I've been wondering that too. Every 2.X patch had a ton of Uldah related questlines, often diluting what was supposed to be the focus of the patch (ramuh and shiva in particular). The recurring villain through it all was that guy that wanted Omega Weapon. I know "before the fall" is supposed to refer to Ishgarde, but the Uldah storyline is still far from over. Didn't 2.4 end with the Sultana admitting her plan to make Uldah a democracy, and end hundreds of years of rule?

We NEED 2.5 to end with dragons and Ishgarde warring, but still strange that this massive change to Uldah is left pending. Yet if they mesh the storylines into one patch, it will lessen the impact of both events.
