A topic to discuss lore things in WoD! Be it our draenei and how they are relevant to the WoD AU, or the AU draenei and things about them. Because from what I have gleaned questing, there are some interesting things. I will post more after work! |

First question: How long have WoD draenei been on Draenor for? It seems a real short time. I think I figured it at 300 years from various quests but I'm not sure. Anyone else worked it out? |

Twitterlore says 200, as does the book Rise of the Horde, but other quests say 300, and of course the old quest in Auchindoun says 1000. Add to that, a bit of conflicting information in regards to the Arakkoa - The Apexis Arakkoa are both said to have existed before the Draenei arrived, but their machines, the Apexis Golems, are said to be inspired by the Draenei Vigilant golems. Typically, Blizzard can't keep its own lore consistent even within a single expansion. 200-to-300 years is the currently accepted one, but it doesn't matter that much if it's 2 or 3. |

All this WoDness is making me consider giving some retcons to Azaya. Specifically in regards to her age and place of birth. Yrel's own background (which is oddly similar to Azaya's anyway - kinda creepy) says she's Draenor born. So, you have a 200-300 year-old draenei Exarch. She stands alongside Exarch who are obviously older - the Artificer guy implies he was around on Argus. Point being, I suppose, is that it isn't ludicrous for 'young' draenei to achieve lots. And when put in to perspective, Azaya as she is has kind of achieved... nothing. So I'm considering younger-ing her, and making her Draenor born also. I think it'd fit in a little better with the somewhat cloistered and naive personality she has. |
