Talking about Tomb of Sargeras End Cinematic

Hello everyone!
I wasn’t planning on doing a reaction video since I’ll be talking about the complete
story of the tomb real soon, but so many of you requested it so I figured why not...
Lets sit down and talk a bit about this cinematic.
It takes place after we follow kil’jaeden from the tomb of sargeras to his command ship
which is cruising around in the twisting nether, eventually ending up at argus.
“Look upon our wodners you mortals and despair.
Behold the world that will be your tomb.”
“Argus, beloved homeworld...what have they done to you?!”
Where we’re able to defeat the deceiver and bring him to his knees.
“Our fates are now one.”
“Argus will be your tomb.”
“At least we will have died fighting.”
“Our war isn’t over yet.”
Kil’jaeden believes that this is where we’re all going to die, but Illidan has come prepared.
In his hand is the Sargerite Keystone which should look familiar for those who have leveled
up a demon hunter.
Back during the Burning Crusade, Illidan used his powers to create portal to Mardum which
once upon a time was used by the titan sargeras to imprison the demons that he fought with
and he used the sargerite keystone to lock them away.
He had come to realize that demons could not truly be slain outside the twisting nether,
so imprisonment was the far better option.
When Sargeras turned to the darkside, he shattered the planet and released the demons forming
the burning legion.
The keystone was used for the prison and it had the power to open up portals to countless
different worlds, even that of Argus.
It was given to brood queen Tyranna for safekeeping so the demon hunters went out to claim it
while Illidan tried to defend the Black Temple against our attack.
As most of you know, he failed and was imprisoned, so were his demon hunters who returned from
a successful mission and with legion they were set free to help fight against this new
legion threat.
During their order hall campaign they were forced to work together with the wardens to
find out where the wardens had hidden the keystone.
Turned out that it was safeguarded within the vault of the wardens, next to Illidan’s
corpse, hidden within the platform itself.
A quick trip into the vault later and the keystone was recovered even used to invade
Niskara and somewhere in between the key was handed over to Illidan.
“Not while we hold the key to all worlds.”
Opens rift between argus and azeroth “Khadgar, take us home.”
Notice how they’ve changed the description of the key from a key to any and all legion
worlds into a key to all worlds.
Kil’jaeden and velen “I was always... envious of you.”
“Your gift.
Your faith.
Your vision.”
“I never believed... that Sargeras could be stopped.”
“Perhaps you will prove me wrong.”
“Everyone!
Get ready!”
Velen touches the head of his fallen brother, bye now
This moment I’m personally pretty torn about since they’re trying to create some sympathy
for Kil’jaeden and not just in this moment also in the additional story created for his
character.
In the 7.2 trailer we saw Kil’jaeden giving up his world for the vision shown by Sargeras
and nothing to show for, while at the same time this is the guy responsible for the whole
corruption of Velen’s son, a son that never existed before the Legion.
Responsible for the war between the alliance and horde, for the draenei have to run for
thousands of years, the near extermination of the draenei race, the sunwell, the Lich
King, kael’thas, illidan, Legion and so much more.
It’s brilliant that I actually feel torn about it since despite the long, long list
of bad guy stuff, at the same time you kinda feel for the guy.
He never believed that standing up against Sargeras was even a possibility.
Imagine if he could have shared the faith Velen showed, but then again he didn’t have
the naaru whispering to him so there’s that.
One final touch by Velen, happy to see that the old prophet did not give into hatred despite
all that was done to him and his people, and that’s the end of Kil’jaeden.
Explosions!
BAWOESJ Ahh we made the escape to azsuna
“pfoeh, is everyone alright?”
Ow no illidan, what have you done?!
“What have you done?”
“Sometimes the hand of fate... must be forced.”
That last line is of course a call back to the warcraft 3 cinematic where Illidan is
talking to himself as he’s summoning the naga from the deep.
“Now my blind eyes see what others can not.
“ Flash of lightning
“That sometimes the hand of fate... must be forced.”
LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAA
Very, very nice touch to actually see Argus in the sky after you’ve completed the tomb.
The threat of what’s to come is looming above us and I hope that it’s going to deliver,
but that’s something only time will tell.
Now I’ve had some people ask about the ramifications of suddenly having a new planet so close to
Azeroth, like what would that do to the world, but to that I’d say that this is a game,
a game where we have zombies and dragons and we can fly and sometimes people come back
from the dead and we’re fighting demons and all that stuff so I wouldn’t take it
that seriously.
On top of that, I don’t think any of the planets actually moved, I believe it’s more
of a rift created between the 2 worlds, a rift which will make it a lot easier to actually
get to Argus.
There is a bit of a problem with what they’ve done with the keystone.
Before it was a key to legion worlds and although that’s a vague description.
Like does it need a flag of the legion on it to become viable or is the fel infusion
that counts or...what exactly makes it a legion planet?
But atleast it placed a limitation on the key and I think we can be pretty safe to say
that Azeroth is not a Legion planet, that’s the whole reason as to why they want to conquer
it.
Now that they’ve decided to make it a key to all worlds and Illidan easily used it to
create a rift, a short cut between Argus and Azeroth, the obvious question is...Why didn’t
the Legion do this before?
If Sargeras is the one who handed over the key to Tyranna, did he just forget about it
when he so desperately wanted to get to Azeroth?
It’s not like they didn’t know what the key could do since even the brood queen is
aware that it’s a key to Legion worlds so I think the change with the key is something
that leads to obvious questions.
Next to that we always knew that we were going to go to Argus, but having a constant rift
in the sky...really?!
We worked so hard on getting the pillars of creation to seal of 1 gateway from which the
Legion came in and now you’re just gonna open up a freaking rift?
COME ON IN LEGION, it’s not like azeroth is pretty damn weak right now.
We spend months trying to take one single patch of land in order to get to the tomb,
but oh no...No...this is fine.
The homebase of the Legion just right there infront of us, what could go wrong?!
Joking aside, you could speculate that you need the sargerite keystone in order to step
through that rift, that’s a possiblity or perhaps the Legion is spread too thin, too
confident in that Argus was secure.
That none would be able to reach it, maybe...
Cool factor over what makes sense I suppose... and that it really was, the cinematic was
visually pretty damn awesome, loved that little moment between Velen
and Kil’jaeden, the skyboxing changing, very nice touch, can’t wait to see what
the future is going to bring.
Now like I said, I’m currently working on getting the story of the legionfall campaign
done and after that we’ll talk about the details as to what happened in the tomb since
Preach was kind enough to let me join one of his viewer raids and actually get some
recordings done so that’s coming up as soon as possible.
For now, thank you very much for watching everyone!
