'''Meta gems''' match {{socket icon|meta}} meta sockets. These gems have special requirements that must be met for the gem's bonus to activate. For example, in order to gain the benefits of a [[Destructive Skyfire Diamond]], there must be a minimum of 2 gems of each color between all the items currently equipped on the character.

His reckless state, however, may refer to him being drunk.

It should be noted that gems which match multiple socket colors can fulfill meta gem requirements for any color they match. For example, if a meta gem needs 3 red and 2 yellow to activate, 3 orange (red/yellow) gems can activate this gem. Also, a gem does not have to match its socket to contribute to a meta gem; therefore, the player may choose to lose an item's gem bonus in order to activate the meta gem's bonus. So far only high-end helms have meta sockets.

It is possible that Prince Liam Greymane was named afte King Liam Trollbane. Seeing some xenophobic aspects of Genn Greymane, it seems unlikely, but it could be that Greymane does respect other kingdoms enough to praise former rulers. However, it seems more likely that both Liams were named after a king of Arathor with the same name.
  +
  +
It could also be that this is a common name among all humans because its meaning in the real world is ''Protection'' in the German variant, obviously a popular theme, and ''My People'' in the Hebrew variant, which is fitting name for a ruler.

Prince Liam Greymane is a member of the Royal Family of Gilneas, and the son and heir of King Genn Greymane.[1] He appears first in Gilneas City and then later in the village of Duskhaven in Gilneas, where he does battle with the invading Forsaken. He appears shirtless in-game, and little is known of him at present. He may have been afflicted with the worgen curse, as it is noted by Gwen Armstead that he, "might be a little reckless in his current state." His reckless state, however, may refer to him being drunk.

During the Battle for Gilneas City, Liam is killed by Sylvanas Windrunner when he takes a poisoned arrow intended for Genn. He dies secure in the knowledge that the city had been retaken.

"The Forsaken think we're weak, a broken people. They think we'll roll over like a scared dog... how wrong they are. We will fight them in the fields until the last trench collapses and the last cannon is silenced. We will fight them on the streets until the last shot is fired, and when there is no more ammunition, we'll crush their skulls with the stones that pave our city. We will fight them in the alleys until our knuckles are skinned and bloodied, and our rapiers lay on the ground, shattered. And if we find ourselves surrounded and disarmed, wounded and without hope; we will lift our heads in defiance and spit in their faces. But we will never surrender! FOR GILNEAS!"

Trivia

  • The speech made by Liam before the battle in Gilneas City is reminiscent of Winston Churchill's speech in the House of Commons on June 4, 1940, during the Battle of Britain. Faced with overwhelming odds, Churchill vowed that "we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender".
  • In the beta, he used a Rough boomstick as gun, but in when the real game was launched it changed to a normal, gilnean rifle.

Speculation

Questionmark-medium
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.

It is possible that Prince Liam Greymane was named afte King Liam Trollbane. Seeing some xenophobic aspects of Genn Greymane, it seems unlikely, but it could be that Greymane does respect other kingdoms enough to praise former rulers. However, it seems more likely that both Liams were named after a king of Arathor with the same name.

It could also be that this is a common name among all humans because its meaning in the real world is Protection in the German variant, obviously a popular theme, and My People in the Hebrew variant, which is fitting name for a ruler.
