There would still be a problem, that in the days of the horrible Black Empire Azeroth was uncorrupted and had tranquil dream. But after ordering there are sources that could be summarized with Aluneth’s “this world knows only pain”.
The weird thing there is we saw multiple times from other goblin perspectives during Before the Storm at the very least that Galliwix was seen as sort of a terrible person. It is just that goblin society mostly follows the golden rule:
If she is a member of the Life Pantheon, she ABSOLUTELY is the origin of the Emerald Dream.
Her domain is whatever primordial realm Freya tapped into AND Eonar designed Elunaria in reverence of. Truly, we have a Titan piggybacking on HER power. Even if she is technically of the same tier of being as a titan in this role, she’s not the same caliber of a Titan.
My suspicion is that Eonar was found by Elune when she was still wee babe World Soul, and nurtured/guided her, forming a long lasting bond between the two and shaping Eonar into the Titan of Life she is now.
I suspect Eonar was given the Tear by Elune, who in turn gave it to Freya. Freya used the Tear, an artifact of Life, to shape the Dream into being. Most likely the Brightlands (or whatever you wanna call it) has an in-between like the Shadowlands does, and it was out of this space the Dream was formed.
So, if this Fairy Tale book is to be believed. Eonar is the original Life Domain source of the Emerald Dream. Her BROTHER is An’she, he is likely of a Light/Life. Her younger sister is the WQ, she is of Death/Life. And her adopted daughter/sister is Eonar, of Order/Life. It would be quite the family tree if true. And while technically while all 4 of them are on the same teir of being, they are all deeply rooted in Elune.
EDIT: Actually, wouldn’t that deal with the weird issues of her power list? In that she is of the Life Cosmology, but able to channel the primary domains of her family to some effect? Light, Death, Order.
Or it is just that “everlasting party” sounds like a cool term and sounds like the sort of afterlife someone may want to go to.
The ultimate question is how the arbiter decides who goes where, which is literally one of the supposed problems that caused Sylvanas to go crazy in the first. It is hard to judge a system’s “fairness” when we don’t even truly know how it works aside from a vague the arbiter will judge your faults/accomplishments.
That would probably explain why elves and trolls seem to default to Ardenweald and not Paladinheim (yes, I hate Bastion, imagine being doomed to an afterlife that clips your beautiful elven ears, literally hell)
It is an interesting thought I had wondered, but what if WoW stars have a core of Light? Sort of like how World Souls naturally gathered a protective shell of material and became planets, these really huge shards of Light from the time of the great ordering might of gathered material around them and formed into stars.
You get some really interesting logical implications with it, like the idea of WoW black holes being stars that have fallen into a Void state.
All that, and crying / screaming CONSTANTLY even with the pacifier / baby bottle given to them, stealing toys from other children… just basically being a little in general, and reinforcing my decision IRL to NOT have children…
Spittin’ FACTs…
Also means that, if this character of mine RP-wise hadn’t made herself a Demon Hunter and bound her soul to the Twisting Nether – as was revealed in the DH starting quests, if you chose the “sacrifice yourself” option – she would have ended up in Revendreth… ironically, aligning herself with the Venthyr still fits from an RP perspective, at least more than it does if I were to align with the “BIS” covenant a.k.a. Kyrians…
On another note, it makes zero sense that, despite our connection to Azeroth being the reason we can die repeatedly – just like when we were on Azeroth – somehow our Heart of Azeroth is still “cut off from Azeroth’s life essence”… ummm, WHAT?! How come Anduin was able to summon his Light powers in the Maw then? Was that because Z’raali was in Revendreth?
I get they needed a reason to render our essences unusable in Shadowlands content, but they could have done the same thing they did with Legion artifacts… heck, they could have made us sacrifice our essences to activate the Maw waystone to Oribos, and it would have made perfect sense…
The writers just flat out don’t know what they are doing, or if they do, the results are quite inconsistent…
Man all this new lore is nauseating. Better quit this game before they rewrite my attachment to the RTS.
Time to start looking for other franchises. Or things to do.
Covenants should have been purely cosmetic… Torghast should have had endless layers, or at least one truly endless layer, with an option to come back to the floor you were on upon leaving…
I’m not saying they can’t fix all of this in future patches, or make the next expansion better, but at this point it seems they are getting worse instead of better… especially with all the layoffs, and cash grabs, and such…
I’m terrified at the thought of what the writers would have done to the night and blood elf campaigns if they’d changed as much as they seemed to plan to in reforged
