WoW Lore Quizzes!

WoW’s 15th anniversary marks many things, including the return of Historian Ju’pa and his trivia questions.

Seeing him again made me decide to start a thread for our own trivia questions. The rules are simple: answer the question above, then post your own! Multiple choice, true or false, fill-in-the-blank, whatever is fine! You can use Wikis to help form your question, but not to answer others!

The dwarf who engineered the Loch Modan dam was what clan?

Dark Iron! It was Franclorn Forgewright.

What war did the worgen curse originate in?

The Worgen Curse originated during the Scourge War, shortly after Lordaeron’s fall as a way to combat the Scourge. The curse broke out when some of the surviving warriors were infected and fled behind the wall.

This is a quest question: But why did Thrall want to capture Moira Bronzebeard from Thassurian in Blackrock Depths during Classic’s timeline?

The correct answer is actually the “War of the Satyr,” in which night elf druids developed the Pack Form to combat the satyrs, which many druids succumbed to and became the first worgen.

As for your question, he wanted to help the Bronzebeards to ensure good relationships with the Alliance.

On the topic of Pandaria, the pandaren allowed for one statue of a mogu emperor (Emperor Tsao) to stand after the tyrants had been overthrown. Why was this emperor honored so by the pandaren?

A) He reformed slave laws, granting them more freedom
B) He abandoned the empire and sided with the rebellion
C) He constructed the Serpent’s Spine, defending the land from the mantid
D) He used titan magic to shape the land, making it lush and fertile

It’s A. He allowed them to develop literacy and education.

Question: What is the name of the Forsaken quest giver in pre-Cataclysm Tirisfal who freed themselves from the Lich King’s control?

It is Gunther Arcanus (If I remember his last name well enough.)

On the subject of Forsaken:
Why were Shadow Priests and Warlocks so important to the Forsaken as a people when dealing with the Scourge? (This is an RP question, so I hope that counts!)

I could give two key reasons for this.

  • The Light had abandoned them. The old rules, the old morality had failed them. To truly get revenge, it seemed only prudent to embrace the shadows, to use darkness to destroy the force that took everything from the Forsaken of Lordaeron.

  • Because of what they had become, undead, prompted by the machinations of the Burning Legion, it made sense for the Forsaken to use the powers that now came to them more naturally. The fel and the shadow taught to them by their oppressors, from whom they had broken free. These powers still had relevance and purpose - why not master them?

Anyway, my question:

After the Light supposedly granted a new blessing to the Scarlet Onslaught, who trained and instructed the Onslaught Raven Priests?

  1. Admiral Barean Westwind
  2. High Abbot Landgren
  3. Grand Inquisitor Isillien
  4. High Inquisitor Sally Whitemane

Pretty sure it was Landgren. Correct me if I am wrong!

My Question:
Other than the Bleeding Hollow, name a Orcish clan who originated in Tanaan?

  1. Laughing Skull
  2. Thunderlord
  3. Bonechewer
  4. Flowerpicker

I’m going to say… Bonechewer!

As for my question:

True or False: When Arthas pursued Mal’Ganis to Northrend, three of his closest friends and advisors joined him. Luc Valonforth, Falric, and Marwyn. After Arthas took up Frostmourne and murdered his army, these three were raised as his first death knights.

I’m going to guess true. If it’s false, then I don’t know which part of it is, I hope you’ll inform me.

Here’s mine, and it’s a fill-in-the-blank:

Tolliver Houndstooth tasks the player character with killing Karga Rageroar. The worgen holds a strong grudge against the orc for killing his brother and ____________.

Wearing his skinned fur as a helm.

My question is!

How many Mak’gorahs has Garrosh taken part in?

Three. One versus Thrall at the beginning of the Scourge invasion, one versus Cairne in the prelude to Cataclysm, and a second one versus Thrall in Nagrand.

Which loa does High Prophet Gal’darah draw his power from in Gun’drak?

A) Rhunok, the Bear
B) Mam’toth, the Mammoth
C) Sseratus, the Snake
D) Akali, the Rhino

I’m going to say Rhino? I think that is the boss in the dungeon with the archive where you have to each take a charge. Now here is a Pandaren question!

How often is the Trial of the Red Blossoms held?
A) Every 4 seasons
B) Every 7 seasons
C) Every 8 seasons
D) Every 11 seasons

It was actually false. Luc Valonforth never died. We still don’t know where he is, as he disappeared after the Arthas went on his murdering spree.

For the question above, my answer is: B, seven seasons. Which is a guess because I have no idea, I just like the number 7 and it feels right.

My question: When Kel’Thuzad was first researching necromancy, what was he experimenting on to raise into undeath?
