Naga were once night elves but were banished after the Great Sundering.

Oh, was this explained in WoW? I very faintly remembered some connection between N.Elves and Naga but the only thing from the WarCraft series I've played is RoC and TFT x.x

It was explained in TFT. Azshara, the queen of the highborne (nelf aristrocracy) is the leader of the naga.

I think we are going to see a Night Elf type of story from Reign of Chaos, which is by now completely unoriginal.

Amon = Archimonde

Hybrid + Zerg = Burning Legion and Undead

Overmind = Lich King

Protoss units scattered = new units that you will recruit such as druids

Kerrigan + Jimmy = Jaina and Thrall

Light vs. Dark Templars = similar to Night Elf vs. Naga (deep prejudice and pride issues)

I hope we see a completely different story, but this is Blizzard, so I doubt it......



kerrigan would be more of a lich king. first good then turned evil.
broodwar wasn't perfect

I enjoyed the SC1 and BW Protoss story far more than the SC2 retcon. But, enough has already been said about that, so there is no need to re-state it. Besides, it appears that a few novels and graphic novels/comic books can also be regarded as canonical with regards to the story. Apparently some of these are even quite good.

With regard to Aiur, I think the near mystical devotion Protoss have for their homeworld is because their psionic energy is born from Aiur. (Rather like Oa powers Green Lanterns in the DC Universe.) In this sense, if anyone really wanted to destroy the Protoss, I would think they would look to obliterate the planet. Apart from that, pre SC1/BW Aiur looked a damn cool planet, too. I look forward to seeing "Light" and "Dark" Protoss return home to Aiur in LoTV.

DT has nothing to do with HT, different unit, different religion.
In BW in fact, 2 DT become a dark archon, not a "light" archon.

That is the biggest fail from Blizzard.
Second biggest fail is the Viper and the Third is the Mule.

Blizzard quality is at 4 on 10 atm.

Between the 4 years of BW and WoL, the DT's and HT's realized they needed to work together so they worked on combining their energies without losing their sanity in Archon form. Tassadar was the first to realize this, which resulted in him sacrificing himself for the sake of the entire race while in that Carrier at the end of Vanilla (which I forget the name of ._.)

The Viper is a flying defiler with a long tongue, and without the MULE Terrans would have difficulty to stay on par with Zerg.


I would like to believe you, but the reality is that blizzard didn't expend to develop the game and units while expended to marketing and wallpapers...

Protoss has always been weird. They would have to scratch the whole religous stuff to make them somehow credible as an high-tech race, or vis-verca.

Not to mention... their only goal is to kill the zerg. That's the whole reason for Protoss existence, right...?


How can that be their only goal, when they were created before the zerg even existed?

LOTV SPOILERS LOLOLO

Kerrigan in her Queen of Blades form gets friend-zoned by Jimmy. Zeratul breaks the bro-code and starts dating Kerrigan. Of which they consummate their union and birth the Savior who will defeat the artificial Hybrids with his authentic full blown Hybrid Powah.

Oh yes that would make sense, cause Zeratul is like a spy. The Spy who loved me.

Protoss are going to take control of their super plant powers and take root in a planet and make a new Aiur.

I mean, they did go from "MY LIFE FOR AIUR" to "WE CANNOT HOLD"...gg right? I'm just hoping LoTV doesn't become some odd love story between Zeratul and like...Selindis.

Good point, and i would like to point out the difference in appearance between SC1 and SC2. In SC1 zealots look like enigmatic, tall aliens in high tech metal armor. In SC2 they look like Draenei with gas masks. they went far overboard with the religious look in SC2 if you ask me. not to mention the spike-dreadlocks

Agreed. To me, the SC1 Khala always felt more like a philosophy than a religion. The Protoss gave a huge importance to tradition and the old ways because it ended the Aeon of Strife, it was more practical and less mystical. That mystical aspect did exist, especially among the Conclave, but it was much less apparent. When the Conclave stubbornness was discussed in the original game, Tassadar called their beliefs tradition, not religion. That may sound like a subtle difference, but the Protoss mindset was changed significantly between the two games and many changes can be traced back to that.
