Interesting.

Although the writing seemed a little... odd.

That is what I thought too, but sure enough, I checked and there are two copies (of the same book, part 1, that I could find) in the SW lock trainer area. Second one is down the stairs a bit.

I figure Blizzard is just seeding/setting up stuff for next expansion or an expansion down the road. Perhaps these guys could be also be Blizzard trying to provide Warlocks with some current "heroes" or Major NPCs in lore.

Don't forget to check the building by/in Ratchet with all of the Lock trainers (is that even still there?)

Very awesome stuff, though kinda odd that Kanrethad is described as a Human when right now his model is an Orc at the moment. I guess they'll be changing it in the future though if the Council of Six Daggers ever makes prominence.

But yeah this group sounds neat. Hope they're not just another generic, power hungry villain group.

It's kind of interesting to see them justifying class changes in the lore. I wonder if they'll be doing it with anything else.

Since it says they were to meet a year after that book, which means Deathwing must have died right before that meeting, part 2 may be lurking around here somewhere.

Enraged Regeneration? You get so entirely pissed off that mortal wounds heal themselves rather than get in your way.

I could start vomiting battleaxes like the Lurker Below and everyone would just guffaw and say "well yeah, do you not see how PISSED that guy is?" Magic has nothing against the sheer power of angry people in flaming, spiky armor.

New in-game books? Yes! Yes! Yes!

Looks like BoT and Firelands were Horde canon and the Hour of Twilight heroics/Dragon Soul were Alliance canon as well.

Werent all those like everyone canon? I mean like yeah, it could be like that but I doubt that either the druids or the dragons would get too picky in either circunstances

They don't specify if the orc is on the horde or the human is on the alliance either. I assumed both factions pretty much did their part.

I don't really buy the whole "everyone does everything" argument. It feels like a way to weasel out of giving a definitive answer.

It's Blizzard's MO, though.

The Ragnaros kill is an Avenge of Hyjals (and mercenaries) kill.

BoT is the most likely one to be faction specific simply because there is no neutral faction there, and the Horde and the Alliance only happen to focus on third parties from different sides of the battlefield, rather than together.

Hour of Twilight heroics is likely be one faction, I guess.

Dragon Soul is a Wyrmrest Accord (and mercenaries) victory.

The Alliance's three rules on faction conflict:
1) You can't win.
2) You can't break even.
3) You can't leave the game.

Well Fojar, your opinion is apreciated, but I think most people would disagree. But if thats your opinion thats ok


Anyway, I wanna see the Forsaken warlock. Well, all of them but you know what i mean

I say we drop the topic or move it to an appropriate thread.

Anyhow, that emphasis on revisiting Outland is interesting to me. They seem to be revisiting the demon magic behind Illidan's transformation in order to do... something.

Im more interested of where is going the gnome and the Forsaken...

As much as I love clarification, having it be "You guys killed the boss lorewise, but you guys? Naw, your hard work didn't actually happen."
The whining that would take place if an Alliance players favorite boss is killed by the Horde..... err and the Horde may complain if the Alliance gets a boss they like too of course.... heh...

And on topic, what is the secret behidn Illidan's transformations I wonder? Skull of Gul'dan, as it was a drop?

__________________

I'm sure they'll end up reviving Illidan, as the Waters of Youth are the perfect plot device to do so.

The only issue is whom they'll sacrifice to revive him. Remember that important characters require big sacrifices (Sunwell for Kel'thuzad, primarily), so... hm...

I vote for Malfurion!

I tought it was Sargeras Gift. Or you mean the permanent one?

These are Warlocks, they'll sacrifice each other until no one is left but the being they summon from the pit of hell. At that point you (the player) will become his pawn and he'll have you run around doing class quests while he forms his own version of the Shadow Council so that he can usurp power from the Legion.

Interestingly, on wowhead, the object form of the first volume is listed as a quest object. The item version (so you can loot it or something maybe) is junk, though.

Blizzard will probably have Illidan summoned from the void (saying he's half-demon, yadda yadda yadda) and people will do quests for him and what not so he can get vengeance from the Burning Legion.
