I’m going to regret asking why
Nope she never says that, lotcus walker even says its all possible
they literally do that in the maghar recruitment quests, the naaru came to draenor and all of a sudden the world started to die, crops dying, crystals appearing the naaru then tell yrel its cause the orcs dont worship the light

“Disorder” is just a basic boring word
Plus they use “Chaos” in place of Disorder in every single non-romance western language (e.g. Greek, some Slavic languages, etc) because Disorder doesn’t exist as a term in those languages
(when translating Chronicles and likely this book too)
It’s from the broker’s point of view.

So you think this is some kind of insult/slight towards non-western cultures?

No I just think it’s boring an unimaginative on their part and an arbitrary choice with no sensible reason
You have Life, so you have Death
You have Light, so you have Shadow
You have Order, so you have Chaos
“Disorder” is dumb
Also Greek is western lmao

Chaos is a more subjective concept.
To the uninformed or uninitiated, Order can be chaos. A battle proceeding exactly according to an orderly plan will seem like bloody chaos to the losing side. A complex formula with deliberate twists and turns toward an intentional conclusion will seem like a random, chaotic mess of numbers and shapes to the uneducated. But neither actually is Disorderly; both are structured a specific way toward a conceptualized end.
Disorder is explicitly a lack of structure and organization. Something that is specifically “not Ordered,” while what constitutes chaos varies depending upon the observer.

Raselle no.
In basic, standard fantasy the force opposed to Order is Chaos.
Blizzard uses the word Chaos instead of Disorder when translating into any Greek/Slavic language.
Because Disorder as a word only existence in Romance and Romance-influenced languages.
I swear yall just be saying things.
Disorder inherently even frames its existence in relation to Order.
It should be called Chaos (and is! In many western languages official translation of Chronicles!)
What I see from this, is that he has 2 theories about wisps:
- Is that Night Elves sacred forests gives them some sort of immortality (that is why Night Elves so desperately protect their sacred forests).
- Night Elves were created by Elune, since they are her origin, and that is why they can become wisps.
Both theories are pretty tasty.
No.
The first point is bouncing off Danuser’s answer in a Blizzcon panel that souls can stay in reality because of the power of religious belief
The second theory does not at all state Night Elves were created by Elune as a reason but just gestures to her personal intervention

Yeah, she does. Outright And Locus-walker confirms it.
She saw war. She saw the forces of the Light striking back against the Void. She saw darkened worlds burning in holy fire. She saw millions of creatures encased in luminous crystals the size of mountains, sustained by the Light and unable to die. Warriors of the Light were monsters, corrupting and consuming everything they touched.
On and on and on it went, until she could not even comprehend it all.
“Lies,” she whispered. “These are all lies.”
“Sear that into your heart,” the Locus-Walker said. “Know that, and never forget it.”
The cause of what’s happening to AU Draenor has never been determined. The Mag’har think it’s the draenei and their naaru allies. The draenei think it’s the Mag’har. It’s equally possible that neither is correct.

The situation on AU Draenor is morally ambiguous and that’s what makes it great, but if we’d have to take how the Mag’har are the player-oriented perspective then it leads credence to them more likely ending up being correct of the two interpretations.

The same perspective that pretends the Iron Horde never happened while their Lightbound adversaries include the Iron Horde’s victims. The Mag’har are even paling around with AU Grom as their leader.
What killed AU Draenor is literally a he-said, she-said situation.
I have always chalked it to Blizzard considering Warcraft’s history to be analogous to real life history in that you are just reading someone’s particular prespective of it.
I mean in a hundred years I am curious how people will even talk about the age we live in now. Similarly Warcraft history(be they books or the game) has always had a degree of soft world building exhibit A:
I am not sure how this is a lazy response when it feel like Blizzard just doesnt want to confirm what wisp really are and have not given themselves the flexibility of answer it, or never answering it.

ain’t that laziness???
Nah this is only the case post-Legion

While you have a point, there is one problem with the analogy. Many of the examples of history books in WoW can be confirmed by beings who were actually present and witnessed the now historical events - aside from the cosmic beings.
There are Night Elves present who lived through the War of the Ancients, two of them are faction leaders. There are Draenei who were present when they fled Argus. There are Dwarfs older than the Alliance.

its pretty clear
he doesnt, he says the void sees all paths as truth, and that the light sees one path as truth, he never says who is right and who is wrong (Cause nobody is)
How is it laziness? They give everyone just enough info to speculate on it and make their own conclusions. Conclusions that may or may not happen.
We live in a time where people have VASTLY different views of what has transpired in the world in the last few years. Heck, ask japan what they teach about World War 2 and see how different that is from your own understanding.
People have a tendency to gloss over/highlight certain things. The whole “Chronicles cosmology map is false” comes from a guy who might have his own bias.
While that’s not a recent development in human nature or limited to any one nation, I see your point.
