Thinking Forward: A Song of the Depths

Lore Story Forum

So I was pondering on the A Song of the Depths lore book, and some things stood out to me going forward.

As one storm recedes, another rises. The torches have been lit. The secrets he buried will strike as a dagger into the hearts of his kin!

The first line obviously references Raszageth and her end. The second likely the Oathstones, which almost literally are torches. the third line, though… Iridikron almost word for word said the same thing in the 10.1 intro cinematic. Is he the harbinger of the Void? Not the Old Gods, the Cosmic Void.

The Harbinger speaks of a primal power that seeks the end of Order. Such rage can be bent to serve our ends.

If Iridikron is the Harbinger of the Void, this would fit him well. He no longer cares about the philosophical underpinnings of the conflict, he just wants to win. He sees the primalist movement and likely even the other Incarnates as tools, a means to fulfill his end of whatever dark bargains he made with the Void Lords.

A hunger lost to the ages will be reclaimed.

Likely references Galakrond. Perhaps he means to revive the Father of Dragons as a weapon of the Void?

A dark heart left broken awaits the taking.

Harder to say, sort of seems like it could be referencing Azeroth? Or, it could actually reference the Heart of Azeroth itself, which may of gone dormant but still has a direct tie to Azeroth’s power. We do have a track record of not keeping track of important relics and letting bad people steal them after we don’t need them.

When these things come to pass, the Harbinger will fulfill the final prophecy and complete the awakening.

I seriously doubt they would awaken Azeroth, as that seems like total end game. So, with that in mind, the Awakening of who? If it is not a literal awakening, it could mean Irikikron will fulfill his bargain when he sees this prophecy fulfilled and ascend into a Void form rivaling an Old God in power.

“Her Heart is a Crater and we have filled it” - Il’gynoth

“She seeks that which must be earned by sacrifice.” - Barrowknoll Cemetery Whispers

“Her blood is making him stronger. Yours will, too.” - Barrowknoll Cemetery Whispers

Whoever is injured(presumably the Blind Queen AKA the Earthmother) is fueling a hungering entity and she seeks resurrection and the Naga seek to revive her and the creature eating at her.

Calling it now: The creature drinking her blood is the Black Goat with Seven Eyes that watches from the outside of her pool.

The Naga will offer themselves and the Dragon Aspects to the Black Goat in exchange for freeing the Drowned God of the Night: The Blind Queen: The Earthmother herself.

So Azshara seeks to corrupt the Earthmother to her control… Only one Void-aligned entity was to succeed in this ultimate task. N’Zoth himself knew that Azshara was the only candidate and was so enraged that she would betray him that he resorted to betting on us to defeat her, the Black Goat and the Earthmother and thus gave us the Whispers in order to prepare us when Murozond fell through.

What are the chances that the Blood of Sarkareth’s corpse will draw out both the Black Goat with Seven Eyes and the Drowned God from the Pool in the Raid?

I think it’s pretty obvious we’re going to the Void next expansion. My theory is that one of the Incarnates is secretly a void agent (probably either Fyrakk or Iridikron) and will somehow activate the way for the Void to directly reach Azeroth. Something in Zaralek will probably be found to cause this. I’m not sure what the more vague phrases mean. It might be more obvious in time.

I’m starting to suspect that the Black Goat(the Enemy of All) was a resurrected Y’Shaarj that the Titans had Neltharion capture and bury alongside the Earthmother ultimately locking both away in Zaralek Cavern.

The Light of Lights(Light of the Moon, Light of a Thousand Moons and the Light beneath the Tides) Azshara’s deal with Y’Shaarj and the Earthmother is to open up Zaralek Cavern so that both can escape to the surface with the Earthmother teaming up with Azshara.

Y’Shaarj would arrange for Vyranoth to feign innocence of Iridikron’s Void-aligned schemes and desire to bathe in the waters of the Halls of Infusion but Chromie and Nozdormu would see through it causing the Infinite strands of the rope to become unable to bind themselves to the main thread causing Infinite Truths and One Truth at the same time to become reality as the First Ones foresaw.

Odyn impressed at Nozdormu’s willingness to forego the path that would lead to the Memories of Tyr’s destination in the Timeways(by moving the Main Timeline away from that Convergence in the Timelines) would give him and the other Dragon Aspects their Aspectral Powers back then entrust Nozdormu with the task of dealing with Murozond’s attempts to grab the Odyn in the Convergence.

Murozond is forced to flee to the past not that this helps as Y’Shaarj grabs Odyn right as he is congratulating us just so that he can reward the Primal Incarnates for their aid.

The battle against the Black Goat Y’Shaarj becomes the Final Raid(with a Void-corrupted Odyn as a Raid Boss alongside Fyrakk and Vyranoth) and Y’Shaarj himself after losing to us ultimately learns the extent of Iridikron’s Hunger and gets eaten by Iridikron who flees into the Void where we chase him and after the Final Boss Fight of the Raid unleash the power of the Oathstones and the Elements on him obliterating him just as we did Deathwing and N’Zoth.

Since they died in the Void both Y’Shaarj and Iridikron would be dead for good setting up the Expansion involving Azshara and the Earthmother.
