Remember the Priest Mount?
Yeah, I know. It’s weird.
I kinda expected it to be a native creature of Bastion though, being a mixture of owl and lion and being related to Priests, the Class with the ability to die and become Kyrian lol
The new Kyrian mount is essentially a robot version of that creature. Could it be that the Kyrian mount is that robot owl lion thing plus curse of flesh?
I think the 3 you get as a priest are the last of their kind
The game says they are the last three on Azeroth, but not necessarily in the universe, let alone in the greater cosmos beyond the universe, like the Shadowlands lol
“Once plentiful, only three seekers remain on Azeroth after generations of battling the corruption of the cosmos.”
There can definitely be more of those outside Azeroth.
I must say though that Blizzard should really stop doing that sort of stuff.
“There are only 3 Seekers in the world!”
You see four Priests running around in Azeroth with their Class Mounts? Immersion ruined lol
Yes, but have you ever seen more than 3 priests running around with them at the same time?
I did, actually. Back in Legion when they came out everybody was using their Class Mounts because they were new and shiny.
In the first few days it wasn’t uncommon to see more than four lol
An illusion! What were they hiding?! It must have been other mounts diaguised as the class mounts.
To be fair, you can say the same about any named mount. I did all that work to get Blanchy to like me, and then I look around Oribos and there’s six of her running around! Immersion requires some selective interpretation lol
Immersion isn’t a thing in WoW.
I thought they were more Ancient Ones than Shadowlands tbh.
Even the denizens of the Shadowlands haven’t seen anything from the Ancient Ones/First Ones and they’ve lived longer than Azeroth probably has.
I thought they Titan creations?
They were selected from herds by the Titans and employed by them, but not necessarily created by them. Who knows where they found those things? lol
Doubtful they came from the Shadowlands. As far as I’ve read, everything in the Shadowlands, except for the Eternal ones and souls, is created by the magic of that realm and bound to it.
I vote they’re from a different planet and we should go there for a new expansion!
I mean, Titan Keeper Odyn made legally distinct Kyrians by poking around in the Shadowlands, and the Dreadlords came from the Shadowlands as well, so the Shadowlands aren’t exactly watertight lol
I expected the same as the OP. Their aesthetic vibes very well with the Bastion wildlife and those Owl people slaves the Kyrians abuse.
First of all how dare you. The Owl Gryphon is the best mount in the game, and it’s honestly one of the few things that make me briefly consider rolling a priest before I remember Shadow Form exists.
Holy sweet joe joker! You seriously? Owl Lion Mount Things in Bastion?!?
Well maybe good for my paladin but I’m sending my Mage to Revendreth still because of those stone bat mount things.
Bwuh? Since when? I thought they came from their own planet?
Edit: yes, they do. Nathrezim are Dreadlords. Nathrezim came from their own planet.
OK, so there’s a place in Revendreth called Spire of the Unseen Guests.
Unseen Guests is how the Dreadlords call themselves.
In it there’s a book, written by Dreadlords (that was confirmed in a Blizzconline interview) to the guy that “sired” them, heavily implied to be Sire Denathrius.
To our most wondrous and resplendent Master,
I am pleased to state that, after a lengthy study of our rivals, I have completed my observations.
Please accept this briefing in advance of my complete report, which shall follow forthwith.
We anticipate that certain of our targets will be more challenging to topple than others. But each is prone to manipulation in different ways, and our agents have already woven themselves into their very fabric.
This is, after all, the solemn duty for which you sired us. As you are fond of saying: Once a desire is understood, it can be exploited.
Enough prologue. Allow me to summarize our findings.
In many ways, the titans will be the easiest to manipulate. Their singular goal is to impose structure upon everything they see.
Show them a force that opposes their drive for Order, and they will be consumed by their urge to eradicate it.
Their pantheon, so seemingly united in purpose, is vulnerable to fracturing.
The void lords all but welcome us with open arms. They are so preoccupied with their thousand truths that they ignore the lies we sow in their very midst.
I believe we can leverage their vast reach to position them as a foil against our other rivals.
We remain wary, though. Since they are observant of multiple outcomes, it is conceivable they could anticipate our coming.
Similar to the titans, the naaru and their keepers are singular in purpose. Their adherence to a linear path is an obvious shortcoming.
They savor nothing more than being proved right, so if they believe they have converted one of us to their precious Light, they will trust that agent implicitly.
The adherents to Life are the most insidious of opponents, perhaps because their nature is so antithetical to our own.
Still, we learned much from observing the link between their plane and Ardenweald, and we have high confidence that a vulnerability has been identified.
Our operative has already gained the trust of her target.
And as previously discussed, our position within the plane of Disorder is proceeding flawlessly. Consuming fel energy is not a pleasant process, but a necessary one.
The deception you have architected will bear fruit in the ages to come.
As ever, we shall serve as your unseen hand. We will poison every host foolish enough to invite us into their midst.
I remain, as always, your faithful servant.
Nathreza was a world where they lived in the Nether as they infiltrated the Legion, but they weren’t from there. They are from Revendreth.
Another interview on Blizzconline also confirmed that they are returning to the Shadowlands in 9.1. They are also very likely to be the people that got the Helm of Domination and Frostmourne in the hands of Kil’jaeden.
Kyrian mount bad
No… Nathreza was the planet that fell the same way Draenor did that they were originally from and then it ended up in the Nether.
So unless they’re reconning all Nathrezim backstory, that doesn’t make sense.
