Hello everyone!
I got a couple of requests to analysis the 7.2 trailer and give some information with
it since let’s be honest, it’s one hell of a trailer.
Let’s begin with actually showing the trailer for those who haven’t seen it yet:
Blizzard entertainment presents: Champions, your victory at the nighthold has
granted us the key to ending this war.
With the pillars of creation assembled, we finally have the power to cut the demons off
from our world.
Gul’dan failed, and so shall the legion.
*Thunk* Gul’dan was nearly their pawn.
Until victory is assured, we must remain vigilant.
The legion’s true masters have yet to reveal themselves.
Among them the monster who hunted my people across the stars...Kil’jaeden”
The day I took the felfire into my veins...I saw my destiny.
A grand crusade that would reach the ends of creation.
That was the vision you showed me.
Our crusade will prevail.
Everything we have done has been by your design and all we have to show for it is failure.
Perhaps you’ve lost sight of our destiny.
Perhaps I overestimated your resolve.
I payed for that destiny with my world!
Ermagerd it’s argus woeeeeeei The time has come to see it done.
WE HAVE ENOUGH PYLONS.
SEND OUT THE FLEET CARRIER HAS ARRIVED
Burn it to ash...
PAM PAM PAM PAMMMMMMM “Trailer”
The members of the order halls are gathered and Khadgar is feeling pretty confident after
bringing Gul’dan down.
Velen however, he knows that the warlock was just the warm up and the real threat is still
out there.
After being forced to take out his son, Velen is more then ready to finally stop running
away and take the battle to the Legion.
Somewhere far away Kil’jaeden is watching and notice how he almost seems sad when listening
to Velen talk about him.
All Kil’jaeden ever wanted was to be loved, was to have his fellow leader Velen join up
with them and the Legion which is why he hunted the draenei for so long , which is why the
whole rise of the Horde/destruction of draenor thing came to be.
He actually talks with Sargeras and this is not the first time that we hear his voice
since you can also hear him if you let Medivh fall in the Opening of the Dark Portal dungeon:
“No...damn this feeble mortal coil!”
and he spoke with Varimathras during the battle for the undercity.
“I can not hold...destabilizing!
You have failed me Varimathras”
Kil’jaeden’s pretty pissed with Sargeras since so far all their schemes and plans and
sacrifices, everything they’ve done for their grand crusade, hell even their home
planet of Argus is now a stronghold of the burning legion and all they have to show for
it is failure.
This disgruntlement is not a huge surprise if you’ve checked out the PTR dungeon journal
since Kil’jaeden’s description says:
Since striking the bargain that chased the draenei into the stars, Kil’jaeden believed
the Legion could not be stopped.
Yet, none of his deceptions have prevented us from reaching this critical moment.
Infuriated that Sargeras’ promise of victory has never come to pass, the demon lord prepares
to face us himself, for a final battle that will shape Azeroth’s destiny forever.
I love the fact that they’ve made kil’jaeden more than just a mindless follower of Sargeras
and how it ties in with some old speculation.
Way back when during the Burning Crusade we faced Kil’jaeden and during that encounter
he said:
Kil'jaeden yells: Now I shall succeed where Sargeras could not!
I will bleed this wretched world and secure my place as the true master of the Burning
Legion.
The end has come!
Let the unraveling of this world commence!
This send people into overdrive with speculation.
What was going on within the Legion, was Kil’jaeden going to kick Sargeras and replace him as
the master of the Burning Legion?
and I love that they’ve kept that mindset in, love that Kil’jaeden is working together
with Sargeras but he’s not happy with how things are right now.
As a final note for this trailer and most of you probably already noticed this but the
similarities between Archimonde during Warcraft 3 as he got ready to destroy dalaran and now
Kil’jaeden during Legion as he’s getting ready for dalaran...very nice touch.
and now here we are ready to take the battle to the Broken shore, where we once got our
asses handed to us, now we’re going to fight our way back in, conquer the Tomb of Sargeras
and hopefully put a stop to this Legion invasion.
