[edit] Revised Origins
I was wondering if this should be rewrited to respect the retcon done to explain the origins of the Dranei. I believe it would be a lot more accurate to adjust the text rather than pointing out to another source. However, I am not familiar with the lore enough to do such a rewrite. I just think that in terms of consistency, the story should be revised appropriatly.Youkai no unmei 18:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
That picture - I don't think it's sargeras, just some concept art for Warcraft III.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.2.114.167 (talk • contribs) 01:40, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. I always pictured Sargeras as still looking like a beautiful Titan, belying his incredible evil. There's also some seriously bad grammar near the bottom of the article. Noneofyourbusiness 19:33, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
At Chris Metzen's art page (http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/warcraft_metzen016b.html#gallery), he labels it as "The Deceiver." Given that Kil'jaeden can shapeshift, I'd say there's a pretty good chance that that picture is of him. I any case, I'm pretty sure it's not Sargeras, so I'm taking it off. If anyone who reads this knows how to upload images, there's a good picture of Sargeras on his page at wowwiki.com.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.237.144.7 (talk • contribs) 17:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gibberish
The last paragraph on the page has this sentence:
- But some have come to know as Gul'dan was in the Tomb he had found a part as to Sargeras.
This sentence is gibberish to me. I don't know what it's supposed to say, but someone who does know ought to fix it. SpectrumDT 11:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Hmm well guldan went into sargeras tomb to find the "eye of sargeras". I dont exactly know what the athor intended to say. Maaybe he mean to say "However Gul'dan was able to find out about sargeras death and went to his tomb to recover the "eye of sargeras" a powerful artifact that contain a fraction of Sargeras powers—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.76.211.189 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm deleting it. It's total giberish and only hurts the article by being here. InfritII 15:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Voice and Tone
I don't play WoW, and know next-to-nothing about it (one reason why I was reading this article in the first place). However, the overall tone of this article seems a bit . . . flowery to me. It's just overblown:
"As madness consumed the last vestiges of Sargeras' bold mind, he began to see order itself as folly, and that chaos and destruction are the optimal absolutes in the universe. He blamed the Titans for the creation of failure and after what appeared to be endless years of recollection and pondering, he deemed all of the Titans' work obsolete. In one fell blow, Sargeras unleashed the confined demons, who seemed like pawns, standing insignificant before his might. Without the slightest tinge of hesitation, they bowed down and swore eternal service and loyalty, regardless of pain, torment or toil foreboding. Anew, they served not a noble bronze titan born of good, but a flaming, horned monstrosity consumed by darkness and guided by death. A titan whose hair and beard combusted into flames, horns of smoke protruded from his forehead and his chest was a chasm sheltering fury and revulsion."
"In one fell blow"? "A chasm sheltering fury and revulsion"? It's not exactly typical WP language. I'd fix it myself, but I feel like I'd be doing the topic a disservice since I know so little about all of this. Just consider it a small stylistic criticism. Esrever 00:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Thats's because apparently someone copy/pasted from official sources without taking the time to remove the artistic narrative.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.92.192.254 (talk • contribs) 22:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
