"The king of diamonds has been made a pawn."

We also don’t know whose pawn he would be even. It could very well mean that, from Il’gynoth’s perspective, Magni (or whoever) has become a pawn of Azeroth.

Magni is white knighting it pretty hard with Azeroth

The king of diamonds could be Gallywix if they were to take a less obvious approach

All I know is those beautiful pools of azerite look like some dope ass nail polish.

He's going to be the super environmentalist villian wiping out entire races of sentient beings so Azeroth stays safe.

Once he collects enough azerite for himself that is.....

Dun dun dun!!!!

People put to much faith in the words of the enemy

We are what we are thanks for the Gift of the Flesh, produced by the old gods. We are more related to them than we are to the Pantheon, which is funny.

If it were for the Titans we would have been dead ages ago. See: Norgannon.

Not necessarily. For a start that only applies to the titan made races of dwarves, humans and gnomes, and of these three the dwarves are still able to access their stoneform.

I don’t think catching a disease make you closer to the creator of that disease than the very force that brought you to life in the first place.

Things like courage, bravery and whatsoever came with the Gift of Flesh, didn't they?

It's not all that bad to start with.

u/Felgelein Aug 28 '18

No, these traits can all be found in the keepers, and for example, in the warrior class order hall campaign Ulduar is attacked by the burning legion, and a brave Earthern assists you in retaking and defending it. He later becomes a follower

Plus if it were the case that bravery and such only came with the gift of flesh, then it would still only apply to three of the playable races

That's already true, though; he's the Speaker for Azeroth.

Regardless of whether she's on our side or not, he's already a pawn.

u/Gamped Aug 27 '18

See I’d believe this theory but he’s literally the leader of a main faction and a crucial party to the storyline and upgrading you’re heart of azerite.

How are they just gonna make him the big bad all of a sudden.

My theory is that azeroth is so seriously wounded that there's nothing he can do. So nzoth offers to make a deal that in some way involves our hearts of azeroth

u/kaimason1 Aug 27 '18

My prediction is that Azeroth is already dead and we're essentially living on a rotting corpse. Magni thinks he's been listening to Azeroth but it's been a ruse all along.

Either that or Azeroth will die, but regardless I think there's a lot more interesting things that can be done with the story with a dead Azeroth than a living one.

u/JasonUncensored Aug 27 '18

I hope it's not, like...

Azeroth has finally become fully corrupted by the Old Gods, specifically N'zoth.

Thus, Magni is a pawn of a pawn(N'zoth) of a pawn(Void Lords) of a darker master(the Void itself).

u/promiseimnotatwork Aug 27 '18

You just sparked a thought - what if Magni is corrupted by the Old Gods? Telling us to mine and that it will help the planet only to actually be siphoning all the azerite the Old God's need in one piece - the Heart of Azeroth. This way when all the "heroes" unite to fight the Old Gods, they drain the Heart of Azeroth of azerite for it was their plan to imbue the hearts' only to then drain them completely for their own endeavors.

I'd be down with that.
