Warcraft: Chronicles Pre-Release Thread

Alright people here come big spoilers from the book so if you want to keep the surprise, do not read further.

When Light and Void merged together, it created the universe, named the Great Dark Beyond. Shards of Light were thrown in it and infused planets with life, the most common form of life being the Elements, which were either rather aggressive when facing a lack of Spirit energy, or passive and sleepy when there was too much of it.

But sometimes, these shards of Light would form clouds and mingling together, would create beings of pure Light : the Naaru.

(In fact it's stated that "some of them were the Naaru", and then they talk about the Titans, so not sure if we need to understand that Titans were born thanks to shards of Light too)

The Titans are born in planets. Their spirits are named "world-souls" . When they finish their growth, they awaken. It is not exactly sure how they are physically because they are described as "living worlds", with "skin crisscrossed with mountains and oceans", so that would mean that they still are planets but here's a depiction of them and another one in which they resemble huge cloudy nebulae.

Anyway, the first Titan ever to awaken was Aman'thul. He would then search for other of his kind and help them come to be. Together they would form the Pantheon, and their goal was to continuously seek for others like them.

To find them and determine if a planet was a world-soul, they would use certain techniques :

* First, they would calm the Elemental spirits roaming across the surface

* Then, they would reshape the world, forming mountains, seas, and skies, for they believed that Order was crucial to finding others of their kind

* Finally, they would plant a ton of different life forms across the world

In doing so, they hoped to "call forth the world-soul and help bring it to maturity". The bummer was that a most of the time, they happened to not be world-souls.

But even then, they vowed to protect the worlds they visited. They have their own methods :

* They would imbue primitive life-forms with huge amount of powers so they could protect the world

* And plant colossal machines that would allow them to monitor the world, or purge it of corruption

The Constellar (the species to which Algalon belongs) would watch theses worlds and initiate the reset procedure had it come to succumb to Disorder.

The only issue with all that, is that the Titans were not the only ones loonking for world-souls...
