    "The light and void cannot live together"
    Well not with that attitude they can't!

      Is that something he says? That's just a saying my friends and I pass around every now and then.

      I loved all 3 windrummers from the novels. Alleria from the tides of darkness. Vereesa from the day of the dragon and sylvanas feom the missions from the frozen throne ä. But seems like allerie didnt get any character development at all.

    I kinda prefer this voice of Locus Walker makes him sound swarthy and mysterious

    • @SuzakuX
      @SuzakuX Před 6 lety +6

      He reminds me an awful lot of Oberon Martell from Game of Thrones. It suits the character perfectly.

    • @Chadling676
      @Chadling676 Před 6 lety +3

      Agree haha. I too like this voice a little more

      But it's yet another hint at N'Zoth and his role in future expansions. They are just building hype... and i'm totally buying it.

    Locus walker: Welcome to the void-oid-oid-oid...
    Alleria: Does it always echo like that?
    Locus walker: No, only when you say the word void-oid-oid-oid.
    Alleria: Okay...Well, we're going to avoid that word *In locus walkers voice* Oid-oid-oid. HOW!?

    Alleria corrupt with the void keeps sounding so so good!

    • @DagothDaddy

      Grey World I hope they don't make her evil cause the whole "good character is now evil" is growing old

      Assassin Cactus true though making an illidan 2.0 would be cool but different of course.

    • @KisiroKitsune
      @KisiroKitsune Před 6 lety +49

      The whole point is she's *not* corrupted.

      Except they say only a few lines later those things she saw are all lies.

    • @massey81
      @massey81 Před 6 lety +4

      The lie was her taking its place, not that he slumbered beneath azeroths waves

  • @xam7536
    @xam7536 Před 6 lety +31

    It sounds like Alleria, not Illidan or Arator, is the Child of Light and Shadow, being touched by both, can call on both and uses her understanding of both to see the truth.

    • @Gohanitos
      @Gohanitos Před 6 lety

      Xam exactly

    • @adellys4920
      @adellys4920 Před 6 lety +1

      Xam still I think she broke a rule or something cuz high elves only used the light. "Anal'alah belore" means "By the light of the Sun". And u know helfs\belfs spam that everywhere :P. Just like nelfs with their "Ish'nu alah"

    • @trueemperor3948
      @trueemperor3948 Před 6 lety +4

      Teglariu Adelina That was just the high elves' way to spite the night elves culture of the moon, as the exiled Highborne began the faith for the sun. It has nothing to do with the holy light.

  • @ka-bar5060
    @ka-bar5060 Před 6 lety +2

    @Finaljustice101 Před 6 lety +1

    These as a companion to the expansion just like the small story art ones for WoD and throughout Legion have been AMAZING. For me at least, they really bring the story and the content together in a way more immersive and fun way. I. LOVE. THESE. THEY ARE INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE!

  • @KomLit
    @KomLit Před 6 lety +3

    I just finished it all. It was truly amazing! No joke! Also to see that the void has this kind of power is scary. I fear we are going into something so evil and powerful. That we well need everything to even stand a chance.

    @tylerscott301 Před 6 lety +76

    42:32 "Pledge your obedience to the light" Excuse me? Xera basically just threatened her life if she didn't conform to obeying her. This solidifies that the Naaru should not be considered innately good. These things have motives that require control of us.

    • @KisiroKitsune
      @KisiroKitsune Před 6 lety +17

      Tyler Scott Xe'ra is the only naaru we've seen acting like that. We have no reason not to trust A'dal for example.

    • @SuzakuX
      @SuzakuX Před 6 lety +37

      The Locus-Walker sums up the alignments pretty much perfectly in this: "You have known the Shadow as nothing but horrors. The Shadow sees the Light in the same way. Neither viewpoint is true. Neither is wrong. The Light seeks one path and shuns all others as lies. The Shadow seeks every possible path and sees them all as truth."

    • @DakuHonoo
      @DakuHonoo Před 6 lety

      and who says the light is good? the naaru are the embodiment of light same as the void lords are of the void, there's no good nor evil in their eternal struggle ... on the other hand, from a human perspective, the light is certainly the true enemy

    • @Mel-eo9ub
      @Mel-eo9ub Před 6 lety +8

      DakuHonoo
      I wouldn't go so far as to say the light is the true enemy. The fact that the shadow sees all paths as true is pretty cool, but it's also just screaming chaos. I know they can't exist together, but I sort of hope we'll find a balance in the end. I mean, look at shadow priests, they use both light and shadow and that's okay. I don't see why that can't be true for the rest of the world. Shadow can give us the power to overcome anything, light can keep the madness at bay, right?

    • @DecayedPony

    Balance is the true path. Both of Light and Shadow. The Naaru and the Void are blinded and can not see what we see. We know that there must be Balance, Balance will save our world and the many worlds beyond from the Legion's hellfire.

    Wow. This is...actually some pretty good ideas for lore. I was afraid WoW would turn into a generic Light vs Darkness fantasy story, but Blizzard has Incorporated some really exciting ideas into their lore. Well done.
