So just went through wow head datamined stuff and voice lines. Apparently at the end of first patch sunwell will become darkwell and we will have to work together to cleanse it and turn it into a dawnwell. Calling upon other elves to sacrifice their relics to cleanse it.
Arcandor seed from nightborne, void shard from void elves, annastarians crown from high elves and ofc moon well water from night elves.
I know it might irk some people and I get that to a degree normally I wouldn’t have much issues with this being more neutral if anything yet one of the lines say from rommath: it will be Hard to live without the powers of sunwell.
I really REALLY hope that they won’t go with: oh sindorei are no longer tied to this new well lol.
Just adding for people who mentioned shandris’s comment about sunwell being trouble.
Yes while nelfs still have a font of power and a world tree…btw how many world trees did nelfs get corrupted and how many times well of eternity was almost utilised/destroyed?
Teldrassil almost fell, Vordrassil was the reason behind the nightmare, Shaladrassil…
Then you have the Nordrassil which was almost taken by Archinonde…then we have the well of eternity that was assaulted during legions time. (4thmlegion invasion)
Not to mention the fact that whenever nelfs want to re flora a region they gaveaway to a different catastrophe. War of the shifting sands, nightmare in barrens etc.
Last but not least Amirdrassil yet another world tree that almost fell apart and canonically if it burnt all of azeroth would burn because it’s so strong and awesome
Okay maybe this is last…also…while they do not find sustenance from the new well of eternity highborne only shrunk to high elves after being so far out from their new well of eternity sooo
Shandris has no right to say that xD
Also why do we add a void shard to a darkwell during cleansing the whole perfect balance between light and void feels weird. If both are interchangeable and if even having a bit of void around sunwell was not a good idea how is it a good idea to have part of the well be VOID permenantly. I get magic is a tool now and none are uhhh inheritly evil but void is far more invasive than say arcane or nature.
