The Unofficial Saurok Playable Race Discussion Megathread! šŸŠ

Since Iā€™m at three posts in a row again, I wanted to open discussions on something I was inspired by the Sethrak megathreadā€™s recent discussion: A place for Saurok in Orgrimmar.

Now, assuming we get lucky enough to get playable Horde Saurok, itā€™s possible they could have their own location. However, I did look around Orgrimmar to see if there was a spot that could either function for where starting Saurok players would start or just an area that Horde Saurok could just hang out in general, such as a Saurok district of sorts.

Just for fun, I looked around Orgrimmar, specifically where bodies of water were. The area where the Vulpera, Magā€™har Orcs, and Pandaren are is getting a bit crowded, though. There also isnā€™t really much space where the Darkspear Trolls reside either. However! I did find a potential spot.

The waterfall area where the Tauren reside in the Valley of Wisdom:

The area is a bit small, but with some editing, it could work pretty well. Thereā€™s plenty of water to swim in and lots of fish to catch in this area.

Plus a rocks and places to place heat rocks for Saurok to lounge on and relax after a long day of adventuring. You may also notice in the bottom left of this image, something a bit odd. I took a closer look at it:

Iā€¦have no idea what this is. Itā€™s a partial skeleton of some race as if itā€™s some sort of sacrificial alter, though I canā€™t tell what the bowls are used for. There are no NPCā€™s around it, either. Iā€™m assuming this isnā€™t a coffin of some sort, in which case this could just be used for Saurok to butcher meat and fish. If someone knows what this is, please let me know. Itā€™s odd that this is in such a random place, and I donā€™t know if this was something the nearby Tauren use at all.

On the other side of the waterā€¦

We have some more rocks to lounge on, along withā€¦

A couple of trees. This one is above the water, and would make a great place for some Saurok to lounge on. Some RL lizards do climb trees to live there, so it wouldnā€™t be too out of place to see some Saurok there.

Looking at the dry area past the waterfall, there are a few spots for Saurok to set up shop, though the area is a bit small.

There is this forge thing that doesnā€™t have any NPCā€™s around nearby. If it isnā€™t really being used, the area could always be cleared to put some Saurok NPCā€™s or even a heatrock area for adventurers to come and just relax on. It could also be a place where Saurok forge some armor and weapons, be it bone related or otherwise.

And this building nearby has been under construction for several expansions. Iā€™m not sure what it was initially used for, but it could serve as a building for Saurok. Whether itā€™s a Saurok embassy or a shop to sell meat or other trade goods, Iā€™m sure it could be used for something. The only other building in the area is where the enchanting trainer is, and I donā€™t expect that to change.

Lastly, on the other sideā€¦

Is a good spot to have a BBQ! The Tauren reside closeby, and it was discussed earlier that Tauren and Saurok could become friendly rivals of sorts in hunting. They both could cook stuff here and share it with members of the Horde while having nearby benches to eat their meals.

So the area is a bit small, but I think itā€™s workable. If it became where starting Saurok spawn, there always could be caves created to act as dens and have more merchants, NPCā€™s, and such too.

As I mentioned, because Iā€™m three posts in a row again and could use a reply to continue posting here, Iā€™d like to hear what others think about this area. Is it too small or workable, in your opinion? :lizard:

More Saurok research to continue in the future! :meat_on_bone::crocodile:
