Interesting bit on black dragonflight:

Wrathion states, “To my knowledge, I am the only black dragon who remains.” Thankfully, Wrathion is not omniscient, and he is simply ignorant of the dragons beyond the Dark Portal. Both the black dragons under his elder half-brother Sabellian and the Netherwing flight remain in Outland. There is also the possibility that some black dragons on Azeroth have managed to evade Wrathion’s detection as well.

Lots of great info. They confirmed that the great evil under Tirisfal Glade is not an Old God, which makes one wonder what the heck is it exactly? They also seemed to have brushed away Med’an by saying he went somewhere else and no one knows where

Here's a theory I heard regarding the Trisfal question. What if whatever drives people there is a Titan device? We have seen that happen at least twice now, with the Goblins in Tanaris and the Gnomes in Uldum, so it could be possible.

Somebody was theorizing tha other day that Tirisfal = Tyr's Fall.

We already have Tyr's hand in EPL, Tyr has been linked to helping the first humans survive after they were sent away by the Vrykul. Some kind of malfunctioning titan device sounds like a good fit for the whispers under tirisfal.

The Theramore scenario is an extreme disappointment. I mean I wasn't expecting it to perfectly emulate anything from the book, but....it lacks so much substance. Quests on the failed assault would have helped, scouting the advancing Horde army from Ratchet, ANYTHING more then what we experienced.

Blizzard basically stated if you want to know what happened in Theramore(and care) read Tides of War.

5.1 PTR patch notes have been listed and the patch datamined for goodies. Most interesting is the new Black Temple Scenario and the character development with Garrosh; especially in relation to his method of dealing with the Sha. Where the Pandaren try to avoid coming into conflict with the Sha, Garrosh advocates confronting ones Fears, Doubts directly.

For convenience:

The datamined Garrosh scenario seems to imply that Anduin dies. Wtf? That's pretty cold if that transpires. It would also pretty much launch Varion into ultra vengeance mode (which would tie into an escalating war). Jaina may also get pushed over the edge even more, considering her closeness to Anduin as well.

That would be a real shame if he does. From the books he's been shaping up to be a character that actually seems interesting.

The Garrosh soundfiles have a Finale 1 & 2, of which the second has Garrosh saying that 'at least the Human Prince is dead'. So it is not one hundred percent confirmed.

Small hidden piece of lore I found in Dreadwastes at Soggy's cabin. There is a worn bust of a night elf and the captain tells you it looks just like Mozu, the goddess of the sea. He states that when he was younger he fell into the sea and he saw an extremely beautiful woman who looked like her, but he was pulled from the sea by a sealion and his crew. If you keep doing quests, eventually you summon a kraken beast (plus those "brain sucking" squid things from the ocean dungeon). Seems like they may have plans for Azshara sooner then later.

MMO-C released some spoiled audio from 5.1 today and it's some pretty serious stuff.

They have been pushing the Anduin character too hard to just cheaply kill him off. He was a key character in the comics of early wrath, the shattering novel and if my understanding is correct in the jaina novel too. Anduin is being shaped into a main character and I hope they dont just use him as a catalyst to the war.

Cybsled · 10/15/12, 7:53 AM

Some people have pointed out that the 5.2 Wraithion chapter will be titled "The Two Princes", so it seems to imply that even if Anduin dies, he may come back.

Tidia · 10/16/12, 2:15 AM

It seems very unlikely they would just kill Auduin off. Perhaps if there was a younger more likeable sibling, but there is not. What is more likely is some sort of shenanigans occurring, and Garrosh being convinced that Auduin dies. Wouldn't be surprised if we see some sort of Christlike motif happening with Auduin as well; but I feel that would be giving Blizzard to much credit.

The fact that there are two contradictory files makes me think one of them is an Alliance side failure state.
