End of the Shadowlands Story Hints – Datamined VO Between Primus and Bolvar (Spoilers)

The end of the Shadowlands story hints at a potential, if not probable future for World of Warcraft. Datamined VO between Primus and Bolvar implies an imminent invasion by Legion forces, with dramatic consequences for Azeroth’s infrastructure and ecology. The ramifications could be huge as it would require a complete overhaul to combat such an enormous threat.

The “world of warcraft: shadowlands” is a datamined VO between Primus and Bolvar. The two discuss the Shadowlands and their history together.

Some audio lines between the Primus and Bolvar have been datamined, and they may hint at what occurs at the conclusion of Shadowlands. There will be major spoilers ahead.

SPOILERS!!! There may be major plot twists ahead.

The Jailer’s Ending

We’ve extracted several Primus and Bolvar voice lines from the 9.2 PTR. However, the actual context of these audio lines is uncertain, although at least one of them seems to be unambiguous about the Jailer’s destiny.

The following is a quotation from the video:

The Jailer, who tortured so many people and put in motion the undead epidemic on our planet many years ago, has finally been defeated.

From this paragraph, it seems that we will destroy the Jailer, however it is unknown how we will do it at this time. It’s always conceivable that this vocal line is no longer in use and that the plot has changed.

The Wills’ Crown

The following are the other two lines:

The Crown of Wills, which attempted to tie us, shall be remade. Imbued with the willpower of those who stood up to Domination.

At the present, we only know a few details regarding the Crown of Wills.

Chapter 5 of the Patch 9.2 Campaign is now available.
In Classic World of Warcraft, the Crown of Wills was the key item in a quest chain.

The Crown of Wills gives us some information on the Crown of Wills, presuming they are the same entity. Chapter 5 of the 9.2 campaign is not accessible on the PTR, but The Crown of Wills does.

The Crown of Will’s description is as follows:

Lady Sylvanas had Mug’Thol and his ogre warband despatched to Alterac to reclaim the Crown of Will. Sadly, rather of returning it, the moron chose to try it on… I guess ogres can’t seem to stay away from anything flashy and brilliant.

His fumbling deeds, on the other hand, have become a problem. He was able to resist the possession placed upon him to serve Lady Sylvanas thanks to the Crown of Will.

According to this outdated quest text, the Crown of Will allowed an ogre to withstand Lady Sylvanas Windrunner’s captivity. We finally overcome him, reclaim the Crown of Will, and turn it in during the search for the Crown of Will.

The Crown of Will’s description is as follows:

All that’s left is for Sharlindra to get the Crown of Will in the Undercity. She’ll see to it that it gets to Lady Sylvanas. I would caution you against attempting to exploit it for your own ends; Mug’Thol’s fate should serve as sufficient example.

So… Lady Sylvanas Windrunner is the last known location of the Crown of Wills, and this Crown has been known to aid a wearer in resisting control… and maybe even Domination! We’ll have to check whether the Crown of Wills stated in Classic WoW and the one mentioned in Patch 9.2 are the same thing.
