Quick note to the WoW players

A fanboi snuck into E3 and took pictures. New Alliance race is confirmed as Eredar.

Closeup of an Eredar, though I assume this is not the final version as this is kind of sub par graphics-wise: http://www.wowwiki.com/images/b/b4/4116772yv.jpg

Have fun :wink:

that doesn't make sense! archimonde and kil'jaeden are both freakin huge compared to the other races... eredar are supposed to be giant. + why would the eredar of the burning legion join the alliance?
weird.

Well, it's not neccesarily Eredar. Those could be the pictures of The Broken or uncorrupted Draenei. I'm not enough of a lorenut to tell you.

I found the backstory for this Eredar-like race off the WoW forums, THIS MAY NOT BE REAL.

"As the thunderous steps of Archimonde's army approached the summit of Mount Hyjal, all hope seemed lost. The camps of Jaina Proudmoore and the Warchief Thrall were overrun, and the forces of Archdruid Malfurian Stormrage were fighting for their life.

Then, the moment feared by all those fighting for the fate of Azeroth arrived. The Night Elf army was overrun, and the great Eredar warlock, destroyer of countless worlds, arrogantly marched to the World Tree. With flames surging in his eyes, he grasped the trunk with one vile claw... and the entire summit was shattered in a burst of brilliant, white light.

When the radiance faded, nothing remained of Archimonde but a charred skeleton, resting in the branches of the fatally-damaged Nordrassil. Malfurion, Jaina, and Thrall emerged from hiding; it was all an elaborate trap designed by Malfurion to take advantage of the demon's arrogance. In his lust for the World Tree's power, he did not notice the gathering flock of wisps take their positions around him and detonate themselves in a torrent of nature's fury.

With their commander gone, the remainder of the Burning Legion's army was cast into disarray. Malfurion and his companions escaped from the summit of Mount Hyjal, and the remaining Night Elves silently reflected upon the sacrifices of their Wisp companions.

Yet, the spirits of the Wisps lived on. Floating invisibly throughout Mount Hyjal and nearby Felwood, they began to slowly intertwine with the demons that had taken up residence there. Almost imperceptively their presence began to twist the forms and minds of the local Satyrs and other foul, demonic creatures.

Now, a handful of these creatures have been transformed in mind and body; they have the thoughts of the Night Elf spirits coarsing through their veins, yet their bodies mutated to take the form of the last creature the Wisps had made contact with -- the Eredar warlock, Archimonde.

Ashamed of their foul appearance, these creatures took into hiding beneath the roots of the shattered World Tree, Nordrassil. Despite their attempts to hide themselves from the outside world, they found themselves under constant seige from the demons who came to view them as abominations.

Now, with their very existance threatened, these Eredar -- demon in form, Night Elf in mind -- have made an impassioned plea to join the Alliance."

Doubt that's real. I've already seen it on the forums.
#6
A pretty desperate race I would say. I really don't remember them in the wc3 campaigns.

OMG WHY EREDAR LOL. I was guessin Draenei, but I would never expect it to be Eredar...SOME NOOBS WERE COMPLAINING THAT BLOOD ELVES SHOULD'VE GONE TO ALLIANCE INSTEAD....IF YOU'RE ONE OF THEM JUST TO LET YOU KNOW FYI THERE'S NO MORE ROOM FOR ELVES.....We're occupied with night elves thank you come again...Blood elves went against the Night Elves thank you come again...but I really didn't see where the gnomes came in inside wc3camp??? But oh well those cute little mini peeps... :D :D :D

Okayyyyy, although I Dont Play WoW, That just sounds wrong, but it could be a misinterpreted race (i guess) :shock:
#10
umm isnt it the broken
#11
Nah, its some Eredar like race

What specifically they are we don't know. Last time I checked, Eredar don't have blue eye glows. The story might be interesting when it comes to light
#13
Well, i guess the information i got could support this.
Well, it coulda been worse.
#14
holy hell?!


hmm... its okay i guess. atleast now alliance has a beastial race. :P
#15
apparently now they're an "uncorrupted" race of draenei that descended from the eredar (and look exactly like mini archimondes?!). laaame.
