Could’ve sworn they used to originally for the Eclipse buffs no?
But nice.
But yeah, this is one of the reasons why many thought Elune/An’she were first ones and the First Ones were a sort of “First Family”, Mom/Dad/Kids, to give them a “proper” tier of cosmic power/origin and also give us an “in” to caring about the First Ones on a personal narrative level.
If the General Discussion forums represent their main audience, then yes. Try bringing up your racial concerns on GD, and you’ll see even the most left-leaning people dismiss you out of hand.
There at one point was a removed Warrior ability tied to Zorvaal. Where the warrior used it to become an Eternal (an empowered giant.) It was added in Legion beta and removed. It never made it to live, it suggested Zorvaal was/is an Eternal One.
Finding evidence of this though is hard. All proof of this was removed and sticken form all official wow sources.
Might be just me, but I feel blizzard does all the mythologies wrong, even the euro-centric ones. Most of the time it feels like they just picked and chose what they thought was cool and forgot about the other half of these stories
Furthermore Sauron is all about stripping everyone of Free Will just like Zovaal while Morgoth is all about Wiping out all of Existence(very similar to Amon from StarCraft 2).
Zovaal is basically Sauron from the LotR Movies(as the Books only mention his servants and not him) and not from the Silmarillion or the Hobbit Movies.
The Maw(along with Ny’alotha and Legion ruled territories) is Mordor, Revendreth is Isengard, Icecrown is Angmar, Ardenweald is Lothlorien, Val’Sharah is the Old Forest, Blackrock Depths is the Halls of Moria, Lordaeron & Teldrassil is Osgiliath, Twilight Highlands is the Shire, Stormwind is Bree, Stormheim is Rohan and Korthia & Oribos is Dol Guldur…
We have yet to have a Rivendell, Fangorn, Minas Tirith or Minas Morgul. Until we visit the Depths of Ironforge and Grim Batol we also have yet to have an Erebor.
Honestly that post was mostly just a joke that popped up for me in the same vein Robin williams used to joke that protestantism was like catholic Light.
I wouldn’t say it is wrong. I mean Mu’sha could just be Elune in Taurnae. There have been civilizations that “share” the same Gods but have different names from them. Romans and Greeks for example. Or the two Egyptian Kingdoms before they unified.
Thats it. Thats how we put Anshe into the game. He can have his sudden reveal tied into the Blood elves and Tauren getting visions from a sun wreathed figure and they follow those dreams to somewhere and boom. Theres ya boy.
