It all depends I suppose. I mean, observing quickly:

Old God underneath Northrend.
Old God dead in Darkshore.
Old God underneath Silithus
Old God somewhere in Tirisfal.
Old God also connected to the Maelstrom


On top of this, let's look at Titan Vaults.

One in Northrend (Ulduar)
One in Tanaris (Uldum)
One in Badlands (Uldaman)
Vault in Desolace (Terramok)
Vault in Bael Modan

Well of Eternity at the center. Would this form a sort of star? And do the positions of the Old Gods correlate? Somewhat?

I get the sense, that there could be constructs within the Titan dungeons that might help keep the Old Gods chained. I'm not exactly sure what the mechanisms are for them being imprisoned, and exactly just how far their powers extend.

Additionally, there's the question of the timeline. When the vaults were built, what they were used for in their entirety, and then on top of that, when the Old Gods arrived, and how things went down after that. It's quite possible that Ulduar has been invaded by the Old God forces as well.

We've already used Ragnaros in MC, clearly that idea is no longer on the table.

Don't forget Ahn'Qiraj is clearly Egyptian-influenced, though. (Curious how there's nothing to do with Ra or Aten or anything Sun-related, though).

Also the entire Naga/Queen Azshara concept are heavily Hindu/Indian-influenced. (I am still waiting for Garudas =p). Actually, upon further reflection, so are the Shivarra/Shivan.

Random mythology comment: The Shivarra/Shivan, though named after Shiva are modelled after Kali. Kali is also the consort of Shiva.

Queen Azshara seems to be modeled after Shiva; in so far as she appears to take the pose of Shiva doing the cosmetic dance.

That is Ragnaros, I am talking about Ragnarok.

Interestingly, although the Titans are driven by Greek Mythology, the two types of Titans they have in WoW Lore are Norse based - Aesir (platinum), Vanir (bronze). As a result, its good to know of another event in Norse Mythology, the Esir-Vanir War:

Æsir-Vanir War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So, by slowly letting us know more and more about the Titan Lore, Blizzard maybe going in a direction of a factional war between the Titans ultimately benefitting Sargeras.

Oh wow.... that just made things a whole lot more interesting. PvP to enter PvE eh? Intriguing.

That will never, ever go live. I can't imagine what they're trying to do.

Until we know what's behind that portal, it will be difficult to even attempt to guess at Blizzard's intentions. However, I am very excited by the prospect. At the least this should spur some excitement in Wintergrasp PvP, and it could give battles much more meaning.

Okay, a one-shot.. that is interesting, I suppose.

On the subject of betrayals and things involving major lore characters:

Quest - A Life Without Regret

What are those Nathrezim up to this time? Who is Putress? And the first quest in that line seems to spell trouble for

And if you look through the other quests that've appeared since this last Beta build, things look ... tense between the Horde and the Alliance. There are multiple quests in Icecrown that involve killing enemy faction players. To me, it looks like they're building on the notion that the crusade against Arthas is corrupting the players and the NPCs involved, threatening the whole world with chaos. It's a nice touch to make things darker.

It looks to me like Blizzard is kicking off WotLK by having Varimathras revolt, Orgrimmar flattened by troops from the Lich King, and (most shocking) killing off Thrall. This will piss off a lot of people once the WoW forum populace reads that quest.

It also implies that Sylvanas is still with the Horde. A few pages back in this thread, people were speculating that Sylvanas would revolt, but if Thrall is telling Horde players to go to the Undercity to speak with Vol'jin, then perhaps Sylvanas is offering shelter for orcs and troll that have been kicked out of their home city.

Thrall doesn't actually seem to die, he's just saying he wants to thought of as a good Warchief when he eventually dies. Although I have to admit they could've worded that quest better, at first glance a lot of people are going to think Thrall kicked the bucket.

If Sylvanas is still there she won't be in control of the entire city, if that. Note that the last quest in the chain is called "The Battle For The Undercity", which seems to imply it's been taken over, most likely by Varimathras' buddies.
