Atiesh
Maybe we can add the story of Atiesh in this page since in Warcraft 3 it was held by Medivh in every cinematic he appeared but the current lore assumes it as being in possession of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran soon after Medivh was Killed by Lothar, Khadgar and Garona. N'Nanz 10:17, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't think the staff he used in warcraft III was the same staff despite looking quite similar.Baggins 10:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
'Hell'
Notably most of the iterations of 'Hell' used in the more recent works of lore do not include the capitalisation. Thus, it leads me to suspect any use of it is merely referring to a proverbial place (like, say 'banish you from the [darkness] you came. 'Hell' is just another word for it) rather than an actual religious location in lore. I may be wrong of course in this, because how would these people -know- to use the word 'Hell' if there is no catalyst to coin the phrase, especially if a Bible does not exist? Still, I believe it is a simple cock-up of the quest writers. Melaisis 20:39, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- It has phased out, but some NPCs still seem to talk as if a belief of 'hell' was somthing that was common knowlage.--SWM2448 23:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Generally speaking though hell is not of biblical origin as far as I know. It was a term that predates the english bible translations (original language versions would likely not have the english word hell). The concept of hell itself actually goes back to various cultures views of an "underworld". In greek alternatively referred to as "hades".Baggins (talk) 02:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Interestingly, in the book Lord of the Clans the character of Blackmoore is always mentioning "hells" and not "hell". Rolandius (talk) 03:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
