The Titans

These are the guys who fought the Old Gods like Yogg-Saron in the ancient-ancient times of Azeroth. The beat them, shackled them, and imprisoned the in the underbelly of the world in places like Ulduar and elsewhere, presumably at the bottom of the Maelstrom with Azshara would be my guess, so I can anticipate a future Ocean expansion, yes? But that's beside the point.

Anyway, here we are fast approaching Ulduar raid and a lot of juicy Titan lore, and I'm thinking, "just who the hell are these guys anyway?"

All we know about the titans is that they are a race of metal skinned giants, they are extremely powerful and advanced, travelling through the space and altering worlds to have order and life. In a sense, they are the good version of Galactus, right?

They are led by a group called The Pantheon, a council of the mightiest titans, akin to gods in Warcraft Lore. As far as the Pantheon goes, a few snippets of lore give some information but right now they are nothing more than paragraphs and pictures on a page. One or two might have been mentioned but none of them have yet to be seen.

Within Ulduar we'll possibly get to see the first actual Titans of the game? There have been suggestions that guys like Thorim, Freya, and Hodir are all Titans themselves, though not part of the Pantheon itself, obviously. Since Loken is brother to Thorim, that would make him a titan as well, right? Some have suggested not, that these guys are just creations of the Titans. So, the question is, what is really the truth here?

It is suggested in the Alliance quest "Fate of the Titans" that Thorim, Freya, Mimir, and Hodir are in fact members of the Titan race. The quest talks about the missing "Watchers" which include these guys who were stationed in their respective temples around Storm Peaks. Thorim can be found at his post in Temple of Storms and Loken makes an appearance in Temple of Wisdom. I think that's pretty solid evidence, yes?
