Loken subdued Hodir and Freya, corrupting them into complacency with Yogg-Saron. He arranged the death of Mimiron, making it look like a lab accident, though Mimiron's mechagnome followers would create a new mechagnome body to house the Keeper's soul. Īfter Thorim retreated to the Temple of Storms in despair, Loken was desperate to cover his actions, even if it meant using Yogg-Saron's power to do so, for if Algalon or the Pantheon ever found out his life would be forfeit. Loken would stop the war between Thorim's and Arngrim's forces with an army he had created with the Forge of Wills, but unknown to Loken Yogg-Saron had planted the curse of flesh inside the forge, which would slowly convert titan-forged into flesh and could also spread to those forged before the curse was created. Horrified at what he had done but too scared to tell Thorim the truth, Loken tricked Thorim into believing that it had been the work of Arngrim, the king of the frost giants, turning Thorim against his allies. Yogg-Saron, from his prison within Ulduar, muddled Loken's thoughts and made him lash out at Sif, scared at the thought of losing her, and he killed her by accident.
One of the mighty keepers and son of Odyn, Loken, had an affair with Sif, the wife of his brother Thorim.
By consuming kaja'mite, they were transformed into a new, highly intelligent race known as the goblins. One of these subjects was a small primitive life race that roamed around the forests near Ulduar. He found that the ore was extremely potent and that it increased the intellect of his subjects. The keeper Mimiron had discovered kaja'mite and, attempting to determinate its properties, he experimented on various races. The Aspects were empowered despite his objections, and so Odyn took a section of Ulduar and raised it into the sky, creating the Halls of Valor, and in doing so relinquished his position of Prime Designate. When the other Keepers decided to ask the Pantheon to empower the Dragon Aspects for their heroism against Galakrond, Odyn was vehemently against it, stating that only titan-forged could be trusted to defend Azeroth. And the giants, who were given tasks ranging from battle to craftsmanship.
The tol'vir who acted as watchers and servitors of the keepers. The mechagnomes, who managed and constructed the great wonders of the titanic civilizations. The iron vrykul, who served as defenders of the various titan-forged locations. Under these watchers were other titan-forged and their nascent civilizations, the mighty Earthen, who tunneled within the deep places of the earth. For his leadership, determination and courage, he was granted the title of Prime Designate, leader of the titan-forged on Azeroth, and was tasked with watching Yogg-Saron's prison and maintaining the Forge of Wills.
They ultimately devised and succeeded in the final plan to bring down Yogg-Saron. He was imbued with the powers of Aman'Thul and together with Tyr, he battled and defeated Ragnaros the Firelord. These Keepers, as they would come to be known as, were led by one known as Odyn, who took command of the titan-forged armies against the forces of the Old Gods. The massive titan city of Ulduar laid within the region that would come to be known as the Storm Peaks, ruled over by several titanic watchers chosen by the titans themselves. The area was the birthplace of numerous would-be empires, though not all managed to survive to the modern day, and even fewer in the forms they originally took.įoremost among all other civilizations were that of the titanic watchers and their servants. As with the other continents, it was once part of the original Kalimdor landmass that was broken apart during the Sundering. It is one of the most infamous locations in all of Azeroth. Often called "the roof of the world" and sometimes "the crown of Azeroth", Northrend is a frozen wasteland that lies far to the north.
