The Real Enemy May Not Be Sargeras?

  • The pillars of creation were the tools used by the titans to seal away the Old Gods.
    So as in the article it makes sense that their pawns send us out to find the pillars to "stop the Legion", once that job is done we will be fighting to keep the pillars out of the Old Gods hands (or tentacles, mouths, whatever limbs they have)

Not quite. The Pillars were used by the keepers to essentially forge Azeroth and allow it to become what it is now. The reason they are present in Legion is because the races of the Broken Isles used them to create the Temple of Elune and strengthen it, as well as seal the portal for the Burning Legion. We are hunting them now because the Old Gods would want the Legion's portals to be removed. The Old Gods hate the Legion just as much as we do, since eradication of everything by Sargeras includes eradication of the Old Gods.

  • Queen Azhara was created (from an Elven queen to a Naga) by N'Zoth
  • Xavius was created (from an Elf to a satyr) by N'Zoth
  • The Emerald Nightmare is created by N'Zoth 

Other than the Emerald Nightmare, there is no confirmation that N'zoth was the one whispering to Azshara as the explosion happened. It's just referenced as a very powerful entity. It's possible, for sure, but it's not 100%.

N'zoth didn't do anything to Xavius in his creation, it was Sargeras. Sargeras destroyed his body and tortured his spirit. He realised he could be useful and returned him to life as a Satyr.

Also there's a heartbeat in Karazhan specifically the crypts as most people would probably know. Going to karazhan in 7.1, i tend to read into stuff too much that i know nothing about so the heartbeat could of already been answered for all i know, just a thought that it could be related.

Definitely something else to consider. It can't be coincidence that we're going to Kara. 

There are so many people it could be though. Medivh/Sarg tortured many people down there.

i feel like they are looking to much into it on certain things.

 

  • "The boy-king serves at the master's table. Three lies he will offer you."

probably refers to God-King Skovald and his inflated and delusional ego, The 3 lies he tells himself and offers to other Valajar to get them to join are; 1. he is a god, 2. he is a king, and 3. that he is worthy.

"At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming".

This could be a emotional reference to Jaina, where she "died" after losing something important to her:
1. Arthas
2. Destruction of Theramore

Maybe Kalec dies in the expansion, probably when the legion infiltrates Dalaran to steal the Pillars.

I think this refers to Lord Jorach Ravenholdt from rogue orderhall or lord kur'talos ravencrest in black rook hold.

What do you think?

Not even slightly.  It fits better and makes more sense if it's Elisande or Azeroth.  Like the OP said, Sylvanas has already died three times and if they kill the Queen of the Undead for real, where does that leave Forsaken players?

It's Khadgar or Medivh.

Can it be a physical death instead? :(

Most hated character right here. I despise Jaina.

I just feel like it's too simple. They're evidently trying to pose a riddle, so why make it so easy?

Personally, I'd love to find out that this is somehow linked to Anzu and the prophecy of the Raven God.

Sometimes "easy" can be some of the hardest puzzles to solve.

In terms of each of the whispers that Il'gynoth provides I can see how each of them are relevant IF they're true. I'll provide my opinion on what I think each of them means below!

"The boy-king serves at the master's table. Three lies he will offer you." Likely refers to Anduin's new reign, the lies are yet to come I guess.

"Flesh is his gift. He is your true creator." Is the only one I'm not entirely sure about. Possibly Sargeras being our true creator?

"The king of diamonds has been made a pawn." As already mentioned refers to King Magni's return.

"Five keys to open our way. Five torches to light our path." Could hint that we're actually gathering the pillars of creation and delivering them right to our enemy.

"Her heart is a crater, and we have filled it." Likely refers to Jaina seeing as Theramore, her home town, has been obliterated and ever since the event she has used hate to guide her actions.

"To find him, drown yourself in a circle of stars." Could be referring to Velen seeing as he wants to return to his home planet, Argus. The stars being mentioned could be the Naaru.

"The lord of ravens will turn the key." I think is directed at Khadgar, the wielder of Atiesh. Seeing as one of the other comments Il'gynoth makes is about the pillars of creation and Khadgar is who we deliver them to, these two lines could be related.

And, finally, "At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming." I'm sure is referirng to Sylvanas. Her first death was to Arthas, her second was her suicide after Arthas's downfall and her third is yet to come so it would seem. Given there is already quite the storyline going on with her and Genn it will be interesting to see how this unfolds. On top of that she has been seen communing with Helya and trying to steal power from Eyir to try to gain immortality.

Sorry for the lengthy post, just giving my input on what I've interpreted from each of the whispers that Il'gynoth gives you.

Definitely true, I think that's a fair point.

This almost certainly refers to the Curse of Flesh from Yogg.

If you have read any of the books at all especially the war of the ancients trilogy then you already should know what's coming.

I mean, I have read all of the Warcraft novels/comics/encyclopedias etc., but I'm not really sure what you're referencing.

      The new War Within Allied Races was added to the Alpha today and we already have a full look at not only all their customization options, but their dances as well, courtesy of MrGM! You can check out the Earthen's racial abilities here if you missed them earlier. 
      Let's start with the more dynamic feature, with both male and female dances:
      And then there's big amount of customization options, as well as a size comparison with regular dwarves:

      So, are we liking the new Allied Race overall? More than actual dwarves?

      Here's a really cool possibility for the War Within, as a very subtle and mildly mysterious comment from Executive Producer and Vice President for WoW, Holly Longdale, may be hinting at our Warband characters getting a lot more involved in our travels! 
      First spotted by UlthansWrath, Longdale came up to Taliesin & Evitel at the recent London War Within Alpha press event and had a short chat about the Warband screen, when she casually said "wouldn't it be cool if those were the characters you took as your followers in your Follower Dungeons?" After the obvious confirmation from Taliesin and Evitel that, yes, yes it would be cool, she just said "hm" and that was the end of the conversation.
      Obviously this isn't any sort of official confirmation, but considering this is a really awesome idea, it seems likely Blizzard are at the very least discussing it, if not already working on it.

      The Warband system is already great, and this would add a lot to it for players that choose to go solo into dungeons, as it would give them even more motivation to get some great characters in their Warband - even if it was just a cosmetic option.
      So, what do you think, will we be seeing this feature when the War Within launches?

      Affliction is getting plenty of changes today as well, with Blizzard detailing the reasoning behind certain choices.
      Affliction (Source)
      Greetings Warlocks,
      Today, we have various Core and Affliction tree changes hitting the Alpha. We want to take a moment to go a bit more in depth as to what certain changes were made and why. As a refresher, here are the goals for our Core and Afflictions that we posted last week along with some additional goals that we can dig into here.
      Class
      Ensure each capstone is interesting and exciting. Reduce the amount of throughput talents, to free up utility choices. Reduce the number of ranks for talents that don’t warrant multiple ranks. Affliction
      Address the tuning of Malefic Rapture in single-target and multi-target situations. Reduce complexity and the amount of active buttons that contribute to it. Erase the need to choose between a single-target or multi-target profile by adding more adaptability and flexibility. While we cannot go over every change here, we’d like to get a bit more detailed than last week’s update and explain some of the bigger changes coming in this build.
      Class Tree Throughput
      We’re removing a lot of throughput talents from the class tree to allow warlocks to pick up more utility without feeling forced to take mandatory talents to be competitive. These talents aren’t compelling options when placed against utility as they will always be the right answer to have. This allows us to move that power into the specialization trees and tailor throughput-centric talents to be specific to that specialization’s gameplay.
      Malefic Rapture
      In addition to becoming baseline for Affliction, we are introducing new talents that will help Malefic Rapture become the go-to spender for both single-target and multi-target situations. This should also shift Seed of Corruption to being a means to apply Corruption to multiple targets rather than what you spam in dungeons. In addition, we are redesigning Siphon Life to be friendlier to Affliction’s rotation and expect that its new design will make it easier to optimize Malefic Rapture.
      Affliction’s Adaptability
      While we do want Affliction warlocks to have a preferred talent setup for single- versus multi-target situations, we don’t want it to feel like they are powerless if they are in the opposite situation. By focusing on Malefic Rapture being Affliction’s main spender and removing talents that are only valuable in multi-target situations (Soul Flame, Soul Swap, Doom Blossom, etc.), we’re hoping that the Affliction tree feels less punishing to fill out.
      Is This It?
      Not at all. We expect to make changes based on feedback and our own playtesting. We want to get the ball rolling on changes we knew we want to make, so we could start the discussion early on and make adjustments before The War Within launches.
      Thank you all for the continued discussions and we look forward to your feedback!
      And here are the full changes from the development notes:
