Cenarius, patron of the Druids
Ancient Guardians[1][2] (also known as Ancients[3] or ancients) are demigods of Azeroth.
Named
Agamaggan[4]
Aessina[5]- Aviana[2][6]
- Cenarius[2]
- Goldrinn[2][7]
- L'ghorek[8][9][10][3]
- Malorne[2]
- Nespirah[11]
- Tortolla[2][12]
- Ursol
- Ursoc
Unnamed
Numerous unnamed Ancient Guardians appeared in one scene of The Sundering.[13]
- A wolverine guardian (possibly Goldrinn)
- A tiny red fox
- A winged panther (possibly tol'vir-related or a tol'vir ancestor)
- Pixies
- A reptilian warrior (possibly Tortolla)
- Male oak figures with hoods (possibly ancients)
- A stick bug race (possibly aqir-related or an aqir ancestor)
- A squat warrior
Dark Ancients
The Twilight's Hammer feared that the Ancient Guardians may someday rise up to oppose them. They created twisted versions of the Ancients, summoned to replace them. They were a primal force of nature, but their origins were from a darker place. Those who birthed these beasts reached deep into the blackness, channeling powers never intended for this world.[14] The Twilight's Hammer dreamed of creating their own pantheon of twisted ancients to rule over the land, sea, and air,[15] though only two were summoned before the Twilight's Hammer was stopped.
- Lycanthoth, the dark version of the ancient Goldrinn.
- Nemesis, the dark version of the ancient Tortolla.
Relationship with the loa
Troll druids visiting the Moonglade have been overheard calling the wisps who reside there loa, just as they refer to Goldrinn, Aviana, and the other returned Ancients as loa. Night elves and tauren have tried to counsel these trolls on "correct" druidic nomenclature, but the trolls thus far have been stuck in their ways.[16] What this actually means for the two groups is unknown.
RPG information
Night elf culture speaks of both ancients and Ancients (note the capital A). Ancients (lower-case) are treelike sages and protectors. Ancients (upper-case) are old demigods, like Cenarius, who assisted the night elves at various points throughout their history.[17]
Perhaps more so than other Eternals, the Ancients of the night elves are treated like deities. Primal spirits of the natural world when it was young, they personify its most distinct and most powerful qualities. Although several of them were effectively destroyed during the War of the Ancients and in later conflicts, they are honored still by races such as centaur, furbolgs, night elves and quilboar. Elune the Moon Goddess, Azeroth's one true deity, remains a focus of worship for the night elves and other races, while the world grows warier of what the changed Queen Azshara may attempt in the coming future.[18]
Most of the inhabitants of northern Kalimdor — namely the night elves, but also the furbolgs and the satyrs — worship or revere the Ancients. The night elves worship Azeroth's only deity, the eternal moon goddess Elune. They revere most of the other Ancients, especially Cenarius, the only Ancient to spend considerable time on the physical plane. They also honor the moon goddess's companions, including Agamaggan, Aviana and Malorne. The furbolgs venerate the bear twins, Ursoc and Ursol; and the evil satyrs revere Lord Xavius. The Ancients rarely interfere with life on Azeroth, but these races hold fast in their fervent beliefs that the Ancients exist and are watching events unfold.[19]
