| − | It's simply never been explained. Perhaps female wolves of that species turn black after whelping. It's possible that it isn't the original Snowsong, but a black-furred namesake. More likely Blizzard decided that Thrall would look more impressive on a black wolf and hoped no one would notice that Snowsong was supposed to be white. --[[User:Ragestorm|Ragestorm]] 06:19, 29 June 2006 (EDT) |

| − | Thrall is not a shaman and Thrall is not a king. He´s a Farseer, that also have skills for warrior, and he´s a warchief. Remember that orcs not have kings. We technically can consider him a shaman, of course, because farseer is like a higher form of shamanism, but he stills not a king. And remember that the sighlty obscure form of shamanism shown in "Shaman King" its very different with the more-like-the-reality form of shamanism shown in Warcraft (connection with the elemental spirits (WoW) instead of just the spirits of roadkilled samurais(Shaman King)). |

Thrall values his peons and all his grunts and makes great strides and movements towards abolishing slavery among his fellow orc, soldiers and civilians alike.

| − | Nazgrel is Thrall's Head of Security. For him to get such a sensitive position, he must be pretty close to Thrall as a friend. As such, really really close friends and comrades are considered Brothers. In a broader sense, all Orcs call each other brothers even if they are not biological brothers, the same way the Communists call each other Comrades even though they may not really be comrades. --[[User:InvincNerd|Invin Dranoel]] 12:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC) |

| − | == Controversy == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Note: This is 100% speculation. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Thrall is known for being an uncorrupted orc, but strange enough he has green skin, in the upcoming expansion Burning Crusade it was shown orcs with brown skin meaning that they were never corrupted, meaning either he ever drunk the blood of mannoroth or one of his parents done it. His father Durotan never drunked the blood because of opposong to it as for his mother it was shown she was against (possibly she might have felt to the temptation and was forgived by Durotan). In the book Warcraft: Lord of the clans which followed Thrall's life since he was a baby it was never shwo that he actually drank it but Grommash Hellscream during Warcraft III: The Reign of Chaos he sai to Thrall "Can you feel it Thrall? It's just like the old days" indicatin that Thrall drunked the blood (but that is impossible) another theory is that of staying so much time aroud the corrupted orcs he micht have felt the negative energies become to lose his skin from brown to green. <small>—The preceding [[WoWWiki:Signature|unsigned]] comment was added by {{User|Manuelwow}}.</small> |

||
| − | |||
| − | Well from that sort of speculation ANYTHING is possible, but it is most likely UNTRUE. The skin of all orcs who are in the vicinity of warlock magics turn green. This is why the Frostwolf Clan, who were expressly forbidden to drink the blood of Mannoroth by Durotan, and also Orgrim Doomhammer who also refused received a change in skin color as well. It just happens more slowly than those who drink the blood directly, who receive an immediate change. The latter theory is the most likely one, and the phenomena itself is not a theory, it is true and proven in [[Rise of the Horde]].--[[User:Zexx|Zexx]] 15:30, 5 January 2007 (EST) |

Perhabs there were a few older blues living and hiding as well, I shall look up the quote about it... (it went something along the lines of -some of the elder that still live...-. Then AQ came and suddenly Malygos' heir shows up...I doubt the spellweaver would send his heir away to rsik his life no matter what. And he would know he's alive. Then, even before that, with war of the ancients two things are stated: First, Neltharion/Deathwing killed every blue dragon except for Malygos, as the book states even old dragons had to follow the call to fight. Second, Krasus saved a good 2 dozen of eggs. And then Sunwell Trilogy: Suddenly there is a good handful of blue dragons.

| − | I think the Frozen Throne takes places after the War of the Ancients trilogy. Regardless, blue dragons appear in two missions in Reign of Chaos. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In Day of the Dragon and the War of the Ancients they make it pretty clear that Deathwing wiped out every blue. I do see it as a retcon, as I doubt Malygos wouldn't be aware that there were some blues left. Korialstraz confirms this various times, and he seems to be pretty plugged in. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : War of the Ancients specifically has Krasus take some of Malygos' eggs and place them in some kind of temporal stasis. Nozdormu knows and approves of it. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another thing that doesn't really matter and isn't necessarily an inconsistency, but I feel like pointing out is in the Sundering, Krasus claims that even after 10'000 years the Blue Dragonflight's numbers wouldn't be great. Oddly, according to Lands of Mystery, there are over 800 blue dragons in the world. Of course, that probably counts blue dragonspawn and we don't know what the dragon's populations were prior to the WOTA. |

And it says one day when Thrall "playing" as the wild orc so Seargeant's men could practice subduing an escaped orc, an orc that was captured thought they really were attacking him. He warned Thrall in orcish. Thrall didnt know much orcish so he didnt understand. The other language wpuld have to be English since they wouldnt be teaching him Taurahe or Thalassian in Durnholde. Then why cant Thrall speak English when Alliance people raid Orgrimarr. Its not like he could forget English even though he does know orcish. |

| − | Metzen discusses how he personally views orcs as noble, and loves the theme, but most people at Blizzard view their orcs as evil gankers, and bad asses. Not wishy washy, poetry readers. He sees Thrall as a messiah character, to find racial idenity and their powers again, so they don't have to be monsters. He then says there is a need for an anti-thrall character, a human character, someone that can perceive them for the threat they could be. He then brings up an interesting scenario; What if Thrall didn't exist? He thinks it would be catastrophic. Does all the orcs really by into all this peace and stuff? ...or is it just the power of thrall, magnitude of him, and the faith of him as a leader that keep them all civil. But if anything were to happen to thrall, heaven forbid, it could be horrific. He says its something that makes him lay awake at night and go "Ya!!". It could be pretty rad. He knows most people see orcs as "evil" he wants to account for the people who enjoy orcs of that type as well. He has to find balance between both views, allowing it to be viewed from many pov, as being pro-horde, pro-alliance or neither depending on the individual reading it, creating a kind of balance.-Metzen[http://dccomics.com/media/podcasts/DCComics_2007-07-28_Wow_Its_World_of_WarCraft_San_Diego_Comic_Con_2007.mp3] |

And the orcs were once shamans before the [[Blood of Mannoroth]] incident, and they have since broken free when Grom killed Mannoroth. Many orcs in Orgrimmar worship Thrall, and view him as their true leader, right after Orgrim Doomhammer, even if they are more brutish. The only "evil" orcs I see as truly evil are the [[Shadow Council]], the [[Dark Horde]], the [[Fel Horde]], and the [[Burning Blade]] cult, the first and last incorporating not only orcs but [[humans]], [[forsaken]], and [[Highborne]] as well. --[[User:Eman91|Eman91]] |

| − | Interesting, wonders if Metzen was hinting at something through the RPG there. I wonder if this will play into the upcoming DC comic arc. Metzen makes hints that it might, that the "anti-thrall" (anti-messianic) human character in the story might learn about the more darker parts of the Horde while he's living with them, much like Thrall grew up in the darker part of the Alliance, and become a danger to their peace and stability, and a dangerous heroic foe when he rejoins the Alliance.[[User:Baggins|Baggins]] 15:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC) |

In anycase Metzen implies that the comics are canon (that both game staff and the comic authors are working together to have the material have crossovers in the game and the comic), and that the novels are mostly canon (one of the first times I've seen him use a term other than "lore", although he was answering someone who had used the term "canon"), with certain details, that Blizzard "plays by ear" about as far as if the info will be referenced in the MMO or other resources.

After they joined forces with the Alliance and kicked the Burning Legion's ass, everyone could have lived happily ever after then Proudmoore has to come and mess everything up by trying to wipe out them out. After they've kicked his ass that stupid demon guy Zmoldor decided now was a good time to start ANOTHER war. After a brief skirmish and after Thrall splits a guys brain open it ends. But I don't like the idea of this anti-thrall character. Something gives me the feeling that he's just gonna start another boring war, when both factions should be concentrating on the Scourge. Yup, everythings gonna go very pear-shaped soon. [[User:Warchiefthrall|Warchiefthrall]] 23:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC) |

No matter how many humans or draenei dislike the orcs, you'll always have people like Jaina or Velen who see the good in them, and remind people that their actions were in the past. However, if a charismatic human has seen the dark side of the Horde ''today'', and decides to revive old hatred then Jaina's pleas might fall upon deaf ears again, because he's talking about the '''now''', whereas most Hordehaters are talking about the '''then'''.--[[User:Ragestorm|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Ragestorm</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Ragestorm|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Ragestorm|contr]])</small> 14:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |

Its one dimensional, and really limits the ways stories can be told in the game... In some cases it makes little sense. For example the few times where in game both sides are supposed to be siding with each other to help a single war effort, the players end up breaking down and fighting each other. Where it would have been kind of interesting for those events if both sides were flagged as neutral non-attackable in the area of the event, so they couldn't start killing each other, and instead work on helping each other for the event (then go back to enemy status once the event was over). |

One thing people forget,is that Thrall didn't change the Horde from scratch,he helped regained what the Burning Legion had stolen from them. In the unlikely case of his death(he's stiill young and healthy). He has five possible heirs,I can think of. |

For the humans theres Arthas, the Night Elves Tyrande, the Undead Kel"thuzad. For the Orcs, I'm pretty sure that it's Thralls image.

||
| − | |||
| − | Though this may not have any base to it, maybe the reason Jaina is friends with Thrall is because of how he acts compared to Arthas. Though it may not seem like it, at the beginning of WC3 Arthas was a kind person if you payed attention to his side quest and his dialog with a small child from a town that was pillaged by orcs. Possibly Jaina likes Thrall because he acts like how Arthas did before the 3rd war, kind and noble. <small>—The preceding [[WoWWiki:Signature|unsigned]] comment was added by {{User|Rannulf}}.</small> |

||
| − | Back on topic, I think in Thrall's case I think it's Jaina's resemblance to Taretha Foxton and her ability to forget the past; with Jaina it's probably Thrall's ability to look past Blackmoore's actions and to judge people of other races by the individual. --[[User:Super Bhaal|Super Bhaal]] 19:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC) |

||

| − | |||
| − | Let me try to explain. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Arthas and Jania were good friends before the third war, almost lovers. Arthas was a gental idealist looking out for his people and just doing what he feels is right. He was an holy knight, defender of the people, natural leader (how else could he get people to follow him as they did) and a honorable man. Once he went evil and left Jaina she moved on to try to save her people. She met Thrall |
||
| − | |||
| − | Thrall (in my eyes atleast) is alot like Arthas (pally version of course). They are both looking out for the best intrest of their people. Considering Thrall's past as a slave and a target dummy for alliance trainies, he grew up as a kind and noble orc, as well as a natural leader. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Well anyway they both worked together first to free Grom and then to help save the world. Well notice that alot of alliance and horde work together during this time, but they are still at each other throats, why not Jania and Thrall? Because they remind each other of someone they cared about. In basicly no time at all they formed a bond and it holds. |

| − | In fact, they were about to kill each other once. BUT they did not kill each other the moment they met each other is because Medivh appeared (In a very Dramatic Fasion) and specificly told them not to. If it wasn't for Medivh, they would have killed each other on sight. And since both trust Medivh (Thrall got his spirits tellin him to, Jaina knows Medivh speaks the truth.) They worked together on his request. Only when working together to create the trinket to capture Grom's soul did they realise each other to be well, nice. --[[User:InvincNerd|Invin Dranoel]] 12:21, 4 September 2007 (UTC) |

| − | Yeah I kinda have to stand down after all that. Not wimping out just getting a reality check. Blizz probaly never tried to make a connection between Arthas and Thrall, though I still see one, doesn't mean that there actually is one. One of the sad things about talking about lore is that it's what the writers and developers want it to be. |
||
| − | |||
| − | I still hold to that early Arthas and Thrall are alike in the ways I mentioned, though it probaly didn't affect her choice to befriend him. Rannulf 03:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | To be honest Arthas appeared to me like a power hungry arrogant man in war3 (before his corruption)>I can't deny he was caring for his people but he was too power hungry.Play the war3 first campaign and click on Arthas more times....he'll say something with I should be in Command.Anyway as for why people followed him well that's simple:He was Lordaeron's prince ,he's father was a beloved leader ,so it wasn't just his charming and strong leadership that got him so many followers.So i persoanlly don't see any similarity with Thrall other then the fact they both have great power at their disposal and that they were leaders of their people.Although Thrall was more deserving i think([[User:Marakanis|Marakanis]]) |

Since Snowsong has spent so much time along side Thrall in warm climate areas like Lordearon and the Barrens, its more than likly that her fur has simply changed so she did not stick out like a sore thumb. ^_^ |

| − | Your first response may have passed as innocent enough, but i think almost anyone would find it hard to believe you weren't trolling after your second response: ''"That post was a little too long. YOU PHAIL"'' And i honestly don't mean to sound like an elitist a-hole but i recommend you at least know the basics about a character or topic before making any claims or theories if you want to be taken seriosuly. {{User:Warthok/Sig}} 07:04, 22 December 2007 (UTC) |

| − | == Rename article to Thrall of Durnholde? == |
||
| − | |||
| − | UNLIKE all my other edits, this is a sugestion (FInnaly using what a talk page is for). Although this is pretty trivial. |
||
| − | Untill the Death of Blackmoore (according to the custom campaign I played which followed the book pretty well (LOTC)), Thrall decided to keep the place he came from in his name (for the sake of reminding him of his oppresion). |
||
| − | There are three reasons for dissagreeing with me. 1. My source was wrong. 2. Thrall changed his name by taking out two words after the death of Blackmoore (that I am unsure of). 3.This is too trivial |
||
| − | The only reason I can come up with to support me is that, all the other charecters had pages that had the charecter's name in full.(Please don't flame I am trying to make this an intelligent edit (Which I only started doing those at 2008's beggining) --[[User:The last Alterac|The last Alterac]] 13:04, 17 April 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | :I'm gonna go with option A: your source is wrong. In no official works has Thrall ever named himself after Durnholde Keep. Nor, I think, would he want to: it's not a history he would be proud of, nor one he likely remembers fondly. It's also not in keeping with traditional orcish titles, which make reference to either the orc's patronage (Thrall, son of Durotan) or a family or clan legacy (Orgrim Doomhammer). -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] 15:04, 17 April 2008 (UTC) |

| − | == Blademaster? == |
||
| − | |||
| − | I'm curious where it's stated that Thrall is a Blademaster. I'll admit, I'm not familiar with anything outside of the actual games and some assorted lore, but that seems like something I would have heard before. [[User:Daikorg|Daikorg]] ([[User talk:Daikorg|talk]]) 09:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |
||
| − | : In the RPG books, he's listed as having levels in the [[gladiator]] prestige class. "Blademaster" was just the name Horde characters with levels in the gladiator class used. I think the levels in gladiator were supposed to reflect his time as Blackmoore's cash cow at Durnholde. It might have been better for the stat block to just say "gladiator", but since Thrall was all about "finding his roots" pre-Third War it suits him. --[[User:Super Bhaal|Super Bhaal]] ([[User talk:Super Bhaal|talk]]) 10:03, 24 May 2008 (UTC) |

| − | == Infobox image == |
||
| − | Of all images that exist of Thrall the one that is in the infobox is most unappropriate in my opinion - there are grid lines in the background, Thrall is with an unknown axe, not with the Doomhammer, and the quality is lower than that of the beautiful arwork of Samwise, Metzen or the recent Glenn Rane's (which I propose for replace of the current one in the box).[[User:Dakovski|Dakovski]] ([[User talk:Dakovski|talk]]) 10:52, 21 September 2008 (UTC) |

| − | |||
| − | I agree the image in the infobox at the moment should definitely be changed, although I'm not entirely sure what should replace it. The Metzen one is pretty good, but the latest one by Glenn Rane is even better, so I'd opt for that one at the moment.

| − | :This image was selected because it is a cinematic image. However, as many other characters for whom we have cinematic depictions are using artwork, and because you've actually suggested viable alternatives, we can go ahead and discuss it. My only problem with the two suggestions here (which the current image might also fail at) is that infobox images should be relatively close and clearly show the face of the character. --[[User:Ragestorm|<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted; cursor:help;" title="Admin">Ragestorm</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Ragestorm|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Ragestorm|contr]])</small> 14:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC) |

| − | == Part of History needing a rewrite? == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hello. I asked this same sort of question on the Darion Morgraine page and I think it needs to be addressed here as well. Up to the "Prior to the Lich King's Invasion" sub-heading, the entirety of the history section has been written in the past tense. But at this said point it suddenly changes, and is written in the present tense. I understand that this is because these are events that have just recently taken place in Wrath of the Lich King, but surely in order to remain consistent with the rest of the article these parts should be written in the same tense? I don't think the article flows well if it abruptly stops and the writing style suddenly goes off in another direction, as I think is the case here. Thoughts? |
