wow New Book About the Old Gods Added in Patch 10.0.7

[Stan 5,240]

A new interesting book was added in the first Patch 10.0.7 build called The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth (Annotated).

The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth (Annotated) - "An ancient copy, transcribed by an unknown hand for Neltharion's private collection. Notes have been scribbled in the margins."

While we cannot read the book before it drops on PTR realms, it will be interesting to learn more about the story of the Old Gods in Dragonflight. Previously, we covered some interesting books from Uldaman.

The first one is Edicts of the Prime Designate, Volume 742 written by Prime Designate Odyn. He referred to mortals as "aberrations" and wanted to eradicate them but didn't since they "may prove useful if properly controlled." The edict is primarily written for the Keepers and contains "regulations" that "must be established when interacting with mortals."

1. All historical records documenting the advancements of the Black Empire are to be purged. The age must be painted as one of chaos and misery.
2. Attribute all works of wonder to the titans.
3. Do not share knowledge of the First Ones.

The second book is Progress Report: Uldorus written by Tyr to Loken, who describes imbuing order magic into the wellspring in Halls of Infusion to ensure "order". 

"By ingesting the water (or causing eggs to absorb its effects), it should be possible to keep even the most willful dragons aligned with the titans' philosophies".

We learn that Uldorus is Tyrhold and that Tyr disagrees with Odyn about the unsuitability of the Dragon Aspects and thinks they will prove fervent allies in their shared goals of "keeping the world structured and disciplined".

The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth (Annotated) will most likely contain more about what Odyn tried to hide from the mortals.

So Titans were lying to us ? and Old Gods and Void was not what we believed. 

Maybe in time of Black Empire old gods were trying to do something else than corrupting titan soul of Azeroth

and what about Azorth being a failed experiment of Titans. 

What the *filtered* Titans were doing to Azeroth.

I think Titan are not so noble and righteous after all

Yeah, with those changes to the lore it's getting even weirder. There was also mention in some other text that Titans might have been manufactured by the First Ones in Zereth Ordus and later shot into planets (so just like Void Lords did with Old Gods), rather than being born within planets. So it's possible that Titans/World Souls were just a product of the First Ones. I think they are trying a bit too hard to "subvert expectations" with "actually, they weren't so good after all!".

Kinda obvious direction for the lore to head regarding Tyr and order magic, when you consider that the aqueduct leaving Tyrhold has a singular destination of the Ruby Life Pools where the eggs are monitored and hatched.

This First ones, we never met them in Shadowlands who are they? where are they? what happened to them? lots of questions

What to you think about them ? Who are they and where they gone and they are really opposite of Voids?

They might be gone for good or disappeared somewhere. From the looks of it they were the ones who originally ordered the Shadowlands and material universe as well, but later left this task to Titans and other creations.

They can take this story in any direction they want, they often changed who the "biggest players" were. Naaru were supposed to be the main force fighting against Legion, then they were the opposite of the Void, but now we can't be sure if it will remain like this when it comes to our final confrontation with the Void Lords (perhaps First Ones are going to be in the center of that story as their opposite).
