Illidan is not a member of the alliance. He doesn't care about anything but stopping the legion. Yes. Warcraft lore is great, but tbh the MMORPG is… shit. So I recommend you buy WC3 and play through that, it’s a RTS. If you’re looking for a book, try “Rise of the Horde” to start off with.The Forsaken move into the Ruins of Lordaeron.. Lady Sylvanas Windrunner rallied half of the standing undead forces in Lordaeron and staged a coup for control over the undead empire. With their leader's sharp cunning and the assistance of their banshees, the undead forcibly coerced a number of lingering forces in Lordaeron to fighting their battles with …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.Medivh ("keeper of secrets" in Thalassian) was the last Guardian of Tirisfal, an ancient line of protectors bestowed with great powers to do battle with the agents of the Burning Legion.He was possessed even before birth by the spirit of the lord of the Burning Legion, Sargeras.Under his influence, Medivh contacted the orc warlock Gul'dan, and together …Oh Murlocs are great. But the post isn't about which race is the most popular or anything. In terms of the "least impressive race," Murlocs are literally thrown in to missions as joke enemies a lot of the time. I'm playing devil's advocate hard here but murlocs be quite dangerous at times. There's mainly 3 species of vampires: Nathrezim - also called dreadlords and the Unseen Guests. They are pretty big figures in the lore since Warcraft III, especially since they are part of the Burning Legion and allied to the Jailer. They feed on the blood of mortals (sometimes putrid flesh too), as well as the anima (the essence) of souls and ...View community ranking In the Top 1% of largest communities on Reddit Zovaal isn't a mastermind behind everything that happened since Sargeras began the Burning Crusade, he's a lucky idiot I don't agree with this idea that the Jailer is a mastermind and that everything is part of his nefarious plans.New Warlock Races lore speculation. In patch 10.1.5 there will be 9 more races that can become Warlocks in line with Blizz intent to make more race-class combos available. The reason why Warlocks were picked were probably because they are the easiest to implement without any art assets necessary, through I'm glad they are adding a new Imp skin. Probably not. I would assume that his wounds would be similar to what happened to VolJin, but on a grander scale. As we know, VolJin is a very healthy spirit. Considering that very, very rarely you could hear Tirion speaking while wielding the Ashbringer, I assume his soul is still out there.I wanted to share something I’ve been putting some thought in recently, which is an attempt to map professions to classes in the most flavor appropriate way. While the choice of profession is one way that WoW lets you customize your character, with a bunch of alts over 3 colonies I wanted to standardize things for better organization. Some …Galakrond is explicitly a proto-dragon. Generally drakes grow into dragons, so I assume (though it was uncommon in the past) proto-drakes occasionally survived/developed into a proto-dragon. Proto-drake is generally used for the precursor's species name, while proto-dragon is an uncommon development stage.The Orc Heritage Quest sees a lot of familiar faces return.

Take Ner'zuhl for example, who can be seen as both a warlock and necromancer. While ingame Warlocks focus more on fel and demons ingame, necromancy could easily be a warlock specialization.Hey guys, Another hyped classic fan who barely played wow. Got a couple months of experience in WOD and did not like afking in garrison. I really disliked not understanding any reason or story for my fight, so this time I would like to learn about the warcraft universe, races, classes and key figures.Sure, at the beginning WoD was pushing Grommash as the BBEG, and Gul'dan was more "in the shadow" for the first part of the expansion, but from the moment he defeated Grommash and took the Iron Horde, he surely had "main villain" vibes.

World of Warcraft is a massive MMO that has grown and changed considerably over its 14 years. This guide will help new and returning players get back into one of the most vivid virtual fantasy worldsI liked to imagine some Orc Mages were penitent Warlocks, but younger ones were likely just interested in magic and had plenty of opportunities to study Arcane in the modern Horde. A Tauren Mage might be a lore keeper of sorts, already studious and interested in other cultures before delving into the Arcane. 34.Rogue (Boralus underbelly, Freehold denizen), Warrior, Hunter (Drustvar Order of Embers, Stormsong farmer), or Resto Shaman / Shadow priest (Tidesage). Personally, I lean most towards Rogue being the archetype. Mechagnome. Hunter is the only class that really involves any kind of mechanization, with traps and gun usage. Technically speaking the Mag'har orcs are the normal orcs, while the orcs you're talking about are the fel corrupted kind. Green isn't their natural skin tone. Only aftereffects remain . Thrall or anyone from Frostwolf never drank demon blood, yet he still has green skin because of the mere influence. 9 mo. ago.Shadowflame was a talent introduced in Wrath as a cone attack that also applied a DoT, was removed in Mists, then reintroduced as a stacking single target DoT in Legion to replace the Hand of Gul'dan stacking DoT gameplay some people liked with the Demonology redesign.

But I believe he said Azeroth isn't a titan anymore but is more like a powerful fountain of power, like the world itself is just drowning in untapped power and that's what makes people wanna invade us 24/7.

Nobody is immune to a powerful enough man with a blade. Yes, when attacking an unaware opponent. When the opposing spellcaster is aware of the warrior and their threat, there is fuckall a warrior can do to counter that. I don't think anyone knows specifically the lore behind Kul Tiran druids. Given how radically different Zandalari and Kul Tiran forms are, it's safe to assume they're giving us a different spin on traditional druidism with both of them. For Kul Tirans, I assume that their druids will have something to do with Drustvar and the Drust. 14.Yes. probably subtle changes in the next expansion and even bigger ones later down the road. 2.
