A new cinematic in World of Warcraft provides information on how The War continues. We probably don’t stay on Azeroth.
For a few hours, the new raid “The Liberation of Lorenhall” in World of Warcraft has been live, including the World First Race. It only took a few hours before the first groups sent the final Boss Gallywix to the boards. This not only unlocks the last chapters of the story, but also rewarded with a new video – and it shows how the trip of World of Warcraft continues.
Spoiler warning: If you don’t want to know how to proceed with Patch 11.2, you shouldn’t read more here. You were warned.
Wow Patch 11.1: Gallywix’s control over the cartels
More videos
What can be seen in the Cinematic? The Cinematic shows how Lorenhall continues with the fall of Gallywix. Gazlowe thinks about the city again and comes to the conclusion that he has to take responsibility himself. Together with the other leaders of the cartels, he takes care of the future of Lorenhall – equal to the others.
After this sequence, we get to empty. We see an astral changed by the emptiness that holds the heart of darkness, the weapon of Xal’Athath. In the background you can see a large, purple whirlpool that is very likely to show the remains of a planet. But see for yourself:
So where’s the next step? The last seconds of the video make it quite clear that the next stop on the trip is probably the home world of the astrals – K’aresh. Similar to Argus (“Legion”) at that time, however, there should not be much left of this planet, after all, it was destroyed by the emptiness, which led to the emergence of the astrals – because the previously physical beings that were changed by the magic.
K’aresh was destroyed by the empty prince Dimensius. Incidentally, this is the same empty prince, who has also appointed Xal’Athath as his herald – so the puzzle parts are composed. We have the whole story of Xal’Athath here for you.
This is probably also confirmed by the leak, which already existed in the beta of “The War Within”. At that time, some file names suggested that there would be a raid around the astrals. Since patch 11.2 will also bring a new area, the next travel destination now seems to be set in stone.
Why do we travel to K’aresh, which is almost certainly explained in a quest series, but which will probably only come into play with patch 11.1.5 or 11.1.7.
What can be concluded from the Cinematic? The video suggests that the astrals and Xal’Athath – unlike at the beginning – do not cooperate with each other. The heart of darkness seems to have fallen into the hands of someone who is not necessarily well to speak to Xal’atath. Actually, Xal’atath wanted to have the heart of the darkness repaired by Gallywix. This was also successful, but the heart was then removed by the astrals.
We will probably find out how things will go on in a few weeks. Because while we have just started patch 11.1, Blizzard is already in the process of testing the next three patches internally. The development is advancing.
