The Dead Dwarf Story

[ParceQueFraiSe]

There are a similarities between those 3 screens :

Hour of Twilight :


Razorfen Kraul :


Old Hillsbrad Foothills :


- A dwarf with green uniform
- Died since a long time because a terrible accident
- All screens are taken in "hidden places"

Anybody know something about this ? I'am very intrigued
Maybe you have meeting him in your explorations ?
Who is Him ?

[WizardTrokair]

I am intrigued as well. I have not noticed him in my explorations... but I will keep my eye out. Good spot.

Oo first time i see this guy.
Would be fun if blizzard added a where's waldo game for explorers ;p


Is it new ? Did you visit these places before and there was no dwarf or is it the first time you go there ?


I like it

[wildrunner]

moght it not just be a coincident that your running into the same dead dwarf?
a reuse by blizz of that particular corspe??

[ParceQueFraiSe]

Yesterday I explore the hour of twilight and i see that, it keep my attention because must move with 1st person camera coz fog. remembered have seen him before.

I just verified in the real dragon blight, he is here too. so not just for explorer . can't verify for other because cataclysm changes.
So maybe an ester egg, but about what ?
Or just a coincident. hope is not, like search stranges things in Wow

Yeah it was in thousand needles too before shattering but still nice thread +Rep

This is pretty similar to the Naked human male wearing nothing but underwear. I've noticed him a few times while exploring, latest was outside Deepholme. Can look for some prints if you don't know what I'm talking about.

If you found a naked human male outside of Deepholm, I would most certainly like you to present some screenshots...

Here's part of the history of that Dwarf. At least the Thousand Needles version of him. I can not validate the other two although I'm sure they're using the same/similar models. I hope this helps.

The long dead Dwarven corpse of Henrig Lonebrow remains as part of the landscape. Originally part of an Alliance only quest chain called "Lonebrow's Journal". Henrig's death can be attributed to his attempted escape from Razorfen Kraul after being captured exploring the rumored remains of the Boar God Agamaggan. Whether he died from the fall at the Great Lift or was killed by the Quilboar is unknown.

Here you go Trokair. Took these on my first visit there long ago.

^^ I feel like a failure as an explorer.... many visits to outer Deepholm under my belt, and I have never once seen this human!



*edit: Where in Deepholm? I don't use coordinates, so please just tell me whereabouts on the clock he is located (if Deepholm were a clock). I need to see this guy!

Trust me buddy, you've MORE than made up for with your explorations.

[Nyarly]

The human model is there for scaling purpose, it's completly different

[ParceQueFraiSe]

I'll see if I can find him again, shouldn't be a problem. Ill post a screenie with my location on. Just give me an hour or two.
EDIT: Just entered the place where I thought he was and entered a point where I died instantly. Odd. Got a raid now but I'll check it out a little later.

Look like we got something new and nice going on in here. Let me join the discussion.
The naked human model is, as previously mentioned, used by the designers to get the
models placed in player scale. You would not believe how hard it is to find the correct
scale without a comparison model.

However, I have no idea of the dwarves to be honest. From my point of view it looks like
an inside joke between Blizzard developers. Maybe even a zone development related
thing as the dwarf seems to be "near the ground" lying or completely upside
down. However, as already mentioned, some of the models probably have to do
with a removed quest or so.

I'll keep checking this thread ever so often as needed to find the reason for this weird
dwarf. Hope something eventually pops up. *Doing a research*
