The endless energy and infinite power brought by the source energy are irresistible even to the Protoss. Ten thousand years ago, in the mountains of Kazmodan stood a Titan Forge as huge as the main peak of the mountain range, called Uldaman.

According to the Church Sacred History, like the Veku, the ancestors who shaped humanity, the Titans shaped the Iron Dwarves and the Mechanical Gnomes from this furnace. After the Titans left, these minions were corrupted by the evil Elder Gods, cursed by flesh, and gradually lost their steel bodies and became mortals. Therefore, only by believing in the teachings of the Holy Light and serving and contributing to the Church throughout their lives can they attain salvation and one day be restored to their God-given bodies.

Even without the obvious evidence, it is not difficult for any person of reasonable mind and knowledge to see how vile and ridiculous these high-sounding lies are.

Many recent archaeological discoveries have proved that Uldaman was actually a giant source ore refining furnace, which did not have any facilities or functions to shape life. In addition, the ruins of tens of thousands of years ago that have been discovered one after another also prove that long before the arrival of the Titans, there were many races of intelligent creatures living in this mountain range. Their name is no longer known, as the Titans wiped out the civilization of these natives when they conquered the region.

In order to accommodate the need to dig Source Mine, the Titans did not slaughter all of the native races, but used order magic to transform the survivors into servants of steel and rock bodies. In this way, they will no longer be tired, hungry and wounded, they will not be afraid of radiation and curses, they will not resist or question, they will only need to recharge regularly and repair when they are broken. But at the same time, they have completely lost the perception and emotion of the original creatures, as well as the ability to reproduce, and have become machines that only know how to work all day long.

For tens of thousands of years, in the silent blood and tears of countless servants and laborers, Uldaman, as one of the three major world melting pots, has continuously exported huge amounts of source energy to supply the Titans to maintain the immortal power to rule this planet.

Until the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, with the attack of the Burning Legion, it was destroyed along with another World Furnace, Uldem, and reduced to shattered ruins in the mountains and underground.

After the battle, with both the Legion and the Titans defeated, the Titan retreated to the north to defend the last World Furnace, Ulduar, and the Burning Legion, whose leader was killed, also left Aixing. Overwhelmed by what to do, these former Titan servants who had lost their masters wandered around the vast mountains.

Over the course of thousands of years, the Titans began to regain their bodies and emotions. These creatures have long forgotten the names of their ancestors and have called themselves Kazmodans after this mountain range.

Relying on the Titan source technology and equipment that were not completely lost in their minds, they successively rebuilt several smaller furnaces in this mountain range, and established several tribes around them.

Ironforge is the earliest and largest of these (and of course an extremely shrunken version of the Titan Furnace), built in the heart of a hollowed-out mountain to the northwest of Danmorro. Later, Dark Furnace City, Grimbato and so on were also established one after another.

At first, the inhabitants of Kazmodan were very cautious about the source mines, using the replica furnaces only to maintain basic production needs, such as heating and forging simple tools, to cope with the year-round cold weather in the area.

Because as slaves of the former Titans, they know that the source energy itself carries huge pollution, and its mining and refining process is not only very dangerous to the producers themselves, but also extremely damaging to the natural environment;

This contamination is often accompanied by radiation, mutations, irreversible curses, genetic and genetic damage, etc., and appears as a dark green corruption. Seeing this, you may associate the so-called evil energy. In fact, the Titans and the Church of Light have been blaming the enemies who are trying to stop them for the pollution generated by the source energy industry. They shirk responsibility for polluting the environment by teaching the Burning Legion the spellcasting system to mortals, slandering evil magic as a cause of disaster, and justifying the prohibition of mortals from wielding the power of resistance.

In fact, whether it is the power of order of the Titans, the arcane elemental magic of the mage, the holy magic of the Holy Light, and the mortal spellcasting system of the Burning Legion, they are essentially the same thing, various applications of source energy. There is no distinction between good and evil, good and evil, and there is no distinction between high and low. As Y.B. once said, "There is no good, no evil, no light, only power." ”

For a long time, the inhabitants of the Kazmodan region have been careful to maintain a balance between production and the environment, and to keep the extraction of source energy to a minimum. Relying on the legacy facilities of the Titans and the abundant natural resources of the homeland, they live a self-sufficient life;

- Until the arrival of humans, everything became different.

As the most industrious race ever recorded on this planet, human life is so short, but it is so greedy to take.

Similar to what happened to the Kazmodans, most of the Viku people, the ancestors of humanity, were wiped out by the Titans' massacres and experiments, and a few were transformed into sentient steel minions. With the defeat of the Titans, the Veku gradually regained their flesh and blood and became modern humans.

However, it is said that due to the incompleteness of the experiment, humans have retained both the will of living beings and the power of the Titan's creation. They have a magical affinity unmatched by other races, and are not as susceptible to magic addiction as elves, turning them into walking dead-like mindbreakers. Many humans only live for more than twenty years to become intermediate or even archmages, which is not enough time for elves to study druid spells to take a nap.

However, human beings' talent for magic comes at the cost of burning their lifespan, and they can only live for a few tens of years without disease or disaster. Ai Xing has never had a high-level intelligent creature as short-lived as a human, only one-third of a normal Kazmodan and one-tenth of an elf. To some extent, it can even be argued that the reason why human beings rarely suffer from demon addiction is because they do not live to the age of seizures.

Probably because of the short life span and the strength of the power, human nations, organizations, and individuals have been producing and plundering incessantly throughout their lives. The resources produced and hoarded were so staggering to the ancient races of the eastern continent that humans could not consume them themselves, so they were used for external expansion;

They conquered all the way from Quel'Thalas to the Valley of Thorns, and sent fleets to the western continent and the north. It's not even the end, humanity without an external enemy starts a civil war, and a continent-wide war breaks out every few decades. As weapons and technology become more advanced, so does the damage they inflict on becoming more irreversible, with the most recent major war completely destroying Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas.

More than 500 years ago, when the sturdy ships and cannons of the human army knocked on the door of Kazmodan, which had been dormant for thousands of years, it was not a unified country, but a union of large and small tribes;

The Lordaeron Expeditionary Fleet captured the Wetlands Harbor north of Danmoro and renamed it Minethil Harbor after their royal family, aiming for Ironforge. The rulers of the Kazmodan tribes were intimidated by the might of the Human Alliance's military force and signed a series of open treaties that ended their isolation.
