I think we’re gonna get Tapir people… With a faux-like Indian accent.
Damn, you’re right.
Uh… catpeople, but not cute/hot obvious FF14 ripoffs but rather crinkly sphynxes. Sikh aesthetics, but italian accents by way of which they make funny da vinci style contraptions including a fuctioning aerial screw flying machine.

In the War of the Scaleborn book, a location in Northrend is revealed called the Harrowsdeep. It was Iridikron’s lair after he became an Incarnate. I always speculated that we’d go underground and meet the Nerubians again due to in game evidence and speculation, especially some of N’Zoth’s whispers from DF. The whisper “You will follow him to the deep places. The dark waters will flow in his wake” is one of the two I focused on. Perhaps we follow Iridikron to his old stomping grounds, and his return causes water corrupted by Yogg-Saron’s influence to get inside? I won’t be surprised if the lair was long since taken as a part of the Nerubian Empire long after Iridikron was captured.

I don’t like putting stock in Old God whispers.
they are artificial red herrings, they say some vague random stuff and players over-analyze future content with a bias, thinking it was foreshadowed.
Its no different than tricks fortune tellers use to make you think they can actually predict anything.
for instance:
Her dreams sing beneath the surface. Our dreams. Our song.
That could refer to Raszageth who slept in a vault.
but it could just as likely be something else we haven’t seen yet or another boss in the past like Sintharia, or one of the earth elemental lords.

The old god whispers are mumbo jumbo that are brought up again when it conveniently fits the plot. The circle of stars was a dumb room in the nazjatar raid.

Plus there is plenty of falsehoods in what they say.
They are after all Lovecraftian creatures of madness, who corrupt you by spinning false narratives or patrial truths.
Case in point, They told Deathwing the Night Elves would destroy the world.
They didn’t, they tore the land to pieces and if you wanna stretch their meaning a little, sure I guess they did destroy part of the world, but the planet stands.

Old Gods are unreliable narrators.

Remember when the Old Gods were timeless beings that were kept deep beneath the earth like forgotten relics of an ancient time that we didn’t know anything about?
Pepperidge farms remembers.

Worse part is, one could say the Sundering happened because Old God-influenced Neltharion destroyed alot of night elves and dragons, weakening them against an infinite demonic armt even more.

Remember when they were the counterparts to the Titans, and Titans walked the surface of Azeroth at one point?
Good ol’ times.
I am still waiting for one of them to return
unless that nonsense about being outside the cycle of death was also just a lie
Also lets not forget the little side story about an old god in Outland, we stopped its worship or summoning or whatever, but we didn’t kill it.
Technically they are as they go to the Void realm after death and not the shadowlands.
So they are outside of the mortal Cycle of Death 
As far as we know right now their bodies are essentially just bloated mass whilst their “souls” recover in the Void, so they’ll probably return at some point (sadly). But I would also have to wonder if this goes for N’zoth given that he wasn’t simply beaten up in his physical form, but spiritually obliterated in his own realm which should (if warcraft has any consistency left) mean he’s actually gone for good.
Edit: People forget a lot that the Xal’atath dagger cinematic was only the start of that 2-part fight, and allowed us to fight N’zoth in carapace form and then N’zoth in actual form later on. Xal’atath had no part to play beyond that and N’zoth was still very much around when we were fighting him and not hiding in a dagger.

I’ll be honest there is no way I can spin his death in a way that doesn’t reflect bad on the lore, titans and everything we knew about them.
If killing them in their own realm was all it took, then why did the titans realize it was a mistake to kill them at all after the first one.
surely they would know that its safe to kill them in their own realm and unlike the keepers they didn’t seem to have any difficulty killing y’shaarj.
If killing them in their own realm does nothing, that deviates from what we know about killing other entities in their own realms.
In total it de-horrify them if N’zoth is dead dead.
but it messes up what we know if he isnt.

It’s all if we pretend that a place that isn’t entirely real is suddenly real enough. With how lame Ny’alotha end cinematic was and how it was descripted as an idea as much as a real thing, it could easily have been a hella cool VR cartoon with cultists, K’thir and worse to merrily kill for the sweet corrupt loot. Especially since we have never seen what happened to the knife after Wrathion sliced the carapace.
They Girlboss (Xalatath)
They Gaslight (N’zoth)
They Genocide (all of them)

Oh cool, we’re getting a dragonflight expansion?
That’s right. No longer will we need to ask the question “If Dragonflight was so good, where’s Dragonflight 2?”
