Intriguing speculation about the Sha

[Andine]

1) What makes Pandara so special that negative energy literally manifests itself into a sentient being? Are they drawn here because the land inherently has such a positive vibe that this energy is drawn here like a magnet? Or is it the result of the Pandarens efforts to keep harmony in the land, which in turn makes it that much more appealing for negative energy to come in and "balance things" and/or devour all that is good and kind? Or, is there something else about the land that hasn't been revealed yet that makes negative energy manifest itself into a sentient being?

There is some Titan artifact in the Mogu'shan palace (as seen on the preview maps from BlizzCon), so maybe it's related to that.

I'm still going with the theory that they're creations/manifestations of some sort of N'Zoth, considering they fact that we haven't faced him and that they look so close to the Stain Glass window creatures/depictions of Old Gods.

The whole "light" thing is really interesting though and I'm really excited to see what's going to come out of all this

"What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Unless it's rose in Demonic
then we just burn the place to the ground."

I am always amazed by how much lore/knowledge people have that they can make all these connections. Then to speculate based on that on what might happen...I really wish I could retain that kind of knowledge. I cant even remember the names of the bosses I've been killing over and over in cata dungeons...nor even know WHY lore wise I have to go kill them...

I've only ever really been able to understand some basics of the repetative lore stuff, like ragnaros, deathwing, Arthas...

Me too, I'm always a sucker for a decent mystery. Just remember everyone: Without the light, there can't be no shadows, only darkness. Just something more to wrap your brains around with regards to the whole "Sha" thing
