In german Xal'atath calls you "mein Herz" when you part ways. Which freely translates to "My love". Xal'atath romance confirmed bois!

"And if any shadowy weapons ask you to do favors for dem in de future... I suggest you decline." Next time remember Talanji's wise words.

N'Zoth places a tentacle on my Blood elf Priest. Yeah I know exactly where this is going.

Blizzard staff: we need an internal conflict Blizzard: make sylvanas worse Staff: yea but why Blizzard: *snorts a line of coke* N’ZOTH!!

"We will face some of my brothers in this concflict. Their power will be mine! They will pay for what was done to me long ago." - Xal'atath.

If they have Nzoth as the last boss of BFA I'll be disappointed. He's been pulling the strings for years and deserves his own expansion, hopefully we'll see the return of the other old gods in their true forms.

They do not die; they do not live. They are outside the cycle.

28:10 I literally thought Anduin would say "We are so screwed." :D

So I was thinkin' about Il'gynoth's whispers and Ogmots dream journal after doing some stuff on the PTR and it occurs to me: Il'gynoths whispers were super consistently about N'zoth, BUT ONE "Flesh is his gift, he is your true creator" The Curse of Flesh was created by Yogg-Saron right? So, hot take WHAT IF YOGG SARON IS ALSO STILL ACTIVE? Sylvanas was impaled on Saronite, the blood of Yogg-saron. Although there was no indication that Saronite did this sort of thing, what if Sylvanas were somehow an unwitting avatar of Yogg-saron? AND IF THE BOY KING TRULY SERVES AT THE MASTERS TABLE, HE'S BEING CONTROLLED BY N'ZOTH FACTION WAR IS A SHAM THE OLD GODS ARE FIGHTING GET HYPE

Game of thrones Episode 2 got leaked? NAH, I NEED SOME NOBBEL IN MY DAILY LIFE

N’zoth had a better voice in the warbringers video. I wonder what xal’atath is gonna do next? You should make a video about all the old gods words that we’ve heard so far and what has been confirmed and not.

Player character: I'll just hand this evil old god artifact over to this morally dubious warchief. What's the worst that could happen? Ji Firepaw: _Am I a joke to you?_ Player: _Yes._ Ji: :(

"receive my gift" then we wake up with a bulky headband with an eye on he made in arts and crafts class .it would be cool if those who accept him got say extra eyes option or something in the barbershop

I really hope it's not- "Blizzard: Well, it's not MoP because she's waging war on LIFE...not the Alliance...yeah...Life itself."

so excited to see how they pull off the black empire stuff!

Becomes warchief of the Horde. Starts unnecessary conflict. Oppresses other Horde leaders who disagree. Seeks out help from Old God powers when things aren't working. What a monster that Garrosh was! Wait...Sylvanas did literally all of that too on top of plague spreading and raising undead without free will? Well, she has zombie breasts so that's okay.

I think the Blade of the Black Empire will be Sylvanas's Frostmourn.

Will we team up with N'Zoth against Aliance and Horde?

Nightborne logic: sure our people might have split the world in half, summoned demons, and hid behind a shield while others fought for survival, but Tyrande was mean!

"the boy king serving at the master's table" Its interesting listening to those Il'gynoth whispers now we're in Shadowlands. The five keys you'd assume are the sigils perhaps now. The old gods definitely knew SL was coming anyway. Some interesting lore stuff on its way you'd hope!

His devoted outnumber the sands... THE STARS!

Looks like it's time for the Alliance to start a crusade.

Nobbel can you show us all the important NPC's that have N'zoths eyes on them? I'm curious who serves him, and if it's direct or indirect servitude.

When you don't have the headset on for a minute and really think it was Nobbel who screamed "I AM A GOD!!".... While i did a silent nod.

I can't wait to hear what you think about the datamined dialogue concerning Nazjatar. Now THAT'S where the really juicy stuff is at (and the "war" campaign).

11:24, I think you mean Al'Akir in Uldum

I really hope they do more than just “Literal Garrosh 2.0” with Sylvanas. She’s already way down that path: using old god powers to achieve goals, making use of the underground facility, casting out other horde leaders... I sincerely hope that there’s some sort of plot twist here that we’re not seeing.

These videos > stream highlights imho. Love your work

i still think that the wholle Xalathat thing is tied to Alleria... SHe is part of the Alliance. She is a VOID elf. And she is bordering on servitude toward the void... or becoming something more than just a void elf. Maybe with thousands of years of void energy coursing thru her. SHe could be a god.. She is part of the alliance now. "Serving" the boy king. Making him serve at the masters table. Would be easy for someone of the void to manipulate someone like him.. Young.. Pure.. Infatuated with light. And i have a feeling that because of things going.. The reason why Sylvanas has that dagger... Is that she is going to use it to seal Alleria into it. Mirroring the story of Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver. Which in turn, creates a vengefull void lord, Alleria into Xalathat over thousands of years of use. And that vengefull creature... is going to be Outside fate. And doing things that will change Azeroth in ways that nobody could see. I mean we just freed a creature that was inside the dagger... that was in it for a reason. There has to be a reason why she was in there.... Other than just... Stuff. Sylvanas uses it against a void engulfed Alleria. Seals her inside the blade. The blade is hidden.. gets stolen. Is sent thru thousands of years in the past. Since Old Gods can manipulate time... somehow. Rhonin, red dragon and Rexar going back 10,000 years tot the war of the ancient is a reason why this is plausible.. ANd over those thousands of years.. SO much sacrificing. Blood. Death. Madness and anger over being sealed.. Warped and erased what Alleria was.. And she becomes that thing in the dagger. And then gets freed in Bfa. Going Full circle. Xalathat is free... But Alleria is trapped.. Xalathat is free to do whatever it wants.. Being outside of fate. And able to do some serious damage that nobody is able to see. Especialy not the black dragonflight. Like the attack on Chromia. ANd maybe other things as well.

26:15 to find him drown yourselves in the circle of stars. I'm surprised nobody thought of that

''Six seats at the high table. Six mouths that hunger. One will consume all others.'' I think this six people are the current leaders of the Horde which represent 6 other main Horde races at the table. This excludes Forsaken since Sylvanas is one of them and is their ''master'' If true, by the end of the expansion it may happen the whole ''one will consume all others'' meaning Sylvanas will kill all other leaders, possibly with Xal'atath. Saurfang and Baine are already basically having ropes around their necks, and Lor'themar, Gallywix, Ji Firepaw, and now Talanji as the final leader since trolls have been leaderless since Vol'Jin died so she's pretty much now the leader of all trolls in the Horde not just Zandalari, they could not be far behind. This makes ''six sit at masters table'' as it was told in one of the prophecies. All of this makes the most sense to me and considering everything Sylvanas has been doing might very well turn the rest four leaders against her to follow Saurfang and Baine. Im rather sure something along those lines is likely to happen

So in a way... the Well of Eternity was actually an Azerite Lake. 🤔😳

I'll miss you Knifu! I should have used you more in Legion (but I mostly play Holy).

I'll always eat up any and all Old God content.

#DontMakeXalatathAboss We must not hurt the knaifu

Nice videos! Keep on :)

Wonder what N'zoth will look like once we face him.

Fun fact: the first time how we know how n'zoth looks is in Hearthstone's expansion whispers of the old gods

I've gotten N'zoth's whispers on characters that haven't done the quest and I had the eye removed off the one character that did it.

Can you make a updated version of sylvanas story please

Going by what is going on so far it appears Sylvannas is aware of something we are not privy to. The plot of the story line appears to be heavily Night Elf centric along with the Naga (Night Elf decedents) playing their part. A story twist could be coming. But i have no idea what is going on.

Blizzard: We're not doing Garrosh 2.0 Also Blizzard: *Does Garrosh 2.0*

Oh man it would be cool if the final battle against the banshee queen was like this insane trap raid and like mejatorque kept trying to use this fail safe port which just kept teleporting the raid and the enemies into the middle of major alliance cities.

According to what N´zoth says about 6 seats at the table. What about the Pantheon?

can't wait to see how's the expansion ending.

nobbel have u done a lore video on the start of wow to now in bfa? I'm only asking cause i just started playing in legion and i love the story lines and would like to know what happened before legion and everything in-between lol.

@ 2:42 ordered Azeroth looks like a baby in a womb with mount hyjal as its head covered by its arms, pandaria as its back, and the northern tip of the eastern kingdoms looking like its feet. This would also make the well its umbilical chord and northrend its placental sac.

I always assumed the old gods prisons to be giant labyrinthine tombs to be under the oceans. Looks almost like N’Zoth could just swim over the one in the Warbringer trailer. Not how I envisioned it. 😉

Now that we know about Shadow Lands and the drought of souls to everyone, but the Maul, I am thinking they are the 6 seats.

Azshara _did_ show us the way... x)

10:32. ROFL I wanna see this scene played in WOW.

"The light has struck a bargain with the enemy of all"....one of my favourite twisting whispers from N'Zoth at Cruicible of Storms. Implies interesting lore twists, what do you guys think about it?

Wanted to point out at 2:36 the map has a face image on the map buttom right can u see it. It's a druid form.

how do i start this whole questline? i must have completely missed it whilst playing through bfa.

hey Nobbel87 could it be possible for the dagger to be used on the Jailer ? the lord of death? and sylvanas wields it? Empowering her even more?

old and unrelated question... why is the mouth of a lion beside the throne in Stormwind have his mouth open and all others are all closed?

Void elf druid that take on the forms of Naga! Just an idea.

Skinny noodle and buff noodle. Thanks Hazel.

I feel like "her third death will usher in our coming" is still yet to be realized in 2021. The Old Gods are not done!

I still wonder why Old Gods wanted to bring Sargeras to Azeroth. It made more sense when they were described as more powerful than Titans but now that we know that Sargeras can split planets with ease, it sounds the most stupid plan ever. As we see in current time, they could have eventually weakened their prisons to the point that they could have escaped if not for outside interference. If they spent their efforts on hiding Azeroth from Legion and hindering demons should they find the planet, it's inhabitants would have had less reason to get stronger. Elves wouldn't have been nearly as strong and prepared if Burning Legion never found out about the planet and Deathwing and possibly even Aszhara could have been corrupted with promises of limitless power. The planet would have been theirs but instead they wanted demons to cause enough destruction so that they could escape sooner.

These guys are basically Lovecraft cosmic horrors. I thought the whole point was that they were so far beyond us, we didn't even register to them, and just the knowledge of their existence was enough to destroy us all.

I love being redpilled by Nzoth. The story telling is too good for the state of the game :(

N'zoth must be talking of the cosmic powers (six in the table) since it's so clear that G'huun isn't even an old god but an avatar that reflects them. Sylvanas is waging war against LIFE therefore she is the champion of death. Order was the efforts against Burning Legion (Disorder) and you (the hero) are the champion of light and N'zoth is the champion of the Void. "Six seats at the high table. Six mouths that hunger. One will consume all others." The last contents are the Light and the Void (Sylvanas will surely be dealt really soon therefore Life and Death aren't a thing [unless you think of it as an alliance between life and light and death and void which is kinda whatever situation) so there will be the one mouth to consume all others. Such clear symbolism.

Hey guys I have a small question. We didn't really kill the other old gods right? yog-sarron and c'thuun. we just re imprisoned them right? or did we actually manage to take them down once and for all?

Blade is capable of containing an old god. N'Zoth is trapped in a prison. Perhaps traveling within the blade would allow N'Zoth to slip out of his prison. :)

Apparently we talk in one sentences. Which convey an action. That leads to another. Anon green text is leaking

Nice water strider ya got there Nobbel. Be a shame if something... happened... to it.

@Nobbel87 and we have now confirmed that n'zoth is actually the strongest old god and doesn't use void, he uses shadow

What if you don't want to deliver Xal'atath to Sylvanas and keep it to yourself? Would it have an impact?

Just give us the emerald fuckin' dream

I want to keep the gift of N'zoth in case of future lore shenanigans but goddammit i want to see my helmet.

Where do you even find the place to start that quest line?

I love your videos, but some times I feel you skip over important plot points. You mention the "well of eternity drastically effected the land and a race called the night elves". You should have mentioned that Trolls ruled most of Azeroth after the fall of the Old Gods, and that some of these Trolls lived around the Well of Eternity. The well eventually evolved those Trolls in close proximity to the well into the Night Elf race. Also I think the only Old God who corrupted Death Wing, and made him create the Dragon Soul was Nzoth. I haven't seen anything to say that Yogg Saron and Cthunn had anything to do with the plan and may have been inactive until the sundering damaged their prisons.

Maybe this Nzoth's eye is just 1 eye with 6 more eyes.

*looks at my shadow priest friends* your not gonna stab me in the back right?

"The circle of stars made flesh". No comment about this? I think it's quite important. are the heroes of Azeroth the circle of stars now as N'zoth seems to be referring to us?

A very *SHINY* crab

the only female character who has died twice was the Sylvanas, it would make sense to be the one he talks about. even though she already died 3 times, but only two as undead and being revived by the valks.

what's with the subtitles? why do they scurry so fast from 7:00? =/

So at the beginning of B of A / end of Legion there were six Horde Races Orc, Tauran, Undead, Troll, Blood elves, Goblins sitting at the Warchief's table. yes they are all allies but each faction has a their own core values and agenda. also the Undead are the only race capable of "consuming" the other races and converting them.

Hey Nobbel, longtime fan, I have a question: was the well of eternity basicly azerite? Since the blood of Azeroth is Azerite, or does it now crystalize because of Sargeras' corruption?

How do you get the questline? I've been killing Naga during dailies and nothing :(

When will the Alliance be the bad guys? I feel for the Horde in that this is the second time a leader had apperently fallen to or is trying to exploit the powers of the Old Gods. And we already know how that is going to end.

I want to see mechagon lore

In His House at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

Don't know if it has been said, but "at the hour of her 3th death, she usser in our coming" could it be Xal'atath? 1st death when she became the blade. 2nd death when her powers was drained for Sargaras blade. 3th death incoming?

Eyeballs everywhere

Notification squad for life

Somewhere somehow we screwed up the timeline, please take us back to Mists of Pandaria I promise we'll do better, I'll do every daily just please give us a second chance

“She’s not the last, but she’s not the first. Drown her and you will see” -N’Zoth Anyone have any speculation on this line?

I like queen aszhara but for such a powerful mage, why didn't she just teleport herself up above the water?

Why Vashj left Azshara for Illidan? Not known?

The 6 mouths are the 6 original factions races/leaders in my humble opinion.

isnt yogg'saron still alive though?

I wonder if the forgotten one that Arthas fought was a part of N'Zoth

Al'Akir in Uldir? Whot? I didnt raid much mythic but pretty sure he was never there?

Who is that void elf?

The 6 seats are IMO: Y'shaarj N'zoth C'thun Yogg'saron Xal'athath and Elune. Furthermore, Sylvanas being given the blade doesn't mean she will keep it. I think Anduin is going to take it from her and get corrupted.

Six seats at the high table. Six mouths that hunger. One will consume all others... First thought - the Pantheon

all hail the true warchief garrosh hellscream
