Whispers of the Old Gods
is Hearthstone’s latest expansion, going live today, April 26th. As the expansion is a playful interpretation of Old Gods lore from Warcraft, we thought it would be fun to highlight how the cards are related to WoW.
C'Thun, Yogg-Saron, Y'shaarj, and N'Zoth are new legendary cards and they are accompanied by WoW bosses from
安其拉
, members of the
卡拉克西
, and members of the Twilight Hammer like
古加尔
.

安其拉
.
哈霍兰公主

However, wearing so much resistance gear reduced the amount of DPS players could put out, so defeating this boss was a challenge.

.
refers to the ubiquitous bugs found all around Silithus.
and refer to the challenging AQ encounter in which both bosses needed to be tanked at each end of the room lest they heal, they teleported frequently and dropped aggro, and required a ranged DPS tank.
Yogg-Saron and Ulduar
Yogg-Saron is one of the most memorable boss encounters in Warcraft, featuring
米米尔隆的头部
as a reward from Yogg 0 and dramatic visions in Yogg’s brain of key lore moments for Wrath of the Lich King.
: Yogg was the most challenging Old God for the Titan-Forged to subdue; Ulduar became his prison. Over time, Yogg found a way to bestow the Curse of Flesh on the inhabitants of Azeroth and trap his Titan-forged guardians. Related card: . Learn more about
Yogg's lore and WoW references in our Black Empire article
.
is a reference to the achievement names for killing Yogg on his various hard modes, ranging from
黑暗中的三盏灯(10人)

. Each light in WoW refers to the presence of a freed Titan keeper, who adds a powerful buff to the encounter.

思维诡计
. He pretended to be a victim of the Lich King, mind-controlling the player into freeing him from the saronite prison.
: The Nerubian were a group of aqir that settled in Northrend, mutating into the Nerubians under the influence of Yogg-Saron. You can find them in
艾卓-尼鲁布
and
安卡赫特:古代王国
.
Y’shaarj and Pandaria
Y’shaarj was the only Old God to be killed and his legacy lives on in Mists of Pandaria. He drives Garrosh to corruption in Siege of Orgrimmar and his heart destroys the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
: This card marks the first time we have actually seen Y’Shaarj. Previously we only had hints of this Old God in mural depictions in Klaxxi’Vess and Heart of Fear. Learn more about
Y'shaarj's lore and WoW references in our Black Empire article
.
: Similar to some abilities in Siege of Orgrimmar like
亚煞极之触
and
亚煞极的精华
.
was Garrosh Hellscream’s personal guard and a
boss in Siege of Orgrimmar
. He lived in Blackrock Mountain and previously served
大酋长雷德·黑手
. In
锦绣谷
, Malkorok demanded the goblin excavation team hand over the Heart of Y’Shaarj, which later corrupted the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
卡拉克西
are a faction of Mantid that worshipped Y’shaarj. While you can earn reputation with them, in the quest
帝国的阴影
, you learn that their loyalties lie with the Old Gods. You can get unique amber-dipped weapons like
卡拉西斯维斯琥珀切割匕
and
琥珀巨蝎缰绳
with reputation. At the end of Mists of Pandaria, you end up fighting your former friends in Siege of Orgrimmar. Two Old God cards pay tribute to the Klaxxi: and . The Klaxxi encased their heroes in amber, Paragons, to be awoken in a time of need.
毒心者夏克里尔
is one of the Paragons who enjoys alchemy and potions and gives you the daily quest
黑暗天空
which is tied to
神兵天降
. He also
later appears as a boss in Siege of Orgrimmar
, using toxins as his main form of attack. In Hearthstone, the Xaril card can add random toxin cards to your hand.
has naming similarities to some loot drops from Siege of Orgrimmar:
黑血斗披
and
亚煞极的黑暗之血
.
N’Zoth and Cataclysm
N’Zoth is notable as we haven’t seen him face-to-face in Warcraft. He was first revealed in Hearthstone instead, and was later confirmed to be involved in the Emerald Nightmare, Highborne transformation, and corruption of Deathwing.
: N’Zoth’s card art is the first glimpse of this Old God. He’s trapped in an underwater prison and does not look too happy about that. Speculation during Cataclysm pointed to N’Zoth being imprisoned somewhere in the Abyssal Depths (
帮助拉葛雷克摆脱束缚
). Learn more about
N'Zoth's lore and WoW references in our Black Empire article
.
N’Zoth has a lighter side with and .
: There are trinkets for other Old God tentacles,
克苏恩的触须
and
被征服的尤格-萨隆之爪
. There’s also the generic .
: This is a quest mob in the Abyssal Depths required for
升腾者
.
sounds like a creature which would be found in the Emerald Nightmare, the first raid coming in Legion.
: This phrase is referenced in several quests related to the Old Gods in Cataclysm:
帮助拉葛雷克摆脱束缚
and
地底来客
.
The Faceless ones were first seen in Ulduar, making a reappearance in the Abyssal Depths, Throne of the Tides, Dragon Soul, Grim Batol, and Hour of Twilight: , , , .
Twilight Hammer
The Twilight Hammer is devoted to serving the Old Gods. Originating from Cho’gall’s nihilistic Orc Clan, the Twilight Hammer later aligned themselves with the Old Gods and grew even more powerful in Cataclysm with the return of Deathwing.
The Twilight Hammer can be seen in several areas:
In
黑海岸
, players who complete the Master’s Glaive questline (
黑海岸之战
) defeat the Avatar of and learn about the Twilight Hammer’s plans to revive him.
In
灰谷
, players find the Hammer in
黑暗深渊
which houses a temple to the Old Gods and the loyal servant
吞噬者阿库麦尔
. More information in
深渊的噩梦
.
希利苏斯
in early WoW had an elaborate system of reputation quests and summonable mini-bosses. You could dress up like a Twilight Cultist with
暮光套装
and collect
暮光密文信
.
The Twilight Hammer, drawn to Yogg-Saron, also shows up in
安卡赫特:古代王国
, led by
耶戈达·觅影者
.
The Twilight Hammer is all over Cataclysm leveling zones, with their headquarters in
暮光高地
and
格瑞姆巴托
. Other leveling zones include
海加尔山
,
瓦丝琪尔
,
深岩之洲
, and
奥丹姆
.
The
暮光堡垒
, one of the first Cataclysm raids, is described as: “The Bastion of Twilight stands as a dark symbol of the Old Gods' burgeoning power on Azeroth. Various branches of the Twilight's Hammer dwell deep beneath the towering form--considered the cult's foremost command center--along with their twisted leader, Cho'gall. There, he and his servants conspire to bring the Old Gods' apocalyptic visions to fruition by bleeding Azeroth of all sanity, hope, and life.
The ravings of some of the cult's more vocal members have been easy to dismiss as mere fancy in the past - but not once one has seen the Bastion of Twilight, the embodiment of the Hammer's fascination with new forms and transcending earthly bodies. The entrance to the bastion sits at the peak of the Twilight Citadel, atop a twisted elementium spire that points at the sky. Here, a portal waits to take the greatest Twilight aspirants...where? No one can say for certain.
What is clear is that the Leader of the Twilight's Hammer, Cho'gall, directs his forces from this dread place. And, whatever the location, it is certain to be near to the Old Gods who dwell beneath Azeroth, and give fruit to the darkest dreams of the living.”
The final boss of
暮光堡垒
is who wields the , which is an actual drop -
暮光之锤
.
Ragnaros may have seen the Light in Hearthstone, but in
管理者鹿盔
in
火焰之地
has not. never truly recovered from the loss of his son from the War of the Shifting Sands. Mad with rage and corrupted by the Twilight Hammer, he became a servant of Ragnaros and founded the Druids of the Flame. The questing in the
熔火前线
and encounters in Firelands cover the final chapter of his life.
The Twilight Hammer makes a final organized last stand in
巨龙之魂
led by
战争大师黑角
and
缚风者哈格拉
. resembles
奥卓克希昂
, and includes references to midnight (
末日警钟
).
In Legion, they infiltrate Tyr’s tomb in Tirisfal Glades in the hopes of resurrecting Yogg-Saron’s general Zakajz using the
Shadow Priest Artifact Xal’atath
.
As expected, many members of the Twilight Hammer appear as cards: , , , , , , , , .
Corrupted Cards
Some Hearthstone cards are corrupted versions of their regular versions, like from . Here are the cards with a twist on their usual WoW lore:
: This gnome rolled /need on one too many things!
: The murlocs have found the light! They’ve teamed up with the Silver Hand to summon as your Hero Power.
:
纳特·帕格
had a bad day fishing. You can find Nat all around Azeroth as a
Garrison Follower
,
Anglers Quartermaster
, and
Extreme Angler
.
: Hogger is even more terrifying, as the flavor text suggests: “When C'thun went to sleep, he checked under his bed for Hogger.”
is a revamp of the
石牙野猪
from Elwynn Forest. Another familiar face from Elwynn, the Kobold, is now updated to . His rallying cry is “You no take tentacle!”
now has some rotten bananas. In WoW,
穆克拉
is a gigantic ape who throws barrels. Nearby on Jaguero Isle, you can find
小猩猩
when it rains!
are apparently “normal wisps” and “‘Of the Old Gods’ bit is just marketing.” Wisps are spirits of nature that are friends to the Night Elves. Their bond was clearly seen when the wisps helped the Night Elves defeat
阿克蒙德
in Hyjal Summit.
“took to heart the feedback he was receiving that he needed to be ‘more of a team player.’ To this end, Deathwing puts all Dragons from your hand into the battlefield. In WoW, Deathwing used to be the noble dragon Neltharion until he was corrupted by N’Zoth and turned on the rest of the Dragonflights. Deathwing’s destruction can be found throughout Cataclysm and players can fight him in
巨龙之魂
.
has undergone the biggest change of heart. Ragnaros is a feared Elemental Lord, seen at both the end of Molten Core and Firelands. What do you get when you further corrupt an evil lord? A light-filled Paladin! He even says “Live, Insect!”
Class Abilities
Some Hearthstone cards aren’t elaborate references, they’re just interpretations of class abilities:
Hunter
: from
群兽奔腾
.
Mage
: from
碎冰
.
Paladin
: reminiscent of
Paladin Blessings
.
Priest
: similar to
, part of the
Shadow Word
family of spells, part of the
真言术:盾
family of spells.
Rogue
: from
菊花茶
, from
暗影打击
.
Warlock
: from
.
Other
Pirates make a return with from the Blackwaters in Booty Bay, from the
血帆海盗
, and from the Southsea Pirates in Tanaris and Northern Barrens.
and are similar to some of the corrupted wildlife in
费伍德森林
, as well as the battle pet
染病的熊崽
.
resembles the
胖虫先生
battle pet from Eastern Plaguelands questing. “The grubs of the Plaguelands are a side effect of necromantic corruption and the massive number of corpses there. Mr. Grubbs is from a particularly acrobatic breed.”
Several cards tell a story about Darkshire: , , , , .
