Talk:Thrall

Snowsong?

Why is Snowsong, Thrall's frost wolf mount, black? This had to have been a conscious decision in WarCraft 3, as regular Far Seer's mounts are white. So... uh..

Anyone?

--Wasted 02:33, 29 June 2006 (EDT)

It's simply never been explained. Perhaps female wolves of that species turn black after whelping. It's possible that it isn't the original Snowsong, but a black-furred namesake. More likely Blizzard decided that Thrall would look more impressive on a black wolf and hoped no one would notice that Snowsong was supposed to be white. --Ragestorm 06:19, 29 June 2006 (EDT)

Thrall's HP

Does anyone know how much HP Thrall has in WoW? Thanks.--StormtalonX

Wow wow wow Ragestorm. Isn't Thrall killable ingame ?--K ) (talk) 04:19, 19 November 2006 (EST)

By the same token that Sylvanas or Tyrande or the other racial leaders are: in PvP realms, and not as part of the plot. --Ragestorm 10:41, 19 November 2006 (EST)

Ingame joke ?

Thrall is indeed ... the Shaman King !--K ) (talk) 10:00, 30 September 2006 (EDT)

???????--Ragestorm 21:47, 30 September 2006 (EDT)

Thrall is the Warchief of the Horde, let's say he's the King. And he's a Shaman. Therefore he's the Shaman King.--K ) (talk) 03:46, 1 October 2006 (EDT)

And Blizzard would put in a joke related to a slightly obscure anime because...?--Ragestorm 22:22, 1 October 2006 (EDT)

Slightly obscure ? Man, it's one of the mos popular mangas in the world ! I totally see why !--K ) (talk) 04:28, 2 October 2006 (EDT)

LOL... Thrall the Shaman King... well, he DID summon the spirit of fire in... is it cycle of hatred i forgot which novel. --Invin Dranoel 06:39, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

Thrall and Jaina comments

It's pure speculation, so keep it that way. There's no point adding a section about whether they get married because it's irrelevant and going widly into the realm of 'ooh, what if this happened' -- Kirkburn (talk) 15:52, 3 October 2006 (EDT)

White Punch Card : I had seen it before but I think it's a joke. However we can keep it here.--K ) (talk) 09:19, 10 October 2006 (EDT)

That's a clever in-joke. The marriage thing was speculation, and rancid speculation at that- though I sense a good plot for fanfiction. --Ragestorm 18:57, 10 October 2006 (EDT)

NEVER! JAINA IS MINE!!! Imagine what the guys in Kul Tiras would do if they actually get married! It would be the start of the FOURTH WAR!!! --Invin Dranoel 06:43, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

No, Jaina is mine. And, moreover, her own father even had a child with a High Elf, so even if the Orcs are ugly interracial marrying shouldn't be a problem.--K ) (talk) 08:29, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

I'd advise you to think VERY carefully before continuing that conversation- Jaina neither knows nor cares that either of you exist. Kul'tiras vs. the Horde. More like the Fourth Skirmish than an actual war. One does wonder, though... it would heal certain breachs. Let's save it for another expansion hence, or Warcraft IV, people.--Ragestorm 11:38, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

:P I was kidding (was Invin ?). Anyway I don't think it would be a big deal.--K ) (talk) 16:50, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

WC3 > WoW?

"However, in the WoW version, Thrall doesn't even care about his Peon subjects and is shown to be more aggressive and more unfriendly towards his warriors. "

What's the source for this? This statement seems completely unfounded. ESPECIALLY given that he will greet the player's character, a nobody, warmly. --Pure.Wasted 16:32, 3 October 2006 (EDT)

I've removed that section - it doesn't agree with anyinformation I've ever come across, nor appears to make sense. (PS. New comment sections go at the bottom of pages, please) -- Kirkburn (talk) 17:02, 3 October 2006 (EDT)

Woops. Will keep in mind. :) --Pure.Wasted 18:02, 3 October 2006 (EDT)

It just gets confusing sometimes :P Thanks! -- Kirkburn (talk) 19:12, 3 October 2006 (EDT)

I think whoever wrote it might've gotten the idea from the PvP rank book you can purchase, which details how the Horde military is structured, and shows the greatest rank down to the lowest ("as should be"). I either Overlord Saurfang or that other guy wrote it, and as well all know, those two are major hardasses.--Grid 18:08, 25 November 2006 (EST)

Chris Metzen does not voice Thrall

See [1], near the bottom, and other sources. -- Kirkburn (talk) 21:10, 7 October 2006 (EDT)

TV.Com is not an official source. Anyone can edit it. I've heard the WC3 Cinematics DVD mentions Metzen as the voice of Thrall. Which is FAR more official. Can we get confirmation either way?--Aldrius 17:36, 7 October 2006 (EDT)

Nothing accurate on IMDB )-':--K ) (talk) 19:15, 7 October 2006 (EDT)

Info from BC

In BC, we learn more about Thrall, as the horde reconnects with the orcs left in outland. I would post this info on the main page, but i dont have the patience to make it neat and orderly. I can post what ive found here, and hopefully someone with more wiki experiance can post it all nice and pretty-like.

After a long quest chain, thrall returns to outland, to his home in nagrand. We find out that Greatmother Geyah is Thralls Grandmother, although it is not stated on which side. His mother was pregnant with him When they crossed into Azeroth. His given name is Go'el.

It is also revealed that Grom was the first orc to drink Manoroth's blood, and this knowladge is the cause of Garrosh's apathy.

Screenshot of Captive Orc

I don't think that screenshot of the orc from the background of the Orc Prologue mission selection screen is Thrall. You see the same orc in grunt gear standing in the Barrens for the Orc Campaign mission selection screen.--Grid 18:14, 25 November 2006 (EST)

Agreed.--Ragestorm 18:27, 25 November 2006 (EST)

Thrall's Orcish Name?

Holy crap this is big news. Where was this information revealed? I was under the impression that he couldn't have one since his parents were killed before his Naming Day, making him yet an unnamed babe. Was he recently given one in honor?--Grid 01:27, 26 November 2006 (EST)

His father had one in mind before they went to Azeroth. You can read about the whole thing here (it's down a ways) -- Maenos 02:54, 26 November 2006 (EST)

Thrall's brother?

so i was talking to some NPCs in BC, and i noticed one, Nazgrel, had this to say:

"Still, he is my warchief and my blood-brother."

What makes that really confusing, is Nazgrel is a Mok'Nathal, meaning he could only be thrall's half-brother. Is there some orcish tradition/custom that would make a non relative a blood-brother, or could this be a relative of thrall?
