Silithus in World of Warcraft is undergoing significant changes. We reveal what is happening with the old quests and NPCs.
The next update of World of Warcraft, Patch 7.3.2, primarily introduces the new raid Antorus, the Burning Throne. In this, the story of Legion reaches its final chapter, as the final boss is none other than a true Titan from the planet Argus.
Spoiler Warning: If you do not want to know how things progress with Legion, then click away quickly now.
Silithus receives “Timewalking” feature
However, the battle against Argus also has another opponent. The leader of the Burning Legion, Sargeras, will personally appear and want to get involved. The fight ends with Sargeras being captured and banished, but not before severely wounding Azeroth – as he plunges his sword into the home planet of the player characters.
The blade strikes the desolate area of Silithus and alters it permanently. The entire area will be tainted with the “blood” of Azeroth and surely attract a lot of obscure creatures. It will likely serve as the “transition event” for the next expansion or at least continue the story thread.
Silithus will share the fate of several old zones that have been altered throughout the story of World of Warcraft – such as the Blasted Lands or Theramore in the Dustwallow Marshes. Essentially, the zone has evolved. However, those who still want to experience the “old” version can do so. At the entrance to the area, the Bronze Dragon Zidormi will be standing. Anyone who wishes can simply speak to the dragon lady and visit Silithus “before the wound in the world.”
The old quest lines, Ahn’Qiraj, and other enemies of the area will not be completely lost – even if time has progressed for Silithus. Those who wish can also return to the desert afterwards.
Do you think it’s good that players can still visit the “old versions” of some zones? Or should it be more consistent in WoW and a change be mandatory for all players?
Have you seen in which other games Blizzard characters have ended up? Quite a theft!
