Azotha
From WoWWiki
The Azotha were the ancestors of the humans. They apparently had some connection to the titans.[1]
History
Before the Great Sundering, the Azotha were in a war against the jungle trolls, calling warriors and spies to the fight.[2] They settled in places including what is now Stranglethorn Vale.[1] They then converted into humans before the Great Sundering.[2]
Notes
- The Arathi named the land of Azeroth as a whole in homage to their ancient ancestors.[3] This would mean that their ancestors were called "Azeroth" or something similar, as the Azotha fit perfectly they must have been the human ancestors.
- There is evidence of a connection between the titans and Azotha, ancient evidence which can be found in the Azotha ruins in Stranglethorn Vale.[1] With the release of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, the humans have been said to have evolved from the vrykul confirming these facts.[4]
- The Azotha may have been legendary for having gold, and this fact has made it into the modern dysphemism, "I'd give Azotha gold for a dull moment".[5]
- The Azotha civilization apparently extended to the Stranglethorn Vale, where Azotha ruins have been found, lost mosaics discovered, and evidence of the titans.[1]
- Aron Kodosbreath made a report that is shown in Lands of Conflict. One of the titles is "The Azotha revealed", but it is unknown if it means that they found evidence of the Azotha or if they found living Azotha.[1]
