  1. Probably wrong but I'll ask it anyways , the planet we see in the nighthold after the fight with what we assume is infected with the void , if that is confirmed or not I don't know. What if it could actually be tree roots from the seed given to us from the winter queen taking a hold of Azeroth ?

  2. If anything, Shadowlands is subjugated and paved over by forces of Order (No need for First Ones, the very same Titans could suffice): it's an artificial, mechanistic, structured bureaucracy that is all dedicated to a singular purpose: basically be a hydroelectric dam powered by flow of souls on their way from material realm to a completely unknown destination. It's not an actual afterlife, but a borderline state, which also conveniently explains how it ultimately allows for resurrection and undeath, and how you can die again in the Shadowlands. It's basically Halls of Valor on a larger scale. While it was created with benevolent intent to give unto every soul what it supposedly deserves, it's a very inflexible system with a lot of exceptions slipping through the cracks and ultimately an imbalance in the natural state of things. Zovaal, and by extension Sylvanas, was supposed to rebel against this and ultimately succeed, resulting in the entire place being broken down, most of the souls proceeding to an unknown and inaccessible place they're supposed to go (thus restoring the weight of death rather than keeping it a revolving door) and the covenant races fleeing into the material realm, thus creating the potential for them as allied races. The next big plot hook would be that without the anima collected by Shadowlands, something else in the multiverse is about to stop functioning with disastrous ramifications.

  3. When we look at the cosmic forces map, the Shadowlands are clearly separate from the other cosmic forces. It is on the opposite side of the Emerald Dream. The Emerald dream is where the souls of life aligned beings(like the wild gods) on Azeroth go after they die and then they will be reborn. The same is the case with the Twisting Nether and the Burning Legion. The Twisting Nether is a purgatory realm for the cosmic force of Disorder. I think that the Shadowlands is like a kind of purgatory realm for Death. A realm between life and death where your soul is either purged of sin and rebirthed back on Azeroth through Ardenweald, or if you are sent to the Kyrian, you exist as a type of spirit guide that ferries the dead to the various realms. This would mean that there are other Purgatory realms for Light, Void, and Arcane as well. I don't think that Zovaal is actually Death, but he is working for Death. I think this is the case because he was one of the original five Shadowlands leaders before he rebelled. They also call him brother, which means that he was an equal rank to them. Also, if you look at the Cosmic forces chart, there is an order of who wields the power, what kind of power they wield, and where their power originates(Naaru/Holy/Light, Wild Gods/Nature/Life, Titans/Arcane/Order, Old Gods & Void Lords/Void/Shadow, Undead/Necromantic/Death, Burning Legion/Fel/Disorder). Also, on the chart, on Undead side, they don't show Zovaal; like on Burning Legion, they show Sargeras. Instead, death is represented by a spirit healer. Through out the shadowlands, Zovaal never actually used death magic, he used domination magic.

  4. By the end of Dragonflight I would expect to see the whole Pantheon return, along with Sargeras. I would assume Sargeras either corrupts the whole pantheon orrrr.. even better, the pantheon cleanses Sargeras of his fel.

  5. I think Zereth Mortis is the chains of death. Anything that looks like it should not be in Shadowlands is made in ZM. The entire pantheon is made in ZM and they are the ones who keep the Shadowlands ordered and organized.
