Lore Theory (WoD)

[Bambusbar]

Alrighty, so here's what I've been thinking since about a week into Warlords of Draenor.

I think we, the Horde and Alliance, are the ones that cause Outland to explode and by doing so will make us have a self-fulfilling time-line. And by that I mean that there are certain fixed points in time and time makes these events happen whether we try to change it or not.

Outland was destroyed by:

"Outland was created when Draenor became the focus of an attack, via the Dark Portal, of an Alliance expedition aiming to end the orcish threat to Azeroth once and for all. In the midst of the ensuing battle the Elder Shaman Ner'zhul attempted to allow the remaining orcs on Draenor to escape to other worlds by opening other dimensional portals; however the presence of so many portals tore the planet apart, leaving only torn fragments of the former world floating in the Nether, and the barely-habitable remnants were renamed Outland. "

Now I'm not sure how many portals it was, I imagine it was quite a lot.

Theory #1: (Low Probability)

-During this time-line we're the ones that open up too many portals.

Theory #2: (Higher Probability)

-Each faction gets overwhelmed by the Iron Horde to such a degree that the only way to save us is by allowing Ner'Zhul to unleash the Burning Legion upon Draenor and then use the method we know works for destroying Draenor to trap both Burning Legion and Iron Horde on the planet. Therefore saving our timeline from both threats.

Just wanted to talk about it if any of you guys are interested.

What I wanna know is how the Talbuks are so different on the same world just 30 years earlier, wtf is that about? Evolution isnt that fast.. :O

I dont really think it would be in the Alliance/Hordes interrest to help Ner'zul with opening more portals..
Maybe after we defeat the Iron Horde then they will be too weak to stop the attack from the Burning Legion?
Maybe its up to us to stop Draenor in that timeline and alternate reality from becomming Outland?

This is a very interresting indeed..

They really screwed my logics over with this timetravel and saying they arent gonna focus on explaining us why they do stuff like they do :P

Have a nice day!

Well what I'm saying is that the Iron Horde in the end will be too much for us to handle on our own. I mean the only way we were able to stop the orcs last time was by blowing up Draenor and on top of that, as much as the Alliance and Horde have risen technologically, the Iron Horde has also developed a lot faster due to Garrosh. So what I'm saying is that when it gets down to brass tacs, we're not doing enough with only our small contingency of rebels.

So what I think is going to end up happening, is that we "trick" Ner'Zhul into telling the Burning Legion it's okay to come and then BOOM blow up the planet, potentially taking both threats out.

Nerzhul is kill. Also, what makes you think the planet HAS to be destroyed?

I agree the planet doesnt HAVE TO be destroyed. But what you wrote, OP , is a pretty interesting plot, I wouldnt be surprised if Blizz went with that idea.

It's been pretty apparent through the different questlines that there is/was more than just Ner'Zhul working with/for the Burning Legion.

Yeah, the planet doesn't have to be destroyed, but it would be interesting to think about.

Like granted as someone said, Blizzard isn't going to go into the whole time-travel specifics, but for those of you who enjoy thinking about such things- Here's some food for thought:

-What if Draenor becoming Outland is a "fixed point in time", meaning it always gets destroyed one way or another.
