With the Season 7 finale of
Game of Thrones
today, we thought it would be fun to review some of the popular items and NPCs in Warcraft that were inspired by this series.
Spoilers from Season 7 are marked under tags, but there are general spoilers in the post if you are unfamiliar with the books and show.
House Baratheon
Ours is the Fury
Arcimaga Melis
is a fire mage in the Mage Class Hall in Legion, a tribute to
Melisandre the fire priestess
. Her dialogue option is a variation of Melisande's famous saying - "Night is dark and full of demons."
Nostra è la Furia
: The motto of
House Baratheon
.
: This is one of the
major castles
of House Baratheon.
House Greyjoy
We Do Not Sow
Ascia Pagata col Ferro
and
Il prezzo del ferro
reference the Greyjoy philosophy that one should pay the "
iron price
" and loot riches by killing foes, instead of acquiring riches through spending gold.
House Lannister
Hear me roar!
For defeating
Re dei Lich
, players receive the title. This is a reference to
Jaime slaying the Mad King Aerys
.
Tyrion
:
The imp
is now a gnome in Stormwind City.
Cersei Cantavespro
is an annoyed blood elf in Swamp of Sorrows, carrying on a secret relationship with Squire Rowe, noted in
Moneta di Rame dello Scudiero Rowe
.
Corona Vuota
: The flavor text, "It's hard to put a leash on a dog once you've put a crown on its head," was spoken by Tyrion in
Season 2, Episode 7
.
House Stark
Winter is Coming
Metalupo Fumoso
, a drop from
Garrison Invasion Bosses
, has the flavor text "Believed to reside mostly in the north. Hates weddings." This references the
sad events of Season 3
.
Nairn
: Actor Kristian Nairn, best known as
Hodor
, has a battle pet in the
Torneo dei Celestiali
with abilities that reference his character's Northern heritage and fight against undead:
Nairn!
,
Richiamo dell'Inverno
, and
Sangue del Gigante
. Also on the battle pet team is his real-life friend Jake
Stormoen
and
Estate
, named after
Bran Stark's direwolf
.
In Warlords, you can recruit
Kristian Nairn / Henry Wall
to your Alliance Garrison via the
Inn Building
!
Lady
, a puppy in Arathi Basin, is named after
Sansa Stark's direwolf
.
The
Riddoh
and
Fran
Brawler's Guild fight
references the friendship between Hodor and Bran.
Riddoh
is a giant ogre carrying
Fran
on his back, just like
in the show
.
House Targaryen
Fire and Blood
Danaeris Stellambrata / Pele'zol
: References
Daenerys Targaryen
--the follower has a Fire Mage spec as a tribute to Daenerys' dragons, is a Night Elf with white hair to match her appearance, and is dressed in a regal robe.
Spezzatore di catene
: This is named after one of Daenerys' many titles.
In the quest area for
Il trono di spine
, players will find the rare spawn
Sporeon il "Re" Folle
. This NPC likely references
Aerys Targaryen
, the Mad King murdered by Jaime Lannister.
Do-tharak, la Spezzalame
: This drop from
Regno del Tuono
references the
Dothraki
, a nomadic race of warriors currently led by Daenerys Targaryen.
Drogar
: This trainer battle pet, part of the
Okrut Sfiancadraghi
team, references Daenerys' dragon
Drogon
.
Uovo di Drago Calcificato
: References the three eggs given to Daenerys as a wedding gift in the episode
"Winter is Coming"
.
Amelia Clarke
: This PvP gear vendor references Emilia Clarke, the actress who plays Daenerys. She is even classified as a Dragonkin in the data, instead of an NPC.
Braavos
Guanti della Tutela di Syrio
: A nod to Arya's dancing master,
Syrio Forel
. The gloves are itemized for agility, as fits his nimble fighting style, and the flavor text references his famous line, "What do we say to death?"
Moneta dalle Mille Facce
is a special toy from Hallow's End which transforms the player's appearance into one of hundreds of Garrison Followers. This is a reference to the
Many-Faced God
, the god of Death, which is worshipped by the Faceless Men.
Beyond the Wall
The mission
L'estate si avvicina
is the opposite of the motto "Winter is Coming." It rewards the item
Manuale: Compagnia Selvaggia
, a term the
Seven Kingdoms uses to describe the Free Folk
.
Several Death Knight talents represent the real threat to Westeros:
Ombra Bianca
and
L'Inverno Sta Arrivando
.
In
Pandaria
, a massive wall separates the Pandaren lands from the threats of the Mantid and Sha. The
Shandaren
plays a similar role to
The Night's Watch
, protecting the lands from ancient monsters. Some of the lines spoken by the Shado-Pan even reference the
Oath of the Night's Watch
: "We are the sword in the shadows" and "We are the watchers on the wall.
This final observation, while not necessarily inspired by Warcraft, has some visual parallels. As it's from the recent season, it's under a spoiler tag:
In last week's episode of
Game of Thrones
, "
Beyond the Wall
," The Night King killed Viserion with a well-placed spear, later resurrecting the dragon as an Ice Dragon.
Many WoW players found parallels to the Lich King raising
Sindragosa
in the Wrath of the Lich King trailer:
General
Several items and quests are direct references to the name of books:
Le cronache del gelo e del fuoco
,
Canzone d'aria e d'acqua
,
La danza dei draghi
Re Bippy Bop
: This podling may be small in stature, but his title reflects that of the
Lord of the Seven Kingdoms
.
L'Orso e la Fanciulla
: "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" is the name of a popular bawdy song frequently referenced in Westeros (
lyrics here
). It's also the name of the Season 3 Episode 7 show featuring Brienne fighting a bear in a pit (similar to a
Brawler's Guild quest
) wearing an ill-fitting pink dress (
Camicia Favolosa
).
Vesti dell'Isola Serena
:
Mysterious location
in
A Feast of Crows
which several characters visit.
