History Fridge / StarCraftIILegacyOfTheVoid

* While there were many threads resolved in ''Legacy of the Void'', there is yet one last that arises from the implication that humanity [[spoiler:will be become the race to have naturaly purity of form, we have yet to see which race will manage to have natural purity of essence]].

* Remember how Amon's portrait in ''Wings'' is an edited Protoss unit? That could have been his [[spoiler: disguise in ancient times, as he walked on Aiur among the protoss before he and his team chose to reveal themselves to them.]]

*** The corruption happened while the protoss were in the middle of invading, so this makes sense.

* In the ''Brood War'' bonus mission "Dark Origin", Duran tells Zeratul that the hybrids are the culmination of a cycle. The cycle he is actually talking about is the endless Xel'naga cycle, [[{{Foreshadowing}} as revealed in ''Legacy of the Void'']].

* The Xel'Naga is a species that essentially [[spoiler: reproduces]] by creating two lifeforms: one with the purity of essence, capable of adapting to anything (the zerg), and one with purity of form with great psionic prowess (the Protoss) in the hopes that [[spoiler: these two races eventually would seek them out and merge to become Xel'naga themselves]]. That's all well and good, but how was [[spoiler: Kerrigan]] able to ascend on [[spoiler: her]] own? [[spoiler: She's not Protoss, nor was she born Zerg.]] Then, it dawned on me: [[spoiler: she might not have been created Zerg, but is definitely Zerg now, as her DNA was rewritten completely]], satisfying the purity of essence. [[spoiler: And although she is not Protoss, her psionic strength is unmatched in the Koprulu sector after devouring every pack leader on Zerus]], satisfying the purity of form. [[spoiler: She]] already had everything she needed, no [[spoiler: merger]] necessary; all [[spoiler: she]] needed was a 'push', which [[spoiler: Ouros provided]].
** Additionally, the Xel'naga artificially elevated the Protoss to have purity of form. [[spoiler:Specifically, Amon was meddling in ways that weren't the traditional approach.]] The implication is that humans, who are speculated in-universe to be a couple of generations away from being a psionic species, would have ascended to take the mantle if the universe was left to its own devices. [[spoiler:And Kerrigan was/is a powerful human psionic before being infested.]]

* In the very final cutscene of the epilogue, [[spoiler: Kerrigan appears in the bar where Raynor is sitting and mourning Sarah two years on]], asking him if [[spoiler: he's ready to get out of here]].

This would also mean [[spoiler:Sarah will be human until she's killed, and will go back to the void and return to being Xel'naga like Narud]]. [[spoiler: Sarah showing up after two years gives Jim enough time to see the brighter future he's been striving fors come into fruition]], and now that [[spoiler: he]] is no longer needed to wage battles against injustice [[spoiler: and Sarah has had time to regrow quite a few barren planets, the two of them can finally leave their pasts behind (in Raynor's case, he literally leaves his badge behind) to live in peace on an otherwise unsettled planet after all the crap the Koprulu Sector threw their way.]] Took them nine years, but they [[EarnYourHappyEnding Earned Their Happy Ending]]

* It might seem odd that the Protoss once more have access to certain old units like dragoons. It's justified however, due to the ''Spear of Adun'' having its own manufacturing capabilities and the technological know-how of Aiur at its zenith. Which is also reflected in how the Templars put on stasis look more archaic.

* The order of the StarCraft II Campaign is played with Terran/Zerg/Protoss. However, in the Epilogue missions, it's ordered by [[spoiler:Protoss, Terran, and Zerg.
