Q: The Blood Knights of Silvermoon lack direction. None of them were seen in Northrend, and it is very unclear whether the Order still exists, or if it's been disbanded. It's also very unclear where the Blood Knights obtain their power, now. It used to be the Naaru, but then... remnants of the naaru. Surely these remnants are all but tapped now. Do we obtain power from the Sunwell?

A: As of the end of the Burning Crusade expansion, blood elves who wield the Light do so through the power of the renewed Sunwell. It is a harmonious relationship, no longer one of discord caused by the blood elves' attempts to bend the Light to their will, which will likely have a positive effect on blood elf society in the long run. Look forward to updates that reflect this change in the Silvermoon and Blood Knight quests.

MY question to you, CotH, is how do you interpret this? To me it seems like the elves are simply being given their power of the light now without any struggle. They don't have to work for it, they don't have to steal it. It's a 'harmonious' relationship now, as Blizzard put it.

Q: Who is the arakkoa "master" that Isfar talks about? It is not Terokk…

A: There are more Old Gods than just the ones trapped on Azeroth. It takes a lot for them to become manifested on a physical plane, however; see the quest line in Shadowmoon Valley that ends with "Thwart the Dark Conclave" for more information.

I just thought that one was interesting, and needed to be shared. :B

As for the Blood Knights I wondered and asked a bit about it some time ago and the answer I got is that the Sunwell offer them this charge of Light, which mean they don't have to be all pious like the rest of us light-dogs. As for the Order itself it is usupred into the Shattered Sun Offensive and now operate from Shattrath with Liadrin as their head.

I looked it up later on and found basis in quests and quotes in-game.


WOOT?! I love this, Blizz actually admitted to something factual. Oh how I love that there are more Old Gods elsewhere and not only on Azeroth for some odd reason.
