Until i know who’s hand was on the Liadrins shoulder in the cinematic.
It was me
Your paws are a little small for that.
Thats not what she said
Does she…exist?
It was Turalyon with the Army of Light.
You can go ahead and preorder now.
If it was - I would. But i need some kind of confirmation
I am quite sure those Knights are Arathi. They are all humanoid in size and shape. So that eliminates any chance of it being the Alliance. Since Liadrin did spend some time in Hallowfall and spoke to her “cousins” there, you can be damn sure she was praying to both the Light and perhaps the Sacred Flame. And the Arathi Empire heard that call and answered.
It would make sense also from the build-up lore. The Arathi of Hallowfall were introduced. The Haronir were introduced. Both didn’t had complete conclusions, while the Arathi of Hallowfall were a major focus point of the TWW base campaign story. And both are concluded/further elaborated in the upcoming expansion. Also Chris Metzen said he did partially rework TWW and follow-up content into a Saga, so it is all connected as well.
So yes, everything so far points at the Arathi from the mysterious Continent. One, that I may remind you, has both knowledge of the “Old Homelands”, expertise in finding the Light AND also Mages that can teleport.
Remember, the Kirin Tor did teleport Dalaran to Khaz Algar with little to no knowledge where that would even be.

Arthas,
Turalyon,
Anduin
or any lore wise paladin.
its blizzard they can bring people back from the dead if they want to.
- or maybe its just a magical glove from Khadgar cus he is a cripple now ?
…ANYTHING GOES
Pre-ordering is stupid in general.
Pre order but will spend 3 days building a house
is it worth it ?
Tbh i have no idea. would be efficient doing the house and be ready to play on release
There was some compelling arguements made that they are avatars of ancient kings
you know that shiny angel knight form some paladins can briefly transform into.
It is, but on the other hand, I know I am going to buy it regardless and play it regardless so I might as well get some extra bits with it anyway.
Mind you I can only make that excuse for WoW because I am addicted and will play this dumb game until I or the game goes offline.
that is true in most cases, but i feel for this expansion
the only benefit would be to start on your house 3 days earlier
lets face it, thats all you can do with early access besides leveling
im tempted myself, but i dont know if i can justify it
It was Keyser Soze!
I pay my sub 12months at a time.
I don’t care for houses and I am not going to buy the expansive pre-order anyway so I won’t get 3 days early.
I am either going to buy the cheap or middle one.
Then I heard you can somtimes pick up the expensive one on sale some time after launch if you want the extra goodies that comes with it.
Uther brought back from shadowlands once again.
It’s a cool speculation, but it’s probably just a completely random soldier who was just there to let her know she shouldn’t kneel. If it were a major character we know, they’d probably appear right next to Liadrin in the trailer to further hype things up. But yeah, they just let you know someone was called in to help, and the blood elves aren’t alone in this war. Yuppi!
Well yeah… I forgot that the Sunwell is in fact a portal that could “call” beings in time of need… like Kil’jaeden or the army of the light (or arathi)….
… I bet you can summon the void army if … let’s say a certain void elf would “accidentally” drops a dark heart in it
3 possibilities ranked by chance:
Army of the light plus Turalion or Arathor
The Arathi Empire
and
Anduin which is the least likely.
