Avert all disasters

But you can never avert the dinosaurs.

That makes me uneasy. Sooner or later the orcs will screw something up. Its in their nature.

From the Warcraft Chronicles volume 1 book:

For generation after generation, life bloomed across the ordered world of Azeroth. Nowhere was this more evident than in the dense woodlands around the Well of Eternity. The fount of Azeroth’s arcane lifeblood accelerated the cycles of growth and rebirth. Before long, sentient beings evolved from the land’s primitive life-forms.

Among the first and most prolific were the trolls, a race of savage hunter-gatherers who flourished in Azeroth’s jungles and forests.

How much of this is still lore accurate and hasn’t been retconned? And if it’s still accurate, how much of the accelerated Troll evolution was influenced by the Well of Eternity?

Without the Well of Eternity, how much of Azeroth would still be in a relatively primeval state, with the only human-like intelligence existing among the Wild Gods, Titan Constructs, and Dragonkind?

If the original idea of just keeping life away from the Well of Eternity after the Trolls had evolved, that would probably be a colossal and potentially impossible task. Would you go there personally to do it? Then you’re probably going to become the first Elf, lol.
