What do y'all think about the story for the Nerubians so far?? I have so many questions! But personally my favorite thing about this whole short is literally just the way Xal'atath is depicted…so forkin' cool!
Nobbel's theory was that the messenger scene is before Battle of Azeroth, as we waged war on Ny'alotha then, and the Queen rejected their command, and thus the Old Gods sent a curse to take down their kingdom, like they have done with other races and their kingdoms if they did not listen.
Nobbel has a theory that they refused to join the old gods to defend Nyalotha in BFA . . .but who knows
im pretty sure the faceless one trying to conscript them is during BFA with the attempted return of the black empire.
Nice video, always good to listen to you talk through your reaction!
I want a playable Nerubian race now. They always had a sense of honor, even if they are terrifying.
I think the Faceless one is referring to the BFA Ny'alotha raid as the "land stand" so its probably only been about 8 years or so that their kingdom has been in decline. I assumed it was tantamount to a curse on the kingdom for betraying the black empire.
I see what Blizzard did there, putting Klaxxi theme music in background each time they show Nerubians as collective.
Got me all nostalgic goosebumps.
I think the faceless one who came calling was during BFA seeking reinforcements for that Nyalotha.
Claudia Christian is absolutely killing it as always.
claim their desity ok what destiny? they have been out of the lore for so damn long what destiny are they trying to reclaim? etc. smoke and mirrors here.
What I like is that this implies, the old god blood creates more humanoid creatures from existing ones
Xal inhabits a corpse, manipulates kingdoms and dread creeps in, good setting.
I'm never disappointed with their cinematic craft. God tier quality, as always. I hope there's more cause this one was extremely hype material
This was so good, and they did such an amazing job with Xal'atath in this.
It does seem odd to see Nerubians live for so long. If the events at the start of the cinematic did happen at the Fall of the Black Empire, that would place both Queen Neferess and Ansurek as being some of the oldest living beings on Azeroth. Maybe older than Velen (who is at least 25,000 years old).
Unless the events at the start of the cinematic took place just before the end of BFA, shortly after N'Zoth was released. But it would place Ansurek at not being that old, seeing how the end of BFA was 7 years ago
Seems cool. Doesn’t this confirm that N’Zoth is dead too? So much for the rumors he was alive.
We know that Xal'a can timetravel.
She brought Iridikron to the ancient past, to the Dawn of the Aspects to absorb Galakronds' Essence into the Dark Heart.
Empire tend to fall by inner problems.
In that case you got a queen which does not try to just go for war duing bad times, when there is for example a lack of food.
She's likely also driven by all the problem mortals got with Nerubians, so avoiding the outside and just hiding there underground in their territory.
It's likely a small problem that they could indeed endure, since she does not look delusional.
But the daughter was driven by the her child hood experience, when her mother, their might empire, just killed a messenger of the old gods, that was the glorious kingdom she had in her mind since then and could not suffer the idea, that they became just a nation of "peasants" instead.
He mother clearly knew this childish thinking and told her, that she has to learn a lot to be a real ruler.
And you can be 100% sure, that Xal'atath talked with the daughter before her meeting with the queen and abot how powerful their kingdom could become again by using the power of the old gods, who are dead, right? What should happen, their 'weapons' just lie around, ready to be taken.
She then went with that offer to the mother, absolute making sure that the daughter would see how the mother just rejects this wonderful gift…
Nothing more was needed than that…
The Nerubians are super old – that is known. Nerubians are part of the "aqir" family of races – those beings that were created by the old gods and dominated the planet during the Black Empire. Mantid, all of the nerubians, the qiraji/silithid – these were all created by the old gods (or rather they simply arose out of the organic void soup the Old Gods bathed in – it's possible their creation wasn't intentional I guess). The Nerubians in particular largely did not help the Old Gods – I think it's unclear if they broke free of Old God control or if all aqir had free will and the others simply served the Old Gods out of choice.
My guess is Xal'atath Did this all between the events of Shadowlands and Dragonflight. Being she was freed back in BFA. So, she's been busy for awhile.
Xal is so alien in how she moves, and her facial expressions. Def gives vibes of someone barely pretending to be human
