I posted this thread on the european story forums as well, but I would love to see reactions outside of europe and that specific part of the forums. It is a very interesting theory after all. I would like to appologize in advance for the many spelling mistakes and horrifying sentences, I will possibly get rid of those once i have time. Seeing as i'm short on it right now. I'd also like to warn you for spoilers.
Did you know, when you do the dominance offensive quest lines/shieldwall in dalaran, and you go to the edge of the city, you see no crystalsong forest underneath, when you look north, you see no icecrown and no storm peaks. Which you do see in the current patch.
When you jump off. Water. This strongly suggests that dalaran IS infact in motion already, and not in northrend anymore.
Where is it moving? Eastern kingdoms? Kalimdor? Nobody knows yet, but heck, there's a possibility we might even see it above orgrimmar soon!
But there's another twist in this theory, when they datamined stuff for patch 5.1 at first, there was an item added to the scarlet monasteries: Ancient tome of teleport.
It teaches you a spell, "teleport dalaran" it takes you to the dalaran craters, where as you all might know, dalaran used to be! in hillsbrad!
This would be a great thing for a next expansion, and it strongly suggests it might be a next expansion. Think of the possibilities? So many things could happen!
Lordaeron
With dalaran as an alliance city now, which most likely won't change, the alliance might start to retake lordaeron, or try to. Of course the forsaken won't let this happen, making this an ideal story setting for the war, giving it a lot of fuel.
The return of heroes
Lordaeron is the place where the two lost heroes met each other, Turalyon and Alleria, perhaps they could make a grand entrance again?
And they're not the only missing lore person! Calia Menethil is also lost? (Her mother too, if i'm not mistaken?) She could claim the throne of lordaeron again, and perhaps challenge Sylvanas if she is undead. I am sure the undead won't know who to follow, the rightful heir to the throne, or the one that freed them?
Perhaps some mages we haven't seen for a while might make an appearance again, Khadgar?
New zones
We all know the zone north of the western plaguelands, the zone we don't know what's in there, perhaps we could see it open up? What could we find there?
But of course there are other lordaeron parts we haven't seen yet! Kul'tiras anyone?
Jaina would love to see her father's home again, wouldn't she? What happened to it?
Don't forget Stratholme, it has a lot of potential.
Horrors
First we had garrosh the warmonger, but let's not forget the horrors Sylvanas commit. Val'kyrs into the horde and then... Koltira! I'm sure the knights of the ebon blade are not happy with him missing, he's horde now, that's for sure, but what happened to their "brothers in death code?" Dk lore would be lovely.
I am also sure there will be more inside the horde that don't like sylvanas that much, neither do alliance.
Scarlet crusade
Could it be there are any left of them? Those that returned from icecrown perhaps, we could see the return of paladins again, and the cenarion circle healing the land!
So many questions! So many possibilities! Could this be?
P.S. Mayor Props for Cradien the rogue!
