Hello everyone!
This is just a general discussion of a random thought I had concerning all the void pressence coming in TWW+Midnight.
As we all know, Xal’atath was an entity trapped within one of our Legion artifact weapons. I feel safe in assuming I might not be the only one who likes the idea of seeing more of our old artifact weapons returning, as the ending of Legion felt (in my opinion) lackluster - perhaps bitter - as we were given this plethora of weapons of legend for a singular expansion, only for them to be discarded and essentially worthless at the end.
Anyway, back to the main topic. Returning artifact weapons-
To those who don’t know, The Ashbringer (more specoficially, the gold disc you see on the blade) was originally a void crystal, and had the light cast on it until the crystal consumed enough light to become a light crystal.
I recall there once being some speculation that this crystal was part of a naaru, and if so, could have the same nature as a naaru as it shifts between light and void. There was also it’s corrupted form; that feels like another conversation to tackle, though I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions on the Corrupted Ashbringer.
So we’re about to jump into the big bad void. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see The Ashbringer make some sort of appearance, either as a weapon against the void or converted into a weapon for the void in some way?
Are there any other artifact weapons you could see making an appearance in the future?
If you made it this far - thank you for reading! Sorry I went all over the place there, but I hope it still made sense.
