Way back when the server was first started, it was just a collection of Kretol's extended friends, and due to the more personal nature of the interactions a lot of things were more relaxed and less structured than they are now. At the time, things were possible then that aren't now.
I bring this up because one of the oldest pieces of server lore, Kretol supposed partial deification, was brought up in some of our conversations, and after a while it was decided that it would be best for the server lore as a whole if it was removed so the lore could be taken more seriously. Therefore, we are retconning it.
Hopefully we will get around to making changes to the server lore sections itself soon, but the sum of the changes: Kretol was never deified. He never "ascended." He is/was simply one of many shaman, druids, and priests that combined to overturn the Second Plague. He is, however, still chieftain of the Earthshaker Clan, which is essentially his origin. The Second Plague was destroyed by a combined Horde and Alliance effort, which eased tensions (at least partly) between the two warring factions.
