Changes: Icemist tribe

Revision as of 04:19, 22 November 2008

This article contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

The icemist tauren were a group of tauren that lived in a single place in Northrend. At some point in the past, they colonized a small outpost in Dragonblight near the border of Lake Wintergrasp and called it Icemist Village. The tribe would not enter the blight proper very often. They preferred the cold of the lake to the bitter air of doom and death of the blight. The tauren were friendly and would supply food, drink, and clothes to those in need. They would help desperate and injured travelers they found out in the wilderness.

When Brann Bronzebeard visited the village several years ago, it was being ruled by the tauren Tundra Coldhoof.Template:Cite

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

In World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, it appears this group became the basis for the taunka.

It should be noted it is unclear when the "icemist tauren" first colonized Lake Wintergrasp. It may be possible they colonized the village as tauren, but later evolved into taunka. Its also possible that the Icemist tauren shared the village with the taunka merging into their clan between the time of Lands of Mystery and Wrath of the Lich King, or maybe the Icemist tauren, also refered to as winter tauren (the taunka are refered as winter tauren as well in several quests) were always Taunka, just refered to as different names. By the time of Wrath of the Lich King, the town has been destroyed and Tundra Coldhoof is nowhere to be found. It has a different chieftain, the taunka Roanauk Icemist.
