I would like to see more on Eonar honestly, hopefully next expansion we see that.
Actually I am the symbol of all the paladins
Salute the spagoot!
And then there’s Hearthstone lore that made a totally new Titan to represent Paladins. But that part of lore probably won’t get added to our existing Titan lore.
There are some upcoming lore bits about Eonar’s intertwining with the Life side of things and Aman’Thul being kind of ticked about it. So it sounds like we might be getting some more insight into how that works.
Hearthstone has added concepts like the Tortollians and recent star members of the explorer’s league. Has also made the design of the goblin ancestor.

Is no one going to mention the actual real-world mythology of Tyr?
Okay, because I will!
Tyr is a god of many concepts including justice (who probably predated Odin and was semi-replaced in his functions). His weapon, like Odin, is the spear. The T rune refers both to this spear, in fact it looks like a spear point, and also his name. His most notable accomplishment is that he successfully bound the Fenris Wolf, in revenge the wolf bit off his hand. Interestingly enough, he is fated to fight yet another deadly canine at Ragnarok. Garm, the Hound of Hel (rather like a Norse Cerberus but with just one head), will be Tyr’s opponent and they will mutually annihilate each other at the Twilight of the Gods.
Sorry, I’ve always been a huge nerd for real-world lore. It’s one of the reasons I can’t take warcraft lore too seriously, I can see for the most part where it’s all coming from and I prefer the actual to the retread.
Honestly just hate Tyr and his connection to Paladins at all.
Why would praising a robot make you a paladin.
At least Zandalari praising a loa to be their holy warrior makes sense
Less what he is and more what he stands for.
Yep, the Titan Keepers are quite powerful. Freya created the Emerald Dream, not Eonar.
gnome paladins when?
Him putting stuff in the water to force the living creatures on this planet to be more acceptable of his masters is hardly justice
He stands for colonization and native erasure, dudes basically Christopher Colombus
Do they know that yet? I dont think they do
The cosmology chart was moderately okay in Chronicles but the new ones they’ve been doing, hinting and ‘expanding’ is just making things a nightmare, or an eyeroll at this point.
I liked when the Titans weren’t so super-focussed on ‘Order’ even zealously so, but more-or-less just immense Godly powerful beings who each represented a different focussed theme for the most part, along with bringing balance & order for the greater good.
May STILL be such, from reading the story book found next patch with Eonar & Aman’Thul where she planted a world tree – he had a dummy spit & tore it out from the planet like he did the old god, claiming it was chaos. The book except is called —
The Legend of Elun’Ahir
– Seeking to bring hope and healing, our patron titan, Eonar, carried a gift given to her by Elune–a branch of G’Hanir, the mother world tree.
The titan believed that the influence of Life would drive the darkness away.
So she reached down her hand and shaped the soil of Azeroth, planting the branch where it could be fed by river and sky.
- The branch swiftly grew into a tree, its roots extending deep, deep below the surface. Eonar smiled, for everywhere the roots stretched, new life emerged.
She called the tree Elun’Ahir, in honor of her great love.
When Aman’Thul saw what Eonar had done, he chided her. “This is not Order!” he bellowed. “You have infected this world with uncontrolled chaos!”
The Highfather took hold of the world tree’s trunk and tore it from the earth.
– Eonar wept bitter tears that rained down upon the resulting crater.
But as she peered down upon the sundered earth, the titan realized a truth she did not share with the Highfather. Though he had destroyed the tree, its winding roots still held firm beneath the soil, hidden from Aman’ Thul’s gaze.
- As the forces of the titans waged war against the Black Empire, Eonar bid her keeper, Freya, to watch over the crater and nurture the life that blossomed there.
Below ground, the roots fed upon the tears of Eonar and grew strong.
The war was long, but in the end, the titans claimed victory, And Eonar was pleased. knowing Elune’s legacy would endure.
– It is said that much later, as the world entered a new age, mysterious guardians arrived who dedicated their lives to protecting the roots.
You’d think that the titans:
- Golganneth - ‘The Thunderer, Lord of the Skies and the Roaring Oceans’
- Khaz’goroth - ‘The Shaper of earth & mountains, and Forger of Worlds’
Along with –
- Aggramar - The one who swept his colossal hand over the world and wove its fire, air, earth, and water energies into a massive elemental storm as channeled the roaring tempest into Draenor’s largest mountain, sending the energies blasting through the crust and causing shockwaves of force to echo around the globe. The mountain itself groaned to life and rose up on two colossal legs. Aggramar named his creation Grond, and he would serve as the titan warrior’s hand on Draenor to save it from the diverse yet carnivorous & gluttonous plant-life that would’ve wiped out all life along with the elemental spirits on the world.
You’d think these three having deep-ties to the elements (Primarily the first two) would’ve been opposed to the twisting of ALL the proto-dragons elemental nature, not just handfuls of them – thus committing a genocide of sorts (THAT part, probably wouldn’t had sat well with Aggramar’s sense of honour).
I feel many (yet not all) of the titan keepers, especially Odyn who considered them mere beasts – carried a lot of prejudice against those who weren’t crafted from their order. This could be written as being a personality-infused or warning implemented by Aman’Thul to them as they were set out upon Azeroth.
So the titans being hardcore simps for order might’ve just been under the rule of Aman’Thul, and they could all each hold a high regard for order & balance — Yet still hold high reverence for each of their respective callings & inner-nature, whether it be: Elemental, Arcane, death, other magics, mysticism or even life.
I didn’t think it was possible to make a goblin look cute.
That’s actually been retconned. Now, the Emerald Dream is a part of the Realm of Life that the Titans merely stumbled upon when they came to Azeroth. What we’ve been exposed to over the years is merely a small portion of the Emerald Dream that has been ordered by the Titans. There’s new text in 10.2 that says the further you travel in the Dream, the further away you get from the Titan’s influence and the more alien the Dream becomes.
Good lord. There needs to be some sort of summit to get thos whole thing in order. Ironically.
I didn’t think it was possible to make a goblin look cute…
That’s easy when compared to Hobgoblins, Gilgoblins, and Pygmies.

This is why I hate the rewrites so much. “Emerald Dream is just the plane of cosmic LIIIIIIFFFFEEEE” is the most boring of all possible worlds.
Way cooler for the Emerald Dream to be a magical Matrix template for the ordering of Azeroth, contained as a data construct in the liquid Azerite flowing through the roots of the Great/World Trees that encircle the globe and create the leylines like a giant subterranean tree computer (with a nightmare virus)
Furthermore instead of being a Blueprint of Azeroth it’s a Blueprint of all Worlds including both the Realms of Life(due to touching upon them as the Lore Book of the Emerald Dream Zone) and the Shadowlands(as shown by Ardenweald being called a Mirror of the Emerald Dream).
The Blueprint has every World on an endless plain. There are no planets in the Emerald Dream.
The Spirit-empowered Blueprint isn’t the only endless plain in existence as the Veil(formerly called the Shadowlands before the Realms of Death were discovered) is also an endless plain containing a mirror of all Worlds themselves and is a nightmarish labyrinth of Decay.
