This video is brought to you in
colaboration with wowhead.com Hello everyone! This video comes out of a bit of a
random discussion we had during stream, but I think it’s an interesting
question to consider especially when looking at the world soul saga and the
true plans of the titans. The question is, why are beings of order, why are the
titans home grown in our reality? “What is the real purpose of all their cute
little installations slammed into the side of the planet. Do we know everything we need to
know about their real intentions for our world. ” And I had not really considered it before the
difference of the titans compared to the other cosmic domains.... So we’ve gotten more story
about the different cosmic domains right? Light and Shadow, Life and Death, Order and Disorder.
The cosmic forces that make up the warcraft universe all in a constant tug of war.
Next to that we’ve learned about different zereth’s so a zereth mortis for the domain of
death or a zereth ordus for the domain of order. We’ve met the pantheon of death, similar to
the titans but connected to the shadowlands. That’s where they’re created, that’s where they
come from, that’s where they can be replaced. “We’ve seen titans that represent order but we’ve
mostly seen them through azeroths representation of that. We went to the world that eonar was
on and things like that but we havent gone to a proper titan homeworld for example. We’ve seen
more how the titans interact with other things.” We’ve also seen other forces try to
manifest and push their influence into our domain. When the void lords wanted
to corrupt a titan they pooled their powers together and shot out the old gods while the
void lords are still in their shadowy domain. The naaru have been great ambasadors for
the domain of light, even fought great wars when their domain was threatened
by revendreth and the shadowlands. Knowing all that, the question for today is....
how come the titans are born in our reality, in the so called physical universe. How come the titans don’t originate from titan
land, from the domain of order? That is what we’ve been told after
all. That titans popped into existance after the warcraft universe came to be. Even more extraordinary than the naaru were
the oclossal titans. Their spirits – known as world souls – formed deep within the ifery
core of a small number of worlds. For ages, these nascent titans slumbered, their energies
suffusign the celestial bodies they inhabited. When the titan finally awoke, they did so as
living worlds. Cosmic winds howled across their gigantic forms, bodies shrouded in a cloak
of stardust, skin crisscrossed with silvery mountain peaks and oceans shimmering with latent
magic. With eyes that shone like brilliant stars, they observed the fledgling cosmos and became
enraptured by its mysteries. Whereas the naaru set out to safeguard life, the titans embarked
on a different journey. Thye wandered the distant corners of the great dark, searching for others
of their kind. This grand, far-reaching voyage would one day alter the course of creation
and shape the destiny of all living things. “Return home, children of azeroth.” No one knows when or why the first titan awoke,
but legends hold that his name was Aman’Thul. Though Aman’Thul was alone, he knew in his
heart that others of his kind must exist. Thus, he explored the worlds of the great dark
beyond, intent on finding more titans. His quest was arduous and lonely, but it was
ultimately fulfilling. In time, he disocvered other nascent world-souls. Aman’Thul lovingly
nurtured these newfound kin and roused them from slumber.Those who awakened devoted themselves
to his noble search. Aman’Thul and his siblings later became known as the Pantheon. They were
benevolent by nature, creatures aligned with order and stability. The pantheon possessed a natural
affinity to the latent magic in the universe. Fully aware of their incredible power, they
bound themselves to a code of temperance toward the civiliations they encountered, even those of
the unruly elemental spirits. The titans of the pantheon came to realize that order was crucial to
finding others of their kind. On each world thye encountered, they employed techniques to ascertain
whether a world-woul was present. The pantheon would first pacify the worlds raging elemental
populations. Then, they would reshape the world, forming great mountains, fathomless seas, and
roiling skies. Lastly, the titans would seed myriad life-forms across the newly ordered owrld.
In doing so, the Pantheon hoped to call forth the world-soul and help bring it to maturity. Most
of the time, however, the worlds visited by the titans proved inert. The Pantheon vowed ot
maintain and protect all of these world,s even those that did not contain a slumbering spirit.
To do so, they empowered primitive life-forms to uphold the integrity of their ordered worlds.
The pantheon also embeded colossal machines in the surface of the worlds they had shaped.
Through tthese devices, the titans could monitor their worlds – and pruge them of life should
their evolutionary paths succumb to disorder. “It is in the universe best itnerest to-originate this planet should my analysis find
systemic corruption. DO not interfere.” To aid the pantheon, Aman’thul called upon
a mysterious race known as the constellar. These celestial beings observed the many worlds
ordered by the titans, staying vigilant for any sign of instability. When it was necessary, the
constellar could initiate a fail-safe procedure to scour life from a world in the hopes of
resetting its evolutionary processds. Over the ages, the pantheon discovered fewer and fewer
world-souls. Yet they remained undaunted. They knew that the universe was vasy beyond measure,
and even after epochs of exploring the stars, they had only plumbed but a small corner
of creation. Unbeknownst to the titans, malign forces were also hard at work in
the distant reaches of the Great Dark. “WHat have the titans actually been
doing since the dawn of civilisation.” That’s information from the chronicles
which, as with most lore these days, comes with a side note, an asterix which reads
point of view. This is the information they want us to know which can change at any time
but we need something to speculate with. On top of that, we do have an more direct
retelling of a titan spirit growing up. Now, she lived a history that
surpassed the existence of the universe.
Blink. It was energy, spinning out into the cosmos.
Blink. It found warmth near a sun, and a world
formed around it to protect it as it grew. Blink.
Generations of life lived and died upon it. Blink.
It was betrayed. It was bound by something powerful.
Blink. 26
Pain. Pain. It hurt so much. Its only solace lay within its dream.
Blink. They enslaved worlds. They burned worlds.
They used its strength to revive their fallen souls. It hurt so much.
Blink. They found another. It was much more powerful.
They wanted to claim it, too. Then they would be unstoppable.
Blink. It screamed into the cosmos for help. Two
children answered the call. Two bright lights. Blink. Two bright lights… from Azeroth.
A world that was like Argus. Alleria ripped herself free. Now she was lying
on her side. Turalyon was shaking her. "Wake up! Alleria! Wake up! We have to go!"
She reached up, grabbed his shoulder. "Did you see?" she whispered.
"See what?" He hadn't. Why hadn't he seen it? Why had
she? "Argus has a soul. This world has a soul. And so does Azeroth. That
is why the Legion wants it." That’s a direct view into Argus’ memories who came
out as a titan but not exactly the same way the others were born and the dreadlords had pumped
him so full of death magic that his spirit flew off into the shadowlands instead of going where
ever it is that dead titans are supposed to go, causing a whole bunch of problems but
point being, they were able to transform, mutate its spirit from being alligned
with one cosmic domain to another. That’s what the voidlords been trying to do
aswell, infect a slumbering spirit and turn it to their corrupted void state... but how different
is that really from what we’ve seen the titans do? They’ve described it as bringing order to
the planet and giving that slumberin world soul a chance to grow and thrive, to become
like one of the pantheon but is that really the natural state of these world souls? If
we’re going to go on a jorueny of discovery, figuring out what the titans really wanted to
accomplish, then lets look back at what we know... Aman’thul was the first to awaken
and recruit the others to his side. Aman’thul charged nozdormu with
protecting the so called true timeline. Aman’thul lost his shit when Eonar stepped a
toe out of line of order and dabbled into life. What if Aman’thul is like an old god or
a naaru but instead he’s connected to the domain of order and has wormed his way
into the physical universe. As established with the cosmic forces, they’re all
about trying to get the upper hand, be the dominant force. . What we’ve been lead
to believe so far, the titans slumbering inside of worlds and offered help from the pantheon by
bringing order to the universe might just be that, titan propaganda. Fake news! There are definatly
world souls comparable to eachother growing within planets, but are they originally titans
or have they been molded to be that way? That could be what they mean with learning about
the true intentions and goals of the titans and their machineries, but then a question
that automaticly follows is...why? What would putting the pantheon in this light,
in this forcefully transforming of worlds, really give us for the story? Well, imagine
that Aman’thul is the only one that’s really part of order and the rest of his pantheon are
those he himself transformed to be on his side. This revelation could caus fractures within
the pantheon itself. We’ve already read about Eonar and Aman’thul having completely different
viewpoints on how far you can move away from order before itb ecomes chaos. Perhaps that difference
is there because their origin is different. Could Eonar step away from the highfather and
perhaps side with the domain of life or elune? What about Sargeras. The noble champion of
the pantheon fought against the darkness of the universe until he discovred that the old
gods were trying to mold them to their shadowy side. He was willing to go on a burning crusade
to prevent this corruption. How would he react to the knowledge that the pantheon itself is no
better and tries to enforce their own way of life. What about Azeroth herself? She’s been
orderd for millenia now. What state is she in? Did the infection of the old gods
play a rol in her formation? What abbout the imbalance of elemental spirits. How
would an original azeroth look like. What kind of connection do world souls have
to the forming of the warcraft universe, something that made the jailer verty
interested in her lifebloood. In her soul. “All to claim the power slumbering within your
world. The soul of azeroth wounded, vulnerable yet teeming with potential. Potential that I will use to eradicate this flawed reality.
Death claims the soul of your world.” Then looking beyond Aman’thul and gazing into
the domain of order, there is the potantial of a force behind the force. We’ve got old gods but
behind the old gods there are the voidlords. If we’d put aman’thul in a similar category, like a
herald or an agent to bring order, then who might be signing his paychecks? What kind of power house
would have the capability of spewing out followers that can control the very essence of time?
What would the world of the titans looks like, a world or domain we know exists caus that’s
where something like Argus was supposed to go. There’s quite a bit of story they could open up
by changing the true essence of the titans and their goals with the universe. All that said, we
are still children of the titans. Regardless of intent or misinformation, to us as players, our
position in the universe has been secured by the actions of the titans. A universe dominated
by the void or the light would not have given rise to mortal life as we see it play out so
for us, the titans definatly did us a solid and yet, there’s somethign to be said about being
turned into pawns. Into servants of order based on false information. I wouldn’t mind a confrontation
with Aman’thul, perhaps siding with Azeroth and Xal’atath but uhh yeah, bit of a random thought
that popped up during stream and I figured it could be fun to share so thank you very much for
watching everyone! By all means let me know what you think in the comments down below and say
that you want more details on all the things we talked about today, then check out the related
wowhead article in the subscription down below. “Theres been a lot of speculation i nthe
community weather the game was telling us perhaps that azeroth wasnt a titan. Could
you clarify for us if thats true or not? I cannot tell you that”
