this was burning Crusade and as I
explained I took a bit of a break and
bur a crusade um and I never really was
massively into the lore until actually
this expansion like I got into it with
raal the lichking so all of this i'
never played Warcraft 3 all of this went
over my head but there were rumors going
around on the servers where we were
going to get Ral lichking and something
brand new and exciting a hero Clause I
like what is a hero Claus what the
heck's happening and the Rumor was that

true
[Music]
king man that was so cool that was so
cool so welcome everybody to uh the
lands of
nors where uh I mean it's story set
up there is the war against arus theit
King who is woken up and that story goes
back to warc three with the whole uh
Road of dnation with nul not willingly
working for kill Jaden and Dr Lords and
manipulating arus turning him to the
dark side getting him all the way to ice
Crown where arus and nul merg with each
other and once he put on the helmets
between the time of the Frozen Throne up
to North and arus has just been
reflecting on his life and he's been you
know pondering
like how is thing spin discussions
inside of his head and this is a big
thing I don't actually know if this
actually played out in
game but it's a big subject of the novel
arus rise of the Lich King I generally
don't think they ever put it in the game
not that it matters much but it would be
a nice detail um and as is what we saw
is that he was talking to himself he was
thinking about the road the damnation
his love between Jana the fall FAS and
kilas and and miv and all that
and in his mind he picked up Frost and
he stabbed his younger innocent self
someone called mafas
laner and then nzu was laughing and
cackling and he was like yes together we
will rule the
world and arus was like yoink
and stabbed nul as well and he was like
there's not going to be us nul there's
not going to be you there's not going to
be me there's only going to be arus the
lichking and I am ready and that point
he woke up and someone like Jana could
feel it and someone like Sylvanas could
feel it and soon enough the forces of
Norr would invade the world in like the
pre-event and so the Alli and hord were
called into Norr they were challenged by
the Lich King along the way come Heroes
come face me
because his plan was to get the biggest
bestest fighting force up to the top of
ice Crown res it into his army GG I win
all good let's
go um beyond that we also had the blue
Drager flight story line last time with
Outland we spoke
about Twilight
dragons making way into the Nexus
attacking it and then Melos eating them
up and regain gaining his sanity and
malagos realized that the world was
abusing magic and so he started the
so-called Nexus war and he was like I'm
going to murder all these Mages and I'm
going to pull in all the lay lines lay
lines are like magical veins of power
I'm going to pull those into the Nexus
and no magic for any of you which went
completely against his charge given to
him by the Titans like he was supposed
to safeguard magic but not hoard it
right like it's a gift so and on top of
that if he would have succeeded he would
have destroyed the world
so Delan after rebuilding from the
events of Warcraft 3 where our commander
like destroyed the city they had been
living under a uh purple bubble in
classic um dadan was re was done
rebuilding and he took the city and took
it over into norand where we would find
it uh the kinor led by Ronin uh one of
the few characters that I still need to
make a video on actually one day and
they showed up in Norr for the Nexus War
whereas the alliance and the hords they
would enter through two different areas
we would have the howling F and we would
have Boran
Tundra and that's kind of where I wanted
to
start but then the game was like oh yeah
we're exploring the world right now well
I guess we're going to give you some
experience so that's how I DED my bad so
as far as I
remember and Chad by all means correct
me if I'm wrong uh as far as I remember
you could make a choice between the
howling Fjord and the borean tundra
where you wanted to level and
and this was done in such a way so that
the uh player base would actually split
apart whereas in the past if you would
send them all through the dark portal
into Hellfire Peninsula you might
imagine a whole lot of players without
the whole technology of phasing uh your
servers are going to die a horrible
death uh in this way they would actually
separate the player base and then with
the cataclysm they would do it again
with Mount hayel and
vajir so he would actually have the
choice as to where he wanted to go and
ezone had like their own story lines
that went down um Boran Tundra did get
the nickname boring
Tundra as Alliance it was hard to find
your way to the howling F yes I do
remember my alliance character going to
the Boran Tundra a
lot yeah I think you had a choice yeah
oh uh and now comes the hard part where
I need to remember the story lines that
took place we're going to we're going to
piece it all together together it's
going to be great
and per usual if I'm forgetting
something if you want to call me out on
something by all
means go for it chat so uh howling FS a
big part of the story line that took
place here was smuggling in the
ashbringer
and in the death knight starting area we
would find out that der MRA and the
Death Knight they were sent over by arus
in order to attack ligh Hope
Chapel I just realized my adon's not not
working hey hang on a minute so death
knight starting area arus sending out
the death Knights to attack Lio chapel
and I do believe that we already spoken
about Darion and the ashbringer but in
short darion's father Alexandra's mgrain
was the ashbringer Betrayed by the
eldest then his
youngest saved his father from nas took
the blade to Scarlet Monastery where the
spirit of his father killed to the
eldest and
then Darion showed up at light Hope
Chapel in order to help the defended
against Kel fuad and the undead forces
making the ultimate sacrifice of
stabbing himself the Skies open up with
a holy light but in doing so he now
surrendered himself to the careful
Embrace of Kel fuad and theking by the
time raal theking rolls around we would
see Darion with a corrupted asbring in
hand mind warped turned into a servant
of the Lich King the very thing he
fought against and he was once again
sent out to attack light hope Chapo
light hope Chapo is like Holy Ground
consecrated ground a prime target for a
whole lot of very power people that the
lkin wanted to resurrect uh regardless
of the price that he was going to pay
now Tyrion foring was also a li Hope
Chapel and Tyrion knew Darion from life
so Tyrion held the line against Darion
the Lich King then shows up a little bit
of a memory cut scene plays out and
Darion decides to throw the corrupted
Ash bring at the Tyrion and upon
touching it the light cleanses and
purifies the blade making it a massive
powerful tool to ward off arus to ward
off the Lich King send them back home
and next time time we would face him it
would not be on Holy Ground
Paladin at that point
Tyrion took out the Argent Crusade with
the Knights of the Evan blade and he
declared like we're going to Norr baby
we're going to take the battle to arus
it's going to be great yeah and
everybody was invited Alliance hord the
death Knights got a special note and
it's like listen right listen Tyrion
could write a not to rri cuz they had a
whole history from blood and honor where
Tyrion stepped up to save rri's life and
you know I'm going to kill this orc and
of course the alliance tyan forging was
quite the hero amongst the people and
the death Knights were allowed into the
alliance and the hordes uh upon his call
uh despite some Tomatoes being thrown
when you ride into the city um so here
they decided to bring over the
ashbringer to get a barion uh because
they had to get him into Northend right
like it's all fine and Danny to declare
we're going to fight the lichking in his
home base but good luck fighting the
Lich King in his home base like it's not
going to be easy to just walk into
Mordor you're going to have to be sneaky
about it so they decided to send over
Tyrion all disgu and cloaked and then
send over the ashbringer by like a
carrier except the carrier nearly dies
and it's thanks to us that were're able
to bring the ashbringer back to Tyrion
upon which he's like you know what
enough games enough other people dying
for me enough dying people dying for the
cause I am Tyrion motherucker foring and
I will take the battle to arus and the
Lich King come at me uh so he held out
his weapon no more schemes like that and
so we reunited him and we wouldn't see
him again until ice crown of memory
serves beyond that a secondary story is
that sylvan's windrunner has a massive
hate boner for arus the lichking with
good reason of course arus destroyed
quas killed the ranger General did not
give her the piece of death but instead
brought her back keni forced it to serve
she was then able to liberate herself as
nul's Powers were waning and uh from
that point on she declared vengeance
upon arus she tried once with poison but
they failed cuz Kad intervenes but now
they're going to have a second chance
and for the longest time the Apothecary
amongst the Forsaken had been working on
a plague a plague that not only works on
the undead but also on the living the
perfect weapon to throw at arus the
lking anything and everything it took
they were going to take care of arus
they also recruited the aid of the blood
elves uh Lord from maruron was very kind
or very thankful for the Forsaken for
their aid with bringing in the blood
elves into the hordes but then after the
burning said as the blood Els were still
licking their wounds Sylvanas rolled up
but she was like look it's time to go to
Norr I held up my end of the bargain now
you better help out and lar was like
Sylvanas look around you look at the
people they're hurting she's like I
don't care you go or you lose the aid of
The Forsaken and if you lose the aid of
forsaken I wish you best of luck in
these lands so lar had no choice to
actually help out and we all set still
here and a big part of the quest line
here is that they are perfecting the
plague
uh the plague that was going to be used
upon arus now there is the part at the
Roth Gates which we'll get to in just a
moment my favorite cut scene in this
game um one of my favorite cut scenes I
should say but yeah that plague was
developed and at some point there came a
bit of an argument about did Sylvanas
order the ra gate or not and there was
some dialogue in the Chronicles that
some did not trust Sylvanas that she did
it on purpose and that she wanted to
wipe out everybody and blah blah blah um
um I think originally the story was not
that way I think originally the story
was that she was betrayed from Ain by
the dreadlords trying to summon Saras by
the
apicary um but at the same time she did
develop this plague and then in the
future would use this plague and giln as
well so let's not pretend like Sylvanas
is this innocent Angel that's oh the
living oh I love the living I would
never use the plague against the living
me having little plans oh I would never
no it's sylvan's moducking wi Runner she
will do whatever it takes to get the job
done would she be responsible for the
Ral gate I
mean would she be against it would be my
question like if if what happened at the
Ral gate would have secured the kill
upon arus would she have done it 100% I
think she would have wiped out the
entire eyin and The Horde if it took her
if it took if it was that the price that
she had to pay in order to take care of
arus I think she would have I think that
falls in line of her character but
that's purely
me next that we also get introduced to
the Vu of
Norr and the Vu are the predecessors of
the humans the humans are Vu but you
know FR hit by the curse of Flesh and
over time they evolved into what would
be known as the humans but at some point
the king yimon he was like Hey you know
our Gods
suck any gods that would give us this
curse of Flesh are no true Gods screw
the Titans everything sucks and and I
think at some point they Place
themselves into um hibernation to like
stay off the effect right they did a
similar thing in ulman uh but before
that moment yimon had given the order to
the parents of the Vu kids like deformed
half human half
Vu gross children like you need to kill
them just get rid of
these kill kill these children they're
not true Vu get rid of them but the
parents could not at least not some of
them could not um
and so instead of killing their children
they sent their children to the myth
mythical land of tius fall where tier
had fallen where fru had followed him
and they would eventually rise up form
the arafi Empire and funny enough our
yimon would eventually serve the
lichking and arfus was a human so you
know shows what he knew as well as
humans took uh took care of them like he
wasn't even able to take care of them
which is nice because in the Warrior
order Hall Once Upon a Time while we
still had funny voice lines he would
actually yell at you and curse at you
but I think they've taken out that line
I don't know why it was one of the
better voice lines they ever had and
they took it out wait can I let you hear
it
maybe um King yimon cursing Warrior
order Hall St why couldn't you let me
die curse you curse your mother I will
fite your head down down your throat you
holding himself with under the
ground but that was uh apparently deemed
too much for um for my Warcraft so you
know it's been removed
imagine uh but yeah we interacted with
the Vu we did the whole udgar keep thing
uh we also learned a little bit more
about Vu culture
so what we learn in the future is that
uh keeper Odin would still this whole um
cultural idea that becoming a velir was
like a really cool thing right like
something that you had to strive for and
that joining him in his Halls was
something that every viol should live
their life in service to and a similar
thing is reflected here in northrend
where it's seen as a great honor to
become a velkey for the lichking um so
that's what the Vu are fighting for to
become
Yar they want to become like epic
Fighters amongst the
lichking
forces no bleeped out curse words I am
genuinely wondering what is happening
here iron Rune Smith okay so similar to
the frol we also have the uh Irvin that
are the predecessors of the dwars and
again under the idea of the curs of
Flesh the Irvin would evolve into the
dores we know as today although we also
learned about new Irvin on kogar with
the whole story for the war Within uh in
a similar vein we have mecom whereas the
mechan they would evolve under the curse
of Flesh and become the Gnomes as we
know them as today so the curse of flesh
is a curse that the old G Yak Sharon
placed in udar and that would infect
these Titan forged not just the ones
that would come out of the prison or out
of the machine after he infected it but
also pass on the curse to those who
already were created here we have shade
of arugal Aral was the one who summoned
a wargan into
asro and uh he died but then they tried
to resurrect him here um so we stopped
the Lich game for resurrecting arugal
I'm imagining that would be pretty bad
for to have the wizard that was able to
get like the warun out of the emal dream
in order to bring more for uh you know
the L King's Army it's not cool it's not
great um what else we
got oh yeah Thea the rusian oh my God I
forgot about
that gill so trolls right troll trolls
Once Upon a Time were the boss amongst
these lands trolls owned aerov pretty
much trolls were amazing but the trolls
oh they've Fallen upon Hard Times time
and time again um like in this case they
had to deal with the Lich King in nor
friend so the trolls they became so
desperate that they started to sacrifice
their own Loa devour them to get like
powered UPS or whatnot
so yeah it wasn't exactly the greatest
time for them uh there was also the idea
of zul and we'll talk about more when we
get there but there was the idea of
gundra being a raid instead of just a
dungeon that we went through uh hence
why it's so huge it's so big howy johy
hello right here we have a world tree
will you tell me which world tree it is
um okay now I need to remember it from
the top of my head I don't know it it
means like Fallen crown or something
someone in chat help me out what is this
one called again anyways this is a world
tree similar to a nordil similar to a
tasil similar
to the one in Dragon flight um once upon
a time they found out about is a for
dril there you go thank you very much
for dril Once Upon a Time we
had
malfurion who had a
follower don't help me I need to know
this come on brain we had tond T doesn't
know how to lead our people vendel stack
Helm we had St Helm who was like Hey
look we got this problem with serenite
right but you know what we could do we
could take like branches of nordil and
we just Plant World trees all over the
place and if we plant World trees it
will fix the corruption it will fix the
lands it's going to be
great ml furion told him don't do it
it's a really dumb idea and stack Helm
did it anyways and for a while vril was
doing fine vril was great it did exactly
what stel hoped it was going to do until
its roots hit yaron's Subterranean
prison that's right yaron is so big that
his prison where we face him right is up
here but he is apparently the size of
Norr that's how big yakon is um so the
roots they touch yaron's Subterranean
prison wherever that might be and from
that connection yuron is able to
infiltrate something called the emerald
dream and lay down the seeds what be
known as the Emerald nightmare So
eventually they figure out like oh
corrupt the trie we have to chop it down
now and so they did and it was a great
waste because you know it's not like
World trees just grow on other trees
ain't it ah well they do but you know
it's still a world tree it's still sad
so they had to bring it down um that's
where they put like the origin the
emerald nightmare uh we also is this
where we join oh I need to check the cam
is this where we join butt for the first
time I think it is actually hang
on Yoo but are you in
there
uh Samir do you have a butt around here
or not yeah you
do cool hi bud what can I do for you go
man so clearly this is but the troll uh
and I remember but as the one that on
the boat that goes
aho I'm
sailing but here he was still a little
bit sane of mind until you do this whole
quest line and he's like nearly
sacrificed to like the Lowa
dururu uh dururu pretends to be a very
nice troll but then it turns out that he
actually serves the Lich King but we
help him out whoopsy Daisy and they're
very much dealing with like uh the Warg
threet around these parts um don't get
bitten by the wargan cuz you will become
a wargan yourself um I'm genuinely
trying to remember what it was with the
Iran and electricity I remember that
there was something
about I'm probably going to be Undead
forces ain't it uh one cool detail to
mention is that the Lich King shows up
as you deal with the storyline with the
Vu um and this is something that falls
in line with the idea of he was
constantly showing up and taunting you
um this is something that they try to
miror with future story lines when it
comes to like the shadowlands and and
and the lichking and whatnot they tried
to mirror it but in its imitation they
forgot one important part which is the
lichking Tunas with a purpose um very
much the idea of you can't defeat me
anyways I can wipe you out with a snap
in my fingers cuz I am the Lich King you
can't defeat me so come Heroes face me
at the top of ice Crown uh I'm waiting
for you bring it and that's exactly what
we did and the L King was right we did
not win you might ask yourself yeah but
Noble hang on didn't we win at the top
of ice Crown weren't we like successful
and the L game was that yes but to that
I argue that we fullon cheated and we
have Tyrion X makina to thank for that
light give me one final blessing to
shatter these
bonds uh can you imagine being the Lich
King at that point and it's like I win I
have done everything right and then it's
like wait what Kaio what Kai okay and is
like no that's not fair and then he just
shatters Frost more and it's like oh
okay then and then we all get
resurrected and we Face the day and then
we win uh like obviously it's one of
those things that had to happen but I
remember having a discussion the other
day about isn't it allly convenient that
ayia was able to shoot the dark heart
and I'm like yeah but it was all
convenient that Tyrion was able to
shatter frostborn you know did the Naru
bless
Tyrion hard to say to be honest um does
all the light flow from the the Naru I
don't think we've ever got the full on
confirmation on that um I will say
though I do like that it was actually
tyrion's final blessing cuz after that
the light was like n f
you okay that's better like that's
that's ambient noise I need the actual
music uh cuz in Legion he was like the
light will protect me and then the light
was like I'll try but that's a lot of
fail and then he started to yell and
scream for the life uh urok oh yeah a
rip
OK wild god of the
Bears dead now full on
dead
um U headed coming wow so this is zra uh
with the drari trolls and as I said
they've had a really bad time in these
parts uh the Lich king's forces have
moved out tremendously with plague
spreaders with giants that have been
converted to their size and the campaign
of Lich King of northrend is not one
that's just instantly that that popped
up out of nowhere this is something that
goes back to the days that nul was crash
landed by the burning Legion on the
planet and he slowly but surely started
to creep out with his influence
and he's been using stuff like the
plague but also his own necromantic
powers manipulations and whis spers on
the air and his psychic abilities became
tremendously up to the point where arur
showed up at northrend and the Lich King
was already very
powerful and only more so when they
merged together again um here there was
a big old storyline where we actually
pretended to work with them also trim
the Hope Ender big old body parts put
together look at that look at the beauty
um and we joined the Giant in order to
fight against them here we pretended
like we got a disguise on and we
pretended to help them out over at the
base and then the Lich King showed up at
the end and he was like I know that
you're faking it stop it and then we had
to kill the guy that was in here like it
was awesome this quest line I always
love doing a dur ra lking cuz the reward
was great as well you get like a
necklace and a big amount of
experience um I was well happy about
that and in the case of
um gundra like I mentioned there was the
idea of we're going to turn this into a
raid but during development they don't
know exactly what they did with it did
they had a change of Hearts change of
Minds I don't know I do remember Jesse
Cox asking about a worm that he
found and that they never had a clear
answer for and Jesse was like listen
wait we need to bring up the clip we
need to look at that cuz you're you're
going to be like noble what the hell are
you talking
about oh yeah one really cool part by
the
way
um I remember
now um they were at the camp so that
means they're further up oh God where
were they again I think here they were
at the Loa camp or maybe there let's
find out uh there's one little neat
detail around
here no not here
[Music]
there's the idea of like we all have
battle razov behind us now so we've met
up with the zandalari trolls and in
troll Society the zandalari were like
the big Chiefs Once Upon a Time right
and they saw the other tribes as you
know like children spreading out and
like oh look how proud We Are of these
children the gurubashi the Amani the
Jakari but at the end the
the Zan thei still felt themselves
somewhat Superior to
them um so what we have in battle for
azov is we actually went to their uh
Capital whatnot but here back in raal
toking we have chronicler tokini and
they are here for a reason um they're
here to like chrony the downfall of the
Jakari Empire so that's kind of cool Oh
I thought that was kind of neat um right
Jesse Jesse asks about about snake oh
this is going to wreck my
recommendations ain't
it uh Jesse Cox that's even
[Music]
worse
[Applause]
nice so very very good question 13 years
ago by the way thank you
hey there guys uh this is a question
that I have had for three years uh one
and a half expansions I thought I was
going to get an answer in 4.1 I thought
I was going to get an answer with the
troll guy who asked his troll questions
but um here it is in the gundra dungeon
there is an area with the stone Sentinel
guys and if you look over the cliff
there's a big Wiggly snake tail and I
have been bothered by this forever
because there's nothing something that
massive and and snaky in the uh like it
so with these questions I I I've seen
Chris answer these in the past and it's
one of those like we we'll see I'll look
into it so I brought a
screenshot of it uh I blew it
up the man comes armed with a wiggly
snake tail 10 out of
10 a wiggly snake tail appears it's
super effective
[Applause]
effective that's serious face is well
like yeah
dude sure snake tail uh-huh dude just
showed you a snake
man feel
dirty so you said there was something
driving the trolls and and uh it ain't
that all right well so then what is this
giant snake
tail clearly it's a super critical story
point to World of Warcraft he hav't
found out yet it's it's it drives me
crazy and I you know I'm just curious
It's the first sign of the return of the
Titans and miv will be leading them uh
the forums will be holding is going to
leave Agra and start dating Jana
wow confirms just kidding oh oh how dare
you I don't know what the hell that
snake thing is but it's kind of
cool some I'll be very honest sometimes
really cool stuff appears in our game
and then we kind of scramble to figure
out why it would be there cuz it's cool
artists love to just do cool stuff and
so yeah sometimes sometimes we miss
something like something cool is there
and we're like oh wow I there you go a
worm Tail in gundruk now you know my
lordy Jesse is looking young there sheez
man go so
quick yeah they're going to bring in
that snake in a future expansion I mean
Jesse was one of the Pioneers when it
comes to the whole J as a dreadlord meme
and while it is one of the most annoying
things that I got on the stream asked
over and over and over again I find it
amazing that they used that concept and
applied it to Heroes of the Storm yeah
years that man has been proclaiming it
and it actually made it into Heroes like
come on that is [ __ ] sick
um so yeah t and gundra for some reason
um and here we're dealing again with the
darari trolls devouring their own Loa
and we had to go in and we had to stop
them cuz that's not something that
you're supposed to do
um there's also the Scarlet Crusade
making more Headway and very much altery
like this is you know drari Empire uh um
and if you're thinking about the Loa
thing for example hakar the soul flare
you've dealt with those Loa or again in
battle for azero the Lowa would a big
part of the xandari troll story arc um
volen is still in his little resting pod
with the Loa of Kings infused into a
soul so that might be a thing in the
future and yeah if you look at the space
if you look at what they've put down
here you can definitely tell like oh
yeah this could have been the size of
right nickos thank you kindly um
and as I mentioned like the darari
trolls have not been doing great similar
with the Amman and the gurubashi so
future story we would see them show up
in um Throne of Thunder where it was
like the Last Stand of the trolls right
like they tried to reinvigorate their
empire with their long lost allegiance
to um The Thunder King but again that
never really you know it didn't really
pan out for them like the trolls there
the the majority of the story for the
trolls is we had great Glory once upon a
time and we're going to try and reclaim
it over and over and over again and then
that just never happens there's also a
ring of blood to check out in this Zone
uh ring of blood has become like a
questing staple since the burning
Crusade with NE Grand although now that
I think about it I don't in shadowlands
we had the arena which was sort of a
ring of blood where's the where's the
Ring of blood in Dragon flight or in the
war with oh dragonlight had um the one
in the onar
plains where is the ring of blood for
the
[Music]
warin
interesting huh uh here by the way this
this whole amalgamation of body parts we
also have uh the one in NEX
ramas yeah deeper underground in the
undermine obviously obviously in the
undermine yeah yeah yeah um Dragon
blight this is where they put the
floating Citadel of nadamas the floating
CIT nadamas also showed up in the plag
GLS back in classic uh in which we
defeated Kel fat but the heroes that we
are we were offered a bit of money for
kusan fle tree which as a lich allowed
him to come back
um this is frost MN
cave and a frost MN gave a really cool
Quest played
out in which um a memory of the past
presented itself you might recall in
Warcraft
[Music]
fre why is there a little Throne
there was that always
there huh um you might recall in
Warcraft fre how arus was lured to
northrend by The Dread Lord maganus and
arus was like oh chase you to the end of
the Earth if I have to meaners you hear
me to the ends of the Earth and he did
and he showed up in north end with his
troops and uh he met up with merdin
bronzebeard merdin and arus have a lot
of history as merdin was the one hired
to teach arus how to fight cuz ARA
sucked at fighting and uh you know he he
saw the boy grow up so when he saw him
in nor again he was like Hey ARA
wonderful come in mdan was like on an
expedition they were looking for
something and um
arus was on the Quest for vengeance up
to the point where he had tried to
disband uer and the paladins and he
tried to you know just take the forces
and go but his father back home wasn't
exactly okay with what his son was doing
so when uer reported to the king tanus
the second like hey look listen arus
took the fleet and he went to Norr they
were called back by Daddy but obviously
arus was not going to let that happen he
burned down the fleet of ships and then
blamed it on the ass assassins on the um
not the Assassins on the
mercenaries and mdin was looking at arus
is like arus what that's not the boy
that I've known what and he's like Merin
you don't understand I have to claim
Vengeance everything is at stake I would
sell my soul to get things
done and that's what we call
foreshadowing because they roll up the
frost MN which was placed here on
purpose by the Dre Lords and nul and the
Lich King and on it there was um there
was like a warning be warned those that
pick up frostborn for you will pay a
heavy price blah blah blah you don't
want this s it's cursed and midan was
like it's cursed we should leave it well
enough alone arus take your men and go
home and arus was like n calling out to
the spirits you could take whatever you
want from me I want this Sword and the
spirits took meridin bum they took his
mentor his his childhood friends he took
the man that was with him through thick
and fin but do you think ARF is scared
no he just heard the voice of frostmore
now and he left murdan in the snow as he
rode off to get himself a bit of
Vengeance as well as a piece of his soul
was taken by frostborn um but yeah midin
was left there and we'll get to merin's
fate in just a moment so here I think
you can like reforge AR's hammer or
whatever there's there's a quest line
that takes you back in here um that's
kind of
cool out of the way
please cuz I am so V and I'm going to
learn all the lore leave me
alone uh Scarlet Crusaders oh yeah yeah
yeah okay so another part is that we
have the Scarlet Crusade and the scar
Crusade has an origin of infiltration by
The Dread Lords separation from the
Argent Dawn
uh darkness and the hatless horsemen as
you can imagine scar Crusaders not
exactly been doing great but what we
would see is that that same meanus that
taunted arus and Norr when arus picked
up frostborn nul actually allowed arus
to strike down meanus but as we would
find out if you strike down a dread Lord
as a demon at the art they just go back
to the twisting nether how does it work
with frost mn's Soul stealing abilities
shut up he went back to the twisty
Nether and eventually came back and
meanus infiltrated with the Scarlet
Crusade uh these Scarlet Crusaders they
uh were part of the death knight
starting experience and during the
starting experience they try to get to
the boats they try to leave the area um
and the L King does everything in his
power to wipe him out and they would
show up here and during questing we
would uncover that the Scarlet Crusade
is once again been invaded infiltrated
by The Dread Lord in this case
meanus um and meanus is
like you uncovered me did you oh not
that it matters I'll see you next time
ggs and once we saw him for the next
time which spoiler alert was up in ice
Crown uh he promised like you'll never
get rid of the Lich King without my
help and of course we did and then the
whole Melana story line fell dead and
now you might try to say yeah but Noble
hang on what about the shadowlands
didn't we deal with meanus in the
shadowlands did we did we I don't think
so that does not exist so over there
that Barry and West Winds yeah that's
that's that's meanus that right there um
I'm actually trying to think what did we
do with meanus I know that he was part
of liberating dfus did we kill
him oh I'm trying to remember now did we
kill
him can we kill him I don't remember I
just remember that meanus eventually
showed up and he was like haha you fools
it was the Dre it was the dread Lord all
along we killed him in the separer there
you go um
here we got the Forgotten
Shore actually playlist I want a bit
more lichi music cuz it's chill the
ambience but I'm looking for a little
bit more oomph you know what I mean it
has such beautiful music that'll work
why not that will work uh So Over Yonder
in front of
us we witnessed the parts where
um arus burned down The Fleets and the
ghosts of his men are still here cuz
eventually arus picked up frostborn and
then he chilled a long time in you know
listening to The Whispers of frostmore
and listening to the voice of nul um the
next scene in warc 3 is we see him back
as death Knights and over the a a lot of
people ask me like noble did did arus
die what happened here um my
interpretation has always been that he
gave up a piece of his soul and then by
walking in like the snow of nor he
actually died it was brought back as a
death knight by nul but that's always
kind of been my interpretation I don't
think that they've given an explicit
explanation to that um let's just say
safe to say it hasn't exactly been good
for his health and then when he showed
back up at Camp the men didn't know that
arus was now listening to nul was now
part of Team Bad Guy um so you know he
murdered them resurrected them made more
death Knights um all kinds of delicious
things now they too get to listen to
Whispers and voices and be forced to
serve um
are there Lumber Mills still here I
don't know I just see
boats I just see the boats in the quest
line by the way if you're feeling really
sad right now uh we do deal with telling
the ghost like yeah you're you're free
to go now your service is over so we do
we do deal with it um in the middle we
also have wormes Temple this is very
much connected or this is the the place
where the dragonflies would come
together
and uh the black the red the green the
bronze and the blue and discuss world
affairs and this is where the worm rest
the cord would make base um as I
mentioned earlier Mel Melos would regain
his sanity and judge the world Unworthy
of magic right and so called Nexus War
played out but we weren't alone in that
war we also had the support of this
Accord uh of the worm rest Accord that
would actually support us and show up
and
inside uh you can actually find an
ambassador of the black Drago flights
which is interesting cuz you know the
whole Corruption of the old gods in
there but they were still there here we
also see Kus and Kus is mainly a book
character but he is the most beloved
beloved of Alex RZA uh her consort and
whatnot he
is genuinely one of my favorite
characters which is a shame that he
didn't get much more to do in the game
uh he is dead now he died in the
cataclysm sacrif acfic himself to save
their ex but before that he
um he saved alexza from her enslavement
to the Orcs at the hands of the dragon
soul he traveled back in time to the
days of the war of the Ancients where he
played a critical role in saving the
world from saris and the burning Legion
uh recruited Ronan of course with uh
Alyria oh sorry with um verisa a poor
Vera one day you'll get some story
um CR was awesome we also have a hi
kigos of course new models in here
that's kind of cool so the dragon
flights are here you might remember in
the cataclysm we fight against Deathwing
and we go into the radio actually end up
here at the worrest
temple uh another thing is this big old
Road uh the path of the Titans and Once
Upon a Time the lands of azero were all
closely connected right like they were
all together uh but then the suering
happened The Well of Eternity imploding
10,000 years ago uh so I'm kind of
wondering if once upon a time there was
just one massive road that connected all
these Titan places together cuz this
road goes forward and I think it shows
up
in that one PVP ground a let me have a
[Music]
look help me out here they added a PVP
ground it was
not it wasn't winter gross it was the
other one the one with the
orb on an island the Battlegrounds maybe
I could see it in the Battleground list
hang on uh strand of the Ancients thank
you uh if you look at strand of the
Ancients um that also has um bits and
pieces of the road so that that seems to
be connected to each other um as well as
uh the road leading up to storm peaks
into udar so the idea is that this this
big old Road Once Upon a Time connected
all these Titan places which would be
kind of cool um but never really gone
anywhere as far as I remember uh at some
point they need an extra raid so they
open up the raid underneath uh worm
rests where uh we got a ray bust to
fight cuz I think there were you know
the time between patches or time between
expansions took a little bit longer than
that and this way people had something
to do so all of a sudden we find
ourselves fighting against thear and and
The
Brood uh the dragon raid and here of
course the moment where it happens the
greatest
moments in World of Warcraft history for
me for me obviously although you can't
see it right now uh this here is the Ral
gate and now you got to imagine go back
in time I started playing raal theit
King again cuz I saw wow hops play his
Paladin I was like I'll play a paladin
it's going to be great I can solo stuff
it's going to be awesome and then I I
was just questing through the game and
eventually end up in this quest line
where you're dealing with a lich and and
then you're dealing with
bolvar of um yeah you're dealing with
bolvar and
um this here cut scene started to
play and it just it did things to my
brain let me show you what the cut scene
was all
about and apparently like Teran Gregory
has done a lot of presentations about
this it took him so many crunch days in
order to get this
done worth it am I
opinion oh look at that hi
[Music]
Teran so you know just questing chilling
and all of a sudden a cut scene started
to play in game now you're all spoiled
yeah every 5 minutes you get a cut scene
take the light for Lord for the alliance
this is one of the first time I got one
hell yeah
[Applause]
back you mindless
wretches on
Brothers what record by the
way they are hitting someone else
they're hitting people with people yeah
just just for the records
rise up sons of the horn Blood and Glory
awaits us for The
Horde sorry uh so at that point B for
Dragon I was like oh I remember somewhat
of a bolar like classic standing next to
endwin um but I was like ha what the
heck's happening here and then orc show
up like oh this is sick Blood and Glory
await us
[Music]

hor I was wondering if you show up I
couldn't let the alliance have all the
fun

Fang one shot it taken into the
blade this is you will pay for all the
lives you've stolen traitor boldly
stated but there is nothing you
can uhoh
what did you think we had
forgotten did you think we had
forgiven behold now the terrible
Vengeance of The
Forsaken death to the scourge and death
to the living
hi everybody and again uh The Horde
helped them experiment in order to
perfect the plague and make it so that
you know it would melt the faces of both
the undead and the
living this
isn't
over and here lies one of the greatest
heroes like the H lost theirs now all
can
see this is the hour of The
Forsaken gold our slowly
dying we're
finished No Escape for any of
us the Eagles are coming The
Eagles I still wonder what
exactly Alex stza did here cuz I get the
part about you know infusing him with
dragon power and I'm guessing
resurrecting him
but did did it give him like super
powers is he Immortal now like what
happened as well as uh and this is
something that you can see in game once
you've actually done the quest um and
people have figured out what they're
trying to say in draconic so in the
quest line um KES and Alex RZA show up
and cres has asked his beloved like
should we tell them should we tell them
what happened to bver because they know
they know that bver was still alive and
they know that bver was taken and for
some reason
um for some reason they decide to keep
that to themselves and like n we
shouldn't sell them and like huh neat
all right well I guess we're keeping
secrets
now I mean accidentally resurrected
him maybe but then still the idea of why
why did she decide to keep it a secret
from the rest of the world
right maybe they were embarrassed maybe
they were like Whoopsie Daisy didn't
mean to bring him back
uhoh can you see what they say exactly
now with dra fear um people have already
figured it
out I don't know if the dra fear can
actually speak the draconic
one why wasn't that used against the
Lich King after reclaiming of City the
plague barrel all the political effects
of this um like they were not happy with
Sylvanas had done so the idea is um and
we spoke about a little bit earlier as
well the idea is did Sylvanas plan this
moment or
not the question is did Sylvanas betray
the alliance in The Horde at the rool
gate and there's been debates about
change in Choice whatnot personally I
don't think it really
matters um because the result is still
there they still created a plague which
they tested upon the living they still
created a plague which they throw out
and they say death to the unde death
death to the living so it's not like the
Forsaken carrot when they made this
plague um that the weapon that that she
lost unders City and whatnot I don't
think was planned um but ultimately they
still made this Uber weapon and I think
that's fully in line with the character
that is Sylvanas she would have done
anything and everything it took in order
to take care of arus
um so creating a place that would wipe
us all out is entirely in line but what
we don't see anymore which is out of the
game now you could check it out on Ral
tion classic but it's gone now uh the
battle for the under City so what
happened after this is that the tensions
between the alliance and The Horde are a
little bit high as you can imagine both
SI has lost the Champions uh syvan is in
the middle of it and
um we find out that vfas the dread Lords
who has been with Sylvanas since warc 3
and she tested him and she was like your
brothers um he's never been truly loyal
to Sylvanas and he's been working
together with
Apothecary
putus in order to develop the plague and
betray sanas so back home the under
city's been taken away from the Beni
queen and the horde and Alliance both go
in in a really cool quest line in my
opinion in which you had to go through
the sewers and fight against Undead
forces and um cleared way up to the
conclusion uson
where VAR and Rin still very much
dealing with his L gush side his
aggressive side just losing ball for
four dragon the man who held his kingdom
together while he was kidnapped and
whatnot a hero amongst the
alliance Varian was like you know this
this whole partnership with a horde it
cost us more than the Lich King ever did
like what what are we doing here we
should wipe him out whereas Jana was
like oh we can't Varan she wouldn't have
that change of heart until missed the
Pandora uh and meanwhile frol just sat
there with saour Fang and he was like
like so many times we try to come
together and every single time there are
outside forces that are trying to mess
it up will we ever see that peace man
will we ever um by the way the whole
betrayal in under City in varas he tried
to summon sargeras into the worlds
there's
um amongst the throne room different
portals opened up as we did the battle
and there's like a dark voice that comes
from the portal um he tried to summon
sargeras so
so shout out to V Maas for you know
shooting shooting shooting his shot
trying trying to reach for the stars uh
didn't exactly get the job done which is
why when we Farm again in
Legion he wasn't exactly having the best
of time because you know Saras is not
reward failure so by the time that we
met vfos again
well
yeah
[Music]
yeah even worse he was wasn't actually
serving Saras all along he was actually
serving s nephus but hey V muas didn't
know that in that
part
[Music]
so just going to skip that part okay
what else we got
um we got lay lines that are being
pulled into the Nexus that's not good we
don't want that that will destroy the
world uh oh we got the n
Ian yeah yeah dragon flying is overall
everywhere now overall so I'm getting
tired a it uh no rubian so one of the
first forces had to deal with the
lichking with nul is that um they enter
the war of the spider and some really
cool details in the war within is that
their leader anarak he actually shot a
message to uh to the queen
to nefes and he was like hey can the
forces of ashat come help out the forces
of
aulu and the queen was like nah also
hinting at the idea that he wanted this
fight but that might just be Queeny
propaganda either way she like nah it's
not really our fight is it you deal with
it so anuak was left alone and the
nerubians they fought against the L
king's forces and they had like a high
resistance against
his resurrecting Powers but I believe
that they were not immune to the plague
or vice versa either way they were they
were in a battle that they could not win
a battle of attrition and against the L
king's forces where the Fallen are just
resurrected and to fight once more
you're not going to win that fight up to
the point where anarak actually was
slain and resurrected to serve theki you
might remember anuak showing up in
Warcraft 3 guiding Aras around and
whatnot um yeah he did not do that
willingly he also showed k fusan no raas
for the first time and uh I did with
nickim mukluk like a really cool um
Machinima for that moment and when k fad
was shown around in the nas he realized
that he did not want to serve nul the
Lich King he was like okay you know what
I might be a mad scientist a crazy
Wizard and I might like the devil a
little bit in necromancy but what you
are doing is a bit too far for my taste
it's a bit too far but by that point he
could not pull out anymore at that point
he had to serve so that was kind of cool
um and for serving the Lich King um he
got the title of Traer King from the
other nerubians cuz there were still
nerubians living and throughout Warcraft
3 we also saw a really interesting
moment in the questing where they see
like this ancient forgotten one which is
linked to yakon which linked to the old
gods and it was a bit of an weird
interaction cuz anarak was really afraid
of it whereas the origin of the
nerubians lies with the influence of yak
Sharon so it seems like over time that
they kind of stepped away from their old
God that's interesting here we also have
the tusker uh the tusker are loved by
many I personally am not massively a fan
of them nor do I hate them it's just
like they're kind of just there um they
were given a lot more story in
dragonflight as far as I go in this
moment the one thing that comes to mind
is the arus novel where they were trying
to huddle against the icy Winds of
Northend as AR's mood also influenced
the weather which kind of cool uh in
dragonflight they got a bit more with
the shark Lowa and teaching calos how to
say goodbye to loved ones
[Music]
um ding different Dragon shrines of
course because Dragon Blade is the
graveyard for
Dragons um before the dragon Isles where
they were supposed to you know and the
dragon ises still also have a graveyard
uh but eventually they got locked away
from the dragon ises as they closed off
shop and they were like okay we got to
go out and we got to help the world now
uh so they appointed Dragon Blade as
this ancestral graveyard and then Dragon
blades you can find the bones of gagron
gagron was this mutated Proto Dragon the
first big threat that the dragon aspects
fought against is what United them as
Proto dragons is what showed keeper te
like hey these could be Guardians for
the world
um and so
they had like this origin of Dragon
Evolution they didn't really tell people
about gagron and his corruption or
whatnot but here we see that the
lichking is trying to bring back
Gant these are part of his bones so
obviously we stopped that from happening
we don't want gagron to come back or do
we um every hello by the way everybody
I'm hope you all enjoying uh Story Time
by the way and all the old gods are
confirmed dead
yes and I think this is also where we
Allied on the hord side with the Tonka
which is a separation from the Toren in
a similar vein where on Mr Pandaria
would find like the fire torren here you
found the ice torren if I remember right
if I'm wrong and I'm being very racist
right now please forgive me um
right I think that's about all I can say
about dragon blide dragon blade has a
lot man oh yeah winter grasp has uh a
bit of
um Titanic history behind it like a
Titanic facility I think inside of
winross there's this journal of a giant
who talks about how they closed the
doors and that just life went on until
we showed up as the Alli in we started
to fight over this piece of
land good place to get yourself a
mammoth
mounts and it was a decent enough
Battleground in my opinion um I remember
them experimenting with uh like broken
buildings and whatnot and more vehicle
combat a lot of northrend a lot of Ra
lkin was vehicle combats up to the point
where a lot of people actually started
to complain about it like I know that
Ralph the lking is heralded as like the
expansion which is fair it's a really
cool expansion but it was by no means
perfect as none of them are in this case
I remember a lot of people complaining
about Tri the Crusader having Mount
combat and WW having Mount combat and
then winter cross with a mountain combat
and people were like then um Oculus
mountains combat and people were like
yeah but bliss listen I got a character
right
um I want to play my character I don't
want to just use these
vehicles reason why the Battleground was
there strategic points oh
I think it was the treasure inside and
the Titanic Vault I did a story upon it
at some point but for the life of me I
do not remember wasn't it that the raid
opened up once you actually did it hang
on if it's a raid then we should be able
to look it up in the book A it let's
find out Ro lit
King Vault of R Caven oh it does not
have a description oh man n there's a
journal inside I think it was just glor
and loot to be honest the orb that I'm
thinking of was from the uh Isle of the
ancients
a happy to hear everybody I like the
Jing I love the Jou thing um I didn't
overall enjoy just the the the ketchup
systems cuz I got a little bit bored
with it but I like the
jousting um okay so here we have the
Boran Tundra aka the boring Tundra
depending on who you talk to and uh oh
there's the orb okay here this is
usually where the alliance would show up
and one of the things that I really
appreciate about this is that uh the
sence gets to skip the line here right
okay oh sorry sorry and I always felt
like that was the perfect way to honor
Heroes of the past so they would
remember that you fought in past War so
by the time that you show up at
northrend they're like hey hero you can
skip the line just sign up right away
and you can start fighting and I thought
like oh that's some really cool uh
recognition of what's happening I
believe that the story of fian plays out
a bit part here like farari is the death
knight that was able to set himself free
from the L King control and then he
start to look for his family
uh but by the time that he find his
family one of them is taken over by the
blood elf vampire the s lane who's like
dominating her mind and so fian has to
fight and keep her free and then he
decides to keep his distance cuz that
would keep them safer if I remember
right um that's a part of the story line
then here we would deal with a fishy who
was Once Upon a Time speared by
something from aora and we'll also find
out more about the cavaler
and these are cursed Vu now at the time
I think they were just cursed
Vu and uh I've done a story of the s
lane
[Music]
yes heard that story about 50 times in
the adversary event yes that that plays
out here uh I'm trying to remember and I
have to apologize I don't remember I I'm
trying to think what was the explanation
for the corrupted Vu here so these are
these would eventually be given credit
that these are creatures that went to
helheim to hela's domain these are the
FR they were not made worthy of Odin's
halls but that story given in Legion I'm
trying to remember what they gave in
raal the Lich King I'm going to assume
that it was just the idea of these are
frul taken over by the Lich King or
something or just cursed um but for the
life of me I do not remember the story
that they had back then what I do
remember is one of the most badass
dialogues that take place in this entire
freaking game uh G's hell scream was
taken out of uh outlands was taken out
of neand by fro and
um he was given leadership over this
campaign into northr uh but not by
himself like that would be a bit silly
imagine that just giving him leadership
over the hordes after what a year not
even that that'll be weird right just
get it for two years at least uh so for
now he had like a sour Fang to help him
out as well as a Karen eventually showed
up and um in the dialogue sour talks
about the history of The Horde and
about how they had fallen to the blood
curse how they were forced to serve the
burning Le and and fall into darkness
and Corruption how the sounds of P
squealing reminds him of of the
murdering of the drenai children and how
if and when Gage would ever lead them
down the dark path and saour fame would
personally put him down uh but also
honor no matter how dire the battle
never forsake it and that wisdom garos
would take with him into the cataclysm
unfortunately he didn't take him with
him further than the cataclysm but at
least one expansion I suppose um and in
the campaign like here you see a very
much hot-headed garage ah how would you
win the war oh I would just smash
everybody and that's a really dumb
tactic and he's like I'm just going to
smash everybody uh so SAU Frank tries to
teach him a little bit better than
that we also see in the back
ends a uh rather interesting cameo cuz I
mentioned that Nas was in Dragon blades
uh and that we were the ones who sld the
fle tree of Kad which allowed him to
come back a second round and I never
really knew this until a couple of years
ago um because I never really played a
hord character into northrend but when
you go through the quest line here you
actually can find Kel fuad himself
leading the
charge and I always love to think about
the story of Warcraft in the sense of
like a Warcraft three campaign so here
you would have ow um you know K fad
leading the troops on the battlefield uh
and I believe in this quest line you try
to confront K fuad and then SAU Fang
shows up to save the day and then he's
like don't tell anyone that I saved it I
like okay thanks s Fang
goodbye yeah gar had a really good story
really liked it
[Music]
um coast of echo go over here we got the
basee for the blue Drager flight the
Nexus and um this is again the place
where those Twilight dragons went to and
um Melos ate them got his sanity back
and decided to declare war upon the
world that's the place where it happened
here and a lot of people really hate the
Oculus I really like the Oculus I I I
always thought that the Oculus was a
pretty awesome
dungeon uh in it's pretty unique where
you have to pick a dragon at the start
you have like a tanky dragon dpsing
dragon healing dragon and another sort
of dragon and just with the dragons you
go through the dungeon uh you fly across
the platforms and you do the thing but I
think it's just because people didn't
really know how the dungeon worked
whatever you also got the Nexus really
really nice dungeon not such a nice
storyline uh in the story line we see
the red dragon flight poke at
Melos um take care of one of his
consorts to which Melos is like well if
you're going to take one my consorts I'm
just going to force you to be my consort
now which is pretty [ __ ] up not going
to lie that's that's pretty effed up so
whenever you go through the Nexus and
you fight against ker estraza whether
the Torches inflicted on kerista were
revenge for the death of Saragosa or a
misguided attempt to turn her into an
ally is known only to Melos regardless
of his intent her allies have heard her
cries of Anguish and disturbing Whispers
of her diminishing
Minds
um so we put her out of her misery
inside the Nexus and then eventually we
would also go into the raid where we
actually fight against Melos I loved
doing the solo video on this one
um really beautiful fight and we
actually had to put down one of the
aspects and for the longest time the
blue dragon flight would be without an
aspect not until um the cataclysm where
something rather interesting and rather
unique happens uh you know how in Dragon
flight we tried to like reinvigorate the
Oak ston and it didn't go anywhere and
then the tree just re-empower the
aspects well we had to re empowerments
before that but it was really specific
and really special it was the the two
moons lined up and the blue dragon
flight had to pick a successor for Melos
and in the running there were two blue
dragons there was
Melos and then there
was not auros senos I think it was senos
it was the child of Melos but
interestingly enough it was the child of
malos that was saved by cres due to time
travel and putting his EG in a Time
pocket
anyways turns out that that child of
Melos was already in Le it was it was in
sagos okay OS there you go it was OS
turns out
igos senos a grand puppy there you go
thank you turns out OS was actually in
League with Deathwing oh oh my so if
they had chosen him then they would have
chosen an aspect that was already
serving the Mad aspect but thankfully
that didn't happen and then in the book
this whole story played out calos is
picked as the new aspect but they were
also working
on in classic you might have remember
going into Blackwing lir where nefarian
has done experiments to make chromatic
dragonflight infusing all the different
powers of the Dragon flights into one
you might remember like fighting against
the chromus which is the clo that he got
but there was another one which was
[Music]
um five headed dragon come on brain you
can do it if they call that one Chom
magas then what would they call the
five-headed
dragon seov why not they call the
five-headed dragon sepher off anyways
was it chromatus ah well there you go um
chromus was to be the doggy chromatus
was the five-headed dragon tiamut
exactly warcross version of tiamut um
but for to bring life to the beasty
there was going to be in need of a lot
of power so what they did was and bear
with me now
you had fro who escaped dur holds and
inside of dur holds you had sta Foxton
who was serving her Lords a Dess
Blackmore good job rain you still got it
we're only going for nearly an hour and
a half we got
this but there was this alternate
reality where Blackmore was not an
alcoholic and Blackmore was actually
able to dominate the world so that
Blackmore was pulled out of the timeline
struck down aragos aros's blood
activated like the Nexus and then um
focusing em and whatnot and so they
brought the dragon Bey to life and they
plan to have it made with not cindra
[Music]
Goa tiosa she was part of the blue
dragon flight and dragon
flights but thankfully kosa thank you
but thankfully we were able or at least
FR and compatriots were able to put down
the dragon before anything like that
happened and and um the one holding the
the leash of kosa was the uh Prophet
which we would then take care of in the
Cataclysm dungeon
um dark Bishop dark Prophet yeah and um
the beasty chromatus was so powerful
that they couldn't just get rid of it so
they decided to imprison it and to this
day it's still a enemy that they can
bring to the Forefront but apparently
there's trouble with making a
five-headed dragon boss uh we've had
snakes before into like the Throne of
Thunder where different heads would show
up we also have mounts now with three
heads attached to them so maybe we're
getting closer to the five heads who is
the say another storyline is the Gnomes
if I mentioned the Gnomes with uh the
meches with the curs of Flesh they turn
into the Gnomes uh but here we find out
that they actually have the capability
of transforming them back into mechanos
now this is something that we did not
want so we prevented those things from
happening but this is a similar
storyline as they repeat it in mechagon
you might remember mechagon battle FR
asov um if not you're going to go into
the dungeon with the war within big
patch um but in mechagon King mechagon
also wanted very much to reverse the
effects of the curse of Flesh they were
very much like we need to upgrade a body
parts let's get this done um but here
they already had the power to do so it's
just a matter of we did not want them to
do
so
um Temple City again this is the whole
fian storyline the death knight showing
up with his
sister
um that happens here and then the s lane
that that I mentioned throughout our
questing adventures in ra lking you
would encounter Lord Dilbert thank you
very much uh you would encounter three
of the s lane the vampiric blood blood
Els and they would all come back into
the raid into ice clown Citadel and they
would like share an orb of Life amongst
each other and behind them you can
actually see the portals that look like
um the background droppings as to where
you killed them for the first time which
I thought was kind of cool unds and all
[Music]
that uh these
beasties um to add to gish's Cruelty
they were taken from nor friend and
added to his army and then they
threatened the children if they didn't
fight for him there was like a little
bit of an extra detail for gish's
cruelty with the whole bombing of fedore
and the war that
followed um one last thing is the
introduction of King mgle mgle I suppose
the guy that runs around in the murloc
outfit tries to make friends out of
murlocs I mean that's that's a
thing right SCH is our base
shazar Basin is in a similar vein like
uro crater and the veil of Eternal
blossoms or at least according to a Reon
the petri dish for the Titans little
places where they could mess around with
wildlife and see what kind of cool
experiments they could come up with
um and I believe that this area still
looks so Lush and beautiful and warm is
because they had like those pillars that
protected the area but up ahead we would
encounter a where the pillar was broken
and the undead were coming in and one of
um cooler quest lines you can do you can
actually get like um a Titan robot to
fight off the undead forces and um a
Gateway between uro and sholazar can be
dropped here so you can actually connect
those areas which kind of cool so it's
all very much tiany
hello oh no I didn't do that there's
actually another player here hello other
player
hi hot European Santa I'll take a gold
Queen hello there you can't get into the
war of
inure all right I mean there's not not a
whole lot to do against it I
suppose it's not your Jammer it's not
your Jammer it's fine
um right so in this one what I remember
most is that we have like an avatar of
Freya Freya being one of the keepers
that we later run into in ulir and we
also have the war happening between the
oracles and the puppies and the reason
why you want to go with the oracles is
because they can give you a
mount that's the whole reason as far as
I remember um one interesting detail is
that the oracles know about the word
fragar and fragar is a big thing for the
war Vin right now cuz we're learning
that fragar are like crystallized Irvin
that tried to break apart aero's
confinement which indicates that maybe
azero is trying to break
free um but it also means that the
oracles some way somehow got into
contact with the fragar and we notice
because of the exploration azer of
northr book which is where one of the
first times actually dropped the term
fragar so yeah the oracles know about it
they they see mne and they call him
fragar but at that point in time the
only connection that they gave was like
yeah it's Titan in Origins like oh okay
um we also got the one and only Hamet
nessing Weare in this area um Hammet is
of course the master hunter the Green
Hills of strangle forn the [ __ ] is
this uh
has this always been here I bet this has
always been
here I do not remember going here before
H um I do always like the decorations
that they give to the Titans Creations
they're all they're all so very humany
when it comes to
it ocean in the cliff side ah cool
always been there isn't it neat yes it's
neat very
neat uh the corway in the middle of
storm peaks
yeah the corway is a storyline that you
go through with brand bronzebeard and
then you fly out of it with the little
Chopper
thingy uh but if it was rough or if it
was Legion I would have to double check
uh we'll go over it once we get it the
storm peaks let me finish up exploring
this area uh like I said we got the NES
base here uh the oracles and the Wolfies
that you party with uh similar with uro
we also see these crystals although I
don't think that the crystals have
ever played like an active role into
things like yeah we got crystals go
collect
them H different pillars different
elements they could do something with
[Music]
that yep we're leveling only by
exploring right now we are level
67 and we still need oh this is the
teleporter by the way to
uro um and we've just reached northrend
so we've done four
zones it's a little bit crazy uh I have
killed one thing in my
entire in my entire leveling experience
uh I've killed the first robot in the
uran area and that's
it the rest is all been flying here uh
statistics six kills
one just one my hands feel so
bloody I am so vow I was supposed to be
better but I still murder
them but it's uh I'm zoval Vengeance
incarnates and um I am on the Redemption
Arc
okay I'm trying to learn more about the
world that I tried to destroy and um
the wonderful places and all the things
that I put into motion you
know you got to about 58 and it stop
registering all
right no issue so
far uh it's h actually we might be able
to pop in and get a journal let's
see uh which zones did I do in Norr so
far we have done uh howling F boring
Tundra Dragon blight winter cross and
shoulders are basing so we still need to
Crystal song storm peaks and then into
ice
[Music]
CR
um there's a journal here we
go let me actually sit down cuz my legs
are getting a wee bit
[Music]
tired okay so earlier people ask like
what's the idea behind wintergrasp and
here we have Aron's log who explains
what time has been like as they've been
stuck inside
right um day 10 the makers are gone I've
been left to watch day 10,500 the Halls
are quiet and empty I thought that the
makers wanted me to watch the hall but
they never specifically said aravon
watch the hall maybe it's okay if I
watch outside too it would probably be
less boring outside it is decided I am
now responsible for watching the hall
and the outside I should to take on my
new responsibility next month day
20,20 the outside is much more open than
the hall there are convenient Cliffs and
mountains bordering it I'm now confident
that the Maker's meant for me to watch
this too I hope they don't notice that
I've only been in the hall for the first
decade so and then we go way higher I
invented a new game today it is called
Kick the Revenant I made it from the
front of the keep to the main road
before next year I'm going to try to
land it over the river some little green
people came today I've added them to my
watching responsibilities the little
green people have built extra buildings
here now more building seems good I
think I will speak to them this week and
thank them I thanked one of the little
green people today for the extra
buildings he told me that he'd be
bringing more people for me to watch
soon lots of them I'm excited that more
things to watch the little green people
brought a lot of other pointed them at
each other and then they all started
fighting I have trimmed my watching
responsibilities back to the hall for
safety but I brought a lot of their
bobles with me so that it can maybe be
less boring this time things have gotten
much worse I'm not sure what the makers
want me to do I'm trying to stay in my
hall but the violent people come in
after me several times a day and they
take my
bobles my brothers are back it turns out
that they were sleeping in other closed
off Halls I'm a little bit mad that they
left me alone to do the watching but I
shared my shinier bubles with them
because I'm tired of being alone and
attacked all the time the violent little
people have started attacking my
brothers which is sad they leave me
alone mostly now though which is not sad
I think think they want the shiny
bubbles I gave away I feel
guilty which is kind of cute how they
gave a AR Ray boss an explanation as to
you know this is where their stuff comes
from and this is what they've been doing
I kind of like it stand Des is more more
to play I would very much recommend uh
apparently sitting still for x amount of
time per day is like really bad for your
health um and by having a rotation
between 1 hour sitting and 1 hour
standing you are doing yourself much
more favor as well standing desk is not
even that expensive anymore
um for me the ergonomic chair was the
big spender uh the desk was like 200 300
bucks or something like that which of
course depending on your budget can be a
lot of money don't say get me wrong
but it is a desk which will last you a
long time yeah 240 yeah yeah yeah we
went in there and pillaged yeah we just
showed up built some
houses killed each other and then we
took their stuff so here in Crystal song
Forest if I remember
right there was the elves Gathering
Power and the spellwork went arai and
instead of asking the help of the
Dragons they decided to do it themselves
and that kind of backfired and so the
whole Forest crystallized including the
elves their
Spirits haunting the
land and I think it came down to a miss
conception of they didn't trust the
dragons to just leave them
alone which was even sadder cuz you know
the dragons had no ill intentions
towards them and so they used their
spellwork and it kind of blew
up a gaming standing desk nah in my
experience those gaming chairs and
whatnot are a [ __ ] are not worth the
I'm not going to call them a scam CU
their product is anything but they're
not worth it compared to the Quality you
can get and not have to call it a gaming
chair I had one of those race car
thingies you know what I mean it was
sitting on plastic pedals it hurt my
body I'm old I need ergonomic
stuff so would recommend yes um over
here in the storm peaks and this is one
of the cooler parts of raal theit King
is that eventually you got flying and
you unlocked like more parts of the
story more of the zone and one of the
things that we uncovered in the storm
peaks is recall the story about arus
picking up Frost MN and sacrificing
whatever it took including his longtime
friends M and bronzebeard Well turns out
that murin didn't
die I
know I
know murin was only knocked out and then
left in the snow and then when he woke
up he had like a massive headache and he
had
Amnesia so the badass that he is cuz
he's still a bronze beard he eventually
starts to like Wrangle a worm or
something like that he meets the uh
dwars of the area and he's such a badass
that they make him
King how you like them apples so he
didn't die he became a king in his area
so that's kind of cool uh and we find
him and we reconnect him with uh I
believe bran was the first and in this
time mne was still flashy So mne
eventually shows up because mny in his
grief over losing mdin forged the
ashbringer like when he fors the
ashbringer he thought that Muran was
dead uh which was not the case so Muran
came back uh became a King here which is
also why uh these days with the whole
Council of three hammers that mne feels
like Muran is in the spot where he's
supposed to be that he is a much better
ruler than mechy ever
was so yeah uh this also like the Titan
Road that we spoke about similar thing
connected here
um I remember the gbo area as like an
explody area cave three I'm trying to
remember um there's the Vu Proving
Grounds with the future valkyrians
trying to get to them and we Ally with a
witch who gives us a disguise to make us
look like them and we infiltrate their
Sisterhood and we get to ride like a
Battle Bear and whatnot and we get to
learn more about their culture about how
they want to prove themselves in order
to be worthy of becoming a a Velar now
of course we would later find out that
the VY who served the litz king were not
doing
so out of kindness and War of their
hearts uh it wasn't exactly a great job
but this is something that history
repeats itself the origin of the valky
has changed over the years because raal
the L King came before Legion right but
in Legion we learned that it was
actually keeper Odin who unlocked the
secrets of the fu and then with the
shadowlands we learned that na na na na
na keeper Odin learned the secrets of
the valkir from the Kyon so he
sacrificed one of his eyes to muela to
the Jailer gazed into the shadow lands
and learned about the fru sorry learned
about the valkir and with that knowledge
he made his valkir he made this whole um
prove yourself worthy and we will escort
your soul up to my halls and then hell
yeah was being forced to serve and from
that arus the Lich King would then take
his spin on
it um whereas story-wise the way we got
the information is the other way around
uh there's
also a big old storyline when it comes
to the keepers and uoir and this is
with okay this takes us back in in in a
very long
time this takes us back Jesse Jones
hello there Merry Christmas this takes
us back to the origin days of the Titans
finding as off and seeing it all
corrupted by the old gods the days of
the black Empire and the Titans were
like
e brother e it's that's not order it's
chaos and they brought order to the
world they battled the black Empire they
had the keepers to do the fighting for
them and
uh halfway finished by the we're almost
there and eventually uh the elemental
Lords were imprisoned into the elemental
Plains and then the old gods were
imprisoned into their Subterranean
prisons like we spoke about J shiron who
touched the tree all the good stuff but
you know old gods being old gods they
want to break free they want to break
free he wanted to break out of his
prison and his opportunity would come
when Saras struck down the
Titans up in in the space Saras was
informed by the others that they had
found anov and they had tried to save
the spirit where Saras was like yeah
we're just going to kill it destroy it
get rid of all the corruption they were
like no no no no no we we can save them
we can do it and um so did not believe
them at that point in
time he would come
back whatever he was fell infused which
the Titans are weak against that like
his burning leion whatnot and um he
struck down the Titans first he did
agramar which he completely killed and
then the other ones they were able to
get into a bubble before he like struck
them down completely and in their bubble
they went back to azarov to the keepers
which has been empowered and created in
the likeness but the spirits of the
Titans entering the keepers it had um it
had a bit of a cascading effect so in
the case of
keeper keeper keeper Ren from M from Mr
pandoria keeper was the smartest of the
keepers and eventually figured out what
happened to the Titans and he fell into
a full-blown depression which would lead
to the mou the curse of Flesh the
Rebellion all the good stuff and
eventually def fund the king but here
nor friend the keepers you know they
felt something was
wrong but they didn't know exactly what
was happening and they got a little bit
confused a little bit confused a little
bit
weakened and that is something that yak
sharan capitalized on as he started to
work his Magics on keeper Logan yes Loki
Lan it's all based on that and he
started to manipulate Lan up to the
point where Lan killed
for him's wife
shiff if I remember
right and then loan was like a [ __ ] what
have I
done and then yuron was like
ha and then he had Logan infect the
machines with a curse of Flesh and also
strike out at the other Keepers so a a
for him and an uh
ho I was going to say Hodor but H there
and the other Keepers like one by one
they would fall
even mimon keeper
mimon um like the keepers they all have
this Titanic body right but you might
notice how keeper mimon actually have a
mechan body uh who is keeper mimran you
might ask well if you ran uoir before
you might
recall like notice how you know Freya
has like a keeper esque body and then
for has a keeper esque body and hoder
has a keeper esque body and then there's
mimon
a this is not the design of the Titans
a I mean he might have looked out a
little bit like this cuz he was the one
who like invented mechanos but the
mechones found their struck down keeper
and they took like his body and they
took a spirit and they placed him into a
robot form so that was that and slowly
but surely over time yakon weakened the
balls that held him in place in udir
until D Wanda was in prisoned actually
ran the prison um and the whole place
dis corrupted and slowly but surely was
wiggling his way out of his prison many
years later we would go into nor friends
and bran bronzebeard with the Explorers
league would actually enter uoir and
they would discover what was happening
with yakon like what the [ __ ] he is
breaken out and we will get a pretty
cool cut scene going to play in a moment
we also have the halls of lightning and
the Hall of Zone where we actually
confronts keeper Logan and his
corruption but keeper Logan is kind of
clever because he had made it so that he
was going to be the prime designate so
originally the prime designate the big
boss of the
keepers was keeper Odin yes that Odin
that [ __ ] up in the sky in Legion he
was supposed to be the big boss that's
why when they decided to empower the
dragon aspects and he was like I am the
boss I am against this it was a big deal
when they were like ah we're going to do
it anyways he was supposed to be the
prime designate and Logan messed around
with the machineries in ulir and he
messed around with the technology so
that whomever would find out what
happened in ulir would get like wrong
information and when he died there would
be like a message sent out to Elon The
Observer like hey something's going down
you got to come down and apprach the
planet now which
is when we go into udir and you might
remember like fighting that space
creature that like analyzed the planet
and he's like oh my God there's so much
corruption in ulum there's that
Machinery that would have activated had
we not kicked the crap out of algalon
and had Ronin not given his speech
citizens of Doan Raise Your Eyes to the
Sky and
observe they deemed us unworthy but we
showed them we showed them we are worthy
of
life as well as the patch for udir was
of course Very Much connected to the rth
gate and and the battle for the unders
City cuz at this point in time the
alliance and hord were supposed to be
working together with each other for the
glory of azero but as you can imagine
[100:02] not everybody was down with
[100:19] that r
[100:24] [Music]
[100:29] how how could we have missed this until
[100:34] now ah man King Varian thank you for
[100:38] coming on such short notice what's this
[100:40] all about Ronan I've I've called you
[100:43] here to ask for your help while our
[100:45] efforts against the L King press on so
[100:47] at this point you also got to imagine
[100:48] like Jana was a great help for Varian
[100:50] when he was separated by onyia Jana is
[100:52] the one gave him those twin blades which
[100:54] come eventually become shamain they
[100:56] still need to explain more about those
[100:57] blades in my opinion so Jana was a
[100:59] trusted friend ofar and also uh followed
[101:02] him into the battle for the unders City
[101:03] and prevented him from striking out of
[101:05] fro um so here they ask you know Ronin
[101:08] Legends ask for their aid and very
[101:11] answers to call but they're not the only
[101:13] ones who are being invited on bran here
[101:16] has brought us frightening news of the
[101:18] horrors beneath Ludo and of its dark
[101:21] prisoner prisoner
[101:23] hauh with its binding
[101:26] shattered its influence
[101:29] unchecked it's going to come after us
[101:32] and we're going to be the
[101:36] prisoners you can see now what we're up
[101:38] against if this evil is not stopped uhoh
[101:42] then the armies of the Dead God will
[101:43] march on our doorstep you'll have to
[101:45] excuse me cut scenes have gotten so far
[101:48] man well what do you propose we do
[101:54] FR what are you doing here FR what are
[101:57] you doing here so soon the summon
[101:59] sounded dire J dire what's
[102:02] happened bran bronze Beard's forces
[102:05] assaulted the gates of
[102:07] udir they battled the iron Lords and
[102:10] their cursed Minions that I will say
[102:12] about uar being able to pick your
[102:14] difficulty by doing certain things in
[102:15] the raid itself not just a slider but
[102:17] actually you know take down certain
[102:19] pillars and whatnot or don't uh ask the
[102:22] aid of certain keepers or don't cool
[102:24] mechanic I wouldn't mind seeing that
[102:26] come back in in action in
[102:38] action he he won't stop talking about
[102:41] this presence he felt permeating the
[102:45] great Halls stirring in their minds
[102:49] chilling their
[102:50] blood he said the whole hor that the
[102:54] Titans imprisoned so long ago y Saron
[102:59] has
[103:00] awakened I want to see this dwarf Kos to
[103:05] see the fear in his eyes then we'll know
[103:09] if he's telling the truth no no wait we
[103:13] are going to need all the help we can
[103:15] get if we are what what are they doing
[103:18] here let me explain I thought I smelled
[103:20] the stench of alliance's pigs control
[103:23] hold yourself you want I don't know
[103:25] about all of you but that orc right
[103:27] there I would make that orc the war
[103:30] chief of the hordes in the very next
[103:33] expansion I would do that my blood come
[103:37] then
[103:39] dog he's
[103:41] P I can't imagine it going wrong stop it
[103:47] we
[103:48] [Music]
[103:50] have a great deal in this conflict
[103:53] but we stand to lose everything if we do
[103:56] not stop fighting and work
[104:01] together a true Warchief would never
[104:05] partner with
[104:08] cowards at the Wrath gate the hord's
[104:11] partnership killed more of our men than
[104:13] the
[104:14] scourge I'm done with your
[104:17] horde may this death God take you all
[104:23] still some of the hardest lines that we
[104:24] can find in the story though let's be
[104:29] fair you disappoint me
[104:35] gash which is the line that he would
[104:37] repeat at the end of Mr boria before
[104:39] trying to take his head the old God is
[104:41] laughing toying with
[104:44] us who will be our hope who will stand
[104:48] and face
[104:50] yon I will I will all do it and so the
[104:54] alliance and hord red their forces and
[104:57] uh save the world where our leaders
[105:00] could
[105:01] not uh yeah that's
[105:04] uh pretty sick not going to lie
[105:09] um who canonically killed yogs I would
[105:12] have to double check the Chronicles but
[105:13] I know I think it's um sorry I think
[105:17] it's
[105:18] bran assisted by hord and Alliance
[105:21] adventurers who rose up to the call I
[105:24] think both sides have been given credit
[105:26] for going
[105:27] in uh but I would have to double check
[105:29] the Chronicles to be 100% sure about
[105:33] that yeah adventurers yeah yeah I know I
[105:35] know that it's in the in the line of
[105:38] body Alliance and horde were struggling
[105:40] to work together with each other the old
[105:43] God laughed in their face ha but
[105:46] thankfully the world of asol was not
[105:48] alone it's Defenders blah blah blah
[105:50] rolled up and we're like hello we'll do
[105:52] it
[105:55] um so yeah uh we would actually go into
[105:58] uar and as I mentioned Lan was terrified
[106:01] that people would discover what he had
[106:02] done that the titans most of all like
[106:05] again the whole destruction of the
[106:06] Titans um or that algalon would show up
[106:09] and be like loc what have you done
[106:10] because they had when the Titans left
[106:12] aser off they left behind the discs of
[106:14] norgon which would record all the
[106:15] history that took place on the planets
[106:17] and from those discs like imagine if
[106:19] somebody actually read those right um
[106:22] this is the reason why keeper iron a
[106:26] arcadas and all that this is why they
[106:28] ran away from udar uh with the discs of
[106:31] norgon which we can find in Ulan that's
[106:35] the whole reason why they left uar
[106:36] that's why tier sacrificed himself in
[106:38] order to blow up those
[106:40] kxi
[106:42] um and which is why when we so many
[106:44] years later showed up here Lan was still
[106:47] terrified um and upon killing him as I
[106:50] mentioned um we got observed we got
[106:52] scammed and we smack some senses to them
[106:55] uh one really cool part to mention in my
[106:56] opinion is the
[106:58] speculation that you're too kind
[107:01] lination um is the speculation connected
[107:04] to Yak Sharon because once upon a
[107:09] time we would go into yaron's head and
[107:13] there were visions that were playing out
[107:15] inside of his mind there's one Vision
[107:17] about gona killing varian's father
[107:19] there's one Vision about the creation of
[107:22] the dragon soul
[107:24] and there's one Vision about the Lich
[107:26] King tormenting bvar and that was a bit
[107:29] of um you know there was a bit of a
[107:32] teaser as to what was going to come
[107:33] because we didn't know if bfar was alive
[107:35] or not right um but the question became
[107:38] like why does yakon show us these
[107:41] memories and he always has like a line
[107:43] connected to it um so the dragon soul
[107:46] was easy enough like the old gods
[107:48] influenced Deathwing into make and the
[107:50] dragon soul so that is clearly connected
[107:52] to the old God Gods so from that point
[107:53] of view does that mean that Corona's
[107:57] corruption influence of killing King
[107:59] Lane back with like The Horde invasion
[108:02] is that also rooted in Old God's
[108:04] corruption we do know that shal and the
[108:06] Tet Hammer were very much team old God
[108:08] so does that have to do with it and then
[108:11] the question became FAS thank you very
[108:13] very much if those are in line with the
[108:16] old God's corruption then how come
[108:18] there's a connection to the Lich King
[108:21] and you might recall that y R is like
[108:23] bow down to the true god of
[108:27] death like oh [ __ ] you're the true god
[108:29] of death what the heck uh also many
[108:32] years people were wondering like what
[108:33] happened to keeper uh tier cuz he wasn't
[108:36] at his Tower and that's where the
[108:37] speculation came from from T's fall t
[108:39] fall which by now has actually been
[108:41] confirmed
[108:44] um but the connection to Yak Shan and
[108:47] the Lich King can be found once we go
[108:50] into ice Crown Citadel
[108:53] and what we learn in ice Crown is that
[108:55] there's this substance that could be
[108:58] found
[109:00] serenate serenite like
[109:04] aerides but not the same serenite is
[109:07] like the crystallized blood of the old
[109:09] God Yak shuron which again it gives
[109:12] credit to actually how big the old God
[109:14] is the size of northrend and the undeads
[109:17] are massively mining the serenite and
[109:20] they're building up ice Crown Citadel
[109:22] out out of this serenite from Yak Sharon
[109:24] and so the speculation
[109:26] became is yak Sharon influencing the
[109:28] lichking his choices like what is
[109:30] happening
[109:32] here and a fair bit of speculation
[109:35] happened there I'm I'm trying to
[109:36] remember like in Legion with the uh
[109:38] shards of frostmore the death Knights
[109:40] would make an artifact and throughout
[109:41] the world were like images of the Lich
[109:42] King that were taunting them like you
[109:44] still follow his path I'm guessing by
[109:46] this time that has to do with um zoval
[109:50] the Jailer but back then the Limitless
[109:52] potential was still
[109:54] there and people were speculating people
[109:56] were wondering so here we got Tyrion
[109:59] foring leading Arch Crusade into battle
[110:01] into ice Crown the hearts of the Lich
[110:04] King for uh Undead Scourge Army uh I
[110:08] have seen Arcane by the way L the
[110:10] Arcane and we we we let the charge the
[110:14] light leaned way there was a bit of
[110:16] infighting between the alliance and the
[110:17] hord I remember something about the
[110:19] hordes backstabbing the alliance some of
[110:22] the gates
[110:24] somewhere that happens the [ __ ] is
[110:28] this is that a
[110:30] spider is that a spider Target dummy
[110:32] what the [ __ ] is
[110:34] this oh yeah it's
[110:37] uin cool sorry I'm noticing things from
[110:40] time to time like I have I ever seen
[110:41] this in my life yeah probably um so up
[110:44] in the sky we see two airships and again
[110:47] like the alliance and horde conflict was
[110:49] kind of going on as it usually does the
[110:51] alliance and horde fighting each other
[110:52] of trying to focus on the big bad um but
[110:56] eventually we would figure out that bvar
[110:58] was still alive and they saw
[110:59] bolvar uh for some reason they saw that
[111:02] the liberation of bolvar was going to
[111:03] menant ties between the alliance and the
[111:05] H like if you were able to say bolvar
[111:07] then you know Varan would be less pissed
[111:09] cuz B still there uh Danos SAU Fang
[111:12] Faruk SAU Fang would men ties but at the
[111:15] same time for some reason during the ice
[111:16] ground raid we also start to blow each
[111:17] other up again which is weird because
[111:20] we're trying to save bouar we're
[111:23] we're trying to do the same thing but
[111:25] there's never not a perfect opportunity
[111:27] for the alliance at the hord to kill
[111:28] each other uh we're also flying over
[111:30] cnra Go's rest if you remember the
[111:32] introductionary cut scene for Ral the
[111:34] lichking where arus stabs the world with
[111:36] frost moorn and then the dragon comes
[111:38] out that is synr Goa synr Goa was the
[111:42] Prime mate of mos back in the war of the
[111:45] Ancients and during the war of the
[111:47] Ancients the dragon soul was created
[111:49] Deathwing struck out and cnra Goa was
[111:53] hurt bad she was flown all the way to
[111:58] the cold lands of ice ground and
[112:00] crawling through the snow and through
[112:02] the cold she tried desperately to reach
[112:05] Dragon blight that graveyard for fallen
[112:08] dragons and in her Minds as the life was
[112:12] bleeding out of her hatred and Vengeance
[112:15] filled her up hatred for
[112:19] Mortals hatred for Melos for Deathwing
[112:23] for everything she hated
[112:25] everything hatred had filled her up
[112:27] before she
[112:29] died and then many years later arur
[112:31] showed up with frostborn and he was like
[112:33] yeah I'm going to rest you now similar
[112:34] to what he' done with uh sephar off I'm
[112:37] going to resurrect you and make you an
[112:39] undead dragon and then she started to
[112:41] yell really loudly about Magics and make
[112:44] everybody's ears hurt so that was that
[112:46] wasn't too Pleasant uh but we went into
[112:48] ice CR we took care of business and then
[112:50] later in Dragon blight we would actually
[112:51] put her spirit to rest which was a
[112:52] really cute Cur line not going to lie I
[112:54] think they've done really well with that
[112:58] um she was blind I think she was blinded
[113:01] she was bleeding she was crawling she
[113:03] couldn't really fly anymore it was bad
[113:06] like you got to imagine that the other
[113:07] blue dragons they were drained like a
[113:12] [Music]
[113:15] raisin uh she made it to ice but not
[113:17] Dragon BL wouldn't drag be closer so in
[113:19] essence the the way there was like they
[113:21] were fighting at The Well of Eternity at
[113:22] that that area massive explosions and
[113:25] Magics and she was flown Over the
[113:28] Horizon so as the
[113:30] explosion she landed in ice crown and
[113:33] then as she landed here she tried to
[113:35] crawl her way back into Dragon Blade so
[113:37] it's not like she flew to ice crown and
[113:39] then decided oh [ __ ] let me turn around
[113:41] it was just she was blown all the way
[113:43] here and then she was nearly dead and
[113:45] she tried to crawl back out and she
[113:46] couldn't reach there uh in this area we
[113:50] also have the s lane story with the
[113:54] blade you can get the bettered Hilt and
[113:57] the bed Hilt would lead you onto a whole
[113:59] storyline where Once Upon a Time Kila
[114:02] sunrider already did not like arus in
[114:04] life cuz kilas had the Huts for Jana and
[114:07] then Jana decided to go with arus
[114:09] instead of the Millennia year old elf
[114:11] and kilus was like
[114:13] ah I like her first that's whatever he
[114:16] wasn't a blonde beautiful Paladin so
[114:18] Jana did not pick
[114:20] kilus and then arus kind of destroyed
[114:22] Kingdom and murdered his father and
[114:24] corrupted his sunwell so as you can
[114:26] imagine kopos was not a happy camper
[114:28] with arus so he tried to join illon into
[114:31] his campaign at a nor end and you know
[114:33] Murder him but they failed so a whole
[114:36] bunch of blood Els died and eventually
[114:37] they were brought back and they became
[114:38] the s lane like the vampiric creatures
[114:40] and I remember in battle for azov there
[114:42] was a hord war campaign with the S Lane
[114:45] which kind of had people wonder like oo
[114:47] will we see the s lane join the hordes
[114:49] that did not happen um
[114:53] I don't think Kos and Jane met in
[114:55] shadowlands
[114:59] no and throughout the batted Hill quest
[115:01] line we learn more about that uh we also
[115:03] reforge it in the powers of the sunwell
[115:05] the reinvigorated sunwell after burning
[115:08] Crusade living in theast we need you
[115:11] back in the we need you back in the
[115:13] present zal can you stop enjoying the
[115:15] zone that you were enjoying and can you
[115:17] join the rest of us in the current
[115:19] expansion um no no I cannot Crow me let
[115:24] me enjoy my area all right it's my space
[115:27] my area so yeah we learn more about the
[115:30] s lane this is also the spot where we
[115:33] would run into meanus again where he
[115:35] gives us the line like hahaa you will
[115:36] never defeat him without me
[115:39] um this is also the proven ground for
[115:43] the vul to become velir like the the the
[115:45] most powerful forces amongst the Lich
[115:47] Kings
[115:48] ranks
[115:50] um and oh yeah at the beginning we spoke
[115:53] about
[115:55] arvus contemplating his life when he
[115:57] picked up the helmet domination and
[116:00] merged with nul and
[116:03] um he stabbed his Human Side his his
[116:07] last bit of L his kindness and he
[116:09] stabbed nul in his mind right like a
[116:11] very metaphorical
[116:13] transformation but that of course leaves
[116:15] the question like does that mean he
[116:17] absorbed those into frostborn did he
[116:19] actually kill them are they gone and
[116:21] here in is a bit of
[116:24] um a bit of a pickle a bit of a
[116:27] difficulty to ask that question cuz I
[116:29] think it was more like a metaphorical
[116:30] rise rather than actual getting rid of
[116:33] them and the reason for that is that we
[116:36] actually see mafas laner as a quest
[116:39] Giver in ice Crown as well as we hear
[116:41] the Lich King say I used to be a shaman
[116:44] now if the nerzul essence was entirely
[116:46] gone why would he say that as well as if
[116:49] MF laner was taken by the swords how how
[116:52] come we see them as a quest giver and
[116:53] the quest is actually really really cool
[116:55] so
[116:56] arus at some point realizes that I think
[117:00] it was his battle with illan in front of
[117:02] ice Crown where he gets like taunted and
[117:04] he realizes that his heart is a bit of
[117:06] weakness like whenever throughout his
[117:07] journey whenever Jana came up as subject
[117:10] his Mor mortality still played a part he
[117:14] was like my heart very very Davey Jones
[117:17] from from PIR the Caribbean he like my
[117:19] heart is just in the way it's I don't
[117:22] need a heart I don't need these mortal
[117:24] feelings I I just want to be the Lich
[117:27] King so he carved out his heart and he
[117:29] threw it away and then we found
[117:32] it which was kind of gross but we were
[117:35] like hey if we can get rid of his heart
[117:36] then we can weaken him right uh so
[117:39] Tyrion showed up at like the dark Chapel
[117:41] nearly gave his life to destroy the dark
[117:43] heart and it did hurt arus quite a bit I
[117:46] wonder if it nerfed him if it did it
[117:48] didn't Nerf him enough but maybe uh we
[117:51] actually just destroyed his heart you
[117:53] know Tyrion realizing there's nothing
[117:54] left of the good and Holy Paladin that
[117:57] you once were you are truly a monster
[117:59] arus you are nothing but the Lich King
[118:01] and we're coming for you in once again
[118:03] one of the more awesome cut scenes you
[118:05] can find I'll play it in just a moment
[118:07] but again dealing with the lichking
[118:09] dealing with the Forsaken of sorry
[118:11] dealing with the scourge
[118:13] um the problem is that you
[118:17] bring reinforcements for the enemy if
[118:20] your reinforcements suck
[118:22] so if the opponents of arus the lichking
[118:25] would suck if they weren't good enough
[118:28] we would just bring our own demise to
[118:29] the doorstep of ice Citadel so we held a
[118:32] little tournament before we went in the
[118:35] little tournament the Argent Crusade
[118:36] where the greatest and glorious came
[118:38] together uh we once again saw a bit of a
[118:41] continuation between the Rivalry of the
[118:42] alliance and the hords Varian throwing
[118:44] words at Gage Gage throwing words at
[118:46] Varan Tyrion trying to hold it all
[118:48] together like we must focus on the real
[118:50] threats losing these people it does
[118:52] nothing but then the Lich King shows up
[118:55] and he's like hey Tyrion good job on
[118:58] organizing a tournament but um did you
[119:00] forget that this is ice Crown did you
[119:02] forget that this is Norr this is lit
[119:04] King territory baby you're in my house
[119:08] now um to which he dropped the Champions
[119:11] down below and they had to fight narak
[119:13] once again here's the blade by the way
[119:15] quar it's called if I remember right so
[119:18] if you get the bed Hills you can do the
[119:19] quar quest line would recommend if
[119:21] you've never done it before go to your
[119:22] auction house pick up the battered Hill
[119:24] follow the quest line it's one of the
[119:25] more fun lore ones you can do um but of
[119:29] course our heroes
[119:30] survived the trials and tribulations and
[119:34] to this day there are still little RP
[119:35] moments to show up uh I think they're
[119:37] times so sometimes you'll see ARA some
[119:40] arus Varan and Jana walk by sometimes
[119:43] Garrison fro there's another one I think
[119:45] um this is also met Edgar the pure
[119:48] there's a couple of fun characters and
[119:50] again the whole mount combat was not
[119:53] appreciated by
[119:55] everybody and sometimes it was kind of
[119:57] ass but I enjoyed it I thought it was
[119:59] kind of cool like throwing away the
[120:01] shields uh opening up the way to deal
[120:05] some actual
[120:06] damage
[120:07] um you can also get yourself I had
[120:10] someone ask that the other day um Lord
[120:13] dxus comes out of here edric deure
[120:19] yes um you can get yourself an upgrade
[120:22] for the Squire pets so last time I
[120:26] summon my Squire and somebody was like
[120:27] hey you can use them as a bank I like
[120:29] yeah I can use them as a bank um but for
[120:31] the life of me I don't remember where
[120:33] you pick up the item all I know is that
[120:35] you pick up the item so it's like
[120:38] [Music]
[120:40] um it's like a what is it not a girdle
[120:44] it's like a I don't know it's a thingy
[120:47] you can pick it up from the arch and
[120:48] Crusade it's one of the items here also
[120:50] if you're ever into achievement and you
[120:52] want to collect mounts or whatnot then
[120:57] um Argent cament is a really good place
[120:59] to start it's just going to take you a
[121:00] very long time cuz it's daily and you
[121:02] need to get yourself some tokens and
[121:04] whatnot so yeah
[121:07] um was it in this tent then must
[121:12] be for the
[121:14] [Music]
[121:16] Crusade
[121:20] I and I Doom broom okay it might not
[121:23] show up cuz I already have
[121:25] [Music]
[121:32] it bunch of Gears well yeah 180 days my
[121:37] Lord we will have
[121:40] Justice oh here we
[121:42] [Music]
[121:44] go uh TT Banner Pony Bridal this is the
[121:48] one that you want so now your Squire
[121:51] will become a bank if you add this to
[121:53] [Music]
[122:00] it uh are these transferable your
[122:03] Champion
[122:04] [Music]
[122:07] seals they
[122:10] Areo let's
[122:14] go let's
[122:19] go okay I have 65 I can get myself a
[122:23] warhorse
[122:28] [Music]
[122:32] yeah now I have a Argent warhorse y all
[122:37] [Music]
[122:39] jealous that's what I fought everybody
[122:42] wants a warhorse
[122:44] yeah
[122:46] um they a bank a vendor and a mailbox
[122:49] not sure when it took it all away from
[122:50] it really I thought it was just
[122:52] cuz if I summon my Squire right
[122:54] now
[122:56] uh I just want to why call that
[123:03] oh is it because it's Alliance maybe I
[123:06] don't
[123:07] know anyways when I summon it I could
[123:09] tell it like hey become a bank and
[123:11] whatnot um what else did I say okay so
[123:14] we did the Crusaders trial we proved
[123:16] ourselves in combat the lit King shows
[123:17] up and Noak goes down again uh we
[123:20] prevented infiltration
[123:22] there was also merely a flesh wound
[123:24] which is a reference the montypython and
[123:27] the Black
[123:28] Knights uh or The Dark Knight the Black
[123:31] Knight kind of shows up it's kind of
[123:32] cool and then it was time to assault ice
[123:36] Crown but it didn't just go in and were
[123:39] like okay hello arus my old friends
[123:42] there were steps to be
[123:44] taken things to be done and so the
[123:47] alliance joined Jana whereas the hord
[123:49] joined Sylvanas and today's day I'm
[123:52] still a little bit flabbergasted that
[123:54] Sylvanas did not join when we took out
[123:56] arus at the end but whatever they at
[123:58] least got the Dungeons and there were
[124:00] three dungeons connected to each other
[124:02] in a singular story we started
[124:07] [Music]
[124:09] with I think it was the forge of souls
[124:12] that's where we
[124:13] started or the
[124:17] pon where did we start again team was it
[124:20] a pedar the for Souls those are the
[124:23] forge of
[124:26] souls Forge pit Halls all right start
[124:29] with the forge right where you can get
[124:31] yourself a big old backpack Papa's new
[124:34] bag right uh pished by the devour souls
[124:37] and then we go deeper
[124:39] into the uh Forge of souls no sorry into
[124:43] so it's getting late uh the pit outon
[124:46] where a lot of the uh mining of the
[124:48] serenite took place and a lot of slaves
[124:50] were taken captive
[124:52] uh but we also found out that sometimes
[124:54] the master is separated from frost and
[124:56] if we could confront arfus without
[124:59] frostborn if we could take the blade
[125:00] away from him it would be a great
[125:02] benefit so we joined in and we're like
[125:04] okay cool let's get that done um one of
[125:07] the more Mimi uh speculations was that
[125:10] Jana let people die on purpose she could
[125:12] have easily teleported more people away
[125:14] uh but we also find out that arus has
[125:16] gotten quite the power upgrade since
[125:17] last time svan has fought against him
[125:19] which is again a bit of power scaling
[125:21] that happened during story cuz Sylvanas
[125:22] was like I want to confront arus no
[125:24] matter what and she got an opportunity
[125:26] to go one-on-one with the man um but it
[125:29] turns out that it was far too powerful
[125:30] to get things done and she had to run
[125:32] away for her
[125:34] life um to come back another day
[125:36] unfortunately that second time never
[125:38] really came forward um it would end up
[125:41] in Halls of reflection we would face off
[125:43] against F and marwin AR captains in life
[125:46] now serving him in on death um and as it
[125:49] says we had to escape from arus both
[125:51] Jana and Sylvanas ended up with um our
[125:56] fleets our sky ship showing up and like
[125:58] blowing uh the cavern so that arice was
[126:01] stuck uh but real really
[126:04] cool so hello really cool way of telling
[126:07] a story and actually getting a bit of a
[126:08] power sense as okay how powerful is this
[126:12] lichking character why should we be
[126:14] afraid of him and to see someone like
[126:15] Sylvanas go like oh yeah when I fought
[126:17] him again in when I fought against him
[126:19] in Warcraft in Warcraft 3 he was much
[126:22] weaker than he is right now I was like
[126:23] oh [ __ ] and over time throughout the
[126:24] expansion time and time again he showed
[126:26] up not that afraid of us more like
[126:28] taunting us to get to him um which is
[126:32] really cool to see as well as uh uer the
[126:34] lightbringer showed up in this one which
[126:37] is still in relation to the shadowlands
[126:40] a bit odd and I think I mean I was going
[126:43] to say maybe they should explain it once
[126:44] upon a time like we have an uer spirit
[126:45] that shows up at his tomb and then we
[126:47] have an uer spirit that shows up here as
[126:49] he was stuck in Frost MN but then we
[126:51] also have uer Spirit had made his way to
[126:52] the shadowlands where he was wounded and
[126:54] he was waiting to pick up arus when he
[127:02] died you know it didn't have to be that
[127:04] way you invented that
[127:08] storyline didn't have to invent that
[127:10] storyline did not have to come up with
[127:12] the Jailer could have just kept well
[127:14] enough
[127:15] alone anyways we tried to separate him
[127:18] from frostborn did not happen um
[127:22] and so we had to do it the hard way we
[127:24] had to gather of forces go into ice
[127:27] Crown Citadel and for that they gave us
[127:30] one of the more hard ass badass cutcenes
[127:38] which just encompasses everything up to
[127:42] that point and I [ __ ] love it
[127:54] [Music]
[128:02] [Music]
[128:06] rise up Argent
[128:08] Crusaders the hour of justice has come
[128:14] [Music]
[128:31] Can you feel it my
[128:32] son closing in all around
[128:36] you the light's justice has been
[128:40] awakened the sins of the past have
[128:43] finally caught up to you you will be
[128:47] called to
[128:49] account for all the atrocities youve
[128:57] committed the Unspeakable Horrors you've
[129:00] let loose upon this
[129:05] world B
[129:08] storm and the dark ancient Powers you've
[129:14] enslaved sour Bank boy
[129:20] oh which again the writing was just so
[129:22] strong back then as well like often it's
[129:25] you know based on soul was one of the
[129:28] first to be devoured by your evil a lot
[129:31] of thousands more bound within this
[129:33] blade and they cry out for
[129:40] [Music]
[129:41] [Applause]
[129:45] release look now to your defenses my son
[129:49] for the champions of Justice gather at
[129:52] your
[129:53] [Music]
[130:05] [Applause]
[130:11] Gates let them come Frost MN hungers
[130:18] [Applause]
[130:21] so [ __ ] sick one of my favorites
[130:24] honestly one of my favorite intro cut
[130:26] scenes that they've ever done um so as
[130:29] we can see quickly fly by in that is as
[130:31] you go through the raid
[130:34] um my pleasure
[130:37] stars um a lot of the FES come back in
[130:40] so one of the bosses was actually SAU
[130:43] Fang's son the one who died at the rth
[130:46] gate and we learned from Yak Sharon's
[130:48] Vision that he's been torturing bouvard
[130:50] to try to convert him to join him on his
[130:51] side and the difference is that bvar was
[130:55] resurrected in the dragon flame whereas
[130:56] SAU Fang Soul was just instantly taken
[130:58] up at Frost MN um and I'm a mad at them
[131:02] for creating the Jailer I'm not happy
[131:03] with it I don't I don't think I would
[131:05] are connected to Mad more disappointing
[131:09] like it's just it wasn't needed it sucks
[131:12] nothing of value was gained um the list
[131:16] goes on and on and on
[131:19] so yeah we we got to the top of ice
[131:21] crown and as I said
[131:24] uh the connection between uh shooting
[131:27] down zotov and the dark heart that's
[131:29] oddly convenient in a similar way that
[131:32] Tyrion got his final blessing is oddly
[131:34] convenient because the cool part is ARF
[131:36] is one of the bad guys or one of the
[131:37] enemies that um they won as similar to
[131:42] when we fought Argus in Legion arus won
[131:45] we were dead on the ground he did
[131:47] exactly what he set out to do which is
[131:49] gather the most powerful forces as had
[131:51] to offer on-shot them and resurrect them
[131:54] in on death was it not for Tyrion and
[131:56] his so-called final blessing from the ls
[131:58] and shaing frostborn at just the right
[132:00] moment we would have lost so in that
[132:06] regard I wonder like I wonder how that
[132:10] would be received these days with how we
[132:13] look at the
[132:13] storyline uh and for me the the line of
[132:16] there must always be a Lich King always
[132:18] felt a bit weird because I always are
[132:21] argued
[132:23] that it counters what they've done so
[132:25] far so arus wanted the most powerful
[132:28] force to be at the top of ice ground
[132:30] which is us and he wanted to resurrect
[132:32] it so we have already proven that we are
[132:34] more powerful than anything else he has
[132:36] in his army but okay fair enough maybe
[132:39] it's the numbers like maybe the undet
[132:40] could outnumber us and so they would
[132:43] overwhelm the world and I was like okay
[132:45] then bolar puts on the helmets guides
[132:48] all the undead to the pit of
[132:50] saon the dragons they do their deep
[132:52] breath attack and we win then you can
[132:55] just get rid of the Lich King I never
[132:56] understood the whole mindset of there
[132:58] must always be a Lich King and
[132:59] unfortunately they haven't done anything
[133:01] with that either because we had the
[133:04] shadow L pre event and that's about it
[133:07] then the helmet was ripped apart there
[133:08] is no Lich King and
[133:11] um we're perfectly fine so bvar sitting
[133:15] on the top of ice Crown in the in the
[133:17] Frozen Throne didn't lead anywhere and
[133:19] you can meme about it like oh yeah it
[133:20] was just not NE necessary but it it
[133:22] could have let somewhere you could have
[133:23] used this in a much better way but you
[133:25] know yeah had a pit of Saun I mean tell
[133:28] me tell me that that is not the naming
[133:29] scheme that they're going
[133:31] with right saite
[133:35] sarite um so the aftermath of Ral theit
[133:38] King is that sylvan's windrunner and the
[133:41] Forsaken they wrapped up their
[133:43] storyline and now they had to come up
[133:46] with some other reason some other way
[133:47] for the Forsaken to exist and up to this
[133:49] point they um all their entire storyline
[133:53] was based upon surf in the dark Lady
[133:55] based upon getting vengeance upon arus
[133:57] and now what job complete right yeah
[134:00] okay fair enough B are still there but
[134:02] job complete and what they decided to do
[134:04] is have Sylvanas throw herself on the
[134:06] top of ice crown and by doing so she
[134:09] ended up in hell she ended up in the m
[134:12] and she made a bark with the valkir
[134:13] because she didn't want to be in hell
[134:15] and at that point in time her motivation
[134:17] became to stay alive later they added
[134:19] the Jailer to the story arc so not only
[134:21] did she got in touch with the valky at
[134:23] that point also with the Jailer who
[134:24] showed her
[134:26] that the afterlife is unfair you're
[134:28] being judged upon your actions in life
[134:31] in the predestined World we're going to
[134:33] rewrite the universe you're just got to
[134:34] be tortured uh yes I look like a walking
[134:37] frostborn but you could totally trust me
[134:40] um syvan started to work with the source
[134:43] behind arus the lichking and that is
[134:46] something that I'm just like who in the
[134:48] writing room was like this is a good
[134:49] idea like the the whole characterization
[134:52] of Sylvanas up to this point is to claim
[134:54] vengeance upon arus and now you're going
[134:56] to make her work together with the thing
[134:57] that created arus you better have some
[135:00] really solid arguments and story lines
[135:03] to make that happen and they didn't in
[135:06] my opinion um but we'll get to that more
[135:09] when we get to the shadowlands uh
[135:12] exploration beyond that uh buar picked
[135:16] up the helmet of
[135:17] domination to keep the undead in check
[135:20] came back a little bit in Legion with
[135:22] the falor artifact quest
[135:24] line uh as well as the shards of frost
[135:27] MN and there was this speculation at
[135:30] some point that bver was being a little
[135:31] bit dodgy making death Knights sending
[135:33] him out on me on missions on his own he
[135:36] like B what are you up to buddy you a
[135:37] little bit fall into the dark side but
[135:40] again that didn't go anywhere either
[135:42] instead he lost the Sylvanas which I
[135:45] know a lot of people are upset about B
[135:47] losing to Sylvanas at top of ice CR in
[135:49] my opinion
[135:51] bolvar was holding back the necromantic
[135:54] powers of the Lich King didn't want to
[135:55] fall into them whereas Sylvanas was now
[135:58] being Juiced up by the source behind it
[136:01] so I can see her win against bolvar it
[136:03] just sucks that bolvar had to lose and
[136:05] the whole characterization of bolvar in
[136:07] shadowlands um it just sucks because
[136:11] they literally have his daughter beray
[136:13] him for being a
[136:15] hero ah we are all the flash Papa you
[136:19] suffered at the top of ice Crown but so
[136:21] did I I had to live in ceras and be
[136:25] surrounded by loved ones while you froze
[136:26] your ass off could you not have send me
[136:28] a Christmas card papa how dare you
[136:30] become the Lich King and hold off the
[136:32] endless Undead
[136:36] armies I'm not even meing by the way
[136:38] that is her stay while with bvar where
[136:40] she just [ __ ] Beres him
[136:45] um meridin
[136:48] returns and became part of the Council
[136:50] of fre
[136:52] eventually ulir we liberated of
[136:56] course I think that's nor
[137:00] done anybody got any questions about
[137:02] Norr I saw some other questions as well
[137:03] but anybody got any more questions about
[137:05] Norr cuz otherwise I think we have done
[137:08] our exploration nor friend yes papa and
[137:11] zal venges incarnate has learned to be
[137:15] level 70 holy we're already level 70
