Spoiler Alert! Please don’t read any further if you don’t want spoilers!

The good folk at Adriacraft have datamined a chunk of audio files associated with the Wrathion Legendary Quest Chain, which include far more, including some exciting information on the Thunder King!

The audio is available in full at the bottom of the page, as well as commented on in the video above with our very own Li’l Missy, of TankSpot, Convert2Raid and, of course, Gamebreaker TV! The audio starts off slow, with some elements of Wrathion joining forces with the Shado-Pan, charging some metal with electricity and the like, before it moves on to the more interesting elements.

You and Wrathion seem to happen upon some Runestones, telling the story of the Titans, the Mogu and the Old Gods, and giving us some insight on how they tie together. According to this runestone, the Mogu were Titan Constructs, soul-less creatures built of stone, made mortal by the Curse of Flesh. However, they found a way to reverse the process. Their master was a Titan Keeper, by the name of Ra, and in Mogu dialect, Ra-Den simply means Master Ra. Another runestone makes mention of an Old God Y’Shaarj, with seven heads, who could be the source of the Sha infestation on Pandaria.

Wrathion continues, talking about how The Vale of Eternal Blossoms is essentially a laboratory for the Titans, like Un’goro Crater or Sholazar Basin, which the Mogu were sent to Pandaria to guard. But for 1,000 years they had no word from their masters, and their bodies had turned to flesh. They began to argue, and fell into warrior clans, but one king was more ambitious than the others: Lei Shen, the Thunder King. When the Titan keeper fell silent, Lei Shen decided to speak for him, and took on the power of Ra-Den, united the Mogu into an empire and tried to continue the Titans’ work…

    As a lore lover (we all lust for Josh Allen) 

    I honestly did not expect much Titan Old God Lore in this expansion. I figured that this was a chance for Blizzard to expand and introduce some new stuff before a serious return of the Old Gods/Titans expansion. They’ve done really well in this.

    cool stuff, honestly I am surprised the titans have not already come back with us having been messing with all their junk left behind.

    Eh, either go all out or go home. When you say the word spoiler for two minutes straight, you are allowed to talk about anything and everything relevant to the subject at hand. Anyone who cares about the lore already knew about Ysharj (sp, damn Old God gibberish) and the mantid, since they, you know, tell you outright. 

    We already knew some of the mogu stuff, but more about Lei-Shen and Ra-Den is always good.

    And Olivia, Wrathion is two years old, he likes pushing buttons just as mush as he likes manipulating all around him; just like a real two year old.
