Oh my god, all these fuckass NPCs that have been beating my ASS in Heroic World Tier were the agents deployed by the Authorotum lmao
I absolutely *love* how many unique cultural phrases they have for different things, like sun types.
The "glittering crypt" almost certainly means Vilaldoun, so I assume there are quests that will unlock in two weeks here?
These terms are SO Star Wars, and I love getting lore for the crashed Legion ship being a prison break.
The Hal'hadar are led by a group called the "Authorotum", and only assigned Leth'ir to Naigtal to set up what I assume is mana-draining operations. Going to Azeroth was solely for getting the power needed to establish it, which is cool.
All these names are *very* Star Wars lol
This one seemingly takes place after you defeat Leth'ir as a World Boss.
I'm absolutely certain that 'K' is Ky'veza, with the talk about contracts. So she survived her delve!
Stay A While between Decimus and Maella after you defeat the world boss, makes it *very* clear that 12.0.7 doesn't end the ongoing Hal'hadar story.
I really love Decimus so much, I hope they continue to show up going forward in this opportunistic manner.

SO many lore things, oh my god.
Main one that seems most relevant though: Salhadaar is 100% fully dead, so the oaths they all swore to him no longer bind them. Definitely frees up the Ethereals to be way more diverse again like they were in TBC.
None of these are available yet, so I assume from later quests/achievements.
I am absolutely shocked by how much lore is present even just from this one planet in the patch, I wasn't expecting anything this dense until 12.1. Really happy to have so much to dig into.
A Lightforged Monk! Seems like they're also a part of the Lightveil, and deal with runes.
It's very cool to see her using monk animations with Light visuals, that'd make for a *really* good glyph set for a more traditional fantasy monk.
Once you talk to Y'mera, you unlock more files about the Hal'hadar!
It seems like the ones we've been fighting under Leth'ir in 12.0.5 were *not* sanctioned to go to Azeroth by their leaders, so there's clearly other ethereals elsewhere still.

Ooh, the basecamps have consoles with lore info about the planets. I really enjoy seeing the impact of the Legion still present a decade on, makes me miss them lol
I'd love if those unknowns filled in the more we discover stuff through quests.
