I went back and took a look at a few things and have come up with another thought process in relation to my previous post about Xal’atath’s grand scheme.
The original post is this one Xal’atath grand scheme requires the creation of a Horcrux of Each Old God. She has two Horcruxes already
Firstly I will start this by saying that you need to understand that each of the Old Gods accessed one of the Primal Elemental Forces this allowed them to essentially corrupt these forces which was a source of power and means to effect changes that couldn’t be prevented by even the Titans etc. So on that basis lets start to discuss each of the old gods and the elemental force they were able to corrupt and use for their own.
N’Zoth used Primal Elemental Fire, he siphoned it as an additional source of his power to corrupt it and make something new SHADOWFLAME
Y’Shaarj used Primal Elemental Spirit he siphoned it as a source to corrupt life and create various lifeforms. In addition to this I think that he was actually probably like a Vine that grew around and took over the first world tree of Azeroth. This corruption of life and especially the world tree was what Aman’thuul saw and decided it had to be removed, hence ripping it out. I.E when Aman’thuul ripped out Y’Shaarj he was also tearing out the first world tree that we know about now the two can’t be separated because through Y’Shaarj corruption of the World Tree the two essentially became one entity. Some evidence of this is various lore that have but the best part is the passages that mention about Y’Shaarj having roots that went deep into Azeroth, well a World Tree also has roots that go deep in to Azeroth and this can’t be overlooked the two aren’t mutually exclusive they are in actual fact the same. It also the basis of him getting titles like The Defiler he was able to corrupt and defile the power of the first World Tree to make it a source that he was able to use etc.
C’Thun use Primal Elemental Earth and it was thought this corruption that he was able to effect the Earthern Titanforged with the curse of flesh changing the basis of titan influenced life on Azeroth for ever.
Yogg’Saron was able to corrupt and use Primal Elemental Decay which is what allowed him to have his connection with Death i.e. obtain titles like The God of Death, The Fiend of a Thousand Faces etc. It was through Decay that Yogg’Saron got his so called Hunger and is the essence that corrupted Galakrond to create his hunger etc.
So taking that in to account you then have the following Primal Elemental Forces that from what we can tell weren’t corrupted fully in the same way by one of the old gods.
-
Primal Elemental Water
-
Primal Elemental Air
Firstly I know that many will point to the fact that N’Zoth did seem to have some relationship with Neptulon which would lead to the belief that N’Zoth also corrupted elemental water, However, I think it is more likely that Neptulon sided with the Old Gods and was an Ally to them aiding them in the fight against the Titans and the reason why he didn’t side with Deathwing after the Catacysm.
I believe it was Neptulon that aided N’Zoth in the creation of the Naga and this is more important than anything as it is the source of what I believe are events that will transpire in the near future.
Azshara is the Naga Queen who has been empowered by the Void through N’Zoth and rescued by Xal’atath to aid the Harbinger with her plans. This is very important because Azshara will be the vessel through which Xal’atath gains the power to corrupt the Primal Elemental Force of Water.
It is also very important to note that we have recently got a Dragon Aspect that is essentially a Dragon Aspect of Primal Elemental Water - Vyranoth which also isn’t likely a coincidence if you consider that Azshara will be associated with the corruption of Primal Elemental Water it would be clearly beneficial to have a Dragon Aspect associated with that force to be a source through which it can be countered.
Taking that all in to consideration Xal’atath effectively been able to a connection to or a source to siphon and use various corrupted primal elemental forces; so far she has Yogg’Saron’s corruption of Decay, N’Zoths corruption of Fire, & Azshara corruption of Water. However, she is going after Y’Shaarj’s corruption of Spirit and C’thun’s corruption of Earth…. but, there is still one missing Air……
Could this be the missing piece about Xal’atath about her past?
Could it be that she has some connection with Primal Elemental Air
There by making her the final piece and the source that enables the corruption of Primal Elemental Air. This then allows for the completion and the access to the final Primal Force that didn’t have a connection that was as obvious. If that is true this would then also tie into the concept of the whole fallen star in relation to her she came from the Sky (Air) which makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
Linking all this together Xal’atath is gathering sources which will allow her to access all of the corrupted primal elemental powers and this has much greater implications than anything anyone has considered before now. Firstly you need to realise the basis that the primal elemental forces are foundational forces through which all other cosmic forces are created meaning if she has access to them all she can replicate, counter or manipulate anything that is powered by or constructed by any of the cosmic forces….just think about that for a second and what implications that could have on TITAN CREATIONS etc. This is likely also the basis of the bargain between Iridikron and Xal’atath, she has told him that once she has access and control over all of the primal elemental forces she will be able to remove the Titan Stain and Influence from Azeroth which is Iridikron’s ultimate goal. However, what he doesn’t fully understand is what that will ultimately mean in terms for the Universe and the implications it could have in a much greater and larger scale.
Anyway just something that I realised earlier which has much greater cosmic implications if Xal’atath does actually succeed and this is actually her grand scheme. If she manages to gain control over and the power to manipulate all of the Primal Elemental Forces it has potentially a much greater impact if it is unchecked or managed.
