Introduction
The Earthen, ancient beings forged by the Titans, have long remained hidden beneath Azeroth’s surface. With the emergence of The War Within expansion, these resilient allies step into the spotlight, offering players a new perspective on the world’s deep-seated mysteries.
Origins and Culture
Crafted by the Titans to shape and maintain the world, the Earthen have spent millennia in isolation within Khaz Algar. This seclusion has led to the development of a unique culture, distinct from their surface-dwelling dwarven counterparts. Their society emphasizes harmony with the earth and adherence to ancient edicts, though recent events have prompted a reevaluation of these traditions.
Playable Allied Race
In The War Within, players can unlock the Earthen as a playable Allied Race. Starting at level 10 in the capital city of Dornogal, Earthen characters can align with either the Alliance or Horde. Their unique racial abilities and classes offer fresh gameplay experiences, reflecting their titan-forged heritage.
Earthen Racial Traits
| Trait | Description |
|---|---|
| Stoneform | Removes all poison, disease, curse, magic, and bleed effects and reduces all physical damage taken by 10% for 8 seconds. |
| Forged Resilience | Increases resistance to physical damage due to their stone-like bodies. |
| Titanic Knowledge | Provides a bonus to Archaeology skill and faster surveying. |
Conclusion
The introduction of the Earthen as a playable race enriches the tapestry of Azeroth’s diverse inhabitants. Their deep-rooted connection to the Titans and unique cultural identity offer players new narratives and gameplay mechanics to explore in The War Within.
