History
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. The Titans are millennia old gods with one purpose, to explore and shape the universe in their own image by turning chaos into order. They are the beings behind Azeroth, they created the sea, the mountains and the air in which the creatures breathe. They also created all life, the first of which were the noble Dragons. Azeroth is a demon in Syrian mythology Azeroth is a fictional place in the Warcraft Universe; it has been the name given to a kingdom, a continent, and lately an entire world. ...
A generally aloof creator race, the Titans are now a subject of significant interest on Azeroth, at least for the dwarves. Their part in Azeroth’s history lies far, far back in time, although Sargeras has of course taken a more active role in recent conflicts through the Burning Legion. Here, we present statistics for the two known races of titans and for the members of the Pantheon — the leaders of the Titans and some of the universe’s most powerful entities. The figure is humanoid but gigantic, with gleaming metallic skin and a perfection of form that makes the heart ache. This page is about a mythological race. ...

Very little is known about the Titans save for scraps the dwarves have unearthed and some vague night elf folklore. Few scholars actually believe the mighty demigods even existed. Legend holds that the great ones shaped the land when the world was young, then left the world to its own devices. The ruins and buried cities that remain on Azeroth — Uldum beneath the Tanaris Desert, Ulduar beneath the Storm Peaks of Northrend, and Uldaman beneath the dwarven home of Khaz Modan — are known to a few to actually be “titanic” ruins. Most mortals believe that they are only ancient ruins. There are two presumed types of Titan, the stronger, smarter, more agile Aesir, and the tougher but less powerful Vanir. One scholar has postulated that there are other subspecies of titans. No Titans have ever been spotted, and it is believed that they live among the stars where they continue to this day shaping new worlds. Tanaris is a sandy desert found in World of Warcraft on the continent of Kalimdor. ...

The Aesir are platinum-skinned giants that once crafted the oceans and skies. Their sphere of power is storm, frost and water. They are highly reclusive, shying away from all mortal creatures, not wanting to disrupt the delicate balance of their evolution. Their direct children are the mountain and sea giants, whom they created to help them tend to the high peaks and oceans of the world. The Vanir are bronze-skinned giants who crafted the mountains and deep places of the world. Their children are the dwarves and cursed troggs who helped them carve out the earth. Like the Aesir, they tend to stay away from mortal creatures. Each Titan cultivates specific interests that relate to particular elements or energy types — essentially, to some small aspect of creation over which the titan holds a measure of dominance. Effects of these interests appear primarily in bonuses to related Craft and Knowledge skills, but an individual titan’s special abilities can also reflect its specific interest. Some Titans refer to the piece of creation upon which they focus as their “sphere of power.” Titans generally believe they are invincible. They wade into the thickest of battles using their most powerful abilities, or even just swinging with massive, alloyed fists. Titans with well-defined spheres of power have wildly varying combat tactics, focusing primarily upon the strengths of their spheres. Despite their belief that they are invincible one Titan was in fact defeated in the battle against C'thun.
The Titans These are the known Titans who travel the cosmos.
Aggramar the AvengerItalic text Male Vanir Titan. Bronze-skinned wrapped in a golden toga. A former lieutenant of Sargeras but is now charged as member of the Pantheon, taking the position left vacant by Sargeras after his departure. Aggramar's task is to combat the Burning Legion and its demonic taint. Although he is mostly emotionless, he feels a strong rage and hate toward Sargeras for betraying the Pantheon. Aggramar's weapon is the half-broken sword Taeshalach. When Sargeras was a member of the Pantheon, long before he created the Burning Legion, his semi-sentient sword was known as Gorshalach (Dark Render) -- the most powerful weapon in the universe. But when Sargeras fell to the corruption of the Nathrezim in the Twisting Nether, Gorshalach sundered itself and split into two halves, rather than serving Sargeras in his pursuit of evil. Aggramar the Avenger now holds the half named Taeshalach (Flame Rend), while Sargeras holds the half named Gorribal (Dark Seether). Aggrammar knows that if one day he united both halves, Gorshalach would be reborn. To achieve this goal, he continues his fight to defeat Sargeras. - In the Warcraft "War of the Ancients" trilogy Sargeras was holding a half-broken sword which he used to kill Broxigar.
Aggramar's main role in the Pantheon is to be their Champion -- to eliminate the forces of destruction and dissolution in the universe -- specially the Burning Legion and other enemies, and protecting order created by the Titans from chaos by using his combat might. Azeroth doesn't know about Aggramar, but other worlds seeded by the Titans revere him and cry his name when engaging in combat against the Burning Legion.
Aman'Thul the Highfather Male Aesir Titan. He is the leader of the Pantheon and brother to Sargeras. Consort to Eonar the Lifebinder. His metallic skin is platinum and eyes glow yellow. His hand holds a large staff with a Lightning symbol atop and electricity flows around the staff. He has long Hair and beard reaching his waist. Aman'Thul rules the Pantheon -- the Titan High council. He is the oldest and wisest of the Titan race. He and his brother Sargeras set to create countless worlds across the Twisting Nether and created vast races. Aman'Thul blessed Nozdormu the Dragon Aspect with power over Time to be watchful of Azeroth's myriad of time paths and destiny -- protecting the integrity of its timelines.
Eonar the Lifebinder Female Vanir Titan, bronze-skinned. She carries an alabaster staff and flowers blossom at her feet. She is the representation of life, nature and healing in the universe. Consort of Aman'Thul the Highfather. - 64,001 years before the Dark Portal / First War, Eonar gave a portion of her spirit to Alexstrasza before departing Azeroth to become a potent life-giving force in the world. Ten thousand years ago, when the Burning Legion first invaded Azeroth, Eonar combated the demons by infusing the Dragon Aspects with some of her power to battle the demons. Eonar abhors Undead, as she represents the embodiment of life. Among her casting are mass heal and big bad voodoo, flame strike, lightning monsoon, blade barrier, earthquake and wall of stone among other similar spells. She prefers to keep distance from battle, and is more of a supportive role to her allies in the Pantheon. When enraged and forced to battle though, she is fearsome. She will do anything to confuse and spread her enemies, before engaging in combat.
Golganneth the Thunderer Son of Aman'Thul and Eonar, the giant Male Aesir Titan is platinum-skinned and his weapon is a massive horn he holds on his hand. Lightning flows constantly off his eyes. Golganneth created the skies and seas of Azeroth and all the living creatures of the sea 147,000 years ago. Father creator of the Sea Giants with the role to help the Earthen. The Earthen reshaped mountains and dig the depths of the earth-- creating a massive continent known as Ancient Kalimdor(pre-sundering)., while the sea giants took care and maintained the depths of the seas. Golganneth takes joy in his creations and supports the Pantheon's mission to bring order to chaos. Yet, within, he loves the fury of nature. He engages combat by blowing his massive Viking-like horn weapon known as Shargahn. The horn can cast shatter mountains, but he prefers not to use it often as his duty is to create, not to destroy. Golganneth is the embodiment of thunderstorms and lightning, storms and winds. The Sea Giants celebrate in ceremonies their venerated Golganneth many times during a year by feeding small fishes and crafting and sounding musical horns in his honor.
Khaz'goroth the Shaper Male Vanir Titan, shaper of Mountains and canyons, a craftsman. Eonar and Khaz'Goroth created the Earthen (Dwarves and Troggs) and Mountain Giants. His Bronze-skinned body sparks flames. His weapon is a giant smith-hammer. Among Khaz'Goroth's combat strategies are the summoning of Elemental swarms, Wish(teleport) and dispel magic. imprisonment, crushing fist, and Avatar before engaging melee. He is wise in building architecture and engineering. He created and shaped the mountains with help of his creation, the Earthen.
Norgannon the Dreamweaver Male Aesir Titan. His platinum-skinned body flashes Arcane power, he wears a long cloak covering his head and a tunic. Long beard. In combat, he gazes in Eonar, Aggramar and Aman'Thul. He avoids melee, and prefers to cast from a ranged distance flying above and afar. If in jeopardy, he casts mirror image as an illusion and casts AOE (area of effect) while the other Titans take care of melee. He can teleport his fellow Titans to safety if needed. Norgannon is master of the arcane magic, knowledge, secrets and mysteries. In many of the worlds created by the Titans, spellcasters revere him as paragon of their spellcrafts, and whisper his name when casting a spell. Azeroth doesn't know anything about him, except for his Watchers of Uldaman, Ulduar and Uldum. You can read more about the Lorekeeper of Norgannon, watcher of Uldaman Here. The titans prefer not to use arcane magic because of its corrupting nature. Aman'Thul the Highfather charged Norgannon with the task of cataloguing all spells and magical currents in the universe, including Arcane magic which originates in the Twisting Nether. With the knowledge gathered concerning Arcane magic, the Highfather hopes one day to defeat the Burning Legion and other enemies. Norgannon is passionless, his face is expressionless and rigid. He is the historian of the Titans and holds a massive disc on his hand, with sculpted glyphs and recordings, similar to the Discs of Uldaman.
Sargeras the Destroyer - Main article: Sargeras
Sargeras, the Bronze Titan and champion of the Pantheon, was an honorable warrior of his kind. After the occurrence of the Big Bang, the Titans commenced work upon numerous planets, preparing them for habitation. However, wretched demonic beings from another dimension, the Twisting Nether, appeared and started to undo their works. To prevent such travesties, the Titan high council Pantheon elected its greatest warrior, Sargeras, to deal with the demonic peril. Sargeras fought the demons for centuries. Eventually, though defeating the demonic vampire like creatures known as the Nathrezim, their power of creating discord and hatred in one's very soul overwhelmed Sargeras. He left the Noble Pantheon and created a force that would go against everything they worked for, he created the greatest force of evil known as The Burning Legion. Sargeras is a fictional character in the Warcraft universe â a fictional universe in which a series of games and books are set. ...
It is assumed that the Titans, although seemingly unstoppable, might not be as powerful as the Old Gods of Azeroth, which the Titans have defeated and trapped in an eternal prison some 140 thousand years before the First War. As mentioned in the third book of the Warcraft: War of the Ancients trilogy:"It took the combined might of all the Titans just to bind them (the three old gods)." Had there actually been a one on one fight, the Titans would probably face defeat. Also the book made mention of the horrific power of the Old Gods by saying that even Sargeras himself would beg for the peace of death if the three were released.
