We FINALLY Know What's On The Other Side of Azeroth

Ойындар

Rediscover your love for the classic dragon rider epic by listening to Songs of Chaos: link.michaelrmiller.co.uk/Bel... Sponsored by Michael R Miller.
The Arathi of Hallowfall hit Alpha like a storm of Light and metal. But the more we uncovered, the more down right insane their lore got. Not just a lost kingdom of humans, but an empire of half elves fanatical to the Light. On the other side of the planet! We’re breaking down the transmogs, interrogating their characters and seeing just how vast this new lore horizon might be.

    Prediction: some of the Hallowfall Arathi will manage to get back to Avaloren at the end of TWW, maybe Anduin will even leave with them as an envoy, and they'll be MIA until the end of Midnight, when their armada will arrive at the eleventh hour to take part in Renilash and help us banish the Void. Then they'll help us unravel the dark truth of the titans during TLT, and Order will also fall. At that moment the Light will ascend to primacy over the cosmic forces and seek to wash over the universe. The empowered and emboldened Arathi Empire will launch a crusade to try to lay claim to all of Azeroth, and we'll team up with Faedrin and the "Hallowfallen" to launch a rebellion against the Emperor and restore the throne to the rightful descendant of Thoradin, with the Thalassian elves honoring their bload oath to his family line.

    One problem I am seeing..... is that we traded skepticism about unreliable narrators from the chronicle books....... for an undeserved total faith in unreliable narrators from every other team and every other source. We do not "know" that there is an arathi empire of half elves and half humans on another side of the planet. What we "know" is that a little girl who didn't know what was really going on when she stowed away on an Airship believes that there was some kind of storm or disturbance the crew of the Airship was failing to survive.....and that some mysterious Light magic instantly teleported them into an underground cavern on our planet. Given that it was Light magic and seemingly instantaneous teleportation.....it could have come from anywhere. From another planet, even..... or from our planet but in a distant future, or a distant past. It is entirely possible that these Arathi are not from our present timeline. Meaning they could be from an alternate Azeroth, or.....as suggested, maybe from the future of Azeroth and they were teleported back in time by the Naaru and their dimensional spaceships. Since many consider Odyn to be an "enemy of all" ....and he has stolen (or been given) Light magic for his own goals in the halls of valor; what if some Naaru made a bargain with Odyn that granted him some borrowed Light magic in exchange for his knowledge of Time Travel magic which Aman'thul taught him before Odyn abandoned Aman'thul and got kicked out of his role as the previous prime designate? Thus, those naaru could have brought some human/elf hybrids from the future.... back here.....to be useful in confronting the Void who also violated time travel rules to manipulate events here? The Il'gynoth whisper of "the Light has made a bargain with the enemy of all" would seem very appropriate here. Thus, the lore has not demonstrated to us that there is any other side of the planet..... only that there are strangely violent barriers way out at sea; which could just be magical gateways to those other timelines or other alternate planets or what have you.

I always considered Azeroth a Globe and not Flat, so to know that what we have interacted across such great distances already, and there is STILL a whole other Continent(Maybe more) that we haven't even seen because of their own isolation because of the Storms is crazy. Azeroth is a lot bigger than some of us imagine. And as some folk have pointed out, with the Army of the Light and their Spaceship, why haven't they found more out about the other side(s) of Azeroth? Or do we just ignore the fact they are still out there? Maybe they will come in towards the end of the expansion to help the potentially trapped Naaru in Azeroth?

There are other continents but as far as we know they weren't tainted by old god corruption and weren't ordered by the titans.

How did any of this Arathi stuff sneak past him? I can see everyone else being clueless, but you'd think Velen would have sensed the Naaru in Beledar ages ago. Unless maybe it ISN'T a Naaru...

    Honestly this has some similarities with some expansion fanfic I made back in the day. I liked the idea of us discovering a new giant continent on the Other side of Azeroth, which would take several expansions to explore. There would be a lost human civilisation (like this new Arathi Empire), giant battles over the fate of Azeroth between light, fel, void and light, much like on our side of Azeroth but we never knew of it, they would have their own heroes and all that. Aaah it was fun making those concepts / fanfics.

    This "fallen star" thing that they keep referring to Beladar with reminds me a lot of the fallen star questline back in Legion, where unknown to us at the time, Xe'ra's heart was resting in our class order halls for the entire expansion before we pulled it out in a cutscene to awaken Xe'ra in the Antorus patch. I wonder if this giant star that crashed through the ceiling of the cave is the "heart" of a mega-naaru of some kind...

  • @justinwallace269
    @justinwallace26910 күн бұрын

    Baladar looks like a great Naaru ship. Larger than anything we've seen. So far I find the Arathi content somewhat underwhelming but it has its good points. I like the interior of the new buildings and their iconography. Their armor sets are decent and and the concept of Half-Elves is somewhat interesting if we get to play them. That being said, the story content is largely recycled ideas stretched too thin and probably will retcon more than I'd like. The one armed Lothar woman is basically a DEI Frankenstein and absolutely hilarious to behold. Personally, I'd rather not have recycled races like a new Dwarf, or a new Human, but Arathi lore could be interesting if there's indeed more to it than what we're seeing here. Additionally, the Arathi should be introduced by Turalyon and Anduin Wrynn following the origins of Anduin Lothar, himself. Finding out more about his history and where he came from. Lothar has been all but ignored in this game, and this would be an opportune time to change that with characters who have some sort of connection with him. Possibly even bringing together the original cast of heroes, Khadgar, Turalyon, Alleria, Danath, and Kurdran, taking a journey with Anduin Wrynn. I'd rather learn more about our old hero new and old faces than get yet another random girl-boss character. This is getting to be a bit much. I don't see much more of interest with this expansion, but hoping for the best.

    When you were describing about the Arathi Empire in the video I'm reminded of the "the boy-king serves at the master's table" ... So, the boy-king could be Anduin, who seems to be searching for a destiny to call his own. Does he end up swearing allegiance to the Emperor of the Arathi in the end? So Stormwind is founded by the descendents of the Arathi. That would make Anduin a distant cousin of the Emperor, and if he has no son of his own, he could name Anduin an heir. If the Emperor is fighting the servants of Void, and seemingly now also Xal'atath, then the scene in Son of the Wolf, on the last page, may be High King Anduin who is not just the king of all of Eastern Kingdom but also of the Arathi Empire, serving "his father" (the one he found in the Arathi Empire) one last time. Everyone who speculated up to now, me included, may have thought that the "master" in the sentence was an Old God. But why not an Emperor with a lot more claim over most of the Eastern Kingdoms than Anduin has... Side note, one of the people shown in the comic definitely looks like a Broken to me to be honest. Something I only noticed now after the Draenei heritage questline. Also, now they've found their home, they're not really exiles anymore. I had to look this up but if "Dioniss aca" means "safe journey" and "ei" in Draenei is "One" or "Ones" (Draen means Exiled) then "Dionisei" might be a good candidate for a new name, and have the youngest people start referring to themselves that way saying "I'm not Draenei, I'm Dionisei" which I based on the High Elf/Arathi quote in the video) meaning "Safe Ones." It's just an idea btw... Maybe the "Dionisei" become a playable allied race option after The Last Titan has played out, in whatever three part story comes next...

    It is interesting to see a one-armed model in game, and realistically we should've seen many of them before with all the war that happens, but on the other hand it's not very believable that a one-armed person would reach a high military position, or any military position, unless they had some way of magically conjuring an arm. So I feel like the one-armed people we should see in game should be retired and/or homeless veterans, rather than active officers.

    I could be wrong but: ThoraDIN, not ThoraDAIN. I believe the Arathi aren't from Lordaeron either, they're from.. Arathi. As in, Stromgarde. Also, the new Lothar is not a member of the Lothar Dynasty. Her name is Lothar, because it seems to be a common or recurring name from the Arathi and later Stromic people, like John is for us IRL - IE, James John and John Mortimer both have John in the name but they're not necessarily related. Anduin Lothar was a descendent of Faldir Lothar, who left Arathi (Then Stromgarde) before the collapse to sail to and then help settle Stormwind. There isn't a way the new "Lothar" and the historical Lothars could be related, given the offshoot Arathi featured in War Within are said to have left around the time or even before Thoradin's rise (Year -3300) whereas Faldir was considered the last descendent of Thoradin and he left for Stormwind from Strom around Year -1,200 ish.

Could they have an interest in presenting Thaelin as a new heir to the throne?
