could imagine them warring with the Naga and losing
Wow, deep dive but brilliant
I first saw these stain glass mermaids in the trailer for Ulduar, than The Dread Expanse briefly mentioned them in one of his videos and now finally a proper video about them. Keep up the great work friend!
Great. Now you've made me imagine titanforged merpeople that we might encounter once we travel west of Kalimdor and why they were purged from titan records.
Good afternoon! 🌞
Hey there, just wanna say I really love your videos. They bring back so much memories from this awesome world we used to discover. Keep up the great work!
Also in the room right before you go through the crack into the Descent into Madnes,, if you look straight up there's a circular mural on the ceiling that depicts humanoid Seraphim angels, not valkyr.
Forcibly devolved into murlocs
This theory holds surprisingly well but I feel like sometimes drawings are just drawings.
Really insightful video, another great one. Thanks!
Amazing find, as usual. Thank you for yet another entertaining vid!
DUDE. CHILL ON THE VIDEOS. YOU HAVE TO EAT AND SLEEP SOME TIME. WE WANT YOU AROUND TO KEEP MAKING MORE IN THE LONG TERM.
It's Jedi Friday! Let's Go! 😀
Genuine question for you: why do you insist the "Original Trilogy" is the only right or official version of the lore as far as your lore dives go? I ask because, from my perspective as a fellow lore nerd, the lore stayed pretty consistent (with some minor cleanups here and there than can easily be handwaved away) through Mists of Pandaria. It wasn't until WoD and Legion that things started to get really heavily retconned and sharks started getting jumped.
Again, I want to reiterate that I'm not being combative here, just trying to have a genuine and honest discussion and possibly bridge some gaps. Cheers!
There is another explanation for the stained glass: perhaps the Titan who built Ulduar hatched from an aquatic World Soul and these 'mermaids' were it's primary inhabitants who were destroyed by that Titan coming into existence so they enshrined their memory in the halls of Ulduar, and perhaps in other Titan installations. After all, we haven't seen nearly all of them yet (even in retail) and we don't even know if Azeroth is the only planet with Titan installations like Ulduar. There might be one with mermaid decorations and ornamentation on every planet the Titans ordered. Given that we have not seen ANY other indication of this species on Azeroth, I actually feel it's likely they hail from somewhere else in the cosmos.
Well, it's a thought at least, and probably one of the more off-the-wall WoW theories I've ever had.
like the spirit of your commitment to sticking to the lore of the original trilogy though i'm more personally interested in the lore of early classic before they got rushed into burning all their cool ideas to keep gamer babies entertained. i'm willing to take stuff from later expansions like for example obv the lich king is going to start harassing the rest of azeroth but it's straight up embarrassing that they go through the dark portal in the literal first expansion, the world should have had more time to develop and breath, southern seas should have been second and the world should have had time to fill out like adding hyjal, northern lorderon, ect
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is it explicitly said the iron dwarf/vyrkul being assembled were there before Loken went mad, or is this a recent construction project by Yogg Saron?
6:15 I always took the shift in themes in the stained glass to be a reality-twisting effect of Yogg-Saron's corruption. Like either we weren't seeing things right and starting to hallucinate that deep into Ulduar's prison or his corruption straight up warped the images on the glass to things from his nightmarish dreams.
After all, why would any of the Titans or Titanforged create images of the Old Gods when we've always seen them try to destroy or erase said images wherever they are present? And in stained glass, nonetheless, a medium that is typically used to glorify the subject matter.
Wait, what hints in BfA?
Hes done it again. 10/10 content bro
Well there are sea giants, and they're Titan servants. Perhaps there's a connection
Maybe they were going to be present in Ny'alotha, stationed there, guarding the underwater city after the Titans took it from the Old Gods. But by the time of BfA with no one that worked on Ulduar was still in the company so it was not followed up on.
