Yeah, it was him. Run Uldaman or just look on Wowpedia.

About the Stone-Vrykul, I think that ALL of them were afflicted with the Curse, just like most of the first generation of Earthen were.
It would be the only race to have been entirely affected... maybe.

On the Earthen who destabilized:

"Ironforge - the Awakening of the Dwarves" really says that all earthen destabilized. That, and the fact that it blames the Sundering for their stasis, makes me think it is just a legend.

The Lore Keeper says "Destabilization was not discovered until well into the Earthen's primary service cycle for the Creators. The Creators began work on post-synthesis modification, rather than recall and re-synthesis." So, maybe old earthen were modified to be immune to the CoF?

However, the Tribunal says that new earthen, (implied to be immune to the CoF) were made by the Forge of Wills and "other systems" and that the old earthen were locked away by Loken after a war. The old earthen then all destabilized.

However, there are STILL stone earthen in Uldaman and Uldum.

My personal fanon is that the newer Northrend model of earthen are the new series, while the older model is the older series. Besides the Lunar Festival elders, I don't think any of the old ones talk, so maybe they were damaged or something.

I don't know... it seems like another discrepancy... unless a really clever chunk of lore appears to fill in the blanks.

Wasn't it so that the Dwarves were the first generation of Earthen and that they ALL destabilized? (althought there are maybe some left, the Ulduman ones for example) It is also said that the ones in Ulduar are a new, immune-to-the-curse generation. (Don't know it for sure though) So I think we both think the same, don't you think?

I'm not sure. The Ulduar ones being immune is an assumption based on a line from the Tribunal of Ages.
