Know Your Lore: Nozdormu the Timeless

Aug 7th, 2008

Welcome to Know Your Lore, where each week Alex Ziebart brings you a tasty little morsel of lore to wrap your mind around. Sweet, sweet lore. Mmmm. Have suggestions for future KYL topics? E-mail us! Or, if you have a question for our sister column Ask a Lore Nerd, e-mail us those, too!

Nozdormu is the fifth and final dragon aspect, since the filthy Netherwing aspect doesn't count! Silly mutant spawn of Deathwing, thinking they're special or something. Anyhow, Nozdormu the Timeless is the aspect of the Bronze Dragonflight, and was given his power by the titan lord Aman'Thul. Nozdormu has power over time and can, technically, alter it to his whims. Though he's capable of doing such, he is meant to watch over the timeline and prevent it from being altered by outside forces.

Nozdormu, more or less, oversees the Caverns of Time. Or rather, he has in the past. Currently Nozdormu is preoccupied with some uberpowerful anomaly in the timeline, and has left his prime consort Soridormi in charge. You would think the Timeless One would have all the time in the world to get things done, but his history in Warcraft thus far says otherwise.

Father's Day in Azeroth: A salute to the fathers of Warcraft lore

Jun 15th, 2008

http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=1019543So it's Father's Day, the time when we all pay homage to the fathers or father figures in our lives, and thank them for all that they do. While we can't say for sure if they celebrate Father's Day in Azeroth, too, there's a lot of people in Azeroth and Outland who have reason to think back on their dads today. Many dads of Azeroth have affected their children's lives or been affected by them. The ramifications of the interactions of these fathers and children have then in turn affected the lore and story of Warcraft in ways great and small.

Therefore, in honor of the holiday, let's look at 10 famous and not-so-famous dads of Warcraft lore (listed in no particular order).

Free transfers for some European realms

Jan 8th, 2007
For the European-server-playing readers in the audience, some awesome cracking news: free transfers, including a couple of brand-new realms! Thundgot sends a telegram wireless announcing the following transfers for English realms, with a stern note to the effect that origin and destination realms are subject to change, and that they won't be helping guilds with transfers:

  • Burning Legion to Boulderfist
    Burning Legion to Haomarush

    Crushridge to Burning Blade
    Crushridge to Jaedenar

    Drak'thul to Twisting Nether
    Drak'thul to Xavius

    Frostmane to Dentarg
    Frostmane to Mazrigos

    Grim Batol to Agamaggan
    Grim Batol to Dragonmaw

    Warsong to Daggerspine
    Warsong to Vek'nilash

    Kilrogg to Anachronos (brand new realm)
    Runetotem to Anachronos (brand new realm)

    Silvermoon to Bronze Dragonflight (brand new realm)
    Stormrage to Bronze Dragonflight (brand new realm)

Sometimes I feel like a European when playing since I listen to a lot of BBC radio shows. Can I have free transfers?
