| − | == Biography == |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | === Early history === |
||
| − | It is theorized that Malorne is older than Elune herself.{{Cite|WoWRPG|251}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | The earliest record of Malorne is in the [[tauren mythology|tauren myth]] [[The White Stag and the Moon]]. It describes how Malorne, being hunted by the [[tauren]], bargained with [[Elune]] in exchange for help. Malorne accepted Elune's help and loved her as part of the deal. Elune gave birth to [[Cenarius]] from that relationship. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Malorne the Waywatcher showed up to help the [[Night Elf|night elves]] when a great crisis affected the world or the night elf civilization. Although he has great magical power, he is never shapeshifted into any other form. The stag prevented two civil wars among the night elves simply by making himself present before the astonished eyes of the night elves. Malorne was an excellent diplomat, opening dialogue between and pacifying conflicting parties. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Malorne was able to enter the [[Emerald Dream]] and the physical world at any time, and perceived what happens in both realms as if he had omniscience of what happens simultaneously in both planes. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There are rumors of the existence of a group of [[druid (lore)|druid]]s that take on the aspect of Malorne as Druids of the Antler, but it has not been proven.{{Cite|S&L|82-83}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Relationships === |
||
| − | As told in the above myth, Malorne was the lover of Elune, the mother of his son Cenarius. He subsequently became partner to the [[Dragon Aspect]] [[Ysera]], who adopted Cenarius as her own. This has led to speculation that Ysera and Elune were one and the same, but this theory has been officially [[Retcon#The_Mother_of_Cenarius|denied]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The ''[[Warcraft Encyclopedia]]'' [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/encyclopedia/475.xml], clearly states (several times) that Malorne was never romantically involved with Ysera. The rumor was apparently started by the close relationship between Ysera and Cenarius (now known to be one of teacher and student), which led to speculation that she was his [[Elune|absent mother]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Malorne's death and resurrection === |
||
| − | Night elves worship Malorne for his great assistance during the [[War of the Ancients]] against the first invasion of the [[Burning Legion]] where he lost his life in defense of the world of Azeroth. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Cenarius had gone into a frenzy seeing [[Ursol]], [[Ursoc]], [[Aviana]], and [[Agamaggan]] die. Cenarius crushed hundreds of [[felguard]]s and [[felhunter]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The demons finally got hold of Cenarius, but before the [[demon]]s could slay him, Malorne came into the fray blinding all demons with his majestic white flashing body. Malorne's hooves crushed many demons, while his antlers killed many others. Malorne defended his son Cenarius, and with a look toward the elves as if telepathically commanding them to come for his son, [[Jarod Shadowsong]] and others dragged Cenarius to safety. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Malorne's fury might have begun to turn the tide against the Burning Legion, had [[Archimonde]] not appeared. Black lightning struck the land around Malorne, baking it, then green fire from the ground engulfed Malorne, burning at his coat, while the land and rock formed giant hands that pinned his four legs to the ground. Archimonde swelled in size matching Malorne's height. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Malorne freed himself from his magical trap, and charged Archimonde with his antlers, causing tremors and lightning as demons and Azeroth's races nearby shook and fell to the ground flat on their backs with astonishment. Malorne and Archimonde battled for some time, until, finally, Archimonde managed to seize Malorne and with great force snapped his neck. Cenarius's brave rescuer and father, limp and lifeless, was tossed aside by Archimonde. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Malfurion]] knowing Cenarius was unconscious and that Archimonde had just slain Malorne, cast a spell that engulfed most of Archimonde's body with vines. The Archdemon, analytical as always, decided to retreat by vanishing in a green flare of flames that consumed the vines. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Shortly thereafter (a few moments, in fact), [[Alexstrasza]], [[Ysera]], and [[Soridormi]], along with their dragonflights, joined the War of the Ancients. Ysera came to a screeching halt at the sight of Malorne and opened wide her brilliant jade eyes (one of only a few times she did so in recorded history) with a deafening shriek. As she tore through the carnage to her friend, thousands of demons were thrown in all directions with her paws and wings. Her rampage continued, making her way through to her goal, until she came still, her chin on Malorne's head; sobs could be heard as She of the Dreaming mourned the White Stag's end. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It is currently believed by night elves, that he transcended death and that he has returned to Elune's side or sleeps in the Emerald Dream.{{Cite|WoWRPG|251}} |

| − | == In Cataclysm == |
||
| − | {{Cata-section}} |
||
| − | The Official Cataclysm webpage suggests that Malorne might return in [[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]], rumored to be roaming [[Mount Hyjal]].<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/hyjal.html</ref> |

| − | {{speculation}} |
||
| − | There is some confusion as to the accuracy of the tauren tale, ''The White Stag and the Moon''. It seems unlikely that a being of Malorne's power would fear the tauren, much less be hunted by them. The question is not about the parentage of Cenarius, but rather, about the circumstances that led to this liaison. Some think it unlikely that the tauren could have posed a threat to him, and thus question the hunt that chased Malorne into the sky. There are likely explanations for the story: |
||
| − | # The tale is literally true (see below). |
||
| − | #:A) The tauren chased him in such numbers that they posed a threat. |
||
| − | #:B) The tauren had heroes among them that might have posed a threat to Malorne. |
||
| − | #:C) He may not have wished to battle the tauren, due to them being a peaceful race and children of the [[Earth Mother]], and Elune gave him an opportunity to avoid conflict. |
||
| − | #:D) Malorne was less powerful than at the time of his death, his liaison with Elune somehow unlocked latent powers. |
||
| − | #:E) The hunt for Malorne was not a serious life-death adventure at all but it was more of a game between Malorne and the tauren. Malorne did not actually run from the Tauren because he feared them but because he found it fun or exciting to be hunted and played along with mortals. Upon the point when he could not run anymore he simply could not accept defeat in the hunting game at hands of the mortals. |
||
| − | # The tale is a myth based upon true events; though Malorne was forced to ask Elune's aid to escape a threat, it was not the tauren he was running from, and as the tauren retold the tale over the millennia, they replaced the unknown enemy with themselves. |
||
| − | # The entire story is fictional, and was created to explain the liaison between Malorne and Elune that led to the birth of Cenarius. |
||
| − | Given the tauren's attitude towards demigods and other natural powers, however, it seems unlikely that they would even be hunting Malorne in the first place. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Name== |
||
| − | His name was likely taken from the [[Random hero#Keeper of the Grove|random]] [[Keeper of the Grove]] hero in ''[[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]]''. |

Grimm Onearm is a goblin techno mage. The ".3" of the cabal, Grimm is a goblin who lost his right arm and leg in a rather impressive accident. He has prosthetic limbs that are made from metal, look exactly like flesh, and respond to his mind’s commands. Few other than other techno mages realize his limbs are not natural. Although he jokes he is only .3 of a member of the cabal, he still carries a lot of weight in the House of the Arcane Contraption. When not sailing his merchant ship up and down the coast, secretly smuggling Horde supplies to roguish Alliance groups who care not for the affiliation enmity and only want the goods, he spends his time at the House of the Arcane Contraption, training new techno mages. His merchant ship is called the Snarling Gribble Eel and is one of the fastest ships in the eastern sea. It runs on a complicated perpetual motion engine that is fueled by his will whenever he steps aboard.[1]
