New lore on Azerothians in Revendreth *spoilers*

Yo.

Been spending my time on beta getting info for wowpedia. Finished all the Revendreth zone pages this week! Yay me!

But I also found readable sinstones throughout the zone. At first I thought they were like, to honor dead Blizzard employees, but then I found more and realized I was terribly wrong.

S/o to Laytis from the wowpedia discord for helping me with half of these.

Check out the “readable sinstones” section!

Sinstones of note:

  • The sinstone of Irmaat, the tol’vir who made the artifact weapon
  • The sinstone of Lord Valthalak, the black dakonid warlock
  • The sinstone of Houndmaster Loksey (we punish him in a quest too), the Scarlet Crusader
  • The sinstone of Sharth Voldoun, the Blood Knight in Outlands
  • The sinstone of Shan Bu, the mogu from MoP

Key takeaways:

  • Prophet Kheva’s sinstone states that she was damned for listening to an Unseen Guest that led to the Legion destroying her world (read: Dreadlord), I BELIEVE THAT THIS MEANS that Dreadlords are NOT part of Revendreth and do not come from Venthyr
  • It is now canon that Sharth Voldoun invented Mana Bombs
  • Also Sharth Voldoun would’ve been damned for inventing Mana Bombs (lol @ Atomic Bomb inventors) BUT since he tortured the “vile Naaru”, that earned him a chance at redemption
  • The Janus sinstone gives possible Dragon Isles foreshadowing
  • We are not the first mortals to pierce the veil, as per the sinstone of Navi DeRolan
  • Also as per Navi’s sinstone, the Venthyr hate the Void
  • As per Lord Vathalak’s sinstone, necromancers/warlocks are considered especially useful in the Shadowlands since nobody needs to teach us necromancy

Honorable mention to Devin, who “meant well, but there were consequences”.

There are plenty of characters in Revendreth who are deemed redeemable despite committing genocide.

Sounds like Sharth got an athletic recruitment to a university he didn’t actually deserve to go to. Like Revendreth’s interest in necromancy and its distaste for the void, it was likely Sharth’s knowledge of manipulating Naaru energies that interested Revendreth over any actual redemption of the Blood Elf.

Or the Broken Isles, given that’s where Neltharion’s Lair is.

The sin here doesn’t seem to be the inventing the atomic bomb but rather the Werner von Braun Problem

More interesting is he was redeemed because he hurt naaru lmao

Nah they hate the Light cuz of what it did to Revendreth

The “no mortals” line imo makes it seem Dragon Isles.

Could also mean Drogbar don’t die of old age, if we want to throw out wild speculation.

RE Valthalak: drakonids aren’t actual dragons, so it stands to reason that they wouldn’t go to the “dragon afterlife”, if one even exists.

Will you do the Ardenweald zones?

So after Shadowlands, we are either going to get a Light themed expac or a Dragon Isles one.

Woudl add cata 2.0 in there.

I still think the whole preparations are leading to a new old world revamp:

  1. Accumulation of new assets for the races architectures. We now have human, orcs, forsaken, NEs with the 2 Warfronts + warsong gulch as assets. Then we have everything from BFA like gnome an goblins, troll and more human architecture.

  2. level and stat squish make old zones awkwards and the scaling system and the “chose your expansion” thing makes sure old content will still be accessable

3.Teldrassil and Lordaeron might have happened with a new revamp on the horizon anyway.

  1. rumors of a timeskip of a few years after SLs

I find it to be as likely.

This is kind of interesting. Which Naaru are they referring to?

M’uru. The one that the blood elves sucked dry until Kael’thas hooned back to Silvermoon and brought it to Sunwell Plateau, where you vs it as a boss.

I want to know if this means M’uru was actually bad or that Revendreth is just bigoted against the light. xD

Since the Venthyr also hate the void the just makes me think the void and the naaru are both legitimately bad.

Nah, the Venthyr have their own set of, well, ‘standards’ for what is good or bad. They dislike strongly the light and the void. They are biased AF.

It seems that any soul that would go to the maw is sent to the Venthyr first to see if they have any traits that can redeem them/they’re willing to reform. The venthyr saw that he tortured the hell out of a naaru - whom they dislike - then they decided yeah, he can’t be too bad a guy, let’s give him a good ol’ shot.

It seems to be that the Light is somehow universilly dispised in SLs. Even the Maldraxians hate it it seems?

That leaves a question to me: What about Elune.
She is somehow connected to th eLight through the Naaru, but appearently Elune stands against the Jailers plans as Sylvanas has stated.

Also Elune is connected to Ardenweald somehow but the covenants seem to not like the Light .
Very condusing stuff.

Hopefully someone else feels inspired to do so but yes if no one does lmao this took me a month and a half

Plus I wanted to do the screenshots with the game zone as it should appear at the end of the content and with all the Anima conductors unlocked. They change what some areas look like.

Kyrians have contempt for Void and Light, Maldraxxus has won wars against the Void and Light, so I think it’s simply the forces of Death hate the Void and Light because they steal souls for themselves.

Elune is moonlight, a dilution/reflection/refraction of Light, probably.

Maybe a concept, but Elune is thought to be above the light. And she is connected to some darker things. Naaru for example have the dark phase, but Elune appearntly aswell.
As there are sacrificial rituals in her name and she is capable of basically be a force of pure destruction.

She’s thought to be above the Naaru, but the Naaru are probably going to end up being the Raden/Odyn/Wild Gods of the Light.

Ie they’re not that high up

Would wager when Blizzard gets around to solidifying the Solar First One, Elune/Musha and An’she/Belore will have together forged the Naaru

If you look at the map of Azeroth in the back of Chronicles, and if you look at the Primal Forces page, there’s recurring motifs in each corner.

This is 100% speculation but I think the First Ones are those things. Elune is the bottom left and An’she is the top right.

Elune is centered on Order (Moon, Balance), but can extend to Shadow and Death down one side (Night Warrior) and Life and Light down the other (Mother Moon)

An’she is centered thus on Chaos (Sun, Extremes) but can extend to Light and Life on one side (Rukhmar) and Death and Shadow on the other (maybe the recurring theme of the Blood Moon with Hakkar/Bwon, as Lunar Eclipses depend on the sun)

As far as I know, Blizzard has confirmed Elune to be one of the First Ones.

But not 100% sure here.

Confirmed to be a True Goddess™ but they’ve given zero info on the First Ones (and none exists on beta save for a few lines of Brokers and Attendants)

I need to do more stuff on WoWpedia. I’ve only ever really corrected some considerably old stuff I’ve come across and some typos… I feel like a fraud when I want to actually add things though. I should attempt to get over myself.
