LORE RELATED: I have been searching for info on how exactly Deathwing managed to escape deepholm but can;t find any info on it, his wowiki entry wasn't very helpful on the matter.

I am considering having players able to summon him in my map but don;t know how, can anyone help?

Isn't making money the goal of every one? How else are Blizzard supposed to make more games if they do not make any money?

Well yes that's basiclly the story. Deathwing was beaten up pretty bad by his siblings in Day of the Dragon which was released in February 2001 as a follow up on WarCraft II. Sadly he managed to escape into Deepholm where he hid in the Temple of Earth untill he had regained his full power.

And with the awakening of C'Thun and Yogg-Saron Deathwings powers grew beyond that of the other aspects. For when Deathwing had only his own powers he actually had no chanse against his older brother Malygos, who was described as the smartest and most powerfull of all aspects.

I see so his escape is tied to the rise of the old gods, thats better that gives me more to work with. I could have Deathwing being summoned at same time as old Gods.

But urrm, what exactly triggered the re-resurgence of he old gods the first place, they had been sleeping for thousands of years, any event in particular?

It's unclear what triggered these events too unfold considering that Yogg-Saron was awake when we reached Northrend and that he had already turned Hodir against his brethren he most likely have been awake for a few years.

It's important too mention that N'Zoth is also awake or rather most likely awake since he was behind the emerald nightmare and as Chris Metzen said when people asked about the third Old God in BlizzCon 2011. "You haven't seen who signs Deathwing's paychecks yet."

So as far as we know 2 and possibly even 3 old gods have been awakened at same decade and considering that their slumber last for several millenias it seems like sort of a big coinsidence and would I have too gues I would say that one of the Old Gods awoke in Vanilla WoW and awoke the others.

As far as we know C'Thun was the first too make his move but it is highly possible that either Yogg-Saron awoke before him and then started too awake the other Old Gods awaking C'Thun in Uldum and N'Zoth who sleept somewhere else we're not completly sure of.

It's even possible that N'Zoth was the one who awoke first considering that his minion Sintharia more known as Sinestra started to experimenting on twilight dragons in the book Night of the Dragon which was released prior too the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

But these are all theories so take non of them as canon lore. But you should know that the Old Gods are cunning and too me it seems like Yogg-Saron was the biggest threat if we're counting intelligence.

Hmm ok thats annoying I need a specific event that triggers them.

You see in my map, Lordaeron The Aftermath I'm creating a new faction, the Twilght Hammer clan led by Cho'Gall, there aim is to bring Deathwing and the old gods into the world but i am unsure how exactly they should do this.

I suppose I could just have them being able to summon old gods and death wing when Cho'Gall reaches level 10 but that seems abit boring to me, what do you think?

Well what if you mad Cho'Gall having too go around recruiting twilight hammer members and the ones he collect start a resurection of the old god Yogg-Saron while the enemy are trying to stop the ressurection making you have to play on both defense and offense too get more priests too speed up the process while you play on defense too protect you priests and if all the priests die the ressurection and your mission fails.

After the ressurection of one of the old gods have been completed say Yogg-Saron for example, an army of faceless ones swipes over the foe wipping them out from the area making you move on too another more well protected altar to revive C'Thun but this time you have faceless ones at your side.

After the ressurection of C'Thun the two old gods start to summon Deathwing and in this spell they will not be allowed too be disturbed on which the enemy force say for example the dragonmaw clan tries to finish you off while the old gods can do next too nothing too aid you, maybe call up a few tentacles or something. So your third mission being too fend off the enemy force protecting the old gods at any cost and in the end Deathwing's summoned and burn the enemy alive.

After these three missions you'll be sent to find and awaken N'Zoth since he's not dead he can not be ressurected.

18 and you really choose the most inappropriate places too ask questions this is a discussion of WarCraft lore if you want too ask me private question it's suggested that you contact me privately not on a forum that has nothing with the matter to do.

I just found it sad that you're so passionate about wc3 lore... which in fact is no more than a fairy tale.

Theres nothing "sad" about being passionate about something.

People obsess about Star Trek and LOTR, they're not real either. I suppose your so cool you think their "sad" too?

You do realize your on a website dedicated to WC right?
Is it such a surprise you'll find wc3 lore fans here?

Really hope your just trolling and not serious.


I was hoping the awakening of the old gods would be tied to some magical item, that would make a more interesting quest for the player to have to complete but I like your summoning idea. I will include a variation of it in my map.

Yogg Saron is my fav old god, I will try and include him in my map, tentacles rule lol. I think it would be too OP to have more than one old god in the map, imagine having to fight 3 old ones plus Deathwing :0

Thanks for your help with this :)

No problem just ask me if you ever want too know more.

And yes bringing Yogg-Saron is probably the best idea since he has the largest sound file of the three.

Well, passionate was the nicest way to put it...

I haven't heard him know about anything or have any sense anywhere else except in WoW. Yet he participates in discussions with his politically correct point of view in such a full and sure of himself manner, that it really shows how sad the situation is.

I generally find it sad when people seem to be interested only in 1 thing, and that thing is a fairy tale. Sure, they will have opinions about real life stuff, but those opinions too often seem to lack any real, solid, researched foundation. On the other hand they think they know more stuff than they actually do. And feel so prideful, and knowledgeable, and are so politically correct...

But in truth, these people are just politically correct about anything, just cause it's the 'right' way to think, and feel comfortable in that and just allow themselves the leisure of learning the lore of a fairy tale, in detriment of learning what real people did in this real world. To get to this point... for me it's sad.

You should say which statement it's that you find lacking scientific claim.

I'm going to assume that by political view you mean my statements that humans might not be the most intelligent race on this planet, which I did back up with science.

I admit that I'm not all knowing but I'm kind of cunning in biology.

Haven't mentioned anything related to science, that said, when it comes to life science isn't absolute.

By politically correct view I mean that you seem to believe in everything which is politically correct.

It doesn't really matter what you admit to verbally, the opposite is all over your statements.

I won't pursue this further as it servers no purpose, and I'm not interested in changing anyone's mind. Just an observation.
