I would like for everybody to pick something from WoW, and absolutely butcher and lie about it’s origin. Example:
The Kul’tirans are the descendants of Ogres who settled down and mated with human partners after the end of the Second war. The offspring of these unions were seen as abominations and banished to an uninhabited island. The new settlers named this island after the Ogre word for island (Kul) and the human word for half-breed. (Tiras)
The undead are descended from draenei that forgot to eat. Their bones are showing because they’re hungry/skinny, and as such don’t “have meat on their bones.” sylvanas is an elf who loved the undead so much she became one, and arthas was the first undead to figure out that you can eat popsicles.
All souls go to the shadowlands and are taken in by a covenant, but human necromancers can drag them out of the covenant even after their souls were reforged. Also all souls are currently going into the maw and no soul has ever escaped the maw, but new undead can have their souls pulled from the maw.
Orcs first arrived on Azeroth piloting pyramids, landing several in Zandalar and Kalimdor. Inside were massive grain storage facilities and science experiments where the noble and intelligent orcs created humans for their education. Unfortunately, the humans broke free and stole most of the orcish intellect, and they are now forced to rampage the world without.
Humans are descended from trolls who mated with dwarves and were exiled for not being short enough and having a long enough beard or being to tall and not having tusks.
Enraged the first human king named himself trollbane and began a bloody campaign to collect all the tusks.
No wait I got it. Derek Proudmore died from being incinerated by dragon’s fire and then his corpse spent 30 years at the bottom of the great sea. Yet he can be raised like a fresh and fully intact corpse and even though his sister was only 5 when they last saw each other they recognize each other instantly and act like they had this deep and meaningful relationship!
Creation was going good until Aggramar’s cat Sparkles McMuffins knocked over Sargeras’ coffee, spilling the hot liquid on his crotch. Rising up quickly, Sargeras accidentally caught his morality switch on the chair he was sitting in, flipping it from “Good” to “Evil”. As a result of this unexpected yet glaringly obvious flaw in the Titanic creation, Sargeras quickly dropped to the ground, proceeding to lick all the lint off the office room floor. From this licked lint he would fashion his “Brazen Legion” to pester upper management about their choice in reassigning cleaning duties from M.O.T.H.E.R. to Ra-Den, who summarily proceeded to enter a despondent malaise, forcing the Titans to reconsider the placement of the Old Gods within the core of Azeroth, as it was, to quote Golganeth’s own words, “Hella sick joke yo.”
Meanwhile, at this exact same moment, the sun bathed empire of the Troll Kingdoms, experiencing their 10 thousandth millenia of Peace and Prosperity, would have it all come undone when one Troll scientist realized the placement in their calculations for universal peace was off by one decimal point, sending Azeroth into an endless Tree filled nightmare from which the Night Elves escaped the Emerald Night to blight the land with their earthy goodness.
N’zoth never was imprisoned or anything , he conquered azeroth aeons ago and we’re just all living inside his plaything fighting his “character” . What we defeated was simply his avatar , the true horror still lies ahead …
As Master Chief blew up Outland, Alleria and Turalyon stood at the memorial of the fallen soldiers in the first and second war. They promised to honor his memory as they wipe out the remaining gnomes on Azeroth.
When Mekkatorque heard of Chief’s disappearance, he took the opportunity to launch a second offensive against the Night Elves. During the battle on the slopes of Mt Doom, the gnomes snuck into the Well of Eternity to throw penny after penny into the abyss, until it was clogged and flooded the world.
Present day Azeroth, Illidan awaits on top of icecrown citadel for his next move.
