Archaeology Requests

Blue Posters at the WoW forums have asked for suggestions for things to uncover with the new secondary Archaeology profession. Here were my suggestions.

1. The Quel’dorei Exodus to Eastern Kingdoms
-What was it like when they first got there, and how did they survive?
-The founding of Quel’Thalas and of Silvermoon
-Early Thalassian Society

2. Early Human Civilization
-History of the Arathorian Empire
-Pre-Arathorian Tribes
-How did a group of what were essentially weakling Vrykul exiles get to and carve out a place on an entirely new continent?
-The Troll Wars
-History of the Seven Kingdoms. The ruins of Stromgarde and Alterac are just begging to be dug up. Specifically, what led to their breakup? What was were the differences in culture between them? How did they get along politically?

3. What happened to Turalyon and Alleria?

4. Old Night Elven Civilization
-Life before the War of the Ancients and the Sundering
-Battles of the War of the Ancients. Maybe even something from Rhonin and Krasus’s visit courtesy of Nozdormu?
-The differences in culture between the Highborne and the other elves. -Life just after the Sundering.
-Magical Highborne artifacts, locations.

5. Draenei Journey
-Remnants of life on Argus, or other worlds.
-Arrival on Draenor
-Early relationship with planet, and its denizens, especially orcs.

6. Orcish culture before the Blood of Mannoroth

7. Old Gods
-What was the world like when the Old Gods ran it?
-Battle with the Titans
-Who besides the people we’ve heard about have come into contact with influence or relics of the Old Gods?
-What other peoples in times past besides the Twilight Cult have worshipped the Old Gods? How did they shape things from beneath the Earth in times no one even remembers.
-How did the effects of the Curse of Flesh play out in different populations as years passed?
-What’s the deal with Hakkar the Soulflayer? Is he an Old God or what?

8. Lost Races and civilizations. There must be some.

9. Dragons
-The Dragonblight already looks like its ready to burst with dragon history.
-If dragons are immortal, why do they have a graveyard? Or alternatively, what dragons’ remains are there?
-What is the purpose and historical significance of the dragonshrines?

10. The Order of Tirisfal
-The Order has existed for millenia and been of enormous importance to Azeroth’s resistance to Legion invasions, and in one very notable case, responsible for it. Yet we know very little about any Guardians except for the last two or three. What kinds of things did the Guardians and the Order get up to?
-Was the secrecy of the Order ever compromised?
