We Were So WRONG! The END TIME Comes!

As we look forward to the Dragonflight expansion, it promises much in terms of a return to the ordinary, a return to Azeroth and her people playing a central role in storytelling. Looking forward as it were in the case of WoW Dragonflight we will actually be looking back, one of the oldest histories in World of Warcraft in fact will be revealed to us in this expansion.

Many players will now start to ask, what are the dangers in the Dragon Isles, is there anything in particular that we should be worried about? What if told you that one of our greatest failures will be the very thing that bites us in the ass! Far too often in World of Warcraft’s history have we faced World Ending events, dangers that seek to destroy not only the mortals that call Azeroth home but in some cases, like with Sargeras, seeking to destroy our very planet. Facing Death within the Shadowlands, life within the Evergrowth, on more than one occasion have we faced the burning legion and its insatiable hunger for destruction. The Titans and their Order may have been behind threats such as G’huun and were at one point in Ulduar threatening to delete all of us with a great re-origination. We have witnessed first-hand the atrocities of the Light and its impending danger to Azeroth. When we look for danger in the Dragon Isles, there really is no shortage, the only danger we can absolutely rule out is that of the Void.

The Old Gods are perhaps the oldest threat in the history of World of Warcraft. In Classic, it was an Old God that would become the very danger of that expansion, then again, in Wrath and once more, for a final time, in Battle for Azeroth. With the defeat of N’zoth, WoW players can finally close the book on the Old God threat and yes, while the Void Lords are still around, it would take decades if not more, for them to find a way to Azeroth. All things considered; I think we can safely rule out the Old Gods. Or can we?

In order to understand the mistakes, we’ve made, we need to go back. Back to the days of Deathwing and the Cataclysm. The actions of Deathwing will be a major driver of events within Dragonflight, much of the first story have already been confirmed, to deal with Wrathion seeking to undo the damage his father has inflicted upon the Black Dragonflight. In many ways the story of the Old Gods is the story of the Dragonflights.

If you want to know the exact history of the Dragonflights and why they were made as well as some juicy speculation as to their purpose and their future, click the link in the top right-hand corner NOW! Well not right now, first watch this video, then watch the other one.

For a quick overview, the Dragonflights were Proto Drakes, that assisted Tyr in his fight against Galakrond, after their victory, Tyr and the Keepers blessed the Proto Drakes and made them into the Dragons we know today. Their Purpose? To stop the Hour of Twilight as Aman’Thul envisioned. What is the Hour of Twilight I hear no one asking, well I shall tell you, you who did not ask because we need to pad the video time just a tad? The Hour of Twilight signals the victory of the Old Gods, when they have corrupted the Titan Soul of Azeroth and the moment they open the gates for their masters, the Void Lords.

If you remember, in Cataclysm we actually got to see the Hour of Twilight, during the End Time Dungeon we were living through the final moments of Azeroth, a desperate attempt to reverse the damage Deathwing had done. According to the Dungeon, Deathwing would be dead atop Wyrmrest Temple, Baine, so overcome with grief would enter a rage that makes it impossible for him to discern friend from foe. Jaina would view us, the mortals as agents of Deathwing and would try to stop us from actually grabbing the fragments to reach Nozdormu or Murozond if you wish to be pedantic. Sylvanas would also view us as the enemy and summon undead creatures to stop us. Finally, we have Tyrande, blinded by rage, in an endless night, with no way of seeing the light of Elune, Tyrande will seek to destroy any who enter her realm, perceiving them to be the enemy of Life and Elune.

The End Time dungeon was a look into a possible future of Azeroth, it was the moment that Aman’thul and the other Titans feared, in fact it was the very moment, that drove Sargeras to declare war on all life. The moment a Titan would fall to the Old God corruption and the Void Lords would be free to enter our realm. We stopped it though, by the end of the dungeon we defeated Murozond and stopped that timeline from becoming our Timeline. In many ways that Dungeon may actually be more important than all of the raids or dungeons of Cataclysm put together.

Did we stop it though? Yes, Deathwing wasn’t dead atop Wyrmrest Temple, Baine has not gone into any rage, in fact he seems to be chilling on the steps of Oribos. Jaina while yes, having a stint of craziness did not view all of us as agents of the Old Gods nor did she try and kill all of us. Sylvanas did not… Well, no! Sylvanas did try to kill all of us but at least with Tyrande, she was never in Dark… Oh WAIT!

The issue is, we have all been looking at the End Times WRONG! We applied literal meaning to the End Times rather than viewing its events in a figurative manner. Most will likely say, Deathwing did not die atop Wyrmrest Spire and therefor the part where we see Deathwing lie dead is clearly a timeline we prevented. Well, when we start to look at it not as a literal event but rather as a prophecy of what is to come, then we can say, Deathwing’s body lying atop Wyrmrest Spire means his death will also be the death of the Dragons, since Wyrmrest Spire was and remains the seat of power for all Dragonflights, at least until the Dragon Isles are reopened. His lifeless body signifying the fall of the Dragons. Back in Cataclysm if you remember, in order to bring Deathwing low and give the mortals a fighting chance in taking him down, the Dragonflights poured all their power into the Dragon Soul, the Dragon Soul along with all of their power being now fully depleted.

We then also have Baine, Jaina, Sylvanas and Tyrande. From a literal standpoint it really is only the encounters with Tyrande and Sylvanas that makes any sense. What happens though when we look at it through the lens of prophecy? Well with both Jaina and Sylvanas we the player is viewed as a servant of the enemy. Those who were once considered allies or even friends are now viewed as attackers and rivals. This did come to pass, as much as you may not have agreed with Sylvanas, in her mind, we were the ones in the wrong. She did believe that her actions would ultimately serve the greater good. Cast your mind back to the fight with Sylvanas, during the encounter Sylvanas summons undead creatures to kill the player, this is a skill Sylvanas has never had. From a prophetic standpoint we could say she made a deal with the leader of the undead. Someone who could summon undead creatures, even perhaps someone who made the Lich King.

Jaina and her misguided hatred of the Horde almost saw her drown the whole of Orgrimmar in a fit of rage. In fact, throughout much of Battle for Azeroth Jaina wholly believed that the only way to stop the Horde was their complete annihilation. Regardless of the fact that she had many friends, including Thrall and Baine within the Horde at the time.

During Tyrande’s encounter we see the Priestess of Elune completely shrouded in Darkness, so much so that she perceives us as a threat to be eliminated. Does this not scream of the Night Warrior, the Darkness, the bloodlust, Tyrande almost killed her own daughter while under the influence of Elune’s power.

This leaves the final 2 prophecies to be fulfilled. That of Baine and his rage and then the ultimate transformation of Nozdormu into Murozond and us ultimately defeating him.

In Battle for Azeroth we see a frustrated Baine, a leader helpless to stop what he perceives as yet another death to the Horde. We see his frustrations with Sylvanas and her leadership style grow, during the Fall of Lordaeron we see him challenging Sylvanas after leaving Saurfang to die, as he walks away his anger and frustration is almost palpable. Then in Shadowlands we actually almost see a defeated Baine, surrendering himself to the steps of Oribos, what if this wasn’t the result of cut content but rather on purpose, the calm before the inevitable storm.

Murozond is next, before we jump into this though lets quickly discuss how Nozdormu will become Murozond. It is said that Nozdormu have already seen the moment of his death and that when the moment arrives Nozdormu instead of accepting will actively avoid it and it is in this moment that he will complete his journey from noble Dragon Aspect of time to the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight. If we were to look at this literally, then since Nozdormu isn’t Murozond and since we already defeated Deathwing, clearly this prophecy is wrong but if we take a more figurative approach, one could argue that in order for Nozdormu to become Murozond, all other prophecies must first be fulfilled.

This means, that if Baine were to fall into rage, we may finally see the End Times play itself out. What could lead to this, well most of the seeds have already been planted, twice now have Baine seen a leader of the Horde, almost rip the Horde apart, the previous Warchief Garrosh Hellscream killed his father and ultimately opted to use the Void as a weapon to subjugate all mortal life on Azeroth. Sylvanas Windrunner ripped open the heavens of Azeroth and brought the world face to face with its own Annihilation. During this Baine was captured, tortured, and ultimately displayed as helpless to stop it. When you put all of these things together, you have the perfect rage delivery system, all you need now is match.

This match could really be anything but during Legion, when Ebonhorn visited Thunderbluff the Void presence reacted very violently towards Ebonhorn. So, what if Wrathion, before becoming the Black Dragon Aspect decided to NUKE Thunderbluff to ensure that no Void corruption can do to him what happened to his father? Of course, to this we can only speculate. Ultimately, I believe that any loss, no matter how small will lead to Baine losing his mind. He has already lost so much that the smallest spark can ignite a wildfire within his heart.

Before you discount the Old God threat, before you allow yourself to believe that we have defeated the Old Gods and that they are no longer a threat, consider this

"That is not dead, which does eternal lie and in strange Aeons even Death may die”

To make matters even worse we still have the Xal’atath angle, but this would require a video in itself. The crux of the matter is this, the Old Gods are patient, they plan for every outcome and see a thousand truths, do we really believe they did not plan for their Deaths?
