![]() ![]() Nobundo's tale is detailed in the short story Unbroken, which can be found on the Blizzard website for free. Among them was Nobundo, who sought out his own destiny and found it in the unlikely call of the elements themselves. These draenei became what are now called the Broken. After the slaughter at Shattrath City, the draenei fled, and some began to devolve due to orcish fel magic. The draenei observed the shamans of the orcs without really understanding what they were. However, they turn away from technology, choosing instead to embrace wild magic and the elements.įor the draenei, it's a slightly different story. The Wildhammer clan of dwarves are descendants of the earthen, just like the rest of the dwarfish race. For the trolls and the tauren, their history stretches back equally long. well, however long orcs had been around on Draenor back in the day. For the orcs, this was something that they had been practicing for. It is the nature of a shaman to understand and cultivate that balance, while working in harmony with the very elements that make up the world. Earth, Water, Wind, Fire and the mysterious spirit of the Wild all coexist simultaneously where ever there is life to be had. Each has a basic understanding of the world, the elements, and the way the elements ebb and flow throughout every aspect of life. The shaman culture has long been a part of orcish society, as well as troll and tauren - even the dwarves have practiced shamanism for ages, although it was by and large only the Wildhammer Clan that did so. Pagh!" He snarled and turned away from Thrall. They are powerful entities who come of their own free will, who are companions in my magic, not my servants. They come to me because they choose to, not because I demand it! These are not slaves, Thrall. In return, I thank these powers, knowing that they are borrowed only, never bought. At times, I ask great things, but only when the cause is good and just and wholesome. I request only the barest needs for myself and my people. "Do you understand nothing? I am granted these things because I ask, with respect in my heart, and I am willing to offer something in return. "And I would violate the primary agreement with the elements, and nothing of nature would ever respond to me again!" bellowed Drek'Thar. Food would never be difficult to come by, your enemies would never find you-" "If what you are saying is true, you could turn this barren mountain-top into a lush garden. "If your power is so great, then why do you continue to live in such a harsh place?" Thrall asked. For a shaman, there are only the Elements, and how one chooses to interact with them. For a paladin, the Light comes from many different sources. ![]() ![]() Now draenei, dwarves, and pandaren have joined the fray on the Alliance side - and goblins and pandaren are also available to Horde.īut what makes up a shaman? What kind of character follows this particular path? Paladins have several different points of origin depending on race, and the shaman do as well - although they don't quite have as varied a difference in beliefs. But as the game evolved, so too did the class split. In fact, the Warchief of the Horde itself was one of the most notable shaman on the Horde side of things, although both tauren and troll actively pursued shamanism as well. While the Alliance had paladins aplenty, the Horde equivalent was the shaman. In the days of vanilla, the different races of Azeroth weren't just split by faction - there was a class split as well.
