When Stardew Valley first came out in 2016, it was positioned as a Harvest Moon-like. The comparison was the only way at the time to describe a low-stakes farming simulator with a village of locals to meet and perhaps marry. It’s difficult to remember that now, in an era where “cozy gaming” has taken on a life of its own and “wholesome” games have their own showcases with hundreds of thousands of viewers, but Stardew was released into a different world. And then it made this one. Its latest major content release, the 1.6 update, is a testament to the game’s longevity in the genre that it shaped.
Why Do The Titans Want To Preserve This Timeline? Lore Speculation with Nobbel87
11.03.2024 - 01:01 / wowhead.com
Why do the Titans protect this timeline? Is it really the «true timeline», or just the one that most benefits Order? And what would happen if we made changes? Nobbel87 asks these questions in his latest video.
The Titans' True Timeline
This line from Iridikron has been stuck in the back of my mind:
Iridikron's hatred for the Titans is super interesting considering that, without their interference, without them locking away the elemental lords and the Old Gods with the war against the Black Empire, Iridikron would not exist to begin with. And yet we don’t know the full depths of his knowledge yet. He seems to know more about the Titans than what any of us have been shown so far.
We were led to believe that the Titans and their Keepers won a great victory against the Black Empire. It’s only recently that we discovered books which mention the Keepers purging historical records documenting the advancement of the Black Empire and painting that age as one of chaos and misery, a pernicious blight that the Keepers eradicated. With the Old Gods locked in confinement, there should be no evidence available to contradict their assertions. Yet at the same time, we've also traveled back in time. We could see for ourselves what Azeroth was like when the Old Gods ruled the world. We could see them fighting against the elemental lords, just as the history records have always told us.
So what is truth and what is fiction? Who’s to say at this point? I do find the line to be incredibly interesting because if we look at time in World of Warcraft, we know that there is a so-called «true timeline» which beings like the bronze dragons try to preserve. Some changes have been allowed. For example, we have multiple versions of the War of the Ancients—a new version in which time-travelers joined the battle and changed some of the events. So I imagine that key moments still need to happen in order to maintain that true timeline, whereas the details—the path that leads there—are a little bit fluid.
They’ve taken that quite a bit further recently with Nozdormu now working together with the Infinite Dragonflight and alternate Elisande escaping her timeline with knowledge that our Elisande never possessed. The timeline the bronze dragons have been preserving has always been a bit flexible, and yet Iridikron says that the Titans specifically want to preserve this timeline… but why? Why this one and not alternate timelines?
Of course, with speculation anything goes, and time is going to tell. For now, I would go with what we know about the cosmic domains—which is that they’re in a constant tug of war for dominance over the universe.
