No no, not the band, the giant Titan daughter being. Here’s a quick writeup from some of the beta testers on WOR that managed to score some very nice titan lore (that I have been dying to see anyway) in the Sholazar Basin.

One of the new things in the old world brought by WotLK is a subzone named Shaper’s Terrace in Un’goro Crater that is inaccessible from Un’goro, only through teleportation from elsewhere. This article is about the subzone’s function we found out about yesterday thanks to Jaiom.

When the Titans shaped the world, there was a lot of experimenting and iteration. Their testing areas are thus protected with very powerful defense mechanisms, which in the case of Sholazar Basin is 5 pillars that emit pure lifeforce.

Freya, daughter of the titans left its avatar in the zone and charged it with protecting the area, but one of the pillar was destroyed as it can be seen on the North-East segment of the zonemap, in the form of an avalanche and all the brown areas.

As it turns out the trouble is caused by the Cult of the Damned who are trying to help the Lich King’s invasion plans. From the neighboring Icecrown Glacier that really wouldn’t take a big effort.

So we’re helping the Avatar of Freya get a hold of things. After a few quests she realizes however that solving the problem will take more than a single man, so after a few preparation steps she helps us power up the waygate (the titan name of a teleport / portal) that hasn’t been used in over seven centuries. Taking the waygate we find ourselves in Un’goro facing a colossal weapon called The Etymidian. Sadly it’s not active.

In the closeby building we find the Omega Rune that helps us power up the stonebeing / weapon / peacemaker. Quickly teleport back to Sholazar Basin to the questgiver, who now helps us deploy the weapon. When taken control of it, it makes an incredible destruction everywhere! Destroying 203 mobs in a very short time with this monster is a LOT of fun! Oh and the reward for the questline is a level 78 blue helm, that strongly resembles the quality of the Second Sight hats in Shadowmoon Valley.

Here’s a small gallery showcasing the events detailed above.
