− | ==Biography== |
||
− | {{novel-section}} |
||
− | Kurdran Wildhammer — [[Gryphon Rider]] of [[Northeron]]<ref>[[Beyond the Dark Portal missions#VI. The Fall of Auchindoun]]</ref> — was the Chief Thane of the [[Wildhammer Clan]], and the [[Hinterlands]]{{cite|ToD|161}} During the [[Second War]], the Orcish [[Horde]] led by [[Orgrim Doomhammer]] invaded the Wildhammer homeland. Kurdran was one of the first dwarves to spot the invaders and initiate battle. Soon he was aided by the forces of the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]], and together they fought the bloodthirsty horde. Kurdran pledged his and his kingdom's aid to [[Anduin Lothar]] after the human Alliance aided them in forcing the invading orcs and forest trolls out of their homeland. Kurdran and his loyal steed, the gryphon [[Sky'ree]], became legendary during the war, battling over land and sea as well as the air; lending aid to Lordaeron and Quel'thalas. He left the Second War with nine slain dragons to his credit. After the war ended, Kurdran remained with the Alliance as a scout, his service proving invaluable to the Alliance war effort. |
||
− | |||
− | Upon hearing that [[Deathwing]] had breached the [[Dark Portal]] into [[Draenor]], Kurdran was only too eager to serve as scout and warrior for the [[Alliance Expedition]] to Draenor, and thus commanded the Gryphon Rider Division. Though Kurdran was captured during the raid on [[Auchindoun]], he was rescued by the Alliance and met his vengeance upon those who imprisoned him. |
||
− | |||
− | When [[Ner'zhul]] opened his unholy portals on Draenor, Kurdran elected to remain with his comrades and ensure that the Dark Portal was sealed to prevent it from harming Azeroth. For twenty years, he was believed dead, and immortalized in stone with his friends in the [[Valley of Heroes]] in [[Stormwind]]. Today, contact between Azeroth has at last been reestablished, and he now leads Alliance forces in Shadowmoon Valley. |
||
− | |||
− | ==Personality== |
||
− | Kurdran is well liked by his friends for his jolly personality and love for battle. He is a fierce warrior and does not like to be seen as a weakling, insisting to fight on despite being heavily wounded. [[Danath Trollbane]] was likely one of his closest friends and was whipped into frenzy hearing Kurdran's apparent death. Unlike many Wildhammers, he is not hostile towards wizards and spell-casters. |
||
− | |||
− | ==Kurdran in World of Warcraft== |
||
− | Kurdran and Sky'ree survived the destruction of Draenor and, after joining forces with the [[Naaru]], have taken up residence in [[Outland]]. Kurdran is the Thane of [[Wildhammer Stronghold]], the Alliance outpost in [[Shadowmoon Valley]], west of the [[Black Temple]]. Though he does not start any quests, Kurdran ends {{questlong|Alliance|70|News of Victory_(Alliance)}}. Interestingly, though he is not the target of any PvP objective, he has a tremendous amount of HP, at 5588K, more than any faction leader. |
||

− | {{Cata-section}} |
||
− | |||
− | Kurdran Wildhammer is present in the [[Twilight Highlands]]. Previously, Kurdran briefly replaced his brother Falstad as the Wildhammer representative of the [[Council of Three Hammers]] (which seemed to be an error on the part of the creative team) until he was replaced once again by Falstad in a later build. |
