wow Ascension of the New Arbiter in Patch 9.2 (A Short Video)

[Stan 5,239]

Here's a short video that shows the ascension of the new Arbiter in Patch 9.2 and dialogues between the various NPCs. The post is full of spoilers, so proceed at your own risk.

The video is a shorter version of LeystTV's video posted yesterday. It only includes the most important parts of the story, which include Pelagos becoming the Arbiter, Argus being involved in shutting down the Arbiter in the Shadowlands trailer, and more.

Ok, well I was very anti-Arbiter Pelagos, but him as a last minute emergency stand in after the ritual was interrupted makes a lot more sense at least, with the plan being to create a new arbiter being interrupted by Dreadlords.

HOWEVER.

I would dearly love to hear how the dreadlords got from point A to B here.    Sargeras goes Fel happy to clean up the universe his way, they sneak into his camp, sure.     Maybe they convince him to enslave a maddened Argus.    Why not.

But that their long term plan was for Sargeras and the Legion to be defeated at just the right time (before he got the Azeroth World Soul), and somehow use his soul to sucker punch the original Arbiter while leaving the pantheon ignorant, and then somehow get his soul back Again after it took out the arbiter...because they knew we'd go there to remake a new arbiter...somehow...There's a whole lot missing from this story.

Add to that list how much Death magic they'd have to shove into Argus, an effin Titan, for him to even have a chance to end up in SLands, how they'd convince Sargeras that doing so is a pretty neat idea for his goals, because I can't imagine him being unaware of his most powerful asset's state, and how Argus' goddamn essence is still there at the Seat of the Pantheon.

Holy %$&#, is that actually the writers' logic?

What is wrong with these people?!

Each Titan has so far shown separate affinities, and Argus was the Unmaker, who specifically was utilized to reincarnate demonic souls in the Twisting Nether, due to his affinity with Death,  Just as Aman'Thul had an affinity with Time (he was the one who imbued Nozdormu btw). Its not that far fetched to think that the Dreadlords were waiting for the moment of Argus' death to redirect the world soul to the Shadowlands instead of the realm of Order, given its tormented state and its affinity for Death.

As for Sargeras? The moment of Argus' death (which if something can take down a world soul, clearly his restored brethern were involved), he opted to take a hail mary shot at Azeroth rather than directly confront the Pantheon in their Seat, where presumably their powers would be enhanced unlike when he defeated them before out in the Great Dark.
