-:Since we've seen Succubi called Sayaad, and Pit Lords called Anihilan, it's safe to assume that Shivarra are Shivan. --[[User:Ragestorm|Ragestorm]] 18:48, 20 December 2006 (EST)

-Shivarra, are Shivarra. Its a race name. According to the holographic emitters.[[User:Baggins|Baggins]] 12:21, 22 December 2006 (EST)

-I believe the Shivan were renamed Shivarra, presumably to avoid the direct Hinduistic reference. Merge? --[[User:Varghedin|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Varghedin</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Varghedin|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Varghedin|contr]])</small> 16:35, 1 January 2007 (EST)

-::If the term shivan originates from an official source let's wait until release to find out if there is any reference to shivan at all in game, before we do any merging. Otherwise its very unclear, and blizzard has not bothered updating their website to invalidate that information. If the term was originally a fan discription anyways, then just delete it.[[User:Baggins|Baggins]] 16:39, 1 January 2007 (EST)

-:::The term is official, although the spelling is not. It was mentioned as one of the featured races during the very first BC trailer.. "the wrathguard, fel reavers, and shivan." Personally, I think it sounds more like shivon, but that's beside the point. I guess we have to wait and see regardless. --[[User:Varghedin|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Varghedin</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Varghedin|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Varghedin|contr]])</small> 16:47, 1 January 2007 (EST)

-::Ahh, well I supose we could do a merging, if we create a section discussing the term Shivan near the bottom. Only thing is we need to avoid throwing terms such as "retcon" until we know more about the factors surrounding the apparent name change if you know what I mean?[[User:Baggins|Baggins]] 16:51, 1 January 2007 (EST)
-::Agreed. Even so, this is only a retcon ''if'' they're called Shivan in-game, but are changed to Shivarra. Anything changed before the release is technical, not a retcon.--[[User:Ragestorm|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Ragestorm</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Ragestorm|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Ragestorm|contr]])</small> 17:27, 1 January 2007 (EST)
-::::Apparently, there's neither anything named 'Shivan' or 'Shivarra' in-game. All the mobs of this type are called things like "Mistress of Doom", "Lady of Pain", etc. Since the emitter in the [[Vault of Lights]] still refers to them as 'Shivarra', I'd say Shivan was changed to Shivarra for out-of-game reasons. I'm adding a merge template to Shivarra. --{{User:Varghedin/Sig}} 08:26, 27 January 2007 (EST)
-Agreed.--[[User:Ragestorm|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Ragestorm</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Ragestorm|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Ragestorm|contr]])</small> 10:22, 27 January 2007 (EST)
-:Agreed. Darn, had just changed the text.--[[User:Kirochi|<span style="border-bottom:2px; cursor:help" title="Kirochi is a WoWWiki Bookkeeper and AMA member"><font color="green">'''K'''</font> <font color="red">''')'''</font></span>]] <small>([[User talk:Kirochi|talk]])</small> 13:32, 27 January 2007 (EST)
-:::::'''Shivan''' is the original name given to this mob; in the in-game files, you can see "Shivan.m2" as the base model, nothing else. {{User:Shandris/Sig}}
-If the name floating above them says Shivan, it's fine. In-game files don't mean squat to lore. However the Shivarra hologram is damning evidence. --[[User:Ragestorm|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Ragestorm</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Ragestorm|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Ragestorm|contr]])</small> 21:04, 29 January 2007 (EST)
-:The game files also call the [[Wretched]] Crack Elves! How's that for non-official?? --{{User:Varghedin/Sig}} 02:17, 30 January 2007 (EST)
-Since when do trailers count as lore sources? That's been the only mention of the term "shivan."
-:SIgn your posts, please. Trailers are lore sources when they are the only sources avaliable. It appears that Shivan is now Shivarra.--[[User:Ragestorm|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Ragestorm</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Ragestorm|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Ragestorm|contr]])</small> 21:15, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
-Well it looks like Shivan is an official a term in the game, [[Shivan Assassin]] up near forge camp wrath. Still no idea what hte difference between Shivan and Shivarra is...
-I suppose it could open the question of if Shivarra is "draenei" term and Shivan, the "common" term...[[User:Baggins|Baggins]] 23:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
-:Or Shivarra the noun and Shivan the adjective. --[[User:Ragestorm|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Ragestorm</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Ragestorm|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Ragestorm|contr]])</small> 02:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
-A little more about the assassin, apparently the shivan is something summoned, and controlled to help defeat a series of demons, ending with a man'ari eredar. Anyone know the quest and story behind it? Maybe it will give greater understanding into the use of the term.[[User:Baggins|Baggins]] 02:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
-==Dalliah the Doomsayer==
-Isn't [[Dalliah the Doomsayer]] a Shivarra? Should she be included in something like a "Famous Shivarra" section.
-Also, there are Fear Whisperers and Wrath Speakers that are also Shivarra at places like Forge Camp: Terror
-== Offtopic comment ==
-These demons make me glad i'm a rogue..... ;) {{User:CrazyJack/Sig}} 10:51, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
-:And me glad I'm a cat druid. :-D Especially welcome after killing five thousand or so ogres...--[[User:Azaram|Azaram]] 07:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
-== The Shivan and Zul'Aman ==
-Not really two things I would draw a line between - except for this.
-http://www.modenstudios.com/MalacrassShivanReleased.wav
-This is one of Hex Lord Malacrass' speech files (as named by Blizzard).  I have no idea what it refers to and have never heard it used in game.
-Any ideas?
-:If he used it it would be da death of us all.--{{User:Sandwichman2448/Sig}} 22:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
-== Racial Leader ==
-Saying Mother Sharaz as the racial leader is incorrect I believe. The base of these demons serve the Burning Legion. Mother Sharaz is a member of the Illdari, basicly she serve Illidan and is therefore opposed to the Burning Legion. I don't think she can be the racial leader when shes not on the burning legions side. --[[User:Karye|Karye]] 06:05, March 09, 2008 (PST)
-:I agree. We should delete this part. [[User:TheSatyr|TheSatyr]] ([[User talk:TheSatyr|talk]]) 16:05, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
-::She is the most powerful and has a unique model, but the leader would be Illidan or Kil'jaeden. If they were more united, then she could be speculated to lead all of them.--{{User:Sandwichman2448/Sig}} 21:08, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
-== Hindu God correction thing ==
-Hindus do not believe in multiple gods, they are monotheistic.
-The belief of Devas is much like the Father, Son and Holy Spirit of Christianity, multiple faces of the same God.
-Someone might want to correct that, just wanted to point it out. [[User:Xavs42|Xavs42]] ([[User talk:Xavs42|talk]]) 00:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
-:"The shivarra are inspired, in both form and name, by a number of Hindu deities, the Devas" The sentence itself is vague, whether or not they're faces of God or gods in their own right doesn't matter to the article. Anyway, as I understand it, the Devas are worshipped in and of themselves, as gods, because the universal spirit of which they are extensions cannot be directly worshipped, more of a concept than a god. I could be wrong, but given that there are hundreds if not thousands of Hindu sects, I think it's safe to say that the situation is more more complicated than we need to go into for explaining an artistic choice. --[[User:Ragestorm|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Ragestorm</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Ragestorm|talk]] &middot; [[Special:Contributions/Ragestorm|contr]])</small> 00:28, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
-== Shivan again ==
-Per the new [[Vigilant Shivan]] and the Shivan in the Grimoire of Supremacy, has this race's name been changed back?--{{User:Sandwichman2448/Sig}} 00:47, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
-:It's possible the name is interchangable, or that Shivarra is maybe the name used for the females of their species, and Shivan is the name of their entire species (Including the males), and as a result it was an oversight by the game's programmers when they were putting in the data for the Exodar's little demon database thing. Similarly to how Succubi and Incubi (if they exist of course, which they likely do.) are both of the same race, the [[Sayaad]].--[[User:Whitedragon254|Whitedragon254]] ([[User talk:Whitedragon254|talk]]) 01:24, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
-::I think we should wait it out--[[User:Ashbear160|Ashbear160]] ([[User talk:Ashbear160|talk]]) 01:30, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
-:::Plus [http://www.wowhead.com/search?q=Shivan#npcs Shivan npcs] actually comes up with some whereas Shivarra doesn't.... I say we wait to see if it's still that way during MoP beta. {{User:Coobra/Sig4}} 01:31, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
