When we see the cutscene when the thrusts his sword into Azeroth. Notice that his flame is red/golden (Which can be interpreted as holy flame). He does not have any green flame/colour which is fel.
What if he found out something about either the Titans had been corrupted by the void or something. Or that Azeroth is the most powerful void Titan and already have been corrupted and the Pantheon refusing to take action on it.
He felt forced to make the burning legion to try and destroy Azeroth. Because of the Pantheons refusal to do so.
And to the tip of the sword (The light Crystal), What if the sword was a vessel for the Arathi holy guys which he collected somewhere in time and put into his sword.
We havent seen anything of where his sword was aimed or why. And a light crystal shaped like the tip of a sword seemingly sticking out of the cavern roof like that out of nowhere.
What if he inserted the sword to transport the Arathi guys into the underground as a final defense against the void.
Maybe Sargeras knows something we dont.
Doesnât seem like it. Except if they are âkiddingâ with us again, I guess?
Tina Wang: Yeah. Something that Iâve seen online is that some people think the crystal and the crystalline ceiling is the sword - and itâs not. I just want to clarify that. Anne Stickney: Different thing.
No itâs not. And here is the reason why. 1 it changes from light to void.
2. It was there about the time Arathi tribe ended up there which migrated there waaaay before Legion happened.
To my knowledge, the only thing that might flicker like a defective lightbulb sometimes is a Naaru when itâs about to change state. First to a darkened naaru and eventually a void god once it goes kaput. The crystal almost looks like one of their dimensional ships too.
If it is, itâs more likely the Arathi trapped down there have been draining it of itâs powers somehow like the blood elves did. Or itâs been willingly using itâs energy to keep them safe by making some sort of sanctuary for them and protecting them against the old god/nerubian hordes. Maybe both and itâs accelerated this process.
Saving the naaru or having it fall would sort of help setup the saga for the next xpac Midnight too given the âlightâ and âvoidâ overtones.
pretty sure its a giant naaru just ask the space goats theyâd know though if it keeps switching from light to void it must be dying and regenerating while being unable to move
Looks like just another invention they added to the lore outta nowhere. Either that or itâs the same stuff that Ashbringer was made of. But Iâm expecting them to pull something new out of their behinds.
âThat is the Radiant Crystal, it fell to Azeroth many, many millennia ago, and has warded and shielded this place with its light ever since. Down here, it means life and light in the dark.â
âYes but what is it?â
âI just told you.â
âSounds like a Naarâu?â
âItâs the Radiant Crystalâ
âAshbringer?â
âNO! Itâs something cool and new, okay! Itâs only here, only now, and was never mentioned before and will never be mentioned again after.â
âAh⌠itâs like that mana crystal stuff from Legion, got it. Irrelevant.â
You know, I almost forgot ancient mana was a thing until you mentioned it.
Also, I really hope the narrative team can control themselves from inventing something completely new but the same for the sake of it. Just so they can leave thier mark irrespective of future repercussions on the lore.
Whatever the crystal is I just hope it makes canonical sense with everything else.
I hope thatâs not asking for too much. Is it?
Naaru stuff wouldnât really come from nowhere. The whole human religion was based on visions from Naaru and some Arathi following these visions to that light-crystal with a voidform seems pretty clear-cut for me. Now weâll have to see if itâs just a Naaru, a cluster of Naaru, something greater, or just a grand Naaru product, but thatâs just details,
just ask the space goats theyâd know though if it keeps switching from light to void it must be dying and regenerating while being unable to move
