Thoughts on who will be the 6.0 narrator.

[Eloah]

I don't know if this was posed here or not, but who do we think will be the next story narrator?

Each expansions story has been told to us by a new narrator guiding us through the tale. Based on the current trailer, speculation is that it'll be Emet-Selch, but this sorta feels like a red-herring. He doesn't say anything new, just repeats the lines from Amourot. Anyone have any thoughts on who it could be?

Also these are the narrators I am aware of. Did I miss anyone?

The initial 2.0 narrator was Louisoix Leveilleur
In 3.0-3.3 we had Edmont de Fortemps from his memoirs
In 3.4-3.5 we had Papalymo
In 4.0 we had Lyse
And in 5.0 we had Ardbert
(I don't recall if anything specific was narrated for 4.1-4.5 or 5.1-5.5, though it might be G'raha in the 5.x patches)

EDIT: After watching a bit of the Cider-Spider Twitch stream, it appear Ryne narrates the later half of the 5.3 patch, just after the trial.

The narrator gimmick was cool at first but now it has outstayed its welcome. Would rather they not keep rehashing it.

If they do it again, then it would be interesting if the narrator was Zenos as he observes the WoL through a crystal ball (created by Fandaniel). Would be a refreshing take seeing the big bad eagerly follow his prey's journey towards him. "I'm ending the world to encourage the WoL to come fight me... wait, why is he running around some giant underground bunker in Sharlayan? Oh now he's sailing towards Thavnair... wait, why is doing side quests for elephant people? I AM CAUSING AN APCOLAYPSE! COME HERE YOU TWAT!"

I agree that the narrator gimmick is stale.

My guess with who its gonna be for ew is alohinaud, since the game has been increasingly been making him the main character of the plot.

Emet did some good narration in the trailer. It could be Y'shtola or Krile, but if the scions are all split up in different areas we could see the narration a different scion depending on where you are.

Meh, just add a new minor NPC as the narrator and for the English dialogue have it voiced by Morgan Freeman

David Attenborough could be as great choice as Morgan Freeman XD

I'm going with Hydaelyn (with some spoilery thoughts hidden below)

in her form as presumably Venat, from the end of 5.5

I can't immediately recall what his voice sounds like.

I was originally going to suggest Samuel L Jackson just because the thought of the story narrator talking like a majority of the characters he's played in films seemed humorous.

David Attenborough have a more soft gentle tone, like grandpa sharing his story next to a fire place

I think Samuel L Jackson without those F words would be lacking something
