The most dreaded of these experiences is the mindless state , when the chill of undeath finally overcomes the mind, and the Forsaken becomes nothing more than a mindless zombie.
When he is first seen in-game he's at least twenty years old, having been alive several years prior to his parent's disappearance, and he has the stature of an average adult elf even wearing plate armor, which a younger one may not be able to do. This would make adulthood for a half-elf about twenty years of age. She also lost her parents when she was child. However, the Council of Silvermoon members were noted to be far older than Alleria and even then, only some of them had participated in the Troll Wars, [31] and Alleria was described as young.
Their elders typically are no more than twenty years old, [35] and few hozen survive past their 20th birthday. Some naga have even gained immortality as part of their mutations. However, most immortal naga are women rather than men. He becomes chieftain and mates with Draka a year later. Since thirty years have passed since then, their age would be somewhere in the eighties. During the Third War, Cairne was 99 years of age, which would place him at or at death. Both are noted to only have some slight gray in their fur.
Their eternal status allows for resurrection, as seen with Aviana. They are made apparently out of stone, and similar to the Earthen cannot die from old age.
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore. This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon. While technically immortal, some Forsaken exhibit signs of old age, losing their identities and eventually sentience. They appear as dying old humans, feeble and scared, with a cold growing inside them, and forgetting who they are.
They are losing their mind to the Scourge, and would eventually become a "mindless one" - an unintelligent zombie. All forsaken fear this process, as it means they revert to the Scourge's will and lose themselves to the Lich King and his dominance.
The Forsaken will often kill these poor souls, perhaps as a form of mercy. Some are immortal. The founding of Thunder Bluff was pretty much a testament to exactly how much Cairne was beloved by not only the Bloodhoof Tribe, but all tribes — without Cairne, Thunder Bluff would not exist, the tauren would not be in the Horde, and the tauren race might very well have gone extinct. Within the span of just 10 years they have seen tribes united, an entire city founded, new allies gained, the rise of a school of magic long, long lost to time, the betrayal of the Grimtotem, the death of their beloved leader and subsequent coup of the city, and the rise and fall of Garrosh Hellscream.
Obviously the death of Cairne Bloodhoof hit the tauren race particularly hard — here was a leader who was a shining beacon that all tribes followed, with the exception of the Grimtotem and few others. The Grimtotem have been by and large dealt with, but in the wake of the coup, it was blatantly clear that Garrosh Hellscream valued the tauren more for their size and their prowess in battle than their moral standings — in fact, Garrosh likely would have thought the tauren perfect soldiers on the same level as his orcish brethren, had they willingly thrown those morals out the window.
Garrosh Hellscream escaped, he was not brought to justice for the crimes he committed, and one of those crimes including killing Cairne. That makes logical sense to us as players, but as a tauren in Azeroth, that action may not be so easily forgiven — particularly after the way Hellscream acted in Pandaria and later in the Siege of Orgrimmar.
Beyond that, though, is the fascination the tauren race has with all things natural. They were among the first druids, right along with night elves — and Draenor has some of the most curious, interesting, and downright bizarre plant life on any planet.
Although tauren are sometimes portrayed as gentle giants, they possess an incredible amount of inner strength, resolve, and likely more than a little anger at the way the last ten years of history have played out.
