What if Our Nel visits Canon Azeroth?

Not too long ago, renndor came up with something.  The idea of what if our Nel, the one who didn't die, got cured and such...some how found his way to canon Azeroth.  

Canon Azeroth where the Aspects were...blech...created from actual proto-dragons and of course Deathwing dies, got blasted by Dragon Soul to the face, and the Aspects have been depowered.

So, my theories have been basically that world is pretty much doomed.  The Old Gods won, for starters.  They got rid of the Aspects like they wanted, one way or another.  Whether the raiders knew it or not, they pretty much played right in the hands of the Old Gods.  So, though the doom is for now unnoticeable.  Sometimes, a world dying basically takes time.  The mortals on the planet wouldn't really know what was happening because it would be very, very sluggish.  But it may not be unlike well...what happened in the movie The Core,  or the Crack in the World.  Or Roland Emmerich's 2012.  Hell, that film alone could give a lot of us a good idea of what could be happening to the actual planet of Azeroth without its Earth Warder to keep it stable or its Spell Weaver to help keep the electromagnetic field up, which protects everyone from the solar wind.  Or its Lifebinder from making sure that fauna that contributes to the upkeep of the planet's ecosystem is in balance, or its Dreamer that keeps the flora in balance as well as dreams...kinda up in arms around why the hell do we really need an Aspect of Dreams?  Earth, I get, Time, I get, Life, I get, Magic, since it's energy, I get.  But Dreams?  Well, Ysera is the girl who keeps the back up Azeroth protected if they need it.  Best thing I can think of.

Restart button, right?

Neltharion needs those old blueprints so he can know what he needs to fix, so meh, there's Ysera's job.

I always saw her as more Aspect of Nature rather than Dreams.  Making sure the trees are digesting carbon dioxide and spitting out oxygen, but at a percentage that isn't toxic to the current life forms that breathe it and all.  


She also makes sure the plankton is doing what it needs to do too while Neltharion takes care of the THC, the Thermohaline Circulation, or the Great Global Conveyor Belt.  On Earth, it's the thing that was mostly responsible for 90% of plants and animals being extinct prior to the coming of the Dinosaurs.  The largest extinction ever recorded.  What was it caused by?  A gigantic super continent at the center of the globe, aka Pangea.  And said continent, due to a lot of the planet's volcanoes being exposed at the time, a gigantic mountain range splitting the middle (Appalachian Mountains, my home, you know) fucking up air flow, and too much land vs. fresh water ratio, caused the most terrible drought ever discovered.  And because the ocean current had to swing around this gigantic land mass, that shut the conveyor belt that helped in mixing nutrients, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen through the oceans, which caused the main source of our weather and air to shut down.  Well, you can see why only 10% of life still barely made it out.

Guess what Azeroth had before the Sundering?  Ten thousand years ago?

Kinda makes that whole Aspect thing even more important, don't it?

Still, ever so now an then our THC does shut down.  So far, Azeroth from all we've ever known, has never seen an extinction, at least not as big as the ones we periodically have on our planet.  Why?  Again, the Aspects.  They kinda keep that from happening.

Now, you know what Alexstrasza's job is.  Take care of life?  Heh...if only it was that simple.

It takes one thousand years for a grain of sand to travel our own conveyor belt, start to finish.  So, I'm guessing that it's the same for Azeroth given that it's a similar size and mass to Earth.

But our big extinction and the THC shutting down happened very slowly.  And went unnoticed by most of life for a very long while, until the drought happened and water became scarce.

So, here's the thing.  Doomed canon Azeroth don't have the Aspects there anymore, or at least as they are anymore.  The Earth-Warder is dead, the Spell Weaver is also dead, and then replaced, and then depowered.  The Time Lord, Life-Binder, and Awakened Dreamer are also depowered.  

So, basically, no Aspects.

And then out of the blue, our Earth-Warder comes popping out of some portal from the safe Azeroth.  And after a few looks of confusion, Neltharion then sees that he's not on his Azeroth, and also senses that this Azeroth is very well fucked.


Now here is a note I do need to make.  My theories of Azeroth is that Azeroth currently holds the position of Venus when it comes to the green zone for life to grow.   As in, it's a little close to its own sun.  I kind has this theory for a while due to how large Azeroth's sun looked in the game.  So, basically Neltharion's job was basically the guy who had to maintain the global thermostat and set it to a proper temperature for liquid water to exist on this world.

And again, I get this from canon due to how Ragnaros goes on about purging the world with fire.  Deathwing says the world will burn.  The Hour of Twilight is all about burning.  So, yeah.  The world the Old Gods want is...



Welcome to Azeroth: Population burnt to a crisp.

Sulfuric clouds, choking, flattening everything.  Dense clouds.  Greenhouse effect gone way out of whack.  

I'm guessing a lot of methane is in the atmosphere to make Azeroth nice and toasty.  You know, people go on about carbon dioxide being a bad greenhouse gas, right?  It ain't got nothin' on methane.  I know double southern negative, fuck you.

But in all seriousness, methane is the runaway greenhouse gas that turns a nice, pretty green and blue Azeroth into Venus.

Because with the shutdown of the THC on Earth, a lot of methane was released into the atmosphere here and raised global temps to 12 degrees.  Doesn't sound like much, right?  Think about the hottest day in where you live right now.  Hottest one you've ever been through.  Now raise that 12 degrees.

Think about the hottest day in say Death Valley.  Raise that 12 degrees.

Think about how hot it is in Antarctica during the Southern Hemisphere summer solstice , and then raise that 12 degrees.

Makes a big difference don't it?

Then, think about your winters.  How cold it gets, and then just raise that temp to 12 degrees.  Winter becomes non existent.  Hell, most winters would feel like spring or fall.  Summer becomes so hot, unless you have great air conditioning, you'll suffer from heat strokes while in doors.

Yeah.

12 degrees was all it took to kill off 90% of life on the land and the water.  

But the Old Gods want total extinction 100%.  They want Venus.  There you go.

So, now we have our Nel there, and he's pretty much sensing that Azeroth is slowly turning into Venus.  Very slowly.  So far, by the time Warlords has happened, global temps have risen maybe 3 degrees above the normal.  Enough to make a nice hot summer and a very mild winter for both hemispheres at least.

But Nel can sense it.

So, here's the idea for you guys.  Call this an exercise for your own creativity.  What would happen with our Nel in the canon Azeroth?  

How would the Aspects react if they saw him?

How would Thrall react?

Or hell, what would they say if they notice him trying to fight against the damage already happening on Azeroth?  I'm sure Nel would come out and just say: "Hey, by giving up your powers, you've doomed your planet.  Tell me, was killing this universe's version of me worth it?"

We came up with a speculation that Nel being there would stabilize their Azeroth.  But the problem is that if he left, their Azeroth would once more start its slow descent into becoming Venus.

Nel himself knows if he doesn't return to his own world, it's gonna get screwed up, but he can't just leave this Azeroth too, right?

So, work that brain.  Come up with something.

Also, on a side note.  We've done some calculating of Neltharion's flight speed.  Using this...




















This guy cannot get winded, EVER!  He just thinks he can.  It's all in Neltharion's head that he believes he needs to breathe, eat, sleep, drink.  Maybe even poop.  Dunno.  

I did have my own theory that because of Nel's density, anything carbon that goes into his body, gets crushed by his mass, and comes out as a diamond.

Meaning, Neltharion is like Quark from Lunar: The Silver Star Story.  Because that's where Dragon Diamonds come from.  Yes, it is disgusting.



But he's cuter when he looks like this.
