** Ewww. No. I like LotR, and I like Warcraft, but they don't really go that well together.
** I stopped reading after "The Blues Succeed". Because they don't. Malygos is dead. The Nexus War has ended.

** Actually, despite the "tauren rogue" being a running joke, it's been stated that draenei and tauren are ill-suited—both by character and by ''physiology''—to subterfuge. [[Square Race Round Class|Hence the link]].
** There even exists a Dwarf mage NPC, a relic from the times when Dwarves could be Mages in the beta.
** There's also a boatload of Blood Elf NPCs that are suitably Warrior-like (And aren't Blood Knights/Paladins). Guess which is the ''only'' playable race in the game '''not''' to have Warrior as a class option? Playable race/class combinations are limited for balance (I know, bear with me on this...) reasons, but that doesn't mean that races in "real life" aren't restricted to class options. If a Gnome was suitably faithful in the Light, she could be a Paladin or Priest. If a Tauren trained suitably in the arts of espionage, he could be a [[Highly

*** Race/class restrictions are shifting even for player characters. Dwarf magi, blood elf warriors, and gnome priests will all be added in ''Cataclysm''.
**** Orc Mages being warlocks exercising restraint, Dwarf Magi and Shamans already existed (though not playable), just like Blood Elf Warriors and Gnome Priests (remember those medics in Gnomeregan? Spamming heal all day long).
'''== Tirion Fordring did a [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|nice job breaking it]] when he {{spoiler|destroyed Arthas' heart}} =='''
Everyone in the game thinks that Arthas is the Lich King. However, unbeknownst to them but beknownst to us, the current Lich King is actually a fusion of Arthas Menethil and Ner'zhul, the original Lich King. Arthas' heart contained the last remnants of his humanity and when Tirion destroyed it thinking that Arthas was beyond redemption, all hope of separating Arthas from the Lich King and redeeming him was lost instead.
* Tirion only 'checked' the heart from what I've read and seen and confirmed that Arthas is not in there anymore. Now, you know that little blonde human boy spirit that guides you through that quest line? Matthias Lehner? He knows an AWFUL LOT about Arthas and his actions. Besides, what is a childs ghost doing there? Now, shake the letters around a bit. That name is an Anagram of Arthas Menethil. So my guess is: the 'real' Arthas was never present in the ripped out heart ever since he merged with the Lich King but manifested outside in Spirit form to help people fight against his body that is under Ner'Zhuls control (Ner says in an early Alliance Fjord Quest if you go too near to him (it isn't requited to complete the Quest) that you wheere brought here through shaman powers... and that he was shaman too) and to redeem his mistakes, so Tirion 'breaking' the heart didn't have any actual effect lest it'd be needed to rejoin the body with the true soul, but who would believe that story anyways? He'd be hated by most of the people because redemption isn't accepted by most, see the attitude towards the Horde by many veteran alliance soldiers that can't accept that they were mind controled by the true legion.
Line 246:
It was deliberately created to allow for scientific study of how people would react to an epidemic.
* I rather doubt that persons with a highly contagious disease would go to cities and sneeze all over what are essentially children, in terms of strength and power.
* That is actually pretty much correct- didn't get the details exactly right, but that's amazingly accurate: [
During some time in the Starcraft timeline, the Protoss were slaughtered, and remained an assistant faction for either Terran or Zerg. The Zerg continually assimilated the remaining races in the galaxy and after gaining some insight on Protoss psionics, freed themselves from the bondage of [[Organic Technology]] and became a more organized [[Hive Mind]], the Burning Legion. Meanwhile, the Terrans tried to deliberately fuse acquired Protoss psionics on a group of Ghost children, which would later become the Elves. The Elves escaped from the laboratories and destroyed any surviving Terrans in the laboratory, which they called the "Well of Eternity". There are also some Terrans who were trapped in Azeroth. Any other species in Azeroth are in fact experiments made by either Terrans, Protoss or the Xel'Naga.
* This was at one point semi-canonical. The original Silithid before 1.4 revamped them were the Zerg, and the Qiraji were the Zerg-Protoss Hybrids.
Line 257:
This may sound like a really out-there theory, but think about it. What does exposure to saronite do, considering it's the hardened blood of an Old God? It causes aggression; the unwavering desire to fight and kill. Something Garrosh's no stranger to. And seeing as Garrosh loves to fight- when he gets the opportunity- it's possible that on a battlefield somewhere, a saronite arrow or blade got stuck in Garrosh's skull. He had the wound healed and taken care of discreetly so as not to look 'weak', but the healer could have made a mistake, as this IS a medieval-ish setting, and the wound never fully healed. Maybe a piece of saronite got stuck in his skull, and that much exposure to saronite on a regular basis is literally warping Garrosh's brain and actions. It explains everything.*
* He was like that before [[Wo TLK]].
** Was he now? Way I remember it, the Garrosh of TBC wasn't frothing at the mouth. He didn't really get aggressive before the
*** I think it's referring to the event that, around the time the Horde sets out for Northrend, an impatient Garrosh gets into an argument with Thrall and challenges him to a duel, which is the start of his more aggressive WOTLK personality and happened prior to him reaching Northrend.
