Despite having calculated every possible outcome for the fight and claiming that the mortals would lose, Algalon was defeated after a heated battle. While Brann Bronzebeard attempted to jam the Observer's signal, his allies engaged Algalon to prevent him from sending the signal that would commence the purge. The constellar warned the expedition members that, should his analysis reveal systemic corruption within the planet, he would be forced to activate the re-origination process, stating that it would be in the universe's best interest. There, they witnessed the arrival of Algalon, who immediately began his planetary analysis of Azeroth. In response, the Observer returned to Azeroth to analyze the planet's corruption levels.Īfter defeating the Old God Yogg-Saron, adventurers led by Brann Bronzebeard, pushed farther into the facility, reached the Celestial Planetarium.

Eventually, having overcome his perceived enemies, Loken used the facility's machinery to anoint himself Prime Designate, stealing the title from Keeper Odyn.
Īlgalon would be called to Azeroth's surface if one of two scenarios occurred: Algalon was contacted directly using the titan machinery in Ulduar or elsewhere and summoned, or the Prime Designate - the Pantheon's appointed champion in charge of the protection of the planet, as well as maintaining Yogg-Saron's prison and the Forge of Wills - was slain.ĭriven nearly insane by the Pantheon's silence as well as by the whispers of Yogg-Saron and his unintentional killing of his lover, Sif, the titan-forged Keeper Loken began overthrowing his fellow keepers in Ulduar. Though the planet would be devastated and rendered lifeless, the world-soul would be preserved. Omega would activate the Forge of Origination, purging Azeroth of all life and any corruption present. Depending on the result of the analysis, Algalon would either transmit reply-code Alpha (if systemic corruption is not present) or Omega (if it is). Should corruption begin to spread through the planet, Algalon would be summoned to run an analysis of the planet's condition. Before leaving, the Pantheon appointed the constellar Algalon the Observer to serve as the world's celestial guardian and watcher.Īman'Thul was aware that one day the Old Gods would cause a catastrophe with the potential to wipe out all life on Azeroth, and thus put in place measures to prevent it.

Its primary function is to monitor Azeroth for any signs of corruption and, in the event of the death of the appointed Prime Designate, proceed to conduct an analysis of the planet for the presence of systemic corruption in which he would re-originate the planet, bringing about the end of all life on Azeroth. Algalon could be found in the ancient titan complex of Ulduar, in the far north of the continent of Northrend. Had they all held within them your tenacity?
