  1. If you liked the content leave a like, comment and share. If you've been around the channel for a while you know this has been a long time coming. I finally made the follow up to Sporemound theory and now (Or at least for now until something changes) I can say if you want to know my thoughts on what the old gods this is the content to watch.

    P.S Yes I am working on things related to the shadowlands but I still have research to do.

  2. I’ve been around since the crappy microphone and background noise, your channel is awesome bro and I hope you will continue to drop content throughout shadowlands, and don’t stop the long videos I love every minute, I’m a big pvp player but the lore speculation is what brought me to wow

  3. It'll be a really nice twist if the whole thing about Shadow being the ultimate enemy really is a clever little farce, and it turns out that ALL the six magics have the potential to be equally nasty pricks.
    If we are heading to a "Life is Dangerous" patch, the Old Gods being corrupted forms made through Shadow but controlled by Life would make for one hell of a twist.

    As always, Quack, you twist our brains but leave us with some very interesting questions.

    P.S. I truly wouldn't mind a 3 hour long Old God vid, because damn can these fleshy monstrosities leave us scratching our heads.

  4. Hey duck another amazing video been waiting for this one! Will have to catch up on discord someday, been busy irl. Since beta been wondering about maldraxxus and with the mention we may see “what happens to old gods when they die” I started to wonder if maldraxxus is the corpse of either an old god, or a spore mound type being infused with necromantic/ undead/ shadowlands/ anima magic whatever. I’ve been needing someone to shoot this topic off of, and your old spore mound video has such bad sound quality and your weird voice make it hard for me to re-watch for some other thoughts. There are too many similarities and I like the idea that they started as something small that infused with magic grew into the old gods, even if it contradicts what chronicle claims the old gods are or that they were “flung” from the void. There are too many times where small infections or corruptions are left unchecked until too late in the various worlds. Plus with the elements constantly battling each-other the “lesser” creatures would be easy to overlook until it was too late. That with the fact that a small grub can turn into a ghuun- style creature by devouring the essence of a loa, I’m sure they can devour elemental energy and at some point gaining power from the void to create their final form of the old gods. Anyways look forward to more videos, and I’ve been meaning to hit you up on discord since starting to do callings in shadowlands, but I assume you’ve seen the grey item from the reward bags you can get that verifies that there are 3 wolves connected to the shadowlands, almost confirming your 3 wolves theory?

  5. Everytime something as massive as the Old Gods is talked and speculated about it has to be a long video cause there is just too much there. So, I wonder about the 5th one you talked about turning into the mother tree for Azeroth. Is it possible that since the Old Gods have been trying to corrupt Azeroth over a millenia or so would they all eventually evolve into something similar to actually feed or nourish Azeroth. If they did evolve from plant or life creatures they would eventually return to the earth or Azeroth. Btw, I still think N'zoth is not dead, I think literally it was a vision he created to push us forward and make us stronger. If your videos end up being too long, do what Nobbel does and put em into parts.

  6. some feedquack for you: there are not many seculation channels on youtube. there is pyromancer, a narcissist that was right once or twice so he is right about everything, loves klickbait titles and if you dont think he is right you should go and read a fucking book. there is accolon….although sympathetic at this point he is just babbeling without structure about every fart that goes through his brain to pump out as many vids as possible….maybe someday he will come around. and then there is you. no clickbait, exactly what you think you get. no hype trains just pure creative speculation. well articulated with a clear train of thought. sometimes a bit far fetched but the beauty of speculation is that it doesnt matter, as long as you dont take it too pyromancer…uhhh i mean too serious.
    you, sir, are the best speculation channel out there period. pure entertainment and enjoyable. please keep quacking what you are quacking <3

  7. I still think Xal'atath is the 5th Old God, but not the same as the other 4. I believe she was created in N'Zoth's image as his back up plan similar to how in later iterations on the Cthulhu mythos Cthulhu created a "secret daughter" named Cthylla. The description of Cthylla is too similar to the 5th Old God image in Chronicle, and even fits with how Xal'atath later on takes over the form of a dead Blood Elf. Let me just elaborate a bit, she is said to look like an octopus with wings, she is able to change the size of her wings at will and the number of arms she has as well, and the big one is that she is able to take on a humanoid form to walk among mortals. Tell me does that not sound quite a bit like Xal'atath?
    It was confirmed that the Drust as a people began with Gorak Tul in Kul Tiras, but the magic that he tapped into has existed for a very very long time.

  8. I still think G'huun was a part of a tentacle of N'Zoth that was experimented on. A reason I think this is the way he looks but also that real life octopi can have a limb act as it's own entity once it is severed. And then in the Ny'alotha raid I seen even more evidence, there are tentacles that show up in there that have the exact same color scheme as the ones connected to that of G'huun and also Vectis the blood elemental that was formed from G'huun's blood mixing with Hakkar's blood. Because in Ny'alotha there is also a blood elemental just like Vectis. Lots of connections to N'Zoth.

  9. There is more evidence to how large Grond was. The Seat of the Elements used to be his skull. Also the Colossi that have massive skeletons littered around Draenor came from parts of Grond when he was defeated, so yeah he was monstrous.

  10. Is possible when first recreation of Azeroth was done, reason for this was because Zovaal get on Azeroth and created Old Golds??… and after that he was Jailed?.. hmm?

    Edit: Zovaal´s name xD

  11. You said that Mandragora was the initial form of Y’Sharay, but did we actually see any Mandragoras on Azeroth? I am more inclined to believe that the origin of Y’Sharay is similliar to what you proposed in Flames of Dawn.

  12. I always understood that in primordial times, the Old Gods slammed into Azeroth. If I'm understanding what you're saying that some of these old gods originate from creatures from Draenor? I'm wondering how that could be if Azeroth had no contact with Draenor creatures at the time of the Black Empire or before that. Correct me if I'm wrong!

  13. So in a nut shell the literal bad guys in wow is the void. There are void lords and they basically sent parasites around the universe to infest planets these are who the old gods are. On azeroth there were elementals living there before anyone. The old gods used the elementals as their own lieutenants. The old gods fought against each other over and over. At the same time the titans were aware of the void and were seeking them out planet by planet trying to cleanse them. This is sargeras story and the draeni in a nutshell. When the titans found azeroth they imprisoned the old gods but it didn't stop them from corrupting life on azeroth they just couldn't really imprison them like they were doing before being imprisoned. The titans started creating life on azeroth. They did not create the elementals, dragons and the old gods. All of the life for the most part created by the titans was corrupted or trying to be corrupted from the start. It's what the void does they are literally just pure evil they will even kill each other if given a chance. Some life resisted some didn't. The dragons of azeroth were created by the elementals not the titans. Some of these dragons evolved into protodrakes. Then eventually the titans basically chose aspects from them to watch over their life they created.

  14. Old Gods were created out of Azeroth, in the void by the void lords, launched around all the cosmo with the only mission to find and corrupt slumbering titan world-souls( planets with young titans souls), been Azeroth one of these and even said for the very one pantheon, the most powerful world-soul known in the universe.

  15. I think the silkstriders originating from silkworms is not as much of a leap as you make it out to be, when you consider the vastly different appearance of something like a mosquito from its larval origin. The opening clips of ZeFrank's true facts video on mosquitos actually look alot like the clip you have here of the silkstrider.

  16. Wouldn't the 5th "Old God" be Azeroth because it is almost certainly a play on the name Azathoth? The "Emerald Dream" fits as Azeroth/Azathoth's dream from which all life and pretty much everything in the wow multiverse comes from and the whole reason Azeroth is sleeping is because of the mythos of Azathoth – if she were to wake up, "reality" would end because it all starts from the "Dream aka Emerald Dream of Azeroth) also the fact that "reality" is put in the middle of everything in the Shadowlands cosmology chart and all the other forces around it are just forces that we know exist and there may be an infinite amount of other incomprehensible ones we just don't know of.
