Lore Discussion

This is where all random discussion about DoE goes. If it doesn't feel like it fits anywhere else but is still related to the map, this is the place to post it.

I have said it before and I will say it again; ZO is based on my lore, it is not canon. Zivyral is not a wyrm, that is just a textbook word Kaome chose to describe him. The character Kao was referring to, though, was indeed Zivyral.

Oh blah, that's what I get for rushing, I mixed him up. He is the Council Member of Agony, but the Voidwalker of Corruption. There ya' go.

He is a temporary husk functioning as Zivyral's avatar.

Uh, nope. Zivyral and Kephket are their own greater voidwalkers, each complete with different armies and so forth.

I understand this, it is just I was unsure if the character is truly Zivyral.

From the description, it can be none other than him. I think the ambiguity was intentional for storyboard suspense, though.

Is there any kind of story behind the massive trebuchets on the Order and Bane, and why they're so similar?

That is design. Otherwise one of them would've been completely annihilated before the war even began.

Eh, filesize, consistency in the map. In reality, there were siege engines, but they were the Order's. The bane had all but been crumpled by the first war; Azzr was strong, but he couldn't beat the entire Order and KD alone. The Bane, however, did have some siege engines (Not WC3 ones...) left over, though nothing to really shake a stick at.

I assume that since you've said that many of the Wc3 models look nothing like what they portray in lore, that the faction merchants are not actually pandas. Although I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like something you would use in an epic storyline.

Pandas don't exist in the world of AotZ. I just think that what I use for a merchant really doesn't matter, so I used pandas for cool-factor.

Baneites (everybody's favourite bluchix'n'bludoodz) - besides the skintone, are there any other physiological differences between them and humans? For example height, build, facial features, hair colour, eye colour etc.

No one of consequence, children of the VZ. No one of consequence.

Much of their evolution is the same barring a few things. They are very fair-skinned, they would get really bad sunburn in normal sunlight, their hair is very thin and most of them simply don't have any. Those who do have hair usually have white, grayish, or pale blue colors, anything different is dyed. Their eye colors follow mostly the same pattern as humans.

Otherwise, they run the gamut of heights, physical builds, and so forth that normal humans do.

Do they generally LIKE running around with clubs or are they just as intelligent (and at times retarded) as humans? And are they given to similar emotions and actions like betrayal and the like?

Seems that the WC3 models aren't entirely accurate in that they're not super-mutated with tentacles and such, says Dusk. And the unit quotes sound pretty human... Other than, well, being crazy, but there are humans like that.
Can you hear them?

I was wondering.


Since Glasse can bend light to make his allies invisible or even himself, is it possible that he could direct light onto light sensitive paper to create images or even bend light in certain places to cause it to reflect in the shape of an object(Creating Mirror Images)?


Where do the Khamsin live? Under the sand? I think one time it brought up when you guys were talking about Glyphe, Stille, Kassar. I was just wondering.


Is Maltheron more of a mage? Or a hardcore melee person? Because in ZO he doesn't seem all that weak, it's more like if your stripped of his ability to call down meteors and fire, he could beat the crap out of you with his hands... Another thing... Can Maltheron cause the force of gravity to change around him?
