IMO proves are the things that we can retroactively agree on once the devs make decisions. Example:
one of topics of discussions of the community is different “whispers” in the game. Usually it only focuses on just the old_gods™, although it’s only about a quarter of such “foreshadowing” things. Among them there is such line.
Il’gynoth (Emerald Nightmare):
Five keys to open our way. Five torches to light our path.
And guess what do we have.
Sylvanas:
This blade is more than a mere dagger. It is a torch that shall light our path forward.
Xal’atath:
Hear me, God of the Deep! I have brought you the Opener… the Bringer of Truths… the Torch That Lights the Way!
So, we have at the same time the blade itself being “the torch”, and the player character. At the same time. Which will the devs pick? I have no idea. They have options. So much for seeking the confirmations.
I did not claim that it was Yogg-Saron. I said that there might be a connection not yet revealed. For example, there is an easter egg in the ruins of the Capital City. If you set the ambient sound to the max on the top level of Undercity you can hear the bell sound.
And guess what, kyrians use their “bells” (vespers) to open the portals from Shadowlands to other realms in the Great Dark (aka physical universe in WoW / “reality”). The devs can opt to never touch this and just leave this easter egg as an easter egg. Or there might be a closer connection from the place which was chosen by Menethils ages ago to the reams of Death.
And if the devs make the decision to do so, all the set ups are there, from Kathra’natir messing with the Lordamere lake, to uknown plagues that have it’s traces preserved nearby, and similarity to another place where the Veil is weak (Ice Crown), etc.
But once again, even though there is more than enough hints that could be found from Classic quests of Apothecaty Society till the current Bastion story, so that this turn of the story would not be a sudden one, it does not mean the devs will want to go in this direction.
Don’t think so. But old_gods™ could foresee the future, so there could be hints (aka the devs might make a choice to place in the future stories some references to it) related to the future events.
