But in the aftermath of a terrible battle, the island has lain dormant and abandoned for ages until the return of an ancient ...Or they could be gladiators who gained warrior-like tendencies on Draenor in order to survive the harsh war with the horde. A good example are the draenei peacekeepers you see posted around both Shattrath and The Exodar. Draenei warlocks are a very hidden few, but are known as the Sargerei, named for Sargeras.Proto-drakes fit under the umbrella term, but they are not going to be called dragons by any of the descendants of the Aspects outside of casual use (like during a battle). Proto-dragons would be called dragons informally too, assuming proto-dragons aren't a literal different species. Proto-drake is a racist slur.The Burning Legion, in a desperate attempt to save the fate of Azeroth, the Death Knights of both factions ask Bolvar Fordragon to command his undead army to aid in the resistance against The Burning Legion.

I still find worth in much of the lore, yes. Speaking as someone who played WC3 in youth and was much too young and poor to join the WoW train back when it was popular, I had always found the world of Warcraft to be a fascinating tale of people and their struggles.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.I assume these long-lived races take a very long time to grow up. I thought I read somewhere that a night elf took over 300 years to reach maturity whereas in the humans it takes only 16 to 18 years. Alliance : Human - Human-long. Dwarf - Dwarf-long. Several Hundreds of years. Over 200+ years. Night Elf - Elf-long.In any case, don't take r/Warcraftlore or r/wow's word for it. If you get into the lore my only advice is to prepare to be disappointed. Finally: do not take someones word for what is canon in the lore and what isn't. People are absolutely incompetent at providing sources or properly interpreting material. Again, find out for yourself.One thing i like about the recent announcement: Old Gods. They are dead. And i inadvertently like it a lot more than i would have imagined. Stopping to recycle them in every occasion, they are instead "used" in the sense that their own blood is used to empower the nerubians with a new leader trying to fill up the void ( heh) in the power struggle.Every month on Wowhead, Nobbel87 creates a special video on popular WoW.

Remember, 90% of the population of Quel'thalas was wiped out during the Scouring, and that's just the elves in the horde.

"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. Help me understand: Dwarven Shamanism. I main a Dwarf Shaman, and I really love the concept of them. I went so far as to earn exalted rep with Operation Shieldwall because I know that part of being a dwarf shaman is the Wildhammer kinship with their Gryphons. The problem is, I've only heard of this through word of mouth. Fel us raw forceful drawing of magical energies that draws it from a person or others' life.

Warlocks regardless of motivation are going to be distrusted and disliked by many others in the lore, made pariahs.The destruction warlock is well-versed in discharging a dizzying array of shadow, fel, fire, and chaos magics upon opponents that rattle souls and conflagrate bodies.
