Can anyone clarify me about Dota 2 lore ???

[DeathStar]

Never play the original Dota before but i have play Warcraft III so i need to know certain things.
1) Is Arthas Omniknight or Abaddon ?

2) If Sylvanas Windrunner is Alleria A.K.A Windranger then who is Drow Ranger ? Cause when i first time see Drow Ranger my mind keep thinking she is slyvanas windrunner due to her appearance.

3) Do some of the hero come from regular enemy like Pudge,Meepo,Earthshaker and other ?

4) Is Jaina Proudmoore Crystal Maiden ? If so why do they change her name to Rylai. And do Lina ever appear in Warcraft III ?

5) Is Thrall Disruptor and Grom Hellscream Axe ?

they are no longer tied to whatever lore they had in WC3, Valve uses new lore for Dota 2, completely unrelated. but just to answer them:
1)both
2)both
3)huh?
4)yes
5)maybe

1: undead arthas is abaddon, paladin arthas is omniknight.
2: drow is undead sylvanas in dota 1.
3: yeah, the dota chars are just in-game models with custom skills, no models were actually made, as far as i know.
4: yes Jaina is crystal maiden, idk about the name. tho Lina is the wizard chick in warcraft 3, you know the one with slows that is created in the same building as those high elf healers.
5: red grom (corrupted by demons) is axe, thrall is disruptor.

Actually, Lina is based off an anime character. Her name, her title, the spells, and all that is based off of a character from an anime called The Slayers. I've never seen it myself but apperantly it's true.
