Draenei lore. Please help.Follow

#1 Mar 29 2012 at 6:55 PM Rating: Decent
Alright. This is a very blank spot in particular with absolutely NO information of whatsoever (or none that I can find). So I suppose only speculation can be made. But when the Exodar was taken by the Draenei from the blood elves on Draenor, were there any that stood behind in Shattrath? I'm sure there were enough to keep it running. This information is for my character's background (I role-play). I only need to see what others think before actually putting it into m character's back story. Thank you for any and all help. Upon request, I'll gladly post what I have of the back story so far. I fully understand the liking of reading such things as I do as well.

Just wanted to see if it showed if you edited a post.

Um, I'm not sure what you're talking about to be honest. The Exodar is a zone in Azeroth, not on Draenor. I've read "Rise of the Horde" and they never mention anything about an Exodar on Draenor, and there certainly weren't any blood elves there. Blood elves didn't come to Draenor until after the Dark Portal was re-opened by Illidan during WC3.

Are you possibly getting blood elves and orcs confused here? Orcs are the only race who ever attacked Shattrath, afaik.

You've definitely got your facts wrong here.

The Exodar is the enchanted capital city of the draenei who chose to depart from Draenor. Formerly a dimensional ship satellite structure of the dimensional fortress known as Tempest Keep, it recently crashed on Azeroth. It is located in the westernmost part of Azuremyst Isle. The faction associated with the city, Exodar, is named after the ship itself.

And I know this about the blood elves. The blood elves of Azeroth joined the Horde in the Burning Crusade expansion, seeking to reunite with Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider in Outland. This part you were correct on. I don't know why you basically retyped what I had already pretty much said.

And Illidan did not open the dark portal. The dark portal was created and opened by a joint effort between Medivh, possessed by the Dark Titan Sargeras, and the warlocks of the Shadow Council, which allowed the Horde to invade the world of Azeroth. The shadow council was also controlled by Gul'dan who was also the true creator of the death knight.

And when the Burning Legion turned the orcs against the draenei , the fiercest battle was fought in Shattrath. The draenei fought tooth and nail, but in the end the city fell. They were turned by drinking from the blood of Mannoroth the Destructor.

I'm sorry you've been misinformed, but this is the actual lore pertaining to the time line I'm working in. Still more specifically I'm just really wondering about my only question... Were there any Draenei that stayed behind after Velen led other Draenei to Azeroth in the exodar?

And please. Next time please do not start your post with "Um". It just makes whatever else you post just seem so cynical.

To confirm, you're asking if Draenei stayed behind in Shattrath when Velen(sp?) and others took off in the Exodar?

I'm fairly sure many(the Aldor, for instance) did.

Read your first post again. You said Exodar was on Draenor. I said it was on Azeroth. I am very well aware of what Exodar is and where it is. Okay, except for the part of it being part of Tempest Keep originally. Where did you learn that? If the Blood Elves didn't go to Draenor until after Illidan got there, and the Draenei took Exodar to Azeroth after Shattrath was sacked, how is that even possible? AFAIK, Kael was the one who built Tempest Keep, was he not? I know Exodar crashed on Azeroth several decades after the sacking of Shattrath, but I always figured it took so long because they were in a space ship, not traveling through the portal. The time lines of what you're describing there don't make sense.

Also, I never said Illidan opened the Dark Portal. I know who Medivh is and all that good stuff. I also know that Kadgar closed the DP. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure Illidan re-opened it after he took the skull of Guldan and became demonic.

As per to your re-worded question that actually makes sense, I'm not really sure. Try looking up Shattrath or Velen up on Wowpedia. That site might be able to tell you.

Generally speaking, it's not polite to tell other people how to or not to post. I'll post any damn way I want to, thank you very much.

The mighty Tempest Keep was created by the enigmatic Naaru, sapient beings of pure energy and the sworn enemies of the Burning Legion. As a base of operations for the Naaru, the structure itself possesses the technology to teleport through alternate dimensions, traveling from one location to another in the blink of an eye.

With Outland serving as the strategic battlefront in the ongoing Burning Crusade, the Naaru used Tempest Keep to reach the shattered land. However, when the Naaru set out from their stronghold, Prince Kael'thas and his blood elves quickly raided the dimensional fortress and assumed control over its satellite structures. Guided by some unknown purpose, Kael’thas manipulates the keep’s otherworldly technologies, using them to harness the chaotic energies of the Netherstorm itself.

Though Kael’thas and his minions maintain a tight hold on the keep, a band of Draenei hijacked one of its satellite structures, the Exodar, and used it to escape Outland. In seeking out other worlds, the Draenei, led by the ancient prophet, Velen, hoped to find allies who would stand with them against the Legion and its nihilistic Crusade. The Exodar was damaged in the escape, and eventually crashlanded on Azeroth.

Ah, thank you Pold. That makes much more sense.

...The Aldor. Herp derp hurr hurr... Yet again my brain fails me in remembering the answer I was looking for even though it's quite an obvious one. Thank you very much, Poldaran.
