The Storm Peaks have a mysterious history. Long ago, the Titans lived here. They created Ulduar as their city, and it is from here that they conducted their experiments. It is said that the Storm Peaks are the origin of the storm giants, and perhaps the [[dwarves]] and [[trogg]]s as well. The [[tolvir]] aided the Titans in the construction of the great city, but all members of the cat-like race vanished long ago.

The region was protected for centuries by the [[earthen]], [[giants]], and the [[Watcher_(titanic)|Titanic Watchers]] left behind by the Titans. The supreme ruler of the Storm Peaks and the primary guardian of all of Azeroth, [[Loken]], co-ordinated the efforts of the Titans' creations for centuries. In time, Loken fell to the corruption of the Old God buried beneath Ulduar, the vile [[Yogg-Saron]]. Loken captured the other watchers and schemed to release Yogg-Saron. He nearly succeeded, but heroes of the [[Alliance]] and the [[Horde]] infiltrated Ulduar and put an end to both Loken and his dark patron.

After the defeat of [[Yogg-Saron]] and his servants, the [[Iron Dwarves]] and the corrupted watcher [[Loken]], the former [[earthen]] and [[giant]] residents of [[Ulduar]] were able to retake their home. In the wake of the [[Cataclysm]], dark forces from beneath the surface have risen to assault the bastion of the [[Titans]].

  +
*Valkyrion has been taken by [[User:GoldenYak/Death_Queen_Angerboda|Death Queen Angerboda]] and her [[User:GoldenYak/The_Scourge_Remnants#Angerboda_and_the_Queen.27s_Wrath_Scourge|Scourge remnants]].
  +
*The [[earthen]]have retaken the [[Ulduar]] complex and it's substructures. The Twilight's Hammer have occupied the [[Iron Dwarf]] holdings and are reanimating them by infusing them with refined liquid [[saronite]]. Together they are assaulting the earthen fortifications.

The substructures of Ulduar are built throughout the Storm Peaks, and they weathered the devastation wrought by the Cataclysm surprisingly well. Some of the great machines left buried by the Titans and their servants have ceased to function, but the earthen tirelessly labor to restore them to working order. Nerubians have begun to infest the lower substructures, digging tunnels into the ancient machinery.
