  1. Am I the only one who believes that sylvanas is making anduin CHOOSE so he will have some free will left in order to use Zovals powers against him?

    If Anduin chooses to wield the power he may be able to act freely (to a degree) enough to defeat the Jailer using his own powers… where as if he is forced then there will be no chance…

  2. Ok ok I know we have the Jailer and our covenants to focus on but uhhh…
    What about the dozens of other Shadowlands realms… Like they are also experiencing thins drought sooo what's gonna happen to them? Are we just gonna let them die?

  3. So the jailor corrupts anduins dads sword and makes anduin the lich king 2.0…okay. But here's the thing, could anduin become tainted in a manner in which causes him to turn to the void or away from the light. Feel like the jailor himself is being motivated by external powers. Wouldnt shock me if he was. Meanwhile, its not good Sylvannus is taking second place to anduin here. My interpretation could be wrong but she basically is a lackey to the jailor who just made her replacement. Or perhaps they need a big 3 in order to challenge a higher power. Its not us. Its never us. We're the delaying factor. We have always been that. Meanwhile, im genuinely concerned to what will happen if anduin dies. The light isn't always good. Turalyon doesn't always make the best choices. Will he favor the naru or the alliance. It doesn't sound good if thats the case. The war isn't over and im thinking our next big lore chunk will look at the divide between the light and void by focusing on characters in each faction affected by both.

  4. There should be one factor we should be aware of – What if Sylvanas wants Auduin to make the choice to serve instead of being forced to, otherwise it would be a repetition of Arthus who is believed to resist the powers of the helm – Arthas holding his army back instead of leashing throughout the planet as part of the Jailer's plan.

    Also, in the earlier comments, TheSadLittlePanda did raise an excellent point – both Auduin and Arthas are paladins and have the Light so is the Light the "battery" of the powers of Jailer's weapons? Why else the Jailer singled him out of the other equally strong allies? I am sure Jaina Pourdmoore is more powerful but her arcane powers are not compatible?

  5. I think the portal is the Jailer opening his weekly Vault. The Brokers have been working with the Jailer for something, maybe a bit of Azeroth's soul to take back to where ever they come from. Thus the gems used in the sword, helm, and new sword are likely not from this reality at all.

  6. The void power growing in Anduin will make him immune to the effects of the mourneblade, while still allowing him to wield and control it. Perhaps Anduin becomes the new jailer of the damned, which would make the alliance power heirarchy shaken up? just spitballing here.

  7. Sylvanus ultimately has fallen for the same trap that a lot of victims fall for. She was done wrong by the Lich King. Who created the Lich King? Zoval. Who is Sylvanus working for? Zoval.

    Why is it these nihilistic victimhood preachers always end up the vassals of the very people responsible for their suffering?

  8. So if the Lich King was controlled by the jailer, then he did that to Sylvannas, does she know the Lich King was controlled to do what he did to her, she should blame the Jailor, i wonder if she knows or will find out

  9. A difference between Anduin and Arthas is that Arthas was on a quest for vengeance, exposing himself. Anduin seems more in control.

    However, someone who is on a quest for vengeance is Tyrande. It would not surprise me if she tries to get revenge on Sylvanas only to see herself take the place of Sylvanas and The Lich King.
    How would you feel about that theory? @bellulargaming

  10. So I will attempt to predict blizzard writing:
    Anduin is gonna be the new lich king and gonna suddenly be evil. then arthus joins our cause and then varian will pop out and say to his son that no king rules forever. Which will make anduin good again.Then sylvanas will land the killing blow on zoval and become the new jailor.

    Am I doing it right blizzard?

  11. Plot twist: silvanas uses the blade on her and becomes the lich queen and frees Azeroth/wow universe most powerful from the maw ( past and current characters) to challenge the jailer and hope for victory
