Why We're In Pandaria - Eternus, the Infinite, and a New Perspective on the Past

PTR Posted 2024/05/07 at 8:28 AM by DiscordianKitty

Mists of PandariaEternus, the Friendly InfiniteNozdormu: But you reminded me, Eternus, that compassion must be considered. Some events are worth changing because our hearts wish it so. On that, I agree with the infinites.Mists of PandariaObserving the "True Timeline"Mists of PandariaMistsMists of PandariaWhen Nozdormu showed me that my sister's death was her choice--her sacrifice--it made me question the rest of the "true timeline." What other moments of sorrow or anger had life-saving consequences?
When the mists of Pandaria patted, the Horde and Alliance brought their conflict to these shores and awoke a slumbering evil. But... perhaps it was all necessary to bring about a brighter future.
It is time to reflect on the past with a new perspective. That is why I am here, along with those of the infinite dragonflight whom I could convince to join me.

Does this mean you believe in the true timeline now?

I remain skeptical of Nozdormu's faith in it, but I am willing to give his wisdom the benefit of the doubt.
Help us or leave us to our work.

What is my mission?

Relive this timeline so that we may observe its events from a new perspective.
We will be watching you.

What will be different?

We will equip you with an artifact of the infinite. A cloak that adapts and changes as you do.
Nozdormu is opposed to altering the past, But we are not doing so. are we? The events that transpire here will remain the same.
It is you who will be different.

The bombing of Theramore - where Jaina's home town was completely destroyed and many of her people died. This event led to a hatred in Jaina for the Horde that is only recently begun to cool.

The theft of the Divine Bell and subsequent purging of Dalaran - when Jaina discovered Sunreavers (Blood Elf members of the Kirin Tor) had helped Garrosh steal a relic called the Divine Bell, she violently purged them from Dalaran in a bloody retribution.

A confrontation between Garrosh and Anduin, during which Garrosh crushed the young Prince and left him so broken it was believed he might die. To this day, Anduin's bones cause him pain.

Several devastating events in Pandaria, including a great amount of death, war, and destruction. One of the most notable is the corruption of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms - a sacred valley to the Pandaren that was desecrated by the unearthing of the Heart of Y'Shaarj.

The Siege of Orgrimmar, where Horde fought against Horde on the streets of Orgrimmar.

Wrathion's decision to back Garrosh after Varian decided not to crush the Horde - a decision that arguably caused the events of Warlords of Draenor and Legion.

Comment by aronkochWonder if the Garrosh fanboys remember all the horrible stuff he did this expansion who try and say he did nothing wrong.

Beloved expansion? That's not usually the impression I get. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Pandaria just fine. Still do, if I'm honest. But when it was announced, there was constant screaming about "Kung Fu Panda", or the constant inclination towards "furries" (which started with the addition of worgen and came up again with vulpera), and people whining for years - before, during, and after the expansion - about Blizzard "making an April Fools' joke into canon", under the misunderstanding that the entire pandaren race was an April Fools' joke. They weren't. Adding them as a playable faction in Warcraft III - that was the April Fools' joke.Comment by MikeMJGI love your thoughts on what could potentially happen. That being said, unfortunately, it won't. MoP Remix is just as you said it is - something to kill the time until War Within. Why we got this instead of actual Dragonflight content we will never truly know. But the sooner we get to a real full expansion, its all just waiting.

If you have not experienced all of MoP, I recommend you do so. Even if you get all the rewards from MoP remix, you will still have all the rewards from real MoP waiting to be discovered. The real items are from MoP and the new tints and variants are from the MoP remix.

This is an expansion where the Alliance and Horde share some similar quests, but have completely different storylines, cutscenes and more!

Have fun everyone!Comment by SoeroahIt'd be really funny if this finally explained why the Infinite Dragons helped Garrosh escape the trialComment by SilvianoWhy we got this instead of actual Dragonflight content we will never truly know.

Wowhead Commenters Try Not To Complain Challenge (Impossible)Comment by rowaasr13there was constant screaming about "Kung Fu Panda"Comment by Scrumbulonthere was constant screaming about "Kung Fu Panda"Comment by CamdormuDoes Jaina witness this as well? She cannot act like she’s forgotten about Theramore.Comment by Camdormu
garrosh did nothing wrongComment by SundercatAll for more events like this and less like plunderstorm since this has actual substance rather than a basic cut and dry BR attempt. Excited to see how it goes!but I think the problem is more than likely rooted in how those teams are structured and executedComment by plumsmugglerWill Warlocks be able to go back and get the black harvest title? does anyone know? thank you in advance ♥Comment by Stormbringer4190Will Warlocks be able to go back and get the black harvest title? does anyone know? thank you in advance ♥
