Lords defeated long ago." |quest= The Master's Glaive}}</ref> or the '''Dread Elders''') are mysterious, godlike and greatly malefic horrors which ruled in tyranny over the infant [[Warcraft universe|universe]] before they were defeated and sequestered within the primordial world of [[Azeroth]] by the [[Titans|Titanic]] [[Pantheon]]. Only very few mortals have ever been aware of the Old Gods' existence. Fewer still considered them anything more than ominous myths from a time before time began; the rumor of a dread and ancient past that should forever stay forgotten to the mortal races.
+The continued presence of the shadowsworn in the Blasted Lands bring great pain to me. Their dark rituals and spells cause agony unlike any I felt while alive.
-==History==
-===The Ordering of Azeroth===
-None now remember how [[Azeroth]] came to be, yet legends persist that the [[Titan]]s traveled to the newly formed world--shaping the land and first seeding it with life. Beings as the [[Earthen]] were then created by the [[Pantheon]] to complete the mighty works the Titans had begun, and to prepare Azeroth for the time when it would give birth to the first mortal creatures. After the Titans had departed from Azeroth however, a great calamity befell the young world. From the endless void of the universe, unspeakable terrors known only as Old Gods came. The world buckled to its foundation under dire power unimaginable, and the [[Elemental spirit|elements]] were thrown into such great disorder that Azeroth degenerated back to a state of primordial chaos, atrophy and destruction; a world where no life could ever form or exist.
+Through you I can deliver my own message of pain. Go forth and deliver my wrath.
-The creations of the Titans too were subjugated by the Old Gods, becoming afflicted with the [[Curse of Flesh]]. The elements that comprised the world had become as the dark pawns of the Old Gods, and the Titans' creations had either been destroyed or were suffering a far worse fate. When the Titans discovered what transpired upon their youngest seedling, they made their return. The Pantheon struck down the four [[Elemental Lords]] who were devastating the world and shattered the Old Gods' citadels, which caused the greatest battle Azeroth would ever know to erupt. One by one, the Old Gods were defeated and sequestered, but from this great siege between the gods, the rumor of a Titan having fallen echoes across the ages.
+== Completion ==
-The Curse of Flesh had grown so malign however it had symbiotically bound the infant world to the Old Gods, and their destruction would have ensured the annihilation of Azeroth. Instead, the Pantheon neutralized the power of the Old Gods, and sealed the entities away within the deeps of the world for the remainder of its existence. After the Old Gods were contained and their elemental servants banished, the spirits of the elements again settled into balance, and Azeroth's ability to birth and sustain life returned. The Titans reseeded the world, re-created the Earthen and empowered defensive measures, such as the [[Titanic watcher]]s and the [[Dragon Aspects]]. They then departed from the world anew, leaving Azeroth to once again await the awakening of the first mortal beings.<ref>''[[Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game]]'', 155</ref><ref name="TS 157">''[[The Sundering]]'', 157</ref>

-===Whispers of the Old Gods===
+*7350 [[XP]]
-Since the dawn of life on [[Azeroth]], the imprisoned and sleeping Old Gods have been whispering to the subconsciousness of mortal and [[Eternal|eternal]] beings alike, subverting their thoughts and feelings, and sometimes driving them to great malice, complete insanity, or both.<ref>{{ref web |url= http://worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter1.html#3 |title= The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth |accessdate=2007-12-06}}</ref><ref>{{ref web |url= http://worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter2.html#12 |title= The Founding of Quel'Thalas |accessdate=2007-12-06}}</ref><ref>{{ref book |author= Knaak, Richard A. |authorlink= Richard A. Knaak |title= [[The Sundering]]
-|isbn= 978-0-7434-2898-9 }}</ref> The most notorious and tragic victim of the Old Whisperings is [[Neltharion the Earth-Warder]]; the once mighty [[Dragon Aspect]] who had been empowered by the [[Titan]] [[Khaz'goroth]] with dominion over the deep places of the world. Yet, not even Neltharion's great wisdom and power proved capable of breaking the grip the Old Whisperings had on his mind, causing the Earth-Warder to eventually lose all his sanity. Neltharion renamed himself [[Deathwing]], seeking the genocide of all non-draconic life on Azeroth as well as the enslavement of the other dragonflights.
+== Quest progression ==
-[[Malfurion Stormrage]] and [[Varo'then]] momentarily heard the Whisperings when they held the [[Demon Soul]] within their grasp. Malfurion has since stated that "[[Green dragonflight|Ysera's noble brood]] has [[The Nightmare|fallen victim]] to the Old Whisperings", as well.<ref name="Waking" /> The [[Highborne]] [[Queen Azshara]] is said to have heard the Whisperings moments before what would have been [[Great Sundering|her death]], causing her and her Highborne people to transform into the monstrous [[Naga]]-- an offer they either accepted willingly to avoid their fate or which has been coerced on them. The remainder of her surviving Highborne who made landfall in the [[Tirisfal Glade]]s are rumored to have succumbed to insanity after hearing these same Whisperings.

-The most striking historic account of the Old Whisperings however is found within the ancient scrolls of lore of the [[Tauren]], located in their capital city of [[Thunder Bluff]] at [[Elder Rise]]. The legend of creation of the formerly nomadic Tauren tribes makes a direct reference to the Whisperings, stating that the first incidents of Tauren committing acts of deceit, murder or warfare were because their early brethren "''harkened to the dark whispers from deep beneath the world.''"<ref>{{ref game |title= WoW |zone= Elder Bluff |npc= Scrolls of Lore |quote= "As the children of the earth roamed the fields of dawn, they hearkened to dark whispers from the deep beneath the world."}}</ref>

-===The War of the Ancients===
+*{{Patch 1.8.0|note=Added.}}
-During the [[War of the Ancients]] they corrupted the great benevolent [[Dragon Aspect]] [[Neltharion]], to create for them the extremely powerful [[Demon Soul]] which they empowered as well, to have [[Sargeras]] use to unintentionally set them free. The Demon Soul was taken from Neltharion by [[Malfurion]], then taken from him by [[Illidan]] and put in the Sargeras-summoning matrix, then taken back by Neltharion, who shortly thereafter was struck away by the Old Gods, who wished to have the summoning completed. Malfurion picked up the Demon Soul after Neltharion dropped it, and used it (in conjunction with Illidan) to prevent Sargeras' entry. It was then given to the dragons, stolen by [[Nekros]] ten-thousand years later, taken back by the dragons, and then destroyed.
-===Recent history===
+==External links==
+{{elinks-quest|8424}}
-,000 years later the Old Gods invaded [[Nozdormu|Nozdormu's]] realm and managed to open a rift in time, that, as they had planned, tossed some beings back through time, beings that would change the way the war of the ancients took place, and give Sargeras a new chance to enter the world, and therefore give them a new chance to set themselves free. Their plans were although again crushed by the very same Malfurion Stormrage.
-The [[Blackfathom Deeps]] in Ashenvale was once, long ago, a temple to Elune. The Great Sundering ruined the temple and left it submerged in water and buried under rock. Corruption from the Old Gods seeped up and tainted the sacred moonwell.<ref name="DF 164">''[[Dark Factions]]'', 164</ref> One may be in the Blackfathom Deeps.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 8</ref><ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 169</ref> ''Hints that old gods lie in or under the Blackfathom Deeps. Not to be confused with Aku'mai who was only influenced by the powers of the Old Gods.''
-Some time between the [[Third War]] and the re-opening of the Dark Portal, [[C'thun]] awoke completely and was able to physically return to Azeroth in the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. Packs of brave heroes marshalled outside the great [[Qiraji]] gates, tore them down and slew the old god.
-At some point during his stewardship of [[Ulduar]], Loken came under the sway of [[Yogg-Saron]] imprisoned within and eventually betrayed both the Pantheon and his own brother, [[Thorim]]. He resides in Ulduar's [[Halls of Lightning]], seeking to free Yogg-Saron completely and bring down the Pantheon. During the crusade against the Lich King in Northrend this came to the attention of the Kirin Tor, who recruited adventurers from the Alliance and the Horde to lay siege to [[Ulduar]]. They were victorious and [[Yogg-Saron]] was defeated.
-According to [[Malfurion Stormrage]], one of the Old Gods is behind the [[Emerald Nightmare|Nightmare]] corrupting the [[Emerald Dream]]. Although the Nightmare Lord in the dream turned out to be the Satyr Lord [[Xavius]], it is suspected that he was working for higher powers.
-==Background==
-The Old Gods are characterized as the sleeping '''evil beneath the earth''', whose telepathic '''whispers''' eventually become indistinguishable from one's own maddened thoughts. Beyond the things attributed to the Old Gods as a whole, individual Old Gods share some common factors between them. Both C'Thun and Yogg-Saron are fought with a section of their bodies sticking out of the ground in the center of a room, with an unknown amount of their forms remaining invisible below. They both appear to have countless tentacles below ground, which can come to the surface to aid in combat. The battles with both Old Gods call for damage to be done to something within each Old God's submerged form to weaken or remove a shield: Killing a Flesh Tentacle in the [[C%27Thun_%28tactics%29#Phase_2|Stomach of C'Thun]] and weakening the [[Brain of Yogg-Saron]] in the Mind's Eye (which may or may not represent physical places within the two Gods).
-The avatars of C'Thun and Yogg-Saron, the [[qiraji]] and [[faceless one]]s respectively, are similar in a few ways. Faceless ones have similar posture and shape to qiraji gladiators (Which may be due to recycling of wireframes, to some extent). Also, both groups have a general with vaguely similar names, [[General Rajaxx]] and [[General Vezax]], and a religious leader, [[The Prophet Skeram]] and [[Herald Volazj]] ([[Harbinger Skyriss]] too, but his affiliation is unknown).
-[[File:Master's Glaive.jpg|thumb|The [[Master's Glaive]] contains the remains of a [[forgotten one]].]]
-===The Number of Old Gods===
-Depending on the source, three, four, or five Old Gods lie imprisoned. Some of these sources seem to imply that these numbers were the limit to the number of Old Gods. The roleplaying game seems to imply that there were more than five Old Gods, including those imprisoned or killed.
-*The [[Warcraft III]] manual states that five Old Gods were chained beneath the world.
-*The Pantheon shattered the Old Gods' citadels and chained the five evil gods far beneath the surface of the world. Source: <ref>[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter1.html;jsessionid=CC38110A35EC80C14861CBF1CB4598BD.app05_06#3 History of Azeroth]</ref><ref>[http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowgm/?id=agm01338p ''Warcraft'' Lore FAQ 1]</ref>
-*According to the ''[[War of the Ancients Trilogy]]'', there are three Old Gods still living, imprisoned and chained by the Titans deep beneath the surface of Azeroth. There may be more however, these three are indicated to have formed some sort of alliance in order to escape their imprisonment.<ref name="TS 157" />
-*According to "[[The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth]]", four Old Gods were imprisoned beneath the world. This could perhaps be reconciled with the War of the Ancients trilogy if it were taken to include the fallen C'Thun in the count of the imprisoned Gods. This is however unlikely as C'thun was believed dead and not imprisoned. Note that the version of this chapter presented in the story section of the official site does not reference the number of Old Gods.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter1.html#3</ref>
-*"There are more Old Gods than just the ones trapped on Azeroth. It takes a lot for them to become manifested on a physical plane, however."<ref>{{ref web|url=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25626575587&sid=1|title=World of Warcraft Forums - Ask CDev #1 Answers|accessdate=2010-06-30}}</ref>
-In the [[Burning Crusade]] expansion, a group of [[Arakkoa]] known as the [[Dark Conclave]] attempted to summon an entity described as an "[[Summoned Old God|ancient and powerful evil]]" into [[Outland]]. It is nearly identical in appearance to the first named Old God, [[C'Thun]].
-===Named Old Gods===
-====C'Thun====
-{{Main|C'Thun}}
-[[File:Cthun-p2.jpg|thumb|C'Thun, the first named Old God.]]
-C'Thun was the first of the three Old Gods to be named so far, having received that name from its creations; the [[Qiraji]]. C'Thun was struck down in [[Silithus]] during the dawning of the world, in a battle which may have also resulted in the defeat of a [[Titan]]. C'Thun was believed to have been slain permanently, but the Old God resurfaced over the course of history as the driving force behind the Qiraji. It is trapped deep beneath the ruined temples of [[Ahn'Qiraj]], where it has exerted its will for thousands of years over its Qiraji avatars, who in turn command the [[Silithid]] swarm.
-C'Thun is the final boss in the [[Temple of Ahn'Qiraj]].
-====Yogg-Saron====
-{{Main|Yogg-Saron}}
-[[File:Yoggsaron.jpg|thumb|Yogg-Saron, "the lucid dream".]]
-Described by the demigod [[Ursoc]] as "''the beast with a thousand maws''", Yogg-Saron was the second Old God to be named. The dire entity refers to itself in ways as "''the lucid dream''", "'''''the''' god of death''" or "''the '''true face''' of death''", and appears to secrete a substance named [[Saronite]] across [[Northrend]] which is capable of driving any that have been exposed to it to murderous insanity. [[Slinkin the Demo-gnome]] discovered shortly before his demise that a mysterious connection seems to exist between the Old God Yogg-Saron and the [[undead]] [[Scourge]]. In his final note, he claims to have overheard some undead uttering the name "Yogg-Saron" with a tone of tremendous hatred and contempt, and that this was usually followed by outbursts of rage from other undead. Yet, the Scourge appear to be mining for Saronite on an industrial scale.
-Yogg-Saron's underground prison extends through much of east-central Northrend; his influence has been felt directly in the [[Grizzly Hills]] ([[Vordrassil]], the Grizzlemaw Furbolgs and Ursoc), [[Dragonblight]] ([[Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom]], with [[faceless one]]s and a sect of the [[Twilight's Hammer]] dedicated to Yogg-Saron) and the [[Storm Peaks]] ([[Ulduar]], and the corrupted Titanic guardian [[Loken]]). The Old God is located within [[Prison of Yogg-Saron|his prison]] deep inside Ulduar, and is the final boss of the raid instance, much as [[C'Thun]] was the final boss in [[Ahn'Qiraj]].
-====N'Zoth====
-{{Main|N'Zoth}}
-N'Zoth<ref>http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27401644950&sid=1&pageNo=2</ref> is an Old God supposedly featured in Cataclysm. He was responsible for the spark of the [[Emerald Nightmare]], and "he has all sorts of weird shit going on", and is a real problem. <ref>Blizzcon 2010-Quests and Lore</ref> He is the third Old God to be named explicitly as such.
-===Mortal worship===
-Until recently, only little was known about the Old Gods and their maddened worshippers--practically none on [[Azeroth]] were truly aware of the existence of the Old Gods until [[C'Thun]] made its ominous presence felt clearly within the depths of [[Ahn'Qiraj]]. It is self-evident however the Old Gods possess worshippers across all the world's peoples and cultures somehow. The Old Gods are imprisoned and asleep deep beneath the earth, but their power is so vast that their maddening, destructive taint seeps from their prisons and appears to tear at the sanity of an unknown quantity of Azeroth's denizens. To what extent sentient beings can become influenced by the Old Gods in this manner is not well understood, but those who hear the Old Whisperings the clearest have joined together in a coalition that is known as the [[Twilight's Hammer]]. Most of these cultists and followers have lost every ounce of their sanity and have turned completely unpredictable and malefic, and, sometimes, something that is much worse. Through the leadership of the [[ogre-mage]] [[Cho'gall]], a powerful servant of C'Thun, the Twilight's Hammer has in recent times become the focal point for mortal worship of the Old Gods, and the cult's influence has since begun to increase alarmingly. Former members of both [[Alliance]] and [[Horde]] inexplicably flock to join in service and seek to assist in bringing about the final hour of all mortal existence on Azeroth. Large groups of the Twilight's Hammer have been observed to settle at or near sites where they believe the Old Gods or their minions are sealed away; many await C'Thun's awakening in [[Silithus]], while others appear to serve [[Ragnaros]] in the [[Blackrock Depths]] alongside the [[Dark Iron dwarves]].<ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 169</ref> The largest concentrations of the Twilight's Hammer however are located at [[Grim Batol]] and in the [[Bastion of Twilight]], in a region that is now referred to as the [[Twilight Highlands]].
-In some cases, evil but still sane individuals deliberately attempt to turn to worship of the Old Gods out of spite, when they feel that other, more mainstream powers have mistreated them. Anarchists also sometimes turn to worship of the Old Gods out of a desire to destroy the world; some believe a new, better world will rise up in the wake of the destruction. In either case, these individuals are deluded or misinformed and any who do manage to make even the barest real contact with the Old Gods go hopelessly and irrevocably insane.
-C'Thun created avatars from the [[silithid]] in its own image. These avatars, known as the [[qiraji]], represent dark and powerful mockeries of life and have served as the Old God's heralds for millenia.  Likewise, [[Yogg-Saron]] is associated with the entities known only as [[Faceless One|faceless ones]], which appear to serve the Old God as its heralds and avatars as well.
-[[Queen Azshara]] and the bulk of her [[Highborne]] people seem to have struck a pact with, or have fallen to, the power of the Old Gods, and have since become the monstrous [[naga]]. The naga have been seen in the presence of faceless ones in regions such as [[Vashj'ir]], suggesting that the darkest fears about the change that has overcome Azshara and many of the Highborne hold true.
-In the end of "The Sundering" by Richard A. Knaak, the reader follows Azshara as she hears a voice talking to her, as her palace is sucked into the Well of Eternity, as The Sundering happens. This voice offers to save her, if she swear her and hers loyalty to it. Quoting directly from the book:
-'''Then... voices whispered from the gloom, voices calling to her, promising her escape.
-"''There is a way... there is a way... you will become more than you ever were... more than you ever were... we can help... we can help...''" The queen was no fool. She knew her shield would not last much longer. Then the well would claim her and her followers and the glory that was Azshara would be lost to the world.
-The silver-tressed night elf nodded.
-"Ungh!" The goblet fell from her hand. Her body was wracked with pain. She felt her limbs twisting, curling. Her spine felt fluid, as if much of it had instantly melted away...
-"''You will become more than you have ever been..." promised the voices. "And when the time comes, for what we grant you... you will serve us well...''"
-The last vestiges of her shield spell failed. Azshara shrieked as the waters overwhelmed her. In the background she heard other cries as well... her handmaidens, the guards, and the rest of the Highborne who still served her.
-The Well filled her lungs...
-But... she did not drown.'''
-This hints at her being contacted by the Old Gods, or some other enormous power, and striking off a deal with them. Taking into account that they are living in the Maelstrom, a ravenous place filled with enormous magical energies formerly holding the greatest fount of magical power in the world, it could quite possibly be a place in which to lock away and Old God.
-Also, in the prologue of the same book, we follow Nozdormu as he searches through the depths of the Well, and finds a force of incredible evil, which appears to have corrputed the Well itself. It tries to hold on to him with ''tentacles'', the last part of the three Old Gods seen on the most accessible picturing of the three. This could very well mean that the last Old God was imprisoned below or near the Well of eternity, as it seems they only have access to corrupt an area around their prison. Which would connect well with the Naga being the main servants of the last Old God, just as C'thun used Silithid, and The Faceless Ones were used by Yogg-Saron.
-==Remnants of the Old Gods==
-A number of things in and on Azeroth is said to be related to or derived from Old Gods:
-* [[Chemist Fuely]] sends players on a chain of quests to collect slime samples. On completing [[Quest:... and a Batch of Ooze]] Fuely remarks that the ooze is elemental in nature but different, reminding him of the Old Gods, during [[Quest:Melding of Influences]] Fuely states that it is possible that the ooze might be part of the Old Gods. In [[Grizzly Hills]] a ooze called Blood of the Old God can be found.
-* [[Saronite]] is described as being the Blood of Yogg-Saron.
-* [[Bloodstone ore]] is described as being the perserved blood of a Old God
-* [[Elementium]], is a rare element, said by [[Earthcaller Franzahl]] to be created by warring elementals. It is believed to have been created during the time the Old Gods ruled Azeroth, when the Old Gods forced their elemental servants to make war upon each other.
-* [[Dwarves]], [[Troggs]], [[Gnomes]], [[Humans]], [[vrykul]] are all the product of the Titan [[Seed races]] being corrupted by the Old God created [[Curse of Flesh]]
-==Cataclysm==
-{{cata-section}}
-In ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]'', players who decide to quest in [[Vashj'ir]], will first sail on a ship that will be destroyed by [[Ozumat|mysterious giant tentacles]]. There will also be strange tentacles in dark pools in the naga area on the [[Lost Isles]]. It appears that [[Stonetalon Peak]] is being attacked by an Old God or or some of its minions. In [[Twilight Highlands]], a minion of the Old Gods - [[Iso'rath]] can be found and in [[Darkshore]], [[Soggoth the Slitherer]].
-==Quotes==
-:''See also: [[C'thun#The Whispers of C'Thun|The Whispers of C'Thun]], [[Yogg-Saron#The Whispers of Yogg-Saron|The Whispers of Yogg-Saron]] and [[N'Zoth#The Whispers of N'Zoth]]''
-===Whispers to Azshara===
-{{Main|Queen Azshara}}
-*"There is [[Naga|a way]]... there is a way..."
-*"You will become more than you ever were... more than you ever were..."
-*"We can help... we can help..."
-*"You will be more than you have ever been... and when the time comes, for what we grant you... you will serve us well..."
-==Inspiration==
-The names and overall nature of the Old Gods are an homage to the various group of deities from the Cthulhu Mythos in the works of [[wikipedia:H.P. Lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]] (first stage), [[wikipedia:Brian Lumley|Brian Lumley]] (third stage), and the ''Call of Cthulhu'' RPG. C'Thun appears to be based on Cthulhu, Yogg-Saron appears to be based on the [[wikipedia:Outer God|Outer God]] [[wikipedia:Yog-Sothoth|Yog-Sothoth]], and N'Zoth appears to be based on Zoth-Ommog. Furthermore, the story which concerns the Titans' imprisoning of the Old Gods is an inspiration from the story [[wikipedia:August Derleth|August Derleth]] proposed as the ancient outcome of the war between the Elder Gods (represented in the [[Titans]]) and the Outer Gods (represented in the Old Gods). Interestingly, the origin of the Titans is alien to Azeroth, while the Old Gods are native to it, swapping the names and some facts. An alternative name of the Old Gods is the Elder Gods.
