The Twilight's Hammer clan (a.k.a. Twilight's Hammer, Hammer clan, Twilight's Hammer cult, or Twilight Cult) refers to a single organization. It later expanded into a cult as the clan's surviving members and members of other races joined together. The Twilight Hammer's current members banded together to study Cho'Gall's teachings and form the current cult. The cult arrived in the icy land of Northrend after Illidan Stormrage used sorcery in an attempt to tear apart Icecrown and destroy the then-bodiless Lich King, Ner'zhul. The destructive magic unleashed by the renegade sorcerer awoke dark things hidden deep beneath the frozen land, and the Twilight's Hammer soon heeded their call.

History

Beneath the Storm Peaks, the Old God Yogg-Saron was nearly ready to escape from his prison, and the Twilight's Hammer gathered to work his will.

The Northrend Sect

The Twilight's Hammer has also made a presence in Northrend inhabiting the Dungeon of Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom deep in Azjol-Nerub. They appear to be drawn by the presence of the Old God Yogg-Saron and the Faceless Ones which serve him and seek to bring about their dark plans. They established Twilight strongholds deep in the Old Kingdom and Ulduar, scheming to free their patron Old God from his prison. Their plans were foiled by agents of the Alliance and the Horde, but not all of the cult members were accounted for.

In the Wake of the Cataclysm

While their brothers follow Deathwing in the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, the remaining Twilight's Hammer of Northrend heed a different call. Their leader, Velius, has re-organized the cult in the wake of the defeat of Yogg-Saron at Ulduar, and all of the Hammer's resources are being devoted to seizing territory and strongholds previously occupied by the Iron Dwarves and the Scourge.

Twilight Master Velius

Velius was an adherent of the Twilight's Hammer cult in Northrend and a devout worshipper of Yogg-Saron, the Beast With a Thousand Maws. He became fascinated studying prisoners of the Scourge that had been forced to mine saronite, and how over time the prisoners became driven mad by the voice of Yogg-Saron. Inspired by tales of the dragon Deathwing's metal armor, Velius crafted his own armor from saronite, and grafted it directly onto his flesh, using refined liquid saronite to seal the bond.

The pain was beyond endurance, and Velius lapsed into a coma once the process was complete. It seemed like he would never awaken, until the unthinkable occured - agents of the Alliance and the Horde penetrated the defenses of Ulduar and slew Yogg-Saron himself in the Old God's prison. Before Yogg-Saron fell, he howled out a terrible curse in the eldritch tongue of the Old Gods:

Uulwi ifis halahs gag erh'ongg w'ssh!

As Yogg-Saron died, Velius awoke. By some dark miracle, the ritual had succeeded - the black blood of Yogg-Saron had become his own living metallic flesh. Over time, the armor has grown, overtaking more of his body and replacing it with living metal. As the transformation progresses, Velius becomes more and more powerful. Velius has led the Twilight's Hammer cult in Northrend to reform and expand their numbers since the death of Yogg-Saron. His forces are targeting Iron Dwarf strongholds and Scourge holdings, any region of Northrend that contains large amounts of saronite.

Sub-Commanders

Characters stonekiller — Twilight Commander Stonekiller

Twilight Commander Stonekiller

A taunka Twilight commander in Howling Fjord, overseeing the salvage of Iron Dwarf holdings in that region, as well as the new mining operations exploiting saronite deposits. He is entrenched the Twilight Ravine, the new stronghold of the Twilight's Hammer in the Fjord.

Twilight Arcanist Zin'fanel

Characters zinfanel — Twilight Arcanist Zin'fanel

The Twilight commander in Borean Tundra, she is overseeing the Hammer's efforts to disrupt the ley lines around Coldarra. She later attempts to secure blue dragon remains, hoping to accomplish both her mission and one-upping Xarosan in his efforts in Dragonblight. She is opposed in her efforts by a joint force of blue dragons and mages of the Kirin Tor, led by Madra of the blue flight. Madra finally succeeds in driving Zin'fanel and her forces from Coldarra, forcing her to retreat back to Icecrown.

Twilight Lord Xarosan

Characters xarosan — Twilight Lord Xarosan

A night elf and former highborn, Xarosan joined the Twilight's Hammer shortly before the Cataclysm tore the world apart. Xarosan is present in Dragonblight and is overseeing the efforts of the Twilight's Hammer to excavate the dragon bones there, as part of a joint venture with Scourge remnants in the region.

Xarosan seeks to master the art of necromancy and raise the remains of dragons as Wychwyrms, a new form of undead dragon fueled by vast amounts of arcane energy. The Twilight's Hammer has targeted Coldarra and the remains of the blue dragonflight's Nexus there as a source of arcane energy. However, Xarosan has little love for arcanist Zin'fanel, the Twilight's Hammer sub-commander of the Borean Tundra.

Twilight Lord Urizen

Characters urizen — Twilight Lord Urizen

A Forsaken warlock, Urizen is the leader of the Twilight's Hammer in Zul'Drak. Urizen has come to spread the gospel of the dark gods to the Drakkari, in the wake of the frost trolls mass murder of their animal gods. Working with the frost trolls, the Hammer has remade the temple of Gundrak into a massive twilight portal, and Urizen is planning on bringing through the gigantic Faceless One Zildrohar the Traveler.

After resurrecting the slain animal gods of the trolls as dark, twisted mockeries of their former selves, Urizen succeeded in opening a vast portal at Gundrak. However, before Zildrohar could pass through the portal and manifest himself fully, heroes of the Alliance and the Horde arrived with support from the Zandalari and the Argent Crusade. Working together, they managed to drive Zildrohar back through the portal, reversing it and causing it to draw in Urizen and all of his forces.

Dark Master Zorc

An orc warlock who leads the Hammer's forces in Sholazar Basin, seeking to secure the great pillars and the energies of the Titans. Zorc attempts to use the Faceless One allies of the Twilight's Hammer to destroy all of Sholazar from below, but his efforts are thwarted by [[Watcher_(titanic)}watcher]] Freya of Ulduar, with the aid of heroes from the Alliance and the Horde. Zorc is forced to withdraw from Sholazar, and retreats back to the Hammer's base of operations in Icecrown.

Forgemaster Balehammer

Characters balehammer — Forgemaster Balehammer

Leader of the Twilight forces in Storm Peaks, he is in charge of all salvage operations involving forming holdings of the Iron Dwarves, and the assimilation of their technology into the Twilight's Hammer war machine. After discovering that the Iron Dwarves, who went into stasis at the moment of Yogg-Saron's defeat, can be reanimated when they are infused with liquid saronite, Balehammer turns all of his forces efforts towards acquiring more of the evil substance. Finally, Balehammer manages to secure the Temple of Wisdom, former sanctuary of the corrupted watcher Loken, where a vrykul named Sara teaches him the secret of how the Iron Dwarves were first created.

Balehammer is later encountered deep within Ulduar, at the Prison of Yogg-Saron. The Old God's immense carcass has almost completely degraded into rotten saronite, Balehammer was able to extract a sample of pure saronite before he was forced to retreat by the watchers of Ulduar.
