What you see is a tiny growth of the behemoth that may yet consume your world. Xal'atath whispers: It appears the prison of N’zoth is not as strong as it once was. Xal'atath whispers the following things in the raid: N'Zoth was involved in corrupting the Emerald Dream, which turned out to be the first raid in Legion.but it’s just getting started.įrom this blog, the following occurred in WoW: Neltharion the Earth-Warder? Nah, let’s go with DEATHWING THE DESTROYER! Prissy Night Elf nobility throwing a hissy fit? BAM! You get a snake body and actual hissing! Yes, it’s rumored that N’Zoth is responsible for twisting the Emerald Dream, corrupting one of Azeroth’s most powerful dragons, and mutating the Highborne into the despicable Naga. Emerald Dream? How about Emerald Nightmare. Still, looking at the evidence, it seems like N’Zoth feels a compulsive need to redecorate, and has the aesthetic sensibilities of someone that’s super into skulls, black leather, and knee-high platform boots. Ultimately, most of what is “known” about this most insidious of beings is mere speculation. There are also whispers that N’Zoth desires nothing more than to twist what was once noble and pure to its own inscrutable ends. Scraps of obscure lore claim that the Old God has been imprisoned beneath the darkest depths of the ocean for millennia beyond counting. Very little is certain about N’Zoth-most beings on Azeroth don’t even know its name, much less what it looks like. N'Zoth's introduction in Whispers of the Old Gods gave us notable pieces of lore, N'Zoths canon appearance in WoW, and insights into the Old God's personality. With that in mind, let's speculate on what could occur in WoW should other details teased in Whispers of the Old Gods turn out to be correct. However, when we look back at Whispers of the Old Gods, some of the N'Zoth lore came to pass in WoW. Whispers of the Old Gods was described by Ben Brode on Twitter as a "What If?" take on Warcraft lore, and that their twisty re-interpretation of Ragnaros as a lightsworn ally was pushing it. Hearthstone enjoys playing with WoW lore, imagining characters in clever, non-canon situations such as Disco Karazhan or the return of Prince Liam in The Witchwood. The first volume of Chronicle also went on sale in March 2016, which marked a concentrated effort on Blizzard's end to unify the lore scattered across books, comics, and in-game quests into one cohesive narrative. At this point in WoW's development, we were still testing Legion's alpha, which planted some Old Gods hints in the form of the Emerald Nightmare, Il'gynoth's whispers, and Xal'atath's background. It featured 134 new cards, 4 Old God legendaries, and 16 cultist cards which interacted with C'Thun. Hearthstone's Whispers of the Old Gods expansion launched on April 26th, 2016. What else could be teased here-Old Gods returning? Validated Doomsayers? Let's examine the expansion and have fun speculating!

Yet, some details about this Old God were first revealed in Hearthstone's Whispers of the Old Gods expansion. As Battle for Azeroth progresses, we learn more and more about the Old God N'Zoth.
