Since they're suddenly going with the "Kalimdor was Azeroth's *largest* continent" angle, there'd be an easy explanation for the fifth Old God: It landed or otherwise set up shop on one of the other landmasses that we've yet to see.
(That, or it was the smart one of the bunch and hid out somewhere, realizing that subjugating elementals and generally starting trouble would be a great way to bring the wrath of
God
Aman'thul down on your head...)
Well if Blizz wants to do more expansions after the Broken Isles went all demonic they will need somewhere else. Not to mention for N'Zoth to show up. Unless they plan for him to be like Ulduar in Wrath and end up in Legion.

So Adamsm, since you've read Chronicles by now.... that spoiler about Sargeras? True or false?

Considering every demon's evident immortality, I imagine we'll be seeing a lot more of that. Seriously, they may as well bring Kael'thas back at this point. They already dragged Illidin out of the grave.

It's expected; the Dreadlords are the confirmed ones who can come back again and again unless they are killed in the Nether. If we'll see the other races do it too well, who knows.

I really like that we (The players) get a really cool title when we unlock the Class Hall.
Too bad its not an actual "title" title, as in, we can't select it from a menu and display it, but rather, its an in-story title, as in, Every NPC is gonna refer to us by that word, as opposed to the more mundane "Champion" or "Hero".
All of them are class-specific, and while some of them are awesome, others are still pretty generic.
Here's the current list: (Along with my personal opinion of each)
Death Knights: The Deathlord (AWESOME!!!!!)
Demon Hunters: The Illidari Master (Lame)
Druids: The Arch-Druid (Not very creative, since its shared by quite a few NPCs, but whatever, I'll take it)
Hunters: Master Hunter (SUPER LAME!!!! really? this is the best they could come up with? Out of all the titles hunters have at their disposal, from Beastlord, to Ranger, and they stick with Master Hunter? booooo)
Mages: The Conjuror of Tirisgarde (Okay-ish)
Monk: The Grand Master (Again, pretty generic.)
Paladin: Highlord of the Silver Hand (Predictable, since this was Tirion's title, and we more or less succeed him, but still a cool title)
Priest: The Cardinal (Awesome!!! :P Personally, I would have preferred "POPE!!!" but whatever, Cardinal is also awesome, and higher in rank than Arch-bishop. Suck on that Benedictus!!!!!!)
Rogue: Master Assassin (Sheesh, again with the master? I'm starting to feel like "master" is just code-talk for "We just can't come up with anything better")
Shaman: Farseer (Not bad, but I was expecting something cooler like Stormlord. Shamans have some of the most badass and varied sobriquets in the game, so I'm kinda saddened that they chose one of the simpler ones)
Warlock: Overlord (Unexpected. This one sound a lot more like a warrior title than warlock, but considering their theme of dominating lesser demons, the glove fits)
Warriors: The Skylord (Sweet jebus, we got a winner here folks. We have a winner.)

Yeah. Out of everything in Legion I'm less than thrilled for, I am looking forward to Class Halls and artifact weapons. For class halls because I really want to hope that they learned from their mistakes in Warlords with the garrisons, for artifact weapons because all the classes I play sound like they get some badass equipment.

It's 50 bucks and hard cover; right now I'm strapped for cash so I can't get it.

The "Will of the Void" stuff?
It's true, more or less. The details from upthread aren't entirely accurate, though. Not every world has an Old God infestation or a world soul. The Old Gods were sent out into the universe by the Void Lords in order to corrupt those souls, but they were pretty much shot out instead of aimed.
As for Sargeras, he wasn't so much corrupted by the Void Lords as he saw how futile it was to fight them and decided the best option was to just destroy everything so they wouldn't have anything to infest. (So basically the Void Lords take the place of "a bunch of demons" in causing his fall.) When the rest of the Pantheon tried to convince Sargeras that this weird little worldsoul called Azeroth would one day grow more powerful than all of them and stop the Void Lords, he killed them.

However, the Titans didn't die. Their souls returned to Azeroth and linger within the remaining Titanic watchers. (this means that Lei Shen literally wielded the power of a Titan, and he sought to complete their prime directive.)
I am disappointed that the Old Gods themselves are little more than pawns. Also they completely retconned the fifth Old God into oblivion.

Well, N'Zoth has been revealed. Kind of a let down. I mean he looks impressive, but kind of lacks the strangeness of Yogg and C'thun. He looked more like a giant squid, which I admit does make a degree of sense, but again, lacks a bit of that other-worldliness and creepy factor the other two had with their wholly alien appearance.
Post by
Rankkor
not to mention that he lacks the "focus on one body-part multiplied by a large number" factor.
A few pages back, we talked about this, one was about eyes, another about mouths, another about heads. Would've been nice if N'zoth was about fingers or something.

I;m going to imagine Blizz's art team wanted to focus on noses or ears, but the higher ups feared it would be seen as "silly".

Well, N'Zoth does sound like someone sneezing.

If they're going for a nose theme, they REALLY need to give him a very nasal voice :P
