Talk:Explorers' League

Faction
Note, specific lore related to Northrend expedition would be fine in this article.Baggins (talk) 18:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The Explorers' League is the Explorers' Guild and vice versa. Rolandius [[Image:Paladin.gif|25px]] ( talk -  contr ) 13:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * While the terms Explorer's Guild and Explorer's League are used for the same organization lore wise. This page is specifically for the Northrend reputation faction. Doing reputation with other guild members in other parts of the world do not give Explorer's League rep. Think of this page as something along the lines of other rep pages.Baggins (talk) 03:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Lore on one, faction on this one. Rolandius [[Image:Paladin.gif|25px]] ( talk -  contr ) 03:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * We often split lore and faction pages as you might have noticed, it makes it easier for people to get to the gameplay information, if they are looking for it. Some faction pages need to be expanded still though, the various race faction pages for example.Baggins (talk) 03:46, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I noticed those. They are pretty empty. But then you have to sort of make it distinct from any other article or it will look like an exact copy. Rolandius [[Image:Paladin.gif|25px]] ( talk -  contr ) 03:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Info box
If someone could add an info box on this page, would be great. Thanks Wowman12 22:49, April 6 2010 (UTC)

League of Explorers
So I was wondering, is this organization the same as the League of Explorers - in the new Hearthstone game? They are both lead by Brann Bronzebeard, and share many similarities.


 * Probably? Im wondering though if it could be like... the LoE is based on the Explorers League but is exclusive to the HS "continuity", similarly as they portrayed the Tournament? --Mordecay (talk) 11:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It's explicitly the same organization, as per one of the interviews at BlizzCon. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 18:04, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Merge
I really don't see the point in keeping the Explorers' League and Explorers' Guild articles separate. The vast majority of mentions of the organization in-game refer to it as the "Explorers' League", not the "Explorers' Guild". For one, the Cenarion Circle page has both lore and gameplay info listed, and this article is fairly short to begin with, so I don't really think it'd be an issue to include information about reputation gains and rewards on the lore page. If the pages have to remain separate, I would at least prefer if this page was moved to Explorers' League (faction) and having the lore info be at Explorers' League. -- 11:49, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * It seems it would be best to just merge Explorers' Guild into Explorers' League and just have Explorers' Guild be a redirect. 11:58, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

This article is for the in-game faction and should keep the name. -- 13:22, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * But we don't have separate lore and reputation articles for (just as an example) the Earthen Ring. As I said, most sources refer to the organization as Explorers' League, not Guild, and it's not like this article is particularly large anyway, so why not merge the League and Guild articles (keeping Explorers' Guild as a redirect)? -- 14:34, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * If that's the case, then sure, they should be merged. I'll work on that. -- 08:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Tabard
Is it their tabard that the Expedition people at Ulduar are wearing? Expedition Commander, Expedition Engineer and so on. Xporc (talk) 16:44, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Probably. Can't find its name, tho. --Mordecay (talk) 17:06, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * It seems the item doesn't exist for players. Xporc (talk) 17:28, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * There is definitely no Explorer's League tabard item, though it does appear that that's the NPC tabard. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 18:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Leader
In the book "The Shattering", chapter 12, Munnin Magellas is the leader of the explorer's league. In the infobox of the page, the "main leader" is Brann Bronzebeard, and the source is not accessible. It seems like an error, and the two leaders should be inverted.

Edit : I've seen the update of the link. However, the book is more recent than the link, and it seems strange to believe than an archive is more canonical than an official book, because the archive is deleted of the site, and the book is not retcon. In addition, the archived page is the page of the faction, and the faction is more the league's expedition in Northrend than the totality of the League. The proof is that a lot of NPC of the league out of Northrend doesn't are tagged in the faction.


 * @Mordecay, can you confirm what the Shattering says? Xporc (talk) 11:55, 2 August 2018 (UTC)


 * The Shattering, chapter 12: "Anduin recognized him as High Explorer Muninn Magellas, the head of the Explorers’ League." --Mordecay (talk) 11:59, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
