A new cinematic is available in World of Warcraft at the end of the quests. You can check it out now!
Since this morning (September 13, 2017), the final chapter of the Argus campaign from World of Warcraft: Legion is available. The quests surrounding “The War of Light and Shadow” deal with the fundamental forces in the cosmos of Warcraft. At the end of the new quest, there is a visit to an instance – at the end of which there is a cinematic.
Spoiler warning: If you don’t want to know what happens at the end, you should not read further.
The Cinematic in the Seat of the Triumvirate
In the cinematic, we witness how Alleria channels the powers of the Void to destroy a fallen Naaru. In the end, she absorbs its powers, although it is not entirely clear whether this really happens of her own free will.
Alleria herself is filled with the magic of the Void and resembles scarcely a regular High Elf – even though her eyes are still blue. Check out the video here:
Interestingly, Alleria had previously experimented with the powers of the Void and was punished for it by being captured by the Naaru Xe’ra (the Naaru that also wanted to purify Illidan).
If you don’t know the underlying backstory yet, you should make a direct trip to Argus and start the final story chapter on the Vindikaar. This ultimately leads into the new dungeon, the Seat of the Triumvirate. From here, Velen, Archimonde, and Kil’jaeden once ruled over the Eredar. And today, only devastation remains at this place and a Naaru that was left behind during the escape from Argus.
Over the millennia, the Naaru grew weaker and weaker until it ultimately became a creature of the Void – and it is exactly this creature that you seek in the dungeon together with Alleria.
Cortyn says: Definitely a cool story development, although I find “Void Elves” a bit “out there” – but what else did I expect on the homeworld of the Draenei? However, I am firmly convinced that using the Void will backfire in the long run. I can’t explain the dark laughter (second 15-17) any other way.
But at least they managed to make a 20-year-old character like Alleria interesting again. I want to know how it goes on …
What do you think about the Army of the Light? We see a problem …
