I wonder if it’ll be addressed later. And if yes, then how. This kind of world-building is not what logically happens overnight, not when we have a spaceship in orbit that should at least be able to make a full map of what continent (or convenient cloud of mists) lies where. But sadly, we don’t know if the Army of the Light ever caught massive Holy signatures from somewhere in the Forbidden Sea.
Ten gold says it’s hidden from sight in some manner.
Shrouded in mists perhaps?

whenever there’s a global threat I always 
the next expansion when the locals of the new area never mention it. does zandalar or kul tiras seem to bear any scars from the legion’s invasion, for example? this is excluding azerite since it’s the gimmick of bfa.
i don’t see why they’d have completely ignored an apocalyptic threat, but it just doesn’t come up in bfa.

Since the expedition set off around 15 years before current day, that means it was sent off around the time of WotLK…which would put it shortly after the restoration of the Sunwell.
Did the elves of the Empire suffer during its destruction which lasted for around 5-6 years? They presumably did. Were they confused as heck when the suffering suddenly stopped? Is that part of why the expedition was arranged?
who knows…

So many continents that any old explorer with a ship could have found, reported back and created either a colonization effort in service of their faction/group. They’re not even far, just about a stone throw away from the main continents everyone already know about.
Gods do I hate the “spaceship in orbit”. Having stories on Azeroth and them introducing new places is a gift over Shadowlands, alternate timelines and SPAAACE.
If introducing new islands or continents requires a little bit of handwaving because it was previously just unmapped lands, I’m all for it. I’m happy to simply pretend that the seas are truly dangerous, going beyond exhaustion zone kills you, so travelling in those directions have miniscule chances of survival. Until now.

They added Vindikaar without giving a single thought on how such a convenient transport/survey tool would affect the rest of the world. Even without the ability to call in literal orbital strikes it’s just a product of an entirely different age, one that breaks the established balance with the first touch. Imo it should have stayed on Argus as the Army of the Light’s mobile base and the means to get to Azeroth and back, because like this it just gathers space dust every time it’s remembered.

I’m going to take a stab in the dark here and say that nobody considered this particular point.
Another take is that they perhaps found an alternative for their reliance on the Sunwell much earlier, perhaps another well in the Empire itself?
Actually confirmed lore that going east of EK, west of Kalimdor (and I assume north of Northrend, and south of Pandaria) has a high chance of you not surviving.
It should’ve been destroyed, alongside any Legion space ships.
You wanna head to to Argus as a draenei? Conjure a portal bye.
That what they say about the western storms be true, that monsters and magic make the ocean impossible to cross.

Ofcourse it’s an ingame book and those aren’t always 100% accurate, especially one written by a pirate, but still.

I’ll take the word of a pirate over the word of some draenei from space who says they saw the planet from ten thousand leagues away and there’s no other islands.

my headcanon is that the new continent actually looks identical to the current continents we have on this side of the world, so anyone observing from space would just assume they’re looking at EK, Kalimdor etc.
the titans made ours, realised it was going very badly and then started again on the other side the planet or vice versa
Presumably they manage without any particular source of magic to sustain them and just persist through mysterious and miscellaneous means, like the various pre-TBC high elves did.
Ctrl C, Ctrl V, invert tool horizontal, job done. Work smarter, not harder.
Except the elderly still died with the ‘various methods’ and I’d assume any long lived high elves still around would be getting on in years.
I guess we’ll find out in 2030

You think Blizzard remembers a plot point introduced in TFT?

Completed the Isle of Dorn storyline.
Baelgrim’s sacrifice made no sense in a world where there are so many ways to ignite the barrels from a distance. It looks especially stupid if the PC is a fire mage.

They’re pretty honest about robbing people.

Good news, Khadgar’s alive so we no longer have to put up with theories about him still being alive.
Bad news, Khadgar’s return is so abrupt that we will now have to put up with theories that he’s actually Xal’atath in disguise.
I just finished that storyline and came to post the same thing, just felt so profoundly dumb. The only thing I really felt was disappointment at yet another dumb “heroic” sacrifice. It felt like a waste of an Earthern character that was far cooler than the rest, imo.
The whole Rookery corruption also felt a bit ham-fisted to me, like if they were going to write them off anyway I’m not sure why they didn’t just start with the Stormriders as heavily depleted or something.
