    Channel Update
    Hi. The WoW/Blizzard community has been shook for the past couple of weeks. People have asked what my plan is going forward.
    I am a person who is very passionate about the art of storytelling/filmmaking and machinima is a great way to explore this hobby that *no* other game can replicate. In WoW I have a giant world and thousands of assets that I can use as my canvas to tell stories that I care a lot about and quite frankly, that is badass. I also feel like a lot of WoW’s stories have not been told in a satisfying, straight forward manner and I want to give these stories the justice they deserve because I think they are phenomenal.
    I’m here to tell the lore in the Warcraft Universe that screams “Warcraft” and that isn’t changing.
    I’ve attached a fundraiser to this video for the RAINN charity which helps victims of sexual assault. This charity was recommended to me by the Blizzard employees who organized the #ActiBlizzWalkout . I will be personally donating $500 and the goal is $2,500. If you share proof that you sent a $10+ donation to me on Twitter I will put your name at the end of the next lore video. 100% of the proceeds goes to the organization so throw in a few dollars to help create a positive change. Thank you for your support and patience.
    TL;DR ua-cam.com/video/lF7M0FISH5Y/v-deo.html
    EDIT - I changed the title of this video. You didn't notice 🤫
    - For clarification, a lot of these events don't line up with the "Rise of the Horde" novel because parts of it are retconned in the Chronicle books.

    • @jsc1jake512
      @jsc1jake512 3 роки тому +23

      The Mag'har Orc questline is honestly one of the best pre-unlock allied race quest chains. Sure the expansion sucked but this was an interesting bit of lore and informs us that no, it wasn't a happily ever after, I was kinda hoping we would see Grom come to the main timeline but unfortunately not, he and alternate Lantresor defended the Mag'har while they escaped.
      It's also pretty interesting that you get a book at the end of the quest chain that mentions Grom had a son which means there's now an alternate Garrosh.

      With Cho'gall pretty much answering: "Maybe the demons were lying."
      And then he is still suprised, that Sargeras has betrayed him.

Gul'dan raised the Tomb of Sargeras, not to aid the Legion, but to try and consume Sargeras and whatever artifacts laying inside the tomb. That's why the demons destroyed him and turned him into a sentient, demonic lava-lamp. I recommend listening to the Tomb of Sargeras audio drama, where Kil'jaeden confirms all this when talking to AU Gul'dan.

There is so much interesting lore, and a lot of interesting stories to be told - and I hope we can appreciate that in a way that is respectful to everyone that has worked on it over the years, whilst supporting those making their voices heard now. I just hope the company can get their act together so that the lore keeps flowing, but from a safer environment. Fantastic video as always, Plat.

    In my opinion, the draenei have some of the best lore in the franchise with their deep ties with the burning legion. I am so happy you covered this, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED seeing maraad mourn over his sister. It isn't for lore or anything, but just that little scene makes the massacre of the blade wind clan so much more intense and dramatic. Thank you so much for these videos, the effort and time you put into these really show!

    To be fair, once Draenei landed on Draenor it was them or the orcs. In Rise of the Horde, it's noted that all the worlds Velen and company visited were later visited by Kil'jaeden and either exterminated or corrupted added to the Legion and that the Legion will find them eventually,
    So by exterminating the Draenei Kil was satisfied and didn't even bother to add orcs to the Legion since he believed Velen was killed and there was no point (from the book the reason for abandoning the orcs is not noted, I think it's in chronicles that Sargearas told him to leave them dry and desperate for Azeroth invasion)
    Edit: Also Gul'dan in the original version wasn't on the Legions payroll from the start but rather sold out his master Ner'zhul and later the entire orc race when Kil'jaeden decided to replace Ner'zhul as his puppet (which feels way more evil and fitting for the meanie he became than just "resentful cripple who wanted vengeance")

      True, OT Gul was better written but blizz loves to change the lore over and over again and with the mediocre writers they now have it's always for the worse.

      @Astroga159 3 роки тому +4

      @@GrandAdmThrawn I always liked the original Gul'dan more than the Draenor one. and in HoTS the IS a difference: OT Gul'dan is frail but not a cripple while ALT one is a cripple and resentful of everyone. I pick the OT Gul'dan as the original and the alternate one as the Draenor one.
      Chronicles just were focused on the story and characters were used as to prop up the story rather than used established characters to tell it (everything Gul'dan did COULD have been cannon after he sold out Ner'zhul, to further drive the orcs to kill Draenei, even softies like Durotan and any clan hesitant)
