;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|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).

;Removing questions: ''Questions should never be removed without a reason.''
 
*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:CDev questions|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.

Bring the Befouled Water Globe to Mastok Wrilehiss at Splintertree Post, Ashenvale.

:*Why must there always be a [[Lich King]]?
 
   
  +
*[[Befouled Water Globe]] (Provided)
:;Gallywix's whereabouts - {{Rating|2}}
 
  +
== Description ==
:*What happened to [[Gallywix]] after his agreement with Thrall was settled?
 
  +
The slain elemental has produced an intensely glowing globe of water. The contents of the globe are, at best, disgusting. It would be safe to assume that whatever has befouled the water of Mystral Lake is most likely present in the water of the globe.
   
  +
It's not exactly common knowledge who might be interested in such a find; perhaps the person who originally sent you out to the lake, Mastok Wrilehiss at Splintertree Post, might have an idea.
:;Gallywix as racial leader- {{Rating|}}
 
  +
==Progress==
:*Why did Thrall appoint Gallywix as racial leader after he betrayed the goblins and tried to kill him?
 
  +
Yeah, what do you need?
  +
==Completion==
  +
You find a nasty ball of water and decide to bring it to me? &nbsp;Who am I, the Earthen Ring or something?
   
  +
Actually, that does give me an idea... perhaps you do need the Earthen Ring for this. &nbsp;I mean, if it helps clear up the situation at the lake for good, then I'm all for it.

:;Stone Guard Mur'og - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What the story with [[Maul of Stone Guard Mur'og|Stone Guard Mur'og]]?
 
 
:;Sargeras - {{Rating|}}
 
:*If the entity Aegywnn fought in Northrend was the Avatar of Sargeras, does that mean that Sargeras’ 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?
 
 
:;Bolvar - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What exactly happened to Bolvar at Wrathgate to leave him in a state we see him during Lich King fight ? Did he die from Forsaken's plague and was then resurrected by dragon's flame ? Or maybe dragon's fire left him in a state of something between life and death?

:;Illidian - {{Rating|}}
 
:*How did Illidan come to have any knowledge about Lady Vashj and her Naga, and how did he know how to contact them? Was he not imprisoned for ten thousand years; and were the Naga in turn not elusive of the Night Elves until the Third War?
 
 
:;Gryan - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What did Gryan Stoutmantle do during the First, Second, and Third Wars, was he just a typical soldier or was there anything more to him?
 
 
:;Thrall - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Should we assume Thrall was a bit younger than his stated age on the Warcraft III manual at the time of those events? [Long story short: we were with some friends discussing how the times of the visit his parents pay to grandmother Geyah, "Go'el", the Second war dates, Frostwolf and Aedelas Blackmoore's storylines could match and found no other solution but that]
 
 
:;Krol - {{Rating|}}

:;D'sak - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Where's Twilight Lord D'Sak? He was the author of all the texts hold by the Twilight Hammer at Silithus, and seemed a pretty important member of the cult, will he appear at Cataclysm?
 
 
:;Broll Bearmante - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Where is Broll Bearmantle? He was supposed to replace Fandral Staghelm at Darnassus as the leader of the night elf druids (Malfurion is the neutral leader of the druids)? And no, he didn't die at Stormrage, HE SURVIVED!
 
 
:;Tharbek - {{Rating|}}
 
:*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? Also, what clan was Varok from? Blackrock and Bleeding Hollow are the most logic answers, but anything is possible.
 
 
:;Morbent Fel - {{Rating|}}
 
:*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 met a necromancer at Duskwood by a identical name, Morbent Fel. Are they the same person? We already saw lichs reverting to human form when we defeated Ras Frostwhisper at Scholomance, could Morbent have followed the same process? With Cataclysm, Morbent Fel becomes a lich, could this confirm the theory? If they are the same person, does he still serve the Burning Legion?
 
 
:;Galakrond - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Can you tell us more about Galakrond?
 
 
:;Lorena - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What happened with Cycle of Hatred's Lorena and her crew? there were a lot of named soldiers, privates and colonels at that novel, and none of them has ever appeared in-game. Lorena was Jaina's favorite colonel, and she even helped her and Aegwynn defeat Zmodlor.
 
 
:;Oro's - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What can you tell us about the Naaru O'ros? He can not be fought and has nothing to do with the lore save for a childrens week quest.
 
 
:;Characters - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Will we see the wild dwarf and high elf characters of Legends' two part story Warrior: Divided and Warrior: United around Hinterlands? You know, Kardan, Keers, Mastran, Mozza, Ravic, Voldana... and finally the 2 human twins that are protagonist to both stories.
 
 
:;Calia - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Calia Menethil - What has become of her?
 
 
:;Schnottz - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Who is Commander Schnottz? the quests in uldum are surprisingly vague.
 
 
:;Isiden Perenolde - {{Rating|}}

:;Anubisath and the Uldum Watchers - {{Rating|1}}

:;Troll Regeneration - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*How does troll regeneration work (Biological or Magic) and why does it not work sometimes (ex: Zul'jin)?
 
 
:;Vrykul - {{Rating|}}
 
:*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? Furthermore, what is 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?
 
 
:;Orc - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Why do orcs like the Blackrock and Dragonmaw have unique skin colors? Is it due to ethnicity, exposure to ash, or something else?

:*Is High Warlord Naj'entus and others with the same model a naga anomaly?
 
 
:;Furbolg - {{Rating|}}

:;Tol'vir - {{Rating|}}
 
:*In the first batch of questions, you explained the origin of the Obsidian Destroyers, by saying they were enslaved Tol'vir. Were they Tol'vir that the qiraji captured, or were they created by the qiraji themselves using stolen titan technology? Could that explain why they are so radically different in appearance? Would that mean the Anubisaths were created using stolen titan technology, too?
 
 
:;Dwarf - {{Rating|}}
 
:*We know each of the 3 clans is composed by an unique subrace. Wildhammers are taller and stronger than their Bronzebeard cousins, while Dark Irons have a dark skin. We've seen different naming conventions:
 
 
-Bronzebeard clan: Ironforge dwarf, Mountain dwarf
 
-Wildhammer clan: Wildhammer dwarf, Wild dwarf, Hill dwarf
 
-Dark Iron clan: Dark Iron dwarf
 
 
My question is, which are the accurate descriptions for each subrace? I think Bronzebeards are "mountain", because Muradin is called like that by the Frostborn, but the other 2 are still pretty ambiguous.
 
 
:;Tothrezim - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Do the Tothrezim still exist, or have they been retconned and replaced with the Gan'arg and Mo'arg?
 
 
:;Nathrezim - {{Rating|}}

:;Aqir - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What did the aqir look like before splitting into Azjol-Nerub and Ahn'Qiraj and adapting into their new environments? Had they humanoid shape, like the Twin Emperors?
 
 
:;Human - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Were the trappper communities in the Grizzly Hills recent immigrants from Lordaeron/Stormwind/etc... or survivors of the Northrend humans Ner'zhul killed off before the War of the Spider? If so, where and when do the latter originally come from?
 
===Creatures===
 
----
 
''The following questions are about creatures found within the Warcraft universe. Such as skeletons, dragons, and elementals.''
 
 
:;Draenor elementals - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*If Cyrukh is a firelord like Ragnaros, does Draenor also have it's own versions of Neptulon, Al'akir and Therazane?
 
 
:;Elemental dragons - {{Rating|2}}
 
:*Where did the [[stone dragon|stone]] and [[storm dragon|storm drakes]] come from?
 
 
:;Ettin - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*What are the [[ettin]]?
 
 
:;Rockflayers - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*Why are the [[rockflayer]]s, a outland species, in Deepholm, a elemental plane of Azeroth?
 
 
:;Ancients of Wind/Wonder - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*What happened to the [[Ancient of Wind|Ancients of Wind]] and the [[Ancient of Wonder|Ancients of Wonder]]?
 
 
:;Of Souls - {{Rating|2}}
 
:*What are the Reliquary of Souls / Devourer Of Souls?
 
 
:;Tree of Life - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*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, but now that Nordrassil is somewhat restored will they return?
 
 
:;Leviathan and Kraken - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*You(blizzard and/or writers) seem to use the term leviathan and kraken to treat two different types of aquatic creatures, so which one is the kraken and which one is the leviathan, the fish/reptile one or the squid/octopus one?
 
 
:;Voidwalker - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*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?
 
 
:;Gronn Size - {{Rating|}}
 
:* How large can a Gronn grow?
 
 
:;Gronn Amount - {{Rating|}}
 
:* How numerous are the Gronn?
 
 
:;Uldum Watcher - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*What are the stories of the four titan watchers in Uldum? Particularly the fact that their seats are associated with 4 different schools of magic.
 
 
:;Voidwalker - {{Rating|}}
 
:*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?
 
 
:;Elementals - {{Rating|}}
 
:*In the Hyjal quest "Elementry!" you state 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? Also where do elemental lords like Murmur who dont seem to be from any world in particular link into this origin story?
 
 
:;Giant - {{Rating|}}
 
:*There are various types of giants in Azeroth, but I read that the titans only made three types of giant. I assume that these other giant variants, based on design, are part of the three main giant races. But since it's only assumptions, I'm essentially asking to clarify the origins of these other giants. Could say the origins and relation of these types of giants: Fire, Ice, Hill, Frost, Molten, Stone, Iron Giant and Colossi? And what is their connection to Mountain, Sea and Storm Giants?
 
 
:;Dragons - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Can you explain the “family” habits of dragons? Are they incestuous as some speculate? Do only the Aspects get mates? Is Alexstraza actually also Korialstrasz’s mother?
 
 
:;Shadow Ascendant - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Are shadow ascendants and the cult of the forgotten shadow, cannon?
 
 
:;Mana serpent - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Mana serpents, Dragonkin or elemental?
 
 
:;Fel Reavers - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Are Fel reavers Demon possessed construct or are they a fel flame powered construct?
 
 
:;Titan - {{Rating|}}
 
:*After speaking to ghostcrawler at the cataclysm midnight launch in london. I was told that Tyr was intended to be the titan who fell against C'thun. If so does this mean all watchers are titans, or Tyr a unique case? On the same topic what does that mean Ptah is? who in many respects fills the criteria as the titan who fell against C'thun especially since his tomb is in Uldum and that very tomb is seemingly the origination weapon itself.
 
 
:;Fiends Ered'ruin - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Are Fiends(face on chest demon with jewel on forehead) related with Ered'ruin race? they look similiar(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.
 
 
:;Banshee - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What exactly is a Banshee, and are non-elven races able to become one?
 
 
:;Valkyr - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Why is the gift of the Val'kyr limited to Vrykul women?
 
 
:;Anubisath - {{Rating|}}
 
:*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
 
 
:;Giants of Draenor - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Are the Giants of Draenor, whose bodies were used to build the Temples of the Damned, just another name for the Gronn? The orcish word for "Giant of Draenor" is Grom, maybe Grom and Gronn are just the same?
 
 
:;Forgotten One - {{Rating|}}
 
:*During W3:TFT undead campaign, we confronted a "Forgotten One", deep in Azjol-Nerub. It hasn't been mentioned in-game again, and the novelization of the events utterly ignored it. What happened with it? Was it a tendril of Yogg-Saron, a manifestation of his power? What could be it?
 
===Organizations===

:*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?
 
 
:;Orc Clans - {{Rating|}}
 
:*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?

:;Tirisfal Glades - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What was the dark presence that caused the [[Highborne]] to abandon [[Tirisfal Glades]] for [[Quel'Thalas]]?
 
 
:;Ulmat Thondr - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*In ''[[The Last Guardian]]'', an unknown peninsula at the south is mentioned: Ulmat Thondr. It's rumored to have jungle troll activity, so could we say this place is the same as Stranglethorn Vale?
 
 
:;Greenrush River - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*What happened with [[Greenrush River]]? This river started in the center of Lake Abasi at Zul'Aman, and flew into Darrowmere Lake. It's probably the same as Thondroril River, but there's no river going out of Quel'Thalas that could connect both places.

:*What happened with Vandermar Village? It's the first stage of the W3:RoC undead campaign. Did it turn into Deathknell?
 
 
:;Nendis - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What happened with the port of Nendis? It's the first stage of the W3:TFT night elf campaign. Geographically, it should be located north of Azshara. Could it be somewhere along the coast of Winterspring?
 
 
:;Kalimdor - {{Rating|}}
 
:*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.
 
 
:;Pandaria - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Was Pandaria a part of Old Kalimdor before the Sundering?
 
 
:;Aqir city - {{Rating|}}
 
:*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? If it's not around the known world, could it be at Pandaria?

:;Ashbringer's Origin - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*What is the origin of the crystal the [[Ashbringer]] was formed from? Many speculate it could be the shard of a dead naaru, that turned back to the light once it was purified by Alexandros and friends. Is it the shard of a naaru? Also, could it be one of the shards of the Ata'mal crystal?
 
 
:;Felo'melorn - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*What happened with [[Felo'melorn]], Flamestrike, the blade of the Sunstrider family? We last saw it at the battle between Illidari and Scourge at Icecrown, and it hasn't ever appeared in-game.
 
 
:;Glaive of the Aspects - {{Rating|1}}
 
:*What happened with the [[Glaive of the Aspects]]? [[Highlord Kruul]] assaulted Azeroth in the pre-TBC event searching its shards, and finally [[Kazzak]] managed to rebuild the glaive. It's even mentioned in it's page at the official site, but we haven't heard from the weapon ever again, and it doesn't appear in-game.

The ancients are: A [[wolverine]] guardian, a tiny red [[fox]], a winged [[panther]], [[pixie]]s, a [[reptilian warrior]] , male oak figures with hoods, a [[stick bug]] race, and a bearded squat warrior that was riding two wolves and using a sickle as a weapon.

:*Can you elaborate more on the “red mist” from the “Unbroken” story? Was it a weapon of the Legion? What exactly did it do to the Draenei to cause them to be unable to wield the Light? Would it work on other races?

:;Troll pantheon - {{Rating|}}
 
:*Are the animal gods of the various troll pantheons in any way related to the animal ancients revered by the night elves. It would be a great way to neatly tie together druids of all races, the animal forms assumed by troll priests and prophets, and the night-elves-are-descended-from-trolls theory. For example, is it possible that Nalorakk is a descendant or relative of Ursol and Ursoc?

:;Blue Skin - {{Rating|}}
 
:*What is the nature of the "blue skin" on various Vrykul and the Frostborn? It seems as though the blueness followed the Curse of Flesh, as though it was a secondary mutation. What's odd is that the Frostborn seems a tribe unto its own, the blue Vrykul females of Storm Peaks are fanatically loyal to the Watcher Thorim, and the blue Vrykul men and women of Icecrown and Skadi are loyal to the Lich King. If the mutation was the result of a specific interaction, I would assume such behavior would be more uniform. Perhaps there's a LOT more story there?

:*There should be more draenei around, it's just outrageous! Felwood, Desolace and Ashenvale make perfect places. And please, update their architecture, you have no excuse to be still using those crappy buildings back from the Alpha. Same for high/blood elf and forest troll buildings. Please .

:*Why did Moira come to Ironforge? Was there some sort of rebellion and she had to flee? Maybe the bosses of Blackrock Depths could be changed to reflect that there's a new Emperor, that kicked out Moira with the death of his husband. Or maybe, she left some sort of regent there, that has gone rebel?

HordeThe Befouled Element
Start Spell shadow teleport [Befouled Water Globe]
End Mastok Wrilehiss
Level 27 (Requires 23)
Experience 550 XP
Reputation 25 Orgrimmar
Next Je'neu of the Earthen Ring

The Befouled Element is the 1st quest in the The Befouled Element quest chain.

Objectives

Bring the Befouled Water Globe to Mastok Wrilehiss at Splintertree Post, Ashenvale.

Description

The slain elemental has produced an intensely glowing globe of water. The contents of the globe are, at best, disgusting. It would be safe to assume that whatever has befouled the water of Mystral Lake is most likely present in the water of the globe.

It's not exactly common knowledge who might be interested in such a find; perhaps the person who originally sent you out to the lake, Mastok Wrilehiss at Splintertree Post, might have an idea.

Progress

Yeah, what do you need?

Completion

You find a nasty ball of water and decide to bring it to me?  Who am I, the Earthen Ring or something?

Actually, that does give me an idea... perhaps you do need the Earthen Ring for this.  I mean, if it helps clear up the situation at the lake for good, then I'm all for it.

You know who the Earthen Ring are, <name>?

Gains

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

  • 550 XP (or 3s 30c at max level)

Quest chain

  1. Quest:The Befouled Element
  2. Quest:Je'neu of the Earthen Ring
