Gift of N'Zoth PlayersBlizzCon World of Warcraft Q&Ar/wow asked Blizzard if the Old Gods were dead

And I think the old gods are an interesting case where, you know, we've defeated one version of them and who knows if another manifestation will eventually take place.

If you don't mind, this is a private conversation.
Leave me alone.
I don't recall welcoming you into my home.

Greetings fellow believer. Do you still hear the whispers?
I cannot see the path forward. We must hope He will show us the way.
I see you.
How could we have been so wrong?
We were blind. We are now blind. I must blind the eyes.
Blind all eyes.
What did we allow him to see? What part of this horror was ours?
Please, whisper to me. We need your guidance.
The silence is deafening.
I heard de rumors. Dey say He is dead. Slain in Ny'alotha.
It can't be. We still carry His gift.
I do not believe mortals could win such a battle.
What we gonna do?
We should be careful. Those who defeated Him, might come for us.
Trust in Him.

We have only the finest, freshest produce!
Fresh cookies, fresh cookies and warm milk here!
Not even the entropy of the universe can beat these deals!
I've got deals so crazy, you'll think I've lost my mind!
For a limited time only, swear your undying allegiance to N'Zoth for additional discounts!

Dark Ranger Velonaradatamined hints of a Velonara questline

I see you remained in Orgrimmar.
We dark rangers were fiercely loyal to Sylvanas. We trusted her... followed her commands.
It is clear that our loyalty was never truly reciprocated.
Some of my sisters and brothers have chosen to remain at the Dark Lady's side. I, and many others, have not.
<Velonara's expression becomes steely. Determined.>
I refuse to be a slave to this torment.
Both the sin'dorei and Forsaken are my kin. I stand with them, and with the Horde.

You: You sound as if you miss your previous life.
Velonara: I was a maiden, pure and true. A young ranger in service of Silvermoon, betrothed to the nobleman of my dreams. Then Arthas came. I fell in battle as the mad prince cut a black scar through the land I loved. But at least I was at peace, I suppose. For a time. Until the Banshee Queen pulled me back from beyond and damned my soul into her service. You'll have to pardon me if I have little patience for imbeciles like Moorgoth, who take for granted what they have and think to find happiness in pain.

Wrathion and Black DragonflightAhead of the Curve

The Old Gods have been vanquished, yet they were only one threat to Azeroth. Many others still loom on the horizon and lurk in the shadows.
But know that from this day forth, the black dragonflight will honor its ancient charge and stand in defense of our world... along with its champions.
I must uphold my father's legacy.
Learn from the past. Look to the future.
Until next time.
Never let your guard down.
You do realize I am a dragon, yes? That I can breathe fire? Just making sure.
I am beginning to understand what drove my father mad.

Cute Alpacasfew more named Alpaca mounts

<The alpaca sniffs the air, excited for the greens in your backpack.>
<Give the alpaca the Seaside Leafy Greens Mix.>
<The alpaca hums gleefully.>
Friendly Alpaca munches gleefully on the Gersahl Greens.

Corruption and Ny'alotha Storypreviously datamined

Time grows short $n, and our spies have yet to uncover anything regarding N'Zoth's plan of attack.
Anduin's spies couldna find N'Zoth. Have ye had any luck yerself?
My Blacktalon operatives have scoured the world to no avail. I wonder..
In my research, I came across references to a place called Ny'alotha. A sleeping city of numberless crimes, where only dark things walk.
Whatever it is, we gotta get Azeroth's titan-made defenses ready. Then ye and our champion need tae find us a target tae point 'em at!
Forge of Wills currently operational. Communication protocol terminated by Keeper Mimiron.

The Forge of Origination was built to remake Azeroth according to the titans' design.
But if N'Zoth corrupts it, he could use the Reorigination Protocol to transform Azeroth into the Black Empire.
We must bolster your cloak's resistance to N'Zoth before you enter Ny'alotha. And we will turn his own scheme against him in the process.

This is more than a mere cloak, $n. It is all that remains of my once proud dragonflight.
Corrupted by N'Zoth in life, they will shield you from his influence in death. Now let us brave his vision once more.
As I researched the Old Gods, I learned that the most effective power to wield against them is their own.
The black dragonflight felt that power all too keenly. Their scales still thrum with it. Which means we can use them to our advantage.

$n, look at the console. N'Zoth never meant to destroy the Forge... he seeks to corrupt it.
MOTHER, see if you can bring our champion back to the chamber. We have much to discuss.

One piece of the puzzle yet remains. See what you can bring back from N'Zoth's vision.
By entering N'Zoth's vision on our own terms, we can push the limits of your cloak in a... relatively safe environment.
We need only introduce a nominal amount of corruption into the chamber to link our reality to Ny'alotha.
A ""nominal"" amount? Lad, have ye lost yer mind? We'll be doin' N'Zoth's work fer him!
I admit that this is a risk... but it is one that we must take. MOTHER can cleanse the corruption once our champion returns.

N'Zoth's influence dwindles. It is only a matter of time before we rid Azeroth of his existence.
But the Void deals in potentials... possibilities. Perhaps this Ny'alotha is not so much a physical location on Azeroth as it is a vision waiting to be made real.

Comment by CarrionCarcassMost of Wrathions Dialogue seems to be related to people spam-clicking him tbh.Comment by PortergaugeWell that's disappointing. Velonara was one of the few notable dark rangers we got to see, and now they've decided to make her hate Sylvanas. Hope we actually get to see some loyal ones in the future.Comment by BwgmonI heard de rumors. Dey say He is dead. Slain in Ny'alotha.
I do not believe mortals could win such a battle.
We should be careful. Those who defeated Him, might come for us.Friendly Alpaca munches gleefully on the Gersahl Greens.Comment by RasaricNow they are ruining the dark rangers by making them traitors as well. The writers have no idea how much they are ruining 15 years of forsaken narrative. Until they let us continue siding with Sylvanas like I have the past 15 years, I will never play this game again. I'm glad I quit.Comment by SnowyHereWith the way they make everyone hate Sylvanas it looks like she'll get Azshara's treatment since Jailor is the "big bad" of Shadowlands. The question is whether she'll survive or not, oh well... I guess we'll know in around 2 years.

Unless this is all a part of some plan to make loyalist NPC's stay alive and simply wait for Sylvanas call.. again, time will show.Comment by jorge2580In my research, I came across references to a place called Ny'alotha. A sleeping city of numberless crimes, where only dark things walk.Puzzle Box of Yogg-SaronComment by DracologyLoyalist don't get a story continuation in Shadowlands but people who kept a raid status effect on get hope for future content. Fun.Comment by SatanxxGreat, just what i wanted for having this ^&*! in my head for almost a year, more useless dialogsComment by DrkZhuoI'm actually glad to be one of the last few who still have His gift; praised be oh great old one!Comment by DrGreatScottSome of my sisters and brothers have chosen to remain at the Dark Lady's side. I, and many others, have not.Comment by wowheadfan555Thank goodness.
I actually liked Velonara and am glad she has listened to reason.
For the Horde.
Down with the dark lady.Comment by catfishmike

Farewell Ny'alotha and the Black Empire.Comment by xenolithixAh, of course this comes to light less than two weeks after I had bought into the idea that the Gift wasn't going to be used again in any way and got it cleansed off.Comment by warsn
Friendly Alpaca munches gleefully on the Gersahl Greens.Comment by MakolaniSyLvAnAs iS eViL
okay okay i get it in da Before the Storm, just stop

Seems like writers can't talk with each other and game looks like an patchwork blanket
- You can be loyalist! Sylvanas is planning something important!
- Nah you need just to kill her and everything will be good
- Horde and Alliance is making good and bad things equally
- No no no, only Alliance is good, even if their hands full of blood and them eating a child on Stormwind square

I'm okay to has Sylvanas as an main villain. But every great villain wants a great story. And minions, of course. Not a pack of traitors who helped her to do the bad things and now they are good ppl because...because why?

i wish i'm wrong and 9.0-etc. will gift us a super plot twist.
