wow The Dreadlords and Sire Denathrius: New 9.1 Cutscene

[Starym 3,800]

 

It's been a while since we visited one of the more popular and long running Shadowlands theories surrounding Sire Denathrius and the Dreadlords, but patch 9.1 delves into that, and while we don't learn absolutely everything that's going on, we do get some clarity. Spoilers ahead.

There was a new cutscene in this past week's PTR round that added the final missing piece to the story, with the final outcome of the Dreadlords "sudden" presence in the Shadowlands being shown. Now we've known about his for quite a while now from the PTR, so we'll take a look at the entire quest line being played out by LestTV, but the latest and final addition to it is in the second video below, and it slots in at the 8:28 mark of the first video.

 

Soooooo, there we have it. Actual in-game cutscene definitive confirmation that Denathrius was indeed behind most of the main Warcraft plot so far! What is less clear is whether the Jailer was behind him pulling the strings (which seems the most likely, as Mal'ganis refers to the "game" reaching its end soon) or if we'll get a double twist and see Denathrius survive to be the real villain going forward, even beyond Shadowlands, the one behind basically the entirety of the Warcraft story. A very interesting thing to note there is that supposedly Blizzard didn't mean for Denathrius to survive his Castle Nathria encounter, but after seeing the voice actor and character designs, decided to keep him around. But now that we know that it may have been his plan all along, perhaps those comments were mere misdirection as well?

What I'm saying is Blizzard are Dreadlords, obviously.

Since they have both male and female models, could it be possible that we'll get playable Dreadlords in the future? They even have some customization options

Reminds me of a video from taliasin&evitel during bfa

so deep down in the ocean lies an ancient evil and the big question is

will it be horde or alliance

since bfa was all about the faction war


afaik blizzard said in one of there first dev interviews about shadowlands they dont intend to include more allied races so far and if they do only if it makes sense

and since we are leaving the shadowlands after we are done with the jailer the rift will possible be closed lore wise same as with argus and the pantheon because we are not supose to be there and the shadowlands are another reality in the cosmos so we are definitly not ment to be there

Unlikely, due to wings and their model also seems to be made for specific armor. Too unique to be playable.

That being said, Mal'Ganis looks and sounds rather different. Maybe it's a different voice actor or just some filter.
