The '''forces of the Old Gods''' are a vaguely united "faction" of all the entities and organizations that serve the [[Old Gods]]. This page is an attempt to list them. In recent times its members either serve the Old Gods directly, or just ally with [[Deathwing]], to achieve their own objectives with the support of the Old Gods.
Lady '''Jaina Proudmoore''' is the founder and leader of [[Theramore Isle]], the [[Alliance]]'s major port in southern [[Kalimdor]]. She is the daughter of {{npc||Daelin Proudmoore||Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore}}, sister of {{npc||Tandred Proudmoore}} and {{npc||Derek Proudmoore}}, and the alleged half-sister of {{npc||Finnall Goldensword}}. As such she is Princess of the Kingdom of [[Kul Tiras]], although she never uses the title. She is also the most powerful human sorceress on Azeroth.
 
   
  +
Although they suffered a crushing [[Old Gods#Ordering of Azeroth|defeat]] long ago, and the Old Gods along with most of their minions had been imprisoned, the [[Old Gods]]' activities on Azeroth have been steadily increasing, culminating in the [[Cataclysm]], when they launched a [[Elemental War|major offensive]] in a attempt to expand their influence and eventually reshape Azeroth to their wishes. As the Old Gods are behind most of the plots in Warcraft one way or another, this list of forces under their "control" is expansive.
Jaina was one of the most talented and trusted sorceresses of the [[Kirin Tor]]. She was dispatched by {{npc||Antonidas}} to discover what was happening in the northlands of [[Lordaeron]]. She was escorted by her childhood friend and one-time romantic interest, Prince {{npc||Arthas Menethil}}, to uncover if the plague had magical origins. Jaina saw the fall of Lordaeron firsthand and — guided by a {{npc||Medivh||mysterious prophet}} — rallied what survivors she could and fled across the sea to Kalimdor.
 
   
  +
==Membership==
Jaina swore to defeat the [[Burning Legion]] and its sinister agents any way she could. Joining forces with the night elves and even the orcish Horde, Jaina helped defeat the demon {{npc||Archimonde}} and banish the Legion. She then gathered the human survivors in Kalimdor and founded the port city of [[Theramore]]. She rules here over the tattered remnants of the Alliance and hopes to reunite the distant human kingdoms once more.<ref>{{ref book |author=Blizzard Entertainment |authorlink=Blizzard Entertainment |title=[[World of Warcraft]] manual |pages=170}}</ref>

At a young age, Jaina was enamored with tales of the [[Guardian]] {{npc||Aegwynn}}. When her magical talent was discovered and she was sent to [[Dalaran]], she badgered {{npc||Antonidas}} into accepting her as an apprentice, eventually becoming one of the few female wizards in direct service to Dalaran.

===={{NPC||Yogg-saron}}'s forces====
Because of their mutually royal heritage, it was inevitable that Jaina and Prince Arthas, the heir to the throne of Lordaeron, would meet. Over the years, they grew close as friends, and then romantically. They were very much in love with one another and were actually engaged to be married. But, eventually Arthas would question whether the two of them were ready to be together. Arthas would abruptly end the relationship so Jaina could focus on her magical studies in Dalaran and Arthas could focus on his commitments to Lordaeron. Jaina was very hurt by the decision, but did not fight him on it. She would soon realize and agree that it was the right thing to do at the time. Shortly after, they decided to rekindle their romance, but this was during the beginning of the [[Scourge]] invasion that would change both of their lives forever.

===Allied Factions===
Jaina and Arthas made their way back to central Lordaeron, and they stopped for rest at the small town of [[Hearthglen]]. However, when they arrived they discovered that the plague-infected grain from Andorhal had arrived and had been distributed amongst the townsfolk. They were transforming into the undead.

Jaina reluctantly, but hastily left to find {{npc||Uther}} for reinforcements. When she returned with the [[Silver Hand]] at her back, Hearthglen was all but destroyed, and Arthas was fighting a losing battle. With Uther's help, though, they managed to push back the undead attackers.

===Former allies===
Jaina and Uther followed him to [[Stratholme]], but didn't arrive in time to stop the townspeople from eating the tainted grain. All three knew that the people of Stratholme would soon become undead and attack them. Arthas was in favor of slaughtering the people before their transformation to purge the town, but Uther could not condone murdering helpless people whose only crime was being infected, even if leaving them alive meant they would soon become a threat. When Uther refused to kill the civilians as Arthas ordered, Arthas renounced him, accusing him of treason. He demanded that any true to the king stay with him and see to the town's destruction. Jaina turned and followed Uther to Arthas' surprise.

Jaina and Uther returned to Stratholme's burning ruins after Arthas had finished with it. Both were appalled at what they saw. Jaina was visited by the {{npc||Medivh||mysterious prophet}} who had previously attempted to reason with both {{npc||Terenas Menethil II||King Terenas}} and her mentor, Antonidas. The prophet sensed her leadership abilities and urged her to take the people she could with her to the west, fleeing Lordaeron and her home country of Kul Tiras. She realized that he had been right, and he encouraged her to gather her people and sail west for Kalimdor. Jaina decided to follow his words, and made preparations.
 
  +
** Used to work for the [[old god]]s before the imprisonment in the Elemental planes.
   
  +
==Organization and former members==
She left just as the invasion of Lordaeron began, saving thousands of citizens before they met their doom.
 
  +
Before the coming of the titans, the old gods had control over the elementals and they acted on the battlefield, the same cannot be said in current times when the old gods are still weakened by the titans' attack and imprisonment eons ago, they whisper and corrupt powerful individuals so their armies can help them complete the [[Hour of Twilight]], the mysterious objective of their forces.
   
  +
The Faceless ones and the forgotten ones directly serve the old gods and the old gods fancy Hydra demigods, like Akumai and Garhzilla has pets.
=== Arrival at Kalimdor ===
 
{{WC3-section}}
 
[[Image:Jaina.jpg|thumb|Jaina in Warcraft III.]]
 
[[Image:Jainaunit.JPG|thumb|Jaina in Warcraft III.]]
 
   
  +
[[Image:Skeram.JPG|thumb|right|Silithid led by a Qiraji Prophet]]
Upon arriving at Kalimdor, Jaina found that there were orcs there. Believing the Horde to having followed them from Lordaeron, Jaina began to battle with them, and {{npc||Grom Hellscream}} retaliated. After a disastrous battle with the Horde, Jaina set out to find somewhere where she could keep the orcs at bay. Not only was [[Stonetalon Peak]] a good defense, but also, she sensed a great power within. After being defeated while defending the mountain, Jaina led a small expedition into the mountain, with the hopes of finding some power that could help her defeat the orcs. But she sensed that they were being followed.
 
  +
===Ahn'Qiraj===
  +
Ahn'Qiraj is a fortress city in southern silithus, and it's the home of the qiraji a race descended from the aqir, that were shaped by C'thun, from the silithid. They first threatened the world with the War of the Shifting Sands, where they were sealed inside their own fortress city.<ref name="POC">[[Prophecy of C'Thun]]</ref>
   
  +
They tried a new offensive but utterly failed against the [[Might of Kalimdor]], ending with the death of the Twin Emperors, rulers of the qiraji, and with them their master C'thun.<ref>[[Quest:C'Thun's Legacy]]</ref>
Upon breaching the core of the mountain, Jaina stumbled upon {{npc||Thrall}} and {{npc||Cairne}}. They were about to battle when they were all suddenly confronted by the Oracle, who was actually the Prophet {{npc||Medivh}} they had met in Lordaeron. The Prophet Medivh implored them all to ally with each other, saying that they would not survive alone against the might of the Burning Legion.
 
   
  +
Cho'gall and the Twilight Hammer took over Ahn'Qiraj while he mutated, and tried using C'thun's corpse to corrupt the [[Med'an]] the soon-to-be Guardian.<ref>[[World of Warcraft: The Comic]], [[Hard Choices]]</ref>
Reluctantly, Jaina agreed to ally her forces with Thrall's. Jaina gave him a [[Soul Gem (WC3)|Soul Gem]], which he used to capture Grom's essence as the invasion of Kalimdor began. Then, she helped him purge Grom of the demonic curse that had gripped him.
 
   
  +
===Ulduar's Corruption and the Iron Army===
Jaina and Thrall continued as allies, although their forces were not very eager about it, even after Hellscream's death. They were terrorized by the [[undead]], but also by the night elves' deadly hit-and-run attacks. Though their alliance with one another kept them alive, they were only holding on by a thread.
 
  +
Ulduar is where the old god Yogg-Saron was sealed, but it wasn't strong enough to stop his influence from spreading over the milleniums, corrupting the Prime-designate Loken<ref name="DWU">[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/dungeons/wrath-ulduar.xml Ulduar Dungeons]</ref>, the other [[Titanic watcher]]s (Frejya, Hodir, Mimiron and Thorim)<ref>[[Quest:The Reckoning (Storm Peaks)]]</ref><ref>[[Quest:Fate of the Titans]]</ref>, and other titanic constructs, like giants<ref name="Q:MF">[[Quest:Mending Fences]]</ref><ref name="Q:DO">[[Quest:Diametrically Opposed]]</ref><ref name="bosstiary"> and mechagnomes and their creations<ref>[[Quest:Slaves of the Stormforged]]</ref>.
   
  +
With control over the Forge of Wills, the corrupted Loken started creating a new army like many other's of the titan's creation's (earthen, giants and vrykul) but made of iron instead of stone and empowered by runes.<ref>http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25626575587&sid=1</ref>
Finally, Thrall received a vision. Jaina followed him to where he was instructed to go, where they found the leaders of the night elves, {{npc||Malfurion Stormrage}} and {{npc||Tyrande Whisperwind}}. The Prophet appeared, and revealed himself to be none other than {{npc||Medivh}}, returned to correct his mistakes of old. He implored the humans, orcs and night elves to all join forces against the Legion, or they would all fall alone. They all agreed to defend Mount Hyjal together.
 
   
  +
However the Explorers League together with the Kirin Tor and the Horde mounted an offensive against Yogg-Saron's forces and managed to kill him and save the corrupted watchers, except for Loken which was killed earlier by heroes in the [[Halls of Lightning]], and with the death of the Prime designate, Algalon the observer came to Azeroth to judge its corruption in order to re-originate it.
Jaina used her teleportation spells to scout out the surrounding area, and found that {{npc||Archimonde}} and his doom guard were quickly making their way up the mountain. The defenders instituted three bases going up the mountain in an effort to halt his ascent.
 
   
  +
===Deathwing servants===
Jaina's base was the first in Archimonde's path, and so it was the first to go, but before he could kill her, Jaina spirited herself out of Archimonde's clutches. The next base to go was Thrall's, and Jaina used her remaining energy to teleport Thrall from his base before Archimonde destroyed him, so that they could live to fight another day.
 
  +
Neltharion the Earthwarder was corrupted during the War of the Ancients into the service of the Old Gods, and with him his dragonflight, and renamed himself Deathwing. <ref name="MG">''[[Monster Guide]]'', 39, 41</ref>
   
  +
However he suffered wounds too great in the events of the [[Day of the Dragon]] and had to retreat into Deepholm to heal himself<ref>[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/stonecore.html Dungeon:Stonecore]</ref>, beating the stone dragons into submission to serve him<ref name="Q:DSM">[[Quest:Don't. Stop. Moving.]]</ref>, in his absence Sintharia his mate, and his two sons Onyxia and Nefarian took over his dragonflight.
=== Founding Theramore ===
 
{{WC3-section}}
 
Following the Legion's defeat on Mount Hyjal, Jaina took her refugees to an island outpost off the eastern coast of Kalimdor, newly named Theramore.
 
   
  +
Onyxia tried to control Stormwind much like his father tried to control Lordaeron, but was eventually found and killed by Varian in her lair.<ref name="WOW:TC">''[[World of Warcraft: The Comic]]''</ref>
The exact time of Theramore's founding isn't clear (sources differ as to whether it was founded before or after the Battle of Mt. Hyjal), but the role of the citadel is important in the tale of the founding of the orc nation, Durotar.
 
   
  +
Nefarian tried to create a new army, he recruited the many races of the Dark Horde, and stole the eggs of the other dragonflights and created the short lived Chromatic Dragonflight, among other experiments, he was killed by heroes.<ref>[[Blackrock Spire]]</ref><ref>[[Blackwing Lair]]</ref>
When {{npc||Rexxar}} demanded an explanation of the humans encroaching on Durotar and the assassination attempt, Jaina denied all knowledge. When Jaina agreed to help the [[Mok'Nathal]] investigate, they discovered the accusatory outpost was under attack from naga. After an encounter with a dying marine, Jaina realized with horror that her father had decided to pay her a visit. Jaina pleaded with the Admiral to spare Rexxar, but Daelin would have none of it. Rexxar and his companions escaped, and Thrall rallied an army to push back Proudmoore's assault.
 
   
  +
Sintharia travelled to Outland to recruit the Fel Horde<ref>Meeting with Overlord Mor'ghor</ref>, and experimented with egg of the Nether dragonflight to create the most powerful dragons in Azeroth: the Twilight dragons, however she was killed by her own creation Dargonax.<ref name="NOTD">''[[Night of the Dragon]]''</ref>
Jaina was in despair. While she felt loyalty to her father and her nation, her experience with the Scourge and the Legion convinced her that petty hatreds and vendettas such as her father's were immaterial in the grand scheme. Jaina helped the Horde gain ships from the goblins and ordered her own troops to stand down when they [[A Blaze of Glory#Theramore City|assaulted Theramore]]. Jaina's last words to her father were to ask why he didn't listen.
 
   
  +
With the Cataclysm, Deathwing and his flight returned and resurrected Sinestra and Nefarian as undead, the latter which resurrected his sister onyxia, reinforced by Sinestra creation the Twilight Dragonflight, they allied with the elemental lords, Ragnaros of the Firelands, and Al'akir of the Skywall, and together with the Twilight Hammer they work to bring the [[Hour of Twilight]].<ref name="EJ">[[Encounter Journal]]</ref>
=== Cycle of Hatred ===
 
Theramore and Durotar remained at relative peace for three years, though the two former archenemies were still wary of each other. Eventually, a series of minor shipping incidents led to extreme tension between the two powers, enough so that the [[goblin]]s, who controlled the region's only neutral port, complained.
 
   
  +
===Emerald Nightmare===
Despite the tension, Thrall requested Jaina's aid in relocating a herd of thunder lizards displaced by a mysterious logging operation at Thunder Ridge. Jaina intended to relocate the lizards to a largely unpopulated region on the far side of Mulgore, but was astonished to discover that the area was magically warded to protect its single inhabitant: {{npc||Aegwynn}}.
 
  +
The emerald nightmare is a infection of corruption in the emerald dream, a realm designed as the titans plans for Azeroth, sparked by the Old God N'Zoth<ref name="BC2010">[http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/2035-Blizzcon-2010-WoW-Quests-and-Lore-Panel Blizzcon 2010 - WoW Quests and Lore Panel]</ref>. It turns the native fey creatures into "Corrupted Ones" and makes sleeping people into "Unwaking". This also turned some of Ysera's noble brood into shadows of their former selves, and even inspiring reverence and granting power to some of the more twisted druids. <ref name="S&L147">[[Shadows & Light]]'', 147</ref>
   
  +
It's led by the Nightmare Lord Xavius, the first satyr, but was beaten back to the Rift of Aln by Malfurion. however the Nightmare still influences Azeroth, as shown by the regrowth in Southern Barrens during the ''Cataclysm''.<ref name="STORM">[[World of Warcraft: Stormrage]]</ref>
The former Guardian brushed off Jaina's admiration, but filled in the gaps of what had been happening amidst the tensions between Theramore and Durotar: a minor demon, {{npc||Zmodlor}} had revived the [[Burning Blade clan]] and was playing the two powers against each other.
 
   
  +
===Twilight Hammer Cult===
Jaina and Aegwynn hastily returned to Theramore, where they discovered that Jaina's own chamberlain had been corrupted by the Burning Blade. After dealing with the turncoat, they took on Zmodlor himself. Unfortunately, the demon was backed by a small cabal of warlocks. Jaina was nearly slain by the added strain, but Aegwynn was able to use her own life-force to support her, and Jaina was able to defeat the warlocks and banish Zmodlor back to the Twisting Nether. After the crisis had passed, Jaina and Thrall set about writing a permanent non-aggression pact to ensure that the mutual distrust of their peoples' never escalated into war again.
 
  +
The Twilight Hammer Cult is a former orcish clan off the planet [[Draenor]] that has turned into a destructive cult hell-bent of reshaping the world of Azeroth. Originally based in Sithilus in the mist of the cataclysm they have been found to recruit member of both the Alliance and The Horde with doomsayers claiming the destruction of the world itself and promising its members glory and power. Other then the Horde and Alliance they have influenced weaker or desperate factions, including the almost extinct sand trolls and the rebellious dark iron dwarves, led by Cho'gall and the Twilight Council, they attempt to claim the Twilight Highlands for the Old Gods who they believe the world's true masters, and eventually all of Azeroth itself.<ref name="DF162">''[[Dark Factions]]'', 162</ref><ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 169</ref><ref>[[The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm]]</ref>
   
  +
===Empire of Nazjatar===
Against all odds, Aegwynn survived, and assumed the duties left by Jaina's chamberlain.
 
  +
In the end of the war of the ancients, after the shattering happened, queen azshara and the highborne tried their best to keep the waters at bay, but struck a pact with a mysterious power that turned them into the reptile Naga.<ref>[http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/encyclopedia/487.xml Warcraft Encyclopedia:Naga]</ref>
   
  +
Now as underwater inhabitants in a sunken city they worked their way into shaping a underwater empire, enslaving many aquatic races like murlocs, and taming many beasts like tube wyrms, coualt, dragon turles and snap dragons, with Azshara leading them and against beings like [[Leviroth]] and the [[Kvaldir]]<ref>[[Quest:The Emissary]]</ref>.
===World of Warcraft: The Comic===

In recent times they have begun invading land, controlling the echo isles<ref>[[Zar'jira]]</ref>, and some supported [[Illidan]] in the outlands before his death in the hands of Akama and Maiev<ref>[[Lady Vashj]]</ref>.
Jaina appears in ''[[World of Warcraft: The Comic]]'', assisting {{npc||Varian Wrynn}} in remembering his true identity with the help of her chamberlain, [[Aegwynn]], and bringing [[Onyxia]] to justice.
 
   
  +
In the Cataclysm they have begun a campaign in Vash'jir against the elemental lord of water, Neptulon and his servants in a attempt to obtain his trident that controls the seas, and his realm the Abyssal maws<ref>[[Quest:A Revenant's Vengeance]]</ref>.
She would later become a founding member of the [[New Council of Tirisfal]]. The previously defunct organization was re-established in order to aid [[Med'an]] in combating [[Cho'gall]] and the [[Twilight's Hammer]] Cult.

===Elemental Planes===
==World of Warcraft==
 
  +
In ages past, the Old Gods controlled the elementals through their lieutenants, the elemental lords. However, the lieutenants were defeated by the Titans, and then imprisoned within the Elemental Planes.<ref name="S&L99">''[[Shadows & Light]]'', 99</ref>
===Wrath of the Lich King===
 
{{Wotlk-section}}
 
After the death of {{npc||Bolvar Fordragon}}, King {{npc||Varian Wrynn}} prepared the forces of the Alliance for all-out war against the Horde. Desperate to avoid a ''Fourth'' War, Jaina teleported to Orgrimmar to uncover the truth of the recent events in Northrend. There she learned from {{npc||Sylvanas Windrunner}} that an uprising broke out and that {{npc||Varimathras}} had taken control over the [[Undercity]]. Thrall assured Jaina that the Horde had no official interest in a war against the Alliance and that he would take care of the traitor. Jaina agreed to try to stop Varian, but warned him that it would not be easy — the late Highlord was like a brother to the king.
 
   
  +
Nowadays, the Old Gods have little control over the elementals. Only Al'akir and Ragnaros allied with Deathwing, the Old Gods' tool, while Therazane and Neptulon directly oppose them.<ref name="EJ">[[Encounter Journal]]</ref>
Jaina's assessment proved correct as the forces of Thrall ({{Quest|The Battle For The Undercity (Horde)|attempting to regain control of Undercity}}) and King Wrynn (hoping to reclaim it as Lordaeron for the Alliance and {{Quest|The Battle For The Undercity (Alliance)|bring Putress to justice}}) clashed at Undercity. Refusing to allow the Horde and the Alliance to descend into open war, Jaina stopped the Alliance army cold (literally) and teleported them back to Stormwind.
 
   
====Secrets of Ulduar====
+
====Skywall and Al'akir====
  +
Free from the imprisonment of the Skywall, Al'akir and his air elementals quickly joined forces with Deathwing in a attempt to obtain the re-origination device the titans left in Uldum. To fight the Tol'vir, his ancient enemies, he called the support of the Conclave of the Winds and Skywall's many denizens.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/zone/throne-of-the-four-winds/ Raid:Throne of the Four Winds]</ref>
[[Image:Jaina Ulduar Trailer.jpg|thumb|Jaina in the Violet Citadel.]]
 
   
  +
==== Firelands and Ragnaros ====
When {{npc||Brann Bronzebeard}} learned that {{npc||Yogg-Saron}} had escaped his ancient prison in [[Ulduar]], {{npc||Rhonin}} and Jaina called a conference of Alliance and Horde leaders at the [[Violet Citadel]]. As Rhonin debriefed {{npc||Varian Wrynn}} on the situation, Jaina noticed that Thrall and {{npc||Garrosh Hellscream}} had arrived early, and attempted to halt them before another confrontation was started. She was unable to stop Varian and Garrosh from coming to blows however and King Wrynn left, refusing to work with the Horde at all after the events at the [[Wrathgate]]. Jaina wondered aloud who was left to challenge Yogg-Saron.[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p1/index.xml#ulduartrailer]

Ragnaros allied with Deathwing when he was promised to burn Azeroth together with his minions, without Therazane or Neptulon interference, he decided to start with the world tree of Nordrassil with the support of the Twilight Hammer<ref name="EJ">[[Encounter journal]]</ref>, prompting the druids of the [[Cenarion Circle]] and the [[Ancient Guardian]]s to oppose him, he was beaten back to the Firelands by [[Cenarius]], [[Hamuul]] and [[Malfurion]]<ref>[[Quest:The Firelord]]</ref>, and after some days of preparations, the druids are prepared to [[Firelands Invasion|invade the Firelands]] and kill Ragnaros forever.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2685001#blog|Patch 4.2 preview]</ref>

====Icecrown Citadel====
 
=====The Frozen Halls=====
 
[[File:Jaina Proudmoore TCG.jpg|thumb|Jaina in The Frozen Halls (Image from WoW TCG).]]
 
Jaina later arrived at the [[Frozen Halls]] to confront the {{npc||Lich King}} and attempt to reason with the Dark Lord, in hopes of releasing the spirit of her lost love, {{npc||Arthas}}. She guided a small group of [[Alliance]] heroes through the halls of Icecrown Citadel and eventually arrived at the [[Halls of Reflection]]. Within the private chambers of the Lich King, Jaina and her troupe discovered [[Frostmourne]], the blade that stole Arthas' soul and led to the fall of [[Kingdom of Lordaeron|Lordaeron]]. Jaina communed with the souls stolen from Frostmourne and much to her surprise, {{npc||Uther the Lightbringer}} appeared and told her a terrible truth. Not only did he inform her that Arthas was nothing but a small glimmer of light that stayed the Lich King's wrath, but in order to protect [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], the Lich King would have to be killed and a replacement would have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
 
   
  +
====Abyssal Maw and Neptulon ====
Suddenly, the Lich King entered the chambers and Uther was sucked back into Frostmourne. The Lich King coldly acknowledged Jaina while removing Frostmourne from its pedestal. The Lich King summoned {{npc||Falric}} and {{npc||Marwyn}}, two captains Jaina fought alongside during the [[Third War]]. As The Lich King retreated to his private chambers and sicked the captains on her allies, Jaina remained determined to save Arthas and pursued him as the doors behind her closed. Following the defeat of the two captains, Jaina's allies rushed to her aid only to find her on the verge of defeat, with her former love viciously attacking her. Heartbroken, Jaina and her allies fled down the [[Hidden Passage]] with the Lich King in steady pursuit. As they came to a cliff, the ''[[Skybreaker]]'' flew in and rescued them at the last moment.

Neptulon was attacked by the naga backed by the old god's faceless ones, in a attempt to conquer his realm, and after a confrontation with [[Lady Nazjar]] and [[Ozumat]] he was beaten back to the Abyssal Maw, the heroes attempted to rescue him<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/zone/throne-of-the-tides/ Dungeon:Throne of the Tides]</ref>, but ultimately failed as Neptulon was quickly taken away by Ozumat.<ref>[[Ozumat]]</ref>

===Beyond Azeroth===
  +
More old gods exist beyond the five of azeroth, but it takes significant power to summon them<ref name="AC1">[[Ask CDev#Ask CDev #1 Answers - Round 1|Ask CDev 1]]</ref>, and their influence can be seen, mostly in the [[Outlands]].
[[File:Jaina TCG.jpg|thumb]]
 
After the [[Deathbringer Saurfang|Deathbringer]] was slain by a team of Alliance adventurers, [[Muradin Bronzebeard]], fresh from the [[Gunship Battle]], was unwilling to allow [[Varok Saurfang]] to retrieve his son's corpse. But when King Varian and Lady Jaina teleported to the scene, Varian ordered Muradin to step side and let a grieving father pass, to which Jaina burst into tears out of respect for her King.
 
   
  +
The [[Sethekk]] and the [[Dark Conclave]] [[Arakkoa]] serve a mysterious master, and the latter group, magically augmented by [[Gul'dan]]'s curse, attempt to summon their master, which they call it a ancient and powerful evil. He looks similar to C'thun, another old god, and when the hidden mob name is revealed, he's called a [[Summoned Old God]].<ref name="AC1">[[Ask CDev#Ask CDev #1 Answers - Round 1|Ask CDev 1]]</ref>
Should an adventurer bring [[Jaina's Locket]] to her following the Lich King's defeat, she weeps, stating that she knew there was still some part of Arthas trapped within the Lich King.
 
   
  +
The [[Black Blood of Draenor]] are oozes and the oozes of azeroth have been various times associated with the old gods, and it's very similar in name to [[Black Blood of Yogg-Saron]], a ore made from the blood of the Old god Yogg-Saron.<ref name="Q:AABOO">[[Quest:... and a Batch of Ooze]]</ref>
===Cataclysm===

She was present at the [[Elemental Unrest meetings|Elemental Unrest meeting]]. During the [[Elemental Unrest|Elemental Invasion]], Jaina protected the [[Mage Quarter]] from the Elements.
 
   
  +
[[Harbinger Skyriss]] is a servant of the old gods, a qiraji prophet much like [[Prophet Skeram]] of Ahn'qiraj, is imprisoned in the [[Arcatraz]] of [[Tempest Keep]]. According to [[A'dal]], he seeks to usher his masters' vision of conquering all of the worlds in the universe. <ref>[[Quest:Harbinger of Doom]]</ref>
Shortly before the [[shattering]], [[Alliance]] forces streamed out of [[Theramore]] to attack the [[Barrens]]. Jaina's role in this conflict is curiously unknown, as no reference has been given to her attitude towards it or input. This is likely due to [[Dustwallow]] not being updated.

Strangers often confuse Jaina’s independence and strength of spirit for a rash personality and headstrong disposition. However, the truth of the matter is that she has developed an uncanny ability to read people and identify their underlying motives and intentions. She is a true champion of her people and will do anything in her power, including laying down her own life, to ensure their survival. Jaina respects life in all its forms, and will refuse to see harm come to any innocent in her presence. She prefers action over words, leading her to develop a great admiration for Thrall’s success in founding Durotar and a deep resentment of the unending, fruitless debate among the members of the High Council of Lordaeron.

==Speculation==
Life on Theramore Isle is fairly insular, but Jaina welcomes visitors with warm lodging and hearty meals in exchange for stories about the outside world. Her people are simple, with most spending their days as kelp farmers or fishermen. In exchange for information or artifacts that might improve the lives of her people, Jaina has been known to provide arcane assistance to visitors, including occasionally teleporting travelers great distances, summoning elementals to guide them on their journeys or warding them with enchantments. In the event that her people are faced with a dire threat, Jaina will voluntarily accompany or aid adventurers who share her goal of protecting Theramore Isle.<ref>{{ref book |author=Arthaus |title=[[Shadows & Light]] |isbn=9781588469731 |pages=48,49}}</ref>
 
 
Like Thrall, Jaina is an advocate of peace and moderation between the Alliance and Horde. Before Varian's return, Jaina was arguably the ''de facto'' or informal ruler of the Alliance. Wrynn feels that the Horde cannot be trusted, and so this inevitably places him and Jaina in a position of opposition. Jaina has not confronted him about this directly, however, and when she has communicated with Thrall more recently, she has generally been seen doing so in secret.
 
 
It is also shown that Jaina is still haunted by Arthas' descending to darkness thinking it was her fault.
 
 
Against mortal foes, Jaina is merciful and tries to capture or force a surrender. Against demons and undead, Jaina is ruthless and uses her spells to their maximum potential for damage. She prefers to remain at great range.<ref>{{ref book |author=Arthaus |title=[[Shadows & Light]] |isbn=9781588469731 |pages=49}}</ref>
 
 
== Relationships ==
 
=== Kael'thas ===
 
It would appear that {{npc||Kael'thas}} fell in love with her during Jaina's training with {{npc||Antonidas}} but their differences in their age (she was a teenager and he was several centuries old) filled him with guilt and self-doubt. When he eventually did approach her, she was at such a juncture that her studies came first.
 
 
=== Arthas ===
 
A few months later, rumors of her relationship with Arthas began to circulate. She and {{npc||Arthas}} came to share a strong friendship that lead to very serious romance. But initially, their duties to Dalaran and Lordaeron forced them to put things on hold for a time. When they attempted to rekindle, the Scourge invasion got in the way. Their relationship is shown in the novel ''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]''. It is also shown that Jaina is still haunted by Arthas' descending to darkness thinking it was her fault. In the quest {{Quest|Frostmourne (Alliance)|Frostmourne}}, it is hinted that she is still in love with him.
 
 
=== Thrall ===
 
 
{{speculation}}
 
{{speculation}}
After Jaina and Thrall's forces were forced to work together after the meeting with Medivh, the two leaders soon became good friends. Thrall stated that Jaina reminds him strongly of {{npc||Taretha Foxton}}, but Jaina has stated no specific reason for her trust in Thrall. Their relationship is nonetheless strong, even having endured the battle of Durotar, which cost Jaina her father and Thrall many of his warriors. They still consider each other allies.
 
   
  +
===Capital?===
A number of fans have speculated that Thrall and Jaina will be romantically involved at some point. This seems unlikely however, as with the coming of Cataclysm Thrall develops a romantic relationship with a Mag'har orc named [[Aggra]]. The ''[[Warcraft RPG]]'' confirms that rumors of a prior relationship are false.
 
  +
It can be argued that the [[Old Gods]]' prisons are the capitals of their forces. They are:<br/>
 
  +
[[Temple of Ahn'Qiraj|Chamber of C'Thun]], [[Ahn'Qiraj]] (formerly) - C'Thun's location<br/>
The {{item|White Punch Card}} that drops in [[Gnomeregan]] for the Alliance quest {{Quest|Data Rescue}} has many lines of binary code printed on it. When decoded, it reads "Thrall and Jaina sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G", an in-game joke for the fans.
 
  +
[[Prison of Yogg-Saron]], [[Ulduar]] - Yogg-Saron's location<br/>
 
  +
The [[Rift of Aln]] and the [[Rift]] of [[N'Zoth]] - N'Zoth's location<br/>
== Tactics ==
 
  +
Presumed other locations of other Old Lords.
Jaina is easy to underestimate for a mage and lack of elite guards. Her fireballs and frostbolts only hit for between 3k and 6k, while her melee swings can hit for close to 10k. One tank won't cut it here either, she will teleport her current target to a pool of water outside of her tower every 30 seconds or so. The best recommendation here is to have at least 3 tanks and 4 healers. AoE is also in dire need as she will summon water elementals in spades, while they are weak, if you let them get too numerous they can disrupt healers. She also has an instant cast Blizzard that ticks for roughly 2k and should be moved out of promptly. Last, but rarely seen, is a Fireblast that can hit for 6k, this can be cast at any time so keeping the tank well healed is vital.
 
 
Jaina is usually undefended since she is not a part of the {{achievement|For The Horde!}} achievement, but if the tank that gets teleported is alone they can be an easy target for one or two Alliance players, and without tanks Jaina can dispatch the rest of the raid with no help at all from Alliance players.
 
 
Should the raid see success Jaina is known for carrying between 60 and 80 gold or more and will respawn very quickly making her a viable gold farm though she will not give honor when killed. This was later ruled as an exploit after many suspensions, and has since been fixed.

The forces of the Old Gods are a vaguely united "faction" of all the entities and organizations that serve the Old Gods. This page is an attempt to list them. In recent times its members either serve the Old Gods directly, or just ally with Deathwing, to achieve their own objectives with the support of the Old Gods.

Although they suffered a crushing defeat long ago, and the Old Gods along with most of their minions had been imprisoned, the Old Gods' activities on Azeroth have been steadily increasing, culminating in the Cataclysm, when they launched a major offensive in a attempt to expand their influence and eventually reshape Azeroth to their wishes. As the Old Gods are behind most of the plots in Warcraft one way or another, this list of forces under their "control" is expansive.

Membership

Major Members

Old God's creatures and creations

The old gods have spawned and favoured many creatures throughout the ages for their servitude:

The Twilight's Hammer cult

A cult created out of the now defunct Twilight's Hammer orcish clan, they now enslave the elements around them and give their lives for promises of eternal power.

Black Dragonflight and the Servants of Deathwing

Yogg-saron's forces

C'thun's forces

  • C'thun a wounded old god sealed himself in ahn'qiraj to heal himself and shaped a ancient race to his purposes.

Empire of Nazjatar

The Emerald Nightmare

Allied Factions

The Firelands minions of Ragnaros

The Skywall minions of Al'akir

Former allies

Organization and former members

Before the coming of the titans, the old gods had control over the elementals and they acted on the battlefield, the same cannot be said in current times when the old gods are still weakened by the titans' attack and imprisonment eons ago, they whisper and corrupt powerful individuals so their armies can help them complete the Hour of Twilight, the mysterious objective of their forces.

The Faceless ones and the forgotten ones directly serve the old gods and the old gods fancy Hydra demigods, like Akumai and Garhzilla has pets.

File:Skeram.JPG

Silithid led by a Qiraji Prophet

Ahn'Qiraj

Ahn'Qiraj is a fortress city in southern silithus, and it's the home of the qiraji a race descended from the aqir, that were shaped by C'thun, from the silithid. They first threatened the world with the War of the Shifting Sands, where they were sealed inside their own fortress city.[36]

They tried a new offensive but utterly failed against the Might of Kalimdor, ending with the death of the Twin Emperors, rulers of the qiraji, and with them their master C'thun.[64]

Cho'gall and the Twilight Hammer took over Ahn'Qiraj while he mutated, and tried using C'thun's corpse to corrupt the Med'an the soon-to-be Guardian.[65]

Ulduar's Corruption and the Iron Army

Ulduar is where the old god Yogg-Saron was sealed, but it wasn't strong enough to stop his influence from spreading over the milleniums, corrupting the Prime-designate Loken[26], the other Titanic watchers (Frejya, Hodir, Mimiron and Thorim)[66][67], and other titanic constructs, like giants[30][31]Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag.

With control over the Forge of Wills, the corrupted Loken started creating a new army like many other's of the titan's creation's (earthen, giants and vrykul) but made of iron instead of stone and empowered by runes.[68]

However the Explorers League together with the Kirin Tor and the Horde mounted an offensive against Yogg-Saron's forces and managed to kill him and save the corrupted watchers, except for Loken which was killed earlier by heroes in the Halls of Lightning, and with the death of the Prime designate, Algalon the observer came to Azeroth to judge its corruption in order to re-originate it.

Deathwing servants

Neltharion the Earthwarder was corrupted during the War of the Ancients into the service of the Old Gods, and with him his dragonflight, and renamed himself Deathwing. [17]

However he suffered wounds too great in the events of the Day of the Dragon and had to retreat into Deepholm to heal himself[69], beating the stone dragons into submission to serve him[24], in his absence Sintharia his mate, and his two sons Onyxia and Nefarian took over his dragonflight.

Onyxia tried to control Stormwind much like his father tried to control Lordaeron, but was eventually found and killed by Varian in her lair.[7]

Nefarian tried to create a new army, he recruited the many races of the Dark Horde, and stole the eggs of the other dragonflights and created the short lived Chromatic Dragonflight, among other experiments, he was killed by heroes.[70][71]

Sintharia travelled to Outland to recruit the Fel Horde[72], and experimented with egg of the Nether dragonflight to create the most powerful dragons in Azeroth: the Twilight dragons, however she was killed by her own creation Dargonax.[20]

With the Cataclysm, Deathwing and his flight returned and resurrected Sinestra and Nefarian as undead, the latter which resurrected his sister onyxia, reinforced by Sinestra creation the Twilight Dragonflight, they allied with the elemental lords, Ragnaros of the Firelands, and Al'akir of the Skywall, and together with the Twilight Hammer they work to bring the Hour of Twilight.[16]

Emerald Nightmare

The emerald nightmare is a infection of corruption in the emerald dream, a realm designed as the titans plans for Azeroth, sparked by the Old God N'Zoth[55]. It turns the native fey creatures into "Corrupted Ones" and makes sleeping people into "Unwaking". This also turned some of Ysera's noble brood into shadows of their former selves, and even inspiring reverence and granting power to some of the more twisted druids. [54]

It's led by the Nightmare Lord Xavius, the first satyr, but was beaten back to the Rift of Aln by Malfurion. however the Nightmare still influences Azeroth, as shown by the regrowth in Southern Barrens during the Cataclysm.[56]

Twilight Hammer Cult

The Twilight Hammer Cult is a former orcish clan off the planet Draenor that has turned into a destructive cult hell-bent of reshaping the world of Azeroth. Originally based in Sithilus in the mist of the cataclysm they have been found to recruit member of both the Alliance and The Horde with doomsayers claiming the destruction of the world itself and promising its members glory and power. Other then the Horde and Alliance they have influenced weaker or desperate factions, including the almost extinct sand trolls and the rebellious dark iron dwarves, led by Cho'gall and the Twilight Council, they attempt to claim the Twilight Highlands for the Old Gods who they believe the world's true masters, and eventually all of Azeroth itself.[73][74][75]

Empire of Nazjatar

In the end of the war of the ancients, after the shattering happened, queen azshara and the highborne tried their best to keep the waters at bay, but struck a pact with a mysterious power that turned them into the reptile Naga.[76]

Now as underwater inhabitants in a sunken city they worked their way into shaping a underwater empire, enslaving many aquatic races like murlocs, and taming many beasts like tube wyrms, coualt, dragon turles and snap dragons, with Azshara leading them and against beings like Leviroth and the Kvaldir[77].

In recent times they have begun invading land, controlling the echo isles[78], and some supported Illidan in the outlands before his death in the hands of Akama and Maiev[79].

In the Cataclysm they have begun a campaign in Vash'jir against the elemental lord of water, Neptulon and his servants in a attempt to obtain his trident that controls the seas, and his realm the Abyssal maws[80].

Elemental Planes

In ages past, the Old Gods controlled the elementals through their lieutenants, the elemental lords. However, the lieutenants were defeated by the Titans, and then imprisoned within the Elemental Planes.[81]

Nowadays, the Old Gods have little control over the elementals. Only Al'akir and Ragnaros allied with Deathwing, the Old Gods' tool, while Therazane and Neptulon directly oppose them.[16]

Skywall and Al'akir

Free from the imprisonment of the Skywall, Al'akir and his air elementals quickly joined forces with Deathwing in a attempt to obtain the re-origination device the titans left in Uldum. To fight the Tol'vir, his ancient enemies, he called the support of the Conclave of the Winds and Skywall's many denizens.[82]

Firelands and Ragnaros

Ragnaros allied with Deathwing when he was promised to burn Azeroth together with his minions, without Therazane or Neptulon interference, he decided to start with the world tree of Nordrassil with the support of the Twilight Hammer[16], prompting the druids of the Cenarion Circle and the Ancient Guardians to oppose him, he was beaten back to the Firelands by Cenarius, Hamuul and Malfurion[83], and after some days of preparations, the druids are prepared to invade the Firelands and kill Ragnaros forever.[84]

Deepholm and Therazane

Therazane however hasn't liked the old gods plans for Deepholm her prison, after Deathwing broke the world pillar, endangering her plane and azeroth [85], and a invasion by the twilight hammer[86], she and her kin made a temporary alliance with the earthen ring to solve those problems[87], that the old gods indirectly caused.

After the pillar is rebuilt she requests the Hero for help her rebuild Deepholm, damaged by the old gods' forces.[88]

Abyssal Maw and Neptulon

Neptulon was attacked by the naga backed by the old god's faceless ones, in a attempt to conquer his realm, and after a confrontation with Lady Nazjar and Ozumat he was beaten back to the Abyssal Maw, the heroes attempted to rescue him[89], but ultimately failed as Neptulon was quickly taken away by Ozumat.[90]

Beyond Azeroth

More old gods exist beyond the five of azeroth, but it takes significant power to summon them[41], and their influence can be seen, mostly in the Outlands.

The Sethekk and the Dark Conclave Arakkoa serve a mysterious master, and the latter group, magically augmented by Gul'dan's curse, attempt to summon their master, which they call it a ancient and powerful evil. He looks similar to C'thun, another old god, and when the hidden mob name is revealed, he's called a Summoned Old God.[41]

The Black Blood of Draenor are oozes and the oozes of azeroth have been various times associated with the old gods, and it's very similar in name to Black Blood of Yogg-Saron, a ore made from the blood of the Old god Yogg-Saron.[6]

Harbinger Skyriss is a servant of the old gods, a qiraji prophet much like Prophet Skeram of Ahn'qiraj, is imprisoned in the Arcatraz of Tempest Keep. According to A'dal, he seeks to usher his masters' vision of conquering all of the worlds in the universe. [91]
