Past naming[]
Ebonlocke in the Banquet Hall of Karazhan says: "This party is pointless. Those foolish nobles will never get to see Medivh. Can't they see this? I should have just stayed in Darkshire with my family instead of wasting my time here." Doen't it mean that a spirit of the past knows the town as Darkshire too and thus all speculations are false? --N'Nanz (talk) 10:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- I'm suprised how no-one has noticed that Darkshire features in Orcs and Humans by that name. It's the name of the 10th orc level, and is a town at the centre of the kingdom where knights come to train (WoW gives it proximity to Karazhan, formerly the Brotherhood of the Horse's home). Now it seems that the developers have forgotten about it, and decided to smash Grand Hamlet and Darkshire together, which I reckon is an oversight fuelled by speculation on WoWwiki/WoWpedia about where Grand Hamlet and Sunnyglade are.--Weasel (talk) 01:51, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- If it is our fault, then it really stings, but Blizzard should remember things themselves. Stuff like that should be noted at Warcraft: Orcs & Humans missions.--SWM2448 02:31, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- Couldn't find that list of missions... I can't research it myself, but "Centre of the Human Lands" is an unofficial title derived from the briefing, but I'm not sure where the word "Darkshire" comes from exactly. I believe it's the level's file name or something similar.--Weasel (talk) 02:50, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- I don't have Warcraft I to be 100% sure, and I hope I'm not jumping to conclusions. From what I know, there are no titles or listed objectives for missions, and the human town in the 10th orc level isn't named in the briefing. However, it must be the map's file name, because two seperate websites (Blizzplanet and Video Game Atlas) that have datamined W1 and W2 list the title as Darkshire, making it the first ever reference to the location. In the in-game map of Azeroth the level takes place in a town (shown as a cluster of buildings) west of the Swamps of Sorrow and east of the Dead Mines, and south of all the other human towns. From the description, the objective is either a town, or *perhaps* a tournament ground outside a town. Therefore, Darkshire is either the town or the region - although the name doesn't appear in the game, this town, Darkshire or not, clearly does.--Weasel (talk) 05:27, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
