Some people gonna be mad. But I for one am so happy to see this outcome 🖤

SABELLIAN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT I LOVE TO SEE IT

Who's more qualified to become the Earth-Warder then the one who's spent thousands of years among those who pray to the Earth Mother?

I hope Ebyssian gets a remodeled dragon form with moose-antlers and Highmountain-inspired decorations

Glad to see that one of the Aspects has not a Human or Elf as a Visage like all the other 4! Let's hope he doesn't die in the next patch. Ebyssian was always my fave from the three

I can't be the only one who teared up when realizing that Ebyssian is finally becoming the new Earth-Warder.

yo i love Wrathion and Sabellian bromance

My hope has always been that wrathion continues to lead us into future expansions like khadgar has. Now he can.

Sabellian finally seeing Wrathion as his brother (even though their actually uncle and nephew)

Love that Wrathion will have more spare time for his hobby new legendary cloak when?

sabellian being the gentle and humble strategist that he always could be warms me in many ways

Yah boy Ebyssian steppin' up! I hope he gets a cool aspect form.

So proud of my boy!!! Loved him since Legion, so glad to see more of him

As much as I expected this outcome, I am happy they took this direction. It makes the most sense

I rooted for Wrathion, but this patch and on Forbidden Reach Ebyssian stepped out and showed that he will be the best as an Aspect and I'm freaking happy to see it written this way with both Wrathion and Sabellian realizing it too ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

as a fellow middle child I'm so proud that Ebyssian, the obvious middle child of the three, could lead them all

Ebyssian always was the best choice. Wrathion is a literal baby & Sabellian is just Neltharion all over again to a certain extent. Glad to see one of the many good things that came out of Legion getting more love.

Go tell Huln in Ardenweald that ya boi made it to the big league.

Long live, Aspect Ebyssian!! For the Dragonflights!!

This cutscene would have been better with a pink princess orc transmog

Oh thank heavens Wrathion gets and keeps a family

He dont wanted to lead, but he is needed 😢

This is simple, but I cried of joy. Sometimes things must be simple to continue. Ebyssian

Love this so much, looking forward to following the black dragonflights story 😍

The player character: Did we won? I cant see

This scene was so beautiful. Well done.

Ayyy, That's amazing, im Happy to see Ebyssian being supported by his fellow brethern

i wanted wrathion :(

I'm honestly surprised they went this route. One that brought a smile to my face.

So beautiful. As many others I hope he is not gonna die soon and instead becoming an earth aspect for long time to see him in action!

I was hoping for dark horse candidate Emberthal but I am glad that Ebyssian was decided to become Aspect, I hope when he does gain that power they give him a unique dragon model with moose antlers!

4 black dragons wander into a void corrupted room yet none are bothered by it 🤔

All of that work put in for Sabellian and Wrathion at the Obsidian Citadel, and both just step aside, pff.🤣. Serious note, cant wait to see the cinematic where all the aspects get their powers back, and Ebyssian gets his Aspect Daddy look. Edit- Spelling.

Quickly everyone pretend to be shocked

I'm still not sure Sabellian's turn toward good nature or "redemption" feels truly earned, but I'm glad to see Ebyssian get the spotlight.

Utimately; the mantle of leader and Aspect goes to the one of the three Black Dragons who never sought it. Also; he is the one with the experience in such a role; guiding and leading the Highmountain chieftains for years. Advising... but never abuseing his position. From late dev replacement for Wrathion to Aspect.

Finally blizzard got something right! Im so happy!

The shivers are real thanks for this ending!!

My boy Ebbysian! I figured it would be him but I kinda feared they would do an asspull and make one of the other two the Aspect in the end.

Man, it saddens me that so many people will look down on this kind of stuff just because it's a videogame. There's so many wonderful stories here. As if the emotions they bring out are somehow less valuable because you don't ingest them through traditional media or a book. The cinematic and the comment section made me really happy, it's nice to know there's others out there who feel the same.

I am so happy with this turn of events! Of course it was expected but still puts a smile on my face❤

Ebyssian is ideal to be an Aspect of the Black Dragon Flight, He's humble, wise, kind and being a shaman he's been with the Earth Mother for many years, i can think of no one better. May he guide the Black Dragons to a brighter future, using the lessons of the past and the cost as a reminder, for meddling with the shadows. But there's still the other Primalists and their other masters so there's more to come.

Honestly kinda wanted Wrathion to become the Aspect but we do know how of a Wild Card he can be, the other is eh, so Ebyssian is definitely the better choice!! As for the Greens, Ysera should've comeback as an Aspect but oh well...

The outcome - no matter how predictable is still the best. The way they relinquished their desire for the aspect position too was done really well. Long live the new Aspect of the Black - Ebyssisn.

honestly Ebyssian is the better choice and it good the two end up growing alot to where they understand that nether of them fit the role of Aspect and knew ebyassian was a better fit then them.

this hit me so hard, I haven't play since cata, but seeing this was sooo good! 1:45 was beautifully done with those exchange of words. Makes me want to come back to the game.

Yes!!! I was hoping there'd be more & Ebyssian would become Aspect; and here it is! The exchange between Sabellion & Wrathion was pretty good too. W's

Ebyssian showed true leadership virtues since DF started. However Sabellian and Wrathion bickered on the throne of their fathers' twisted legacy. The best choice is Ebyssian and I'm sure he will bring back the reputation of his Dragonflight as its great leader.

I knew it. Ebyssian character developement pointed right in that direction.

Witnessing history. It feels like watching dawn of the aspects 2.0

Ebyssian begins his ascent to the rank of Aspect. This is awesome. Sabellian and Wrathion both step down and shows their support to their kin. Beautiful.

I love how this was seen/predicted from the start by the community

How long before hes turned into a raid boss?

I know the Ebysian will be an aspect.

Always the correct choice of the "Brothers".

Even though I wanted Sabellian to be the new Black Dragonflight Aspect. I was fine with the possibility of Ebyssian becoming the new Aspect, as long as he had Sabellian and Wrathion at his side and not them trying to usurp him or stupidly fight each other forever.

Looks like Old Ebonhorn is moving up in the world.

I'm surprised to see how well the comments here are taking this after reading a lot of people being less than happy in the actual Wowhead comments I for one am happy, especially at how expressive this cutscene is

I knew it! i had a gut feeling that Ebyssian would be the new black dragon aspect.

God I love moo dragon so much

Saw this coming half of azeroth away. Ebyssian was the most logic choice to become the aspect.

This.. This actually started to bring tears to my eyes. Not of sorrow, but of hope for the future of the Black Dragon Flight.

called it at start of expansion. im glad it came true and we have a tauren aspect

And here I was hoping it would be Ebyssian as the new aspect from the start. I'm glad it's going to be him and the other two realized they aren't fit for such a position

Ebyssian just kept his head down and basically did work for the last 2 seasons. Right call.

I wish when he recieve his Titan Boon Ebyssian's Horns become like that of High Moutain in his Dragon Form. It would be cool for a black Dragon to have Moose horns.

This was a really good one! Blues were a bit better but both are outstanding. Keep these types of things coming. DF is great so far.

Kinda makes sense that the new Aspect of the Earth would have to be the tauren

And everyone was disappointed that the end Raid cinematic was too short? Well, they forgot the include THIS part.

And this shows that Blizzard still has "it" when writing characters. Ebyssian has been given great character development, and it's just fitting for him to become the new Earth Aspect.

something is fishy about ebyssian! i cant put my finger on it but he always escapes the big battles for something and he left those two in the new raid ... its like he is planning smething also his face looks like a skull? can it be Bwonsamdi?looks very much the same face style painting/tattoo w/e plotting or something xD

Nice to see. Wasn't 100% sure on it since I figure he would've turned the chance down.

Oh thank the Loa, i was afraid they were going to make Sabellian a villian. We have a history with him and I'm glad they didn't take him down that path.

Hell yeah, I knew it would be him as soon as the bickering began. And i don't mind at all... Ebyssian has earned his patience. The patience of the earth...

I took all this to mean Neltharion had begun to go mad long long ago. Like Loken he resisted at first, and in his case it led to him being terrified of the horrors of reality, just like Sargeras and Zovaal. But he initially was trying to fight against them, not realizing he was growing more and more desperate and becoming N'zoth's puppet. And so there really is no legacy of Neltharion to claim, only Deathwing. The real Neltharion was lost long long ago, before the Demon Soul, before Raszageth, he was the greatest mistake of the Titans and gave the Old Gods their perfect herald. I still like to believe that imprisoning the dracthyr instead of killing them was one of the last vestiges of Neltharion clinging on as Deathwing consumed his mind. One tiny bit of him felt fatherly pride for the dracthyr and was able to save them from himself.

Love these cutscenes man. Don't know if WoW ever had so much emotions in ingame cutscenes.

Even when im team Sabellian fully for a 100%...i accept this choice. For Ebyssian as Earth-Warder!!!!!!

I had a feeling this would happen. the best choice for certain; I want the conversations between Ebyssian, Baine and Anduin about their father's legacies.........

I am okay with this outcome. I wanted Wrathion, was opposed to Sabellion, but Im okay with Ebyssian. I think both Wrathion and Sabellion....this shows some good character development. I look forward to seeing where the Black dragons legacy takes them in the future.

Seems like this should've been the cutscene at the end of Aberrus

Can't even be mad at Ebyssian for hiding out during MoP/WoD. He's been right of the thick of things and is no longer hiding from responsiblity.

Ah yeah my boy Ebyssian!!

My dream outcome!🎉

Why do I get the feeling that Ebyssian is going to die horribly? Maybe not soon but characters like him usually meet gruesome fates.

Saw it coming a mile away, the one who doesn't want the crown has it thrust upon them. It's basic, but after the narrative wreck of the Shadowlands basic comes as no surprise.

Ebyssian coronation ceremony commence. New model for his black dragonflight aspect.

Needs an updated model with Antlers and Jewellery in his aspect form or whats the point

I'm actually glad Ebyssian got picked and glad we met him on Legion

This is the right thing for black dragonflight

Dammit, there goes my hopes of Chromie becoming the next Earth-Warder. Kappa.

The only correct answer.

Ha! I was right the first time! Council of three! Although it feels like this was resolved too soon.

When I was sitting there after Sabellian and Wrathion charged into Aberrus, seeing that Ebyssian chose to not follow and rather stayed with Emberthal, my only thoughts were "That's my Aspekt". He was such a great leader during the quests about their flyght and the Dracthyr. This moment, when the 2 "petulant whelps" declared unworthy to be aspects and gave up their fight over the throne, that moment made me cry.

Finally Blizzard telling a story. The old Blizz would have left us on a cliffhanger for next expansion.

can huln highmountain make a cameo give ebyssian a hug

Is it ultra settings? Why some textures look so bad?

This is the storytelling I hoped for during Shadowlands. The characters and their motivations are believable. The dialogue was well written. The pacing was just right. And Ebyssian was set up very well.

MY BOI!!!

oftentimes the best leaders are those that rather not take up that role, but do so when called upon.

Out of curiousity. How come we get these videos now when the Aberrus raid has been out for a week or two? What makes these cutscenes happen if not the raid completion?
