We FINALLY Know What's On The Other Side of Azeroth

The Arathi of Hallowfall hit Alpha like a storm of Light and metal. But the more we uncovered, the more down right insane their lore got. Not just a lost kingdom of humans, but an empire of half elves fanatical to the Light. On the other side of the planet! We’re breaking down the transmogs, interrogating their characters and seeing just how vast this new lore horizon might be.

As a longtime viewer I am super proud so see my books up in a Bellular video!!! Many many thanks for agreeing to help spotlight the series. So glad you've been enjoying it. To everyone who dives in, I appreciate you giving my work a shot. I hope you love the story!!

Still blows my mind that there are space ships in WoW, but for some reason some rough seas have kept half the planet from us.
Like what?

[leestewart]

I always assumed the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor where on opposite sides of the planet.

[GamingYooler]

It's nice to finally get some Human lore in wow. I know they appear a lot but it's pretty rare their lore actually gets any development beyond Anduin and Jaina doing a thing here and there.

Man, I'm so pleased for this ad spot. I've been looking for a good fantasy series on audible for a few weeks, and this has sated that hunger nicely!

[TheDeathstyk]

reminds me of the bretons from elder scrolls: a race that has human and elf lineage, but doesnt consider itself to be "half elves", but they are different to the other races of humans because of it.

So It's basically a hunt for Númenor, right? A human empire gifted by the gods with knowledge and power, hidden somewhere in the ocean, that basically fits the description.

If there is a God Emperor of Mankind, we better be given the choice to follow him instead of the usual being forced to fight them.

[RyanofAndor]

Definitely the right way to go about seeding lore. Hopefully the Empire is not just a patch zone but it's own expansion.

[AureLangvinis]

Whats more impressive is that Bellular still using his new favorite word “cooking” 😂😂

[miquefan]

Young man: No, my father didn't fight in the Troll Wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter.
Old warrior: That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals; he felt he should've stayed here and not gotten involved.
Young man: You fought in the Troll Wars?
Old warrior: Yes. I was once a Dark Knight, the same as your father.

[TheNollets]

I just dont get how lothar's name got down there if the split happened thousands of years ago. Feels forced.

[lackinganame]

Weird to comment on a ad spot but Eragon was the whole reason I learned to read!

[vinnythewebsurfer]

Oh boy. Numeno-I mean the arathi look really cool.

[Thebotulism]

And here I thought we kinda already explored the world. I always considered Azeroth a Globe and not Flat, so to know that what we have interacted across such great distances already, and there is STILL a whole other Continent(Maybe more) that we haven't even seen because of their own isolation because of the Storms is crazy. Azeroth is a lot bigger than some of us imagine. And as some folk have pointed out, with the Army of the Light and their Spaceship, why haven't they found more out about the other side(s) of Azeroth? Or do we just ignore the fact they are still out there? Maybe they will come in towards the end of the expansion to help the potentially trapped Naaru in Azeroth? It's so cool to imagine what we could encounter!!

[cerealbox]

Why were they circling an island for days? What Island were they circle for days? Was the island guarded? Was the storm conjured or natural? What teleported them away from the storm? Where they targeted for the teleportation or were they caught in its crossfire and weren't meant to be teleported?

[tomclark]

I feel like we are closer and closer to the end of the Alliance/Horde factions as we always knew them.
Devs, if you have something like that in your mind, at least have the balls to make some drama and make some swaps instead of making it free for all.

[autumnleaf]

Loved the sponsor for this episode! Husband immediately went on kindle and started the series!

[laertesindeed]

One problem I am is that we traded skepticism about unreliable narrators from the chronicle for an undeserved total faith in unreliable narrators from every other team and every other source. We do not "know" that there is an arathi empire of half elves and half humans on another side of the planet. What we "know" is that a little girl who didn't know what was really going on when she stowed away on an Airship believes that there was some kind of storm or disturbance the crew of the Airship was failing to that some mysterious Light magic instantly teleported them into an underground cavern on our planet. Given that it was Light magic and seemingly instantaneous could have come from anywhere. From another planet, or from our planet but in a distant future, or a distant past. It is entirely possible that these Arathi are not from our present timeline. Meaning they could be from an alternate Azeroth, suggested, maybe from the future of Azeroth and they were teleported back in time by the Naaru and their dimensional spaceships.

Since many consider Odyn to be an "enemy of all" ....and he has stolen (or been given) Light magic for his own goals in the halls of valor; what if some Naaru made a bargain with Odyn that granted him some borrowed Light magic in exchange for his knowledge of Time Travel magic which Aman'thul taught him before Odyn abandoned Aman'thul and got kicked out of his role as the previous prime designate? Thus, those naaru could have brought some human/elf hybrids from the future.... back be useful in confronting the Void who also violated time travel rules to manipulate events here? The Il'gynoth whisper of "the Light has made a bargain with the enemy of all" would seem very appropriate here.

Thus, the lore has not demonstrated to us that there is any other side of the only that there are strangely violent barriers way out at sea; which could just be magical gateways to those other timelines or other alternate planets or what have you.

I love the heavy Scarlet Monastery and Scarlet Crusade vibes (origins?) at work here along with the light and possible differences it could bring to Paladins. VERY excited for the new expansion.
