I believe Xal'atath was the first titan, and also the first to be corrupted by the void. Her name is the harbinger, the one who signals the approach of another. She was corrupted by the void lords to usher in their existence into our cosmos. It also makes for good story symmetry, having her be the first, and Azeroth be the last.
I have been theorizing Azeroth being a first one since Shadowlands. I wouldnt be surprised if blizzard answers the question if its the case of "where did the first ones go? why did they leave behind azeroth"...i think it will be answered with a story based on the Wonder Woman movie...Where the first ones were killed off (perhaps by the beings of the other pantheons they created) and they left behind Azeroth disguised as a nascent world soul. Now the introduction of Azeroth being a "prime world soul" puts a wrench in that story, as that would mean the other pantheons had knowledge of a prime world soul existing. I think The first ones would have left behind Azeroth as a measure to keep all of the other cosmic forces into balance...sort of like the Chosen one prophecy in Star Wars. The answer to the Demon pantheon perhaps lies into their nature...the demons are chaotic...their nature is chaos. How can there be leaders of chaos as that would be more associated with Order. The only reason they had any sort of leadership was due to Sargeras doing a "ordering" of his own with the demon forces. Even when we would see them, they often resorted to fighting eachother...sort of like the 2 demons in arcatraz dungeon in tbc...they just want to fight. So either Sargeras killed the entire fel pantheon (as they wouldnt be together or else theyd just fight endlessly) or they already killed each other and what came from them were the demons like in Diablo.
basically all cosmic powers try to get azeroth to become their prime-whatever. now azeroth is quite mixed with all powers, and this will create a 7th power. for this to happen we have to make sure, noone wins over the other.
Makes a lot of sense what you are saying. So, from our perspective, our job is to keep Azeroth free from all these potential influences and let it/them come into their own, be born free of corruption (of any kind) and through that, bring an unbiased unity to the cosmos (my take). This will not bode well for the Titans who will see that anything which does not follow the Titan way will be evil or at least a failure on their part. Are we going to battle the Titans on Azeroth's behalf??
Good video and theory, but oof that title. I nearly didn't click just because it mentioned First Ones, but I saw it was from you so I went with it and am glad I did.
@@DiscordianKitty Honestly I think with the folks who follow you and know what you’re about, you don’t need that. There’s a channel called In Deep Geek that does lore dives on other worlds, I think you’d be better off following his title model.
Wait... people have an issue with the 1st ones? Of the few good things that came out of Shadowbringer's punching bag, the first ones were among the biggest ones that I liked. Except the whole "we created something we knew was bad but instead of just getting rid of it, we left fail safes behind so that others could deal with it instead and learn some kinda lesson in the process" thing.
The thing is, Med’an’s adopted dad Meryl Felstorm, the 3000 year old Arathi mage is going fine after the crash, he has good reason to get involved in the story, and we must ask the question we ask whenever Med’an is not on screen, “Where’s Med’an?”
LOVED this lay out, well done!This video not only told the story well, but even had some interesting tidbits I missed while I was questing even though I got sojourner in all 4 zones. T&E also sent me :)
T&E sent me. The music volume is a bit too intense at that intro. Gonna try to keep an eye on your stuff as I've always enjoyed your takes broadcasted elsewhere
Ahh thank you for saying so. I'm still in early/experimentation stages and I had the music a little louder for this video so it's great to know I need to tone that down.
Arator, despite being very high elf and alliance-coded, was riding a blood elf dragonhawk in legion. I hope they sort him out a bit in Midnight, as well as giving him a unique and updated model. Currently he's just a high elf. : (
During the Isle of Dorne storyline, the quest that sends us to visit the inn, flight master, etc, these two can be found sitting in the inn. If you want the full conversation in context (and maybe other stay awhiles you might have missed) here's my video on the story of the Isle of Dorne. It's at 24:43 - during the chapter Earthen Fissures. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YeJ2Yb6t4Sw.html
All i wish is for Ethereals Allied Race - i love how they have a special effect when movin disappearing for a fraction of a second, but that it's, maby, for a future expansion
Gotta ask: the heck's up with western fantasy hooking up a human male with an elven female? Now obviously, Turalyon got some age help thanks to the writers, infusing him with light to keep him alive, but what gives? Why do so many times in this game particularly do fem-elves seem to have the hots for people they'll outlive by an odd few thousand years or so? Lol, silly question I'm aware but that's bothered me for some time now. Lor'themar and Thalysra, Tyrande and what's his face all make sense. Seems like someone's living out their wildest fantasies while writing the story for this game. Anywho, good video. Very well done!
@@Boxkar24 the honest truth is, these characters were written by men, lol. I always found it funny that the Windrunner girls in particular clearly have a collective thing for humans. But I do think it makes a certain amount of sense. The Silvermoon they were raised in was mostly isolated from the outside world. Familiarity breeds contempt, and the Sylvanas novel talks about how the more pampered, upperclass elves tended to be irritating to women who dealt with actual combat and weren't so sheltered. In that context, humans are exotic and offer a breath of fresh air, a way to escape the mundanity of perfection.
I really like how much weight you put into Alleria being an unreliable narrator, that's a very good point. I think a lot of people lose sight of that possibility in these things. Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed it
