| − | The neutral [[goblin]] trading outpost of '''Gadgetzan''' is the only spot of civilization in the entire desert of [[Tanaris]]. Explorers can find most gear that they need here, as well as a place to escape from the blistering sun and other dangers of the desert.<ref name="Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game 211">''[[Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 211</ref> Rising out of the northern [[Tanaris]] desert like an oasis, Gadgetzan (Gadgetzar or Gadgetar in some tongues) is the headquarters of the [[Steamwheedle Cartel]], the largest of the [[Goblin]] Cartels. Here some of the best goblin engineers, miners and alchemists play their trade. The goblins believe in profit above loyalty, thus Gadgetzan is considered neutral territory in the Horde/Alliance conflict. Anyone with a fat wallet or services to offer is welcome in Gadgetzan. Both governments officially recognize goblin neutrality, and for those who don't, the streets are heavily patrolled by goblin bruisers ready to pound to a pulp anyone disrupting their trade by instigating conflict. Why the goblins choose to build their trading towns in such inhospitable locations is anyone's guess, but once again, they defy logic and the hot sun with their wondrous city of Gadgetzan. |

| + | ==The Aspects in World of Warcraft== |
||
| − | ==General Information== |
||
| + | [[File:Dragon Aspects humanoid forms.jpg|thumb|250px|Nozdormu, Ysera, Alexstrasza, Malygos and Neltharion, The Originals Aspects in their humanoid forms.]] |
||
| − | Although the goblins' neutrality is almost universally acknowledged, there are still those who seek to sow chaos and anarchy. For Gadgetzan, this comes in the form of the [[Wastewander]] bandits, a gang of miscreants who have occupied the [[Waterspring Field]] and [[Noonshade Ruins]] of northeast Tanaris. Few goblins care about ancient ruins (unless they have treasure) – for all they care, the bandits can have the old blocks of stone. |
||
| + | All of the Aspects appear in one form or another: |
||
| + | *[[Malygos]] was the first Aspect confirmed to appear in WotLK. He is the boss of the [[Eye of Eternity]] within the [[Nexus]], the homebase of the blue dragonflight, on the island of [[Coldarra]] in the [[Borean Tundra]]. Malygos leads his dragonflight in a war against all mortal spellcasters, believing that magic was running amok throughout the world because of mortals' reckless use of its powers.<ref>http://www.wow-europe.com/wrath/features/dungeons/nexus.xml</ref> Malygos can be killed by players, thus making him the first of the Dragon Aspects to die. |
||
| − | However, the Waterspring Field is vital to the goblins' survival in the desert, providing them with the liquid gold of the desert. Water towers out in the field were constructed under the blazing heat of the desert sun by the backbreaking work of their slaves, and by Az, the goblins aren't going to give up their hard earned towers that easily. However, the Bruisers need to stay in town to keep the gnomes' collective Napoleonic-complex from getting out of hand and to stop the seemingly endless dueling among the various visitors from disrupting business. Therefore, it falls to brave mercenaries from all corners of the world to help the goblins in their time of utmost need. |
||
| + | *[[Alexstrasza]] appears in humanoid form at the [[Wyrmrest Temple]] in [[Dragonblight]]. The red dragonflight appears to be at the forefront in defending the mortal races in the [[Nexus War]] against Malygos and the blue dragonflight, both in keeping with their charge to preserve life and honoring Alexstrasza's agreement with [[Rhonin]] that the races of those who had freed her from the [[Dragonmaw clan]] would not come to harm. Alexstrasza aids the players in the battle against Malygos in the Eye of Eternity. She also appears at [[Angrathar the Wrathgate]] after the conclusion of the [[Veteran of the Wrathgate]] quest chain. She also appears to aid the adventurers in [[Twilight Highlands]] in the battles against Deathwing and the Twilight's Hammer. |
||
| + | *[[Ysera]] appears at the [[Emerald Dragonshrine]] in Dragonblight. [[Itharius|Lord Itharius]], brother of her consort [[Eranikus]], has been sent as her ambassador to Alexstrasza's [[Wyrmrest Accord]]. She also directs the efforts against the Twilight's Hammer and their elemental masters on [[Mount Hyjal]]. |
||
| + | *[[Nozdormu]] appears briefly during {{questlong|neutral|??|Mystery of the Infinite}} at the [[Bronze Dragonshrine]]. [[Chronormu]] (alias Chromie) is Nozdormu's ambassador to the Wyrmrest Accord. |
||
| + | *[[Deathwing]] appears (as Neltharion) in humanoid form in a flashback in the [[Prison of Yogg-Saron]] in [[Ulduar (instance)|Ulduar]], during a vision showing the creation of the [[Demon Soul|Dragon Soul]]. He made his return in [[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]] as the main antagonist, and probably will be second of the Dragon Aspects to die. [[Nalice]] is Deathwing's ambassador to the Wyrmrest Accord. |
||
| + | During a Q&A session at Blizzcon 2008 on October 11, 2008, a question was asked as to whether Deathwing will ever be seen within ''World of Warcraft''. The response, while vague, was positive, indicating that, at some unspecified future time, Deathwing would in fact appear in-world. He finally made his appearance (albeit as something of a cameo) in Ulduar, and will be a main antagonist of the [[Cataclysm]] expansion. |
||
| − | ===Facilities=== |
||
| − | * The world-famous universal [[Auction House]]. Anyone can trade here regardless of faction or affiliation! |
||
| − | * A handy [[Bank]]. Sit in the wonderfully soft and luxurious waiting area while you wait for a teller to become available. |
||
| − | * High-quality [[Forge]] & [[Anvil]] for any [[blacksmithing]] buffs out there. Used even by the [[Mithril Order]]. |
||
| − | * The renowned [[Inn]], nice hammocks and soft beds for people of all shapes and sizes. Continental breakfast for additional price. |
||
| − | * The friendly [[Stable Master]] who will gladly take care of your animal needs. |
||
| − | * Out the north gate — a [[Wyvern]] handler for the friendly [[Horde]] — to the south a [[Gryphon]] master for the amiable [[Alliance]] folk. |
||
| − | * Alchemists and engineers aplenty for those who wish to brush up on their skills. |
||
| − | * A teleportation pad for quick and safe arrival for those who have the [[Ultrasafe Transporter: Gadgetzan]]. |
||
| − | * A members-only discothèque, according to [[Rohan the Assassin]]. |
||
| + | During a Q&A session at Blizzcon 2010 on October 22, 2010, a question was asked about the Blue Dragonflight. The response was that in Cataclysm, Kalecgos is the new Blue Aspect. Also, [[Thrall]] may replace the Aspect of Earth, at least in the Battle with Deathwing. |
||
| − | ===The Cage=== |
||
| − | [[File:The_Cage.jpg|thumb|The Cage in the center of Gadgetzan.]] |
||
| + | {{AlsoSee|[[Legacy of the Aspects]]}} |
||
| − | In the center of Gadgetzan is a cage. It has one door on the north side. The walls of the cage block the neutral guards' line-of-sight, allowing Horde and Alliance to [[gank]] or otherwise slaughter each other to their content within it. However this must have been changed in a recent patch. If you try to fight inside the cage the guards will run in and beat you to a pulp! |

| − | ==Getting There== |
||
| − | Gadgetzan is located in [[Tanaris]]. It can be accessed by traveling through [[Thousand Needles]] and across the [[Shimmering Flats]], using a mountain pass on the southern edge of the flats to travel into Tanaris. The town is built at the base of the pass. |
||
| − | |||
| − | An alternate way to reach Gadgetzan for Alliance players is to swim south along the coast from [[Theramore]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | You can also take a portal to [[Caverns of time]] and run to Gadgetzan from there. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Players who've specialized in [[Gnomish Engineering]] can build a gadget that can teleport them directly to Gadgetzan. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Reputation== |
||
| − | Killing the [[Southsea Pirates]] and [[Wastewander]] nomads will increase your [[Reputation]] with the [[:Steamwheedle Cartel]]. Having a [[Friendly]] or higher Reputation will make the Guards help you in case of initiated violence against you. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Most of the quests associated with the Gadgetzan faction are located in [[Tanaris]]. |

||
| − | Gadgetzan: The Jewel of Tanaris |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Fara Boltbreaker]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''GADGETZAN – Sitting like a sapphire on the silvery-white sands of Tanaris, Gadgetzan is one of the greatest cities of Kalimdor and, to hear goblins speak, of the world itself. Using their ingenuity, the goblins of the Steamwheedle Cartel have tamed the desert and erected a trading outpost the likes of which none have seen before. This city is open to both members of the Horde and Alliance, provided they keep their weapons sheathed. The city of Gadgetzan features a neutral bank, an auction house run by goblin auctioneers, and vendors galore. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The first of these, the bank, accepts deposits from both the Horde and the Alliance and, working with the banks in Orgrimmar, Undercity, and Thunder Bluff as well as the banks in Ironforge, Stormwind, and Darnassus, allows access to deposits made anywhere in the world. The agreements and technology that allows the goblins to access the other banks and deposits made in them is a closely guarded goblin secret. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The second feature is the Auction House. The auction house in Gadgetzan, to hear the goblins speak, puts the houses in Orgrimmar and Ironforge to shame. The Gadgetzan auction house allows members of the Alliance and the Horde to sell goods that can be purchased by anyone, even members of the opposing faction. One of the most popular trades made through the auction house is the lucrative "pet trade." On any given day, one can walk into the Gadgetzan auction house and see humans trading kittens to the Horde and the Tauren trading prairie dogs to the Alliance. Some speculate that the trade in cuddly creatures may cause the two sides to come to terms yet. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The third major feature of Gadgetzan is the sheer variety of vendors and professionals. In Gadgetzan, one can find materials for many professions from cooking to enchanting. A variety of armor and weapons is sold with no questions asked. |
||
| − | |||
| − | These three things alone make Gadgetzan an ideal city. The rest of the city's amenities, including an inn with beds for all races and sizes, a forge and anvil used and praised by the Mithril Order itself, a Stable Master who is an expert in handling animals from the world over, as well as transportation by Wyvern or Gryphon are just icing on the cake. Taken altogether, all of these things make Gadgetzan one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, city in the world. |
||
| − | |||
| − | That's not to say that Gadgetzan is perfect, of course. There are some minor problems that pester the people of this desert paradise. Small things like the Wastewander bandits who threaten the Waterspring Field. Adventurers who beat the bandits back earn the gratitude of the goblins and will be, in time, suitably rewarded. Of course, sometimes the problems come from the adventurers themselves. The Gadgetzan envisioned by the goblins is a trade haven but sometimes the Gadgetzan that really exists resembles a battlefield. Such battles are finished quickly once the Bruisers arrive on the scene, though, so future visitors need not worry overmuch about the violence they hear about in Gadgetzan. Aside from a few minor quirks, the city of Gadgetzan truly is the goblin-built jewel of Tanaris.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==World of Warcraft: Cataclysm== |
||
| − | {{cata-section}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | The ocean has flooded in close to the town, turning the area outside the eastern wall into beach-front property and obliterating [[Steamwheedle Port]]. Gadgetzan now functions as a port, and a new ship is being built just outside the town. |

| − | * Although Gadgetzan looks like, and appears to be, a reference to the desert town of Mos Eisley from ''Star Wars'', it is even likelier to be a reference to "Barter Town" in the movie ''[[wikipedia:Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome|Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome]]''; the main area in which the movie is situated is located in a desert and has an arena in the middle, similar to the one in Gadgetzan. Further evidence of this is the NPC named [[Katrina Turner]], whose name is very similar to Tina Turner, who played a lead part in that movie. |

Revision as of 00:52, 23 July 2011
Dragon Aspects (aka Great Aspects or simply Aspects) are leaders of five dragonflights, and were created by the titans from the dragon known as Galakrond.[1] The titans empowered the five dragons, each with specific powers, to lead the dragonflights and watch over ancient Kalimdor and its evolution[2] (at the time, the sole continent of Azeroth).
The Aspects in Nordrassil.
The Dragon Aspects
Nozdormu the Timeless One
- The massive bronze dragon chosen by Aman'Thul to guard time itself and police the ever-spinning pathways of fate and destiny.
- Alexstrasza the Life-Binder
- The red leviathan chosen by Eonar to safeguard all living creatures on the world.
- Ysera the Dreamer
- The lithe green dragon, and Alexstrasza's younger sister, chosen by Eonar to watch over the growing wilds of the world from her verdant realm, the Emerald Dream.
- Kalecgos
- Neltharion the Earth-Warder
- The mighty black wyrm chosen by Khaz'goroth and given dominion over the earth and the deep places of the world. He was driven mad by the whisperings of the Old Gods and managed to drive the blue dragonflight to near extinction. He is now known as Deathwing.
The Aspects in World of Warcraft
Nozdormu, Ysera, Alexstrasza, Malygos and Neltharion, The Originals Aspects in their humanoid forms.
All of the Aspects appear in one form or another:
- Malygos was the first Aspect confirmed to appear in WotLK. He is the boss of the Eye of Eternity within the Nexus, the homebase of the blue dragonflight, on the island of Coldarra in the Borean Tundra. Malygos leads his dragonflight in a war against all mortal spellcasters, believing that magic was running amok throughout the world because of mortals' reckless use of its powers.[4] Malygos can be killed by players, thus making him the first of the Dragon Aspects to die.
- Alexstrasza appears in humanoid form at the Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight. The red dragonflight appears to be at the forefront in defending the mortal races in the Nexus War against Malygos and the blue dragonflight, both in keeping with their charge to preserve life and honoring Alexstrasza's agreement with Rhonin that the races of those who had freed her from the Dragonmaw clan would not come to harm. Alexstrasza aids the players in the battle against Malygos in the Eye of Eternity. She also appears at Angrathar the Wrathgate after the conclusion of the
[Veteran of the Wrathgate] quest chain. She also appears to aid the adventurers in Twilight Highlands in the battles against Deathwing and the Twilight's Hammer. - Ysera appears at the Emerald Dragonshrine in Dragonblight. Lord Itharius, brother of her consort Eranikus, has been sent as her ambassador to Alexstrasza's Wyrmrest Accord. She also directs the efforts against the Twilight's Hammer and their elemental masters on Mount Hyjal.
- Nozdormu appears briefly during [??] Mystery of the Infinite at the Bronze Dragonshrine. Chronormu (alias Chromie) is Nozdormu's ambassador to the Wyrmrest Accord.
- Deathwing appears (as Neltharion) in humanoid form in a flashback in the Prison of Yogg-Saron in Ulduar, during a vision showing the creation of the Dragon Soul. He made his return in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm as the main antagonist, and probably will be second of the Dragon Aspects to die. Nalice is Deathwing's ambassador to the Wyrmrest Accord.
[??] During a Q&A session at Blizzcon 2008 on October 11, 2008, a question was asked as to whether Deathwing will ever be seen within World of Warcraft. The response, while vague, was positive, indicating that, at some unspecified future time, Deathwing would in fact appear in-world. He finally made his appearance (albeit as something of a cameo) in Ulduar, and will be a main antagonist of the Cataclysm expansion.
During a Q&A session at Blizzcon 2010 on October 22, 2010, a question was asked about the Blue Dragonflight. The response was that in Cataclysm, Kalecgos is the new Blue Aspect. Also, Thrall may replace the Aspect of Earth, at least in the Battle with Deathwing.
