Lore

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
The annihilan, commonly known as pit lords, are a powerful species of demon recruited by Kil'jaeden to serve the Burning Legion. Their leader, the most feared of them all, was Mannoroth the Destructor.
These colossal destroyers serve as the Legion's military commanders. They are as cruel as they are powerful - and revel in the destruction of all that exists. They are known to use felhounds to sniff out sources of magic wherever they be found.
The pit lords who serve under Mannoroth the Destructor are some of the most cruel, barbarous butchers to ever roam the trackless wastes of the  Twisting Nether. These hulking engines of hate and death love only to kill and bring sorrow to all living creatures. Fanatically loyal to Mannoroth, the pit lords will stop at nothing to see the will of the Legion upheld. These massive demons take sadistic pleasure from instilling crazed terror, and then slaughtering their enemies.

Trivia

  • The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Magtheridon's Lair Raid Deck" series, for the card Magtheridon.
  • The card art specifically depicts the pit lord  Magtheridon.
    Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
    Magtheridon, the former Lord of Outland, is a pit lord who conquered the ruins of the orcish homeworld following its destruction. His reign was ended by the arrival of  Illidan Stormrage, who took Magtheridon's throne at the Black Temple for himself. Deciding that Magtheridon would have a further part to play, Illidan had Magtheridon's body dragged to the Hellfire Citadel where he imprisoned the pit lord, leaving him at the mercy of the fel orcs. A group of adventurers entered the depths of Hellfire Citadel, released the former Lord of Outland from his bonds, and finally destroyed him, taking his head as proof of their prowess.
  • Two of the named pit lords mentioned in this minion's card text, Magtheridon and  Mannoroth, both appeared in Ashes of Outland with the former becoming a playable minion, while the latter appeared as a boss in the Ashes of Outland Story. Incidentally, Pit Lord makes a cameo in Magtheridon's release trailer.
