[Spoilers, for those who haven’t seen the Cinematic yet…please watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_IHQJy8feU]
Ok so we remember killing Ursoc in the Emerald Nightmare Raid. But we also killed Nythendra and Cenarius…who - like Ysera and Ursoc - were supposed to go to Ardenweald…and yet what is confusing is this…
-
After we killed Cenarius and the final boss Xavius, we returned to the Emerald Dream where Cenarius was back in his full might and Ursoc was also there as a spirit…so how come he was vanquished in Ardenweald?? so the concept of spirit and soul (anima) are different?
-
Ysera’s “spirit” also aided us against Xavius in the Emerald Dream and yet…her soul was being “nurtured” in Ardenweald, whereas Ursoc’s soul was allowed to be taken? Why?
-
How come Cenarius was “reborn” so fast compared to other Wild Gods? Is Cenarius different from the other Wild Gods/Loa?
I think blizzard story-tellers should explain THREE THINGS as far as this cinematic and the lore surrounding it is concerned:
- Is there a difference between spirit and soul (anima) in the WoW Universe (this can probably be a Chronicle retcon)?
- Why so much leniency towards Ysera as opposed to Ursoc and all other slumbering souls (possibly other wild gods) in Ardenweald - who were allowed to be destroyed?
- What is so unique about Cenarius?
If I - as an avid follower of lore - cannot get an explanation to this…I will be massively disappointed!!!
