Xal'atath, the Harbinger of the Void, is obviously about to play a major role in retail's upcoming expansions, but has Xal'atath made an appearance in Classic with the Season of Discovery? We investigate.
The Void-Touched Questline
Void-Touched Armaments are powerful Epic items that can be created during Classic's Season of Discovery. The questline and acquisition of this gear involves a mysterious

who really does seem quite similar to Xal'atath. According to a Dead Twilight Cultist - figuring out how to speak with them is the first step in the questline - he was approached by a sinister presence who compelled him to create "

".
Then she came.
She visited me in my dreams. Showed me... The Box. It changed things. Made them better, stronger. Such wonders... But The Box. It was... hungry. I... no idea the cost
The cultist implores us to find and destroy the box... which can only be done with a powerful source of Light.
No time... you must... finish it. Find it... the box. Somehow. It... won't stay lost... not forever. He can't be allowed to... find it...
"I think I understand... but if you couldn't destroy it, how can I?"
The opposite of the void... the opposing force. Light. Hope.
Destroying the box leaves behind a
Осколок Бездны
.
"All that remains of the box is a tiny sliver of perfectly black crystal. It seems to draw in and consume the light."
It also causes the Shadowy Figure to appear, offering to show you how to use the Void shard to create a Void-Touched Armament.
Like Xal'atath, she wears the form of a female elf wreathed in shadow - though of course, she's a Night Elf (or perhaps a High Elf...) no Blood or our newer Void Elves in Vanilla Classic! In an

speculating that it's her, she's even holding a curved dagger. Intriguing!
Is It Xal'atath?
A mysterious shadowy elf who gets us to do Void things for her certainly sounds like Xal'atath, but could this be her? It's possible.
First of all, while Xal'atath would have still been trapped in the Blade at this time, that doesn't mean she couldn't take on an avatar. In fact, when she takes on the Void Elf appearance in
Battle for Azeroth
, it's while she's still stuck in the blade - she's only released later. All Xal'atath really needs is a powerful enough void relic and a corpse.
Secondly, it's also completely within Xal'atath's power to travel through the timelines. After all, we see her leaving with Iridikron during the Dawn of the Infinite dungeon - which takes place in the past. If current Xal'atath wanted to journey to the past mostly just to have fun with Classic Season of Discovery players, there's no reason why she couldn't.
Ultimately, Classic players who have
Уничтожение коробки
are left with a powerful item, but a pretty strong sense of unease.
You've destroyed The Box. You should feel relief but you feel a sense of unease. It's as if you are being watched.
It will be interesting to see if this character gets more lore in Classic down the line, or if any reference is made to this in retail!
