That only applies to his friend.
He made everything else bad happen at winter.
You can't be the victim AND perpetrator..not all at once. Individually maybe but not singularly.
Seems to be something ppl are confused with.
Oh gosh what a foreshadowing quote
I've just watched this in one sitting from start to finish. Never seen so much love and attention to detail put into the Warcraft lore. You have my utmost respect sir. You deserve the title "The Lorekeeper". I cannot thank you enough for making this.
Want to see Blizzard make a Billion Dollars? Get a movie director to listen to this - then translate it on to the screen. It would definitely have to be split into two films but...THIS is your Warcraft movie right here!
sadly blizzard already fucked themselves. I personally like the movie, but the more i think about it, the more i think this is a 1 and done film. Too much deviation from lore, story is everywhere. Outside of a typical fan this will not draw much attention. Go figure, blizzard dropped the ball AGAIN.
They could not possibly fit the whole lore into the movie...They had to cut some things out and adjust. Medivh's death and how Gul'dan got his powers from Kil'jaeden alone would need half an hour. They want to make three movies for the Warcraft games, not three movies for each game.
Exactly. He is the only character that was so perfectly built.
Exactly without Ner'Zhul the story of Lich King makes no sense. Sure they're going to go for it but it will be a shadow of what it could have been. This movie was amazing, the warcraft one was alright for non fans.
I think Ner'Zhul will show up on the next movie, together with his story on more detail. I definitely doubt it would be possible to fit warcraft 3 on even 2 movies. Even less warcraft 1 2 3 one movie each.
I'm gonna be honest here. The storyline and the way you tell it are so phenomenal, that I have actually chosen to watch this again instead of some redundant bs on Netflix. You are a beast of a narrator and as MrMike11233 said, Blizzard could make millions off of this nearly perfect storyline... Instead of their latest "Don't you guys have phones?" Thank you Nobbel
All about the money... Apparently the mobile gaming market is juicier than pleasing the original fan base.
i love the difference between jaina and Sylvanna's reaction to their troops being killed. "no! you monster! and "pathetic weaklings"
Just sat here 3 hours straight and watched it all through. Great work i have to say, my deep respect for that.
I listen to his video and do my house work.

Same here
Most of people focus on Arthas when Lich King is being discussed. But i feel like forgetting about Nerzhul is a huge mistake. He got definately the worst part of the whole debacle. Got tricket, backstabbed, torturet, entombed as an armor, betrayed again and finally, basically erased from existence itself. And the worst part is, most in-lore characters are not even aware of how important he was. They remember Guldan and Arthas, so 2 of his apprentices/sidekicks... but Ner'zhul is mostly forgotten.
And all he wanted in the end is saving his people and when he realised what he has done, basically kicking the asses of beings that made him do it.
It's so sad to because Ner'zhul was actually a good orc. Loved his people, and got tricked. Got the shit end of the stick for sure.
@@longdong3972 did what all orcs do. Get tricked like an idiot
He wasnt erased, isnt he in maw?
I laughted so hard at 2:36:00 when Laina yelled "NOOO", then we switched to Sylvanas " Pathetic weaklings" hahahah
2:39:37 Jaina - "I could not save them..." then here's Sylvanas "I thought he'd never shut up" Omg lol #TeamSylvanas

Indeed! We do! :)
+Josh Geller
+Nobbel87 hey Nobbe i have a theory. in Legion we get to know that Vol'jin is gone. i think that Sylvanas had some thing to do with it. do to that in sige of ogrimmar she says that she will never take orders from a Troll and that it is time to test him. it is only a theory but i think it is a good one.
+rax raven i think that would be a cool and interesting plot twist but with the whole legion invasion i wouldn't really think that would happen
+Aiden Rogers true but it would still be cool.
wow did i watch them for 3 hours... They must been very entertaining, i didnt understand how time passed! Ty Nobbel great vid.
WoWs got some good lore man.
ir was becaous of dri great accent treat Nobbel has.
The section with Arthas and Jaina was beautifully narrated
I always come back to this video when I feel nostalgia about Wrath of the Lich King. Now with the announcement of WotLK Classic, I came here once more. Thanks Nobbel ;)
same here!!
same here!! I'm on the Atiesh server Alliance
This is definitely the most attentive and strongest story telling experience blizzard released and I think that’s why so many people have good memories associated with Warcraft 3 and Wrath of the Lich King expansion
I remember getting WC3+expansion for Christmas... Led to a decade of obsessive game play. Great times
It’s either arthas or illidan, definitely blizz writers favorite characters

That being said amazing video. Really cool. Must have taken a shit load of work.
3 years late but cmon, this is therapy
If you ask me. After Bolvar said "Never return" that would have been a great ending to the warcraft storyline.
Cataclysm would have been a better end if it actually crippled the factions. Orgrimmar got BIGGER after the cataclysm, thunder bluff didnt seem that different, i dont think silvermoon was even touched, and the undercity was left intact. I dont play alliance, but i think the only change i remember is stormwind harbor. It seemed like the cataclysm made the factions way stronger, since they all started to start some big wars. I would have liked to see orgrimmar in ashes, with a volcano rising from its center, and the horde having to turn to crossroads into their new main city or something. seeing less faction bases would have been nice too, like in vanilla. In vanilla when you were a horde, going to the southern EK felt awesome. There were almost no bases for horde, Kargath, flamecrest, stonard, and gromgol, with a few neutral points. You felt like how the horde was supposed to be, small and spread apart, but somehow survivng in places they honestly had no real chance to survive in. Like seriously, seeing horde bases in badlands/burning steppes feels like it shouldn't happen, the dwarves capital is just north of them and the human capital is just south of them.
the Orcs were in the badlands before, the old Horde, so some of that stuff was left over from the Second War
Dingo dyno
Thats all fine and dandy, but most of the bases are currently incredibly isolated and easy to invade. Kargath is completely surrounded by alliance, has no possible path to recieve reinforcements, and is just completely undefendable. I understand why it was there, but it shouldn't still be there now.
Sdogofdoom maybe they just dont want to invade it?
Dingo dyno
Because that makes complete tactical sense.
Devestating how they utterly destroyed all this magnificent lore.
Evil Can't Create, Only Corrupt
Watched this video years ago, came here today to Say this !
Indeed. All because Blizzard are cucks and their precious Sylvanas must be more important despite her story being utter garbage full of nothing but plot armor.
WOTLK destroyed its own lore. They turned Arthas into a fucking clown.

Legion felt a lot like avengers endgame, because sargeras and the legion is kinda the reason for 99% of the events that happened in war craft history

do the draenai not know how to land a ship? They seem to crash into whatever planet they go to.
Dumb space goats
They didn't really know TBH. The ships were Naaru vessels. The Draenei didn't invent them.
it need a lot power of the light. And when the Naaru are weak they only safe power for EXIT rush.

Thanks for these videos man
I remember playing through the story of Warcraft 3 and the Frozen Throne. Arthas' betrayal and subsequent downfall was one hell of a ride! Fantastically written story and characters.
It took me a long time and plenty of backtracking but I finally finished this story . Thank u so much for making this
Should have named that horse Unobtainable
Lmao😂
My every week frustration
Arthas is the Anikin Skywalker of WoW. Change my mind.
he's not. Boom just changed your mind
I wanted to watch for ten minutes but that quickly turned to three hours
Watching in 2021 for the first time. About halfway through right now and I can't thank you enough. Amazing video.
When you know this story, you understand the tragedy behind "The Wrath of the Lich King" trailer.
My favorite part about when Arthas was climbing the spire to claim the armor of the Lich King, was that all of his flashbacks were ONLY the things that happened before he claimed Frostmourne. Not only is it the last shreds of himself ringing in his ears, it's also a reminder of what he had done even before his soul was stolen away to the blade, that, he wasn't just turned dark because of a weapon, but by his own choices.
True those are his choices, but he was forced into impossible ones one after another. I'm not saying his fall isn't of his own doing but it's still more nuanced than that IMO, ever since he was forced to put Invincible down as a child Arthas was always very emotionally weak, he was introduced to the concepts of guilt, loss and death far faster than most of us were. Mal'ganis & Ner'zhul used that against him, they're the ones who put him in the Stratholme situation and forced his hand, not to mention the two people he trusted most turned their backs on him at the time he needed them most. Although it's understandable from their point of view from Arthas' it still feels like betrayal, regardless of the reasoning behind it they did abandon him.
After that it's just a never ending spiral, his desire for vengeance at any and all costs is understandable I think, and his dealing with the mercenaries in Northrend was, while insanely ruthless and brutal, necessary in his eyes. That's indeed a choice he made himself, but I think we have to remember at that point he "lost" his would-be lover, his mentor and most recently even his father in a way, who in their right mind would want to lose anymore after that ? I believe in his mind vengeance was all he had left, he certainly wasn't gonna let random mercenaries get in the way of that.
@@dreiz5403 thats a good point, and i suppose it feeds into my initial point, in that, he did lose his soul before frostmourne, just, in a different way.
@@cosmicfails2053 Yes I think so, but I also believe he could still be saved until the moment he picked Frostmourne up, he was pretty warped but not irredeemable just yet, in short his soul was "only" halfway lost at that point.
Plus there's no way in hell Uther and/or Jaina would've let him take it upon hearing what Muradin said about it being cursed had they been here (assuming they even reached it) and I don't think he reached the point where he was psychologically able to kill them if they got in his way yet, nevermind the fight itself.
He lacked the power to get through the undeads and kill Mal'ganis on his own and that's one of the reasons he seeked it out in the first place, but it could've been a very different story with them by his side.
Also even without the whole "vengeance" thing it's a fact that Mal'ganis was believed to be behind the Scourge at the time, it seems kind of weird to me that the kingdom of Lordaeron as a whole - aside from Arthas - didn't really act upon him walking away pretty much unscathed and even tried to recall the prince when he gave chase. IMO his actions alone are pretty good arguments in favor of "kill this very obvious danger to our kingdom" if only to preserve themselves from future nefarious plans of his design. It's like Arthas is the only one concerned with the wellbeing of his kingdom and its citizens, certainly doesn't help him getting over his mental breakdown.
Actually it touched on how Arthas was no more much prior to the symbiosis. Parasite being what it is.

As a horse owner, Invicible's demise is both heartbreaking and infuriating. All good horseman know not to gallop a horse in inclement weather.
It's realistic though. A cocky young prince could absolutely think he's got it, like nothing could touch him. Even normal kids that age can end up feeling that way and doing stupid stuff.

A good movie about the lich king would be tales of the past. Would have to change some stuff around since that came out before WotLK but it's solid work.

You've always had one of my favorite channels on UA-cam. Great work putting this video and story all together. This and your Sylvanas lore video are my favorites of yours. Keep up the great job.
I absolutely loved that you included facts from the official novel, like i.e. in the end when he sleeps and dreams and then kill the last mercy in himself AND the lich king aka ner´zhul, becoming the master of his own...thats something most people who retell the lore miss.
This was fantastic man , what a ride! Thank you for this masterpiece.
im hoping that if the warcraft movie is a success, they will eventually make a real movie about the lich king, it would be so epic to see that!
The Warcraft movie was really good. Amazing man.
It was...decent..
Sins Twinz it is decent for those who don't know very well the lore, sure, the movie skipped some details but thats okay when you are making a movie, there is a budget and all that stuff
ya I been thinking about that
A game of thrones esque tv show would be far better.
Only if Blizzard themselves have watched this before making Shadowlands expansion, the amount of retconned lore is unbearable in this expansion.
Incredible work. Thanks so much! I'm not a WOW player, but after this video I'm even more excited for Hearthstone's Knights of the Frozen Tyrone!

Arthas: I see ... only ... pandas, vulpera, corruption gear and void elves.

@@ameralkhateeb5038 oh yeah watching through this video and seeing all the stuff I haven't seen in years like uthers soul telling you where to kill him lol. My main question out of this entire thing is how the hell does a 2nd tier legion boss have the key to the afterlife and plan use it to prepare a single world for invasion? Like the whole thing is weird and all the villains through out wow in the first place fot together so weird.
Like the old gods living in azeroth to the legion which I equate to little more than angry aliens under the thumb of an angry Astral "god" and the titans. Now we are dealing with a place that no matter what you are you die thats where you go and beings who I have no idea where they even stand on the scale of power at this point and I have no idea whats going on anymore honestly lol.
But I just hit 60 today. I came back after I quit when cata came out just to see what was up so far I'm having fun. Not a big fan of the rng gear upgrades or the esentially item level is all that matters until you get into higher end stuff. But I'll save my full judgements once I experience more of the end game as it is now.
@@Cinomod6066 the system has changed gear with higher item level is better period, before you looked at stats and compared them . And sometimes you would stack one stat so much, now it's just item level and that's it. No resilience no hit rating nothing but item level.
@@ameralkhateeb5038 yeah and thats kinda sad honestly. I did run into one situation while I was leveling where I got a new piece of gear and the basic stats went up by like 1 point each but I was losing like 40 mastery so I didn't really want to switch but the lfg wouldn't let me que unless I was at I think 80 il at the time and I just said screw it and put the new one on so I could go and I felt dirty doing that lol. I know there are still like certain stat priorities you should go for but gone are the days of looking up what dungeon or raid drops what certain items and hoping they drop.
Sadly thats the one thing I'm not a fan of the variants of the same piece of gear. And not just heroic or 25 man and 10 man but things having multiple levels of how good the stats are on it I feel like I'm playing an arpg at this point just grinding to get that one little bit of good rolls on an item.
Saving this shit for later. Gonna watch like a movie!
more like a documentary! :D
That intro was so wholesome pleasant. Never lose the Love you have for others and you will find yourself just as loved in turn.
tyvm for your content @Nobbel87 and yes i really did enjoy the story thnx tons for taking the epic time to put this together. 11/10 boss o7
An karanir thanagor, mor ok angalor...
as someone who is jumping on the wow bandwagon at 31 years of age and trying to catch up.. this is awesome and i appreciate the work that went into this. if you ever write a warcraft book i'll buy it.
also, you look at the value the film industry are getting out of comics these days, warcraft lore would make a thousand films!
if only arthas didnt take frostmourne for veangence.. how happy wow players could've been :((( farewell arthas my best character of all time in wow
The narration is absolutely astounding and such addictive listening. Warcraft lore is steeped in love, grief, and sorrow as well as all the power struggles, magic and incredible battles. But, these retellings breathe new life into the world of Azeroth. I wish I had found these videos earlier, but glad I've discovered them now.
i dont know if youll see this nobbel, but the way you delivered the story of invincible's death was incredible, its already an incredibly well written scene, but you took it to a new level. im honestly crying right now
Updated Lore: Jailor did it.
still cant undrstand how an orc transformed into a badass armor.
U see, Mr. Blizz Nerfbat McGee needed a new antagonist, but wait there's more, what if there was an antagonist that doubled up as clothing?, That sounded good to Mr. Blizzy and he decided to spend millions making the most respected and coolest set of clothes ever, oh yeah and there was also a plague and millions of deaths and an epic citadel and stuff, but honestly the clothes th
interesting what about NewsCenter has briefly distrust Philippines in aftermath of EDSA (War of the Spider).
The armour was made for ner'zul by a smith from the Shadowlands and presumably his spirit inhabited it by the time Arthas showed up.
@@zeroeleven6551 imagine if we could talk to the smith in the new expansion and ask him to make us armor of the highest quality ...and then he'd give us a level 10 chestpiece for 100g because you know how blizzard is
Great video. I'm almost half way through. An interesting point I think about Stratholme is that we, as the players know that what he did was absolutely necessary. Because the Infinite Dragonflight tries to interrupt this sequence of events to ultimately destroy all life on Azeroth, we know that Arthas was forced into this terrible choice, and that he was right in what it did, even though it damned him. If he had not purged the city, the plague would have spread uncontrollably, and the Alliance of Lordaeron would have been wiped out. This would have weakened the remaining races to the point of being unable to defend themselves later on. The Infinite Flight's interference is proof of this.
Here i find my self once again, a nice story to get me ready for classic
I've said it many times in my life and I will say it again: 'Wrath of the Lich King' was and always will be the best expansion. Arguably the funnest time in my life was when I got into this expansion. I don't have anywhere near as fun playing the game nowadays.
I'm curious about the Revenant guarding Frostmourne. Was it a test of the Lich King, or was it telling the truth in 'trying to protect you from it'.
I think that it was the truth. Idk, maybe it's something about The Revenant's voice acting, but it sounds like he really meant what he was saying.
Hi I know this video is pretty old but I'm so happy I found it! My bf is a biiiig fan of wow and I like to play with him time to time but I level up super slow and I don't even know the basics about the world and its important characters. I would love to chat with him about it sometimes and this video is just briliant! Thank you so much for explaining everything ❤️
any decent bf would, you know... show and tell you?
@@henkhenkste6076 @Henk Henkste you know... maybe, she ugh, just maybe... wants to surprise him.
Don't just assume someone is good or bad.
You got mental issues
@@absolutelyfookinnobody2843 yeah helping someone out is soooo deranged right
2022 arthas a whisp
The invincible plot is an example of why this game is still held to such a high standard. Even the ruthless, mass murdering, literal king of the dead was once just a boy with a horse who experienced loss and never wanted to do so again.
Nobbel! Thank you so much for this! It was amazing! I wish they would get you to make a movie cause you are amazing dude!
Just imagine when this gets turned into a feature length film ;) Arthas storyarc is the best in the whole Warcraft universe and NEEDS to be a movie already.
Needs to be more then one honestly
Second to Illidan.
Part One and Two could be about Ner'zhul and his fall from grace, the slaughtering of the Draenei, the opening of the Dark Portal, the Alliance vs Horde, Kil'Jaedan and his punishment for Ner'zhul, etc.
Part Three could be the story of Arthas' younger years, training with Muradin, his acceptance as a paladin, the death of Invincible, the purging of Stratholme, Arthas' trip to Northrend and acquisition of Frostmourne, and his descent into madness.
Part Four could be about Arthas being a death knight and his dealings with the Legion. The murder of his father and destruction of Lordaeron. His battle with Uther, his battle for the Sunwell and him raising Sylvanas as a Banshee. Everything else up to him awakening as the Lich King on the Frozen Throne.
Part Five could be about the things the Lich King does. The battles in Northrend, The Wrathgate, The siege of Icecrown, and his defeat at the hands of Tirion Fordring. His final moment with the ghost of his father. Bolvar taking the burden as the jailer of the dead could be the end.
I'm from the future. They almost did a decent movie 😂 😂
Listening to this and Mining for 3 hours is awesome actually. You learn so much and get like 10k-ish gold
He said Kil'jaeden was a demon lord of the burning legion... Well isn't he eredar? So he's like ere.... OH NO! YOU FACE JARAXXUS, YOU FACE JARAXXUS, EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION!
Thank you for this video. It has kept me wildly entertained for the past few days. You are awesome.
Thank you for making all of this dude, It really is amazing to listen to your story while i work :)
Dude holy shit that was amazing. Best 3h of my life since a long time. I wish i allready played at Wotlk ...
Heldojin it’s not too late to play wotlk. Check out warmane :)
This needs a very, very miniscule update
"Uh yeah dudes he's been yeeted into the maw by 🅱️uther"
Me after over 3 hours: “Is it over???... at long last.“
I got 1 hour in and didn’t even realize how relaxing this is and passed out
Notice that at ~ 2:40:00 Uther didn't tell Jaina about "there must always be a lich king" and "the scourge must be controlled or will destroy the world" but he told Sylvanas.
Seemed like a pretty relevant information, I am not sure what I am reading about this situation :D
I can't tell what's more passionate. Jaina and Arthas' relation ship or Nobbel's voice in this video.
I hope the Warcraft movie will be a success, at least in the box office, so that Arthas might get a movie. Just take the events from Warcraft 3, the books and Wrath of the Lich King, etc. I'd watch the hell out of that.
TheStargateNerd
And then everyone will cry when Invincible dies
I hope blizzard splits up Warcraft III movie so they can cover everything well
I can't believe I actually watched the entire 3h 15m in one go. Even though I knew chunks of story here and there, hearing you narrate the actual writing, as it was in the books had me in chills. I'm actually going to buy the Arthas book now. Thank you Nobbel 💜 you're a core part of my love for World of Warcraft. Even when I feel a lack of content in-game, I can always come here to get more!
If I ever win the Billion Dollar Lotto, here is what I am doing:
I will setting aside 500mil and go straight to blizzard to make a movie trilogy. The trilogy will be the entire Lich King saga with no actual actors, Ready Player One style, and finally have the full cinematic WoW movie we all be hoping for. Beginning with the events in Warcraft III and leading to the fall of The Lich King.
Part 1: The origin of Arthus and the events leading up to him becoming The Lich King
Part 2: Is the Lich King ruling and ending in similar fashion as Infinity War where the Lich King seemly wins
Part 3: Will contain the collaboration of factions and races to end The Lich Kings reign
With such a lore it must be done to the absolute fullest. I would not care if I never made a single cent as profit, it's the trilogy we all deserve.
One can hope and dream, right?
