Chapter 9 - What Happens NextWarning, spoilers from the latest Chains of Domination chapter ahead.it fits neatly into his chest cavity

Highlord Bolvar Fordragon says: Primus, what we witnessed in the Arbiter's chamber, it was... beyond mortal understanding.
The Primus says: Once, Zovaal stood among us as the Arbiter. Yet he defied the will of the First Ones and sought to unmake the balance of the cosmos.
The Primus says: For his crimes, we stripped our brother of his power and bound him to the Maw. It was I who scribed the runes of Domination upon his flesh.
The Primus says: We used Zovaal's anima to construct a new Arbiter, one that would be dispassionate and just.
The Primus says: I should have realiized that he would never stop fighting to reclaim his power... and see his schemes through to their bitter end.
Highlord Bolvar Fordragon says: What will his next move be?
The Primus says: Zovaal pursuels the secrets locked within the Sepulcher. Should he find the knowledge he seeks, all that you know will be undone.
The Primus says: Four sigils represent the renewed hope of the covenants. I will use them to forge a key... though I must find something to replace the Arbiter's sigil.

"Family is only a title for those who can hurt you more piercingly than the rest," he said, and his voice was soft suddenly, as soft as the dust left at the end of destruction. "My blood kin betrayed me to this fate. I would not take a single step for the sake of their souls. Nor should you. There is no balm to be found in the blood that binds, only the blood that is spilled. You must go. Courage cannot be found here."

"I have a hole in my heart like that," I said gently.

His glowing eyes burned expressionlessly into mine. Hot orange sparks from the million fires of the wasteland tumbled through the air, disappearing into the chasm of his chest.

Everyone does, he said slowly. "It is only that mine is easy to see."

Comment by Bbolt859noooo waaaaayyComment by KarigalremovedComment by natalia76up next sylvanas becomes the new arbiterComment by OartholomewSo Zovaal felt betrayed because.. he betrayed them first? What? I know it's badguy logic but once again, dumbing down WoW to the point of a child's story.

Also, "Highlord Bolvar Fordragon says: Primus, what we witnessed in the Arbiter's chamber, it was... beyond mortal understanding."

No Bolvar, it's really not. In fact, it seems to be a goal of Blizzard to take a couple pages worth of lore and somehow spread it out amongst years of content in the most simple, obscure ways possible.Comment by dokeefe1986This was fairly predictable imo. Let the Sylvanas redemption arc begin I guess?Comment by QaneshaRemovedComment by famousmortAnd of course, our mute champion does not ask what the Sepulcher is. And no one asks on our behalf. And we get to find out in 5-6 months what this important thing is

Comment by ScrumpusWumpusZovaal doesn't trust family, RIPComment by Violetta501Sure would like to know what Zovaal did, exactly.Comment by mysticalosup next sylvanas becomes the new arbiterComment by Virgo4EverI want to know about the Primus's parting line "Death comes for the Soul of your World"

Also, why was Mal'Ganis thrown in as a cheap book on the ground, a stun, and a few bits of dialogue.

The wrap up of this patch was in not very meaty, in my opinion.

(an aside: were the writers so lazy that they had to name two things in this expansion Sepulcher? Do they not have a thesaurus.)Comment by SeganoKind of funny how we never actually see the arbiter in action. She was dead when we got to SL and then S U C C'd by the jailer and is no more, the only time we see her alive is in the loading screen portrait.Comment by rahulv21So Zovaal felt betrayed because.. he betrayed them first?

Can you believe it?"Comment by BeedrillEUup next sylvanas becomes the new arbiterComment by TheLustfulZovaal pursuels the secrets locked within the Sepulcher.Comment by markdallThat's extremely disappointing - so Zovaal really is just like them. I had hoped it would turn out he was a void lord or minion of the light or something, someone whose power was stolen by the others so that they turned out to be the bad guys, possibly all of our existence being owed to them and their misdeeds.
