However, before they departed, they charged the greatest species of the world, the Dragonflights, with the task of watching over Kalimdor, lest any force should threaten its perfect tranquility. Satisfied that the small world had been ordered and that their work was done, the Titans prepared to leave Azeroth. As twilight fell on the final day of their labors, the Titans named the continent Kalimdor: 'land of eternal starlight'. Over time, plants, trees, monsters, and creatures of every kind began to thrive on the primordial continent. Its potent energies would nurture the bones of the world and empower life to take root in the land's rich soil. The lake, which they named the Well of Eternity, was to be the fount of life for the world. At the continent's center, the Titans crafted a lake of scintillating energies. One of the Titanic Watchers, Mimiron (also refered to as 'The Grand Architect') created the mechagnomes within Ulduar, apparently as servants and caretakers much like the earthen.įor many ages the Titans moved and shaped the earth, until at last there remained one perfect continent. To keep an eye on their creations the Titans created the Titanic Watchers, or Sentinels. To help them dredge out the seas and lift the land from the sea floor, the Titans created the immense but gentle sea giants. To help guard and protect the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, the Titans created the stone mogu to guard and protect the Vale and the surrounding region. To help them carve out the fathomless caverns beneath the earth, the Titans created the dwarf-like earthen from magical, living stone. The Titans empowered a number of races to help them fashion the world. The Titans saw that the threat was contained and set to work. With the elementals' departure, nature calmed, and the world settled into a peaceful harmony. Without the Old Gods' power to keep their raging spirits bound to the physical world, the elementals were banished to an abyssal plane, where they would contend with one another for all eternity. Since they could not destroy the Old Gods, the Titans decided to chain the evil gods far beneath the surface of the world.

However it was discovered that the Old Gods had managed to 'infect' the planet so early in its development that they were irreversibly linked with it. One by one, the elemental lords fell, and their forces dispersed.

Though the elementals were powerful beyond mortal comprehension, their combined forces could not stop the mighty Titans. The Pantheon, disturbed by the Old Gods' penchant for evil, waged war upon the elementals and their dark masters. These elementals, who worshipped a race of unfathomably evil beings known only as the Old Gods, vowed to drive the Titans back and keep their world inviolate from the invaders' metallic touch. As the Titans made their way across the primordial landscape, they encountered a number of hostile elemental beings. Along the journey of the Titans they happened upon a small world that its inhabitants would later name Azeroth.
