Wretched
The Wretched were once blood elves, but they failed to control their magical addiction. The Wretched are thin elves with a large, bony
forehead, claw-like fingers and toes, blue eyes and strange growths on their backs that glow with an eerie blue light. Recently, with the
events of the Sunwell and Kael'thas summoning the Burning Legion, a new type of Wretched has appeared. After the events of the War
against the Lich King, some high elves became Wretched.

The Wretched are currently scattered throughout Eversong Woods and lack any general leadership, but a few notable Wretched have
stepped up and organized raids. The Wretched have infiltrated the Ruins of Silvermoon, Sunsail Anchorage and even Falthrien
Academy on Sunstrider Isle. This "kind" of blood elf is believed to be relatively new, considering the fact that they can only have
existed since after the corruption of the Sunwell.

This transformation can occur in an instant as soon6as the blood elf succumbs to his or her thirst for magic (as Magistrix Elosai's
transformation into the Wretched shows). Some people might think of them as Broken counterparts, both are shunned by their original
species, both were changed by magic, the difference being that the Wretched had a choice, while the Broken did not. However, the fact
that she only stayed a Wretched for a short period might imply that the mutation is reversible or even curable.

Origins of the Fel Orc: Gul’Dan

Little is known of Gul'dan's early history except that he was originally a member of the Shadowmoon
clan, and showed extraordinary talent with working with the elemental powers of shamanism.
Because of this, he was chosen as the honored apprentice to the elder shaman Ner'zhul, chieftain of
the Shadowmoon Clan and spiritual leader of the orcs.

As Ner'zhul rallied the orcs for a war against the draenei at the behest of Kil'jaeden (hiding behind
the facade of a powerful ancestor referred to as "The Beautiful One"), Gul'dan supported Ner'zhul
fully. However, when Ner'zhul began to notice that they could no longer call upon the power of the
elements or the ancestors, the shaman began to sense something was amiss. He discovered at
Oshu'gun that he had been duped by Kil'jaeden and attempted to back out.

To Ner'zhul's horror, he discovered that Gul'dan had seen everything at Oshu'gun and told Kil'jaeden
of it all before Ner'zhul returned. Kil'jaeden approached Gul'dan and offered him the chance to
become a master of warlocks' magic, on the condition that he help bring the orcs under his banner.
Gul'dan accepted with no qualms whatsoever, and immediately began the work of reshaping the orcs,
hitherto a collection of simple shamanistic clans, into an unstoppable and bloodthirsty Horde.

As a necessity of his bid for power, Gul'dan trained a number of like-minded and powerful orcs,
whom he named the Shadow Council. The Council was soon using its power and influence to direct
almost every aspect of orc society, so as to distract those few who opposed the dark ideals of their
masters, Gul'dan and Kil'jaeden.

Origins of the Dwarves: The Titan Experiments

Titans were experimenting at creating, "earthen", a race of guardians from living stone
in many facilities all over Azeroth (Bael Modan, Uldaman, Ulduar etc). Troggs were
the mistaken first attempt at crafting earthen due to a matrix destabilization which
occured when earthen were utilized in high-stress environments. They sealed the
mistakes in vaults all over the world.

The titan scientists referred to their "successful" second race experiment as Series
Two.Series Two earthen were proven to be susceptible to the Curse of Flesh and over
thousands of years of evolution many became dwarves. A new series of earthen were
created in Northrend that proved to be immune to the Curse of Flesh.

When the world was sundered by the Well of Eternity's implosion, the earthen were
deeply affected. Something happened to change them, perhaps the War of the
Ancients, and

imposed hibernation, they found themselves stripped of their powers and changed into
flesh mortal creatures, which were encountered by humans and given their name.

the elements, these include beings such as elementals, spirits

spirits are eternals. The Elemental Lords are known to be
classified as Eternals, however, their minions are not Eternals.

The shamans draw their power from five natural elements:

Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and the Wilds. The Elemental Spirits
are primordial elementals which embody these elements.
They do not appear to be connected with the Old Gods, nor do
they appear connected to their Elemental lieutenants. The
Spirits communicate with the shamans through trances,
dreams, images and emotions.

Their exact motivations remain unknown, and it is unclear

whether they act according to some grander design, or
whether they act in reaction to events that threaten the
balance. The Spirits may not even be connected to Azeroth,
having a presence upon most, if not all, living worlds in the
Great Dark Beyond.

Eternals
Eternals are Azeroth's immortal beings. These demigod-like
beings are immortals with nearly divine powers. Eternals are
conduits to divine power for several faiths. Eternal is the term
used for many of the gods, goddesses, demigods, deities,
divinities, and other revered beings who have interacted in
Azeroth's history and molded the world.
