This article provides an '''unofficial timeline''' of recorded important events in the [[Warcraft universe]] compiled from official timelines and all sources published by [[Blizz]]ard. Blizzard has used two standards when establishing dates in various official timelines, both based on the opening of the [[Dark Portal]].
−
'''Morbent Fell''' was a [[Lich]] of the [[Scourge]], though he was loyal to the [[Burning Legion]] and not to the [[Lich King]]. During the [[Legacy of the Damned]], Fell became a follower of the [[dreadlord]] [[Balnazzar]]. During [[A New Power in Lordaeron]], Fell commanded a faction of Undead dubbed the [[Dreadlord Loyalists]] and was presumably killed by the forces of [[Sylvanas]], [[Varimathras]] and [[Garithos]].
 
   
  +
Numbering is based on the opening of the Dark Portal, as this is the method used by the latest sources. Some sources have the opening of the Dark Portal as about 25 years before the start of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', and other dates state that it was about 30 years before the start of ''World of Warcraft''. This [[timeline]] is based on the 30 year standard.
−
He may have returned to his fleshly body and moved to [[Duskwood]] as [[Morbent Fel]].
 
   
  +
All dates are considered to be spans of time from one to the next since many events are only given vague ordering and estimated dates. Warcraft products are displayed in italics.
−
''Note: While the name Morbent Fell is one of the [[Random hero#Lich|random]] Lich names of [[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]], and could appear in any mission where there are random liches, he is a static mob in the southern [[Dreadlord Loyalists]] camp in the mission, [[A New Power in Lordaeron]].''
 
   
  +
It should not be considered as an official timeline, but should be as accurate as, and more complete than, whatever Blizzard has provided.

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.

This article provides an unofficial timeline of recorded important events in the Warcraft universe compiled from official timelines and all sources published by Blizzard. Blizzard has used two standards when establishing dates in various official timelines, both based on the opening of the Dark Portal.

Numbering is based on the opening of the Dark Portal, as this is the method used by the latest sources. Some sources have the opening of the Dark Portal as about 25 years before the start of World of Warcraft, and other dates state that it was about 30 years before the start of World of Warcraft. This timeline is based on the 30 year standard.

All dates are considered to be spans of time from one to the next since many events are only given vague ordering and estimated dates. Warcraft products are displayed in italics.

It should not be considered as an official timeline, but should be as accurate as, and more complete than, whatever Blizzard has provided.
