Arsenal: Cosmic Weapons CacheTwilight HermitWriggling MassWriggling MassPlease, lower your weapon, I mean you no harm. The whispers ceased speaking to me on the day that the wound opened.
I wish to spend my days atoning for what I have done in my life, perhaps I can help you.
You... I can see it in your eyes, you have seen the vision.
The goat, the pool, drowning in the icy blackness, does this sound familiar?
I can tell you its meaning. It means we are fast closing in on the end of this world, friend.Arsenal: Cosmic Weapons Cache

2 weapons themed after the sword (Gorridar, Darkblade of the Sunderer and Seetheras, Broadsword of the Sunderer);

2 weapons themed after Titan designs (Taesavir, Sword of the Grand Design and M'thorus, Dagger of the Grand Design);

1 weapon themed after the Harbinger (Voidsong, Stave of the Harbinger), who we now know to be Xal'atath.

Please, lower your weapon. I mean no harm.Gorridar, Darkblade of the SundererSeetheras, Broadsword of the SundererThat weapon you hold... you should not have brought it here!

> You recognize my weapon?

I warned you before that the end times are coming. That weapon you wield proves it.
It emanates the same energies that coursed through the Dark Titan's blade.
Why did he strike this place? He was far too masterful a tactician to choose this target by chance.
His crusade sought to eradicate all life from existence. Do you think his final act before being captured by the Pantheon would not be in service to that goal?
Tread carefully, <class>, lest you inadvertently find yourself serving the same cause.Taesavir, Sword of the Grand DesignM'thorus, Dagger of the Grand DesignThat blade you hold... it profanes this place!

> You recognize my blade?

To bring a weapon like that here is to invite destruction, <class>.
The titans care only about their precious Order. They would sacrifice anything to achieve it--including their own followers.
Even the Dark Titan had a pattern to his actions. A cold logic intended to impose his perfect vision, and the willingness to eradicate existence if he could not achieve his ends.
Do you think the rest of his kind are any different? Only in method, not in goal.
Be careful that you do not blindly become a part of their plan.Voidsong, Stave of the HarbingerYour stave... it whispers to me!

> You recognize my staff?

Do you have any idea how ancient that weapon you wield is, <class>?
There was a time when this whole world was ruled by the Black Empire. It was beautiful.
The masters bestowed gifts upon their faithful. That stave was one such instrument.
It was given to the Harbinger so that one day she might... she might...
What? No! I was not going to tell them! I... I...
<The orc goes silent, as if chastised by some unseen presence.>

Comment by Paladinmaster44O.oComment by ElpizoI do love cool stuff like this, really adds flavour!Comment by Hranthaerso this confirms Xal'atath isn't a fifth old god.Comment by IronforgeSenatorThe orc being Void-affliated probably makes them a somewhat unreliable source for the Titans' character and all... but that said, I really love the 'prose' here, really cool and atmospheric. "His crusade sought to eradicate all life from existence. Tread carefully, <class>, lest you inadvertently find yourself serving the same cause." is just mwah for me.Comment by lauessO.O runs to log in on toons that can transmog this.Comment by MadSoritmihcraLmnot sure how i feel about content like this being locked behind trader post stuff but w/e i guess go for it blizzardComment by smashedupwardsWould be neat if there was some interaction with the old ahn qiraj weapons too since they are certainly old god-y in design.Comment by UlsullWOO!Comment by IruxosWhat if Sargeras wanted to strike C'Thun instead of Azeroth herself? It seems that his whispers stopped when the Dark Titan struck Silithus with his blade.Comment by regmaOops. And here I got the weapon thinking it looked cool. Still like how, even as a mog, items retain their effects.

(which I didn't know about when I mogged my mages staff to be the "hidden" sheep one from legion and had it activate like the actual one.)Comment by TribunalMaybe that's why Blizzard ate my priest's Gift of N'zoth I had carefully and purposely maintained.

Super cool.Comment by holyshortMaybe that's why Blizzard ate my priest's Gift of N'zoth I had carefully and purposely maintained.

Maybe. /s /maybe not s?Comment by GigabearT-dubs we fail, void lords are harbingered into a presence in our reality. Midnight we succeed and kick them out. Last Titan sees the pantheon show up and immediately use domination magic on Azeroth's world soul to enact perfect order across the cosmos, setting us to unseat them all.

With the help of...Sargeras.Comment by TastierTastyT-dubs we fail, void lords are harbingered into a presence in our reality. Midnight we succeed and kick them out.
