Name all 3 variants of the nerubians

Different types of Nerubian are referred to as castes with a life-long occupation and responsibility in society. Seers, for example, are relatively high-level Nerubians who act as priests and mages. Spider Lords are the rulers of the society in the same mold as the aristocracy of humanoid races.

The spider is the most common motif of the Nerubians, and they have appear to have evolved partially into an arachnid race (eight limbs) from an insectoid race (six limbs). Despite the Nerubian cultural association with spiders (who reproduce through any male and any female), they reproduce as most insects do, through Queens.

Undead Nerubians are usually under control of the Scourge and are known as Crypt Fiends (in the case of most Nerubians) and Crypt Lords (undead Spiderlords). It is not known if Queens can be made undead, or what they are called if they can.

At the ancient continent Kalimdor's center was a mysterious lake of incandescent energies, the Well of Eternity. It was the true heart of the world's magic and natural power. From this magical ether the Silithid were born. As the fallen Old God C'Thun recognized their appearance, he attempted to sunder the world that it once held in its unmerciful grasp. The Old God created avatars from the Silithid in its own image. These avatars were to be known as the Aqir.
The Aqir ruled the lands of the far west. These clever insectoids were greatly expansionistic and incredibly evil.

The Aqir were obsessed with eradicating all non-insect life from the fields of Kalimdor. So the two big Troll empires of Gurubashi and Amani found their common enemy in the third empire - the civilization of Azj'Aqir.

The trolls fought them for many thousands of years, but never succeeded in winning a true victory over the Aqir. Eventually, due to the troll's persistence, Azj'Aqir split in half as its citizens fled to separate colonies in the far northern and souther regions of the continent.

Two Aqir city-states emerged - Azjol-Nerub in the northern wastes, and Ahn'Qiraj in the southern desert.

So the new kingdom of Azjol-Nerub that stretched like a great web beneath the desolate glaciers of the land later known as Northrend.

Thousands of years later when the Lich King extended his influence over Northrend, the shadowy empire stood against his power. The ancient subterranean kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, sent their elite warrior-guard to attack Icecrown and end the Lich King's mad bid for dominance. Much to his frustration, Ner'zhul found that the evil Nerubians were immune not only to the undead plague, but to his telepathic domination as well.

The Nerubian spiderlords commanded vast forces and had an underground network that stretched nearly half the breadth of Northrend. Their hit-and-run tactics on the Lich King's strongholds stymied his efforts to root them out time after time. Ultimately Ner'zhul's war against the Nerubians was won by attrition. With the aid of the sinister Dreadlords and innumerable undead warriors, the Lich King invaded Azjol-Nerub and brought its subterranean temples crashing down upon the spider lords' heads.

Though the Nerubians were immune to his plague, Ner'zhul's growing necromantic powers allowed him to raise the spider-warriors' corpses and bend them to his will. As a testament to their tenacity and fearlessness, Ner'zhul adopted the Nerubians' distinctive architectural style for his own fortresses and structures.

Though there are few pockets of Nerubian warriors left, they still seek to gain vengeance upon Ner’zhul and reclaim their subterranean kingdom. Groups of such can be found all over Northrend and even in the deepest reaches of their own city. A particularly large settlement is the Sundered Monolith.

Those are not Blood Elves- they are High Elves. Same race, different caste.

The high elves, or quel'dorei ("Children of Noble Birth" in both Darnassian and Thalassian), are a race descended from the Highborne night elves who left Kalimdor and settled in the Eastern Kingdoms, founding Quel'Thalas.

The high elves were once a significant force on the continent, but in recent times their numbers have been dramatically reduced, 90% of their race having being slaughtered in the Third War. Following this, another 90% of the survivors changed their name to "blood elves" in remembrance of their fallen brethren, and no longer consider themselves high elven. Only tens of thousands of high elves remain, and those who do cling to the Alliance and are trying to restore the glory of their once great people.

The former defenders from Stormwind pulled stake and abandoned the lonely realms when the cost of upkeep became too great.

They were also "fighting distant wars against the mighty Horde".

I'm not sure if this is a lore question really, but what are the Scarlet Crusade guys in the Cathedral of SM saying in common when you go in there (without corrupted ashbringer)? They're always yelling some crap out loud? Just curious.

Shit about you being corrupted with the plague and they are righteous and such.

The Bloodhoof tribe of the Tauren reside in the grasslands of Mulgore. They are members of the Horde and are led by Cairne Bloodhoof who presides over the Tauren capital of Thunder Bluff. Cairne's son Baine Bloodhoof is the chief of operations in Bloodhoof Village in central Mulgore. The Tauren can be found in all areas of the world, trying to restore the balance of the world which was lost during the occupation of the Burning Legion. The Tauren owe allegiance to Warchief Thrall and the Horde due to their assistance to rid Mulgore of the marauding Centaurs, thus giving the Tauren a place to call home.
