'''Kralnor''' is the name of an [[orc]] [[warlock]] [[player character]] in the popular [[MMORPG]] "[[World of Warcraft]]." His fame began when he posted a thread called "Warlock staff users" in the Warlock Forums of the [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] website May 16, [[2005]]. The post asked readers to post information about the two-handed staff they preferred to use in the game. This idea was nothing new, however the manner in which Kralnor asked the readers to post was original.

The original post was fraught with grammar and spelling errors. It was also extremely vague and alluded to Kralnor getting in trouble somehow by being reported. It lacked any information about his own staff, yet did contain a comment about proofreading. The original post is as follows:

This simple statement unwittingly opened a Pandora’s Box that delved into a seldom-explored part of the warlock psyche. At first, readers didn’t know how to respond to this post. Several posted their staff and simply moved on. Many flamed Kralnor for his spelling and the post’s lack of meaning or sense.

Kralnor later responded to all the questions with:
 
−  
−
<blockquote>
 
−
''ok, guys, how simple can you be? ITS A !&$%ING TOPIC ABOUT STAFF USERS, if your not a staff user,
 
−
GET YOUR ASS OUT!!!!!!!! Jesus!!!!''

Warlock unrest, coupled with the fact that a warlock’s definition of sanity is fairly blurry, generated over 100 pages of posts on the "Warlock staff users" thread. Once the thread hit 46 pages, many readers were unable to view any following pages due to a bug in the forum. This did not prevent warlocks from posting content or simply "bumping" the thread to the main page of the forum. Warlocks composed songs and poems, speculated on the meaning of the elusive Kralnor figure, made websites and even T-shirts. Kralnor never replied to any of the responses to his original post except once. This mystique only fueled interest in the warlock and elevated Kralnor’s popularity to God-like proportions. When the thread was finally deleted from the forum, it had been responded to well over 1,200 times. Warlocks have adopted the cause of petitioning Blizzard to add an extremely powerful staff that references Kralnor in the title. [[Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian]] was not what the warlocks had in mind.

#The sneak peek [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/arena/index.xml preview] of the arenas. In the picture (right), Kralnor is shown in full [[Tier 4]] [[Voidheart Raiment]] with a staff of indistinct design.<br><br>

#The blood elf race page on Blizzard.com. There are three direct references to Kralnor in the alternate texts of the banner image [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/races/bloodelves.html here]. Hover the cursor over each elf and then the ghoul.<br><br>

#On the [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/items/tinfoilhat.xml 2007 April Fool's Day] jokepage about a new {{loot|Rare|Tinfoil Hat}}, a short poem (from the "Book of Kralnor") can be seen when highlighted on the left side of the webpage, under where the webpage's navigation is halfway down the page. It displays:<blockquote>''To staff of warlock none compare''<br>''Leaves its enemies seeing double''<br>''To defy its power none would dare''<br>''Don't report anything, I might get in trouble''</blockquote>In addition, the class ID of the <nowiki><div></nowiki> code where the above appears is "ronlark", which is Kralnor spelled backward.<br><br>

#Kralnor is featured in his [http://www.wowtcgdb.com/carddetail.aspx?id=768 own card] (TDP #220) in the first [http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wow/en/ World of Warcraft Trading Card Game] expansion, ''Through the Dark Portal''. The card rules read:<blockquote>When Kralnor enters play, you may search your deck for a Staff card and let everyone LOOK IT OVER. If you do, shuffle your deck and put that card on top.</blockquote>The flavor text at the bottom of the card reads: "My staff is a good one."<br><br>

#Kralnor is also featured on [http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/updates.xml#anchorpinprofile the armory], he is listed under an explanation of how to use the profile pin feature.
