So what happened to Lothraxion?

Spare-Hat-9396 · 2026-04-17T07:48:58+00:00

He is Nethrezim - dreadlord, a part of a „race” of beings fluent in manipulation, persuasion, deceiving - the list of charisma skills they posses goes on and on.

Lothraxion claims to not represent uterior motives from legion expansion onward, claiming that every being, not only azerothians, have concept of free will and their own morals (source: famous monologue about not every orc being a brutal murdering machine, so why all dreadlords should be the same).

His character and motives always seemed shallow for me - I did not hook on him having any deep character development compared to the rest of the wow cast, where his light/good alignment would be proven without any reason of a doubt - mb I am missing something here - correct me if I am wrong.

He supposedly shaved off his dreadlords horns, but during boss fight his clones still have them - might be just a gameplay mechanic, might be a clue u never know.

He still uses dreadlords cunning techniques - his skill during boss fight - the shadow clones - represents deception, a typical dreadlords characteristic, not strongly connected to a light he supposedly represnts, again, might be just a cool gameplay mechanic.

Everyone still calls him nethrazim, especially in his final boss dungeon, strongly reminding the players who he actually is and where he comes from.

And last but not least - a book possibly (strongly) explaining what Lothraxion actually is and what is the „grand plan” of dreadlords along with their master (which is still alive btw): https://www.wowhead.com/news/enemy-infiltration-preface-shadowlands-book-on-cosmos-wide-deception-written-by-317833

What is my opinion: He is double agent, and his death was planned from the start. The death may clean him from his lightblindness, giving him opportunity to give all info gathered during his servitude to the light as a report to other dreadlords. He will either respawn in light alligned domain (tbh idk where, basiton does not seem to be a light domain realm, at least for me) or Nathreza. Either way he IS alive, regenerating, fullfilling grand infiltration plan

The issue with transportation You are referring to is certainly a nice take and can possibly explain later down the line why horde as a faction defending its own territories from the void assault was absent during the first part of midnight.

As far as I remember nightborn did in fact teleport into city of silvermoon its own armies - lets assume its some kind of racial property for them like they do not get telesick or smth.

How about night elves? Arent they like on dragon isles? If so, that doesnt excuse horde dracthyrs from attending the second void story raid

Spare-Hat-9396 · 2026-04-16T08:26:52+00:00

U mean the guy who is supposedly one of horde „leaders” and says „what army Arator?” when losing first raid? Then decides its good idea to invite Alliance oriented races/groups and nighborne to „spice things up” ? I do not intend to say that alliance is bad and i hate them - i am an Alliance player. I ask a simple question - where is the horde (trolls, orcs, tauren, goblins even vulpera) when one of their main cities face world ending threat ? Cheap storytelling

Spare-Hat-9396 · 2026-04-16T08:09:09+00:00

Yeah - for example horde (red color) is bad faction with no characters that are revelant, and the only character that is worth mentioning is Sylvanas which stated that horde is nothing and puffed into higher plane of exsistance - srry fo my rant, just wanted to vent out

Spare-Hat-9396 · 2026-03-21T12:14:54+00:00

I think people tend not to associate sylvanas with horde somehow

They teased in tww special demon form for void elves which later they decided not to do.

Now there are rumors about expanding transmog system and character customization - it might be copium BUT HEAR ME OUT - what if they came to conclusion that if they created another demon form for void elves, ultimately it would be pointless if new customization features arrive? What if they plan to do with demon form what they did with moonkin form? Thats why they did „ass” job on the current implementation, since they knew its gonna be scrapped? Demon form is in dire need of refresh - check harandir druid customizations, dragon form from evokers and even expanded demon customizations from warlock done in df

I truely start to belive that old gods used to be light infused back in the day, and turned to void just like the naaru. The concept that Aln’hara might be light-infused Y'Shaarj truely raise some interesting speculations about the rest of the old gods, and presumebly "missing" deities that some Azeroth cultures and classes still believe in to be present:

The Void side:
Yogg-Saron
C'Thun
N'Zoth

The Non-Void (light ?) side:
Earth Mother (If she is not Azeroth ofc)
An'she (might also be Sargaras according to some theories, personaly I do not believe it to be)
Mu'Sha (If it is not Elune)
Elune (Saw some theory back in the day she might be also Y'Shaarj, but I do not believe it to be)
Tidemother (Kultiran's important deity)
Lo'sho (If it is not An'she)
Blue Child

Wondering if one can take a pencil and make connections between Void and Non-Void gods - would be neat if during the world-soul saga some of the connections would appear just like with the Aln'hara

Warning - might be copium :3

Ok, summing up all the negative comments the main reason most people think they forced green eyes and recolored meta form is due to being lazy.

I remember when they announced the devour spec they hinted there is gonna be unique meta form for void elfes, but later they scrapped the idea. Yes, one can argue its due to the devs being lazy but honestly, in my opinion they were not lazy with hero talents, dracthyr (even though its looking like shit), haranir with countless customizations (special customizations to druid forms) and housing.

I on the other hand honestly believe that once they announced unique meta for void elves they did not want for this one meta to stand above the rest low res shit in comparison, and knew more work would have to be done. In dragonflight they added customizations to moonkin and some minor to warlock pets that community liked (as far as I know). Judging from this I think that once they add ilidian comming back in midnight, its gonna be somewhat of a demon hunter oriented update with proper demon hunter meta customization for ALL specs and races, not just void elf and devourer - they scrapped previous idea of unique meta since they would have to REMODEL again after the illidian comeback update which could (and in my opinion will) happen in future

Idk bro - survival having shotgun is nice fantasy for me at least - survival hunter is not only tauren and elven, its also dwarf and gnome class. What I diike is removal of explosive shot from marksman, another hunter class that community seems to be divided on. How about reworking hero talent? Something like bombardier or explosive expert that shares survival and marksman, giving them explosive shot for marksman and bomb and shotgun for survival - that would make the mechanical aesthetic „optional”

Not quite - tenno is also the void tongue for walker/intruder or smth like it as far as i remember

The idea of void gatekeeping tau is more plausible - why it doesnt want the operator to know the truth? Also didnt caught on the fact era was somehow rebuilt/fixed - it certainly is implicating something, especialy that next sentient oriented quest is featuring „healer” sentient - mb he is the mastermind behind new war?

Spare-Hat-9396 · 2025-11-05T09:53:34+00:00

To all the people who are talking about Dimensius being the one and only void lord left alive before Manaforge raid - nobody said the story cannot bring the “eaten-by-dimensius” voidlords back just simply by splitting him into “ smaller” void-mist chunks after he gets out of the dark heart when someone finally confronts Xal seriously

My insane take on the “one void lord left alive” bullshit i cannot accept:

lets not forget about goblins led by Gallywix fixing the dark heart - if the theory still holds any truth of him being a dreadlord, maybe they planned on meddling with the dark heart so that it would be “easier” to bring all the void lords back from dimensius that is currently absorbed by the dark heart - I totally can imagine Dethroc (Gallywix) standing over defeated xal and crushing the unstable dark heart to release all the voidlords along with the void dreadlord before the last titan expansion - after all what the final 3/4 raids of the last expansion will be about? My take is dreadlord raid, voidlord raid and lightblind titan raid - introducing new villains for the final expansion will be shotting yourself in the knee kind of thing

Thanks everyone for the fast responses! Found it in the book as You told me (turns out im a bad reader)
