The Old Gods sound like the Lords of Chaos, so who are the Lords of Order?

The Thing at the Glaive, could it be a spawn?

Anyone else have a sudden desire to see how much of this Warcraftian lore meshes with the Lovecraftian Cthulhu mythos?

I think it meshes together quite a bit, and I would definitely love to learn more about it. Even the name Azeroth is similar to Lovecraft's "Azathoth"

I think the original name "Azeroth" is only coincidal in sound with anything from Lovecraft. The name was given way before the Old Gods lore was even made.

(It was originaly the name of the old Stormwind kingdom, than it was extended to the entire southern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms, and later extended to be the name for the entire world - damn, the name made some progress, for a name!)
