In this video I cover the lore and the origin of the night elves. Going through their evolution from the dark trolls to their discovery of the Well of Eternity. Later I explain the story of their transformation and the creation of Azshara's empire that would rule most of Azeroth. Almost all of this lore is from World of Warcraft: Chronicle Volume 1, although a lot of the old lore was quite similar.

So... like... Blood Elves were also trolls by extension of having been Night Elves... and one of their biggest nemesis are trolls in the Eastern Kingdom. Thats actually pretty awesome!

[@MaledictGaming]

Naga are also a subspecies of Trolls and are also fought by the Dark spear tribe :D (look up Queen Azshara)

[@clay7182]

Trolls are everywhere !

[@blue-9-2-199]

Just like Orc and Ogre fight their own ancestor Gronn and magnaron

[@VegetoStevieD]

@@MaledictGaming Ya, dude is talking about the Blood Elves as if they're any better than the traitorous fallen Naga, the Satyr, or the Highborne Wraiths. Same shit, different day. Blood Elves are fallen, fel touched, and traitors.

[@litergod]

I played a night elf for two years. Somehow never realized they were formerly trolls. Mind blown. Makes sense though, given how they look somewhat similar.

[@khaz1568]

So that means my race were once "Trolls"?

[@Doronsmovies]

+Talendril Silverleaf Well if you race are the night elves then yeah.

[@khaz1568]

+Doronsmovies obviously hehe :)

[@yazan80]

+Doronsmovies Well defacto all elves are trolls. Since they were once part of the nightelf society. Bloodelves, Highelves and even the Nightborn.

[@jordanbauer5843]

+Doronsmovies if you want to expand on it a little more then it would go like this trolls(old) > nelves(old) > nelves/highborne highborne > naga/helves >helves > belves/ nelves > nelves(modern)/ trolls(old) > trolls(modern) so you have ancient trolls that turn into ancient night elves and half(or more) that turn into the highborne that turn into naga and those that didnt were exiled to the eastern kingdoms and were known as high elves who eventually became blood elves (also itd be great to have high elves as a playable subrace of night elves in wow)

[@heavyarmoredmage2374]

I have a game theory that goblins evolved from enslaved pygmies in the troll mines of Kezan and that pygmies where created by the curse of flesh from less intelligent simple AI or failure versions of mechagnomes kind of like how troggs where failed version of earthen what do you think?

[@Allycat101010]

Everything in Warcraft is trolls or old gods.

[@Qwufi]

Ya mon. We be da alpha an' omgea.

[@Qwufi]

Ya mon. We be da alpha an' omega.

[@frankanderson9577]

And titan creation

[@deb2499]

Sounds like homestuck

[@mariomarques775]

Not the gnomes and dwarves. They're titan creations afflicted by the curse of flesh.

[@Pille22]

I never knew that Nightelves are just "smart magic Trolls"! :O :D

[@Galendramatik]

Actually what they are are magically empowered trolls, smarter, taller, stronger and magically more potent than the trolls. In short, they are just better.

[@dik56]

@@Galendramatik and definitely hotter

[@hordeforsaken5469]

Night elves came from the trolls High elves came from night elves High elves and trolls hate each other

[@placeholdername3818]

GlennRoj VEVO Trolls hate the trolls too so..

[@azurengamer9392]

well when you think about the trolls' hatred for the highborn/high elves is understandable, they suppressed their ancient empire, cracked the continent into 4 cause of their vain greed for power, and the high elves of Silvermoon took over sacred ground belonging to the Amani trolls, elves are real assholes to trolls.

[@Fr0staX]

Horde Forsaken And the Blood Elves then joined the Horde, so now they love trolls, which is weird considering they were high elves, same with the Nightborne, considering they came from the Highborne too AH MY HEAD! *head explodes*

[@triratna1397]

That means Troll and elves can breed true.

[@clay7182]

The trolls got trolled big time by the elfs

[@ReflexJMx]

Your editing is incredible! Honestly, keep up the good work!

[@Doronsmovies]

+Jason .Medved Thanks, I really appreciate it. :)

[@hsfgghsfgh]

wow this was the first video I've seen on your channel and I'm really impressed. I'm definitely subbing and watching the rest of this series. I love your selection of footage.

[@ziljin]

Love these evolution videos. Trolls became evles. It's the opposite of Lord of the Rings where Elves became Orcs

[@TheAaltje23]

Amazing!! very pleasant to listen to also in combination with the subtitles. Also the video itself was interesting to watch

[@Doronsmovies]

+TheAaltje23 Thanks, I appreciate it.

[@marrasylvie6458]

Thank you for making a video about my favourite faction

[@0192123]

whoa... never would have thought night elves descended from trolls. its weird to think about elves and trolls being related but watching their body structure/anatomy I can actually see how they could be related.

[@Verdespus]

NICE video man keep up the good work!!

[@Doronsmovies]

+niculae virgil Thank you.

[@7F0X7]

So, basically the PC Master Race are the High Elves at the height of their power and Gaben is Queen Azshara?

[@fliperflopis]

+Zankku Zann Go back to school and learn how to spell before you call someone else an idiot.

[@ninaloveray]

Zankku Zann high elves Night Elves and still the same race in a sort of way just that High Elves and those filthy blood elves are into a different form

[@jundo93]

Hey Doron! Can you please do a lore video on how and why the night elves joined the Alliance? Thanks!

[@bindair_dundat]

What did the Kaldorei do in the 10.000 years between the end of the War of the Ancients and the events of Warcraft 3? The Quel'dorei sailed to Tirisfal, then moved on to found Quel'Thalas and created Silvermoon, one of the most beautiful cities. And they had an extensive history with the neighbouring humans and trolls. The Shal'dorei managed to save their city of Suramar, and their isolated society thrived. But the Kaldorei did nothing worth mentioning, apart from the War of the Shifting Sands. They had the entire continent of Kalimdor for 10.000 years, and they never built any great monuments or cities. They didn't even have a capital city before Darnassus, and that was created after the events of Warcraft 3, making it the newest capital city (if we don't count the Exodar a city). For the oldest race. It's like they ceased to exist in that long period. And now they are taking orders from humans. It really is a disgrace how Blizzard couldn't cook up more history for such an ancient and interesting race.

[@Dragonlordniam12]

Oh man, you should have transitioned into the High Elves and how they were exiled Night elves.

[@Chimrasify]

The reason i watch this is the lore, cinematic shots and your voice

[@Doronsmovies]

+Chimras Persson Great to hear, still got a way to go to improve in all those fields but it is always work in progress.

hey man love your videos keep it up :)

[@Doronsmovies]

+Josh Minton Thank you.

[@joshminton3012]

Anytime :)

[@botchie]

I really enjoyed this and u should do a lore of origin for all the current playable races. plz and thank u lmao

[@Doronsmovies]

+Botchie villena Might do more. Currently I'm only covering the new Chronicle lore even though a lot of it is almost the same as the old one. I still haven't covered the humans, dwarves and gnomes.

[@patrikcerny2065]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZIIIING ... THANK YOU SO MUCH ...

[@ConnorH90]

id just like to say, you have some aweaome knowledge od the lore! Night elves were originally trolls? thats crazy! keep up the great stories man!

[@Doronsmovies]

+Connor Higgins Thanks, I wouldn't really say that in this case because most of this lore is from the Chronicle book, but I apprecaite it. :)

[@mystery5719]

From ugly troll to beautiful sexy night elf?? Way to go evolution

[@maltebinz8967]

nice vids entertaining to watch

[@lazypanda78]

Awesome! You've improved so much! Can you do Dwarves next? Or have you done it already..?

[@Doronsmovies]

+Terrorblade Thank you. I covered the dwarf evolution in the chronicle summary, but I plan to do a separate video explaining it in more detail.

[@lazypanda78]

+Doronsmovies oh alrighty good to know!

[@beastmaster0934]

Azeroth’s faces originated in 3 ways 1)Trolls 2)Old God shenanigans 3)The Titans

[@julhho]

Who I want to see next? All races :3

[@botchie]

ME!!

[@rustymetalhead7714]

Can you make a lore video about the orcs or about the different shaman types among the races ? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@Doronsmovies]

+Metalshewolf83 Thanks. I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to, although you can check out my orc roleplaying guide and the shaman roleplaying guide as even if you don't roleplay, I still covered a lot of the lore about the race and the class.

[@mrbling333]

the lore must be strong today video from doronsmovies AND nobbel

[@trapper7954]

Tip, set speed on 1,25X then it’s normal speed

[@Alexanderiii]

So, am I right in saying that the only original races in Azeroth are the Trolls, the Tauren and the Pandaren? The other races evolved from them, were created by the Titans or were from another planets?

[@rednasxela6031]

Humans evolved from giant people from Northrend, I forgot what they're called.

[@greenchilistudioz4537]

vry'kuls, and yes they evolve from them via curse of flesh

[@TheFamilyLedger]

Humans came from the Vry'Kul, who were originally Storm Forged soldiers made by the Titan Watchers. They became the Vry'Kul and then the Humans because of the Curse of Flesh.

[@Allycat101010]

Goblins are also native to azeroth, but the titans did alter them, so up to you how to classify em

[@VaeVictisXIII]

Pretty sure most/all the sentient races where former titan constructs and/or native races to Azeroth extant of the titans in one way or another that due to curse of flesh evolved, all of which have the right to be considered original races as we know of nothing of Azeroth prior to the Black Empire and what may of been there.

[@jothewerewolf]

This is a great format. I'd love to see more race origin videos in the future.

[@Doronsmovies]

+Jonatan Rydén Thanks, will cover a few more races in the near future.

[@jothewerewolf]

Awesome. I'm looking forward to it!

[@howtokitty9714]

Hey doron i have a quick q&a question- Who do you think the next warchief could be? I personally think it could only be baine bloodhoof as he is the son of cairne and are both amazing and honorable tauren "warriors". Thank you!

[@aleksajovanovic5021]

Great video..(samo tako nastavi😉)..

[@Doronsmovies]

+Aleksa Jovanovic Hvala. :)

[@RinNamikeze]

What’s the song in the background? I NEEEEEEED IT

[@Charles36.]

Watch this already but still find it crazy’s how elf’s come from trolls. It kinda reminds me of LOTR orcs come from elf’s. Love your videos

[@marcinzysko1653]

LOL "Children of the stars" XD Entire elven race got TROLLED

[@DavidKimseyshatterglass]

Doron, do you support the theory that Azshara who is quite easily one of the strongest magic users to ever exist, might be immortal?

[@MrStelios888]

I ve been reading chronicles of war and I was thinking about the history of the horde around the first and the second war and what they came to be and I was wondering wich clans do the orcs that are part of the horde cosist of today ?

[@Doronsmovies]

+MrStelios888 The orcs are from various different clans. When they were imprisoned after the war they were put into interment camps, mixing a lot of the clans. When Thrall freed them they all joined the new horde.

[@xantog9422]

thx man

[@Doronsmovies]

+Xantog Glad it helped. :)

[@Kirochi]

Sorry, completely unrelated: what are your thoughts about Tol Barad been pulled out of Baradin Bay since the Cataclysm retcon?

[@Jezza24681]

Awesome video! What happened to Azshara after The Well of Eternity dungeon? Did she just go away, aren't they using her in Legion?

[@DrPluton]

+Kallomon She lives under the sea after she was transformed by the Old God N'zoth. She keeps sending her naga forces to harass the surface dwellers, especially the night elves. I hope she shows up as a boss someday or carries over into whatever will come after World of Warcraft ends.

[@Doronsmovies]

+Kallomon The Well of Eternity is just a time travel dungeon, in reality after the sundering she and her highborne fell into the maelstrom, becoming the naga.

[@Zathul4198]

I rarely comment but I feel the need to because I've always just heard "....and the subgroup of trolls turned into night elves the end." This gives sorely needed detail. Also don't let your dreams be memes, Doron.

[@marcoswillianl]

How powerful were Azshara compared with Kil'Jaeden and Archimonde? Do you have a video about power levels?

[@Doronsmovies]

Many say that she isn't too far below Kil'Jaeden or Archimonde, which means she is very powerful.

[@DavidKimseyshatterglass]

Azshara's power as Doron said is very close to Kil'Jaeden's or Archimonde's. The Pit Commander Mannoroth, found out that her power was much greater than his own. (I think he got angry at her and almost struck her but he found out to not ever attempt such a thing)

[@ocab9589]

good video m8

[@mukavvakutu]

[@PeaceGrrl]

So basically Trolls are the Neanderthals to the elves? Kinda make sense in how they behave and look compare to the more refined elves.

[@cainabel6356]

Only a section of the Night Elves called themselves Kaldorei. Then you have the Queen Azara's High Elves.

[@0L0lawliet0]

zandalari culture vid :D should be great

[@niceguy3388]

so what is the origin of the trolls ?

[@nakenmil]

Lol, elves grew to be more intelligent. Kinda insulting to Vol'jin & Co, right? :P

[@watbebe]

+Enthused Norseman Darkspear tribe kind of seems like the successor to the dark trolls though, their evolution just isn't sped up by the well of eternity, so night elves still remain more intelligent but Darkspear trolls are stronger and more reproductive.

[@Kirochi]

+Sunranaka No, the Darkspear have mastered all schools of magic, are more sympathetic than other Trolls, and are the best at guerrilla warfare. Natural selection has made them as valuable and apt at both survival and ruling as the Night Elves in their prime. Trollidos unidos jamas seran vencidos

[@watbebe]

+Kirochi Isn't that kind of what I said.

[@Kirochi]

+Sunranaka Can't tell, your previous message is gone.

[@watbebe]

+Kirochi Shouldn't be, I can see it.

[@kinetica]

I played a night elf rogue till northrend came out. It inspired my own lore for my illustrated novel series "Chronicles of Alkaya" my character Jaypar Prakkari is a lunar elf/avariel elf he was born without wings, rogue assassin that can shadow jump with umbrakinesis and bend the light around him with cloaking photokinesis. He's not as tall as a night elf only 6'4" 200lbs he's got dark hair cut like the goblin king jareth. He's got glowing green eyes that are adapted to seeing in the dark. In book four in my series "Alkaya: the lightening strikes at night" we follow jaypar on his mission to the darkside of the moon. First he must find the lunar saber or sword of truth an ancient alkayan artifact hidden on mt everest. When he finds the saber he holds it above his head and he's struck by a bolt of ultraviolet lightening and is instantly transported to the palace of the white witch/shadow priestess on the darkside of the moon. She trains jaypar how to use glamour magick and he becomes a Glamancer aka the westside wizard. With her help he finds the air temple to battle the gargoyle king the lunar saber is the only blade sharp enough to cut his flesh. After defeating the king he recovers the air Empyro a biomechanical symbiotic suit of armor that adjusts to conform to the host and is imbued with the elemental power aerokinesis. Think venom meets iron man meets the last airbender. There are three other Empyros that we find in the previous books book one the earth book Alkaya: the legend of Empyro you can find on amazon we find the earth empyro in south America. Alkaya is a parallel world of earth so the geography and names for places are the same. The host for the geo empyro is my younger brothers character bantam bumeril the wood elf demon hunter. The second book Alkaya: The rising tide follows my older brothers character Ferrick Vatten the whale man warrior on his mission to the water temple in the Mariana trench. The third book Alkaya: the wyldfyre follows Kolobar Avlossa the lion manimal pyromancer shaman to the fire temple located at mt. Hood oregon. The fifth book Alkaya: the holy light follows Sabria Masue the high elf holy paladin she discovers there's a fifth Empyro hidden in Egypt that enhances her photokinesis abilities. She's the heals and gets the team together she must solve the riddle of the sphinx. The sixth book Alkaya: the enveloping shadow follows Arnvatta the dark elf repticon and lead singer of dressed for genocide, as he steals an Empyro and they mimic the Empyros technology creating the shadow suit and synth empyros granting enhanced umbrakinesis. The last book in the series is book seven Alkaya: The immortal spirit. After our heroes save their realm from the great shadow dragon Lucifer they decide their work isn't done so they decide to save the multiverse by falling through the void. They end up on earth with their memories erased. Jaypar is the only one whos memories are triggered by different symbols in their realm. When i turned 16 i had a kundalini awakening the doctors called it a manic episode but i knew it was a spiritual emergence and remembered my life in Alkaya. Book seven is almost autobiographical because i talk about my experiences being hospitalized and waking up to my true potential finding the Empyros and save earth from reptilian fascists. You can listen to my audiobook accompaniment here www.soundcloud.com/chroniclesofalkaya

[@Defileros]

Were Tyrande and Malfurion happy with Azshara's leadership and thirst for power?

[@Doronsmovies]

+Defiler Rulez I'm guessing they were fine with the expansion of the empire but Malfurion was one of the first ones to notice Azshara's distancing from her people that are not highborne.

[@mikevlegels1220]

you forget that the night elves didn't transform straight from the trolls they first became high elves. the night elves only came to be because they stopped practicing the arcane magic you switched 2 stages of the evolution xp

[@Friendly_T_Girl]

Great video but in all honesty i had to use a voice changer program to listen to it. Sorry about that. Still great work.

[@alejandroderienosa4828]

so if I wanted to roleplay a night elf mage, and tyrande and malfurion were there at the time of Azhara.... does that mean my self made lore can be somethinglike "ye I basically jumped in the well of eternity and summoned Sargeras... Oops I guess"

[@ninaloveray]

Alejandro De Rienosa no, that means you are a Highborne mage that broke away from Queen Azshara and her followers and you joined the rebellion. So no you did not brought or helped them summon the Legion

[@maelstrumyes3595]

what the fuck so that means the ability of night elves to blend in with the dark were meant for "Trolling" XD man this literally blew my mind

[@queenazshara3941]

You forgot that Azshara was corrupted by Sargeras!

[@K-Viz]

This explains Trollande's accent.

[@Shrugboatt]

Huh. Didn't know they used to be trolls

[@america795]

it was confirmed that the night elves originally evolved from the dark trolls, and the Tribunal of Ages, Freya, and Cenarius all confirmed it.

[@MilkBeard555]

commenting on an ancient video here but. I've always been really confused as to *why Night Elf Shamans are not a more common occurrence in Azeroth* I understand the general argument against this--- ("Nature, The moon" do not equal "The Elements").-- Ok... Well that's honestly a stretch if you honestly think about it. *Wind is an element, nature is an element, and earth is where plants grow* We're just missing fire being something commonly manipulated by the elves and it isn't like its even taboo (mages). But lets think, there are races such as the Draeni and the Dwarves that heavily worship the light, yet have taken up the role of shaman. Are Shamans not also about Harmony like Druids are? Trying to maintain balance in Nature? ---- I'm not super literate in the lore that isn't directly part of this series' games (haven't read the books, played the card game). What are some arguements that could support Night Elf Shamans being a playable in WoW? What are pretty decent ones explaining why they shouldn't, am I missing something here, or is blizzard? Also, no paladins of Elune?

[@ssj3theoutsider228]

Is there a timeline about that era? I mean a recent one with the chronicles

[@Doronsmovies]

+ssj3 the beyonder Which era?

[@ssj3theoutsider228]

Doronsmovies the Night elves one, during their empire time, before the war of the Ancients

[@Doronsmovies]

+ssj3 the beyonder I don't have a source right now but I believe it is about 11k years ago. The Lei-Shen story happened about 12k years ago and the zandalari were powerful back then. The Zandalari were then defeated at Uldum and I'm guessing the night elves then established their empire.

[@ssj3theoutsider228]

Doronsmovies ok, so they changed the 14k years...their empire lasted only one thousand years?

[@Doronsmovies]

+ssj3 the beyonder Well in the book it is said that the period of the troll evolution to the war of the ancients was between 15-10k years ago. In my opinion I think it was about 11k years ago just because Lei-Shen had allied with the Zandalari who were powerful. Plus i'm pretty sure if the night elf empire was around, that Lei-Shen would have noticed it or done something about it. In the book it is said that the night elven empire dwarfed that of Lei-Shens. All in all 1k years is not a short period at of time. The horde itself that built Orgrimmar and all the various outposts and cities was only created about 15 years ago.

blood troll

[@jc14romero18]

wheres Elune?

[@ninaloveray]

Jc14 Romero she's that big white ball in the sky when is Night! That's elune and that means she is in the cosmos

[@kostasmonkey300]

Can everybody to become druid if you have a needed guidance or is something you get born with it?

[@madcap830]

I think the knowledge has to be given to you. Tauren and Nightelves learned it from Cenarius, Trolls learned it from the Loa, Who were wild gods themselves, Worgen orignally were Nightelves that succumbed to a forbidden beast shape. And the Kul'Tirans becoming playable, they learned it from the Drust.

[@kobayashi4377]

Well, they do look a bit like trolls tbf

[@TaskForceSixTwoSix]

What about the Blood Elves?

[@TonyNumber9]

he did video about that

[@TaskForceSixTwoSix]

+SuperCool Chikorita Can you link it? I couldn't find anything besides a guide on how to role play as a blood elf.

[@KidofEarth1]

Blood elves are descendants of night elves, so technically they are trolls also 😂😂

[@Doronsmovies]

+TaskForceSixTwoSix I might do a full video but since the Chronicle lore is about the same as the old one it might not be worth it since I talked about them many times. Check out the last part of the Chronicle summary, I explained the origin of the the high elves. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIvLqqyBp6-dnpY

[@TonyNumber9]

+KidofEarth1 DarkTrolls>NightElves>HighElves>Blood Elves here is evolution tree in nutshell

[@ouroborosi]

Never understood the name Night Elves, why? Should they just be called Elves there is no other Elf to compare to in the old days. But like you said there also known Childern of the Stars. Maybe Elf is just another word for child, and with there longlifity the word child might have dozens of diferent layers. More akin to the growth of an apprentice/student then a of a real child. So... Night Elf = Star Child High Elf = Higher Child (because a human compared to an elf will always be a beginner) Blood Elf = Fallen/forgotten Child Nightborn = We are a star

[@harku123]

Didn't Azshara fall in love with Sargeras or something? Or is that some kinda fan fiction that someone told me? ;)

[@andrewroncallo1336]

No your right, the mad queen dis d love the corrupted titan.....their "Love" shook the world....literally.

[@NegruVodka]

the narrator sounds to be a troll.

[@Ferril21]

When is Kaldorei considerent adult ? I want roleplay Nelf but I don't know how old I should be, but I wouldn't like to be super old.

[@madcap830]

They mature as humans do.

[@rezaruki3912]

So basically everyone start from troll

[@alexpopescu9431]

Sooo, are the worgens trolls too?

[@seculervalkarien]

worgens are a humans that lived on gilneas , then they get possesed with a spell or some shit like that to transform into humanoid wolves,so nope , but all the elves were trolls once , the humans evolved , the orcs came from draenor , draeneis are space alien blue goats , tauren were the shame but with more hair and pandas are just pandas , the others were primitive species of the shame we have today

[@alexpopescu9431]

+Seculer XD I mean the og worens, the first ones who were elves

[@seculervalkarien]

let me say it in a easy way, elve=troll

[@alexpopescu9431]

+Seculer XD k :D

[@loretapetalino1867]

Actually the truth is in warcraft chronicles

[@AssassinEmbers]

huh? i never knew night elves have troll blood in them but anyway i find the night elves to be the most beautiful women it all of world of warcraft everytime i see a night elf female i'm always in awe and in love with their unique beauty

"He built" ....Azhara has a donger confirmed

[@rafaelfreitas6759]

Colosoes de meteoros

[@dune8101]

Don't fly high!

[@amonlieutenant1949]

technically weren't trolls....trolls and night elves shared a singular ancestral line of primitive humanoids......soooooooo....there's a few other little bits that aren't entirely correct though

[@Vhailor_Mithras]

I have a problem with your discussion about the Dark Trolls. First off, they didn't care about "the natural world and living in harmony with it." They were barbaric. They were considered absolutely savages even by the other Trolls' standards. They were reclusive and like many other types of Trolls were no strangers to cannibalism. I don't even think they liked living with each other, let alone having a society. It was a miracle that they could co-exist with themselves to settle on the shores of the Well.

[@KisiroKitsune]

Vhailor Mithras That's wrong though. Chronicle describes them as nature lovers.

[@inabsolutedarkness13]

Been a canibalistic predator doesn't mean that you are not in harmony with nature. The Bosmer (Wood Elves) from Elder Scrolls, are actually cannibals. They have the "Green Pact" with Y'ffrey. This pact means that they cannot harm any plant or wood and (of course) not eat vegetables, but they are incentivized to eat flesh and meat form animal and their enemys and make all kind of stuff with their bones. They still live "in harmony" with "some" nature.

question, where can I see that Dark Trolls were made into Night elfs? seems so weird but interested in that(just found about it now x), also I saw that they are speculated to have become Dark elfs first, is that just a speculation(if yes where did that speculation come from)? here is the link for that wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_troll But one thing I'm sure of is that Trolls were made too troll

[@darkmoonredrock]

so the well of eternity was made when the titans ripped yashiraaj from azeroth, and the dark trolls believe elune was somehow connected to it, does that mean they could be worshipping an old god?

[@Kirochi]

+Darkmoon Redrock No, Elune is the World-Soul, a Titan waiting to be born.

[@Doronsmovies]

+Darkmoon Redrock Nope, the well of eternity is the blood of the Azeroth world soul. We don't know what Elune is but it is speculated that she is the actual world soul or some manifestation of it.

[@darkmoonredrock]

ah

[@watbebe]

+Darkmoon Redrock The well of eternity wasn't made when y'shaarj was ripped from Azeroth, reread your lore please. The wiki says this: "Eventually, after the remaining old gods were imprisoned, the titan-forged labored long and hard, creating magic wards around the wound to prevent the volatile energy from leeching out and consuming Azeroth over time. The result of their labors became known as the Well of Eternity." So it's even only indirectly related to their volatile energy, it's not even their prison.

[@darkmoonredrock]

The only reason it's there though is because y'shaarj got rekt.

These were high elves......Night elves were the ones who broke out and banned the magic.....

[@bigbooda011]

I don't like the new allied race for the horde because they look too much like night elves

[@Galendramatik]

Elves were literally blessed with the blood of an old god. They are vastly superior to trolls, regardless of what people say. Elves are constructed of magic, troll blood, and near titanic energy. It is literally stupid to say that the elves are not the strongest race of the playable in Azeroth. Illidan Stormrage. Maiev Shadowsong, Tyrande Whisperwind, all of these characters play a part in what matters. The trolls are but a sub-species in the general run of the entire story. I feel sorry for the nu-world of warcraft viewers who take a look at the current situation of warcraft and realize that anime wings and hot big tits is the lore. I feel truly sorry for you. I wish you could participate in the awesomeness that was the launch and old days of World of Warcraft.

So the dark trolls that dwell in caves stand upright and look even better than the later released new troll player models? :( not cool blizzard, not cool.

[@Doronsmovies]

+MrHiglon The Well of Eternity has straightened their spine 10k years ago so even though they were dark trolls, they definitely don't look like them.

[@tacos_and_brew]

learn new sh!t every day. had no clue that all elfs were trolls once.. I'm mostly a fan of titan vs old one history. would love to see a video of how humans and / or their ancient titan forged vrykuls learned about the light, its always been strongly hinted that the titan with a hand of silver (tyr) showed them but not on how he did,.

[@clarksmith7462]

So Night Elves came from trolls.. High elves came from Night Elves.. and Blood Elves came from high elves.... what came before trolls? HA! evolution disproven.
