I’m so terrible with the lore, but I want to make my RP profile decently accurate.
If my Void Elf is 100 years old, where the heck could he have been born? I’m having a hard time finding a definitive timeline of Azerothian history within the context of the game.
How long ago did Silvermoon fall to the scourge? Things like that. Anyone have any sources?
Thanks!
I cannot post links, but if you Google WoW timeline, wowpedia did a good timeline within the context of the games.
That was super helpful! Already found exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Third War was a bit over 10 years ago.
any of the human kingdoms, any of the high/blood elf lands including the ones destroyed by the scourge.
Basically anywhere in the eastern kingdoms with a small handful of exceptions
at this point ~20 years at most maybe?
100 years is well before any events covered by the RTS games.
Cripe…I might have this character as older than she actually is then lol She was 17 during the fall of Lordaeron (she was born in Brill), so since Jaina is 34/35 I figured Mardri here would be 33/34, but would she actually be late twenties instead?
Well, I’m not sure of the exact time.
What I do recall is an NPC in Hyjal mentioning the Third War being 10 years ago (this was in Cata, mind you). Then it’s a question of how many years each expansion is. Thing is it can’t be two years every expansion because I think Anduin is only 18 now, and he would’ve been close to fifteen at the time of Cataclysm.
I know for sure that Night Elf DK’s were teenagers or young adults when they died, because apparently they were babies in Darnassus. That’s all I know for sure.
Gotta love that DK starter zone dialogue. “X! Don’t you remember me? We played together as children in Y!” X being the player character name, and Y being their starter zone. So humans had Elwynn, and Night Elves had Teldrassil of all places, which didn’t even exist until after the Third War.
Yes, and Draenei characters are perhaps older than almost everybody else they interact with, assuming they remember being on Argus.
11 years have passed since the fall of Silvermoon to Battle for Azeroth.
Silvermoon. Eversong.
Do we know how much time between fall of Lordaeron and Silvermoon? Weeks/months? (not sure how much time passed from Arthas murdering Terenas/razing Lordaeron and then marching the army northward into Quel’thalas).
