Possible spoiler
From the short story birth of a world


avatar of death = Aridon
Lord Bryan discovered some remnant or something of the master of shadow which allowed him to receive at least some of his powers

The darkened one is one of the four old god and somehow still manifests his power and probably possesses the emperor or someone close enough to him to manipulate the balance of power within the empire

@Blake8 Very good theory *claps*
I support it!
It is possible Brian and his entire family was taken by this master of shadow and killed.Brian may have been revived by Aridon and with his help defeated the master of shadow and absorb part of his power just like you said,and i say defeat not destroy.Maybe Aridon was unhappy with Brian taking this kind of power instead of serving him so he refers to him as an ''old friend''.Brian may aswell have left Aridon after that and i know you will say that Aridon should sense him,but Brian may have severed his connection to Aridon by taking the shadow power,it probably turned his from an undead to an unholy creature.After all of this Brian could not return to the empire in his new state and decided to just walk in the shadows for centuries and tutor Gardon at some point.
And i know there may be people who say that Aridon could have just killed him,but as the end cutscene of chapter 7 showed us Brian isn't as easy to kill as we thought.
Again this is just a theory and speculation!

Someone asked a few pages back whats with Salana x Larine fanfic. Well, Larine is a redhead. Do a man need any more reasons to love?
I was refering to the "love" people were showing for the Redhead Elf not their shiping.That comment was ment for Shar :p

Ladies and gentlemen,

today I don't have a spoiler for Chapter Nine for you.
Today I have something even more special for you: A scene stripped from Chapter Thirteen,
the chapter that brings you the monster!
The question here is... who is the monster?

Take a look at the cinematic and find out yourself!
Or... will you REALLY find out? There is only one way to know!

Shar, you sick son of a...
You tricked us!! All this time!!! "Tyrant" Redfist my ass!!! Even in the "Behind the Scenes" you made us believe in that! You made us believe that he was a complete dick!
I don't know if I should applaud you :D or be mad at you :mad:!

Will there be a choice to make after this scene?

That's quite a plot twist. Everything is a plot twist here.

Anyway, I'm curious of the new mage (won't spoil name here for reasons). When will the mage make their first appearance in the campaign?

Possibly.

Okay. wasn't expecting that, I was reading how the second human book will contain a chapter where you have to defend for a certain amount of time, this wouldnt happen to be chapter 9 would it as that is quite painful
 
I tried to evaluate the second flashback scene and found it to be quite similar except the dialogues for most part, which is the key of distortions. Also, just a note, the trailer has a broken Aedale's model in the first flashback. I presume it was for her pre-corrupted state?

Also, commanding demon army anyone? :p

Broken? How?

She doesn't appear in the flashback, just a shadow.

I guess Lisara may still have demons loyal to her, or maybe she can turn demons into her puppets?

@Daffa the Mage
Acually i would love to play em.
See how broken they can be(if we acually get to play with more than just felguards and doomlords)


Yeah the model is broken in the first flash back,There is no Adale its just a shadow

Yeah, fixed it, working version is attached to the post now.

That's an annoying import bug, everything runs fine until you make the mistake to test without
saving the map first.
It reduces the file size of all imported files to 0 - making them nonexistant, therefore.
I am suprised that it only affected a few files this time.
Actually, I am surprised it occured at all, I kept saving before testing. Nevermind.

Anyway, fixed.

@Daffa the Mage: There are some moments that are supposed to be all black.

I viewed the cinematic multiple times and im the only one i guess,but i do not trust anything that happened in it.I do not believe Shar would give such spoilers just like that,there must be a catch in all of this.Untill i don't see it officially in the campaign i can trust this cinematic as much as i trust the "fate of Bloodclaw" cinematic.Don't hate me on this,it's just an opinion!

Maybe it is like a "Fight in the center of the mind" where Aedale's light side (represented by her sister) and dark side (represented by Lisara) are struggling to dominate her.
The light side may be either trying to tell the truth or maybe Aedale's subconscious is on denial about her father being a jerk.

I can see how the choices you've made in the first book will either make it easier for you or harder for you if thats the case.If someone has the power to enter her mind and i think that can be Brian,he may also take Cora with him and they can do a battle with Lisara inside Aedale's body and maybe kill her or in the good case kill her evil part,aka Lisara.This is massive speculation,i know,but it's just an opinion!I at least think it would be cool,but again just an opinion!

Oh like that scene in Final Fantasy VI where we enter Cyan's mind while he is having a nightmare!

Wait a minute this other sister.Could probably be a telepathic or w/e she looks the type,maybe she is the one who is messing with her mind.Or it could be what it is and we are just throwing a bunch of wild assumptions around and what just we saw its the truth and only the truth,which would be pretty wierd for Shar from my experience its pretty dam hard to get any spoilers from him :eek: .Or he is being generous to us.

Alright these are the theories:
-1: This is actually happening.
-2: Aedale is having a nightmare and Aedale's last remaining humanity (represented by her sister) is struggling inside her
-3: Aedale's sister is entering her mind and trying to fight Lisara

I don't think Cora has the power to enter Aedale's mind,she will need someone with knowedge how to do this,she is a just a water mage after all.
Also i'd like to thank you for liking my speculation!

No problem.
I am not talking about Cora, but that other sister that appears in that scene. She has plenty of siblings.

Now thats mindblowing! Lets hope Aedale (means we) will get to choose whether to kill or spare.
I hope it's not one if those kill blindly,then realise you made a big mistake,because you knew nothing!If we kill Duke Volarian with Aedale and then Shar reveal his backstory and we realise he was just misunderstood that would anger me a lot!

How exactly is:
-Sending your own men to the middle of a battlefield.
-Being rude while Blen presents himself.
-Makes Retka start a rebellion, killing thousands and tormenting many others.
-Letting the kingdoms being slaughtered
-Tries to kill Gardon after he proves a liability.

How is any of this misunderstood?

Im talking about Aedale's father Duke Volarian not van Durce.
Van Durce is anything,but good,he is kind of like Malfurion.He has a hate and jealousy for Gardon,because he cannot allow him to be more famous than him.He always tries to screw him at every opportunity,just like Malfurion screws Illidan every time.

Dat little thing about Illidan is, Illidan would have no problems leaving Azeroth burning just to get his ass up the ladder of demons. Do I need to remind you who wiped out half the temple of Elune? (spoler: it was lil Illie)

I know that Illidan sort of does stupid things @Boriss .Gardon sort of does stupid thing too you know(sacrificing an entire village,using the power of demons,among other things).;)
That was just a comparison.

Illidan did most of those things to prove himself. Plus, he lacked communication skills. His plan of temporarily joining the Legion in order to know its secrets was good, but the problem was that he didn't told anyone about it! He also didn't bother telling that he was planning to use the Eye of Sargeras to destroy the Lich King!

Maybe Shar will see who we want to be right... and make the exact opposite;)!
Behind the truth always lies manipulation.Shar is like some puppet master.Pulling the strings,just waiting to prove that we were wrong.This straw poll is all part of his plan.A plan that involves studying us to know how we think,how we act.A plan that has spanned for decades or even centuries.What if he lies about his age?What if he isn't 22,but 222 years old?What if this entire series is a creation that was made to make us to like war more?War leads to violence and doom.It is bad and what if he wants to make us love it so we play even more legends of Arkain?
And thats how you make a warcraft 3 mapper into an evil super villain people:p

Pfffft...HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Someone give this guy a medal or invite him to stand-up comedy!

I don't like these campaigns because of the war, but because of the plot. Conspiracies, ancient entities manipulating the fates of nations, what we thought to be set in stone turns out to be a lie, each chapter fills us with questions and each answer just gives more questions. A masterpiece!:thumbs_up:

Nah, the story here is already done, just like the entire Second Human Book story.
I just felt like a poll makes it more engaging. :)
Doing the opposite of what you predict just to suprise you would harm the quality of the story sooner or later.
That's not to say there will be no surprises, though. ;)

So, how many people believe in Lisara the nice butt truth speaking demoness girlfriend theory? :D

Man, I leave for a few days and return to find new things.
I have to see this new cutscene

I have one question: Veil or whatever her name is - the descendant of Zyrianor nation- will we see any remnants other than her from the fallen tyrannical nation?

Didnt she say she is the last heir of her house?
