A R G U S. Xev was ashara's main Simp, lowkey working for Sargers, and he was a Magister Chief Advisor. And he died.
The arbiter is a sorting hat he places souls where they belong depending on their deed in life right. Well I know one soul shown in the trailers that the arbiter did not pace that was Arthas. Uther was the one who gave justice but maybe not rly Arthas might have belonged in another covenant and when his soul was thrown in to the maw it gave the super computer a mega bug 😂 that's what I think. And also when uther was throwing Arthas in the maw there was no huge vortex of souls being poored in the maw and there was no talk of anima drought in the trailer of bastion and it was the first trailer we got. After it all other trailers had anima drought or internal conflict.
Why not ner'zhul?
How do you know it Wasn't Argus Though? Sargeras could of shot his souls and planned his death all along at the hands of us. Sargeras Made a deal with jailer to create The armour of the lich king.
What if the cosmology leaders of order wants shadowlands and decides to strike and send argus to the shadowlands???
Why couldn't it be azshara?
Im still thinking it has to do with Argus/Sargeras‘ sword.
I’ll go with pyros theory that Sargeras fueled his sword with the energy from Argus before he stabbed Azeroth.
And now my theory… After that, we as a player arrived and sucked that QUOTE „Darkness“ out with our artifact weapon. At this point we’ve had an essence of Argus soul within our weapon which was too much power to handle so our weapon/vessel broke and the energy within went free. And then that part of Argus‘ soul turned into the shadowlands. I still have no answer on WHY his Soul went to the shadowlands. But we have evidence that Argus has something to do with the shadowlands!
His color pattern and that of his scythe match exactly the one of the Eternal Traveler set which you get when you purchased the epic edition of shadowlands.
At the end I wanna throw out a quote from Sargeras before he summoned Argus at the end of the raid.
„That which you (the titans) have stolen shall be your undoing.“
I think he’s referring to the shadowlands. In some quests we hear that the jailer can „reclaim“ the shadowlands. So that means that they must have been his at some point in history.
Allow me to propose option number 3 – Kil'jaeden – he himself was red and gotta be honest, that red bolt feels lot more like Sargeras-red rather than Nightmare-red, as much as Xavius was my initial guess (and continues to be my strongest bet) too
Yes I know, he is definition of what you call "demon lord", but – don't forget Velen's touch. We know the Light can cleanse and even override fel corruption. What if Velen wanted to give his old friend a "peace in death" by purifying his soul – overwriting his natural way into the Nether -, but actually fucked up and send a bolt of Sargeras-purity levels demon energy into the Arbiter? It would even check out with general story trope for Velen, he constantly got screwed by his desire to do general good.
And one big reminder to Xavius. Rift of Aln may not have a role to play here. Do not forget Xavius changes sides more often than avarage person changes socks. There is a strong possibility Xavius was seemingly working for Sargeras while pretending to be a pawn of N'zoth just to in fact work with Jailor. And after his demise, he turned into a suicide ball. I am gonna shit my pants if Arbitter wakes up with "Haha, we meet again and now it is not a dream, ahahahhaahhahaha".
Il'gynoth, not being a mortal soul, dying in the nightmare/dream.
Remember when they said that if the red spot in the sky ever disappeared that it would be a bad thing. After this cinematic is it still there?
I really would be surprised if it was Xavius, I feel like he's too low on the totem pole to totally disable something like the arbiter.
The red bolt he threw at Ysera was the corrupted tears of Elune, rather than his own power.
I still think it's something we're not anticipating, looking forward to finding out more!
Hey ACCO what about !!! " Kael'thas !!!! pursues vengeance on an enemy from his past while confined to Revendreth for the crimes he committed in life " " Upon death, Kael'thas was assigned by the Arbiter to Revendreth. However, Sire Denathrius took him into Castle Nathria within Pride's Prison not to redeem his sins but to amplify them, and burden Kael'thas with the sins of others through experiments beyond the immense anima and sins he already carried. This corruption to his sinstone made Kael'thas' soul very strong, but also very unstable, self-destructive, and pushed to the limit of its existence, rendering him a weapon that must either be redeemed or would be cast into the Maw. The Accuser chose to personally oversee Kael'thas' redemption.[40][41][42][43][44][45][46]
Upon learning that Kel'Thuzad was not sent to Revendreth but to Maldraxxus and that he is the partial cause of the troubles of Revendreth, in combination with his being unburdened of the sins of others, he is both filled with anger but also begins to accept he has made mistakes and failed to protect his people "
Sleep is important.
Could it be a soul that was trapped in the lantern Genn broke in Legion?
Hmmm the Nightmare doing that isn't so far fetched. The Void made Titan Constructs into Mortal beings which would give them anima to fuel the Shadowlands.
Can it be Gul'dan?
My opinion of what happened to the arbiter is the blade being stabbed into azeroth . Out legendary legion powers were red when we put it back into the swords jewel at the end of legion.
I'm pretty sure it's confirmed after the Revendreth storyline that Denathrius did it.
all of this is shaping up to be the longcon of the jailer to be free of the maw himself. i dont think xavius and the nightmare have anything todo with it. This could have been Sylvanas coming in after she shattered the veil.
I firmly believe the shadowlands arc will be a build up to a void expansion
Another question which needs to be asked is ; we know the machine if death broke during legion. However, do we know it was due to events which took place on azeroth or elsewhere?
It can't be argus because this is the scene displaying the breaking of the wheel of death. Now remember the wheel or machine which ever broke sometime before Argus died and returned to the plane of order. So the idea being argus can't happen unless: he sent a bolt of death magic or whatever his energy is at her from some sort of portal or teleportation device.
There was something in the dream the little void flower thing. I don't really think that was a clear indicator of the prison for Nzoth, I think it was the indicator that there was a thing or whatever in the dream trying to get to the shadowlands. Again the breaking of the machine of death is the actual key. We know when it broke in legion so go from there, I don't remember exactly when it broke in legion but the timeline should give a clue to who's sole it is.
I think its ysera's nightmare that hit the arbiter
could it be kil'jaeden? Wasn't he mortal?
The timeline doesn't add up for either candidate . Windrunner went to the maw after her death at icecrown and after that is when she began sowing the seeds of a large scale war with the alliance even going so far as to secure her holding in the former lordaeron territories. My guess is that the dread lords had planned from the begining that the legion would fail in the third war and planned around this. That's why they delivered the helm of domination to bind ner'zthul's soul to the helm and why they were so adamant that the lich king must die, despite him being an agent of the Maw. The original lich King was an altered soul directly empowered and tied to the jailor. My guess is that they made nerz'thul's soul into a two part weapon, one that would increase the jailor's power on azeroth and once it served it's purpose break the machine of death allowing the jailor to directly channel all souls into the Maw.
One of the last souls to enter the afterlife where it was supposed to was Ursoc. We killed Ursoc in Emerald Nightmare. And VERY shortly after Ursoc we killed Xavius. Ky money is it's Xavius.
I think it is Argus. I think that the impact of a Titan soul most definatly would cause significant damage to The Arbiter, i am not so sure Ysera would have the same impact. Remember that we see Ursoc go through a similar fate in Legion and still ending up in Ardenweald for his long slumber without major incidents. Argus was broken beyond measure, tortured for millenia, abtly named the "Titan of Death" and most importantly a world soul. Helya could have provided the link (perhaps through the maw of souls) as she is of Titan origin, and we never found out what the pact she made with Sylvanas was all about, but we do know that there was a rift open between the two worlds during that period. Also Sylvanas would have already been in league with The Jailer at that point and could very well have been sent to Helheim by him.
Hmm, don’t know real timeline and if this was possible. But during quest when we “cleanse” Sargeras sword in Silithus. Our Artifact weapons lose power and then Eye in Sargeras sword shuts down. Can it be that it was actually our Artifact weapons powering that “Red beam” that hit Arbiter? 🤷♂️
One thing is sure, it happened not too long after Ursoc died. And in the Ardenweald short they are talking about seasons after seasons. But how long is a season in Ardenweald? And is time flowing in the same rate in Shadowlands as in Azeroth? I think it happened around a time after Vol'jin died. What about when G'huun was killed? he was some sort of old god experiment.
My Prediction:
It is likely that Forsworn Kyrians (Still blue and has white wings) helped bring Xavius into the Shadowlands and helped transform Xavius' soul & anima into a bomb that cannot kill the Arbiter but put her into a deep slumber. If that red soul was indeed Xavius, he is either now totally dead or is still alive as a virus that keeps the Arbiter in her slumber. I also believe the Jailer is not powerful as the Arbiter herself if they fight each other. The cinematic might prove that Xavius was the Mawsworn's agent within the Emerald Nightmare. I also believe the Jailer's main objective is to reach Oribos and destroy the Arbiter himself since he is the only being that knows how to kill the Arbiter. Killing the Arbiter might cause the Arbiter's power to be transferred to the Jailer in which he will have complete control over both the Shadowlands and the Veil. With that power, the Jailer will use the Shadowlands as his base of operations and the veil as a gateway to different worlds, realms, and planes of reality. I am also hoping that Sylvanas will betray (Sylvanas followed Anduin's advice to not trust the Jailer) both the Jailer & Heyla and absorb both of their powers and then destroy them. After that, Sylvanas will proclaim herself as the supreme leader of the Mawsworn. Sylvanas will admit that the mission to kill the Arbiter is a big defeat and instead have the Mawsworn cross the shattered veil above Torghast to invade Azeroth and later other realms and worlds.
After Xera died by Illidan the voice actor was sent to the Oribos 😁
Xavious seems most likely. What about Gul’dan? Exactly when was the arbiter knocked out when compared to our timeline?
I'm guessing Argus. The devs during interviews asked 2 questions for us, the consumers, to think about which is why i think this answer is correct. The first was the Ian H. asking why happens when a titan dies. The second was about the titan home world. I think something is wrong at the titan home world so Argus got rerouted. Shadowlands is an entire expansion of us dealing with the jailer trying to use this the situation into his favor OR him reaping the rewards of some unforeseen event he somehow caused at the titan home world. That's my guess.
Why would it not be Deathwing?
I think it could be Argus' IF and only if all souls, including Titans and as we see with Ursoc, a wild god, had to go to the Arbiter and then sent to their respective realms. Let's say her filter is to send these "souls" back to the the Twisting Nether or Great Dark Beyond, whatever. The red tint should be an indicative. I don't think it was Xera or other Naaru, Maybe Xavius, but we kill him right after we kill Ysera, right? I think it was after that. Maybe Gul'dan, or Kil'Jaeden, but I'd say Gul'dan has a better chance.
Calling it now – it was Ysera that broke it.
I have another option. I know it is a longshot but what if the soul that broke arbiter is in fact……Kil'Jeaden? Yes, I know that demons got back to Twisting Nether if they die but we remember also that if they are killed there. They are killed for good.
Any theories on a larger meaning behind the change in color of Sylvanes clothes from red to grey? Other than to just match the jailer?
When I first saw it, i thought Sargeras – but he's not dead (unless he can weaponize his soul….)
Helya is titanforged not mortal so I dont think her soul goes to the Shadowlands. I think her alliance to the jailer is something Sylvanas traded to her for her help. Also I think the lantern held Helya's soul and her being the "first valkyr" that's why/how it was used to dominate other valkyr
Kil'Jaden.
I think it was Kil'Jaden back when he was attempting to get Frostmourn and the Helm of Domination.
I think the arbiter has been broken since before the Lich King
Arthas soul broke it i think 🤔
Would make sence fort it to be xavius, since Xavius "died" after yesera and ysera is now in shadowlands?
