As we know, the final expansion in the Worldsoul saga “The Last Titan” promises the return of the titan pantheon for a purpose that has yet to be revealed and will likely be known once the upcoming Midnight expansion concludes.
But that leaves us with an important question; Who is THE last titan?
Typically, game titles don’t have the tendency to spoil the resolution of its story, so we’d have to assume that we’re going into the expansion with said ‘last titan’ being established prior, so who would it be?
Most would assume it to be the Azeroth worldsoul, but as TWW has largely indicated, worldsouls aren’t inherently titanic in nature and only become such through external influence. Next we’d assume it’d naturally be a member of the titan pantheon, but there are 7 and the term ‘last’ would indicate that only one would remain by the time the expansion turns up. Not only in relation to the titan pantheon, but just the last in the universe at whole. And also keep in mind that the titan pantheon was already killed and we still have yet to understand the nature of their current existence established from their ‘return’ in Legion. Are they fully returned or were they still just spirits that were able to retain enough of their corporeality to conduct their ritual to bind Sargeras to the seat of the Pantheon.
I think the answer may be more obvious than we might assume;
I think the Last Titan is simply Sargeras himself.
He’s the only remaining titan who has yet to have perished or have their coporeal existence altered in any considerable way and I feel like him dying would be rather anticlimactic. I think what will end up happening is that through our conflict with the void in Midnight, he will break free from his confinement overpowering his jailers and return to Azeroth to claim his prize, with Illidan being sent to Azeroth Infinity-War hulk style to deliver the message ahead of time and prepare Azeroth’s heroes for the fallen titan’s final onslaught as he arrives to a world that is now scarred by a large-scale conflict with the void and seeks to finish what he started in Legion.
Idk, just a random thought-piece. Just wanted to put this out there gauge opinions as we progress through this ongoing saga and details become more clear.

I think things are going to go so wrong that Illidan sees working with Sargeras as the only solution to avoid oblivion. Maybe even serving as a vessel/avatar for a Sargeras who remains bound to the Seat even with the other Titans slain.
I do suspect Sarg is the last Titan, though.

I thought Azeroth was hinted at being the “Last” Titan worldsoul?
There are only three options for “Last Titan”. It is either Aman’thul because he does something horrible to the rest of the Pantheon and plans to do something horrible to Azeroth. Sargeras, because he does something to the rest of the Pantheon. Or Azeroth because something horrible happens to the other titans.

I think the title refers to Azeroth but I do think Sargeras will be involved in some way given Metzen teased Illidan would show up, and Illidan is guarding him. I just don’t think he’ll be prominent enough to be the thing the expansion is named after. Like Kagehiro I could see it being an “enemy of my enemy” scenario teamup with Sargeras.

I suppose K’aresh surviving is the final nail in the coffin for Worldsouls =/= Titan by default. Maybe they’re not supposed to evolve beyond Worldsouls at all. Maybe Aman’thul isn’t even from our timeline.
i always thought it was azeroth but as we never see it as a titan or egg or whatever people say it is, im starting to think its sargeras, maybe he is gonna be the main bad guy again in TLT
also thinking about shadowlands, if a titan dies, where do they go? shadowlands? they become one of those shadowlands etereals?
It depends how they decide to rule things. Technically there is only one living Titan right now—Sargeras. The others are basically super powerful ghosts as their bodies were incinerated by Sargeras. So they are sort of… dead…
There apparently is some sort of “order lands”, which the unbound space the Etherals fall into seems to be connected to. For some reason they intentionally avoided returning there, though…
There are so many unanswered questions with respect to Titans and Worldsouls, we really need an explanation on how Titans relate to the ‘Arcanelands’ and a definitive answer on if the word Titan (as we know it) specifically means “Arcane-aligned/corrupted Worldsoul”.
iridikron is still out there plotting to be the last imitation version of titan he so despised
a leak showed a titan underground
it was like some elden ring thing but better honestly
A leak also showed the Jailer as a spooky Aman’thul with a full beard and epic armor.
We know how accurate that was in translation from the concept art.
Thank goodness. For a second I thought you were going to say Illidan and was worried they were going to make him male Kerrigan by giving Illidan the Xel’naga treatment.
This is a wild assertion to be basing a theory on.
“Last” doesn’t need to mean “Last and only remaining.” It can easily refer to the last entry on a list, with all other entries still present.

Indeed. The last Titan:

The fact that it’s from Reddit is hilarious (either the poster was extremely self-aware or not at all).
So can someone break this down for me?
Worldsouls aren’t inherently titanic in nature, but any cosmic force can influence one to make a Titan.
Does this mean that eternals and void lords were worldsouls?
Nah, this is just the natural byproduct of people changing foundational setting lore multiple times across multiple Creative Leads. Worldsouls were just nascent Titans, but as of SL/DF they’ve begun dropping hints that Worldsouls are probably just something unique that cosmic forces can corrupt/influence/whatever.
Even though Argus was pumped full of Fel and Death and still became a Titan. They’ll probably just say Sargeras still used the usual Titan process to influence him.
Adding further confusion, if we go with context clues with K’aresh’s Worldsoul, it is a crystallized essence that sang a Radiant Song. Beledar is a crystallized essence that sings a Radiant Song (the same Radiant Song if Locus-Walker was speaking truthfully). Beledar is not Azeroth, obviously, so uh … seriously, why does no one involved with this stuff seem even remotely perturbed or interested in the connections here?

Correct, in the case of Azeroth, it could easily be referring to the Last Titan the Pantheon ever discovered.
Insofar as where Argus or K’aresh would fit into that “order,” we don’t actually know if those planets were completely undiscovered Worldsouls that just happened to be found by Sargeras and Dimensius, respectively, or if they were both visited by the Titans in the past and then left to develop after they’d finished Reordering those planets to support life that would aid in their gestation. We already know via Azeroth that whenever the Pantheon did find a Worldsoul, they didn’t necessarily hang around indefinitely to observe it; once they’d finish installing the systems to aid and oversee its growth, they’d seemingly leave and continue searching for more, with the planet’s facilities and assigned Constellar being responsible for calling them back for later scheduled re-visitation to either check on or bring about the Worldsoul’s emergence.
