You know what I hate? Draenor and Rise of the Horde lore.
In one place it says that orcs were corrupted after massacre of the draenei, another says that they were corrupted shortly prior to the opening of the the Dark Portal and others say that they were corrupted before draenei were massacred! Its so confusing, not to mension Draenor geography and lore.
But orcs corruption... argh!

Well I just understood that orcs were corrupted after the massacre. Durotan was one of the most important figures of massacre, and after Ner'zhul was replaced by Gul'dan he warned Durotan that Gul'dan wants to corrupt orcs with demon blood!

Dudes, I was just imagining stuff and somehow ended up with an awesome storyline for a campaign which explains why there are no Barrow Deeps or furbolgs that were in them in WoW! It explains very much including why is there only one uncorrupted furbolg tribe on Kalimdor right now, why arent there polar furbolgs in Dragonblight, why did Barrow Deeps disappear, where does corruption of Northern Kalimdor really come from, why pandaren have completely disappeared from Azeroth in the last years and much, much more.

I waited for someone to ask ^^

The story begins in the Barrow Deeps... a small part of it actually. This is the territory where the tribe aided by Tyrande and some other tribes have found shelter. Though they found a home the caves become more and more dangerous each passing day - many furbolgs strangely gotten insane, strange creatures appear in the caves. The chieftain of the tribe desides to find a few other tribes and flee from the relative safety of the Barrow Deeps. However as they proceed to the exit they see demons, undead and corrupted furbolgs. They fight through hoping that this is just an invasion and the forces outside arent this wast. But as they approach the entrance they meet four pandaren, who introduce themselves as being an expedition from Pandaren Empire, sent to investigate the fate of these lands, Biggest Panda Ever and their brothers furbolgs. The pandaren forbid furbolgs to exit the caves and join them as advisors to creating peace.

They understand that the Barrow Dends and citadel of the Watchers are the only places where they could live safe. As they approach the entrance they meet former prisoners, undead and corrupted beasts. They decide to go to the Barrow Deeps. They find out that the caves which could become a safe place for furbolgs to live in have collapsed and become corrupted. They rescue some of the druids that havent awakened at the call of Furion. However only one has awakened fully, the others lost their night elven half and became powerful, druidic beats that joined the furbolgs.
The furbolgs storm the Watchers' Citadel and find a small pocket of resistance from the real Watchers. The Citadel though mostly collapsed and ruined was still good to live, safe and a good place for furblogs. They helped the Watchers and druid get to the exit from the caves.

However no one knew what was the source of the dark power that corrupted the caves.

The furbolgs estblished a fortress in the citadel and finally were safe, however darkness began to advance. Horrible monstrosities came from the depths of the earth and furbolgs and their new allies are trying to defend from them. However soon more furbolgs begin to go insane. Pandaren know that polar furbolgs have knowldge with such problems. They seek an artifact that was once wielded by Biggest Panda Ever to open a portal to Northrend. There they find out that only one tribe has remained sane, the rest have been twisted. However the polar furbolg tribe doesnt want to leave. Pandaren want to find Beor'ren - a breed which has both pandaren and furbolg ancestors. They are the only was to negociate. After long searhc they find that only one survived, but is wise and strong.

Together they go to the tribe and find out why they cant leave - their sacred artifact Hearth of Flame was stolen by another furbolg tribe. After a lot of thinking furblogs see no other choise but to fight their way to it. After they've defeated the furblogs and retreaved the Hearth polar furbolgs agreed to help them. When they retunred polar furbolgs have helped the other furblogs to protect themselves from corruption and used the Hearth of Flame, not to keep themselves warm, but to protect the citadel.

However the source of the corruption was still unknown. The caverns became more and more dangerous each passing day. They've decided to go in the deeps and find out the source.
As they proceeded underground they found out that there is a safe tunnel with no signs of corruption, through which the mosntrosities came. Soon they started seeing ruined golems and mountain giants. Suddenly they entered a strange hallmade of stone and yellow crystals, that seemed to be part of a city. In the hall there were a few of those mosntrosities - faceless ones. The furbolgs proceeded and understood that this must be the Vault of Living Stone - one of the earthen cities. The earthen sealed themselves during the War of the Ancients, but sent a small force to aid the night elves and fought something undergound. However it seems that they were weakened by the war and were unable to defeat whatever they fought after it.

They never changed into dwarves because of that, and that is the reason of the lack of earthen on Kalimdor.
Exploring the city, furbolgs found out that some parts are still impact and protected by agressive golems. There are four obelisks in the city that are protected and are channeling powers. Two of them were diasbled by the facless ones. The furbolgs feeling the power that made them insane eminating from one of working obelisks defeated the guards, ignoring the bodies of faceless ones around and disable it. Suddenly a huge wave of that power is felt and many furbolgs die or go insane. The earth begins to shake and strange tentacles appear.

They understand that the city was actually a prison for some ancient powerfull evil and that during the Sundering its bindings were partially shattered letting him destroy everyone in the city except the obelisk guards. The Legion's invasion awakened it again, corrupting the caves and beginning to make his servants free him.Thge furbolgs quickly run through the city activating the obelisks, defeating the faceless ones. Many of them were becoming insane every passing minute. Suddenly the Beor'ren Sage unleashed a wave of great power and stopped the Old God for some time. They succedeed to destroy the fcaeless ones, secure the prison and redeem the city. The furbolgs understand why the earthen were gone, why many furbolgs were corrupted, why old Gods almost freed himself. Beor'ren and other leaders agree that furbolgs must forever remain in the Barrow Deeps and the Vault of Living Stone to protect the world from Old Gods and honor the deaths of the earthen.

The End.

Depending on the source, three, four, or five Old Gods lie imprisoned. Some of these sources seem to imply that these numbers were the limit to the number of Old Gods. The roleplaying game seems to imply that there were more than five Old Gods, including those imprisoned or killed.

there is no way to know how many there are in total, for now we can only speculate. until more lore gets released that is. for now it is sure that at least 5 old gods exist.

So.. I've come up with..
WC III Lore Quiz! First, you ask a question. If somebody answers the question correct, he may ask a question! If the question isn't answered after two days, someone else may ask a question. NO USE OF WOWWIKI.

I'll start.
