Lost One The Lost Ones are a highly mutated and devolved subrace of draenei . They have devolved further than the Broken and many have become more savage and primitive . The term can be used in two senses : to refer to all of these devolved draenei or to refer solely to the group of Lost Ones living in the Fallow Sanctuary in the Swamp of Sorrows on Azeroth . Despite having devolved , Lost Ones may still be referred as draenei . The race is referred to as " lost one " ( lower case ) on " World of Warcraft " , and the organization is referred as " Lost Ones " ( upper case and plural ) . However the race is referred to as " Lost One " ( upper case ) in " " . History . The draenei that originated in the world of Argus moved to the world they called Draenor and began living among the races of that world . The draenei lived alongside the orc s for countless generations . However , when the orc clans of Draenor became the Horde at the behest of the Burning Legion , their blades were first whetted on the peaceful draenei tribes . Nearly the entire race was eradicated by the massacre . Soon after , the demonic energies that now seethed through Draenor began to corrupt and twist many of the surviving draenei , turning them into Broken draenei . Later , when that world exploded and crumbled into what is now known as Outland , a few managed to survive the cataclysm . However , some of them were further devolved into a more primitive stage than the Broken draenei . These draenei became the Lost Ones , and are usually shunned by the rest of the draenei . They have forsaken the Holy Light practices which they once had and have instead started to use warlock magic . They have become violent and unpredictable , even toward their own kind . However some like Kum ' isha the Collector and Elder Kuruti display a clear , even advanced intelligence but they have yet to rejoin the Draenei due to believing them to have abandoned them or wishing to maintain their own independence . Tribes . There are several tribes of Lost Ones , both on Azeroth and Outland . The Lost Ones tribe that can be found on Azeroth is sometimes referred to simply as the " Lost Ones " . When the Dark Portal was reopened into Azeroth , a small number of Broken draenei lead by Magtoor travelled through scarred by the ordeal of their world ’ s destruction . Called the Broken Exiles , they live in the Harborage within the Swamp of Sorrows . However , many of these Broken draenei ' s sanity slipped from them , accelerated by their separation from their homeworld . They devolved , sequestered themselves from outsiders , and began attacking anyone and everyone on sight . These ragged wretches now call themselves the " Lost Ones " , in mourning of their former world . These Lost Ones separated from Magtoor ' s Broken Exiles and established a colony in the Swamp of Sorrows called the Fallow Sanctuary , though some have begun to travel beyond the Swamp ’ s borders in recent times . Some of these draenei Lost Ones , called Portal Seeker s , continually wander around the Blasted Lands desperately seeking a means to return home . This particular tribe has pledged service to the Alliance under the lead of Kum ' isha the Collector . Another factor that keeps these draenei alive is revenge against the orc s who once lived among them . They will take any risk to see an orc killed . These draenei have spent lifetimes in search of just one of the Flawless Draenethyst Sphere crystals for a possibility that a rift to their homeland could be opened , only to meet horrible fates , their purpose unfulfilled . There are several Lost One tribes on Outland . There are three tribes in Zangarmarsh : the Daggerfen , Feralfen , and Umbrafen . There is also a group in Terokkar Forest , the Tuurem , and another one in Nagrand , the Windyreed . Friendly lost ones are summoned by Kum ' isha the Collector in the Blasted Lands as part of his questline . Name . The name first came from the tribe in the Swamp of Sorrows who called themselves the " Lost Ones " . This was in mourning of their former world that they were homesick for , and unable to return to with the Dark Portal closed . According to " Rise of the Horde " , these draenei who had been living on Azeroth for years were nicknamed " lost ones " , but are still considered as draenei to others . The short story " Unbroken " hints that the name was given to them by the draenei in Outland , long before they came to Azeroth , because their minds had become " lost " .
