Talk:Stone keeper

Old discussion
Where is this information originally from? The closest information that I can find is from the entry about Acheras the Custodian in the Horde Player's Guide.-- 00:18, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

 * The, uh, little tidbit about Archaedas is from Monster Guide. I was talking about the main section. It is not from page 205 of Manual of Monsters, because the content of that book ends on page 204.-- 00:27, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Cleanup
In the RPG book Magic & Mayhem, the Stone Watchers and Stone Keepers were initially presented as titan-made Constructs with the Stone Keepers as casters and the Stone Watchers are melee enemies. The idea here was still Warcraft III creeps meets D&D, even though they were not in Warcraft III. This was the same year WoW came out, so at this point there was a fine line between 'rough drafts for WoW' and 'the setting that is the world of Warcraft'.

In World of Warcraft itself, there was the Ancient Stone Keeper, the Stone Keepers, Archaedas as an Ancient Stone Watcher (and his model as "stonekeeper"), the holographic Lore Keeper of Norgannon and Stone Watcher of Norgannon, and the mountain giant Fozruk (really). It is hard to tell which is which.

Then we get to WotLK, where we get Stone Keeper's Shards and Archavon the Stone Watcher... but also entities like Koralon the Flame Watcher... and in Storm Peaks it becomes clear that there are "watchers" and there are "keepers" with the stone prefix dropped and the terms made seemingly synonymous. In Chronicle, it turns out that "Keeper" is a rank and "watcher" is the race (though that was NOT the rule in Storm Peaks). Besides "scrap it", I am at a loss what to do here.-- 19:08, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
