Breakfast Topic: What secret weapon lies within Uldum?

Looking ahead beyond Icecrown Citadel, one of the zones that intrigue me the most has been around for an extremely long time. In Cataclysm, we're going to finally gain the chance to explore the area.
I'm referring to Uldum of course. Somewhere behind its gates, we'll be given the task of discovering and then securing the super weapon in order to keep it away from the hands (claws?) of Deathwing and from the Horde (or Alliance).
So here's the 64,000 gold question. What on Azeroth could possibly be so powerful to attract even Deathwing's attention? Think about it. He's one of the most powerful beings on the planet that's still alive. Granted he's lost his sanity a long time ago, but he seems lucid enough to go after something that can help amplify his power even further.
My idea? Well we know the Titans were involved in the creation of Ulduar and Uldum. Not only that, but they were responsible for landscaping all of Azeroth. So what if the weapon behind Uldum isn't really a weapon but more of a giant landscaping tool capable of flattening mountains or making really deep holes?
Or maybe it's a weapon similar to the one shown in my favorite science fiction TV show (which is no longer on the air) that has the ability to either create life or destroy it by reshaping their molecular structure? (Hint: Jaffa! Kree!) We will be assaulting the Halls of Origination after all.
Or maybe it's a whole swackload of caged murlocs with giant "lazers" attached to their bodies.
Bad movie references aside, anyone else out there the least bit curious about what we'll be going after in the future? Or what we're keeping away from Deathwing? What could it be?

I wonder if uldum will be a backup plan that the titans implemented if ulduar failed its job. Deathwing knows what the ally and horde are up too (or so ive read) so maybe hes trying to get a foot ahead of the races of azeroth and use the tech in there in someway?

Since Deathwing was corrupted by Old Gods, any "Backup" to Ulduar would be a direct threat to the remaining Old Gods, and something Deathwing would likely want to destroy.
Unless some part of him still exists that wants to break free of their influence...

You get a glimpse of a wierd looking dragon in the trailer so... being lazy i'd say maybe a titan made holographic or techno dragon flight? Heh heh

My guess is that it's got something to do with the Old Gods. Whatever lies in Uldum can make or break them. Deathwing probably wants it to set the Old Gods free or something. We want it because it could help us banish them forever without damaging Azeroth.
Malkia Aug 29th 2009 8:14AM
Honestly, this seems the most likely answer. After all deathwing is a creation of the old gods driving a dragon insane....he serves them still, right?
Thayer Aug 29th 2009 8:24AM
If they had something that could deal with the old gods without destroying Azeroth, they'd have used it ages ago instead of imprisoning said gods.

Perhaps it's the Sword of a Thousand Truths? :D

Ashbringer, of course.
Nick Aug 29th 2009 1:45PM
You guys know JKwood was kidding, right? In vanilla WoW, there were tons of references to Ashbringer and where it was. For instance, Nat Pagle knows where to find Ashbringer.

Maybe that's where the Demon Soul is hidden.
