||
| − | It is self-evident however that the Old Gods possess worshippers across all the world's peoples and cultures somehow. The Old Gods are imprisoned and asleep deep beneath the earth, but their power is so vast that their maddening, destructive taint seeps from their prisons and appears to tear away at the sanity of an unknown number of Azeroth's inhabitants. To what extent sentient beings can fall under the influence of the Old Gods in this manner is not well understood, but those who hear the Old Whisperings most clearly have joined together in a coalition that is known as the [[Twilight's Hammer]]. Most of these cultists and followers have lost every ounce of their sanity and have become completely unpredictable and malefic, and, sometimes, things which are far worse. Through the leadership of the [[ogre-mage]] [[Cho'gall]], a powerful servant of C'Thun, the Twilight's Hammer has in recent times become the focal point for mortal worship of the Old Gods, and the cult's influence has since begun to increase alarmingly. Former members of both [[Alliance]] and [[Horde]] inexplicably flock to its service as if heeding a silent calling, and unrepentantly assist in bringing about the final hour of mortal existence on Azeroth. Large groups of the Twilight's Hammer have been observed to settle at or near sites where they believe the Old Gods or their minions are sealed away; many await C'Thun's awakening in [[Silithus]], while others appear to serve [[Ragnaros]] in the [[Blackrock Depths]] alongside the [[Dark Iron dwarves]].<ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 169</ref> The largest concentrations of the Twilight's Hammer however are located at [[Grim Batol]] and the [[Bastion of Twilight]], within a region of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] that is now referred to as the [[Twilight Highlands]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In some cases, evil but still sane individuals have been known to deliberately turn to worship of the Old Gods out of spite, when they feel that other, more mainstream powers have mistreated them. Anarchists also sometimes fall to worship of the Old Gods out of a desire to destroy the world; some believe a new, better existence will rise up in the wake of the destruction. In either case, these individuals are deluded or misinformed and any who do manage to make even the barest real contact with the Old Gods go hopelessly and irrevocably insane. |
||
| − | |||
| − | C'Thun created avatars from the [[silithid]] in its own image during ages long past. These avatars, known as the [[qiraji]], represent dark and powerful mockeries of life and have served as the Old God's heralds for millenia. Likewise, [[Yogg-Saron]] and [[N'Zoth]] are closely associated with the entities known only as [[Faceless One|Faceless Ones]], which appear to function as heralds and avatars to these Old Gods as well. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Queen Azshara]] and the bulk of her [[Highborne]] seem to have fallen to, or have struck a pact with, the power of an Old God and have since become the monstrous, serpent-like [[naga]]. The naga have been seen in the presence of Faceless Ones in regions as [[Vashj'ir]], suggesting that the darkest fears about the change which has overcome Azshara and many of the Highborne hold true. |
