"Of course." Khadgar smiles. As much as he enjoys learning there's also joy to be found in sharing that knowledge.
"The Titans have not been seen on Azeroth for millennia, but when they were there they found it infested by beings known as Old Gods. The Old Gods are Void energies made manifest in the physical realm, monstrous twisting masses of flesh and eyes and tentacles that whisper to mortals of the end of all things and drive them to madness. There were four of these beings burrowed into Azeroth's soil and at first the Titans tried to remove them themselves.
"Titans haven't been seen by any mortal, but the records say they are planetary sized beings. Amun'Thul, their leader, reached out of the sky and simply plucked the greatest of the Old Gods from Azeroth's crust and crushed it. He hadn't realized how deeply the Old God had burrowed, however, and it left a gaping wound weeping arcane power behind. Doing the same to the rest of the Old Gods would irrevocably damage the planet.
"Instead they created the Titanforged armies and Keepers to lead them. They were able to walk on Azeroth without harming the planet and fight to reach the remaining Old Gods. Eventually the other three were imprisoned, still buried within Azeroth's crust but unable to burrow further. Deeming Azeroth safe, the Titans left the Keepers to keep watch and returned to the stars to order other planets."
He finishes off his glass of wine, throat dry. He hasn't made such a speech for a long time.
"Much of that tale is new information, learned when we rediscovered Pandaria and its Titan facilities." The Explorer's League was having a heyday with the new yet ancient structures.
