Blizzard art team: Maybe if we put some random but also very specific symbols on this book, the wow players will make up all kinds of speculation on what it means, and that should buy us time until the next expansion.
The star/sun thingy looks like the Maldraxxus sigil and I’m wondering now if it’s just a coincidence.
The raven and the serpent make me think of Odyn. Most of the symbols are relevant to Legion content though, which is fitting due to the mount being a mage tower reward.
Observation.
The Phases of the Moon appears to be shown in relation with the Moon and Sun icons.
There are three rune groupings above the Moon phases
But what’s more interesting is what seams to be a smaller moon besides the larger, which the smaller has what appears to a person-like shape
If it’s foreshadowing anything, it’s the flood of salt from players complaining that they do not have the time to level and gear enough Alts to do the achievement that earns this Mount.
that Illuminati eye the middle is in the same color as the Darkmoon Faire and does like of look similar to the Darkmoon Flag. I think it may be hinting at the Old Gods as we know they are the beings speculatively behind the Faire itself.
Maybe. Silas Darkmoon seems to be a somewhat “dark” character, not exactly evil but still seeped in darkness. I don’t doubt that there is a connection but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that the Old Gods themselves are behind it.
I wouldn’t put it past them to have the Darkmoon Faire taking center stage in the Void Vs Light story, showing that Light isn’t all good and the Void isn’t all evil.
These are all just generic fictional esoteric symbols. I know that because of the green fish, I feel like it’s supposed to be a nod to the esoteric green lion. There’s a tirforce (lol) the moon phases are not even in order. 100% gibberish.
This makes me more mad than anything because through out this whole game the Kirin Tor have been hinted at having this secret knowledge. There’s lost books only referenced by fellow mages, which is supposed to be too smart for us… and then they release stuff like this which is actually just esoteric gibberish, it makes me wonder if they actually have any knowledge at all about secret esoteric teachings… probably not and that makes me so dissapointed in the game.
I will probably still farm this mount because my mage would look cool riding it but I’m not holding my breath anymore that there’s any deeper meaning to things.
