You already have Bastion. And it sucks there. No reason to make Revendreth suck too.

I know this is kinda contradictory with the idea that the âlight seeks only one truthâ. But Different naaru seem to have different views across the same spectrum.
You could see it as the various Naaru trying different approaches to get to the same end goal. The visions that direct them are not fully correct and are up to interpretation. Xeâra was very militaristic, and took a direct and aggressive interpretation. Aâdal was a calmer personality, and took the route of recruiting others to his cause through benevolent direction.
We also were not actually defying Aâdal either, though. Legion was the first time we saw how Naaru react if you reject the vision-orders from their Light Bosses. If I remember right Velen also admits he had been mind controlled by the Naaru more than once to ensure the fulfillment of the destiny the Light wanted for his people.

no, bastion is not destined to be the afterlife of the worshipers of the light, that is clear with what happened with alexandros. I would like Alexandros to meet Zârali

it was renathal who allowed zrali to live in a section of ember watch, the place where the naaru first came to revendreth and where the power of light is strongest.
Iâm sure Renathal knows that it was Denathrius who made the Naaru angry and that this is all his fault.

Until the unseen ones found me.
âUnseen guestsâ, The Nathrezim. Further leaning into that theme.
Oh, come now. Donât take it too seriously - calling naaru wind chimes is damn hilarious.

Aâdal may have not attacked Illidan yet Xeâra also condemned us for doing so despite latter attempting to Lightforge the Fel out of him!
Xiâri was the Naaru who attacked Illidan for his attack on Shattrath! When we came to Aâdal demanding a distraction for Akamaâs attack against Illidan he simply pointed out that Xiâri was already attacking him(just as he pointed out that the Scryers were going to attack Illidan to Maiev)!
Xiâri was also one of the smaller Naaru which puts her on the lower rungs of Naaru leadership so her going against her superiorsâ orders may be unsurprising!
Only slightly darkened Naaru ever claim there cannot be Light without Darkness!
As of right now, Zârali is not relevant to the 9.0 Covenant Campaign.
But she might be for 9.1+
The thing is, Aâdal is not Intolerant, as the poster Iâd originally quote had asserted.
Aâdal welcomes all into Shattrath, including demons, warlocks, shadow priests, etc⌠He doesnât have any issue working with people who wield powers other than the Light, unlike Xeâra.
In short, Aâdal represents a very different aspect of the Light and Naaru than more recent developments have shown. Thatâs why Iâm wondering if he might not be some kind of rebel or something.

There is a quest that once free, the Prince plans to give the Naaru some place at his court. Going to find it later

Maybe it was back in the ancient days when it was a young joke.
Now its teeth have all fallen out and its incontinence has given it a foul odor and it needs to be left to live its last days in peace.
Iâll be really upset if Blizzard forgets what they said about different naaru having different goals (and they did say that back when Argus came out). Itâs much more interesting to have a spectrum than just making every single one âhurrr Light bad because subverting expectationsâ (even though light is bad is so overused these days itâs honestly more subversive to just make it good).
Aâdal should never be our enemy, is what Iâm saying.
I donât remember this at all. The closest I remember is him saying heâs done listening to them.

For me, Naaru is a Giant Mecha/crystal robot (Like Gundam) with tiny alien mens âpilotingâ then from inside their core.
Its fun imagine Naaru as they were some light megazord.
I hope we never hear from Zârali again, now that sheâs got her revenge. Sheâs self-admitted that she canât go home.
I think Aâdal is probably an exile like Zârali. Might even be self exile.
In shattrath I remember there are like fire naaru. The light probably wonât be happy with non light. Couple that with living in twisting nether. Theyâll probably see themselves as âcorruptedâ like Zârali. Though their core being will still be to do their duty of the light. Also, the same as Zârali.
The description of the Lightâs attack really puts into perspective just how powerful each of the Covenants would be at full strength. Every single naaru weâve seen has been extremely potent in terms of what they can do with their abilities, if maybe not all raid boss levels.
Uncountable implies, at minimum, tens of thousands, and even if naaru comprised a small portion only, thatâs still probably hundreds of them attacking only one of the Covenants, and⌠they were repelled, and only damaged one chunk of Revendreth. Thatâs some serious power on the side of Death, because it sounds like this wasnât just some little raiding party, it was full on war, and they were booted out.
Thought the same thing about the Void attacks on Bastion, and how a single one of the Paragons was able to use her anima to wipe out all the Void entities and their portals in one fell swoop. Sacrificing herself, of course, but thatâs still a ton of power, and she was below the Archon in terms of power.

We have two hints so far.
From Enemy Infiltration - Preface
Similar to the titans, the naaru and their keepers are singular in purpose.
And Xalâatath (in Netherlight Temple):
I know the naaru consider us horrors to be resisted. We do not share this view. They are merely beloved brethren that lost the true path. They will return to their masters⌠in time.
Which could mean actually different entities, if âkeepersâ prevent naaru from returning to the true_pathâ˘.
I think those are âdeliveredâ by brokers.
He is overloaded with anima as-is. Adding more could be an overkill.
Nah, people are just fans of Locus Walker for whatever reason. And refer to Xeâra - Illidan scene as if it was not the planâ˘.
Xeâra (Awakenings quest):
When our work is complete, I will be lost to the Great Dark.
So, she knew what is going to happen around 7.0 patch when we just started to interact with Xeâra. And causing such reaction from Illidan likely was the intention.
Xeâra explicitly states that she is a creation
Xeâra (In the House of Light and Shadow):
I am Xeâra, one of the first naaru to be forged here during the great ordering of the cosmos.
This idea comes from an ethereal, and (maybe) a dreadlord. Highly trust worthy entities. Not shady at all.
Chronicles state that naaru saw âlimitless possibilitiesâ. There is the story about Velenâs vision which explicitly describes what the actual vision given to him by the light⢠looks like. Good luck finding there anything that looks like âone pathâ. And so on.
Unless we know the details, that might be the actual time when Maldraxxus fought against the light⢠invasion.
There is a bit more to the story.
Keeper Mnemis :
Throughout her life, Agthia wielded great command over the powers of anima.
With her final breaths, she sacrificed all that she had, channeling the power within and around her to turn herself into a blast of pure anima.
With a single blast she sent out a ripple that destroyed not only their commander, but all Void forces across Bastion.
She used not just her own anima, and itâs possible that she used quite a bit of what was available across the entire Bastion.
