Mag'har Orcs come from a lineage of great warriors and conquerors, from Draenor to Azeroth living a lifetime of war. In Cho's quest share the same lineage as regular Orcs which is expected. Highmountain Tauren come from a lineage of nomadic tribal braves, hunters, and shamans revering the land and sky. In Cho's quest they share the same ...It seems like Quel'thalas is at risk now that they are the only major presence in the Eastern continent. The undead could have bolstered the blood elves' defenses while also keeping their alliance in check. Now that Quel'thalas has lost some of it's people to the alliance, they are weaker and at greater risk. Reply.no they never said he was stuck there. "Forever" was never stated and in fact its specified to be temporary. He could have a lot of character development off screen in the Shadowlands with the time distortion though. I think the idea was to have Ysera be a green dragon guarding the Dream from the Ardenweald side.After Deathwing'a corruption, the flight had void forces effecting them until recently. As for Dracthyr, they seems to have inherited all of the previous flights' magic which includes the cosmic forces influencing them with the exception of void so far. That is to say, they predominately align with order, with influences of life and ...Oh, that was an easy answer, thanks. No worries, there are some cases of non-Forsaken using the Light like the Undead Priests and Paladins in Stratholme who are apart of a faction called "the Risen" but they're like Undead who think they're alive under the control of the Dreadlord Balthazar.Galakrond absorbing their powers to become a raid boss, for example. Given what was seen in Shadowlands with the Eternal Ones, the Dragon Aspects getting their power back will be needed for future conflict with the Six Forces. Blizzard will most likely create Dragon Aspect level threats for them to deal with while we battle other threats of the ...Hoping for glyphs or something like that in the future, to make it at least look like what it’s supposed to be. Night Elves are Priests of Elune. Much like Blood Elf Paladins are Blood Knights or Tauren Paladins are Sunwalkers or Zandalari Paladins are Prelates. It's how they bend the roles to fit the classes.Arbiter damned him because of the Maw's and Jailer's taint upon his soul. After all the soul of Ner'zhul was bound to the Helm of Domination and Frostmourne, which were Tools of Domination full of Maw's power.

Merely a Setback is another good podcast that talks a lot about various aspects of the lore. Look for Accolonn on YouTube.

If the winners do what the losers of a war wanted, they died in vain. And its important to remember a war fought in the realms of death have much higher stakes. Your soul permanently ceases to exist.Graveyards in Shadowlands. I was going through a livestream when it occurred to me. Mortals are not supposed to be in the Shadowlands, neither are graveyards, once the dead are expired from existence (?). But, looking at the matter lorewise, are they somewhat expected to have mortals received then? I'm sorry if this is an irrelevant or ...The Old Gods were all killed, but obviously dead is not as definitive for Old Gods as most creatures. Each Old God left behind echoes, parts of itself, when it died. The most obvious of these was Y'Shaarj's Sha, which infected the whole land of Pandaria with his dark power. This was largely destroyed during the events of Mists of Pandaria, but ...Discussion.

This article is a copy of "Warcraft Lore," an official article by Blizzard Entertainment in the Story section of their website. This presents information about several characters of the Warcraft universe.Eredar is the race. The demonic Eredar still call themselves Eredar because they believe they are the true Eredar, and considering 2/3 of their leaders believe the same and the last leader is in exile with a group called the exiles, this would seem to be correct. The Draenei, or exiles, refer to the their corrupted Eredar brethren as Man'ari ...As someone who plays a Gnome Death Knight, I can confirm that it is completely impossible to take any of it seriously. The most likely Death Knights are gonna be Humans, Blood Elves, or Dwarves since they were the most plentiful races that were around and working with the Argents.I do believe, however, that it is Canon that the orcs "won" the first war (see Warcraft: the movie). The humans were unprepared for the orcish invasion, and their losses actually spawned what is now "The Alliance." In lore the orcs were larger, stronger, and because of the blood corruption they were far more bloodthirsty than the humans./r/DMAcademy is a subreddit for Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Masters to ask questions - new and experienced, all are welcome!

And seeing as how long a dwarf lives you could roleplay one as a member of the original Knights of the Silver Hand. While to exclusive you have to think that both organizations would take a lot of your time.Essentially, there were fairly strict gender divides in night elf society up until WC3. However, post Warcraft 3 (wow classic), this started to change and it became much more accepted for women to become druids and men to become warriors and priests. They explain it in more gameplay terms in a class panel from 2005.By the time cataclysm happens,it has been years since Kael’s downfall and the blood elves, having the sunwell back and the scourge all but gone, no longer need to have every available sword defending silvermoon. This opens up the opportunity for warrior elves to pursue questing, or perhaps fight the Horde’s enemies on new battle fronts.Fel can be extremely powerful, and is easy to use in comparison. However, it carries the risk of tearing you apart or corrupting you. Some might become Warlocks out of desperation, but many others become Warlocks in a pursuit of power. Some do become Warlocks as its simply the next step in exploring the bounds of magic.34. shabadabadabada • 1 yr. ago. I mean, they pretended it was meaningful like Cenarius dying in WC3.

Tauren Sunwalkers aren't Paladins, they just use the mechanics to represent their unique class. The same could easily be done for mages. It could just be a variation of Tauren Shaman that focuses heavily on Ice or Fire. 9.No, not unless they want to do something in a future story and need to retcon something involving the Shadowlands in some way. WoW has always operated on a retcon basis. Vanilla had tons of retcons from Warcraft 3, TBC had a mega-fuckton of retcons from both Vanilla and Warcraft 3 and the list goes on.

The Caverns of time for the Bronze and Infinite. 67.Scorpions are all over Draenor. I believe the Horde symbol is a stylize scorpion claw. Dunno which came first but it’s certainly related to the symbol of the shadow council which is a similar rune. its a thingy with some spikey doodads and stuff. its round, kinda. it means "rarrrrrhhggg" in old orcish.Orcs are almost always Arms and Fury warriors with a leaning towards Arms.

Space travel, dragons, time travel, magic, guns, archery, origin stories that explain the same thing differently depending on the culture, necromancy, holy warriors, romance, friendships.For the longest time, my personal theory on Elune was that she is a true God in the warcraft universe. Not a Titan, void lord, first one, or whatever other demigods exist in the warcraft universe, but a true capital G God. (or in Elunes case capital G Goddess). Because she is a true God, Elune exists outside of the typical power structure in ...In WOW, we can see evil from the void, and worshippers of the void. Causing death, fear, and pain to bring forth MORE death in the service of the void, is downright evil. "We're all doomed, let's speed it up" is harmful, not helpful. In the case of warlocks, they desire power. For some, they were mages in the kirin tor who stumbled upon tomes ...Vyranoth is empowered by Azeroth. It's not clear if she's actually an aspect of anything, though, versus just juiced up on Azerite. Same probably goes for Merithra and Ebonhorn.
