Judging by the trail Mannoroth had left, he was heading into the Everbloom.
The Everbloom looked like nothing more than a lush forest, with nothing mysterious about it.
In truth, it was one of Gorgrond's powerful factions.
In its earliest days, Draenor was very different from other planets overrun by elemental creatures.
This world had originally been covered in wildly growing plants.
Plants looked lovely, but plants that knew no restraint were anything but!
They grew wildly, occupying every suitable region on the planet.
Even in unsuitable regions, the plants would find ways to overcome the obstacles.
That was right. Draenor's plants were that outrageous!
Led by savage plant spirits, they became terrifying harbingers of destruction, showing everyone what a green scourge truly meant!

Although the planet had no world-soul and lacked the conditions to give birth to a Titan.
Aggramar still decided to put it in order so that the planet could develop normally.
And so Aggramar created an incomparably massive stone giant.
The Stone Men fought the endlessly expanding plant spirits, maintaining the planet's harmonious development.
Draenor began developing in a better direction.
As the war continued, the original Stone Men gradually degenerated, branching into many different kinds.
