    This is about how the sheepmen would fit into World of Warcraft:

    The Sheepmen are an ancient, six limbed race that existed even before the titans came to Azeroth. After the Titans had sealed the old gods into the deepest places of the world, they forged and ordered Azeroth. Unwilling to obey and fit into to titans, in their eyes emotionless order, they fought against the titans. Their mighty Warriors, which wielded giant two-handed Weapons in one hand and their powerful magical leader, called the Doomsheep were unmatched after the Old Gods fall, but nothing could stop the will of the titans. Unable to completely defeat them, they burried them deep into the Planet, like they did with the Old Gods, but somewhere else. After the titans had left Azeroth, the Sheepmen were forgotten. Only ancient and long lost legends of the Trolls spoke of them. But Deathwings rise broke the surface of the world, and released the Sheepmen from their prison. The struggling against the Old Gods whispers nearly broke their mind and made them bloodthirsty and raging. Hardly anything remained of the peaceful and grass eating nature of the Sheepmen. They may be free from the rule of the Old Gods, but paid the price of sanity. The new warchief of the Horde, Garrosh Hellscream, has made a pact with the still ruling Doomsheep and now he's sending them into the territories of his enemies, especially the humans, to teach them that the sound "MÄH" is able to trigger an incredible fear in every living being........

    Taking the sheep humanoid picture and making it even creepier! They would fit into World of Warcraft if Blizzard ever wanted to make a horror style WoW game. XD

    I think we really need those... We needed centaurs in the first place, so these would be awesome.

    I suppose they're the first ones to invent those mechanical sheep bombs to distract their enemies. :P

    The Doomsheep is the spirituell leader of the Sheepmen. It got this name from its people, so he would bring doom to their enemies. Back in old days, it's power could even rival with a titan. The Doomsheep led the Sheepmen against the Old Gods, and it also led them against the titans. Even though those were all battles they couldn't win, the Doomsheep refused to obey and sell his kin to anyone, only wanting them to live in peace. After the Old Gods fall, the Doomsheep was able to barely defeat a titan, but it couldn't win against the whole Pantheon. The Sheepmen were burried under the planets surface, and delivered to the Old Gods whispers. The Doomsheep drained all the words the Old Gods sent into the Sheepmens heads to himself, and saved his people from their control. After Deathwings rise, the now extremely weakened Doomsheep led it's people through the land, searching for a save place. They were attacked by a band of Gnolls, and in their drained state they couldn't defend themselves. They were saved by a group of adventurers of the Horde, and the Doomsheep explained their situation to them. They were sent to Orgrimmar, and Garrosh felt the bloodthirst and rage sleeping inside the Sheepmen. He knew that those dangerous creatures could be useful. He gave the Sheepmen shelter, but in exchange they had to help the Horde in battle. Now the Doomsheep is inside a tower in Orgrimmar, observing what his people had become with deep sorrow. Without the presence of the Doomsheep flowing trough their bodies, the Sheepmen were hardly able to focus their rage about their imprisoning only on their enemies. The Doomsheeps physical and mental condition is in a terrible state, and it's power can't be compared to what it once was. The mightiest spell of the Doomsheep is the Legendary Sheep Fall, which let's screaming sheeps fall from the sky and explode when they touch the enemies, but it probably isn't able to cast this powerful spell anymore. While the Sheepmen are usually six limbed, the Doomsheep has the body of a normal sheep with the ability to float.

    I love the fact that you are developing this, funny thing is that it sounds better than half the garbage they shoehorn in and call lore.

    Indeed, some parts of WoW lore are just crap, and I'm trying to make mine not sound like crap. It's for you to judge if I succeeded :D

    It's interesting to think they were basically the first living things on azeroth... Proving that the curse of flesh may not have been the true origin of life... But the way the resisted the Old Gods' power like that is interesting. Well put together -- both the drawings and the lore.

    Well, they were the first living things on azeroth together with the trolls and the tauren. In original warcraft lore, the tauren and trolls were the only races living on azeroth when the titans arrived, aside from the Old Gods and their minions. I never really got how they could live their with the Old Gods elemantel minions rampaging everywhere, but they did. With the Sheepmen I suggest that those races where fighting a hopeless battle against the Old Gods until the titans arrived. The backround story of that observer guy in Ulduar states that the titans think in cold logic, and from this the idea of the Sheepmen fighting against them came. The Doomsheep was a hero in a Warcraft III Frozen Throne mod, and it had some ultimate special attacks and no normal attacks, but it was totally weak and could usually be killed with a few hits ^_^. It really had the unique special attack "The Legendary Sheep Fall", and that attack was devastating I tell you!
    P.S: Please don't call them drawings! People will think I actually drew them myself!

    Well in the new World of Warcraft Lore anyway Ilili. Originally there were Humans and Orcs, the humans were even Catholic, and the Orcs from "The deepest pits of hell!".

    I suppose I liked it better back then, it was easier to see the good and evil, and there wasn't much conflicting information (until the books started coming out).

    Also, MAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

    I really like the increased lore and the internal conflicts. It makes discussions like this all the more interesting. Besides how boring is that (to me anyway), humans are catholics (good?) and Orcs are evil. I understand if you liked it and was your first glimpse into this story but seriously it had to expand, not very creative if the writers didn't. Besides, the lore attracts the RP players and Blizzard is planning to make more expansions, they have to give us something new or else quit making the games and lose a lot of money. They're a company but I do believe they are trying to make money and satisfy their general consumer base. Can't help but respond to you Baron when it comes to lore. We're all entitled to our opinions but you just give me something to work my opinion out with. I like lore, doesn't bug me if things change a bit with time as long as the changes are interesting. :P

    It's a moot point really, I can understand adding things, but changing things all together, simple things even like how Sylvanas became a banshee. I like my narratives definitive is all, that's how I viewed the games really, like a book or a story we could play a part in; for better or worse. I like lore too, and I like having discussions with you Ironbark since we're on opposite ends of the spectrum.

    I did enjoy Role playing from time to time. I even had stories written for a lot of my characters, *sigh*.

    I guess the point I was trying to make is that with games you sometimes might have to change things to suit game-play unlike a book that is set in stone, there are just a lot more elements going on around the lore. I'm sure we'll debate this topic more. It's always fun seeing both sides. :P

    Aye, where as with the original games they could be told as a linear story, I suppose with an Mass Multi Player Online Role Playing Game you don't always have such luxury.

    Maaaaaaah

    The "God vs. Evil" thing is booooooooring in my opinion. The titans were always viewed as good, but the Doomsheep fought with them, but they are not supposed to be evil. It's all about the circumstances, the principles of the characters and the circumstances and principles of the enemie. Simply saying "I fight for good! Those guys are evil!" won't do anymore in WoW. Also the Doomsheep wouldn't say something like that. The Doomsheep opposed the titans because it didn't like their way of thinking, but that doesn't mean that this way of thinking is bad. It was just the Doomsheeps opinion. To take another example, the dwarfs of Ironforge scream "For Khaz Modan", which means they don't fight for good, not for justice, but for their homeland and king. The Doomsheep didn't make those decisions it made for good or evil, but for his people, and that's the way the Doomsheep thinks.

    I called them drawings because I typically review and comment on people's work that is... You guessed it, drawings. Anyway, I can't possibly see where the worgen and sheepmen cross paths in history. =Þ

    Yes, but the Doomsheep has to pick a side. It doesn't matter if it's labeled as good or evil, no one can stay neutral forever. The Doomsheep must choose. From your story, it seems that the Doomsheep has chosen to help the Horde, but there is always time to switch sides.

    The Doomsheep got help from the horde through coincidence, and it got shelter from the Horde. The Doomsheeps mind is, as stated above, in a terrible state, and has more troubles than thinking about the Alliance as a possible ally. The Doomsheep wants to help its people, and the horde only helps them if they fight for them. Right now the Doomsheeps hears about all the things that happened in its absence, about the Scourge, the Burning Legion and all that. Its head is filled with all those news and it needs to think everything through accurately, but since the Doomsheeps mind is weakened it will take a lot of time to do so. While the Doomsheep can't aid its people, Garrosh Hellsream sends them into battle against the Alliance, leaving a terrible image of the Sheepmen in the minds of the Alliance races. Its doubtful, as the humans and dwarfs were never the forgiveful type, that the Sheepmen will ever be considered by the Alliance as something else than the savage beasts they seem to be these days.

    Just to say this, nothing is pure good or pure evil. Saying one race is pure evil is silly and saying another does nothing but good is just as bad. (okay so perhaps God's all good and Lucifer's all bad but the buck stops there :P)

    Simple solution for the Sheepmen joining the Horde, think of all the grazing pastures in Mulgore. Well, maybe, the Cataclysm might have ruined that...

    In the titans war against the sheepmen, they didn't only send the dragons, earthen and giants against the Sheepmen, but created beasts only for the purpose to hunt them down. What came to live were giant, fierce wolf-like creatures with long saberteeth and a terrifing howl. Even though the Sheepmen were able to win against them, there were always great casualities among their kin. Thinking that the wolves living on Azeroth and even the worgen are dexcendants of those terrible monsters, the Sheepmen fight with the passion of revenge against the new allies of the Alliance. They also bear a great grudge against dragons and dwarfs, as they fought on the titans side in the ancient wars.

    Ironbark that is a low blow... He's Norwegian if I remember correctly. (that's not the low blow... asking if he was kiwi because he liked sheep was)

    And his avatar is rather cute, and is likely modeled after this smiley. I'm not sure who drew it first but it has anchored itself into the mind of the internet. (you may not be able to see the smiley, click the brown button below this to view the picture, it will NOT take you to a different site)
