One of the reasons gamers from all around the world have been playing World of Warcraft for nearly two decades now is the amazing plot. No matter how many years you have played this wonderful game, there will always be many interesting facts about the game that you might not know.
Many players, for example, do not know that it is possible to buy WoW gold more profitably using the services of boosting companies. In addition, such companies will help in leveling, passing dungeons and raids, and much more. Delegating complex activities in the game to professional players will save time and effort for game lovers.
And in this article, we want to tell you five interesting facts from World of Warcraft history that may surprise you.
Relationships between Varian Rinn and his son
Varian Rinn was a good father. He paid a lot of attention to his son and, according to Anduin himself, literally choked him with his care. Of course, Anduin was annoyed by the overprotection, but he understood that his father could not completely control himself. For example, in the novel “The Wolf’s Heart”, the events which unfolded after the Cataclysm, a situation is described in which Anduin expressed a desire to travel with Velen to strengthen his connection with the Light. Upon hearing this news, Varian became enraged, reminded Anduin of his mother’s death, and forbade him to leave Stormwind. The father grabbed his son so tightly that he almost broke his arm, but then quickly recovered and apologized for the sudden outburst of anger. Varian admitted that he would never have harmed Anduin while conscious, and his son understood everything and forgave his father. In the end, Anduin still decided to join Velen, and Varian, trying to hug his son goodbye, saw fear in his eyes – Anduin was afraid of getting into his father’s hot hand.
Prison for Maiev
As many of you probably know, in addition to Burning Crusade (one of the highest ranked addons on Metacritic) in World of Warcraft, Illidan managed to capture Maiev and imprison her, appointing demons as jailers. Day after day, Maiev was tortured – sometimes the jailers forgot to feed her, and sometimes they just poked her with spears for fun. In addition, Illidan put spells on Maiev’s cage that did not allow her to die of hunger and thirst. For example, if she refused water for two weeks, she felt thirsty, but she could not die of dehydration, and this forced her to eat or drink something.
Galakrond true nature
Many people know Galakrond as the progenitor of all dragons in World of Warcraft, but not everyone has heard about his true nature. Galacrond posed a real threat to the whole of Azeroth because he devoured other proto-dragons and became stronger day by day. To avoid a repeat of the situation, the Aspects had to lie to the other dragons and tell them that Galakrond was the first of its kind – the one created by the Titans themselves. Otherwise, they would want to follow his example and start eating each other to become bigger and stronger.
Attack on Quel’Thalas
We’ve all heard the story of the undead attack on Quel’Thalas. The Scourge has destroyed many worthy characters, and the scale of its impact on the world as a whole is amazing. Take for example the family of Verisa Windwing. Her sister Sylvanas Windrunner began to serve the Lich King, and her uncle had to kill his son when he became undead. Verisa’s younger brother died after being ambushed by the Scourge. The leader of the army was the elder brother, who also became undead and soon died for the second time, because the survivors of that ambush burned him along with the brainless skeletons to which he gave orders. The Scourge was a very powerful opponent – it not only destroyed entire families but also set up former friends and relatives against each other, as happened in the case of the Windwings.
And yes, the Windwing sisters had two brothers in World of Warcraft. You can read more about them in the War of the Ancients trilogy. However, by the will of the author, these characters remained nameless – probably that’s why almost no one knows about them.
Night Elves character
The culture of the night elves has changed a lot over time in WoW. Now they are quite tolerant of other races, but before they were terrible racists. They considered all outsiders to be nonentities – for example, in the “War of the Ancients”, the orc Broxigar tried to escort Elune to the temple, but the guard stopped him and informed him that “such creatures have no place in the holy land.” Of course, Tyrande defended the companion, saying that Elune accepts all her children, regardless of their race. As you know, Tyrande always achieves her goal, so then Broxigar managed to get into the temple.
World of Warcraft is a game that constantly amazes the imagination of its fans with incredibly realistic stories and an abundance of quality content.
