We know that the Arathi worship the Sacred Flame. However, this is not just pure Light: It’s a mix between Arcane Energy and Light. What is the other huge mix of Arcane and Light we have? The Sunwell. I think this is where the Threads of the Arathi and the Midnight expansion are gonna come together. It seems like the Sunwell uses the same energy as the Sacred Flame, if someone didn’t catch on. Thoughts?
This is where I got this from: https://youtu.be/MzWvvw09Cjs?si=ce8KfoJ8bdCpVht4
Maybe we can burn Xal’atath in it. Just need to lure her into the Sunwell, make a ring of salt around the edge and get a few priests to chant an exorcism. She is still possessing Inanis’ body after all, so maybe it would work… or reimprison her in a repurposed fel crystal if it doesn’t completely banish her.
But you’re right, there is definitely a connection between the two and I do expect some Arathi to show up in Quel’Thalas for Midnight revolving around the fate of the Sunwell. Whether or not they will try to help the Blood Elves protect it or seize the magical font for themselves to further their own designs is still up for debate. We know little of their intentions outside of what we’ve been told or have been allowed to see in the Hallowfall expedition, and empires in fiction and history usually have expansionistic tendencies. Especially theological ones.
Also, like the Platinum WoW video showed, there are definitely striking similarities with the Scarlet crusade amongst their more zealous elements, which you see quite clearly in the Priory of the Sacred Flame dungeon and related quests.
The last time something dark was thrown into the Sunwell, it consumed the Sunwell energies and emerged as a powerful malevolent being.
So I’d be very cautious about the idea of throwing Xal’atath into Sunwell =)
Are you talking about Arthas resurrecting Kel’thuzad?
You are correct.
And here I thought we were talking about M’uru. A symmetrical alien that pollutes the well and deviates it from it’s natural Arcane nature, adding cursed Light to it.
Just a speculation of Liadrin. We don’t have any facts right now.
