I think it would be amazing if the entire expansion revolved around the mystery of Azem.
Imagine if 8.0’s main plot centers on the remaining Ascians trying to collect the final five Azem soul fragments — that would make for an epic and compelling story!
See, this is how you escalate.

What is stronger than the WOL at this point? Another corrupted version of themselves, anything else like this spheeeeeeeeene nonsense will always open up a plethora of plot holes.

In my head cannon this villian could be a background force in 8.0 and then end up being confronted as a final climax to 9.0.
