Gorehowl is split in every timeline /u/EmperorKonstantine World of Warcraft

Ok I know this sounds crazy and I know most people probably don’t want to hear the timeline lore again but I thought about something that I thought would be cool to speculate about:

First off I want to bring attention to Gorehowl. It’s a really cool blade. It’s really important in the lore for a weapon of a dead warchief that gets passed around a lot. It killed Gronns, draenei, demigods and the same demon lord TWICE. Honestly I’m surprised it wasn’t an artifact weapon in Legion.

As players we can get Gorehowl on multiple occasions. It drops from Prince Malchezaar in Kharazan, drops from Keli’dan in Hellfire citadel, drops from Garrosh in Siege of Orgrimmar and one drops in the Time-Lost Battlefield in the Dawn of the Infinite. All the while the axe STILL appears in lore. Garrosh still has it until the end of MOP where he throws it away then regains it in the raid. It’s in the hands of some random alliance soldier during the attack on the dark portal at the beggining of WOD and then reappears in Highmaul and then once again in the hands of Garrosh during his and Thrall’s mak’gora. Then once again appears when Gul’dan gives it back to Grom. A shadowlands-y version of Gorehowl also drops from Soulrender Dormazain in the Sanctum of Domination.

All this to say: Gorehowl appears A LOT and many of those times is given to players as a drop. These repetitions could just be explained as being oversights or just that it’s cool. And granted, yeah it probably is. But it’s interesting to think about what Gorehowl as done in it’s lore. It was in the hands of someone who created an entirely new timeline. And it was in the hands of many time-line/universe altering people. I also wanted to mention the fact Garrosh was described by a Bronze Dragon as a great hero in almost every other universe but our own. Our universe being a surprising exception. What if this exception and the fact it was used to alter the timeline in WOD caused Gorehowl to be split among many timelines. No matter how many times it’s dropped or destroyed, it comes right back to the hands of it’s rightful owners (Garrosh or Grommash) by just reappearing in someone’s possesion.

What do you think? I know this is probably not true at all but it’s fun to speculate.
