Biography

World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft This section concerns content related to the original World of Warcraft.

Baelog is friends with Prospector Stormpike of Explorers' League. Under Baelog's lead,[5] the Lost Dwarves took on a contract from the League to clear a path for a group of researchers in Uldaman, but instead they ended up getting hopelessly lost inside the complex[4] just before the troggs awoke and overran the dig site. The brothers became trapped behind enemy lines at Dig Two,[5] where they spent a lot of time killing and dismembering Stonevault troggs.[6] Baelog was convinced of the existence of the secret Chamber of Khaz'mul,[7] and while trapped, he discovered how to unlock the chamber by using the Staff of Prehistoria (created from the Gni'kiv Medallion and the Shaft of Tsol) in Uldaman's Map Chamber.[8]

Olaf made a bet with Baelog that his beard would grow to his knees before they saw another non-trogg. To Baelog's relief, Alliance adventurers sent by Prospector Stormpike found the trio before Baelog was forced to pay up.[5] Since the brothers were stuck at Dig Two, Baelog informed the adventurers about how to open the Chamber of Khaz'mul in their stead and told them to report back to Stormpike.[7] When Horde adventurers entered Uldaman, Baelog and his brothers fought them to keep the secrets of the vault and the Explorers' League from falling into Horde hands.[4]

Baelog at Dragon's Mouth.

The Lost Dwarves made it out of Uldaman to Dragon's Mouth in the Badlands. Rheastrasza enlisted them to help an Alliance adventurer kill the leaders of the black dragonflight that had invaded the region in search of the purified black dragon egg.[1] The adventurer practiced with the dwarves, with Baelog demonstrating his combat skills,[3] after which the brothers helped the adventurer kill Velarok the Annihilator,[9] General Jirakka, Moldarr,[10] and finally Nyxondra[11] before parting ways with them.[12]

Warlords of Draenor

Warlords of Draenor This section concerns content related to Warlords of Draenor.

The Lost Dwarves traveled to Draenor to participate in the war against the Iron Horde, but got imprisoned in the Bloodmaul Slag Mines for several days before escaping.[13] The brothers returned to the Slag Mines several times, since Baelog and Eric believed that there was treasure at the bottom. In the escape from one such trip, Baelog held up the rear with his sword while Eric rushed ahead in search of an exit.[14]

Dragonflight

Dragonflight This section concerns content related to Dragonflight.

The Lost Dwarves returned to Uldaman in search of riches and fame.[15] Although they knew from their last visit how to open the Chamber of Khaz'mul with the Staff of Prehistoria, the presence of the trogg chieftain Bromach in the Map Chamber kept them out and forced them to stay in their old camp at Dig Two,[16] where they spent so much time digging for riches that it muddled their senses and made them unable to tell friend from foe. When adventurers entered Uldaman in search of the Discs of Tyr, the Lost Dwarves therefore attacked them in the belief that they were intruders who wanted to steal their riches. The adventurers defeated the dwarves, causing their heads to clear. In gratitude,[15] the dwarves opened the Chamber of Khaz'mul for the adventurers and helped them enter the Hall of the Keepers.[16] As the adventurers progressed through the vault's defenses, the Lost Dwarves stayed behind to search for treasures in Sentinel Talondras and Emberon's rooms while the adventurers kept going in search of the Discs.[17]

Later, the Lost Dwarves appeared out of a time portal at Eon's Fringe in Thaldraszus. Before a Timewalker could help get them home, the brothers decided to visit Valdrakken. Baelog took a nap in the Emerald Enclave until adventurers poked him awake and convinced him to return to Eon's Fringe.[18]
