The Mysterious Shadowlands Patch 9.2 Rune Teaser and Sepulcher of the First Ones

This new patch for World of Warcraft brings not only a boatload of content, but also some world-changing changes including the introduction of PvPvE game modes. This is an important step in WoW history and players are already talking about how it’ll impact the future. But what’s next? Well…

The “shadowlands release date” is a patch that will be released on the 25th of September. The patch includes the Sepulcher of the First Ones and Rune Teaser.

Blizzard released a mystery teaser picture for Shadowlands Patch 9.2 earlier today, which included multiple runes.

Steve Danuser, the Warcraft narrative lead, tweeted a quotation from Tazavesh’s Expedition Report A37J – Part 4, which gives extra context to the picture.

The sentence in the tweet is from a bigger chapter in a book recovered in Tazavesh about a Broker’s effort to get entry to the Sepulcher. While this story may be false, we get the impression that the Sepulcher might provide access to a strong cosmic force of creation and destruction that predates the other six powers.

What is the First People’s Sepulcher?

The Characteristics of the Six (Possibly Seven, Possibly Infinite)

One of the beliefs transmitted to me by Irik-tu stayed in my mind—a superstition I rejected as the imaginative mythology of an uncivilized society.

Because, as you can see, transcending what is taught and retaught by so-called experts who are only interested in a small range of possibilities requires a genuinely outstanding intelligence. Irik-tu talked about a thousand truths, which I first mistook for a sign of indecisiveness.

But the key to understanding the First Ones’ words was to let go of my preconceptions and embrace a bigger reality beyond them.

Suddenly, I saw the pattern and its fractals as layers of overlapping truths, rather than a single truth.

There are species whose essence is essentially different from our own, just as we know from our earliest moments of awareness that Death is the basis of all existence.

Imagine, therefore, that each of these opposing forces could—and I emphasize might, since the fractals may still reveal another path—be personified by a slew of transcendent beings as strong as our own Eternal Ones, based on the facts I’ve given you.

I’ve just scratched the surface of the realities that lead me closer to the Sepulcher, and I’ll spend every waking second to finding out where it is.

Good reader, I have a few last questions for you to ponder.

What if the mortal plane isn’t a faraway nook of reality created by the First Ones to provide us with souls and anima, as some have suggested?

What if it’s the very center of reality, where Death is only one of many powerful forces at work?

What does this mean for mortal souls and their potential if this is true?

And if the six (or seven, or… pardon my imprecision) vie for it, may they be motivated by the unconscious knowing that there is another power beyond our comprehension that also wants it?

In the geometry, there is so much to learn. There are so many realities in the intersections. Fractals are a kind of fractal.

I’m not going to stop looking for the Sepulcher until I’m proved wrong. Until I see the pattern with my own eyes and the realities are unveiled in front of my eyes.

I am at your disposal,

The Devout Al-firim

We witnessed the Jailer exit via a fractal-esque portal to the Sepulcher of the First Ones at the close of the Sanctum of Domination Cinematic Finale, a site that houses forbidden information that the Jailer is pursuing. In the last phase of the covenant battle, the leaders, led by the Primus, devise a strategy to track down the Jailer and prevent him from accessing the Sepulcher of the First Ones and reordering the universe with the information contained inside.

At the conclusion of the campaign, Tal-Galan and Ve’nari have another talk in which the zone Zereth Mortis, or “realm of the First Ones,” is introduced. Many people have speculated that “Zereth” and “Azeroth” are related in some manner, explaining part of Azeroth’s significance in the cosmos. We’ll most likely find out in the development update tomorrow!
