Becoming the Lich King in Northrend

From the perspective of Warcraft, Jaina at that time was very likely to become a subordinate of the Lich King. Like Arthas, she was not deeply involved in the world and thought of things too simplistically.

Old God Personality Contrasts and Changes in Corruption [Legend Discussion - Long Article] Discussion I've been trying to compile a list of all the differences and similarities between each of the Old Gods we encounter in Azeroth. Their size and visual design are a constant topic of discussion, but I'm more interested in their personalities or how they generally function. There may be other posts about this, but I can't find them. I would like to compile a list of the differences between each Old God and identify; A) Personality B) Methods of Influence (i. E. How they try to drain a person's sanity) C) Indicators of Corruption (i. E. How their corruption manifests itself in people or things they infect) Y'Shaarj Personality: Uncertain - Hard to predict? Obviously, Y'Shaarj is the largest and most powerful, but there are very few details about how he differs from the other gods. He seems to represent some variation of the Seven Deadly Sins, which I can't really support, but he seems interested in encouraging the exploration of personal vices or amplifying negative "sinful" emotions that are already present in people. We rarely see the Old God in his natural form, or even his "complete" incarnation - because he was killed and divided before we got to know him. Gamepedia says: (Y'Shaarj) Breathe in courage, breathe out fear. As it dies, its last terrible breath transforms into the seven major evil spirits - anger, hatred, violence, fear, doubt, despair and pride. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on interacting with him. All we really get to do is interact with the Sha, so I can only assume he's a bit erratic - switching between moods frequently. He is probably the most emotional Old God, with each of his heads representing a unique emotion. Method of Influence: Supporting Sin/Wide Emotional Range I would say his most prominent characteristic is taking existing emotions and amplifying them to the extreme, driving his victims crazy. While the other Old Gods seemed more interested in specific emotions, Y'Shaarj was more interested in the concept of seven different emotions (perhaps all related to his seven heads). I believe Y'Shaarj's highly diverse range of emotional manipulation may be directly related to his status as the most powerful of the Old Gods. Obviously his size is a factor, but I think being able to interfere with multiple emotions would enhance his overall strength(?) For example, we could have these whispers from Xal'atoh - This is the weapon dropped by Garrosh Hellscream after being possessed by Y'shaarj's corruption: "Embrace your rage." "Sooth your fear." "Eat your hatred." "Speak your doubts." Corruption: The Evil Spreads His corruption is clearly reflected in the infection of "Sha", which we have seen in many characters in the "Mists of Pandaria" expansion pack. The most prominent example is probably Garrosh Hellscream in Siege of Orgrimmar The colors of the evil erosion range from black and white monochrome to bright and colorful, as shown in the picture above. It has the potential to cover surfaces as well as the human body. Anywhere you find evil spirits, you may find white mist oozing from black and white patches. I may be missing something but that's all I can think of. Yog-Saron Character: Arrogant/Violent Perhaps the loudest and most violent of the four known Old Gods, Yogg-Saron seems to be the epitome of arrogance and excessive arrogance. Most other gods have 2-3 different titles (e. G. N'Zoth's "God of the Abyss" and Y'Shaarj's "Seven-Headed God"), but Yogg-Saron has at least 7 titles that we hear about in the game. (Lucid Dream, The Beast with a Thousand Mouths, The Source of Evil, The Beast, The Devil with a Thousand Faces, Death, The Unspeakable). The three visions he showed us in the Ulduar raid seemed to blatantly brag about his influence on Azeroth's past. Many have speculated that he was involved in the events he depicts, which I don't disagree with, but the whole thing seems like an act - just another way for him to show us how powerful and important he is. He often performs similar behind-the-scenes manipulations against other Old Gods (e. G. Messing with the mind of the Titan Guardian Loken), but when he is exposed, he seems to give up all thoughts of deception and revel in his own power, with the following lines: "Yellow me in my true form! Surrender to death!" The biggest ego in the Dark Empire. Method of Influence: Fear/Hate? His influence may seem elusive at first glance and somewhat difficult to understand. Most of the whispers you hear in the Saronite mines indicate that Yogg-Saron relies primarily on instilling fear in his victims, but also inspires hatred and a desire for violence. Here are a few examples of what he would say to you. "There is no escape. No way in this life. No way in the next." (Fear) "They have betrayed you. Now... Take revenge." (Hate) "Kill them all... Before they kill you." (Fear/Hate) "Give in to your fear." (Fear) Also, during a meeting with his boss, he said the following through Sara: "Tremble, mortal, before the end!" (Fear) "Suffocate with your own hatred!" (Hate) Yes, this theory is a bit lame, but Yogg-Saron isn't always set in stone. Y'Shaarj relies on a variety of emotional manipulations, but there is a pattern that is directly related to his "Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Heads" theme. Yog-Saron's methods don't have much to do with it other than often causing upheaval in the world and attracting widespread attention (having Loken betray the Titan Guardians, corrupting Andrassil, sowing the Emerald Nightmare, creating a Curse of the Flesh, and potentially interfering with several other major historical events in Azeroth - all manifested in the visions he provides during boss encounters) He also tends to create deceptive illusions, such as images of Sara or Sif in Ulduar to deceive Loken. Overall, I think his manipulations are the loudest and most exaggerated. Corruption: Invisibility/Enhanced Offensiveness? /Saronite? Visual indicators of Yogg-Saron's corruption appear to be non-existent, and I don't think he has any specific mortal followers other than those who surrounded General Vezax as he descended into madness (these appear to be the Twilight's Hammer followers we see across Azeroth) and those who died of saronite poisoning. The blood of Yogg-Saron will make people crazy and their aggression will increase, but the undead will not, especially the Scourge. I don't think there's a full explanation for this, but it's interesting. Regardless, those who died of saronite poisoning did not exhibit any unique visual manifestations that I could find. The saronite miners we have found throughout Northrend have also not suffered any visual corruption from him, but I believe Yogg-Saron's influence may only manifest in a high level of aggression and paranoia. You can read some of their lines here , and I'm still not quite sure how to draw conclusions from it. I wish I could be more specific about Yogg's Corruption, but I don't think Blizzard was interested in doing visuals for the Old God's Corruption until Y'shaarj showed up in Pandaria. I'm trying not to meta-analyze this too much, but I can't find a legendary reason why a guy as loud as Yogg-Saron wouldn't announce his presence on the people he corrupts. C'Thun Personality: Quiet, aloof C'Thun is obviously smaller than Bia'shahar and a little smaller than Yogg-Saron (if you look at the Chronicles map, his realm also looks a little smaller than N'zoth's), but again, appearance to me only has to do with his personality and function. In this case, I think C'Thun's size could easily be related to the twist of him being presented as some kind of "middle child" - something that is often underestimated and overlooked compared to some of the other children. C'Thun has even less detail than Bia'shaarj in terms of his characteristics and methods, but I think we can actually glean a lot from his whispers. It's worth noting that he speaks very little compared to the others - in a quiet, monotone voice directly to the players themselves, rather than in a public broadcast (unless I'm mistaken). Yog-Saron's arrogance reflects the huge contrast between their personal arrogance. C'Thun seems to be more aloof, appearing very calm at all times, never talking about himself, and never showing any sense of self-importance - in stark contrast to the other three Old Gods. In Ahn'Qiraj, we can hear the words of C'Thun himself: Death is near... You are already dead. Your courage will disappear. Your friends will abandon you. You will betray your friends. You will die. You are too weak. Your heart will explode. He also has few human/mortal followers - only the Aqir, the Faceless, and the corrupted Anubisath. He seems to have far less interest in the mortal race than any of the other Old Gods. It might just be that his isolation in Silithus gave him little chance to figure out how these other races worked and how to get into their heads. Personally, I prefer to believe that C'Thun is more different from our perceptions - he doesn't pretend to think like us, nor does he have the same emotions we experience. He's closer to an unfathomably monstrous monster than any of his compatriots, and rarely makes an effort to appear otherwise. Methods of Influence: Despair and Doubt I think C'Thun, more than any other Old God, relies on despair to drain the sanity of his victims, and he speaks softly to those who wander his realm - whispering suspicion in their ears and inciting fear in them. His manipulation is almost passive and selfless - implying that the people he targets don't matter at all. Corruption: Not obvious/very subtle This side of C'Thun is difficult to pin down. Most of his followers are Qiraji, silithids enslaved by the Qiraji, and Anubisath. As far as I know, he has no mortal followers, unless you count the Twilight's Hammer fanatics in Silithus, but they bear no obvious signs of corruption from the Old God himself. However, I speculate that due to C'Thun's gentler nature, his corruption may be more subtle and harder to detect on the surface. Maybe only those under his influence can detect it in others? Could this be similar to N'Zoth's gift? Or is this just another side effect of C'Thun's disinterest in the mortal races? N'Zoth Personality: Cunning, Playful As the smallest of the Old Gods of Azeroth, (although his realm looks to be about the same size as C'Thun's in Chronicles - but I may be mistaken) N'zoth is often called the most dangerous. He likes "trading" and I think he likes the mortal races the most. He hired large numbers of Faceless Men and X'hir, but he also spent more time trying to communicate with the people of Azeroth. The player is probably the most prominent example, but he also had a very direct and memorable agreement with Azshara. His enthusiasm for this exchange may be due to his lack of size and strength, as he attempts to create a bond of loyalty that is more powerful than any form of mind control or physical dominance. Additionally, he often teases future knowledge in the form of riddles, which I believe is a combination of amusing himself and enticing us to listen for more. N'Zoth appears to be the most "human" of the Old Gods, often showing generosity and even affection to his followers. I'd be willing to bet that this is all fabricated, but it's also possible that he has some level of connection to his followers. The connection may be limited to a sense of belonging, but that's still a lot more than a complete lack of affection from his relatives. Methods of Influence: Hatred, Prophecy, and Love N'Zoth offers a unique method of manipulation that seems focused on cultivating a direct connection between himself and his followers. Through the countless whispers we hear in BfA, it's clear that he often encourages his victims to trust and love him - using the word "choose" to refer to them and give them "gifts". But beyond that, he encourages those under his influence to develop hatred for others, especially those who disobey him. He emphasized that only some people were worthy of his gifts, and that everyone else was worthless—enemies to be conquered. This fits perfectly with the themes of love and devotion he instilled in his followers. If you don't love him, then you must hate him, and therefore, you are the enemy. 8.1.5 N'Zoth Quotes: "Use your anger, let your hatred become a weapon" (Hate) "They may still deserve my gift" (Love) "Accept my gift and see all the truth before you" (Love) 8.3 N'Zoth Quotations "Your allies plot treachery" (Hate) "Shun all those who are not of our blood" (Hate/Love) "Knock down your allies and begin your true ascension" (Hate/Love) "The ultimate truth awaits you, my chosen one" (Love) "Forgetfulness calls you home" (Prophecy/Love) "You have done well, my chosen one." (Love) "My gift brings countless joys." (Love) "We are together forever" (Love) Corruption: Just a lot of eyeballs and tentacles, I don't know If you have played BfA content, you may have seen N'Zoth's corruption manifest. On the surface, he sprouts tentacles, eyes, and giant stains, just like we saw in the Corrupted Zone in 8.3 But among his followers, he exhibits a variety of transformations. The Xhir appear to be a mixture of Enlaki and mortals fused together - since they look so similar to the Enlaki, I assume they serve all the Old Gods. We've never seen these creatures before in BfA, so I think most people associate them with N'Zoth, but I guess any Old God could create tentacled X'hir at will. N'Zoth's gift is a shining eye that is bestowed upon those he deems worthy - only the one who bears the gift can perceive it. N'Zoth may manifest other similar forms of corruption, but I don't think it's necessarily always visible - just like gifts the player can wear. Common Bonds Each Old God has some common traits, functions, and aspects of corruption that I will briefly summarize here. Prophetic dialogue - foresee possible futures, dropping hints to victims and followers Speak directly to players via whispered or broadcast dialogue Innate confidence and charisma - none of them seem to experience doubt or fear - just a pure certainty that they will ultimately prevail Served by A'akir and Enraki (the Faceless Ones) - Can all the Old Gods create X'sil? They may be able to cultivate any negative emotions in their victims, but I believe they each have specific preferences (outlined in the above sections) Yog-Saron, Y'Shaarj, and N'Zoth seem to have some affinity for creating illusions or fantasies - something that C'Thun has not done as far as I know. Has their influence among the Scourge waned? All undead may have some resistance to the corruption of the Old Gods [citation needed] We don't know exactly what the "Dark Titan" looks like, but creating one is the ultimate goal of the Old Gods and their masters. Everything else is a means to that end. I've spent too much time on this at this stage so I'm calling it a day. Summary These adorable little guys all have a lot in common, but there are also many subtle differences not only in appearance, but also in the way they behave. I could spend hours digging in and speculating on details about how each Old God's appearance might further indicate their personality differences, but that's really starting to drag on. Nearly everything I write here is speculative, so I encourage you to drag it through the mud and expose its flaws. I could talk about these things all day so I hope someone actually reads this

Please comment on the Lich King fanfic to support it! 🙂

It's been a week, is there any update today?

Lich Queen Jaina, this is the picture of the Lich Queen that I personally think has the most temperament

Lich King I am a servant of the Old God

Resurrected? I haven't updated for half a month. Will it be updated now? Thanks to the lack of books, I found it while searching. Just speechless. Send some red envelopes to encourage others. Happy New Year to the author!

"Fantasy Repair Notes" mutual help, has been collected

The author is a mastermind. Updates are too slow.

Can the author read more chapters a day? One chapter a day is not enough. I can only read one chapter a month if I keep reading 😭

Are you talking about coincidence? I just happened to play this level in Warcraft Remastered. We have reached the last level, and I feel that the plot of the reset version is exactly the same as the boss. And there are no new units added, nothing like that.

The updates are too slow. Can the author update twice a day?😭
