Thinking about this information and some of the more mundane things the Arathi have been using the "sacred flame" for (from light sources to fuel for airships), I wouldn't be surprised if they just simply were using Azertie all along and never realized it...
So it all goes back to Azerithe in the end...
Be nice if I could actually do this questline. Only the first quest has ever popped up for me, and that was even 2 weeks after it had for everyone else.
Tbh, I guess this explaination is fine, but I wish it was more exciting like it crashing. However, none of the NPCs saw any giant light thing falling down so it makes sense it definitely didn't happen and was obvious.
Wait, it was always Azerite?*Magni, relapsing on his condition* "always has been lad"
It makes me crazy how bad wowhead's lore speculation can be and still be stated like it's fact. It isn't claimed ANYWHERE that the healing of the planet caused and created the crystals. It could just as easily be related to its status as the Prime.
"Cleansed the world of the old gods"If brutally ripping them out of the literal crust of the planet is 'cleansing,' then setting fire to clothing is laundry.Nice to now know that SoD is essentially just the way of them justifying the uncountable retcons they've done. Plus I mean this is more or less something we've known about for 15 years when Algalon was sent by the Pantheon to evaluate and "re-originate" Azeroth. Just wipe it clean because everyone and everything sucks. I dunno man, all this new story is cool and all but it feels thinner than paper when we've already met and seen how weirdly useless the Pantheon was with Argus who was basically a proto-world soul. Hell, Eonar didn't even directly resurrect us when Argus killed us, she grew a sapling that had limited energy so we could use it to revive.I'm admittedly nitpicky but still. The continuity is a meme at this point.
I did this quest 3 weeks ago, But for some reason, dialogue only activated the dialogue today...
Once again fan theories are more interesting than reality, now that we know for sure what it is. Pretty boring.
Most of wow's lore these days (years) is '' ok, let's see what they do with this '' only to be hit by things like The Jailer and '' you're not prepared for things to come '' or other things basically amounting to '' just you wait guys, it's going to be epic ''. Meanwhile it's been 184 years. C'mon guys. Get to the punch line. Or A punch line. Stop just saying something is coming.Good news is it seems they're getting there. In The LAst TiTAn. They just had to make a trilogy to get there. But even then, I'm not sure they're not just baiting us again.
No... No, no, no, no, NO!Beledar is a NAARU! THIS IS LITERALLY RUINING THE BEST PART OF THIS EXPANSION BY SAYING THIS CRYSTAL THAT CLEARLY $%^&ING FELL FROM THE SKY WAS ALWAYS HERE? NOOOOOOOOOO!
I never trust lore speculation on this site because everything has been wildly misinterpreted going back 6+ years.
Wait wait wait wait wait…. So Anduin used power from the Worldsoul to revive Khadgar then, not the light.Pieces are falling into place. Xal’Atath is still 3 steps ahead of us it seems. She wants the Worldsoul, but Azeroth is waking up now and is able to resist her efforts to take it by force. The Worldsoul has already infused the Dragon Aspects with her power to serve as the protectors of the Emerald Dream and the planet as a whole. Azeroth would also be aware then that Khadgar is one of her most effective champions and protectors. Her essence may no longer be easy to take by force, but Azeroth would quite willingly use her power to heal Khadgar and ensure he sticks around.I don’t think Khadgar is a fake, or under a spell of some kind. Azeroth would probably be able to sense that and wouldn’t have intervened. What he IS now is weak, badly wounded… and vulnerable. He has the power of the Worldsoul in him now, but Xal did some major damage to him and obviously even the Worldsoul could only do so much.Khadgar is vulnerable. He is out of the fight for the time being. He may still be in Dornogal, but Xal’atath has quite intentionally drawn our attention towards the Nerubians to keep us busy… and now suddenly the goblins start feeling a pull that leads them to an island far out in the undersea with another Crystal. Xal’atath is almost certainly behind the Goblins and the Arathi in Hallowfall finding this place.While we are gone, Khadgar will be dangerously exposed. He has what Xal’Atath wants within him now, a portion of the Worldsoul’s essence, willingly given up by the Worldsoul itself to aid one of her finest protectors…And The Lord of Ravens will turn the key.
Huh... interesting. So Beledar/allegedly similar crystal material is basically a metamorphic/cooked version of Azerite? Fresh Azerite is notoriously unstable stuff, and this new material, while finicky, is less volatile. Very... "modern"-style, newly engineered weapons could make use of it for another war. I'll see you guys in Midnight/TLT, whatever one of those turns out to be BFA II.
