-===Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects===
-*''I believe that you will find that my gift to you is not just a profound duty--which it is--but also a delight--which it is! Magic must be regulated, managed, and controlled. But it must also be appreciated and valued and not hoarded. Such is the contradiction you must deal with. May you be dutiful...and joyous both.'' - Blessing of the Blue Aspect<ref>''[[Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects]]'', page 286</ref>

-'''Norgannon''' is a male [[aesir]] [[titan]]. His platinum-skinned body emanates arcane power like a tangible force, making skin prickle and hair stand on end. He wears a long cloak covering his head and a tunic, and has a long beard.
-Norgannon is master of the arcane magic, knowledge, secrets and mysteries. In many of the worlds created by the titans, spellcasters revere him as paragon of their spellcrafts, and whisper his name when casting a spell while others beseech his protection against the corruption of the arcane. [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] doesn't know anything about him, except for his Watchers of [[Uldaman]], [[Ulduar]], and [[Uldum]].
-The titans prefer not to use arcane magic because of its corrupting nature. [[Aman'Thul]] the Highfather charged Norgannon with the task of cataloging all spells and magical currents in the universe, including Arcane magic which originates in the [[Twisting Nether]]. With the knowledge gathered concerning Arcane magic, the Highfather hopes one day to defeat the [[Burning Legion]] and other enemies. Norgannon knows almost everything and is passionless, his face  expressionless and rigid. He is the historian of the Titans and holds a massive disc in his hand with sculpted glyphs and recordings, similar to the [[Discs of Norgannon]] within Uldaman.
-=== In combat ===
-Against serious opposition, Norgannon gates in additional titans, usually [[Eonar]], [[Aggramar]], and Aman'Thul. He avoids melee, and prefers to cast from a ranged distance flying above and afar. If in jeopardy, he casts mirror image as an illusion and casts [[AoE]] (area of effect) while the other titans take care of melee. He can teleport his fellow titans to safety if needed. Polymorph, project image, phase, and many other spells are described in the Warcraft RPG book ''[[Shadows & Light]]''.
-== Myth ==
-{{speculation}}
-He may have been based on the Aesir Norse God [[wikipedia:Bragi|Bragi]], god of poetry and lore, or [[wikipedia:Mímir|Mímir]], god of Runes and knowledge.
-His name may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Organon|Organon]], the name given to Aristotle's works of logic.
