So the so called Dragons, the protectors of Azeroth, were NOT called when Sargeras attacked it with full force and might, they were still not called when he stuck this big sword inside Azeroth. Those protectors were not called even years after that sword had been stuck inside Azeroth. But now, for whatever extremely dangerous world ending level of threat (that will hopefully be explained later), those protectors of Azeroth are called back. Yay! I guess 😃
A massive blue arm explodes out of Un'goro crater, grabbing the sword. An incredibly loud voice then reverberates through out the planet saying "If you want something doing, do it youself.", and Azeroth herself pulls the sword free, purifying it and claiming it as her own...or something >.>
Let’s also not forget the same thing was said about the “red star” left when the titans closed the portal to Argus. We were told to “keep an eye on it” as well
"Danuser promised that it's part of a story thread that we will return to - " in a web comic with companion series of novels that will lead directly into the msq of 10.4
sounds very much like the red star where the portal to argus wasthey too told us to keep an eye on it when it disappears
Azeroth hatches and just rips the sword out of her chest and thrusts it into a void lord's heart.
You might not like what the story eventually does with it, but it's important to remember that just because a hanging plot thread doesn't immediately get addressed doesn't necessarily mean they forgot about it. Legion brought back, progressed and tied together a bunch of dangling threads. People wondered about the state of Hyjal, what Uldum was and where Aszhara was for almost a full decade after WoW's launch before we got anything to do with them. Sometimes it's more "realistic" that something goes unaddressed for a while before it becomes relevant again. Though they could probably calm a lot of people down by having some flavour text in 9.2.5 that mentions the Shaman/Druids have done a good job at stabilising the wound and the sword is being examined by the Kirin Tor or whatever.
SPOILER alert..... when Azeroth hatches they/them needs a weapon. How poetic that she wields the sword that was pounded into them.
Nothing beyond Legion has been canon
just like the eye of n'zoth still on my head i still have that quest in my quest log and i refuse to remove it whats going on with all of that also ?
"Alright everyone let's get all our airships out, turn some rope around this sucker and yank her out. Remember to wrap the rope around the hilt to be extra secure.""Hope much rope and airships will we need?""Ummm.... Just bring em all. Also wrap ropes around as many Druids in flight form as possible, get all the heroes on.their flying mounts and dragons. Tie some balloons and the birds of Azeroth for good measure.""Ok everyone, 1, 2, 3 pull.""Ok we pulled it out... Azerite is spewing everywhere, now what?""Just lay it down across from Silithis to Winter spring. We'll figure it out after we stop the bleeding. Grab plenty of Druids, Shamans and Bandaids to heal this thing up.""Ok that's fine, now what?""Ummm..... Tie a crap ton of balloons and get the space ship from argus and let's float this sword off into space. Whatever you do, don't hit Elune on the way up".
Azeroth is born and pulls the sword out and that is their weapon to fight the next big bad everyone is talking about but no one names.
Now Skeeter that sword ain't hurtin' nobody.
