“This video is brought to you in collaboration
with WoWhead.com” duh duh duh duh duhduhduh duh duh Hello everyone! Antorus the Burning Throne
opened up last week and Preach was kind enough to invite me once again so a big thank you
to him and the entire raid time for letting me grab these recordings. Last time we ended
up with finishing the Crown of the triumvirate with Velen taking the eye of prophecy from
his staff to make the crown whole once more. “Now we take the fight to the Burning Throne
itself. Ready yourselves. Antorus awaits!” With the power of the crown added to our arsenal,
we can use Light’s judgement upon the walls of the accursed citadel and storm the seat
of power of the Legion. We must do the impossible, end them once and for all. The titan spirit
of Argus has been taken captive, tormented, used to fuel the might of the Legion. By striking
it down, ending its pain and suffering we can defeat the Legion and redeem the soul
of this world. “We;ve breached the wall! Lightforged, secure
this position!” “The Vindicaar will draw all the fire we
can, Turalyon, but we cannot hold out for long. You must disable their defenses!”
“We will not fail you, Prophet! Champions, we’ll keep these winged beasts occupied
while you clear a path.” At the core of Argus lies Antorus, the Burning
Throne. From this seat of power, Sargeras drives his burning crusade to ravage the cosmos.
We’re taking the battle to the enemy alright with our forces taking on the demons at all
sides, but of course this area is well protected and will not let us go about without a fight.
At the Edge if Discord we bring down a Garothi Annihilator which draws the attention of his
much larger counter part, Garothi Worldbreaker. “Enemy contact. Deploying arsenal.”
“We’re gaining ground! Press the attack!” “Threat terminated.”
“Lightforged, fall back! Champions, bring that monstrosity down!” He’s a bit too much for the army of the
light to take on so Turalyon falls back and lets the heroes of azeroth take the lead.
Constructed deep within the core of Argus and outfitted with an arsenal capable of decimating
worlds, this war machine has been designed for a single purpose: to bring the mortals’
invasion to its knees. It’s a fel reaver, unlike any we’ve ever seen with massive
cannons trying to blow us up. We disable his weapons and terminate the worldbreaker. “Termination I I I I IIiiiminent” “Turalyon i’ve started my assault on the
northern front. I’ll keep their forces occupied so you can hit the priority targets.”
“Our forces are moving towards Legion high command. Buy us all the time you can, Alleria.” Miniature legion ships bombard the bridge
that we try to cross. Troops are giving everything to this war and we must honor their sacrifice.
Up ahead we find the Den of the Devourers where “Sargeras has left us a few of his favorite
pets to play with. Remove these abominations from the battlefield.” These abominations, F’harg and Shatug are
infused with fire and shadow. The Felhounds of Sargeras are his prized pets. Bred for
carnage, these hounds delight in eviscerating their master’s enemies. With the Army of
the Light and their allies advancing upon Antorus, the Legion unleashes these vicious
creatures onto the battlefield to put an end to the mortals’ invasion. Man do all these
fights in Antorus look pretty, they have some sick abilities to display but all the same,
the puppies go down. “That’s 2 demons down, but countless more
await the attention of your blade.” It’s really cool to see that step by step
the army of the Light moves further into antorus, bombarding demonic reinforcement as they poor
in. We take the transporter and turn into a ball of light towards the Gaze of the Legion. “I recognize the trappings of the generals
commanding the Legion’s forces. Before Sargeras took our world, these generals martialed our
armies and brought peace to Argus. They betrayed everything we stood for when they accepted
his bargain. There can be no redemption...only retribution.” Velen is not taking any prisoners as we jump
on the elevator and move up into a gorgeous room, the perfect spot for the Legion’s
gaze. Here we find the Antoran high command, Admiral Svirax, Chief Engineer Ishkar and
General Erodus. “This is one engagement you will not walk
away from.” Long ago in the golden age of eredar civilization,
a council was formed to oversee the defense of Argus and maintain peace. But after their
dark bargain was struck with Sargeras, these master tacticians used their military expertise
to help orchestrate a Burning Crusade that ravaged countless worlds. Now the full might
of the Legion’s army is theirs to command, and they wield this terrible power to annihilate
all who oppose the Dark Titan’s will. They have command pods in this room which they
use for the fight, but while 1 of them stays on the ground to directly face us, we can
jump into the pod and use its power to our advantage. Taking care of the high command
robs the Legion of their tacticians, but I imagine it also makes the sky a bit more safer
for the Vindicaar. Those that remember the first moment the army of the light showed
up and got shot out of the sky, that was done by Chief Engineer Ishkar. After taking care of them and closing down
the gaze of the legion, we take the elevator back down and move back to where we started. “Champions, there is a disturbance close
to your location the likes of which I haven’t felt since the opening of the dark portal.
If the Legion is using that hub to gather reinforcements, then it must be destroyed
before we are overwhelmed.” Across the bridge we take a portal into the
Halls of the Boundless Reach from which Portal Keeper Hasabel and her forces maintain the
nexus through which the Legion has unleashed its insidious armies upon countless worlds. “Every world in our path has fallen. Yours
is next.”
With portals that open to a myriad of strategic locations throughout the Great Dark beyond,
Hasabel is capable of bringing the might of the Legion’s arsenal to bear upon any who
oppose her. Unfortunately the way I imagined the fight
to go down from just the dungeon journal, teleporting to whole different worlds, that’s
not how the fight goes. Instead there are 3 platform up above, with Fire being our first
destination. “Witness the power to destroy worlds! Witness
Xoroth, a world of infernal heat and scorched bones!”
Vulcanar:“Your ashes will be blown across the cosmos!”
“Strike them down!” Xoroth might sound familiar to warlocks out
there as that’s the world where the infernal dreadsteeds and wrathsteeds come from. “My embers will never burn out...”
“The Legions forces throughout the cosmos...Gaze upon Rancora, a landscape of festering pools
and skittering death!” Lady Dacidion: “Come closer, heroes, so
I can watch the flesh drip from your bones!” Rancora is a newly named planet, but since
Lady Dacidion is a aranasi, one of those spider demons that might be their homeworld. “Ow to taste ...your...liquefying flesh.” “Nathreza...once a world of magic and knowledge,
now a twisted landscape from which none escape.” Lord Eilgar: “Your minds are so easily clouded.” Nathreza, homeworld of the nathrezim, a planet
invaded by Illidan and his demon hunters during the novel Illidan. The reason why it’s not
a twisted landscape from which none escape is possibly because Illidan made sure to cause
so much damage that it suffered a same fate as Draenor turning into Outland. Not a great
time for the dreadlords and although lord Eilgar tries to keep us in the shadow, the
fires brought over from Xoroth allow us to see clearly and not only defeat lord Eilgar,
but we also take out Hasabel. “The portals...must...endure...”
“Without their portals, the Legion is cut off from reinforcements. Now is the time to
press our attack!” Leading into the opening of Antorus, we were
send over to talk with Magni Bronzebeard who’s been busy trying to speak with the titan spirit
of Argus. His last vision foretold of Aggramar’s coming which came true and now the soul is
calling to him again. “He’s frantic, desperate...and sad, so
bloody sad. It breaks my heart.” Cinematic: “The hour of rebirth draws near.
Are the souls prepared?” “Our kin still resist the true path, master.
But they will soon be broken.” Walks away slowly
“One still eludes us. Her essence is needed to ensure the victory of my crusade.”
“The Life-Binder will soon reveal herself. She will not escape me, master!”
“When my new pantheon rises, no power in the universe will stand against the Legion.” “Sargeras is building some kind of Dark
Pantheon! We gotta find Eonar’s spirit before Aggramar does!” Finding her spirit isn’t going to be easy,
but luckily Eonar is able to make contact herself. “This soul fragment calls to me again, but
something’s different this time. It’s not Argus speaking. It’s...another.” Cinematic: “I remember the awakening...how
life sprang forth all around us.” “I remember unity...until it was shattered
by betrayal. I remember fleeing...to keep him from his prize. The time for hiding is
over. Aid me...or everything ends.” “The lifebinder! Somehow, she’s the key
to Sargeras’s plan.” Our answer lies in the Legion’s own portal
network in the heart of Antorus where we find the speaker himself holding his ground against
the demons. “Champions! I heard a familair voice calling
so I fought my way inside this accursed place.” “Champions, hear me. The Legion has breached
my sanctuary and my defenses will soon be overrun. Stand with me now, lest Sargeras
claim his prize.” “It’s Eonar, the Life-Binder! This portal
leads to her sanctuary. Go. I’ll stay here and cover your backs!” We take the portal into Elunaria, the sanctum
where the spirit of Eonar has been hiding out, a sanctum now discovered and breached
by the Legion. We need to keep her safe from the waves of demons that try to assault her
spirit, killing the demons gives her the energy she needs to blow up the Paraxis and secure
her sanctum once more. Now as I run around like a headless chicken,
lets talk about the titans since from the chronicles we learned that the whole reason
why Sargeras formed the Burning Legion and began his burning crusade was because he found
out about the Void Lords. These dark entities wanted to corrupt a titan, pushed the old
gods into the universe and send them out to infect a slumbering titan spirit. The titans
tried to find more of their kind and wake them up, but Sargeras feared what a corrupted
titan would mean for the universe. In his mind it was better to wipe it all out and
start over rather than have the void lords consume it. Life had begun before, perhaps
after scouring the universe of its corruption, life would begin anew. The others didn’t
agree with his plans, figured there had to be something else they could do. They had
found a little planet called Azeroth, infected with the old gods but they’ve managed to
contain the corruption and give the titan spirit inside a chance. Despite their words,
Sargeras was unmoved and he struck Aggramar down, cleaving the titan in two. The rest
of the pantheon were outraged, a massive battle took place, but Sargeras with his fel fueld
might had the upper hand. Before he could strike the Pantheon down, Norgannon used his
powers to bend the energies of the universe to his will. He was able to protect their
spirits and launch them into the great dark, but sargeras thought that he had won the battle
and destroyed his former brothers and sister. He had also learned about azeroth and the
titan spirit inside. He didn’t know where it was but he was sure that in time he would
find it and destroy it before it would be corrupted by the void lords just like he would
with the rest of the universe. So Norgannon protected their spirits which traveled back
to Azeroth and entered the Keepers, created by the titans to help them bring order to
Azeroth. Entering the keepers bodies had quite an effect on the story, for example Lei- Shen
becoming the Thunderking but here we find their spirits in the hands of Sargeras, being
tortured for millenia and turned into a dark pantheon. I’ve searched and asked around,
but couldn’t find a source explaining this. Perhaps over time their spirits simply returned
to the cradle of creation, perhaps only part of their spirit was taken by Sargeras...
I couldn’t find a clear answer but all the same they are here and if the Legion gets
their hands on Eonar, we are doomed. Thankfully we’re able to hold off the waves of demons
as Eonar blows up the ship. “Victory is nigh, champions! Dispatch their
remaining forces. I will see to their vessel myself.”
Blows up ship “The tormented cries of the Pantheon ring
out from deep within the core of Argus.” “If Sargeras breaks them as he did Aggramar,
no power in this universe will stop him.” “Release them, champions, or your struggle
will be for naught.” Time to leave the sanctum of Eonar and move
back to the Vindicaar, a lightforged warframe is waiting to give us a little ride as our
forces discuss what to do next. “The Legion’s ranks are crumbling, but
they still outnumber us. My forces will keep them engaged here.”
“You will not be fighting alone, Turalyon. The demons will pay for every step....with
their blood.” “Sargeras seeks to corrupt the other titans!
If we don’t stop him, the Pantheon will be reborn in darkness. There is no time to
waste!” “Striking at the heart of the Legion is
futile until we take out their war machines. Unchecked, they would soon overwhelm us.”
“Agreed. We must cripple those infernal engines of destruction. Champions, use this
teleporter to board the Vindicaar. On to our next target!’ Alleria and Turalyon go off screen to hold
the ground, bit of a shame that we never saw her fight in Voidform or perhaps I simply
missed it. Either way we board the VIndicaar and fly out to the Exhaust where Imonar the
Soulhunter thinks he can stop us. “You’ll go no further mortal scum. There’s
a bounty on your heads, and I mean to collect.” “Think I’ll keep a few of your parts as
a trophy.” The infamous Imonar the Soulhunter serves
as the Legion’s bloodhound, capable of tracking prey across the cosmos. With a vast array
of gadgets and traps at his disposal, Imonar has yet to lose a bounty...and he certainly
doesn’t intend to sully his perfect record by failing to fulfill his latest contract.
A bounty hunter recruited to take us out with some really cool phase transitions, even has
some miniature spaceships to shoot at us, but of course, we ruin his perfect record. “I regret...taking...this job!” Cinematic: Charge them lasers, fire them lasers,
aaaaaaand we have a door. Sweet. That laser sure is handy as we enter the Hallowed
Felworks, the place where they create their machines of war, the engines of destruction
we have to cripple. Kin’Garoth engineer of the apocalypse:
“Good. Good! I was hoping you’d find your way here. I’m always in need of test subjects.
You should do nicely.” The design of every Legion war machine stems
from the depraved mind of Kin’garoth. Obsessed with crafting implements of death, Kin’garoth
infused his very body into the production machinery so he could more efficiently churn
out a never-ending supply of destruction. “Allow me to demonstrate my newest invention.” With an unending supply of fel reavers and
a mega beam of death, he tries to take us out but not even his brilliance is able to
stop us. The entire facility starts to crumble down upon his death so we jump back into the
Vindicaar and fly to the Burning Throne. “The Heart of antorus lies before us. The
power behind the Legion’s infinite army.” “So much agony here...so many voices. It’s
nearly overwhelming! But I can feel Eonar urging us forward.”
“At long last, the end is upon us. Press on, my friends.” We’re getting closer and closer to the Heart
of things, but first we run into an old friend...Varimathras. “Gaaaaah! Witches! You call that torment?
I have endured far worse!” “I tire of that worm’s babbling! Let me
scorch the flesh from his miserable bones!” “Ignore him, sister! Focus on your duty.
These souls are nearly ready to join Aggramar in the master’s service.”
“I feel those demons twisting the spirits of the titans! Forcing them to use their might
to serve the Legion!” “Should they fall to darkness, Sargeras
will have the power he needs to claim the final titan.”
“Azeroth!” Up above we have the Coven of Shivara tormenting
the titan spirits like they’ve tormenting their prisoner Varimathras. “Draw your blades, I will show you torment!”
“Look. The wretch struggles against the mortal intruders.”
‘Pathetic, let them all burn!” “Grah, damnable witches.” As one of the dreadlords overseeing the Legion’s
forces during the Third War, Varimathras failed to stop the rebellious Lich King. He submitted
to an ill-fated alliance with Sylvanas Windrunner, then made one-last bid for power before facing
a humiliating defeat. We saw this play out during Wrath of the Lich King where together
with apothecary Putress they took over the undercity and presumably tried to summon Sargeras. “You have failed me Varimathras”
“A thousand, thousand pardons master. I will deal with these intruders myself.” The alliance and the horde both went in to
put a stop to that and in payment for his blunders, Varimathras has been tortured by
the Coven of Shivarra. The vindictive sisters stripped away both flesh and sanity, leaving
only a singular desire to inflict suffering upon the mortals who cost him everything.
Keep in mind that time does not the work the same so deep in the twisting nether, who knows
how long the sisters have been playing with their toy. What is certain is that the dreadlord
did not have a good time here so let’s put him out of his misery. “Death...claims us...all”
“His fate was ours to decide. You will pay for your insolence, mortals!” The coven of shivarra have proven themselves
to be the most depraved and fanatical of all of Sargeras’ followers. He entrusted the
coven with the unholy task of twisting the minds of the fallen titans into an unstoppable
dark pantheon. Each sisters employs her own signature brand of torture, eliciting screams
which echo through the halls of Antorus. It is said that neither mortal nor demon can
refuse their whispers, but during the battle all they do is scream. Scream and inflict
torment upon the spirits of the titans forcing them to use their powers against us.
Tormented apparitions of the titans appear on the battlefield while the Shivarra, Noura,
Mother of Flames. Asara, Mother of Night. Diima, Mother of Gloom and on mythic Thu’raya,
Mother of the Cosmos are not without their own powers. All the same the coven is defeated
and the torment of the titans finally ends. “The souls of the pantheon are free, but
they endured so much suffering. Let me bide with them for a time. Offer a bit of comfort.”
“Remain here Magni. The rest of us will go on.”
“So close now to the end...” From the temple of anguish we move further
in to the very soul of this world where the titan Aggramar is waiting for us. “This may be the one place in the universe
sacred to the Legion. Demons would pluck out their eyes sooner than gaze upon it.”
“Who could ever imagine such a sacrifice?” “Mortals. I wasted millenia fighting to
spare you from corruption. Until at last my eyes were opened to the truth. You are the
corruption. We will save the universe by wiping all memory of you from existence.” Once upon a time, Aggramar was a lieutenant
of Sargeras. Together they stood against the Darkness of the Universe, but while Aggramar
held true to the pantheon’s vision, brought order to the planet of Draenor and Azeroth,
Sargeras had a different vision. Where as the spirits of the rest of the pantheon were
saved by Norgannon, Aggramar was struck down, nearly cleaved in two. What we see before
us now is not the actual titan Aggramar, that one would probably step on us like an ant.
This is like the Avatar of Sargeras, an avatar infused with the power of Aggramar’s soul
fully corrupted by Sargeras. “None can stand again Taeshalach! Fall,
frail mortal. “ Aggramar wields the might of Taeshalach, a
blade that was shattered when Aggramar confronted Sargeras. He soon found himself outmatched.
Like all titans, he was uniquely susceptible to fel magic. Sargeras’s ferocious assaults
shattered Aggramar’s defenses and sent him reeling in agony. In a final desperate counterattack,
Aggramar summoned all the power at his command and struck at Sargeras. Their two blades met,
igniting a furious explosion of fel and arcane power. When the torrent of warring energies
finally subsided, Sargeras and Aggramar saw that both of their weapons had been shattered.
This then lead to Aggramar retreating, gathering the rest of the pantheon and as you now know,
them losing the battle similar to how Aggramar loses to us. “It may be too late to stop him.”
“You did it! Aggramar’s essence is free! He can stand beside his brethren once more.”
“Our victories mean nothing. So long as Sargeras has the soul of Argus to fuel his
infinite army, Azeroth remains in grave peril.” “The titans can sever that connection...but
not here. They need to bring the soul of Argus to their place of power...the Seat of the
Pantheon.” “The very cradle of creation!”
“Their final act will harness the last of Argus’s power, to imprison Sargeras...once
and for all.” “Heroes, I can signal the titans to begin.
Once they start the ritual...there’s no turning back!” I’ll be diving further into this in just
a moment, but I’ve been asking around to see if I missed any voicelines or what not,
but apperantly this is the first time that they even mention taking on Sargeras and imprisoning
him. We can see the skybox right at the start with Azeroth and the cloud of destruction,
I wonder if we’re missing anything here but again I’ll get to that in a moment lets
go to the Seat of the Pantheon. Cinematic:
“All right everybody...Hold on!” Teleporter engaged, here we go to the seat
of the pantheon. Magni can do this now. “ohhhhhh, the seat of the pantheon!” My
gawd that looks cool. Titans return, cast beam on soul of Argus but Sargeras denies
them. “That which you have stolen will be your
ondoing. Rise, Argus. Rise, my broken world.””AHHHH” “Mortals...The time has come to fight for
the fate of your world.” The titans themselves, although severely weakened,
take their seat and try to use the power of Argus but before they can Sargeras intercepts
and awakens the child. Bound. Broken. Eons of existence, knowing only pain. A shattered
soul used to fuel infinite evil but his master beckons and he has risen. Ready to begin the
end of all things. “The master demands your doom!” I don’t know if this is also an avatar or
if he’s just that small because they abused his powers for so long and we just did a c-section
to get him out of the planet. Would also explain why the titan themselves are a little bit
smaller, their lack of power, at least he can’t step on us like ants giving us somewhat
of a fighting chance. The pantheon also backs us up by empowering us, making us avatars
of a portion of their power and clearing the field of death fog. “Let the fury of the sea wash away this
corruption.” While Argus the Unmaker has some of the most
beautiful abilities ever like Cone of Death,cleaving the fabric of reality, he creates a cone of
death fog in front of him. Scythes also fly across the battlefield trying to cleave us
in two until Argus is sufficiently weakened so that Aman’thul is able to subdue him
with a temporal blast, collapsing time around Argus, causing his form to dissipate. “No hope. Just pain. Only pain.”
“Time answers to me, Unmaker! The one force that can bind your relentless fury.” However we must now contend with Argus’
Constellar Designates each of them powerful in their own right. They wield the powers
of the cosmos, even draw upon the stellar armory while norgannon uses discs of Norgannon
which exposes their elemental weaknesses. His constellar designates buy Argus the time
to regain his strength... Freezes us in place, impales us with dark
spike thingy and one shots the raid. “No! After all we have endured...it must
not end this way!” “Hope is not lost, Highfather. The spark
of life still flickers within these mortals.” “Arise, champions! Fight to save your world!” The gift of the lifebinder brings us back
from the spirit world and our fight for the fate of the universe continues. Embers of
rage, burning titanic energy rain down from the sky. Reorigination modules spawn across
the field, ready to inflict some massive damage but destroying them leaves motes of titanic
power in the spirit world. Our death now becomes a resource as that titanic power feeds Khaz’goroth
who then makes us titanforged, reforming us in his image and making us more powerful.
The gift of the lifebinder is not eternal, each time we return we drain a little bit
of its power while Argus’ wrath released hungering souls to stalk the spirit world.
In the end our titanic efforts pay off, Argus is subdued and its powers can be used as we
intended. “You have done well, mortals.”
“It is time. “ “We must gather our strength. Return home,
children of Azeroth.” “Illidan! We’ve done all we can.”
“Every choice, every sacrifice has led me to this moment to face him once again.”
“You...are not coming with us...” “The hunter is nothing without the hunt.
Did you not see this fate, Prophet?” “Fate...Our survival was never in fate’s
hands.” Smirk and the turn
“Light be with you, Illidan Stormrage” Vindicaar is out! Titans energize. Shoot that
rainbow beam of holy goodness right into sargeras. “Brother, your crusade is over!”
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaar I was right in the middle of something here. Can you let me sniff Azeroth
a little bit more? “No.”
PENETRATIONNNNNNN, no means no, you’ve read all the memes. And space devil is sucked back
into the seat of the pantheon. “At last...”
Rift closes, deep sigh. The millenia of crusade is over. Gaze upon the water, gaze upon the
sword that has wounded our world. And there ends so the Burning Crusade, there
ends Legion, a story that began near the dawn of creation now leaves us with Sargeras being
forced to take his seat with the rest of the Pantheon. They don’t take him without a
little parting gift, what I assume to be Gorribal is plunged deep into Silithus. Now a lot of
you, including myself, feel like we’re missing quite a bit of story. All of a sudden they
come up with the idea of imprisoning Sargeras and using the power of Argus to make it so.
I didn’t keep an eye on it for myself, but according to some posts you can see the cloud
getting closer and closer to Azeroth as you progress through the raid. What seems to be
the story is that once Illidan opened up that rift and we went to Argus, Sargeras took the
opportunity to go to Azeroth. Why he didn’t just one shot us first is anyones guess and
I wonder if some RP bugged out, because we do have some datamined voicefiles which at
least acknowledges Sargeras being out there. Illidan Stormrage: It matters not. We have
lost. Look to the skies! Prophet Velen: Sargeras will soon undo all
we have fought for. Voice of Amanthul: No.
Voice of Amanthul: We will use the last glimmer of Argus's power to bind him here. The Seat
of the Pantheon shall become Sargeras's prison... and ours as well.
Prophet Velen: You would condemn yourselves to stop him?
Voice of Amanthul: A sacrifice must be made. Illidan Stormrage: Our world must survive...
no matter the cost! Magni Bronzebeard: Their final act will harness
the last o' Argus's power, to imprison Sargeras... once and for all.
Voice of Amanthul: Return home, children of Azeroth. Protect the final titan. So I wonder if some RP simply bugged out,
it is the first week after all or perhaps that’s going to be part of the mythic mode.
It would suck to have such key information locked away behind a difficulty, but datamined
information suggests that instead of subdueing Argus with a temporal blast, Sargeras shows
up to join the fight. There’s a different dungeon journal description, a red enraged
model and several abilities named after Sargeras. It would also make illidan’s choice a lot
better. Now we have him stay behind simply because he wants too, which is fine I guess
the hunter being nothing without the hunt like Maiev was nothing without Illidan, but
there’s no real need. Having the demon hunter stay behind to help contain Sargeras, rather
than just being there because he simply wants to fight the dark titan would a bit more depth
in my opinion. High Exarch Turalyon: Prophet... what happened
out there? Prophet Velen: Illidan serves as the Dark
Titan's jailer. His sacrifice has ended the Legion. At long last, the Burning Crusade...is
over. The sword sticking into our planet will have
consequences for the future. When you defeat Argus on heroic or higher you’ll get an
item called Blood of the Unmaker: Before your eyes, a trickle of blood from the fallen titan
Argus congeals into a flawless gemstone. Holding it in your palm, you sense an almost unfathomable
power emanating from within...along with echoes of pain and sorrow. It is the last remnant
of a battle that should not have been winnable. An impossible achievement. Yet, as with all
victories, this one came at tremendous cost. You realize immediately to whom you must convey
this prize, Khadgar in Dalaran. Khadgar: The legion is defeated. Its master
imprisoned. But in his final, spiteful act...sargeras may have doomed us all. Our world is wounded
champion, its life essence seeps out into the sand just as Magni foresaw. “Her feelins are aj umble. I need to focus.
Let her thoughts flow into arghghghgh. sands...soaked in pain. Rivers....rivers of blood. Skies
aflame. A sword...in the darkness...the wound...it’s burning. Sargeras... The dark titan comes!” “This meredrop of Argus blood surges with
incredible power, the might of a titan. If the blood of azeroth also proves to be a source
of such strength, those who seek to rule this world will stop at nothing to possess it.
The days ahead may be dark indeed. For now, go to Silithus, gaze upon the wound in the
world with your own eyes. We will find a way to save azeroth, I know it. “ This power will play a roll in the next expansion
for those who seek to rule this world, they will stop at nothing to possess it. It might
have something to do with the datamined dialogue of Varimathras that I also didn’t hear during
the raid but the future is a topic for another day. For now the rift between Argus and Azeroth
has been closed and on the Vindicaar we can talk with a few of the heroes that joined
us. Vereesa believes Alleria has changed, but in her hears she remains her beloved sister.
They’ve been gossiping about Sylvanas and the Windrunner sisters must meet. I wonder
if she mentioned how she stabbed sylvanas in the heart, while Alleria’s heart soars
to return Azeroth alongside her son Arator and Turalyon. Is Sylvanas still her sister
or some light forsaken monster, the void powers at her command may cause some to question
her loyalties. Arator is happy to have found his family,
but it will take time to heal the wounds and get to know the people who gave life to him
and have been absent for all of it. Turalyon is ready to go home and walk the world he
hasn’t seen for a thousand years. Time to build a new life and get to know the son who
embodies everything they fought for since Arator was a big reason why they joined the
army of the light to begin with. Khadgar is tired, but Magni’s visions of doom shake
him to his very core. Only one titan remains, our little planet, and we must defend it. Velen was unable to save his beloved home
world, but we did find victory. The future is uncertain, the prophet will no longer let
visions guide him and will do all he can to support King Anduin, to ensure he is prepared
to face the threat that looms in the darkness. What’s kinda cool is that in the skybox
you can actually see a couple of corrupted void planets, meaning that the threat void
is definatly still out there. If the comic with Anduin is a certainty, then he and Velen
have a lot of adventures still waiting for them. To wrap this video up we have the Alor’idal
Crystal, left behind by Illidan...somehow... “The moment that the way to Argus opened....the
instant my gaze fell upon the Legion’s home world...I knew I would not be returning from
it. I will face my destiny, whatever it may hold. Yet...I have left certain matters unsettled...old
wounds that I would see mended. This crystal bears two messages. One is for my brother
Malfurion, the other for Tyrande. I am trusting you to deliver them on my behalf, champion.
When they have heard my words, leave the crystal atop Mount Hyjal, upon the shores of the Well
of Eternity. You have witnessed echoes of my past, hero. I ask your help to put these
final matters to rest. “ “The soul of our world is in agony...”
“The crystal...it rings out with a familiar voice.”
“Malfurion... even in the womb we grappled with one another. Struggle has followed us
all our lives. The teachings of Cenarius were always your path. I felt...another calling.
It was power I sought....but not to conquer or rule. It was a means to an end...to save
Azeroth from an unstoppable foe. You never trusted my intentions...though I suppose I
did not make it easy for you. But now, as my fate becomes clear, I wish to quiet the
strife that has long divided us. Even when the Legion is gone, new threats will arise.
There is no one I trust to face them more than you, brother. You have spent a lifetime
fighting for the dream of what Azeroth could be. Now you must fight for what it is. Take
care of Tyrande. Listen to her counsel. She was always the best of us. The road ahead
will be long. Whatever come, bring honor to the name...Stormrage.”
“My brother made selfish choices. Caused pain to so many. His transgressions are...difficult
to forgive. And yet...there were times when we fought for a common cause. A shared purpose.
Those were good days. But now is not the time to ponder personal regrets. We must see to
healing the world, champion.” Transgression difficult to forgive while Malfurion
put Illidan in jail because that would be more merciful then to outright kill him only
to then have them all become immortal and using spells to make sure Illidan stayed alive,
unable to kill himself. 10.000 years in darkness only to be set free and used by the one who
was the best of them. Let’s hear what Tyrande has to say. “In my lifetime, I have twice witnessed
a sundering of the world. Mother Moon, I pray I do not see a third.” “I sense a sorcerer’s touch upon this
crystal.” “Tyrande... Long ago, you trusted me enough
to defy Malfurion’s wishes and free me from my prison. But over time, that faith was lost.
And like my brother, you came to believe that the choices I made had driven me to darkness.
Know that every path I took led toward a single purpose: saving our world. I could abide no
half measures. No compromise. At those times when I faced doubt, I held true to one constant.
One anchor. You. You have always embodied the best of Azeroth, Tyrande. Your faith.
Your devotion. Through the darkest times, my belief in you never wavered. My fate, my
duty, are now clear to me. I leave Azeroth’s defense to you...and to my brother. Take care
of him, Tyrande. Though at times I wished your heart had made a different choice, in
the end...I know it made the right one.” “Contrite words. Yet I must wonder whether
he truly meant them. After Illidan faced defeat atop the Black Temple, I tried to let go of
my feelings...my distrust and bitterness. When I learned that he was alive, leading
the fight against the Legion on the Broken Shore...I could not bring myself to speak
to him. The time for talk has passed. It seems he has a duty to fulfill...as do we. Let us
be about it, champion.” Ow Illidan, if only you could hear what she’s
saying right now, I’m sure you’d finally realize that Maiev is the one for you. Now
as far as I recall, Illidan had quite a lust for power and not just for the defense of
Azeroth. There were choices made a long the way, but all the same, Illidan cares the most
about these two and wants the crystal to rest under Nordrassil at Mount Hiyal, the remnants
of the well of eternity he created, the thing that got him imprisoned. “The Well of Eternity. I am not one for
sentiment...but if anything embodies my commitment to Azeroth, it is the font of power I created
so long ago. But enough dwelling on the past. The crystal I left for you to find holds not
two messages, but three. The last is for you, champion. You have proven your commitment
to Azeroth. Your dedication, your sacrifice, rivals my own. But more will be asked of you.
So much more. Even now, enemies gather...and the shadows grow darker. From this day forward,
the defense of our world...of all we hold dear...rests with you.” After bringing Illidan’s crystal to the
well of eternity, you feel a sense of satisfaction. As if a circle is now completed. Whether he
was a hero or a betrayer...both or neither...Illidan has a duty to fulfill. As do you. Nah, don’t tell me how I feel quest text.
I have questions. iWhen did Sargeras go all cloudy and make
his way to Azeroth. What was he doing to the planet, do you even know how many hilarious
comments have been made about this, about his sword penetration? Why doesn’t anyone
acknowledge that we’re going to imprison Sargeras before we actually imprison him.
Sure we have Magni with the vision of Sargeras coming, but there was no mention of that anywhere
else. Where did Maiev go? You changed the story
in such a way that she’s no longer a homicidal maniac only to have her disappear. Sure the
one doing her voice apparently had to undergo some surgery, but you could have done it in
text. Where the heck was Wrathion, why was he removed
from highmountain? He was the one warning us about the coming of the Legion and had
0 storytelling. Why the heck did Medivh show up in Karazhan
dropping some cryptic nonsense only to just disappear again.
Why didn’t we see Alleria use some of those sexy void powers in the raid.
Why does Illidan stay behind, just for fun? Speaking of Illidan, why go through all that
trouble to create a link between outland and argus to never use it?! Was it just so he
was weakened at the top of the black temple? Joking aside, as always there will be things
to point out, things that have been dropped out but all in all Legion has been one hell
of a ride. Sargeras, the Pantheon and Illidan
are still out there somewhere, the world of Azeroth is hurting and the battle is on. Ladies
and gentleman thank you so very much for sticking with me and if you want more details about
all the things we talked about today, check out the related article in the description
