Titanic creations Eonar , the Titan patron of all life , gave a portion of her power to the red leviathan , Alexstrasza . Ever after , Alexstrasza would be known as the Life - Binder , and she would work to safeguard all living creatures within the world . Due to her supreme wisdom and limitless compassion for all living things , Alexstrasza was crowned the Dragonqueen and given dominion over her kind . Khaz ' goroth , the Titan shaper and forger of the world , bestowed some of his vast power upon the mighty black wyrm , Neltharion . The great - hearted Neltharion , known afterwards as the Earth - Warder , was given dominion over the earth and the deep places of the world . He embodied the strength of the world and served as Alexstrasza ' s greatest supporter . Norgannon , the Titan lore keeper and master - magician , granted the blue dragon , Malygos , a portion of his vast power . From then on , Malygos would be known as the Spell - Weaver , the guardian of magic and hidden arcanum . Aman ' Thul , the Highfather of the Pantheon , bestowed a portion of his cosmic power upon the massive bronze dragon , Nozdormu . The Highfather empowered Nozdormu to guard time itself and police the ever - spinning pathways of fate and destiny . The stoic , honorable Nozdormu became known as the Timeless One After blessing the red leader , Eonar also blessed Alexstrasza ' s younger sister , the lithe green dragon Ysera , with a portion of nature ' s influence . Ysera fell into an eternal trance , bound to the waking Dream of Creation . Known as the Dreamer , she would watch over the growing wilds of the world from her verdant realm , the Emerald Dream . Black Dragons were once , like their aspect Neltharion , the defenders of Azeroth , living deep in the caverns of the earth . They shaped the lands , raised mountains , and created valleys . For countless millennia the black dragons and the other flights lived in peace and harmony and worked together to safeguard Azeroth from all forms of violence and destruction . Races . Earthen . Earthen are stony proto - beings , similar to dwarves , that were created by the Titan s to help shape the world of Azeroth . They have at least two physical forms , those primarily seen in Uldaman and those primarily seen in Ulduar . The history of the earthen and their transformation into the races known as trogg s and dwarves can be found recorded in the Discs of Norgannon in Uldaman . Birthed from the stone , the mountain giants were created to shape the world ’ s mountains . Once they roamed everywhere , crafting the craggy peaks and carving the valleys of Azeroth . Now , few remain to carry out their work . Those left , though , are considered mighty creatures of mythic power and are seen as the mightiest warriors in the world . Giant . The giant has a thick humanoid build and weathered and rocky skin . Its arms are very long for its build , while its legs are quite short . This great creature looks to be composed of roughly hewn stone , patched with moss . Its fists are the size of human torsos , each of its fingers the width of a human arm . It rumbles as it stares down at you . Titans created the sea giants to dredge the oceans and to serve as guardians of Azeroth ’ s coastlines and oceans , and the fierce giants act as protectors of the waters even now . They keep a wary eye on ships and upon those who make their living on the ocean , such as fisherfolk . While not evil creatures , sea giants care nothing for the laws of land dwellers or the lives of the small beings that trespass in the waves . They tolerate no opposition — on the rare occasion when a sea giant issues a warning , he does so only once . Sea giants rarely interact with other races save to drive off trespassers or punish those who befoul the oceans . They live underwater but rise regularly to patrol their coastlines . They are impressive , more than 30 feet tall and powerfully built . Storm giants are capable of summoning small storms . Myths say the titans created them . When the titans disappeared , the storm giants remained and claimed Ulduar . They developed crystalline golems to aid them in their research and to defend them . Over time the giants dwindled in number and grew ever more reclusive . They usually kept to themselves , hidden in their caves and tunnels below the surface , and avoided visitors . Soon only a handful remained . The giants are a dying race desperately trying to avoid their fate . They seemed to think another race would vanquish them some day , and so they hid in the Storm Peaks and Ulduar rather than girding for battle . They are too frightened to battle the Scourge , though apparently they hate it . They have since moved into the Howling Fjord . Tol ' vir . The species maintained the titan repositories and machinery that the titans left behind .
