:''"Name's Ga'Crane. But joo can call me jus' Ga."''
  
   
  +
:''As with [[Uldaman]] and [[Ulduar]], Uldum houses one of only a few of the known titan constructions, the existence of which predates that of mortal life on Azeroth. For years historians have explored southern Kalimdor for a means of entry into this ancient titan land, searching for more evidence of Azeroth's origins. But the [[Cataclysm]] will change everything, for the façade behind which Uldum has been tucked for millennia will be ruptured, leaving powerful mysteries vulnerable to discovery by the bravest, smartest, or perhaps even most brutal explorers.''
−
Ga'Crane was born to a well-off troll couple who wanted him to have a serene, respectable and maybe even luxurious lifestyle. At the age of nine they began to search for his place in life. After failing to discover a shaman's talent in him, and proceeding likewise with the paths of a warrior, a druid and an arcanist, his already desperate parents met a renown alchemist who agreed to teach him and was surprised to discover that his talent could only be out-matched by his laziness. Two decades later Ga'Crane became something of a prodigy among the Horde's alchemists, and even began to earn just enough money so as not to worry about it more than necessary. Although he spends a lot of time in his house-slash-laboratory-slash-store in Orgrimmar, Ga'Crane frequently wanders off to gather some reagents on his own, considering this his vacation, and that's when the majority of adventures happen to him - even if he does not want it.

'''Uldum''' (pronounced: /uːl'duːm/), also known as "'''the Land of the Titans'''" is an ancient desert located on the southern coast of [[Kalimdor]], surrounded by the [[Un'Goro Crater]] in the north, [[Tanaris Desert]] in the east and [[Silithus]] in the northwest. It is the homeland of stone-cat people known as [[Tol'vir]] and is rich with [[Titan]] lore. Somewhere in Uldum is a pyramid known as [[Maker's Terrace]]. Deathwing's minions are looking for it, trying to use it as a weapon of mass destruction.

:''"Me? A slim - yet 'andsome, and don't joo deny it - troll intimidatin' joo?"''
  
  +
Fragments of notes unearthed from [[Bael Modan]] suggest that a great [[titan]] [[city]] lies deep within the rocky expanse of the southern desert. So far, dwarven expeditions have yet to track down the location of Uldum, but they are confident that it's only a matter of time.<ref>''[[Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game]]'', 211</ref> Uldum is a research facility for the titans in their continuing efforts to enhance the biosphere of Azeroth. Specific information regarding their work as it relates to Uldum is unknown and can only be accessed with the [[Plates of Uldum]].<ref>[[Stone Watcher of Norgannon]]</ref>
   
  +
Uldum was mentioned in the legends of Azeroth, but its location long remained a mystery. [[Brann Bronzebeard]] mentioned in his travelogue, ''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', that he searched for it all over Tanaris, but could never find it. He wondered if it could just be another name for the Caverns of Time, but he didn't know for sure.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 59</ref> However, his assumption proved to be false, as Uldum is actually located on the southern edge of the continent, and it was hidden by some sort of [[Titan]] cloaking device. The [[Cataclysm (event)|Cataclysm]] damaged the device, and unveiled the long forgotten, mysterious land.
−
Ga'Crane is of a slim build, standing at 6'7" upright with his gorgeous - as he thinks - red hair adding at least 3" more, and weighing about 175 pounds. He prefers long-lasting, stain-proof clothes that are both somewhat stylish and practical. His facial markings bear no actual meaning and are just there for the looks. On his hips hang two enchanted satchels that are a lot bigger on the inside - he got them as a payment after brewing a cure from a most embarassing disease for a powerful Blood elf mage. Ga'Crane smiles frequently, partly because he wants to make friends with everyone he encounters.
  
   
  +
It is notable however that the dungeon release order in ''World of Warcraft'' somehow mirrors Brann's journey to some degree, in that Brann has visited Ulduar after Uldaman, but has not yet reached Uldum.

==Geography==
−
Ga'Crane is rather frail, has had no combat training whatsoever and is not attuned to the arcane, either. He compensates all of the above relying heavily on various brews and concoctions, his weapon of last resort being a vial with extremely potent acid, capable of eating through organic tissue devastatingly fast. He also carries with him potions for almost all events one could think of, including several syringes with pain-numbing serum - the last one being rarely used, however. Despite the fact that Ga'Crane is not resilient to pain, and sometimes can be shut off even by a minor wound, he tries to restrain from pain-numbers, knowing that they are addictive.
  
  +
The landscape of Uldum is predominately desert, with a large river surrounded by an oasis flowing through the center of the region, mostly populated by the [[Tol'vir]], with the largest settlement - the [[Lost City of Tol'vir|Lost City]] located on the river delta. The western part of Uldum consists of a large expanse of the wind-swept dunes with half-buried Tol'vir settlements and pyramids, caused by the recent transgressions of [[Al'Akir]]'s air elemental minions. In the east lies a massive pyramid that houses the [[Titan]] complex known as the [[Halls of Origination]]. The northwestern part is the location of the [[Obelisk of the Stars]] and [[Gate of Unending Cycles|The Gate of Unending Cycles]] connecting the region with [[Tanaris]] desert. The southern part of the region besides the river delta is mostly cliffs, with settlements held by the [[Neferset]]. The southwestern part is being held by an expedition led by [[Commander Schnottz]]. The Cataclysm also brought the [[Skywall]] towers into Uldum that serve as an entrance to the Al'Akir's domain - the [[elemental plane]] of air. Al'Akir sends his elemental minions to convince the Tol'vir to join his new liege [[Deathwing]], even rewarding them with removal of the [[Curse of Flesh]]. Those who dared to oppose suffered dire consequences as exampled in the [[Orsis]] settlement.

If anything, Ga'Crane is friendly, and through countless hours spent talking with people he took some points in charming, too. Having been through quite an amount of trouble in his life, and not possessing the qualities to deal with it head-on, he has learned to be creative, and utilise anything that comes handy - although, to be honest, it's mainly his various concoctions.

Ga'Crane firmly believes that he is one of the best Horde potion docs, if not the best, and when speaking about his job he rarely misses an opportunity to be boastful about it. When a problem arises, this troll tries to get rid of it ASAP, and that may characterise him as hot-headed. He is also very loyal - and secretly prides himself on that - and that backfires on him sometimes.

Although not as weird as the potion docs are widely believed to be, Ga'Crane sometimes talks to himself, particularly mocking his own mistakes. He also utilises his knowledge of High Zandali, swearing in it whenever he feels moody.

(There is no flightpath directly from [[Ramkahen]] to [[Gadgetzan]] in Tanaris, so if your character has not picked up the {{Horde Icon Small}} [[Dawnrise Expedition]] or {{Alliance Icon Small}} [[Gunstan's Dig]] flightpoint yet you may want to do it ''before'' starting the Uldum introduction questline.)

Ga'Crane is the first troll character I've ever made, thus he possesses a thick accent that has become something of a trademark. His name is an anagram of Carnage, and that means... Absolutely nothing!

:''"I am Alexander, but I am also Duskhide."''
  
−  
−
The cataclysm that consumed the [[Duskhaven|southern part of Gilnean peninsula]] also destroyed Bowie manor, leaving Alexander, who was hunting feral worgen to the north at the time, only his title as a mockery. For a short period of time he became a lot more reckless, unleashing his grief upon his prey. That cost him dearly, for not long after that a worgen bit him, causing all dark and horrible that was inside him to emerge in the form of Duskhide. The new-born feral worgen ravaged the land for some time before meeting - actually, jumping at - several [[night elf]] druids not far from [[Tal'doren]] and getting subdued. The night elves could feel that inside the beast still clinged to hope remnants of a human he once had been - and that the said human had a hidden talent for druidism. Thus, they took the risk of letting Bowie into the [[Emerald Dream]], where his human side faced off against his worgen one.
 
−  
−
Alexander emerged victorious, but considering the fact that his personality changed considerably after that, it is safe to say that rather than defeating Duskhide, he accepted him as a part of himself and conjoined with him. As an outcome, his affinity to Nature grew stronger, and under tutelage of more experienced druids he became quite a prominent one himself. Now that not only his manor but his [[Ruins of Gilneas|homeland lies ravaged]], nothing ties Alexander to one place, and thus he wanders across Azeroth, undoing the unnatural and furthering the Alliance cause whenever he can.

In his human form, Alexander stands at 6'6" and weighs about 180 pounds, while taking the guise of Duskhide makes him as tall as 7' and 275 pounds heavy. Before the transformation he used to be rather pale and frail, but now he is a lot stronger and better built. He wears a traditional - if somewhat dark - Druid garb, and is rarely seen without his staff, which is actually a misplaced twig of Tal'doren, altered to better serve him. As a human Alexander sports a black mane that almost rivals that of Duskhide, as well as a neatly trimmed beard and moustache. Duskhide is large, black-furred and posesses deep amethyst eyes that probably are an indication of his druidic abilities.

:''"Face the wrath of Nature!"''
  
−  
−
Alexander is adept in all forms of druidic combat, but prefers to call upon powers of Nature and deal with his enemies from afar, rather than engaging them in melee. His favorite tricks include sprouting numerous vines to hold - and, if needed, tear apart - his adversaries, bombarding them with explosive and/or rapidly growing seeds, or, if dealing with undead or demons, calling down a focused ray of light to burn them. When forced to close combat he prefers a form of a large silver-back saberworg. His ultimate weapon is an ability to, upon piercing his enemy's body with his staff, forcing it to grow rapidly, in the end sealing his victim inside a tree that would feed upon his or her organism.
  
−  
−
== Personality ==
  
−  
−
:''"I do what I have to do, and nothing will stop me."''
  
−  
−
Alexander has many personality flaws - he is rather arrogant, self-confident, zealous and vengeful when it comes to dealing with Forsaken - he hates them both as a druid and as a Gilnean, and it takes a lot to keep him from killing one immediately upon notice. That is not the case with other races, however, and Alexander is even willing to work along-side orcs, trolls or tauren if it means restoring the natural balance. After his final transformation, however, he grew a lot more mature, and is now calm, reserved, patient and sometimes even wise. He retains a noble's etiquette, but also possesses a savage worgen's brutality, so it is not hard for him to communicate with almost everyone.

Uldum entrance

The gate to Uldum remained untouched since the beginning of the game's history...

New Uldum entrance

...until the Cataclysm came.

As with Uldaman and Ulduar, Uldum houses one of only a few of the known titan constructions, the existence of which predates that of mortal life on Azeroth. For years historians have explored southern Kalimdor for a means of entry into this ancient titan land, searching for more evidence of Azeroth's origins. But the Cataclysm will change everything, for the façade behind which Uldum has been tucked for millennia will be ruptured, leaving powerful mysteries vulnerable to discovery by the bravest, smartest, or perhaps even most brutal explorers.

Uldum (pronounced: /uːl'duːm/), also known as "the Land of the Titans" is an ancient desert located on the southern coast of Kalimdor, surrounded by the Un'Goro Crater in the north, Tanaris Desert in the east and Silithus in the northwest. It is the homeland of stone-cat people known as Tol'vir and is rich with Titan lore. Somewhere in Uldum is a pyramid known as Maker's Terrace. Deathwing's minions are looking for it, trying to use it as a weapon of mass destruction.

History

Fragments of notes unearthed from Bael Modan suggest that a great titan city lies deep within the rocky expanse of the southern desert. So far, dwarven expeditions have yet to track down the location of Uldum, but they are confident that it's only a matter of time.[1] Uldum is a research facility for the titans in their continuing efforts to enhance the biosphere of Azeroth. Specific information regarding their work as it relates to Uldum is unknown and can only be accessed with the Plates of Uldum.[2]

Uldum was mentioned in the legends of Azeroth, but its location long remained a mystery. Brann Bronzebeard mentioned in his travelogue, Lands of Mystery, that he searched for it all over Tanaris, but could never find it. He wondered if it could just be another name for the Caverns of Time, but he didn't know for sure.[3] However, his assumption proved to be false, as Uldum is actually located on the southern edge of the continent, and it was hidden by some sort of Titan cloaking device. The Cataclysm damaged the device, and unveiled the long forgotten, mysterious land.

It is notable however that the dungeon release order in World of Warcraft somehow mirrors Brann's journey to some degree, in that Brann has visited Ulduar after Uldaman, but has not yet reached Uldum.

Prospector Gunstan maintains a lonely vigil nearby on behalf of the Explorers' League.

Geography

The landscape of Uldum is predominately desert, with a large river surrounded by an oasis flowing through the center of the region, mostly populated by the Tol'vir, with the largest settlement - the Lost City located on the river delta. The western part of Uldum consists of a large expanse of the wind-swept dunes with half-buried Tol'vir settlements and pyramids, caused by the recent transgressions of Al'Akir's air elemental minions. In the east lies a massive pyramid that houses the Titan complex known as the Halls of Origination. The northwestern part is the location of the Obelisk of the Stars and The Gate of Unending Cycles connecting the region with Tanaris desert. The southern part of the region besides the river delta is mostly cliffs, with settlements held by the Neferset. The southwestern part is being held by an expedition led by Commander Schnottz. The Cataclysm also brought the Skywall towers into Uldum that serve as an entrance to the Al'Akir's domain - the elemental plane of air. Al'Akir sends his elemental minions to convince the Tol'vir to join his new liege Deathwing, even rewarding them with removal of the Curse of Flesh. Those who dared to oppose suffered dire consequences as exampled in the Orsis settlement.

Wild creatures

The fauna of Uldum is not widely known to the outsiders because of the long-timed isolation of the region from the outside world.

Speculation

Questionmark-medium
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

It is said that Uldum was one of the three ancient halls in which the earthen (the ancestors of the dwarves) were left to sleep by their titan creators.[4] Similar locations exist at Uldaman and Ulduar; additionally, a fourth location, Maraudon, is the location of Terramok, an ancient titan vault.
