Elemental ascendants, or twilight ascendants, are a type of elementals introduced in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

Background[]

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

Originally, Elemental ascendants are Twilight's Hammer cultists that have been twisted into elemental beings via 'ascension'. By the time of the Cataclysm, the Ascendant Council members have long forgotten their existences as mere mortals. From their wicked sanctum, they oversaw the selection of new ascension candidates.[1]

Elemental ascendant, or Twilight ascendant, are the highest echelon of Twilight's Hammer cultists who become one with the elements. The Twilight Cultists hope that they will one day become elemental ascendants.[2] During a dark ritual they are infused with elemental powers, transforming them into monstrosities.[3] The ascension process seems to involve draining something from other elementals[4] or demigods.[5]

Lava Guard Gordoth and his allies had hoped to mimic the creation of elemental ascendants in the Twilight's Hammer cult. Hubris drove the brilliant shaman to act as a living conduit for energies pulled from the Firelands. Instead, the explosive influx of power drove Gordoth insane and mutated his body into a hideous form.[6]

However, it seems that some shaman adventurers have mastered a more co-operative, though temporary, form of ascension.

Legion[]

Legion This section concerns content related to Legion.

During the Burning Legion's third invasion of Azeroth, an ascendant named Alexor joined the Earthen Ring in the Heart of Azeroth. On the request of the Farseer, he beseeched the elements with several shaman of the faction who have spent their lives dedicated to the path of Air, Water, or Fire to be Ascend, making them become powerful, if short-lived, forces to deploy in their war against the Legion.[7] Alexor also mentioned that the ritual of ascension is not to be requested lightly, and that the Ascended cannot be commanded, only unleashed.

Subsequently, some ascendants could be seen in the Hearth of Azeroth, and were sent on missions by the Farseer.

Battle for Azeroth[]
