The singer is Jaina's voice actress Laura Bailey. She is amazing.
Yes she is.
Games and Nonsense was a little flat tbh
She’s also Serah from FF13 LOL
I knew Laura was her voice i had no idea she sang this song.
It is a folk song about her. The people of Kul Tiras started singing it after Jaina left her father to his faith in the third war.
The ship she raised is her fathers.
Yeah, you definitely get the feel for what BfA will be like for Alliance. The beta had that kind of nautical / pirate theme and I loved it. I can't wait to see how much we get to explore with her story and what will happen to the Alliance factions.
Its a sea shanty more specifically
Welp, was going to comment exactly that ! Exactly that. And gosh, even as a Horde player and being 100% on the Horde side (More Saurfang than Sylvanas tho...), this song gave me goosebumps, it was so fcking great
Just wait,zandalari incoming ;) For da Horde !
Hethen - Fucking DITTO
That was Admiral Daelin's Flagship, the Proudmoore. Fitting, since his ghost led her to it
That and it looks perfect condition, and without a captian it could have simply sank from a wave pulling it under, as there is no visible damage on it.
I wonder if her father's ghost will appear at all in WoW... I kind of think he might... Could potentially even be made into a raid boss which I think would be cool... Just one of those crazed characters who sees everyone as an enemy or is maybe forced to serve Azshara or something... Perhaps he maybe struck a deal with Azshara kinda like Azshara made with the Legion and was just misled thinking he'd just get to kill more orcs... Maybe he becomes like Davy Jones from Pirates of The Carribean xD Daelin "Jones" Proudmoore...
Or he maybe could just be involved with some questline for the Alliance... Or alternatively, maybe the ghost helps rescue the day with some other raid boss...
There's a lot of potential there and it's not like ghostly sailors don't exist in multiple zones in WoW...
It's the ship you take to kultiras from the docks of stormwind. When you board the ship it is still covered in moss. I think the ship and jaina will make another appearance in one of the scenario videos yet unseen
Funny how these long time wow players didn't know Jaina's storyline. "So she just raised that sunken ship!" Pffft.
Poy Payaso Lots of players are only into WoW for the gameplay and really don't pay attention to the lore. And there's nothing really wrong with that.
Thats Jaina's VA Laura singing.
Holly Chaisson Laura Bailey?
yea, i couldnt remember her full name. just know its Laura something from the video
Holly Chaisson awesome! Wondered where I recognised it from
More like Laura Baeley, amirite?
...she's married and gave birth to her 1st child a little over 2 weeks ago
I imagine that is a song that was written by the Kul'tiran's after the end of Warcraft III The Frozen Throne where all the events around Theramore happened, since technically Jaina did commit treason and could possibly be considered responsible for Patricide as she let Rexar and his party into Theramore to kill her father because he refused to even consider that the Horde could be peaceful. With how the story is headed... he'd be happy that Jaina is on the Warpath in his ship.
Patricide likely, but is it really treason if she formed her own city. If anything Daelin forcibly occupied another nation.
Wouldn't that mean HE committed treason??
I love the imagery of Daelin as Charon, the ferryman of the underworld in greek mythology. Right down to paying the toll to his outstretched hand
Its most likely meant to be none other than Daelins flagship. The kul tiran navies flagship. Likely scuttled after the battle of theramore when daelin fell
It is hes Flag schip its called The proudmore
Charon! That's the Ferryman I couldn't think of the name. Thank you that his been bugging me.
Amazing yeah, the comparison to Charon... Though that must have been his own necklace, she retrieved it for him I suppose, but I still don't understand how she has that connection to ghosts and the Undead (a lot like Arthas I supose!)
OMG everyone says the same!!! It's not Charon!!! Charon led you to the other side, TO YOUR ETERNAL REST. HE IS LEADING HER TO FUCKING WAR!!! What rest is there?!
eternal rest maybe not if you were a shitty dude and were tortured for the rest of eternity not my kind of rest lol but you do you
"Beware, beware the Daughter of the Sea."
"Beware," I heard him cry.
His words carried upon the ocean breeze,
As he sank beneath the tide.
Those blood-soaked shores of Kalimdor,
Where sailors fought and died.
The admiral fell at Theramore,
because she left his side.
Why this? Why this oh Daughter of the Sea?
Why this? Did you forget your seaside days?
Always the pride of our nation's eyes,
How could she go astray?
When she did flee across the ocean deep,
the admiral followed west.
What else but sail to save a daughter's life,
and pray she still drew breath?
But there he found on the Western shores,
Enemies 'on the rise!
But when he faced those savage foes
His daughter stood aside.
Buried deep beneath the waves,
Betrayed by family.
To his nation, with his last breath, cried,
"Beware the Daughter of the Sea."
Fel Master mvp 👆
I am pretty sure the exact line was
''But when he faced those savage Horde''
might be wrong tho, thanks anyway
Y remember he said FOR LOTHAR!!!!
This story arch has alot to do with the warcraft 3 story of her father admiral proudmore imo. Her father spent his life hunting down orcs and other "untrustworthy non humans" and jaina had sided with thrall against him trying to see the good in the newly founded horde. Having never understood his deep and biased hatred of the orcs she allied herself with thrall and defeated her father. However after the many events in the world of warcraft most especially the betrayal against theramore she is slowly become her father. A manifestation of Human vengeance against the horde. And that symbol was her father's symbol, the anchor. I believe that boat may have been her fathers?
Technically the anchor is the symbol of Kul Tiras, since he was the Lord Admiral
The anchor is the symbol of Kul'Tiras, but I think it's also the Proudmoore family crest?
Lynneiah it is as for the schip it Whas the Flag schip of the Kul Tiran navy The Proudmoore it sunk shortly after the events of the founding of Durotan campaign in warcraft 3
That nonsense. She knew why her father hated the Horde. He hated them because he saw the destruction of SW in the second war and the Horde killing thousands over thousands of civilians, including his own son. I think you mixed up Dealin Proudmoore with Garithos.
The only mistake he made was not being able to look past his hatred for the Orcs (But in the end he was right since the Horde nukes Theramore).
JoJo is not an anime Excuse me ma lady, he didn’t hate the orcs only because they killed he’s son. He hated them since they killed over 10000 humans and murdered innocents. But the death of he’s son did also have a small part to play Ofc. Nearly crying after I keep listening to this song :-:
The song is what's called a Lament, done in the style of a sea shanty. It's fantastic in how it fits what she's doing. The ghosts of those lost because of her decision tormenting her as she goes to raise her father's ship.
From the perspective of the Horde, Daelin was an old racist who refused to leave them alone after they'd moved across the world and started a new life, and killing him was a necessary evil to preserve the peace.
From the perspective of the Kul Tirans, he was a national hero who went to rescue his daughter and countrymen from the group that had once invaded his world and still went by the same name, with a similar command structure, and his death was martyrdom and a tragedy their country has never recovered from.
War, ladies and gentlemen.
That is a good point.
I think the singer is actually the voice actress for Jaina! Which is Laura Bailey! I'm so stoked for Azshara's video! Hopefully we get to see Tyrande in it!
R Espinosa Going to be honest, after her botching recruitment in Legion, the less we see of Tyrande this expansion, the happier I'll be.
AndrewChalk88
And the more of Jaina we see the happier I'll be
As many have pointed out, that was Admiral Daelin Proudmoore's flagship. The whole song talks about when the Horde, lead by Rexxar, Vol'jin and Chen Stormsout, attacked them in the horde campaign in WC3: the Frozen Throne. Jaina was aligned with the Horde during that scenario.
y.i.k.e.s.
In short, she aided Rexxar, Vol'jin and Chen take out her own father. Admiral Proudmore insisted on continuing the conflict against Thrall's new horde, but Jaine knew that with Thrall at the helm things could be good, so to avoid further blodshed and war she chose to stand aside and let Thrall's Champions take out her dad.
This video is about her reflecting on her past choices and now seeing all that has happened because of them. This is her guilt talking. The spectre paddling her boat is her father, finally finding "peace" as she finally comes to the same conclusion as he did so long ago; the Horde needs to die, no matter who's in charge.
Well Both Thrall and Jain was different ppl back then who always strived for peace, but as we know, war changed them both. Its a sad story indeed.
Aye, indeed. Im not saying Jaine was wrong back then, i think she did the right thing, but noone could foresee all the events that brought her to were she is now, both in mind and body.
well she was in Thrall side but she never fought against her father. she just step aside and only ask for Thrall to spare her men's life.
Bring it Jaina. Bring it with all your fire and glory. Time to balance the books.
But she is a Frost mage :O kappa
H SP Didn't you hear? She went to her trainer and duel-spec'ed. (Funny story: took her 8 tries to get her Mage Tower skin.)
What a low mage
it's time to even the scales... oh wait
FOR THE HORDE!!!!!!!!
The ship she raised is Admiral Daelin Proudmoore's flagship.
Jaina be goin' huntin'!
The image of Jaina paying the ferryman to take her to her new life with the symbol of Theramor is heartbreaking and thats just the first minute.
That singer is her voice actress, Laura Bailey. The necklace and ship were both her fathers. She wanted peace with the Horde but her father tried to convince her of her naivety and for her to join him for protecting the Alliance from the old Horde. This comic takes place after her novel and the destruction of Theramore.
Thats her fathers ship, and i think the song is the shanty the kul tirans sing, with her extra bit on the end
in the End she singing message from old god. "Beware beware the daughter of the sea beware beware of me"
If they kill off Jaina at any point in the game I am never playing WoW again
The end certainly makes her seem villainous.
Mystic Or resolved.
Agreed. Same with Sylvanas.
She raised a sunken ship like a necromancer.
Pop Pop May Jaina find peace in life. And Ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner find the rest of the heroic in honorable death (eventually.)
Her father was killed by rexxor, and that was her father's ship. Her father dispised the horde but she obviously tried to be a diplamate.
The Proudmoore, Captained by Admiral Proudmoore, Jaina's Father. He was defeated by Thrall and Rexxar when Admiral Daelin Proudmoore tried to take on the horde using their own agenda. He warned her. That's why the song is about him falling at Theramore and the ghost leading her to the ship is actually her father. Pretty awesome in my opinion. Touching as well.
Frickin Laura Bailey man
I think the term you're looking for to describe the song is "sea shanty." It's absolutely amazing ;~;
What's even more impressive is that you will be able to see this ship ingame in Stormwind Harbor once BFA goes live..... and yes its... that... damn... big.
She picks up her father's pendant to pay the boatman to cross the river Styx. They follow the trail of spirits to bring them to the final resting place of the boat, which explains why they were following the ghostship, the last voyage of his boat. That was all probably in her hear, but in a game with Warlocks and Death Knights and Necromancers you always have to really wonder what is and isnt happening. But the part where she raises her father's ship is real and it will come into play later in the story.
It was the actual voice actor of Jaina that sang it. Soooo amazing vocals o.0
The song and artwork were awesome in this. I'm going to assume it's her father's ship as well. Looks like she's ready to kick butt this expansion. Can't wait!!!
Jaina has now decided everything was on her. She is completely overcome with grief and rage I think. And I now see her as the MOST dangerous person in Warcraft .
Jaina's voice actress (Laura Bailey) sang this song! So pretty.
The singer was Jaina’s VA. Laura Bailey is a goddamn legend.
Thrall and Garoshs father was once Jainas comrades and allys in war... But her father did not accept it and went to war with the horde... He started a huge battle... But when it came to choose sides Jaine stood with Thrall and Hellscream against her father. Later though when Garosh attacked her city she became very anti horde even though Garosh father and Thrall were once her comrades and allys.... So I think the song is about her seeking redemption. Longer story from the golden days of warcraft 3 and a quite awesome one.
One thing you missed there Panzer, The Grim Reaper that was rowing the boat of Jaina is actually Daelin, Her Father. The Skeleton had the exact same unique Mustache style as Daelin.
Short version of the lore: She chose the hope of peace over family. Family died, its been haunting her ever since.. notably when the Horde - at the behest of Garrosh, the man Thrall designated the next Warchief - blew Theramore up.
I can totally see how this type of folk take would form from her people.
By the way, the girl singer is the actual voice actor for Jaina. Also that ship is the ship that you take to Kul Tiras at Stormwind.
Jaina will become her own father, Dailin Proudmoore
There must always be an Admiral
Jaina Proudmoore = Arthas Menethil 2.0.
"Part of the ship part of the crew part of the ship part of the crew"
Foreshadowing when her eyes glow Blue, just like a Death Knight?
LOL
That was her regular voice actress, singing!! @Tradechat
Laura Bailey is a goddess. Hands down my favourite voice actress.
Wormy she’s so talented!
Panzer...The song describes what a lot of Veterans of war feel, when they've made it home when many of their comrades did not. It's called survivor's guilt. Guilt at her siding with the Horde...Guilt at Arthas fall from the Light...Guilt that she survived Theramore when so many that she cared for did not.
Jaina has a surfeit of guilt...some of it rightly so. It is no wonder that the shanty is a haunting melody. The directors, musicians, vocalists, and the visual artists did an extraordinary job of conveying Jaina Proudmoore's emotions.
Just as Anduin Wrynn,after receiving his fathers compass ,went to the broken shore to see where his father fell,Jaina travels to the place of her father's death.And just as Anduin picked up his father's sword,Jaina now has her father's ship.See Pirate Jenny by the great Nina Simone.
I think i remember that the ship of Admiral Proudmoore got under fire and sunk when the orcs got their bloodlust back (while arriving in Kalimdor). The death of Admiral Proudmoore was therefore inflicted because Jaina believed in Peace and turned away so Thrall and the Admiral (yes, I forgot the name) fight until death. That´s why Thrall and Jaina got so well along until the "Theramore Firework Event". - Correct me if somethings wrong.
Hello. There are several hints of what this video is about. (listen to the lyrics carefully).. The necklace around the sword is the same necklace on the back of the ghost ship" her father was wearing the necklace when he died during the first or second war."
During the scene with the red eyed horde, you will notice a character stabbed, that is Jainas' father. She stood by hoping for peace, and be-trade her father as he continue to rage war with the horde; thus she was be-trade and abandoned by her family, after she was blamed for her fathers death.
Jaina. (the daughter of the sea) sailed to raise her fathers ship and hope to be "forgiven" and has accepted she is the daughter of the sea" and she is finally listening to her father..."I'm listening now, father!" That is the ghost of her father standing behind her.
i watched the other Warbringers 1 time each, maybe 2 for Sylvanas but even after almost 3 years, i still come back to Warbringer: Jaina once in a while, the others didn't get even close to as amazing.
Say what you want about the game. But the Blizzard creative team brings their A game ever single time.
Also, all lore from every expansion, comes from Warcraft 3, some from 2, but mainly 3. Even Mists. In warcraft 3, you meet a Panda as a playable hero and talks about his home land.
Jaina's father was an admiral in the Alliance navy. She betrayed him to save the horde and the truce they had. That's her Father's ship that was lost in the battle.
OK Panzer a few answers to your questions:
1 - That is Laura Bailey, the voice actress for Jaina actually singing. (If you want more of her singing play the female boss character with her voice selected in Saint's Row 3&4)
2 - The boatman is the ghost of her father.
3 - Back when Jaina still believed in peace between the Alliance and the Horde she helped Thrall fight against her father who had come to Kalimdor in order to try and wipe out the Horde, which would have sparked another war between the factions. (This story btw comes from the Rexxar RPG campaign from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos)
4 - Jaina did not actively take up arms against her father but she didn't stop Thrall and Rexxar as they led a campaign to stop Proudmoore.
So the basic summation of what we can for sure take away from this is that Jaina is haunted by her past of letting her father die in the futile effort to garner a lasting peace between the Alliance and the Horde. She's haunted by the ghost of her father who had warned her when she was younger that there could never be peace with the Horde, and regrets now not having listened to him and helped him. She's an outcast and a criminal in the eyes of her people, as the song has the line telling his homeland "Beware the Daughter of the Sea" indicating her.
So there you go, hope that helps. A little information for your as you put it ADHD squirrel brain and if you can't retain it, you can always come back here and look it up again. :)
Just for public knowledge: the woman who voices Jaina is Laura Bailey. She is an amazingly talented voice actress and rpg fanatic. She voices Jaina in the game as well as shows off her beautiful singing voice here. If anyone is interested in more of her work, she has a fairly large archive to her credit, not to mention the d&d show called Critical Role on youtube, twitch, and project alpha alongside major talents like her husband Travis Willingham , Marisha Ray, Matthew Mercer, Tailisen Jaffey, Ashley Johnson, and Sam Reigel
in nordick culture and celtic culture, history was recorded in song...this was fricking awesome!!
The ship that Jaina raised was the Kul Tiran flag ship from her father's time. It was his ship.
The Song gave be goosebumps. Chilling but beautiful.
I wish I'd appriciate these times more. Feels so long ago now. Hope you all are doing well.
The daughter of the sea is indeed a folk song sung by the folk of kul'tiras about jaina after she let her father admiral daelin proudmoore die at the hands of thrall and rexxar because she simply stepped aside and even helped. And the ship is most likely a ghost ship like the flying dutchman just without the ghosts, I reckon that in BfA she will have it rebuilt and used as a massive destroyer ship for the alliance fleet. I am a massive lore nerd so I am taking an educated guess, and damnit panser that is not what ADHD is!
That was her father's ship. The song is likely a folk song that the Kul'Tirans sing about her "betraying" her father in Warcraft 3. For me, the video says to me that she has come to terms with her past and how she is viewed and that she regrets the choice she made back then. And that last line means that Jaina is not taking shit for anybody anymore. You get in her way? She will fuck you up. I really hope they play on that in BFA because that would be amazing.
This is what blizzard is missing. We need more lore heavy and emotional moments that make you get chills. It gives you a connection to the world.
The song was a Sea Shanty, my guess is it is one that the people of Kul Tiras. I am pretty sure the Ghost of her father was not there either it was more a symbolic representation of her now acknowledging and listening to everything he said about the horde, everything we saw was her remembering what happened and the song was to explain her backstory.
Watch Nobels video reaction, he explains the lore a bit more why/ what the songs about. He basically explains (not quoting exactly), it's when her dad went to go and attack the Horde she was in line with to take down Archimonde (Mount Hyjal raid), didn't know they were working together and Jaina just stood aside. It's a "folk" song cuz most pirate cultures pass songs around like that, and I got the impression it's "her people" singing it about her. Hope that sheds some light, but yeah Nobel explains it so much better.
The Singers Voice. It's freaking Laura Bailey. The voice of Jaina. It's beautiful.
this video really gives you a deep view on Jaina's tortured psyche as she goes by the theramore ruins and the ghosts of her past she knows its all her fault for not listening to his father's warning. but She is listening now
Blizzard has spent a lot of thought over the details. For example, the figurehead of the raised ship has a depiction of the anchor necklace with the pendant upside down. Jaina the betrayer?
All in all, this is top drawer entertainment, masterfully executed. The Blizzard team should be very proud of this one!
Love you keep up with the nice videos :D.
Im not gonna lie, i cried to this one, Music is so powerful!
the music is an omage to old sea shantys the rythym is perfect and they were meant to tell storys long ago which this one did epicly and hauntingly.
rewatching this for a second time been searching for other reactions and yours is the only real reaction and entertaining reaction everyone else just watches the video without saying or doing anything ur content is top notch
The song is sung by the people of Kul Tiras because she betrayed them..... It's the song about her and it's there because she started to see all the bad desicions she made in her past and she started to embracing the past as a fuel of her wrath againts the Horde for what they did to her and her people. And the ship... it was her father's ship.
Jaina my favourite character in wow. So much to her, and of course voiced by the very talented and gorgeous Laura bailey.
I have to be honest here. If you are making reaction video, be sure to read the backstory, or story that preceded the video.
So there's A LOT of symbolism in this video of Jaina.
First off is the song: The song is made by some of the surviving Kul'Tiran marines after the battle of Tiragarde keep and the sinking of the Kul'tiras navy after Jaina sided with Thrall against her father.
The video is filled with symbols. First we have Jaina picking up her fathers necklace of the Kul'tiras symbol. Which she then gives backs to her father for him to lead her to his ship. That she raises. The video is about Jaina now seeing the horde as her father did.
All throughout the story of Warcraft, Jaina has tried to mediate between the horde and the Alliance, in the hope that they could work together to defeat their common foes. The burning Legion, The Lich King (which happens to be her own first love turned villain, Arthas) and the old gods.
When Garrosh ordered the attack on Theramore, she blamed Garrosh, but her faith in the horde was put into question. When Garrosh ordered the Sunreaves to attack Dalaran and ultimately kill Ronin, her last bit of trust vaporized. She now saw the horde the same way her father did. And we have to remember that her father was a veteran of the second war. Having experienced the horde's unexpected invasion and destruction of Stormwind and the murder of the noble king Llane. He had first hand seen the brutality and merciless behavior of the demon fueled horde. He had no trust of a horde that killed many of his friends and allies. And he was fully expecting the horde to once again return to old form and start rampaging throughout the world. Especially if given time to prepare.
Jaina has now been victim to the same ferocity and underhanded attacks that her father saw. So she honors her father, and his belief that horde can't be trusted, by raising his ship and using it to rally the Kul'tiras navy to fight along side the Alliance to end the horde once and for all.
The female singer is Laura Bailey, Jainas voice actress by the way. She is awesome!
i havent fully watched the video yet but i am just here to say that this happens before jaina shows up in battle for undercity.
and the ship she raised from the water was her fathers.
That was her fathers ship that she raised.
This is awfully similar to how the old gods manipulate people, encouraging hate, sorrow and sadness, eventually leading to madness. (My comment is referring to how Yogg-Saron manipulated Loken in Chronicles V1)
For people who happen to not have sound while watching this: Every time the art hints to an intense sceen insert a line of useless gibberish over the song and whats actually happening. If there was any immersion to begin with destroy it completely by saying "YIKES" or "UHHHHH" every time something happens. Or nothing at all.
The song genre is called "sea shanty". They were songs used by labourers on merchant vessels.
i love the video and the song was absolutely beautiful. i had goosebumps when i heard it for the first time. now i am obsessed with the song and listen to it repeatedly.
I still watch this from time to time, love tradechats reaction, gives me goosebumps tbh
When I first listened to this, I felt so many chills go up my spine o - o
I remember that in Warcraft 3 founding of Durotar campaign Rexxar commented that he had seem the crest on the soldier before, that's because during the second invasion he was with Grom hellscream and fought at the Dark Portal against the alliance forces. The Kul Tiran forces were still loyal member of the alliance back than. I keep forgetting that the characters like Genn and Rexxer and Saurfang are all veterans of the first Orcish invasion. It is natural for them to harbor strong distrust for the other side. Characters like Jaina did not experience first hand the horrors of the first and second war so it was natural for her to want to help preserve the new horde and side with thrall. But eventually as she grew and experienced more wars and betrayals, she became like her father. Even to the point of raising her father's flagship, such a symbol for the revenge of Daelin, and her daughter succeeding his will and war.
The singer is Laura Bailey, Jaina's voice actor. The song is an old sea shanty the citizens of Kul Tiras came up with after Daelin's death.
The sound reminded me of bardic circles in the SCA I've been in. Well done, Blizz, thank you.
Does no one seem to realize that the one singing is Jaina's Voice Actress. All the ones I see no one seems to catch that, also the word is "Shanty" I am pretty sure that was her father's Galleon. Also I am sure that is the ship she crashes into the ruins of Lordaeron.
i noticed Laura's voice instantly, an incredibly talented voice actor
Thought the voice actor was obvious? But yeah she's amazing.
I have been forever a fan of Laura bailey, as she happens to voice almost all of my favourite characters in the blizzard universe and other games, so there is no way I wouldn't recognise her amazing talent of a voice.
Laura also was the reason I am now actively seeking to become a Voice actor, and my dream is to meet her, and have some pointers from her.
Actually this is more of Jaina self reflection. It merely shows through the song and imagery her thoughts about events leading up to and past the loss at Theramore, and the direction she is now headed. Please watch a couple of times, once just to listen to the words of song (again the song is self reflection of what Jaina thinks of herself).
Have to say extremely well done, folk song is old mariner appropriate and still framing animation drives home the impact. As we all expected after the fall of Theramore, this is Jaina statement that if the Alliance doesn't back a war with the Horde, she will do it on her own.
This was a very powerful and well done short, so props to Blizzard for it, but man did it make me sad lol. Just to see a character like Jaina, who's always been badass but was also sweet and always striving for peace when we're first introduced to her, constantly barraged with misfortune until she's turned into this vengeful, sorrowful person we see here. And to see her hold such hatred for the Horde, because while I can't blame her for it, I wish she could still see the good in them and that the destruction of Theremore was Garrosh's doing.
Idk, I get too invested in rich universes, fictional or otherwise xD
Not gonna lie as a huge lore nerd i cried...
I demand blizzard makes shorts like this for every major character!
It’s the Rains of Castamere! Feat. Jaina Proudmoure!
Jaina went all Jedi on that Boat!
I believe the Oars man was the Spirt of her father. For the Alliance!!
It was her father, Admiral Daelin Proudmoore.
yes, u are right, she goes to her father's grave, took his necklace, used to invoke his ghost and tell her where his boat was sink, Then she raises the boat and tell her father, i'm listening now and he dessapears with his necklace.
For the CAKE!
Also it was him but portrayed as Charon the Ferryman of the greek underworld
Blaizeria, Someone likes cake.
Its basically a kultiran folk song. The song isnt directed at the audience but more like an "in-universe" kinda song. I like the Design Choice on that
I wish Tradechat had at least some clue of the lore.... :(
Yeah same... I am cringing over the fact that she doesn't know, but I also understand
That was sung in the form of a sea shanty (a song that is sung in meter also how epic poems such as the Iliad are sung ), sailors sing sea shanty's upon the sea to recount their tales. It was mind blowing. The ferryman was a depiction of Charon who ferry's people into the underworld across the river styx. You have to pay the ferryman to cross the river Styx, Jaina paid with that locket, a symbol of her people's lives whom she betrayed. As a latin buff this literally blew my mind. The imagery was very deep when she rose her father's ship from the ocean and took over as it's captain she is saying she was the one who was wrong, and her father's hatred of the horde was correct all this time, she is coming for the Horde and she is PISSED. Who is she going to tangle with though? Thrall? Rexxar? Sylvanas? .
its a chilling sea shanty , raises her fathers ship a admirals ship (like yoda raising the fighter from the swamp) Magical ,chills and wonderful voice , what a song :)
Definitely had a sea shanty vibe about it. Reminded me of something that fisherman or pirates would sing. Very fitting for the daughter of Kul Tiras. It wouldn't surprise me if that's something they sing about her on her home island thinking she betrayed her father. I absolutely adored it.
I dont know if you did, but if you played Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne orc campaign, Jaina let horde kill her father, because he wouldnt listen to her, to stop attacking them. Last thing he said to her was that one day, she will regret it and realize she should have listened......that's why she said: ""Im listening now...father."
If you know the context for this song....its amazing :D
Its a Kul Tiras sea shanty about her stepping aside as her father faced thralls horde. The oarsman was her fathers spirit and it was his ship she raised.
i'm so glad to hear you have such respect for Jaina because, while i am Alliance, i have the same respect for Sylvanas. So you could say that Jaina is the Alliance's Sylvanas.

it is so good to see that somehow Jaina's been introspective enough to realize that maybe her father's death was more her fault than the horde's. The guilt she feels at leaving him is evident in the beginning of the song. However, i'm no Loremaster, that would be my nephew, but that is my take on the song. Though the warning at the end is clear. Beware, beware ...of me! i just don't know who the warning is for. The horde? someone specific? IDK
That necklace belonged to Admiral Daelin Proudmoore. That was his sword also I believe. That song is a song created by the Kul Tirans about Jaina betraying her father...it is meant to be derogatory towards her.
For context, it seems those are the ruins of Theramore at the begining. The ghost seems to be Jaina's father, Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, former ruler of Kul'Tiras, which died at the hand of the Horde led by Rexxar during the Third War. He had a strong hate for the orcs, fueled by the death of his son Derek at the hands of the dragon raiders. Jaina being a peace lover back then, allied with the orcs against her own father, convinced that his hate and need for revenge would only lead to more needless deaths.
Jaina is a really great character. I still remember all the help she gave the horde during a time when they had few allies in their new home.
And now she regrets it deeply, and I don't really blame her.
Jaina is the one who sings this, it's beautiful.
Think of it as a nautical vision quest, she was dealing with her inner demons and all the crap she just stood aside and let happen and the ship at the end was the end of her vision and putting us back into reality and seeing her as a new Jaina that is ready to fight she isn’t afraid anymore.
The ship she raises is the one you ride in Kul'Tiras on
I wonder what would happen if two Jainas, before and after Theramore events, met each other.
They are so different, as if they are direct opposites of each other. Pretty much like Arthas and The Lich King .-.
Over on the World of Warcraft forums, people are saying Jaina has a connection to the dead thanks to her prior relationship with Arthas.
That being said, if Blizzard is planning to turn Jaina into the Lich Queen, I got some news...Hearthstone already tried that experiment, and it ended with Ben Brode's resignation.
