PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 3)

Oh this is how it links to The War Within then. Excited now!

Hopefully that means we get some Haranir involvement too.

It was mentioned during yesterday’s livestream that the Haranir will be involved.

Oh, goodie!

At this point we can rather ask where there aren’t Titan ruins :sweat_smile:

Still cool tho!

I was thinking that these Titan ruins could be connected to the facility below Nazjatar, actually. That would make this Black Blood specifically N’Zoth’s and could lead us into new Visions of N’Zoth in 11.1.5.

70% of Azeroth’s planetary mass is just Titan ruins. The planet used to be the size of the moon before the pantheon found it.

I’d wager on Ahn’Qiraj. It’s closer than Nazjatar, and the nerubian mutations/hivemind enforcement seem more like what C’Thun did than N’Zoth.

Kezan is near the Maelstrom, though. But I definitely think the Black Blood we encounter on Khaz Algar to be C’Thun’s. I imagine this is the Black Blood of an other Old God entirely.

It could be any or all of them really. We are deep underground and the Coreway was revealed to be leading to the World Core, which the Old Gods were messing with by the time the Titans showed up.
It could even be Void goo the Titans excised from the World Soul, which has been spilling out and contaminating everything since the planet got stabbed.

Food for interesting thought, gaze your eyes upon this:

A Golden Constellar tending to a world (seemingly one with a Worldsoul) who cares for a nurtures it. She’s noted as being a type of Constellar who protect and intervene on the Titan’s behalf if planets are threatened by extraplanar problems. Food for possible thought on the direction TLT might take.

Legendary ¡ Minion ¡ The Great Dark Beyond ¡ Lifesteal After a hero takes damage, they become Immune for the rest of the turn.

Smh and people will still try and call the Titans “bad” and “evil”.

Aside from Elune, the Titans are probably the best thing that ever happened to Azeroth :weary:

I mean the issue is that it’s just kind of a hard to tell story for them at this point, by this time almost all playable races we know of are either direct or indirect Titanforged/Titanblessed races. You’d be essentially branding the “Creators” of Warcraft IC as “evil” and thus the playable races as well to a degree as many interpret the Titans as Saints/Gods/Makers/Beings of Reverence. It’s hard to do.

The more interesting thing I think is that Lumia is another representation of that Light-Arcane-Life link the Titans have, and her role is a more nurturing and caring one, an extradimensional protector essentially. It’s another element of that whole Order vs Chaos dichotonomy (which has its roots in IRL philosophies as well as mainstream media like Warhammer which Metzen took much inspiration from).

I mean, why did that rando planet get the nurture Constellar and Azeroth got the wipe out all life Constellar?

Sounds like another one of the damn Titan’s ‘experiments’ to see which one worked better - damn the mortals, as long as they get their scientific paper written…

Exactly. Titans aren’t evil as they are, but their carelessness for those beneath them, be it separate people or entire species, is what makes them and their constructs look like soulless, abhorrent automatons. Damn, they decide the fates of worlds on a whim. Even though their logic proves flawed far too often. For mundane people it hardly matters who comes from beyond the stars or deep underground to kill them, only that it happens.

I mean, do you care for every ant on the world too?

Neither do the Titans, except this time we’re the ants.

The funniest thing they could do is that we boot it up one day and the context changes because it turns out “reoriginate all life” at that point meant “make void guys go boom” because the only thing the Titans were dealing with was the Void at that point in time. Over time however this language has changed and now mortals that never existed inside the parameters of its construction are sweating bullets at “reorigination”.

We even have Watchers and Keepers whose jobs are to make sure the origination process goes smoothly and that life survives and outlives it and grows afterwards once again.

However the Lei-Shen situation also kind of stands in the way of this. But he also…survived it…kind of? I mean he wasn’t disintegrated he just got forcefully disconnected from the server.

I’m not sure ‘survives’ is the right word here.

Although designed to reduce Azeroth to its base elements, the reordering system inside the Halls of Origination also creates new life. To that end, the construct Ammunae regulates the natural energies coursing through the facility to ensure that life will exist on a reforged Azeroth.

It sounds like they wipe out everything and then reseed new things so the planet isn’t left as a barren wasteland. That’s a good thing, on a grand scale!

Less great if you’re on the ‘wiped out’ side of the equation.

I won’t tolerate filthy fencesitters.

You’re either with the giant golden chiselled human god guys or you’re with the freaky-deaky 8-tentacled monstrosities beyond comprehension Elenthas!

Remember: the Titans give you peak architecture (fantasy greco-roman).

As a gnome, I am with the god guys.

And even that, or rather how to do it, it seems they didn’t quite agree on as a Pantheon.

Embrace your elven legacy, Meron. We are the gods now.
