The QoB, as others have mentioned, was a separate entity inside Kerrigan's mind with green skin and glowing orange eyes. Re-infested Kerrigan is still, mentally, Sarah Kerrigan. Side note, but the immortal level-up portrait is gorgeous. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + The term Primal Queen came from the achievement list site/ where Existor extracted some more campaign knowledge (http://sea.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/508240/1/pebriniel/achievements/category/3211287) and the one Blizzard got rid of during maintanance :-( One of the last portraits where Kerrigan was shown in "purple QoB" form said Primal Queen. And one of the Zerus achievements said something about Primal Hatches so she obviously will become the Primal Queen at some point after going back to Zerus | ||

Here is my small fanart. This is recreated portrait of Emil Narud, using small 100x100 pixels portrait and basic Narud portrait from Wings of Liberty. I've decided to design it similar to Kerrigan's purple artifacts on the face, or Illusive Man's blue artifacts from Mass Effect 3. What we know from Starcraft: Flashpoint is that Emil Narud have Xel'Naga artifact which dezergified Queen of Blades back to Sarah Kerrigan. This artifact also can kill any Zerg and Protoss DNA and can be massive weapon against those two races. How it will go - we will see, but I hope, it will be really great or just epic story. | ||

And Stetman in the campaign found out that it can drain Protoss energy and basically drain their psychic abilities/energies so they would die from it. But what if it doesn't destroy them. As i wrote above at least for Protoss it has clearly been stated, that it drains their energies so it might save them in some battery-ish manner. That reminded me of the known Xel'Naga temple we encountered on Bekar Rho and various other planets. Where the temple emerged out of nothing, attracted Protoss and Zerg and kind of absorbed their energy and (for Zerg) DNA. When it was "fully loaded" a firebird/phoenix-like creature emerged from the temple and flew into space. In the DT trilogy Zeratul followed one of them. It met in outer space with others of its kind and created a wormhole that brought zeratul somewhere. We still don't know where (Blizzard pls!!!! o.O). My theory so far was that this is kind of either an emergency plan of the Xel'Naga in order to melt the races by gathering their material and fuse it together to rebirth the new Xel'Naga race OR it was set up by the Dark Voice so he can gather the material for his abomination-xel'naga. Either way... I can't stop imagining the artefact to be like a portable temple. You know... like the explosion on Char might have gathered some Zerg material already and now this "weapon" needs some Protoss energy as well. Maybe it's a more advanced version (since it's smaller/portable) compared to the temples but will there be another energy-phoenix when it's done with whatever it does? Gathering the Material might explain why Narud became leader of Moebius in order to find the pieces and why he fought to get it back in Flashpoint. And since there was a hots-achievement "find out the true meaning of the artifact" i would die to know the answer right now ;-) and i bet it's got something to do with this. While writing this and thinking about it all over again I wonder why the artefact was split into pieces and scattered all over the sector. Dark Voice is apparently a Xel'Naga but they refer to him as the Fallen One. They distinguish between the cyle (normal way of Xel'Naga rebirth) and the unnatural hybrids (technologically fused Zerg and Protoss that serve as Dark Voices army). So what if the artifact is a weapon/device made by the Dark Voice in order to create his own kind (that would explain it being more advanced since it was created later then the temples but does the same thing...) . The other Xel'Naga found out about it, said it was unnatural, kicked him out for his bad attitude ( ;-) ) and dismantled the artifact and hid its pieces so it can "never" be found again? Any opinions on that? | ||
