Naaru discrepancy.

there's something that strikes me as odd.............
let's do a small review before I ask this question (and this is open to the whole forum but I'm intrested in your opinion addams since u're the "Draenei&naaru" expert on the forums xD)
as far as history goes, the draenei arrived in draenor on the ship "Oshu'gun", when that happened they left the ship to K'ure and they spread to diferent places.........
they lived in peace, untill kil'jaeden tricked the orcs into waging war against the draenei, this of course caused them to live in exile, hiding underground.
a few months before the burning crusade started, the naaru sent another ship to outland, The Tempest Keep, and it's 4 satelite structures wich circle the central one.
when that happened, the crew left the keep and spread to all of outland.
with a'dal, mi'xi, m'ori g'eras and v'eru in sharrath and x'iri in shadowmoon valley and k'iru on quel'danas eventually, they left only 1 and just 1 naaru in the keep, m'uru.
and here is where this strange discrepancy starts.................
when the naaru left the keep, kael's elves stormed the keep, and seized controll of all the satelite structures, enslaved m'uru and sent him to silvermoon, the draenei on their hand, sent that the arrival of tempest keep was the oportunity they had waited all along, they finnaly left their self-imposed exile and stormed one of the satelites of the keep, the one known as the exodar, and used it to travel to azeroth (or they used it to just travel, and ended up in azeroth due to sabotage by some elven infiltrators, it's unclear and irrelevant to my question)
the question then is this: WHERE THE HELL DID THIS GUY CAME FROM?
O'ros
by all evidence, the keep was empty save for m'uru, and when the elves stormed the keep, the draenei quickly did the same thing, taking in a hurry the nearest satellite structure, not even caring to buckle their seat-belts, just jumping to whatever coordenates were punched in.....
so where did that naaru came from? if he was there from the beggining then why every lore source said that m'uru was alone? furthermore, the elves arrived first to the keep, and had it for a long time before the draenei made their move, why didn't they sent o'ros along to silvermoon?
this is "Wheird".
(Yhea, I know I misspelled "weird" but I just saw that "Family guy" episode where the running gag is everyone spelling "whip" and "while" in a funny way, and gets to the extreme when megan spells "weird" with a non-existant H on it :P )

It's possible O'ros was visiting the Keep when it came under attack, and when the Draenei fled to the Exodar to escape, he/she/it followed along, protecting them as best it could from the attacks. It's also possible O'ros was in the Exodar from the beginning, and hadn't spread out to a new location, or was meant to be the Naaru for Netherstorm to help rebuild it. Another possibility was O'ros was sent to the Exodar once the portal opened and the Naaru found where the ship had crashed and the Draenei had settled. Or.. yeah it could be a Lore hole.

yay for me :D I've found a lore-hole :P
blizz can't fool my "all-seeing-eyes" wherever there's a loop-hole in their lore, I'll sniff it out and dig it out for all to see :P
Rank-hound STRIKES AGAIN!

Fanon, at least, has it that O'ros manifested in the Exodar either immediately before the draenei re-took it, immediately after the elves sabotaged it, or somewhere in between. I don't think there's any word on where he (I don't think naaru are gendered, but ehh) was before.

Or, he simply arrived when the Exodar crashed.
N'aaru can travel between Outlands and Azeroth as they please - see the long questline in Icecrown to save the Crusader, with the help of all different kinds of means. A'dal simply appears out of thin air.

makes you wonder then, if they can teleport at will, why would they need ships in the first place?
besides, all naaru ships need a naaru to be powered up, how could the draenei powerup the exodar if no naaru was present?

Probably was already powered up from Mu'ru, after all, the Exodar was a piece of the Tempest Keep. And they need the ships to transport their mortal allies.

If the vessels require a naaru to power up, and M'uru was alone...that leans, in my opinion, towards O'ros manifesting sometime in between when the draenei re-took the Exodar, and when the blood elves sabotaged it.

If Mu'ru was in one section of the keep, why not O'ros? The Naaru could've filled Tempest Keep.
read my post dude /facepalm.
true, the naaru could had filled the keep, but all sources of lore explicitly make heavy emphasys that mu'ru was ALONE when the elves stormed the keep.
plus they held the keep for several days combing it upside down before the draenei made their move, by the time the draenei took the exodar, THERE WERE ALREADY ELVES ON IT who when they saw themselves in numerical disadvantage, rather than fight, they sabotaged the ship, and then jumped out when it crashed in the azure/bloodmyst islands.......
these elves are of the firehawk clan.
the whole point was: if Mu'ru wasn't alone, why did they said he was? how did the elves not found him? (they clearly were surprised that there was another naaru inside as you find out during the trial of matius the cruel on bloodmyst island)

Perhaps during the heated battle to gain control of the Exodar, O'ros somehow found out about it and arrived to intervene?"HAI GUYZ WHAT'S GOING ON IN...oh, shoot, must blood elves get into

Well the naaru tend to come off as all knowing beasts of all knowing, so maybe O'ros just popped up to help power the draenei away from Draenor before their situation got substantially worse.
though that doesn't explain where he came from (O'ros sounds like a guy's name. as opposed to X'iri which sounds female to me.) it does give him a plausable excuse for randomly showing up.
The reason they have a ship even though they can teleport at will seemingly is they need something to carry their Army of Light, I think their teleport is for noncorporeals only. They are beings made of energy afterall.First of all: OH HAI!
Secondly, that seems like as good an explanation as any.
