The Nerubian’s wouldn’t have settled Azj-Kahet if they weren’t driven from their homeland. Today, we tell that story: The War of the Spider, where Nerubians, The Lich King and Yogg-Saron fought for dominance over Northrend.

  1. With Ner'zul being opposed to the Lich King it would make sense for Yogg'Saron to aid him in his quest to combat the Legion who would seek the death of the Old Gods and their Void Lord masters.

  2. The nerubians are one of my favourite races. I actually predicted they would appear in the next expansion roughly a month before BlizzCon, citing the grey item from Zaralek and N'Zoth's whispers when we went back in time as proof. I predicted we would go back to Azjol-Nerub as a patch zone, a theory I felt more solidified by the War of the Scaleborn book that was in the Northrend area, and Iridikron's home of Harrowsdeep. I guess I was mainly right, but split in half in a way. Nerubians would be in the next expansion, but not in Northrend. Then it was confirmed we'd be going back to Northrend for The Last Titan. I wanna meet Seer Ixit and his group again!

  3. I thought that was a new skin for Warframe's Khora and I was like, "Wait, War Within doesn't have any Spider themes." Then I saw it was Bellular and was like, "Oh Warcraft."

  4. They don't need to make a bipedal model for a race. They can easily ignore the hooves, chitinous legs, and slithering bellies. They don't have to balance them for now. Just open it up for people to try, and for roleplayers, it might bring old players, and bring more new blood in.

  5. remembering the visuals of Wrath makes me wish for an Nerubian expansion. I know we're getting a zone, but how creepy if we got an expansion where we descended into the spider filled depths and not come back up until the next expansion.But no, we'll get one zone for them, and then a kul tiran zone and whatever else. I'd rather they do one thing and do it well.

  6. Waiting for the forgotten Horde race to finally be relevant again… And playable atlast.
    I'm talking about the taunka, who joined during the WOTLK but were for some reason completely forgotten.

  7. Anub’arak is still one of my favorite Warcraft characters. A tragic hero to his people, he was eventually killed and raised into undeath. Made a powerful lieutenant under the lich king, he was named traitor king by his people as he now fought against them against his will

  8. What I don’t get timeline wise, how can the nerubians in the war within live in their capital city build on their old city, build on and older city, built on.. etc. if they just got there after the war of the spider?

  9. I'm not sure if the nerubians in the war within are going to be the same nerubians that were in northrend. I was under the impression that they'd been there the entire time while the nerubians we know and love fled north before the sundering, because kalimdor was a super massive continent they would not have needed to use tunnels when it would have been faster to travel above ground to flee from the trolls. After the sundering if there were any tunnels they'd likely have been destroyed so its hard to believe they'd still exist for the modern day nerubians to use to head south.

  10. Nerubians are one of the coolest races in the entirety of Warcraft. I love how despite being essentially creations of the old gods they broke away to follow their own path and build their own civilization. That’s just not something you see often!

  11. I love that they aren’t just “creepy spider monsters”. I mean they are that too, but also a civilization of great builders and scholars and ancient kings. The survivors are reasonable and cunning enough to side with us against the scourge and you can hear from the quest NPCs just how traumatic the War of the Spider was for them too, not unlike the humans and the high elves.
