This page contains a collection of often wondered questions concerning the Warcraft setting. This page is only intended to gather questions commonly asked by the Warcraft community to the creative developers, had they the chance. Responses to these questions will likely not occur here.
Guidelines
- Adding questions
- There is no stupid question.
- When you add a question, first make sure it has not already been placed on this page. If you have verified it is not here, the next step would be to find it's appropriate category (ie a character, location, race, etc) and add it using the standard format. See question format below.
- As this is a collection of commonly asked questions by the Warcraft community, it is ok to add questions you've seen on the official World of Warcraft forums along with any other fan sites. However, do not transfer any ratings or votes currently held by them.
- Avoid posting questions in which the developers would have no control over, such as how players treat each other and things that exist for pure game mechanics (ie Worgen Death Knights).
- And remember, ask only one question per question as requested by the development team.
- Removing questions
- Questions should never be removed without a reason.
- If you believe a question has been answered and should be removed, add {{question remove|<reason>|<date>}} next to the subject name with your reason and the date you marked it. Allow for 10 days before removal.
- Should you see a question that can easily be answered by in-game lore or external sources (RPG books, WorldofWarcraft.com), go ahead and move the question to the talk page, give the answer, and provide the source you obtained the information from. You should also note in the edit summary that you're moving the question to the talk page, so as to not have the asker (or other users) think you simply removed it.
- Should you see a question that you believe breaks the guidelines of this page or Wowpedia in general, go ahead and remove it, but remember to note exactly why you are removing it in the edit summary.
- Answered questions
- What if a developer answers one of these questions?
- If a question on this page is answered, please do not immediately remove said question. Instead add the answer provided under the question along with a link to the source, if available. If the question/answer has been posted on Ask CDev, then it is ok to remove the question.
- The DOs and DON'Ts
- Do add questions you've always wondered about.
- Don't add duplicate or similar questions already on the page.
- Do mark questions you like or always wanted to know about.
- Don't remove ratings of a question you dislike or don't care about.
- Do revise questions to fix grammar, spelling errors, or to make the question more clear.
- Don't replace or change the question completely from what it was asking.
- Do ask questions about the lore.

|
| D'Sak | |
Where is Twilight Lord D'Sak and will he appear sometime in during Cataclysm? He was the author of all the texts hold by the Twilight Hammer at Silithus, and seemed a pretty important member of the cult. |
| Galakrond | |

| Lor'themar Theron | |
Various sources have been inconsistent with regards to the eye Lor'themar lost fighting the Scourge. Is it still missing, or has this been retconned? |
| Modgud | |
Why did the death of Modgud, a simple sorceress, cause so much disaster? It spread an evil taint throughout Grim Batol making it uninhabitable to the Wildhammer dwarves for years, turned the Dark Irons there into reptile abominations known as the Skardyn, and somehow troggs from Grim Batol use a curse with her name. |
| Morbent Fell | During the Civil War in the Plaguelands at W3:TFT, we defeated a lich under the command of Balnazzar, named Morbent Fell. In World of Warcraft we meet a necromancer in Duskwood named Morbent Fel. Are they the same person? If so, does he still serve the Burning Legion? | |

| Schnottz | |
Who is Commander Schnottz? The quests in Uldum are surprisingly vague. |
| Tharbek | |
What happened with Tharbek? You told us Varok Saurfang was the second in command of Orgrim Doomhammer, but the novel Tides of Darkness gives Tharbek that position. Could you clarify this? |
| Therazane | |
In the Elemental Bonds questline, Therazane mentions that she remembers love, who did she fell in love with, and was him the the father of her children, Theradras, Ozruk and the Stone Lords? |
| Thrall | Why was Thrall seen riding a Black wolf in WC III? (Thralls wolf companion Snowsong is known for having snow white fur and this was the usual colour for the farseer mount in WC III). | |
| Thrall | Should we assume Thrall was a bit younger than his original stated age in the Warcraft III manual at the time of those events? The timeline doesn't quite match up otherwise. | |
| Thrall | |
In the elemental bonds quest-line why do the elementals call Thrall the Orc-father? |
| Zalashji | |
What was Zalashji's original purpose and what happened to him? |

 Nath |
|
Is Nath a real god? |
| Nath |
Is Nath related to the Gronn? | |
| Sargeras |
|
If the entity Aegwynn fought in Northrend was the Avatar of Sargeras, does that mean that Sargeras's real body is still out there somewhere in the nether, separated from his spirit or is that avatar she buried on Azeroth his real body, just reduced in power? |

| Forsaken Free Will | |
Why do some Alliance soldiers raised by the Forsaken immediately become loyal to the Forsaken while others do not, if they all have free will? |
| Furbolg | The Furbolg tribes of Blackwood, Thistlefur and Stillpine are helped by Alliance members, the Foulweald are almost destroyed by the Horde, and the Timbermaw are neutral. Will the support by the Alliance and hostility by the Horde make the Furbolg race more Alliance leaning? Will we see any furbolg plot development in the future? | |
| Frost nymph | |
Who's the queen of the frost nymphs that Lurielle mentions? |
| Frost nymph | |
We know that the frost nymphs are dryads (or related to them), however in the Warcraft magazine issue 5 there is no mention of nymphs and only of frost and forest subtypes of dryads. The question is, are frost nymphs just frost dryads? If so, is nymph just a secondary name for dryad, like when the gilgoblins are called gilblins? |
| Gnomes, Sand | |
What are sand gnomes? They appear in the Bone Wastes for no reason and an archeologist was looking for them in Silithus. Why does nothing about them make sense? |
| Grell-like | |
There is a huge variety of Grell-like creatures, trickster creatures with small stature often associated with different types of magic, what are they an if they are related or just a group of creatures that can be explained by convergent evolution? These are all noticed creatures that are grell-like and their associated magic: The fey Grell associated with nature magic, the demonic Imps associated with fel magic, Sprites associated with various types of natural and dark magics, the demonic Flamekin associated with fire magic, the elemental Firekin associated with the Firelands, and finally the magically-created Homunculus which are frowned by the Kirin Tor? |
| Stone Giant | |
The titans made 5 giant races, however throughout Azeroth we find many more types of giants that are very similar to some that the titans created, the question is, are all of the following giant races variations of the Stone giant race? Hill, Frost, Mountain, Molten and Colossi? |

| Orc, Dire | |
What are the Dire orcs? |
| Orc peons | |
Are Orc Peons slaves to the horde? |
| Orc skin | Why do orcs like the Blackrock and Dragonmaw have unique skin colors? Is it due to ethnicity, exposure to ash, exposure to black dragons, or something else? | |
| Sporeloks and Sporelings | |
Sporeloks and Sporelings seem to have a different color and habitat, are they different races/sub-races? |
| Trolls | |
Will Vol'jin or Garrosh recruit more troll tribes to the horde? Besides the Revantusk and the Shatterspear? |
| Ulduar Watchers | |
After speaking to Ghostcrawler at the Cataclysm midnight launch in London, it was said that Tyr was intended to be the titan who fell against C'thun. If so, does this mean all of the watchers are titans, or is Tyr a unique case? |
| Uldum Watchers/Anubisath | |
Are the Anubisath and the Horusath anyway related to titanic watchers in Uldum? For example Setesh is very similar to Anubisath and Rajh to Horusath. |
| Uldum Watchers | |
What are the stories of the four titan guardians in Uldum? Particularly the fact that their seats are associated with 4 different schools of magic. |
| Vrykul, Frost | |
What is the nature of the blue skin on various Vrykul? Does it vary between the Ymirjar, the Hyldnir, and others? |
| Vrykul material | Prior to the Curse of Flesh, of what material were the vrykul composed or made? For example, were their bodies previously made of earth, stone, or metal? Or were they already flesh? | |
| Vrykul purpose | What was the role of the vrykul? We know that the earthen were charged with shaping the earth and mechagnomes maintained the great machines of the titans. But what purpose or function did the vrykul serve for the titans? | |
| Worgen offspring | |
Do the new Worgen pass the curse down to their children (with or without control over it) or are the Worgen essentially doomed to die off after one generation? |
| Azotha |
Are the Azotha a tribe of a humans, or are they a separate species, another evolutionary step, as in Vykrul-Azotha-Human, or is it more Stormgarde-Stormwind-Azotha-Gilnean...? | |
| Harpy |
|
Are the rumors that Harpies rape other races males true for breeding true? |
| Naga Anomaly |
|
Are High Warlord Naj'entus and others with the same model the naga anomalies described in Dark Factions, or are they something else? |
| Tothrezim |
|
Do the Tothrezim still exist, or have they been retconned and replaced with the Gan'arg and Mo'arg? |
Creatures

What exactly is a Mannu, Kommu, Kambu and Alchu bugs that are mentioned in The Judgment? |
| Ancients of Wind/Wonder | |
What happened to the Ancients of Wind and the Ancients of Wonder? |
| Annihilan and Mo'arg | |
In the quest "Cleansing the Waters" it's mentioned that Aggonar is the father of Aggonis, however the first is a Annihilan while the second is a Fel Guard Mo'arg. Does this mean that the Mo'arg race is the same as the Annihilan race or is Aggonis just a adopted son? |
| Arachnathid | |
What happened to the Arachnathid? We never met them in Northrend. Are they extinct? |
| Arachnathid | |
Are the Arachnathid anyway related to the Aqir or their descendants? |
| Banshee | What exactly is a Banshee, and are non-elven races able to become one? | |
| Dragons Family | |
Can you explain some of the various "family" habits of dragons, are they incestuous as some speculate? Do only the Aspects get mates? Is Alexstraza actually also Korialstrasz's mother? |
| Elementals creation | In the Hyjal quest "Elementary!" you state[citation needed] that the old gods created the elementals. This is in turn supported by the Highlord Demitrians quote "It was they, the Old Gods who created all." Yet in other lore, it is said the old gods enslaved the elementals rather then create them. Which of these accounts is true? If its the former, did the Old Gods create all elementals or just those on Azeroth? | |
| Elementals, Conglomerate | |
Are Conglomerate Elementals still canon? I mean most of the information we had came from the RPG, but in WoW there are some of the dual conglomerate elementals, and some complete elemental suspects, with absence of any Triumvirate Conglomerate. |
| Elementals, Complete/Primal | |
Animus is made of four elementals + elementium, and the prismatic exiles summoned by Myzrael can shift between elements rather easily, are both of these Complete/Primal Conglomerate Elementals? |
| Elementals, Draenor | |
If Cyrukh is a firelord like Ragnaros, does Draenor also have it's own versions of Neptulon, Al'akir and Therazane? |
| Elementals, Skywall | |
What are the Turbulent Squalls and the Empyrean Assasins doing in Skywall? The first looks like a water elemental and the second looks like a steam elemental/arcane wraiths, neither which can be directly associated with Air elementals. |
| Fel Reavers | Are fel reavers demon-possessed constructs or are they a fel-powered constructs? | |
| Fire spider | |
Are Fire Spiders of the Cinderweb brood anyway related to the Nerubian or Aqir? They look very similar. |
| Forgotten One | |
During W3:TFT undead campaign, we confronted a "Forgotten One", deep in Azjol-Nerub. It has not been mentioned again, and the novelization of the events utterly ignored it. What happened with it? Was it a tendril of Yogg-Saron, like a manifestation of his power? Was it changed into the faceless one Herald Volazj and his three "Forgotten One" minions? |
| Forgotten One, Presumed | |
Are Iso'rath, Shu'ma, and Go'rath forgotten ones? They seem very similar to the Forgotten One that fought Arthas in Azjol-Nerub. If not, what are they? |
| Golem, Fire | |
Will we ever see Fire golems, that the Dragon Soul spawned, from the "Day of the Dragon"? |
| Golem, Dragon | |
Will we ever see Dragon golems like the one alexstraza used in the "The Sundering". |
| Gronn Size | How large can a Gronn grow? Was Draenor a sleeping Gronn? | |
| Gronn Amount | |
How numerous are the Gronn? |
| Gryphon/Hippogryph/Wyvern, Intelligence | |
Exactly how smart are wyvern, gryphons and hippogryphs? They been always been described as intelligent, but never had society or any language, they are obviously sentient but no proof of being sapient. |
| Gryphon/Wyvern, Dragonkin ancestry | |
A line in the Warcraft III manual says that wyverns "share a common ancestry with both dragons and gryphons" How? They look nothing like them except for having 6 limbs. |
| Leviathan and Kraken | |
You seem to use the term "kraken" to label two different types of aquatic creatures, a fish/reptile one and a squid/octopus one. What is their relationship, and is the model name "leviathan" a legitimate name for the squid one? |
| Mana serpent | Mana serpents, are they Dragonkin (they were labelled as something of pseudo-dragonkin in the Wow Magazine) or elemental (they seem to share more characteristics with this type)? | |
| Of Souls | |
What are the Reliquary of Souls and the Devourer Of Souls? |
| Owl scouts | |
Are Ban'thalos and Dori'thur Owl scouts? They look very similar to them and have moon related powers. |
| Rockflayers | |
Why are the rockflayers, an Outland species, in Deepholm, an elemental plane of Azeroth? |
| Terrorguards | |
Are Fiends/Terrorguards (face on chest demon with jewel on forehead) related with Ered'ruin race? They look very similar (except for the fact they have a face on their chest) to the Doomguards, Doomlords and Daemons from Warcraft 1 that are part of the Ered'ruin race. |
| Tree of Life | |
What happened to the Trees of Life/Age/Eternity? They don't appear in WoW, is it because their connection to Nordrassil was severed by the wisp bomb at the End of WC3, and if so, now that Nordrassil is somewhat restored will they return? |
| Val'kyr | |
Why is the gift of the Val'kyr limited to vrykul women? |
| Voidwalker | |
There is some confusion regarding the voidwalkers, and specifically the void faction led by Dimensious. We have shadow elementals, Yet in the same way we have identical creatures as demons. Are all of these void creatures all the same? If so are they elemental/demon or both? and also is their relation to either the old gods, the burning legion and Dimensious simply one of enforced control? And finally what is the relation between them and the "dead" naaru? |
| World Tree saplings | |
The Great trees are said to be saplings of the world tree Nordrassil, but so are the Trees of life and they have different functions, the former acting as a portal to the emerald dream and the latter acting as the source of night elves immortality, the question is, why are they different? |

What is the nature of the relationship between druids (and night elven culture in general) with the arcane, as suggested by Balance spells like starfall, moonfire, etc. as well as moon wells? |

Some of the druid forms have ancients associated with them (Ursol/Ursoc=bear;Aviana=birds;Malorne=stag;Goldrinn=wolf/pack), but others do not. If so, could you tell us the ancients that provide to the druids the following forms: Snake, sea lion, cat, travel, moonkin and tree of life. |

Organizations

|---|---|---|
| Ancient Kings | |
Who are the Ancient Kings? Their name appears in two chest items, the paladin familiar and Val'anyr. |
| Bloodsail Buccaneer Legend | The three human protagonists of Legends' story Bloodsail Buccaneer were pretty good and had a lot of potential in different professions. Will they make an appearance in-game? | |
| Conclave of Winds | |
The members of the conclave of the wind seem to be the "second-in-command" of Skywall, acting much like the Stone lords is to the Deepholm, and the Majordomo is to the Firelands, and seem to be composed entirely of Djinns associated with Cardinal winds, the question is: what exactly is their role in the Skywall? |
| Council of Six | |
What are the current members of the council of the six? we only know of Aethas, Rhonin and Modera. |
| Dark Riders | |
What are the Dark Riders? Could they be a special generation of Second War death knights created by the Burning Legion agents? What's their link to Morbent Fel and the Burning Legion forces at Karazhan and Blasted Lands? |
| Dragonmaw Clan | |
Why were the Dragonmaw called Dragonmaw back in Draenor, there weren't any dragons there? The first time they ever saw a dragon was on Azeroth. Durotan did not even know what the figure on top of the Dark Portal was. |
| Elemental Lords | Are the elemental lords of Azeroth equal, below, or above the ones that existed on Draenor? | |
| Forsaken and the Horde | The Forsaken initially joined the Horde as an 'alliance of convenience.' Given the most recent events, how do the Forsaken currently view the rest of the Horde? | |
| Kelani Magi | |
Who were the Kelani Magi and why did they fall? They're mentioned in WC3 on the yellow text from that one Enchanted Gemstone. |
| Orc Clans | - question needs cleanup | What's the relationship between the Bloodfyres and Ner'zhul, the chieftain of their clan? Were the members of this family the seconds in command and the strong arm of Ner'zhul? They appear at Legends vol. 2, in Family Values. Also, will Leena, the draenei girl in that same story that becomes a shaman, appear in-game as part of the Earthen Ring? |
| Reliquary | |
Who and why exactly stands behind this newly resurfaced organization? High Examiner Tae'thelan Bloodwatcher is surley it's commander, but he didn't seem to have much of the political power earlier so it's doubtful that he was the one who ordered it's reformation. Will they play any more prominent role further into the expansion? Perhaps a conflict between them and the Explorer's League? |
| Scarlet Champions | What happened to all the Scarlet Champions in the Hall of Champions of the Scarlet Monastery? Are they all dead (or otherwise out of the picture)? | |
| Silver Hand | |
Is there an active faction or chapter of the Knights of the Silver Hand still loyal to the Alliance or was the entire order absorbed into the Argent Crusade? If so, what order do Human and Dwarf paladins members of? |
| Stone lords | |
The stone lords seem to be the "second-in-command" of Deepholm, acting much like the Conclave of Wind is to the Skywall, and the Majordomo is to the Firelands, and seem to be composed entirely of Therazane children, the question is: what exactly is their role in the Deepholms? |
| Stone lords | |
The stone lords seems to be entirely composed of Therazane children's, are the Stone lords the same as Earth Princes? Much like Thundeeran and Sarsarun are called Air Princes and Theradras is called a earth princess. Are all of her children part of it? Beings like Theradras and Ozruk are never mentioned to be stone lords, but she calls them her children. |

| Aqir city | Is there any possibility for the original city of the aqir (the one they had before being defeated and splitting into Azjol-Nerub and Ahn'Qiraj) to appear around in-game some day? | |
| Azeroth | |

| Kalimdor | - question needs cleanup | What were the mechanics of the Sundering? Land can not just sink, and if magic did it, what did the magic do? I would like to know what happened exactly after the Sundering. Before it, we had an unique continent, and after it, many different pieces of landmass. What happened exactly? The landmass between the current continents sank, or only the are surrounding the Well of Eternity sank, meaning that the current continents are a result of plate tectonics movement? (think of Pangea and how it evolved into the current world, but at higher speed) The second option is the one that makes more sense, imo. Pushing the central landmass down makes the surrounding landmass move away, while the water level rises from the sinking of the central part. It's basic geology, but I don't know if it would work in a world of magic. |

Given how they are often used to make the clan's huts and structures (such as the Twilight Citadel), is the Twilight's Hammer somehow able to control them? Why do the vines act like they do (twisting around objects such as trees and elemental forces such as Magmatooth in the Twilight Highlands, glimmering as if magic is running through them)?

They are never called loas even trough the character that point these gods out have no problem with calling the other animal gods loas, and Zim'torga has some similarities with Elune, being female, having a passive/peace theme going and both being directed towards prosperity. |

The old gods seems to favor some type of hydra deities/demigods as pets (Aku'mai and Gahz'rilla), with other hydras like them (Gahz'ranka and Hetaera). Is this affirmation correct, and if so why do the old gods do favour them as pets? |

The bearers of the title "Majordomo" seem to be the "second-in-command" of Firelands, acting much like the Stone lords is to the Deepholm, and the Conclave of Wind is to the Skywall, whose title has been held by Executus and Staghelm, the question is: what exactly is the role of the Majordomo in the Firelands? |
