In the second weekly Archives quest,
Archive: Geschichte suchen
, players learn more about why the Titan Pantheon brought order to Azeroth, and the facilities they built to do so.
WARNING: Spoilers for The War Within!
The Message of the Archive
Archaedas says: On Azeroth, the Pantheon sensed a powerful source of corruption. To protect the Worldsoul, they sent us, the keepers, to lead the titanforged forces into battle.
Archaedas says: In time, we rooted out and defeated the threat, imprisoning its last vestiges in the deep places of the world.
Archaedas says: Then, led by Aman'Thul himself, the titans set toward studying the soul of Azeroth to determine whether it truly was the one they sought.
Archaedas says: To aid the titans, we keepers were tasked with engineering the Manifold--a vast, world-spanning complex of machines, forges and installations.
Archaedas says: Working in tandem, they would bring order to Azeroth, and create a means by which the Pantheon could examine the Worldsoul in depth.
As before, we see Dagran and Brinthe's reaction to the message from the Keeper, with Dagran explaining which bits of information we knew already, and which have a new context.
Dagran Thaurissan II says: That corruption the keeper's talking about... that's the Old Gods. That must be why they were here as well--for the power of the Worldsoul...
Dagran Thaurissan II says: Though I've also read that while the titans defeated the Old Gods, they tore a wound in the world. Always thought that was just a metaphor.
High Speaker Brinthe says: It seems clear now that Azeroth must be the Prime Worldsoul.
Dagran Thaurissan II says: That would explain why the Void, the titans... the Legion... every cosmological force... have sought to control it--or destroy it--over the eons.What do you suppose the titans needed to study about it?
High Speaker Brinthe says: We cannot possibly understand the intricacies of the titans' reasons. But that complex Archaedas mentioned--I believe I know what that is about...
The True Purpose of Azeroth's Titan Facilities
While most of the information here is not new, the context has certainly changed. In
the last Archives quest
, we learned that Azeroth may not be a slumbering Titan like we previously believed, but a Worldsoul with the potential to become a great being of any cosmic force. Not only that, we learned that she seems to be the 'Prime Worldsoul', one above all the others with the greatest potential for change.
As Archaedas explains, once the Titans reached Azeroth, they found it already infested by the Old Gods, and in their efforts to cleanse it, Aman'thul plucked the strongest of them Y'shaarj clean from the ground. While his actions did (mostly) purge the eldest Old God's corruption from the planet, it left a gaping wound in the world that began to bleed across the land. To better preserve the planet's life, they were forced to imprison the deeply-rooted entities rather than kill them.
As far as we knew prior, the story ended there. Facilities such as Ulduar were built to monitor the Old Gods and the health of the planet, and the Well of Eternity was crafted around the wound created by Y'shaarj. What Archaedas newly reveals is that those facilities were just a handful in a complex known as 'the Manifold', which was built not only to safeguard the planet, but to examine it's true nature.
What that examination is for remains a mystery, as Dagran says, but with Brinthe's familiarity with the Manifold, it is likely that the Coreway is an important piece of that complex. As the Titan's primary access to the Worldsoul's physical place at the center of the world, it would be of the utmost importance to defend, and given we know Archaedas was the creator the unique Earthen we find in Khaz Algar, it seems their unique nature corresponds to the unique nature of the facility they were made for.
With Brinthe's ominous cliffhanger, we will likely learn more answers about the Manifold in the next Archives quest, so stay tuned for more in a few weeks!
