Name Origins
The Eredar server is named after the Eredar: a race of supremely talented magic-wielders who arose on the planet Argus countless millennia ago.
Exceptionally skilled in magic, their mastery of the arcane arts were renowned throughout the scattered worlds of the Great Dark Beyond.
Led by a triumvirate of wise and powerful leaders — Kil'jaeden, Archimonde and Velen — they built a vast civilization of wondrous cities and a peaceful way of life on their home world.
However, 25,000 years ago, the Dark Titan Sargeras shattered the tranquility of Argus by offering the Eredar immeasurable knowledge and power.
The Eredar were a knowledge-seeking race, as such Kil'jaeden and Archimonde accepted Sargeras' offer.
The Titan bathed the Eredar in his fel might, and turned them into demonic members of the Burning Legion.
Velen and his followers however managed to flee Argus with the help of the divine Naaru, who would rename them Draenei, or "Exiled Ones".
The Draenei refer to their corrupted brethren as Man'ari (pronounced man-ah-ree), or "unnatural beings".
The word "Eredar" designates both the demonic, Man'ari Eredar as well as the original Eredar race, of which the Draenei are representative, but mostly for the former as it has developed a negative connotation.
The original Eredar are also referred to as the Ancient Eredar.
