Why Are Dwarves Untouchable?

Loch Modan was totally destroyed, Menethil Harbor damaged and partially flooded.

And for a very long while It looked like Magni was dead and the Dwarves were on the brink of civil war.

I mean, no the dam was destroyed. The zone is still there doing pretty fine. Menethil Harbor was flooded but it’s also still there.

Look,

The man become a diamond, he was never dead. And the civil war ended up not happening,

The zone was massively changed… there used to be a large and pretty deep lake there. Now it’s almost all totally exposed lakebed.

But how does that harm the dwarves exactly? Yeah it looks ugly but the town and every thing is still there.

I understand you hating the things you can never have.

Success breeds envy.

If there ever is a raid on dwarven lands, one of the bosses needs to be an exuberant Dark Iron with a gauntlet encounter where he hits players with a Mole Machine while yelling stuff like this at the top of his lungs. (And possibly while drinking.)

Oh they’re not intimidating. And in fact they look like they’d have a lot of intramuscular fat so my Forsaken probably really love to eat them.

But yeah, probably the first race I’d party with, hands down. Let’s get blasted then blast some holes in a mountain. Sounds like a fun night.

Okay. Second raid boss would have to be a drunk mortar team.

I never understood Forsaken cannibalism tbh. Like, it seems like they just do it to do it because… you’re undead, do you really need to eat? Do you have a metabolism?

Eh, WoW has a done a decent of repair alot of thing it broke. I meam we we have Lion’s rest and the Vale of Eternal blossoms back.

Forsaken are not higher undead, so they need to eat to maintain their condition as they continue to rot.

My guess?

In game, it restores HP.

As per BtS… they may be cannibalizing in an utilitarian way.

Using fat to grease their knuckles. Bones to replaces bones. New jawbones. Stuff like that.

“I need smaller feet for these boots… I will just take the feet and boots.”

This makes the Forsaken a lot less of a super army than I thought…

Random observation: the Darkspear stopped practicing cannibalism after joining the Horde, because the Orcs and Tauren were like “naah, don’t do that”.

No one says anything about the Forsaken doing it, though.

Actually, they were Sorcerers, mages who channeled dark magic but not technically Warlocks. Arguably, Dark Iron were primarily Geomancers but turned to Warlocks later.

Coincidentally, most Warlocks were another class but found channeling demonic magics to be more advantageous, as opposed to Arcane/Nature/Elements/etc.
In fact, the first Warlocks were Orc Shamans first.

I mean Ironforge itself is insanely defensible if it was ever sieged as shown from warcraft 2. Moving armies through that mountain terrain with no way to feed an army would also make a sustaining siege very difficult.

Not to say it couldn’t be done if the Horde dedicated every last resource to do it but it would break them and there would defiantly be no chance if the rest of the Alliance was around to help.

You will not feel any of this, so no pain or anything.

No, but they are just as susceptible to being starved out as any other race, perhaps more so if their body parts literally fall off and rot away.

Yes. They can only heal from consuming the flesh of the living or other undead, naturally speaking. That’s how they regenerate. Also they crave it like cigarettes.

The lore reasoning is the Lich King made them like this. It’s also why Death Knights feed off humanoid suffering like the villains in Dr.Sleep. Their biology is magical and designed to be horrifying.

Is there a Troll reasoning for their behavior or did one day someone go

“F IT! I’M SICK OF TRYING TO HUNT DINOSAURS! WE’RE HAVING THE NEIGHBOR FOE DINNER!”

That is why they have flesh formers and things like that, they take care of this.
