This leak says something about Rastakhan's Empire, (King of the Zandalari).
"Rastakhan's empire was sinking into the sea, and Zul had a way out - Rastakhan supported the Zandalari's efforts to make a new troll empire. Vol'jin has said that it was Rastakhan's plan to unite the troll tribes. However, he was against the plan to resurrect Lei Shen." -Wowpedia
It states that after Cataclysm, Zandalar broke in two, and Rastakhan's side started to slip into the ocean. Could this mean the expansion will future Trolls, Naga's, Vrykul and Pirates?
(Edit* Maybe it will even feature Mogu? )
No, not Vrykul. Vrykul are native to the colder parts of Azeroth. Zandalar is tropical. Mogu are on the opposite side of the world.
Nagas and Pirates, probably some of them, but since this is Zandalar the main focus of the expansion will be trolls. It is a troll empire, after all.
This supposed leak is fake. Just doing a basic Google search Secrets of the Sea is a novel written by Callum Roberts. The name is copyrighted already and there's no way Blizzard would waste money on buying the rights to use that as the title of their next expansion.
That's not how copyright works. A book is not a game. To claim infringement, one would need to establish that the name was intended to capitalize on the success of the book and confuse potential customers that some sort of affiliation or endorsement exists.

I don't really have much knowledge of the lore in WoW, I just read what the wiki says. And it said something about resurrecting the King of the Mogu so thats why I presumed that maybe Mogu would be involved.
Also maybe the poster on 4chan confused Vrykul with Kvaldir? (I know Kvaldir are Vrykul-like Pirates).
@HighvoltagezThere should be a card in Boomsday that predicts the next expansion. If you look at Arcane Dyanmo art you see this jellyfish like creature that could suggest a sea related theme.

C'mon lol, the expansion has Rastakhan is its name, it is clearly mostly focused on trolls. If that fake leak was legit don't you think it would mention, idk, the focus race of the set instead of supplementary ones? XD
so is he calling all of us seriously mentally defective? if we are right what does that make him then? we should make a poll see who thinks if fake vs legit.
Yes, I am. Given all the reasons why it is fake you need to be defective to ignore it. I mean, seriously, how can you fall for BS like ''the working title is'' when HS expansions don't have a working title this close to Blizzcon. Why is that? Because they are made a year in advance!

Sorry, I did not see the working title bit. So you think it is all fake.
It is all obviously fake. As I've explained, it is a pile of fake nonesense compiled with some stuff that we already knew to make it look legitimate. Working title, OW storyline that is dropped in lootboxes, D3 class...all fake. There is also no reason whatsoever to trust this source. It could be me writing all that nonsense. It could be you. It could be someone else from the forum. Anyone could come up with a bunch of stuff and call it a Blizzcon leak :) Anyway, now we know that it is fake and I'm honestly glad. I'd hate to be spoiled for Heroes of the Storm xD

Ugh, stop being a buzzkill. Just let everybody get excited about it.
Do you think blizz is up to this -multiple ending shannanigans- like GoT is doing?
Could they be leaking multiple plausible expansions just to have us taliking about it?
Nah. The multiple ending thing is due to everyone wondering how it's going to end. It's feeding on already established hype and making them go nuts.
A leak about the next expansion means everyone gets on the hype train a few days in advance. However, we aren't going that gaga over the name enough to warrant a mass of fakes. Easiest option is to just 'let slip' hints or the real title a few days early and boom, done.
Sidenote that's WHY I'm in this thread. It's less about "OMG OMGO OGM WE KNOW THE NAME NOW!" and more the traditional starting the engines of the hype train.
So let's do this. GET ON THE HYPE TRAIN BABY! CHOO CHOOO!!!
Oh stop the poo pooing you cynical #()$#(s. If you didn't care you'd be in some other forums hyping up that game. If you're reading this you might as well get riding!
CHOO #($)#* CHOO!!!

I'll add it in the description. +1
People realize that this information is being intentionally released to build momentum and excitement, right?

Image may confirm troll themed expansion.

Previous leak was cooler (and broad enough to make everybody happy)...
