How long do warcraft orcs live

I don't think you can compare Tolkien's orcs to orcs from other works of fiction : By the way, where did you get the years for Uruks? The timeline for Isengard's betrayal. Then the Treants and horsemen wipe out any trace of Isengard's corruption. It is also safe to assume that a few are left over during the hobbit war at the end of lotr. This gives a timeline of a few years at best.

No notable Uruk-hai really live longer than a housefly in the whole of the story. Ok, that's for Saruman's armies. What about the lifespan of Uruks from Mordor? With some more work this could be a great answer! I'd remove the extraneous info about orcs from other works which is offtopic and add references for each assertion e.

Also, consider that maybe notoriety doesn't grant lifespan, but the other way around: that long-lived orcs are notorious because they've avoided getting killed! I don't think there is any mention of how old he was at that time.

If orcs were maiar Gondor would have been screwed! Bakuriu: This question and answers give you some a reference to orcs being maiar -- Morgoth's Ring in the section "Myths Transformed". Or wikipedia My understanding is that Orcs as corrupted Elves would be immortal.

As the Third War occurred about 10, years after the War of the Ancients , and thus before the night elves became immortal, Malfurion and Illidan were about 5, years old and Tyrande about 3, years old at the time of the War of the Ancients.

These ages suggest a natural lifespan far longer than those stated in the World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game although the RPG has been mentioned as not canon by several Blizzard sources, [1] so this is not surprising. The War of the Ancients trilogy however suggests the three are the same age, meaning ages, and by extension lifespans, may have been subject to retcon.

It is reasonable to assume the Naga have maintained the long lifespans they had as elves, thus explaining why Naga from the War of the Ancients are still around in the present day. Dragons also pose a curiosity to their alleged immortality.

During the Cataclysm, the Dragon Aspects devoted every ounce of their power to destroying Deathwing in the final encounter near the Maelstrom.

They sacrificed all the powers granted to them by the Titans to destroy the Destroyer, and as a result, became mortal creatures. Magic has been known to grant longer lifespans and even immortality.

As such, it could be noted that the power granted by the Makers gave the Dragon Aspects an immortal life span, whereas other dragons suffer from death of old age albeit VERY old. Dragons naturally die by "answering call of Dragonblight" and venture to the place they were created from proto-dragons, where they die between their ancestors. WoWWiki Explore.

Have questions about roleplaying, or roleplaying issues? Last week we discussed the life span of elves — be they night elves or blood elves, the short answer is that elves life for a very, very long time.

Elves are one of the native races of Azeroth, predated only by a few different races. The life span of an orc is relatively short by Azerothian standards. Though elves can live to be thousands of years old, the orcs are lucky if they even get close to years of age. Orcs reach maturity at about age Middle age is around age 40 or so, old age at 65, venerable age at 80, and they rarely live beyond years of age.

This was smack in the middle of when the orcs were placed in internment camps in Lordaeron after the Second War — reading the novel Lord of the Clans will give you a good idea what those internment camps were like. The Third War, vanilla WoW , The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King would be events your orc has heard about, but not necessarily experienced — and they know nothing of life on Draenor, other than what stories they may have been told during their childhood.
