World of Warcraft Arena Guides - The Ethereals Guides
Ethereals were traders that travel through the Twisting Nether. Their home planet, K’aresh, was destroyed by Dimensius who now resides in Manageforge Ultris. They then moved on to Outland where they decided to loot as much treasure as possible to turn a profit. That almost seems kind of like your average play, eh? They’re not enemies, but there is a faction that is hostile to players known as The Ethereum.
They make one appearance in WotLK where you see them trying to deal with the Blue Dragonflight in Dragonblight. Of course, that encounter is soon forgotten about and you don’t hear about them anymore. It’s disappointing to me that such a rich and fun race is forgotten about it so easily. Do you think Cataclysm should bring back some of these awesome races? Come post your thoughts on our forums.
Not to mention how you could run intertwining stories that come to the same end. Say one faction is warring with another, but in the end both sides have to work together to take down something that was manipulating the war. So, while you see the war from different sides, you would still be fighting the same enemy at the end which would allow the story to unfold in a way that both sides are canon (instead of one side having to be the victor).
