No one thought that Blizzard would play a big game of "three servers in one"?! Recently, some netizens discovered that the Warcraft 11.0 weekly quest revealed part of the history of the earth spirits in ancient times, including the origin of the huge crystal in the sky above the Fallen Sacred Valley. Contrary to our previous suspicions, the cause of the crystal's appearance may not have been stabbed by Sargeras, but rather caused by the movement of the earth's crust caused by the cataclysm unleashed by Deathwing.
In the conversation between Arcadias, the archivist, and Dagran · Soreson II, we can find that back in ancient times, the earth spirits found some huge crystals when digging in the center of the earth, and by studying what they believed was the essence of the soul of the world, Azeroth wanted to send some information to the outside world through this thing. In response, the Titans built a core channel for the Earth Spirit to study the power of the Giant Crystal.
At one point, the Earth Spirits had been determined to carry out the Titan's orders and conduct various tests on the crystals, but to their surprise, a crustal operation had split the center of the earth, severing their connection to the giant crystal in the center of the earth, resulting in the end of the research project and the loss of communication with the Titans. As for this crustal operation? Most likely, it's a cataclysm caused by Deathwing.
Therefore, many years later, when the Beledar crystal appeared in the sky above the Meteoric Valley, the earth spirits felt that this thing was very similar to the world soul recorded in their historical archives, and it was possible that a sword of Sargeras shook the crystal out. It's just that the earth spirit doesn't know why the soul of the world has appeared in the void form in addition to the holy light form. By the way, according to the records of the earth spirits, the crystals they found in the center of the earth were not one, but three, and the second crystal was left out on a desert island, suspected to be the ancient main city of the goblins, Andermai, and the goblin NPC was already being discussed.
The third piece is in the depths of the Alterant Valley, but according to the parallel time and space of the World of Warcraft exploration server, this crystal was taken by Saratas in advance and transformed into a Void fragment.
Combined with the above information, Blizzard seems to be playing a big game of chess, trying to make a big event of three-server linkage in the Warcraft official server, Cataclysm nostalgia server, and exploration server, and the former villain boss Deathwing, Sargeras, and even the current villain Saratas may become the object of whitewashing. Because judging from the plot, these three people intentionally or unintentionally sabotaged the Titans' research on the soul of the world of Azeroth, and survived until the foot man appeared to save the world.
