Personal history

Like the other members of the titan Pantheon, Khaz'goroth was born from a world-soul somewhere in the Great Dark Beyond and aided the Pantheon in its ordering of the universe.

During the war between the titans and the Old Gods, the great forger Khaz'goroth oversaw the creation by the Pantheon of enormous servants from the crust of Azeroth itself, the titan-forged. Each titan then imbued a number of them with their powers. Khaz'goroth bestowed his mastery over the earth and forging to Keeper Archaedas.4

After the fall of the Old Gods, the Pantheon set out to order Azeroth. They gave the Keepers great tools to help them shape the world known as the Pillars of Creation, among which was the  Hammer of Khaz'goroth. The titanic watcher Nablya observed and performed experiments within Un'Goro Crater on his behalf.5 Through Archaedas, Khaz'goroth bestowed some of his vast power upon the mighty black wyrm Neltharion, who became one of the five Dragon Aspects. The great-hearted Neltharion, known thereafter as the Earth-Warder, was given dominion over the earth and the deep places of the world. He embodied the strength of the world and served as Alexstrasza's greatest supporter.6

Khaz'goroth was killed by Sargeras alongside the rest of the Pantheon during the battle at Nihilam.7 While their bodies were destroyed, their souls survived and launched themselves throught the Great Dark. The spirits then slammed into the Keepers of Azeroth.8

Sargeras would eventually capture the spirits of the Pantheon and bring them to the planet of Argus to be tortured and corrupted by the Coven of Shivarra into serving the Burning Legion. Aggramar was the first to succumb and be raised as an avatar.9
