BtDP occurs 2 years after the second war, which would be about 12 years before RoC by my records. Add 5 years for WoW and he'd only be 17 at most.

Plus, he himself states that his father was deployed to Draenor when he was an infant, and that's supported by Danath and Malgor's statements about not seeing him in so long. Maybe Alleria didn't abandon him, but instead Turalyon and/or Alleria decided Draenor was too dangerous for an infant. We don't know. It's a foggy topic, so we can only go by what we have, and the sources we have state he was born on Azeroth.

Edit: Yeah, that's my sig... :P It's a combination of the Kael'thas meme and the Kanye meme. :P

Your link doesn't work Skreeran.

T.T

Now it should. I accidentally typed "your" instead of "you."

Edit: Fixed the word "No" to read "Now" as I meant it to say.

Doesn't it say there is a 10 year gap between 3rd War and the start of Warcraft? In the cinematic I mean. Add in another year for the Dark Portal to reopen in BC.....

Hmm, looking at the timeline, the "unofficial" one, which still seems to be closer then any of the others, Tides of Darkness is 25 years back from BC, with Beyond the Dark Portal being 24 so...... it could work then...

This.

Still, you have Arator's own words. Try telling him "No! You were born on Draenor!"

Post by Adamsm

I agree he was born on Azeroth and left behind for safety. I'm just trying to figure out the time thing, that's what has me stumped.

Post by Skreeran

Don't even try, I tried a while ago and I still can't figure it out. I prefer the old timeline (6 years adp for ToD, BtDP is 2 years after, RoC is 14 years after ToD, WoW is 4 years after RoC, TBC is 1 year after WoW, WotLK is 1 years after TBC, etc.), but the novels, RPG guides, and other sources with their conflicting timelines muddle everything up too much.

So has anyone thought about what Titan Path race 'should take' in regards to the lore. Dwarves I think is obvious (Khaz'Goroth) but the other races are a bit harder.

Oh another thing, with the discussion about the Army of the Light a few pages back. I do believe Aggramar will have some sort of connection to it, with the whole "Must destroy the Legion" thing.

Well, as for the Path of the Titans thing... I would guess that the Night Elves and Tauren would take Eonar, you know druidism and all, and I could see Gnomes going for Norgannon since they have the natural affinity for magic. For the others it's a little more murky. Humans can do just about anything, but with them developing from the Vrykul, it's hard to say who exactly they would choose.

And with Aggramar being involved in the Army of Light, I could definitely see that.

Post by Skreeran

I think the path of the titans is silly. There's no way my orc or goblin would give a flying %$#@ about the giant spacemen who made the world, much less join one of their "cults."

Seriously, they called them cults at Blizzcon.

"Hey! Welcome to the Cult of Norgannon! Better enjoy your cheaper spells while you have them because ritual suicide is at 10!"

I remembered reading a post of Skreeran's back in the Siege of Stormwind RP(the one where Dag'Rema usurped Neeru Fireblade), and upon thinking about it, it got me wondering. What role might Neeru Fireblade and the Burning Blade Clan play in the future?

The WoWWiki page for them says that attempts to dismantle them have been largely unsuccessful. I wonder what the future holds for them...

Post by Skreeran

He's like level 18, I doubt he'll have any sort of major role. Archbishop Benedictus, who does almost nothing, is at least a 60 Elite, and was a boss at one point. Neeru can be downed by stray AoE. I imagine if they intended him to be anything more than a low-level questgiver for a low-level quest chain, they would have buffed him by now. Maybe mentioned him in the comics or manga.

Post by HiVolt

Well, I only say Neeru, because he's the only one that we know of that we can recognize as the leader of the Burning Blade.

I would really like to see more of the Clan's story though. WoWWiki says they want nothing more than to bring about the downfall of the New Horde and bring it back under the demonic influence. I could see something like that being rather significant with Cataclysm and the events afterward.

Post by Skreeran

Well, that's the cult. There's aren't many true clan members left, and to tell you the truth, it's one of my favorite clans. Mankrik is a member, and Kitanga is half-Burning Blade, although she considers herself whole. She's pretty much disowned her mother.

By the way, I'm almost done with Part 3.

Post by Adamsm

I wonder if the Path of Titans will be tied in when Nazjatar finally rises out of the Maelstorm for Queen Big-Brested idiot's expansion(sorry couldn't resist a shot at her). But it's interesting; after all, all the Titans are "embodiment's" of a certain aspect of nature or an attribute. Intelligence, magic, Nature, things such as that, which would actually give buffs and the like to racials. Would be fun running around with the power of one of the Titans assisting us.

As for the Burning Blade.... kinda of matches the new Cataclysm info, with a certain Brown-skinned Orc taking over the Horde.

Post by Adamsm

Sorry for double post but something came to me....

Are we ever going to see Agewynn and Meryl in game? After all, Agewynn is suppose to have been Jaina's advisor for the last few years, ever since Cycle of Hatred, and now that their rebuilding the Counicl of Trisfal, which Meryl has been a member of for almost 2800 years.....

Also; I'd like Blizzard to either have a book penned for the Troll's Wars or do a manga(either done by Golden Rosenburg, they are such a good team), as I'd really like to learn more about it, after all that was what broke the back of the Proud Amani Nation. Mainly because I want more info to help flesh out my troll RP character even more heh... even if he is "dead".

Post by HiVolt

Oh man, I would loooooooove to see something on the Troll wars.

And I would expect we'll eventually see Agewynn and Meryl, just like we're likely to eventually see Turalyon and Alleria.
