Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? While there’s no indication that the team behind Echo were fans – or even aware – of Avatar: The Last Airbender, one Marvel fan has spotted an eerily similar parallel to how both shows ended.
Xal'atath in Season of Discovery? The Shadowy Figure That Has Us Wondering
27.12.2023 - 16:01 / wowhead.com
Xal'atath, the Harbinger of the Void, is obviously about to play a major role in retail's upcoming expansions, but has Xal'atath made an appearance in Classic with the Season of Discovery? We investigate.
The Void-Touched Questline
Void-Touched Armaments are powerful Epic items that can be created during Classic's Season of Discovery. The questline and acquisition of this gear involves a mysterious Shadowy Figure who really does seem quite similar to Xal'atath. According to a Dead Twilight Cultist — figuring out how to speak with them is the first step in the questline — he was approached by a sinister presence who compelled him to create "The Box".
She visited me in my dreams. Showed me… The Box. It changed things. Made them better, stronger. Such wonders… But The Box. It was… hungry. I… no idea the cost
The cultist implores us to find and destroy the box… which can only be done with a powerful source of Light.
«I think I understand… but if you couldn't destroy it, how can I?»
The opposite of the void… the opposing force. Light. Hope.
Destroying the box leaves behind a Shard of the Void.
It also causes the Shadowy Figure to appear, offering to show you how to use the Void shard to create a Void-Touched Armament.
Like Xal'atath, she wears the form of a female elf wreathed in shadow — though of course, she's a Night Elf (or perhaps a High Elf...) no Blood or our newer Void Elves in Vanilla Classic! In an image posted to reddit speculating that it's her, she's even holding a curved dagger. Intriguing!
Is It Xal'atath?
A mysterious shadowy elf who gets us to do Void things for her certainly sounds like Xal'atath, but could this be her? It's possible.
First of all, while Xal'atath would have still been trapped in the Blade at this time, that doesn't mean she couldn't take on an avatar. In fact, when she takes on the Void Elf appearance in Battle for Azeroth, it's while she's still stuck in the blade — she's only released later. All Xal'atath really needs is a powerful enough void relic and a corpse.
Secondly, it's also completely within Xal'atath's power to travel through the timelines. After all, we see her leaving with Iridikron during the Dawn of the Infinite dungeon — which takes place in the past. If current Xal'atath wanted to journey to the past mostly just to have fun with Classic Season of Discovery players, there's no reason why she couldn't.
Ultimately, Classic players who have Destroy The Box are left with a powerful item, but a

November/23 Trading Post Weapons Easter Egg in Silithus - Xal'atath and Titans Dialogue
A new easter egg with the Arsenal: Cosmic Weapons Cache rewards from the November/23 Trading Post has been discovered! Thanks to Twitter user Korrin for the tip. The Twilight Hermit is a NPC that was originally added to the game in Battle for Azeroth. The Hermit was already shrouded in mystery back then, as he was the person you would bring the Wriggling Mass you collected during your Island Expeditions. In the quest Wriggling Mass, you would learn that holding the mass would plague you with visions, and by turning it in to the Hermit, you would learn he used to be plagued by the same visions — until the day Sargeras struck Silithus.
