    Question The fifth, yet unnamed Old god. Creator of trolls?

    Yogg-Saron
    C'thun
    N'zoth
    Y'shaarj


    These are the four known Old gods of the five that are written about in the lore of Azeroth.

    C'thun and Yogg-Saron and the third unnamed old god seems to be imprisoned underneath the depths of Azeroth. Question is, when the last old god will make his appearance. N'zoth is no where to be found and seemingly was able to escape the clutches of the Titans and during this time he created the Emerald Nightmare.

    What intrigues me is the following; Troll is the only playable race that existed before the Titans came to Azeroth. But also the only race who refer the titans as the travellers. And if trolls managed to survive during the raging battles between the elements and old gods warring eachother... They are rather stronger than the WoW makers seems to want to depict them. In other words, they are simple beating bags. But it will also explain why the trolls hatred enemy is Arcane magic.

    Arcane magic originates from the first Well. A well that was created by the Titans which means that the titans brought Arcane to Azeroth and before that there was none and that is why the trolls still use their magic LOA which is both mysterious and dangerous to other races.

    During my small argues with different people and the seemingly comparison between Wowpedia and Wowwiki to get the most out of the lore from both angles I have kind of found a small indication that Aqir, Faceless, Trolls are in possible fact armies of the different old gods.

    That brings us to next question, What if the fifth, yet unnamed Old god is perhaps the troll creator? The greatest LOA and the master of their race. How will Darkspear conflict with this old god if it true? Will they turn on their horde brethren to service their old god like the Mantid went to the voice of Y'shaarj?

    After all, the old gods weren't in great terms with each other before the titans came. HAving their own citadels where they dwelled and schemed against each other to become the greatest of them. It is even written that the two united old gods C'thun and Yogg-Saron had a war with N'zoth's minions.

    That leads to the question, who created the troll race and for what purpose? Were they an army as well like Aqir and Faceless ones? Who were their master? Perhaps the fifth unnamed old god. The only old god that can whisper into their minds and bring them back in unified force? After all, if C'thun or Yogg-Saron could hold control of eachothers minions. Why didn't they try to reach out towards the Mantid? Mantid, a race who served their old god blindly... But perhaps... They could not? Not because of the mist but because the mantid was never created to serve them. They were created to serve Y'shaarj whom is in pieces but not fully dead. As long the Sha roams the land of Pandaria, he will never fully be dead.

    And where is the last Titan facility that hides the third Old god? Yogg-Saron was in a titan facility and threw his influence on the guards. C'thun was in a titan facility that he rebuilt with the Qiraji... Where is the last Old gods prison? What might guard it and what might its schemes for release give us?

    The question is mainly;

    Is the fifth old god the creator of trolls? The master LOA?
    How will Darkspear respond to the old god if it true? Will they turn their back on their maker?
    What will happen to the night elves and blood elves whom carry the blood of trolls even if they are twisted by arcane?
    Where is the last Old God imprisoned and why hasn't he tried resurface yet?

    C'Thun wasn't in a Titan facility. Remember, the titans assumed C'thun to be dead as a doorknob. The 'facility' you're speaking of is in fact the Qiraji kingdom.

    I certainly wouldn't mind this. Personally I think that the fifth Old God is the one hinted to be under Vash'jir and corrupting L'ghorek which could fit in with your theory quite well depending on where Zandalar Isle happens to be.

    There is no 5th one, the 5th one is just remains of N'zoth when he was on land (hes in water or in between the dream right now or something)

    There are 5 chained old gods beneath the earth according to the WC III Manuel itself so there is a 5th one in addition to WoWpedia

    The Old Gods (also known as the Old-Gods,[1] Old Ones, Elder Gods, elder beings, dark elders, or dread elders) are a group of eldritch horrors who ruled the planet of Azeroth in the days before the titans arrived to shape and order it. The Pantheon shattered the Old Gods' citadels and chained the five evil gods far beneath the surface of the world

    Tol'vir built around C'thun corpse a Titan facility which got taken over by the Aqir, the Temple of AQ is in fact an Old Titan city.


    My guess: Trolls were around Azeroth before Old Gods & Titans, though Titans later empowered them to fight for them, in Shadows of the Horde it is stated that Vol'jin could read the Titanic Language on those Stone Tablets in the Dagger of the Dark Scenario and learned how he could instantly revert the Curse of Flesh on Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes through Shadow Hunter magic, since Shadow Hunter / Voodoo Magic is pretty much limited to Trolls i guess that these magics have titan roots.

    Well, I guess it depends on what the "Loa" actually are.

    There are theories that Ula-Tek that the ZA Trolls worship may have been an old god or (along with Hakkar) could be their offspring.

    I've always been curious about what the hell Elune actually is too. An old god? a Loa? Did she used to hang out with the old gods back before the titans came?

    I don't think there's any serious evidence for this, especially since it's impossible to even say whether the Old Gods or Titans were on Azeroth first. Also, "loa" doesn't need to be in all caps, and it's a really broad word that seems to basically just mean "spirit" in the general sense of anything otherwordly or ancient. It's similar to the Japanese use of "kami" (if you're familiar with the Shinto faith) in that it can be used to refer to a spirit that is god-like, but also things like a single wisp, or possibly even mortals who in their life time were very connected to the spirits (sen'jin).

    There's really no reason for the Darkspear to suddenly shift to Old god worship, even if they were created by the Old Gods, it'd be something their race did more than 15,000 years ago. That would be like humans/dwarves/gnomes suddenly deciding to obey every command of the Titans. The night elves and blood elves have even less of a connection, and even less of a reason to follow the worship that the ancestors of their ancestors followed.

    Location is sort of impossible to say, there isn't really a good systemic location system for the Old Gods. Presumably he has resurfaced in some regard or another, but hasn't been noticed yet, similar to how Yogg's (direct) corruption is isolated to Northrend, and Y'shaarj's to Pandaria.

    Wasn't there an old god burried somewhere below Lordaeron? I remember reading rumors about it a while ago.

    If this is true, how could a race like trolls stand up against old gods of such terrifying nature and their armies? That would mean their magic is much stronger than depicted and how come trolls easily so falls for foes like Heroes? After all, if they could fight in the midst of the war between the elements and the forces of the old gods and survive on a dark world like it was described as before titans came and made 'order'. It would essentially mean their race is far more superior than the makers of World of Warcraft wants to admit.

    But yes, it is a wait and see. But may I ask where you read that made you think that trolls was on azeroth before old gods even? But there is also something else that bothered me when I read the lore.

    C'thun seemingly wasn't worried about the existence of the Farraki trolls in Tanaris. Perhaps tehy were small and such but back shifting war of sands. This would essentially make the one of the enemies unless... They knew the race was actually a servant of old gods and didn't care to remove them from azeroth. And also the fact that Farraki trolls never participated in pushing back the Qiraji as they entered Tanaris.

    We also got the oddity of trolls being the only race that has the proper adaptive genes. Ice trolls have fur that protects them against the cold. Forest trolls has moss that protects them among the forests. Desert trolls have no fur but only skin, dry and sandpaper and makes them survive for a long period of time without water in the steaming heat of Tanaris. Jungle trolls have hide like a horse(Closest I can think) to both keep them warm but also allow them to survive in a jungle with different parasites and bugs. AFter all skinned creatures tends to get easier bitten by bugs and critters in comparison to animals with fur or hide. Cave trolls we haven't really seen but I would imagine their dark purple skin is made to make them easier to hide within teh depths of their caves and come out at night to hunt in the cover of the darkness.

    No other race have shown this great genes to adapt after their terrain of choice. Dwarves have shown some signs but they are all skin creatures and even thought they live in the heat and cold their skin colours seem to not give them any advantage in their terrains.

    And yes, regular trolls can become LOA if they are worshipped. The more worshippers and offering, the clearer their presence become. After all, the loa hierarchy in a troll community are the following; Personal loa -> Family loa(Ancestors usually) -> Tribe loa -> Empire/Faction loa.

    I don't think old gods see them as a threat in comparison to races that are created with the help of arcane like most titan created races and of course the twisted versions of trolls -> night elves, high elves, blood elves, highborne.

    I don't think Trolls have anything to do with the Old Gods. The Darkspears serve the Loa religiously and making them a part of the Old Gods would also turn Darkspears as the bad guys. Also, in the book Shadows of the Horde, Vol'jin negotiates a life of a Human Warrior from the Loa of Death, which means the Loa listens to their servants, which no Old God ever did to my knowledge.

    Why would you while fighting another Old God waste your time and resources to attack and kill a race you deem pathetic?

    There is something corrupting under Lordaeron but we have no idea what it is. Even Blizzard is still deciding what they want it to be.

    However, I do remember a theory that Hakkar himself is an Old God and that would certainly fit with an Old God army made of Trolls since many of them already worship him.

    This was a very, very old theory before more was known about Old Gods and the Loa.
    Hakkar is just the Loa of blood, although it is possible that he works with and or serves under N'zoth, due to his role in Eranikus falling to the Emerald Nightmare.

    Might as well mention. When the Qiraji rose to fight the life of existence on Kalimdor, the dragons came to help the night elves.

    But back 16000 years when the trolls fought Aqir, they never got the aid of the dragons.

    Why are the aspect of red, aspect of green and aspect of black not helping the trolls back then? After all, the Aqir wanted to vanquish all life that wasn't of Insectoid nature and was a threat to life, nature and earth. Why where the dragons so eager to help the night elves in comparison to trolls? Is it because trolls are not affliated with arcane or the makers of Titans so they just sit there, hoping the race would fight it self to death with Aqir so they both could be thrown away?

    For what reasons does the dragons have to look down on the troll race in comparison to all other races whom came into existence because of the titans meddling? Because if they were helping the titans back then. Surely the dragons would whom came into existence shortly after know of such and decide to help the race when it is in need?

    Because Trolls are, and have always been, filthy, dark-voodoo worshiping, cannibalistic savages.

    If that is true, why are Zandalari the least Savage race of the troll whom may perform cannibalistic stuff have more knowledge and history that dates back generations before Aqir fell in comparison to the dragons whom seemingly wont share or write a thing down? And even then. The zandalari chose to sacrifice enemies instead of their own which is not cannibalistic attitude.

    What? Plenty of cannibalistic and self-sacrificing cultures sacrifice their enemies too.
    It's basic logic that you sacrifice your captured enemies before your own people, because that makes your enemies weaker without harming your own strength.

    And what does the dragons being secretive have to do with the Zandalari? It's not like the Zandalari run around handing out info on how to use beast wards.

    That would be because up until 10,000 years ago the dragons could have cared less what the mortal races of Azeroth did. It wasn't until their own existence was threatened and they needed the help of mortals that they began to care. That would be why 16,000 years ago they did not intervene but 1,000 years ago they did.
