Well to be fair nobody knew the souls were going to the maw.
Until we broke into the shadowlands nobody there thought the maw could be a threat.
What I kinda dislike is that Tyrande didn’t give a fk that Elune decided to let the nelves die just for her sister.
Well obviously they would not be reborn immediately, but rather over time and after Ardenweild had been healed. The anima of other mortals sent to Ardenweild after them could be used to help them be reborn.
It’s not an impossible task so long as you are willing to think it through on the time scale of immortals.
Is it though? Assuming she has a specific domain of powers, messing around with life/death is something that would directly be in her wheelhouse as a life goddess, whereas fire or the suppression of fire isn’t really related to life or the moon.
I mean have any of the Eternal Ones been able to affect Azeroth?
If not, why do you think Elune would be able to?
Yep, be reborn when their families are all dead and moved on several generations. And they already made a place in Ardenweald…
really?
Well ignore that damn ocean of water all around them
It does tho? They were sent for different purposes, but the idea being that both groups were personally sent there by Elune rather than going through the “System”
What stops them from being reborn too, if their families are already dead? If all Night Elves go to Ardenweild anyways then they can just gather up entire families and have them all reborn at once, somewhere out in the cosmos, away from angry Orcs and undead legions.
Yes.
We literally have Dreadlords (Denathrius), the Lich King + Scourge + Forsaken (Zovaal + Primus), and the Drust (Ardenweald). Not counting Valkyr cuz that’s Odyn plagiarizing.
Well, moonfire exists.
You and I have had our disagreements, Treng, but I often back you when you would bring up these points. I am glad to see Blizzard hard confirm what you have been saying - dispelling all doubt.
People often complain Blizzard leaves things too vague and up in the air. It is nice to have something definitive.
It is nice to have closure.
I have a feeling moonfiring the conflagration would have not helped…
Giving it some thought, and this isn’t actually as bad as my initial reaction… to a point. It’s more what came before that’s messing with it being cohesive, as opposed to what we’re getting now.
I’d be more on board with a “vengeance vs renewal” narrative if WoW ever showed anything being renewed ever
After this WoW is going to have a hard time competing with Critically acclaimed MMORPG FINAL FANTASY XIV, which has a free trial up to level 60, including the entire award-winning first expansion HEAVENSWARD.
Also, does this cinematic confirm that most of the night elf souls are still in the Maw?
I’m just pointing out that the moon has a relation to fire. Though Elune blasting Teldrassil with moonfire would’ve been better than Sylvanas burning the place. Imagine if in the Sylvanas warbringers cinematic that right after Delaryn says she can’t kill hope, there’s suddenly a massive blast of moonfire then Sylvanas sees the tree on fire.
Like at least a good 80% of all story forum lore grievances are still present in FFXIV and in some cases are worse
Not necessarily. Just the hoops which entities like the Void Lords, Zovaal and even the Legion jump through simply trying to get into our plane of reality in a meaningful way makes it increasingly apparent that these cosmic beings who can literally shape reality and build entire realms from nothing in their own plane aren’t free to do whatever they want, whenever they want once they’re subject to the existential laws and limitations of how things operate within the Great Dark.
how about this, we keep the lore as it is now, but right as Sylvanas is about to be redeemed (which I keep being told is a fait accompli), then Elune Ion cannons her to final death with the mother of all moonfires.
