority above all else? Who see the Titans as literal Gods to be worshipped, or masters who must be served at all costs?
What will Odyn do when he’s still faffing about trying to get everyone to vote him to be Prime Designate again, only to feel that wretched ingrate Tyr pop back into being, or worse yet, feel the mingling chaotic and orderly energies of Life and Death from Amirdrassil ‘corrupting’ his world, and learning its those filthy Organics he despises so much doing this, especially his own Battlelords?
There’s gonna be a fight and I’m not sure we’re ready for a war against the Titan Servants of Azeroth, not when they can churn out soldiers in the thousands from their processing facilities and aren’t being mind-****ed into stupidity by an Old God to keep them out of the way.
