Holy shit I was right!

So, remember that topic I made about Watcher Tyr, and my theory? Well, there was recently a Q&A answering a bunch of lore questions. You can find it here:

Specifically, here's the part concerning Tyr.

Q: What's the relation between The Order of the Silver Hand, Tyr's Hand (City from Lordaeron region) and Watcher Tyr (from Ulduar)?
A: Long ago, on the continent that would eventually become known as the Eastern Kingdoms, a small group of creatures struggled to survive, using the limited supplies provided to it by parents who had just abandoned their children on an unfamiliar shoreline. These creatures, eventually called "humans," would occasionally take to gathering around a fire whilst trying to read from scrolls telling of ancient heroes and leaders – tales from the civilization that had cast these creatures out. One of these scrolls spoke of a great leader, a paragon of order and justice, who sacrificed his right hand in a fight against an unfathomable evil. Although it was within this hero's power to fix his hand after the fighting had ended, the hero instead chose to replace it with a closed fist made of the purest silver. In this way, the hero impressed upon those who followed him that true order and justice can only be accomplished through personal sacrifice. This hero, who slipped into memory long ago, went by the name of Tyr.

I was only wrong about it taking place in the time of those humans, but the connection is still there.

Wow, there is some frigging cool stuff in that thread. Answers about Forsaken and the Light, Varian Wrynn's wife (even if Tiffin is a fuckdumb name) and confirmation that Med'an Stu will not be in Cataclysm.

Yeah, it is a really nice thread. Definitely looking forward to additional installments.

I really like the part on the light, and it's healing effects.

I'm still not convinced about the Goblin shaman.

Dude, her name was "Tiffin E." before she got married. Not her fault Varian Wrynn wasn't named Varian Enormouschin.

Q: Will we be hearing from any of the old or neglected human nations in Cata, specifically Stromgarde, Kul'tiras, and the remnants of Alterac (hey, Deathwing paraded around as an Alterac noble before)?
A: With the revamp of the classic World of Warcraft zones, players will get a chance to see how the fallen nations of Stromgarde and Alterac have fared over the last few years. Kul Tiras, the island nation, will not be visible at the start of Cataclysm – something about tectonic plates shifting it out to sea....

Well, it's something.
