lalalal intro song lalalalalla Hello everyone!
Just a heads up, in this video we’re going to be talking about the whispers of N’zoth
and what they might mean for the story.
That does mean we’re going to be talking about all the story that’s available in
Dragonflight rigth now, including all the renown campaigns.
Say that you still need to do them and don’t want them spoiled, then be warned...spoilers
ahead.
The storyline in THaldraszus had us help out the bronze dragonflight as they were dealing
with an attack from the infinite dragonflight.
Resulting in Chromie and Eternus tumbling through time.
When running after them we go further and further back, all the way to the days of the
black empire.
The days in which the old gods ruled the world of Azeroth.
“muhahhahaha”
Although in this specific moment, they’re still fighting for dominance with the elemental
lords who would lose the fight and become enslaved.
For a while it would be the old gods that dominate the planet until the arrival of the
pantheon.
The titans going across the universe trying to wake up more of their kind.
Bringing order to the planets, to the universe as they went along.
The old gods would lose their war against the titans and the keepers.
Their enslaved elemental lords were send off into their own newly created elemental planes.
The elements left behind evolved into what we’d call the proto-dragons while the old
gods were locked away in subterenean prisons.
This history is know to us and yet we should be careful as the information provided by
the titans about these days are supposedly not truth.
“ All historical records documenting the advancements of the Black Empire are to be
purged.
Paint that age as one of chaos and misery, a pernicious blight that we keepers eradicated.
With the Old Gods locked in confinement, there should be no evidence available to contradict
our assertions.
Surely if you care for these mortals, you would not wish to see them led astray into
darkness.”
As the edicts of the prime designate, volume 742 tells us.
That’s not the subject for today though.
Today we’re going to talk about some of the whispers that are thrown at us while being
in this time period.
You got your observing C”thun “Your friends will abandon you.”
Maddening Yogg-saron You will be alone in the end.
and piercing Y’shaarj...
Your allies will leave you behind.
Not any new material, these whispers have been thrown out before...but then there’s
the knowing presence of N’zoth...
Knowing Presence — N'zoth “I... know you.
What you were.
What you will yet be.
Deeper, deeper its roots will reach.
Welcoming our embrace.
With many eyes, they will see again.
They will drink, and be uplifted.
You will follow him to the deep places.
The dark waters will flow in his wake.”
Her dreams sing beneath the surface.
Our dreams.
Our song.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to these whispers, the void deals in a thousand
truths after all so per usual all I can give you is my take.
Maybe offer some insight with extra lore attached.
By all means let me know what you’re thinking aswell.
I... know you.
What you were.
What you will yet be is not cryptic but it does say a lot.
N’zoth the knower recognises us.
We’re here in the past, some of us perhaps still sporting his gift, others merely touched
and cleansed afterwards and by gazing upon us, he can see what came before and even what
will be.
I’m not sure if that necesarly changes anything of the story told so far, I don’t know if
that’s the point.
Rather I’d say the point would be that his whispers not only apply to the past where
he’s in, but they can also apply to the future, the future he has not witnessed yet,
the future that we don’t know yet.
Say that it is about him knowing us even back when, knowing that by the time we confrront
him within Nyalotha and he’d know full well that he’d lose... that couly imply that
he didn’t lose rather he’s playing one of the thousand possibilities in which the
void would still come on top.
On top of that we got timetravel going on, the possibility of the timeline not changing
but that’s just a whole lot of headache waiting to happen.
So this line...either it opens up the door for our N’zoth to whisper about things yet
to come or perhaps he knew more then he let on during our confrontation and didn’t actually
lose anything...
“My vision shall be made real.
Complete the circle.
Open the way.
For an old god who claims to see everything, you are blind to the threat before you.”
Her dreams sing beneath the surface.
Our dreams.
Our song.
For the Her, I’m putting my money on the world soul of Azeroth.
That titan spirit inside as Sargeras coming upon a different soul has been described like
this: He was drawn to a remote corner of the Great
Dark, where cold VOid energies radiated out from a black and desiccated world.
There, Sargeras found enormous beings he had never seen, festering across the world’s
surface.
These where the Old Gods, and they had embedded themselves in the world and shrouded it in
a veil of Void Energies.
With growing horror, Sargeras realized that this was not just any world.
He heard the world-soul dreaming within its core.
But these were not the joyous dreams SArgeras recognized from other world-souls – they
were dark and horrific nightmares.
The Old Gods’ tendrils had burrowed deep, enveloping the slumbering titan’s spirit
in shadow.
“Her dreams sing beneath the surface.
Quiet now, but her voice will awaken the others.
- Saezurah “ That line is from Saezurah, an automa oracle
of Zereth Mortis.
This and some other bits and pieces has people wonder what exactly is hiding within Azeroth.
Could it be that the prescribed spirit of Azeroth could actually be a so called first
one rather then a titan?
Well again in the world of speculation anything goes but a lot of sources would have to be
wrong about what they’ve spoken with.
Think for example a magni bronzebeard or how the blood of argus worked similarly to the
blood of Azeroth, Azerite.
There’s a lot of sources that describe her as a titan, but again retcons are not impossible.
We also have the description of the time when Aggramar found Azeroth:
It was during his long and lonely journeys that Aggramar sensed something extraordinary:
the tranquil dreams of a slumbering world-soul, billowing across the cosmos.
The song of life led him to a world that the Pantheon had not yet discovered, a world they
would later name ‘Azeroth.”
Nestled within the world’s core was one of Aggramar’s kin – one far more powerful
than any yet encountered.
The spirit was so mighty that Aggramar sensed its dreams even through the din of activity
that rattled across the world’s SUrface.
Yet as Aggramar drew closer to Azeroth and beheled the world, horror seized him.
Void energies shrouded the world’s surface like a layer of diseased flesh.
From the ruined landscape rose the Old Gods and their Black Empire.
Miraculously, the nascent titan’s spirit remained uncorrupted, but Aggramar knew it
was only a matter of time before it succumbed to the Void.
The whisper is telling us that the old gods have been taken over which I would say applies
to this timeframe.
They are in control and would corrupt the world for millenia to come until the arrival
of Aggramar.
If you want to take this whisper into the future you do open up some more interesting
possibilies as you now we gotta wonder who Magni has been comunicating with.
The world soul was judged to be uncorrupted by Aggramar and the works of the titans and
their keepers were aimed at giving Azeroth a chance to heal and grow.
They brought order, imprisoned the old gods, put machines in place to keep that spirit
gowing and growing...
but this was the first time they had tried to do something like this.
A Sargeras thought that there was no other option but purging once a titan spirit got
infected by the old gods.
Was he right and the pantheon wrong?
Then the part about her dreams... the origin of the domain known as the emerald dream is
a bit vague.
Some say that keeper Freya wove the Emerald Dream into being from nothing.
Others claim that this strange place had always existed in some form, a dream born from Azeroth’s
slumbering world-soul.
It is said that Freya tapped into this realm and molded what would become known as the
Emerald Dream as a way to commune with the nascent titan.
Their dream, their song, the old gods connected to the emerald dream and the domain has been
given a part in the story of dragonflight.
The primalists have been on the attack trying to get in there and find the seed hidden by
malfurion and tyrande.
Ysera has come back from the Shadowlands through the emerald dream with Malfurion taking her
place in Ardenweald.
Merithra must step of the shadow of her wings and find her place as leader of the green
dragonflight.
A lot of storylines connected to the emerald dream...
“What is it my love?
Just a feeling that this time will be different.”
“Deeper, deeper its roots will reach.
Welcoming our embrace.”
Been trying to link this whisper to the black empire time period but I can’t really think
of roots reaching down and welcoming their embrace.
Maybe the corpse of Galakrond that’s been seeping into the ground?
There are examples later that fit.
The dragon isles have been shut down for a while because of the world sundering.
This happened due to the night elves messing around with the well of eternity.
The war of the ancients played out, land sundered apart and illidan made a new well.
To cover that one up the aspects planted the world tree nordrassil and from the boughs
of nordrassil did they start to plant happy little world trees across azeroth.
One of them in Northrend touched yogg-sarons prison which caused the emerald nightmare
to happen but that storyline seemingly played out already.
Why have N’zoth repeat it again unless its purpose is to show that he’s able to predict
the future?
If we draw the whisper into the current storyline then another example is easily found but surely
they wouldn’t mess with the night elves again...right?
Surely this time will actually be different?
And how would it even fit considering the old gods are seemingly cleansed of the world
of Azeroth and send back to the domain of the void...
Curious the one whisper I couldn’t really find a good answer too, perhaps you have any
ideas?
With many eyes, they will see again.
They will drink, and be uplifted.
When we were discussing what would make for a good end boss for dragonflight, many fingers
pointed towards the one and only Galakrond.
A proto-dragon that mutated in the days before dragons were even a thing.
The being that united our original future aspects together with keeper tyr.
A creature that grew many eyes but why?
Why did Galakrond mutate and become such a problem...
Welllllll that was because of Yogg-Saron but also a bit because of Keeper Tyr.
You’ve probably the ran the halls of infusion a couple of times now.
Deep beneath tyrhold, its structure was built upon an ancient wellspring, the waters of
which were channeled by Keeper Tyr to feed the Life Pools of the red flight.
Khajin the Unyeilding seethes with hatred for Keeper Tyr for tampering with the ancient
wellspring beneath Tyrhold.
Waters that once flowed with the eternal essence of Azeroth have been polluted by order magic.
Khajin would see the world freed from the malignant legacy of the titans...at any cost.
And to compliment all of this, here’s a report send by Tyr to keeper Loken
Brother Loken,
As you requested, I offer the following report on the progress toward our objectives.
I am pleased to say that the Halls of Infusion are now operational.
Though the work of imbuing Order magic into the wellspring is only beginning, I remain
optimistic that the process will prove effective.
Already we are detecting reduced levels of contamination.
I hope your investigation into how Yogg-Saron compromised these living waters will yield
answers.
In the meantime, we can be assured that the evolution of another Galakrond will not be
triggered by consuming unfiltered water.
Once purification is complete, an additional benefit will be found in offering the infused
water to dragonkind.
By ingesting the water (or causing their eggs to absorb its effects), it should be possible
to keep even the most willful dragons aligned with the titans' philosophies.
Our efforts to bring the proto-dragons in line have faced resistance, but I am formulating
a strategy to speed the process along.
Construction of the facility atop the Halls of Infusion is proceeding apace.
Though the station is to be designated Uldorus, I must reluctantly report that the dragons
have taken to calling the structure by the name Tyrhold.
I will do my best to ensure our titan-forged workforce does not also adopt this embarrassing
pseudonym.
But as of late, they seem to be expressing more and more opinions of their own.
In closing, let me underscore once again how fervently I disagree with the assertions of
Prime Designate Odyn concerning the unsuitability of the Dragon Aspects.
I have every confidence that they will prove fervent allies in our shared goals of keeping
the world structured and disciplined.
Ever your friend,
Keeper Tyr
These waters were touched by yogg-saron which lead to the corruption f galakrond but we
also read about tyr infusing the waters with their order magics.
Do they know all of this DO they know that they’ve been drinking the manipulation juices.
If and when we manage to get Tyr 2.0 up and running, will they have questions for him?
The proto-dragons defied the will of the keepers and
their allignment to order, but that didn’t stop tyr from experimenting upon them.
He studied carefully how they took in certain elements and questioned if there were any
limits to the powers or elements they could absorb.
He’s blaming yogg-saron for Galakronds mutation which might be fair, those many eyes across
his body definatly scream void.
Im still the proud owner of N’zoth’s gift myself... but where did the necromancy part
come from.
Why did galakrond get the power to raise undeath?
What other experiments did our tyr perform...
So according to N’zoth, the eyes will see again.
They will drink, and be uplifted, a return of Galakrond perhaps?
But what will they drink caus surely a Gul’dan isn’t going to show up with a bunch of demonic
blood...
You will follow him to the deep places.
The dark waters will flow in his wake.
I want to do a seperate video with all the hints that guide us into potential future
stories, but one of them should be obvious.
“Razageth’s reckless haste cost her life and they will not make that mistake again.
They will regain their strength and choose their next moment carefully.
Then we must take the fight to them.
Strike before they’re recovered.
That will be difficult.
Iridikron’s mastery of the earth will harbor them and keep them out of our reach.”
Our big boy threat so far which started with the unexplained primalists and razsageth followed
by the release of her siblings.
Fire, Ice and then the hunger of the earth await down below.
The dark waters will flow in his wake, potential for the events with Iridikron leading to something
with Galakrond, maybe even those roots and hopefully also a bit more nuance when it comes
to the conflict as so far,we just allign ourselves with the will of the titans.
We still need to dive into the primalists point of view.
Razageth and the others refused to embrace the will of the titans and that conflict lead
to dark deeds and eventual imprisonment but the core problem is still being forced to
follow an ideology.
How much different was it for the elements to be enslaved by the will of the old gods
or to be enslaved by the will of the titans.
Us mortals prospered in a world ordered by the keepers and i’d still argue that the
days of the black empire wouldnt exactly be healthy for any of us...but from the elements
point of view?
For the incarnates?
We can see where they come from...
That’s what I’ve got for you with these new whispers and like I said, there’s many
ways of looking at them.
For example, some have connected the clutchmate of ysera and alexstraza to make a return.
Some connect the many eyes to y’shaarj returning and per usual, there’s a lot of different
ways of looking at this information.
Also gotta wonder where xalatath and Azshara are hanging about...It’s nice to have a
bit of mystery going on.
This also got me curious about the whispers of Illgynoth again, but I’ll dedicate a
different video to that.
SO for now thank you very much for watching everyone!
