| − | '''Centaurs''' are a half-[[humanoid]], half-[[horse]], war-like tribal race. They abound in central and southern [[Kalimdor]], primarily in [[Desolace]] and the [[Barrens]], where they engage in constant war against other centaur and tauren tribes. Though rare, the woods of the [[Blasted Lands]] in the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] were once heavily populated with centaurs.{{Cite|WC3MP|}} They are savagery and brutality incarnate.{{fact}} |

||
| + | * The [[:Category:Things to do|'''things to do''' category]] has lots of things to keep you busy! |
||
| − | Centaurs originated from Cenarius and/or from his sons Zaetar and "[[the centaur]]". Five centaur clans in Kalimdor are the bastard offspring of [[Zaetar]] — a [[keeper of the grove]] and the eldest son of the demigod [[Cenarius]] — and an [[earth elemental]], Princess [[Theradras]]. They are therefore related to the keepers of the grove and the [[dryad]]s — through their Cenarion lineage — and the element of [[Earth]]. The centaurs, ever grateful creatures, slew their father in a bloodthirsty rage and their mother buried his remains in [[Maraudon]], which became a holy place for the centaurs. To this day, she stands guard over Zaetar's remains, holding his spirit prisoner. |

| − | [[Hatred of the Centaur]], a [[Tauren mythology|tauren myth]], tells how the early tauren were driven from their ancestral lands (presumably in [[Mulgore]]) and forced to wander [[the Barrens]] of [[Kalimdor]]. The tauren claim that the centaurs have always existed to scourge the land. |

||
| − | When the [[orc]]s first arrived in Kalimdor, they found the nomadic tauren under constant attack from the centaurs. Through the aid of the orcs, the tauren were finally able to reclaim their ancestral lands and live in peace once more. The conflict between the [[Horde]] and the centaurs continues, however, particularly in the Barrens. The members of the Horde hate them so intensely that they have taken to skinning their corpses and making rugs out of them. Such decorations are a common sight in cities such as [[Orgrimmar]] and [[Thunder Bluff]]. |

| − | The origin of the centaurs mentioned in the ''Warcraft III manual'' was likely originally referring to all centaurs. However, it is known that Zaetar fathered five [[Centaur (Kalimdor)|centaur]] tribes who now live in [[Southern Kalimdor]], as stated in the ''[[Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'' core rule book (though it also states Cenarius may have fathered some in the Barrens), ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', and ''[[Lands of Mystery]]''. Although, some of Cenarius' centaurs may have integrated into those clans. Cenarious has in fact, fathered at least one centaur according to legend, and may have fathered other centaurs as well. |

||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | While the five centaur tribes ([[Kolkar]], [[Magram]], [[Maraudine]], [[Gelkis]], and [[Galak]]) being fathered by Zaetar is explained by a separate legend, there appears to be some truth to this other legend. It is also implied that some of these children may have integrated into Zaetar's clans as well. It also explains the existence of other tribes found in the Eastern Kingdoms, the [[Stonetalon centaurs]], [[Centaur Marauders]], and the [[Krenka]]. For it is said that "the centaur" became the father of many tribes.{{Cite|HPG|209}} |

| + | I think that you already contradict yourself most than once and for unknown reasons changed your opinion about "{{NPC||Tandred}} deserves stay in the list", also ignoring [[Talk:Alliance#The_evil_of_wow-basing|my discuss]]. |
||
| − | A centaur appears as a creature with a horse's body and legs and with a humanoid's torso, arms, and head extending from the front part of where a horse neck and head would normally be placed. A full grown male centaur can stand over seven feet tall from hooves to head and weighs over a ton. [[Kalimdor]] centaurs can actually suffer the effects of undeath. |
||
| + | And now you are so sad because you may think that I don't discuss, or don't like do it or that I don't like you. |
||
| − | == Culture == |
||
| − | The nomadic centaur culture and the term "khan" have their roots in the cultures of the Turks and Mongols. Centaur villages resemble traditional Turkic and Mongol yurts. |
||
| + | A. I like discuss, but "B." and so I prefer use "believe me", unfortunately... |
||
| − | Each tribe of centaurs is lead by a [[khan]], who is generally a leader of above-average strength and intelligence. Some of the clans, if not all, practice cannibalism and will eat the flesh of other sapient races as well, such as the [[tauren]]. |
||
| + | B. I'm not fast to write a text, so I avoid stay minutes and minutes (maybe only this post more than one or two dozen) to write this. |
||

||
| + | I almost declared war officially in a moment of anger, but I could avoid be this conflicting or aggressive, thing that I'm not. We aren't really enemies, we were staying as rivals, but if we can understand each other I hope that over. I hope not been exaggerated in what I speak. |
||
| − | Centaurs follow a shamanistic faith, but their brand of shamanism is far different from the more gentle practices of the Horde. Curiously, most centaur shamans are female. |
||
| + | So, state what you have and start to discuss if really necessary... |
||
| − | Centaurs are savage and brutal, and they often take prisoners. These prisoners are usually eaten. However, rumors tell of centaurs dragging humanoids of all sorts off to become slaves, forcing them to work in hardscrabble opal mines. [[Opal]]s are used to make crude [[trinket]]s or are thrown into sacrificial offerings to the spirits. Young tauren have made something of a game out of this tradition, snatching away the centaur's offerings and leaving insulting totems in their place. They must be swift, lest they be caught by the centaur, who leave their gutted remains as a warning to others who would consider doing the same. |

||
| − | Each of the five tribes in Desolace had their own unique tribal color: black, brown, green, red, and yellow. Members used the colors to mark their weapons and their faces. These colors are literally the names of centaur tribes fathered by Zaetar, but likely refer to the five main centaur tribes (Kolkar, Magram, Maraudine, Gelkis, and Galak).

| − | Even though ''Manual of Monsters'' states that the centaurs in the book are the bastard sons of Cenarius,{{cite|MoM|21}} there is debate{{fact}} as to whether Eastern Kingdoms centaurs have a connection to the five tribes in Kalimdor — who are the offspring of Zaetar. Some believe they aren't related, and are in fact the offspring of "the centaur", the other son of Cenarius. Another explanation is that they may have been a group or groups of centaurs that splintered from the original five tribes and made it across ancient Kalimdor before the [[Sundering]], arriving in the present day Eastern Kingdoms. |

| − | === "The centaur" === |
||
| − | It may also be that the two legends are one in the same in which the son called "the centaur" may in fact be Zaetor. This would make since since "the centaur" and Zaetor share many things, such as there fall from grace due to jealousy. It would also explain why "the centaur"'s children were the same as Zaetor's, even though his were warped from what a keep of the grove should spawn because of the [[Earth Elemental]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, this would ignore most of the traits and history attributed to "the centaur". Zaetar appears to neither be a bastard nor have "the centaur"'s personality traits. H does not have the same hatred to his siblings as "the centaur". Zaetar was not cursed by his father either (stripped of his beauty to appear as current centaurs) nor did Zaetar swear a blood feud on all creatures of the world. |

| − | The [[wikipedia:centaur|centaurs]] (Greek: Κενταυροι) are fairly popular beings in Greek mythology, but myths pertaining to them directly are not plentiful. The handfuls of tales that survive relate the nature of a boisterous race of horse-men who care only for drinking and numerous other vices. They were the children of Nephele (a nymph formed out of clouds in the shape of Hera by Zeus). The lustful and devious Lapith king Ixion raped Nephele (thinking it was Hera), thus impregnating her. She promptly gave birth to a clan of horse-men (the Centaurs). Though there are sparse references to female Centaurs from antiquity, they only appear in later art and literature of other cultures. Despite the barbaric nature of centaurs in general, certain centaurs were renowned for their wisdom. Kheiron (Chiron), for example, was the teacher of some of the greatest of Greek heroes, including Achilles, Herakles, Jason, and Theseus. |

| − | Blizzard took a distinctly central Asian influence for their centaurs, borrowing cultural elements from peoples such as the [[wikipedia:Mongols|Mongols]]. Most notably, they are led by [[wikipedia:Khan|khans]] and live in [[wikipedia:Yurt|collapsible huts]]. |

Infoboxes
Just so you know so you don't go wild with the xpak icons... they will be removed, we're only using the 
to mark additions, to show they are to come. When Cataclysm goes live they are to be removed. (Sssss/Slithered) 06:06, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
Wikify
I'm going to ask you to please stop overly wikifing articles... I'm not exactly sure why you want to {{npc}} every name you come across, but please don't do the same names throughout the article 3-10 times. (Sssss/Slithered) 03:26, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
- And I don't know who you are, but I'm telling you to STOP overly wikifying articles, I don't care if you want to {{npc}} the names in the articles, but DON'T do it to the same name throughout the article several times over. I will not be going through your edits to fix YOUR overly wikifying ways, I will simply revert them, because you have yet to learn and you will not learn if I fix everything for you.
(Sssss/Slithered) 00:38, October 4, 2010 (UTC) - Gabrirt, let me explain something to you. The person you are arguing with is Coobra, an administrator at wowwiki for a long time now. If he tells you to stop, you stop. Period. End of story.--Sheffi (talk) 21:18, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
Your opinion is desired
Hey, we're pretty much settled on leaving Wikia, but I wanted to see if you had any input. Thanks. --Pcj (T•C) 02:32, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
Where is...
Your source for definitively completing Fenran's name as Fenran Thaurissan? You forgot to leave your reference.--Mondoblasto (talk) 05:20, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Refereces? err... Well, for me it is presumed... What argument you have to contradict it?? Moira was Bronzebeard... But now is Thaurissan. Both are affiliated within the Dark Iron clan, so why not? If you really think it's wrong go ahead... I will not stop you. (Gabrirt (talk) 18:44, 26 October 2010 (UTC))
- It's not my argument. Did you check the Discussion page for Fenran? "I will not (Edit war) you." Well that's certainly good to know. But indeed, that's why we have Discussion and Talk pages, so that doesn't happen in the first place.--Mondoblasto (talk) 05:33, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- The exact name is now moot, as the page has been updated by someone who saw the info the the latest novel. If you're going to be changing pages like that, the argument "Well, for me it is presumed" is not exactly... accurate information to add to an info wiki. If you want to add something like that, insert a {{Speculation}} tag first and then add your thoughts.--Mondoblasto (talk) 05:56, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Alliance & Horde Information Sidebars
The Alliance & Horde Sidebars are not to be messed with, i see you post unnecessary people in seconday leaders list and non capital cities in city list, please stop doing this to Alliance and Horde or i will have to get an admin involved, be smart, think about before posting and stop messing with them. Thank You --ArbiterX122591 (talk) 05:02 December 6th, 2010 (UTC)
- For me the valid and aceptable page was [[1]].
Can you explain better [monstrus "undo"] of my good works in the page Alliance? Stromgarde and the Wildhammer base isn't important (note: the alliance is more well based than the horde)? Vannddar (General Stormpike) isn't the leader of the stormpike guard? The Gilneans aren't Worgen-Human cursed? What you will say more?! Gilnean isn't a languague? Also the Qiraj serves the Pantheon to you? Reversing, and the next time don't just copy and paste and, please, do a more descent rewiew.(Gabrirt (talk) 19:15, 6 December 2010 (UTC))
First of all if you even played the beta, you would know the Worgen are actually Gilnean people who have been affected by the Curse and the people you put in the secondary leaders are not secondary leaders at all there not even that important, leave the post alone or the admins will end up blocking you from the page, cause we gotta keep cleaning the mess you make --ArbiterX122591 (talk) 21;48 December 6th, 2010 (UTC)
Ok Gabrirt, this is a warning about your editing warring... YOU best starting talking it out instead of pushing the article to how you see things without discussion. Don't know why the Horde and Alliance articles have to be so heavily disputed... (Sssss/Slithered) 22:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Opinion
I've been trying to get opinions from those that use {{NPC}} in articles, and so if you could please visit Forum:Abuse of Template:Npc on links and give us your opinion on the matter, that would be appreciated. Thank you, (Sssss/Slithered) 21:23, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Buckled under the onslaught
Buckle - to yield, surrender, or give way to another. Or to put it more simply, it means they got their asses kicked. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 01:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Infoboxes
It's been noted that you're removing line breaks from the last parameter on infoboxes and the }} such as on this article. Please don't do that. There's a reason that break is there, it's already been seen that other editors changing things end up breaking templates due to this (as they didn't see what they did or what have you). Thank you, (Sssss/Slithered) 03:35, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Uh?? I'm not removing the line that you talk.(Gabrirt (talk) 22:16, 20 April 2011 (UTC))
- Well, it doesn't just happen... certainly not happening with any other user.
- Recent pages you've done it to:
- And I know it's not automatic, cause you didn't do it to Valiance Keep or Valgardeon your latest edits. (Sssss/Slithered) 20:24, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Compirmise
Hey we need to make a compirmise for the Leaders, im actually tired always having to come on remove people who dont belong on there .. Response and hopefully we can work out things like Men and not Children. Thanks !! (ArbiterX122591 (talk)04:00, 21 April 2011 (UTC))
Eh?
- At first I was waiting you, Arbiter, to put the why you as removing every content that I put at first. I was anger as you as you just apparently undid various of my edits without checking every point. Eventually our persistence led us to several edit wars in various articles that can be worthy of an article only about it.
Anyone who review all historical alterations on Horde, Alliance and also Alliance-Horde War, and maybe in probably others, can see this and our comments. I believe that the one who REMOVE INFORMATION must start the discussion and say the whys of the removal(s), because the point of a encyclopedia is give information.
I think that you already contradict yourself most than once and for unknown reasons changed your opinion about "Tandred deserves stay in the list", also ignoring my discuss.
And now you are so sad because you may think that I don't discuss, or don't like do it or that I don't like you.
A. I like discuss, but "B." and so I prefer use "believe me", unfortunately... B. I'm not fast to write a text, so I avoid stay minutes and minutes (maybe only this post more than one or two dozen) to write this. C. In fact I don't like really you because of everything that I'm stating here, but it could easily change if the things turn to a right path.
I almost declared war officially in a moment of anger, but I could avoid be this conflicting or aggressive, thing that I'm not. We aren't really enemies, we were staying as rivals, but if we can understand each other I hope that over. I hope not been exaggerated in what I speak.
So, state what you have and start to discuss if really necessary...

- Thanks i'm still trying to improve it and i REALLY need to work on the prhasing, but thanks for starting the article--Ashbear160 (talk) 12:49, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
