Forestlord and the first Druids
Last wiki revision 2023-05-31
Forestlord and the First Druids is a part of tauren mythology. It is recorded in-game in a scroll hanging behind Hamuul Runetotem in the Arch Druid's tent on Elder Rise, Thunder Bluff. It is evidence of the druidic heritage that the Tauren race lost and is recently trying to regain.
- According to Micky Neilson and Blizzard historians, the first druid was, in fact, Malfurion Stormrage, not the tauren. Nethaera at one point pointed out that "like all history, it tends to be from the perspective of the writer", and that while the tauren believe they were the first druids, the night elves were the first druids. Thus, Forestlord and the first Druids falls into the category of flavor lore.
- This matter is touched upon and mentioned in Exploring Azeroth: Kalimdor where Zekhan is aware of Cenarion Circle declaring Malfurion as the first druid, while tauren myths claim otherwise.
