Conquest of the Horde

Quote:Draenei:

132 years ago - Massacre - The Orcs, fuelled by the demon blood of Mannaroth, turn into savage warriors and suddenly turn on the Draenei, rampaging through their lands and killing as many of the peaceful Draenei as they can. A very large majority of the Draenei were killed and the remaining either were corrupted and turned into Broken or Lost while the others found refuge in Zangermarsh.

If this were true, wouldn't it make Grom Hellscream well over a hundred and fifty years old? Not only that, according to the current timeline wiki article, the Rise of the Horde novel began in year -46, ending year -19. With the consumption of Mannoroth's blood happening toward the middle/end of the book, and the Shadow Pact ending year -40, I would say that the massacre took place in the early -40's. This would leave Grom at the current age (if he wasn't dead) of around seventy. Taking Saurfang as an example, and the quote from the RPG books that those who drank demonic blood have had prolonged life spans, it wouldn't be out of the question to assume Grom would be more than capable of killing the Pit Lord and ending the blood curse in his sixties.

In the end, this would leave the massacre of the Draenei at around seventy-five years ago.

Thanks for that. The actual date for everything involving Draenei is all skewed with various sources or just plain hidden. I'll trust you on this one.

Ah! So this is what's causing the confusion.

This timeline says that the War of the Shifting Sands was 8,900 years ago, which, according to the "official" server timeline (added to the wiki by Kretol), is not true.

Thanks go to FlyingSquirrel for pointing this out.

Edited the SRET to also reflect it.

I don't know how significant this would be as a racial event, or worth mentioning in the timeline, but do you think the War of the Three Hammers should be included for the dorfs? Yeah, I know you'd have to be a wicked old one to participate but I think it's an interesting piece of history for them.

About time I got this done.

I have refitted all the dates in this to the current timeline and added in a little more information. It now fits.

This is wonderful! Purely, sheerly wonderful!

Fantastic! Thank you, Bounty.

Can someone with the ability perhaps upgrade this to Cata and add in Worgen/Goblins? Thanks.
