The opening cinematic for World of Warcraft's expansion, Midnight, presents a significant conflict as Xal'atath invades Quel'Thalas, aiming for the Sunwell. Blood Elf leaders Lor'themar and Liadrin confront Xal'atath and her Void beasts but struggle against this powerful force. The Sunwell, historically significant to the Blood Elves, is again under threat. The Light's involvement is emphasized in this encounter, potentially aiding the Blood Elves and Alliance forces in repelling the invaders. The nature of this conflict differs from past encounters involving the Sunwell, as the Light engages actively in this battle.
Xal'atath, the current big bad of the Warcraft universe, commences a full-scale invasion of the Blood Elf homeland Quel'Thalas, targeting the potent Sunwell.
The confrontation between Blood Elf leaders Lor'themar and Liadrin against Xal'atath and her shadowy Void beasts reveals their struggle to stop this new threat.
Maria Hamilton, associate design director on WoW, indicated that while players have previously seen the invasion of Quel'Thalas, this fight differs as the Light plays a crucial role.
With players having thwarted threats to the Sunwell before, the situation remains dire, but the Light empowers Liadrin and the Alliance forces to counteract Xal'atath.
