- It's been five years since we covered the complete story of Warcraft. Since that time we've had the warcraft chronicles to clean up some of the lore.

Plenty of reason to honor your many requests and make an updated version... I really hope you'll enjoy the video!

My wife just started playing wow but felt so lost with all the lore. I was at a loss thinking "how the heck am I going to explain WoW lore to her?it's so much" then I remembered, 'duh, this isn't my problem, let Nobbel deal with it' she loves your videos and says you have a great narrator voice. For the hours of entertainment you have given me, and the hours you will give her, thank you for your hard work.
I'm literally here for the same reason. Wife started playing haha
Lawful good Wife Guys
@@DreadnThis i’m building my pc shortly and super excited to get into wow for the first time. should i watch the lore first? or get the fresh 0 knowledge playing experience?
@chansey Having the benefit of knowing how the game plays already myself, I would watch the lore if you find it interesting.
The current state of WoW has you leveling incredibly fast. The amount of lore you'll experience while leveling naturally is drops in a bucket that could fill a pool before the game literally forces you into current content ie Dragonflight.
If you are making a fresh account, 0% of played, it's going to start your new characters off in what is Battle for Azeroth content. Once you reach I believe lvl 60 an NPC named Chromie will allow you timewalk on new characters. Timewalking makes the expansion of your choosing match your characters lvl so you can experience which ever one you want while lvling up before hitting 60. At 60 it forces you into Dragonflight.
I don't know 100% if this still works but you used to be able to do the class trial function which essentially let's you test drive a character at lvl 60. And doing this would trigger the system to think you reached lvl 60 on a character and allow you use chromie time to pick which expansion you want to play regardless of being brand new!
I wish he didnt exaggerate his intonation. Sounds way too forced
As someone who unfortunately missed the whole world of warcraft 15 years ago and has only decided to jump on board now...I thank you so much for this
It’s a shame really…the current xpac retcons almost all of this as “the jailer did it”….dark times we live in for the lore of this game…
Same lol
ive been going strong for five years now. hope your still playing and enjoying your time in azeroth like i am.
I'm thankful for seeing it grow but I'm also envious of you getting to play it as a new game.
Very good. I have spent way too many hours playing this game and didn’t have a structured history in my mind yet.
@Jeremiah. I wish we could download the story and lore into our brains. Also download the game into our DNA so the children will be born with this.
Hours...I literally have years of logged in playtime.
dear friends, read the books. when you have time. it took me 1.5 years to read lot of books. worth the time and effort.
@@itsprudhvirazz should i read the books before watching this video? i just started wow retail 2 days ago please tell me. im very interested in learning from the very beginning
So much of this is from the books
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that for a very long time now my entire family and I have made sure to watch every single one of your videos in hopes to get a better understanding of Warcraft lore. The way that you describe all of the events in Warcraft's history is really clear and always helps us out when we want to know something specific about the lore.
It's usually so hard to dig through all of the databases that are available to find the specific little bits, and so our first resort is always your videos. So thanks for working hard all these years and making all of WoW lore more reachable for everyone!
Your entire family? Wow. It must be so nice to have your parents/children have the same interests as you. I talk about WoW and my family and friends are baffled as to what I am talking about haha.
@@Anxiou5Panda I agree. Must be amazing. Over the years I left WoW (day one of WoD) now I'm back with a sub to it, so i can play up to the end of legion then I'm skipping BFA end game and buying the gameS NEW XPAC shadowlands in a couple weeks instead.
Anyway, I no longer have ANYONE who plays thos around me. My new account still has no B.net friends or any friends at all. The game has become so much less social. It's so sad tbh
Nothing would be better than high quality tv series to dethrone Game of Thrones.
Warcraft lore can't compete with GoT lore. I mean I love WoW but lets be real here.
@Clent Burkins doesn't matter how mich lore there is, what matters is how good the story can be. And GoT still had a lot of mystery to it's lore unlike WoW.
@Clent Burkins More doesn't mean good.
OWL are you high? Wow lore is 10x better than GoT lore. The main lore of GoT is essentially just the human lore of eastern kingdoms. Wow has much more and in a deeper detail than GoT. Not even a close comparison
@@RaelentusGaming As I said. More lore doesn't mean good. WoW's lore is very poorly written for the most part.
"It was time to lead a crusade. A BURNING crusade, with his BURNING legion, to BURN away the corruption." made me lol
Nobbel: "The void lords made the old gods"
pyromancer: *INTENSE ANGRY FACE*
Clearly Nobbel got his facts wrong since the Titans are the Void Lords ;)
that pyro dude never eve speculatad something right. And when you say something about it. He bans you -.-
Does Pyromancer think someone else created the Old Gods?
Where does he think they came from? Chronicle is pretty clear about their origins.
@@AuthorWorldbuilder he says chronicals is a lie from the titans. And he think the Eonar created the old gods.
Hans WHAT???
Hahahahahahahaha! Oh my goodness, I knew that Pyromancer had some pretty wacky theories, but this one takes the cake.

25:04 I get goosebumps *every single time*
You are some nerd
As a new player this just makes the game feel EVEN more awesome. The lore is so deep and amazing no other game could come close to rivaling it ! thanks Nobbel ! truly awesome !
Indeed. 💗
Dude seriously, who the fuck at blizzard even wrote all this? These guys weren't just game programmers, they were storytellers.
*The Elder Scrolls has entered the chat*
It took me way to long to discover this video. As a person that has gotten into WoW in the last few months I can say that if you intention is to go into the game and immerse yourself in the story from the beginning, then as of now, you've already failed. Thank Nobble87 that this video exists, thank you for helping me understand the world so I can immerse in it.
Thank you fro giving me a cup of your channel. You can expect me to come back often to get more servings, cause that right there tasted good.
Truer words about immersion were never spoken
This was a blast to watch. I literally have played Warcraft since the very first RTS (Warcraft: Orcs & Humans) and still play WoW today. I remember some of those ancient story lines!
this is one of the best videos ever made, great for us newer wow people, i doubt you'll read this but i want you to know i spent 8 hours watching cinematics and trailers to try to understand some and in 5 minutes you had explained more then they ever did. this video is so well put together so concise and so dumbed down for entry level but not treating the audience like they are dumb. very impressed super excited to listen to this series . thanks a ton !
I love that the subtitles say "smack smack" for weapon sounds during the WC3: Reign of Chaos cinematic clip.
Jfc it's been over 10 years and yet I got goosebumps all over my body when we see Arthas' death...
For some reason in my mind‘s eye when I listen to him talk I picture him smiling like Zapp Brannigan and posing occasionally in heroic ways. It just adds to the majesty of the video. Great work!
Damnit... Now I can't stop thinking of it!
Ive played every single warcraft game and thought I knew it all. You definitely schooled me a bit. I love warcrafts lore and characters. Arthas, Thrall, Illidan, Sylvannas, Varian, Uther, Bloodhoof and Saurfang...so many great stories and i barely scratched the surface.
this shits my favorite, i remember reading wowwiki all day in study hall back in 06 when i started...
Image that like 1000 years ago people kinda would take a story like this as their religion :D
Do you have evidence against it? Then it must be true! :)
wait....it's not?
Like every religion.
this will be, in 1000 years
Joe Biden has plans to support working people, create millions of good-paying jobs, and ensure that all Americans are fully welcomed into our economy.
We made this cheat sheet for you to see where Joe Biden stands vs President Trump on economic issues. The choice couldn’t be clearer.
Really really well done. I've been playing WOW since wrath and never understood the full story. This is exactly what I've been looking for.
I love the part where the subtitle says "Give me X AMOUNT of minutes and you will know the global story of the Warcraft universe" :D
Ahhhh shit, here we go again.
And I couldn't be happier
Please make an updated one!!!
For 15 years I don't think I ever truly knew what was happening in the background as I pointed my staff and blasted away. Thank you for making these easy to consume lore videos for people like me who weren't paying attention!
I watched the first one literally yesterday and then a new upload crazy
Great summary, Nobbel! We can keep our fingers crossed for what is going to happen in patch 8.2.5 and full transition to 8.3.
Oh no no no no xD
You are... Amazing. Seriously. Thank you for this video. I love knowing what the lore is, but I haven't been subscribed to Retail for a while. Thank you for context for my journey.
Only started playing wow now that classic has rerealeased can honestly say the lore in this universe is amazing! Thank you for your amazing work!
Perfect vid to watch for my 40 minute Q into classic lol
@@kloszo lol Grobbulus, so not too bad.
God I love origin lore.
Would our earth be a slumbering Titan and possibly have an old god in it?
Ah hearing illidan’s voice again makes me happy.
i think the game will end with us killing Azeroth herself as a corrupted planet.
Personally i think azeroth will come to life, she is the most powerfull out there. And cleanse the void or at least something like it.
honestly SAME, i'm a big lore nerd in the games and stuff that i like and the lore surrounding the origin of the universe is always my favorite part.
Since Warlords of Draenor opened up the possibility to visit alternate timelines, maybe we'll be able to see both a corrupted Azeroth, and a pure Azeroth.
Go and play the Dark SIDERS Series.
He plays one if the four main characters, the horseman of the apocalypse. He plays "The Horseman: War:.
I love seeing his roles all being so good. Plus I feel illidan is never gone, because both characters are powerful, other worldly, badasses that slay demons hahaha
You know, I've been playing WoW for years, tho, now that I'm an adult (19) I've really started to get into the story side of things instead of just the random quests I pick up. So, I started playing Dragonflight, but I was seriously lost on what the hell they were talking about at times. Now that I've watched this video, I can genuinely say, other than Shadowlands (which I've paused Dragonflight to play) I am 100% up to date. Thanks so much.
On top of all that, it's this intrinsic lore and history, as much as the gameplay, that is the reason that World of Warcraft has been able to reign as the #1 MMORPG for almost 20 years now. I love this game, and I'm always happy when new players join our widespread, but happy, community. Keep up the good work Nobbel.
Thank you so much for creating this! As a new WoW player, I listen to this while playing Classic and it makes the world so much more immersive!
Never been this early before lol. Always love seeing a new video from you!
We need an updated one please! Up to Dragonflight.
15 minutes in and I’m hooked. I haven’t been playing very long and learned that the lore was so deep! There’s so much to learn about the vast depths of the world of WoW!
the world of world of warcraft
The best in telling warcraft stories, fucking loved the video, got me hyped to play WoW and everything
Impressive to even get that much story in one 40 minute video and everything underlined with beautiful footage. Loved the whole editing and I was surprised by that neat little animation rig during the outro lol
Curious what the future will bring for warcraft, but I'm already looking forward to the next video
I don't understand whats happening in Warcraft! But thanks to you man we can catch up!
thank you so much for this ! i’ve played WoW since Cataclysm, and even after all that time, i never truly understood the story of WoW & Azeroth n all. your videos really help me feel more immersed in the story and appreciate it way more differently, makes me love Shadowlands even more as well!
15 years of my wow career summed up in one, forty-one-minute video, I love you. Cheers!
Learning about this as much as possible so I understand more about it as my boyfriend loves the game :) and I want to eventually play it with him :))
awww thats so cute!
@Nobbel87. I wish we could download the game into our DNA so the children will be born with WorldOfWarcraft in every cell of their bodies.
That's fucking adorable my girlfriend is doing the same and honestly you 2 are keepers :'))
you're an amazing girlfriend !
Hogger is the key to all this.
Haven't played any wow including classic, but I enjoyed my ROC + TFT very much and love your lore videos. This was a great video.
Love ya, dood. Always love working through these playlists. Great work, thanks for the lore and memories.
played warcraft2 up to Mists of Pandaria years ago, but i only discover this channel now, oh how much I've missed.
So basically it goes like this:
1) Some titanic and goddish intro
2) World crysis, everyone unites
3) Aliance vs Horde
4) Jump back to 2)
5) Repeat 2-4
@@ulfgaar7724 That's what 4 effectively means.
@@ulfgaar7724 looooool
That's... some fast pace for such a huge story and such a heavy accent. Good thing there are subtitles.
Almost forgot about subtitles!
watch with subtitles mute the annoying voice
I don’t play as much as I’d like, but when see a notification of a Nobbel video I always watch it immediately. Thank you for the great content.
The best summary of the history of Azeroth lore I have seen. You are a good story teller.
I just want To say it’s been a while since I’ve played wow but I love the lore Blizz has made for it and you make it so interesting.
I’m not scared to say I fall asleep to this story at least once a week
I will eventually come back later to rewatch this!
Been a fan of yours for years man. Love your videos keep it up!
Thank you so very much for all the work and effort you put into your videos. We love them and appreciate you *VERY* much 👍
Love realizing just how many expansions have been essentially "Old God plan to escape 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 (revised)"
Your storytelling is absolutely the best I've ever heard. Regardless of the topic, which is awesome, I love your style!
Dude, your vids are indepth and very informative, thanks for posting them! You just earned yourself another subscriber!
Brilliant video, really well summed up. Thank you so much Nobbel, love your videos and WoW lore!!
Old school cinematics! Nostalgia alert, from decades ago.
wow this is so information dense.
I usually x2 these kinds of videos but this I had to watch regular speed xD
New player to WoW here. Ive been feeling very lost being dropped into Dragonflight and this definitely helps being able to understand generally what has happened before campaigns I can play. Thank you so much for all the work you do and have done to preserve this.
You could always start with wotlk classic, perfect time to drop in
What a nice birthday present! Thanks a lot Nobbel! ^^
Turkish subtitle! YEAAAAH thank you, Nobbel and Egzolinas!
Love how Nobbel can fully explain everything and it's all in depth, then there's just why sylvanas the evil is warchief and he's just "i unno, no one knows, loa I guess"
Well now it makes sense....Jailer whispering to Vol jin in his ear before his death to make Sylvannas warchief so she can do his will. And the funny thing is she did evil things with the goal of herself grasping freedom, while also being a sclave to the jailer XD the irony, right?
I’m spending my winter break binging this all
I love it that you always update this story. :D
Updated Version of the complete Sylvanas story? Pretty please?
Well, actually the old gods were made by elune who's actually illidans dad who's actually x'era who's actually arthas who's actually Jaina proudmoore who is in fact varimathras resurrected by eonar who's in actuality Ill'thalane.
John Franky
And the void lords are actually just naaru
I started to watch this video to listen to while playing, leveling a Draenei Priest. I have since been logged out for AFK and can't wait to play more, as well as watch more.
Man, I love you for this! Awesome video!
Ooof, I remember that voice from Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal.
Man I'm old.
19:34 Goosebumps every single fkn time
You have videos about raids or dungeons that are longer than this one. And still I can't tell anything major missing from the lore. Very, very well done indeed!
Itt is insane that this is so good that I came back to listen to it all again! Nobel... please.... never stop!
It's very shorten narration but enough for newbies.
Well he has videos covering various subjects in 2-3 hours videos for the ones that want details.or the books for sure
@@Iehovv too bad his storytelling is so bad i wanna kill myself after listening to him talk for few minutes
Nobbel, you have to replace the first video in the chronological playlist with the updated one 👍
dooone!
@@Nobbel87 Awesome!
Will definitely have to watch this a couple of times to fully understand it. Azeroth has such a complex, detailed history.
i only recently-ish have had an on-again off-again play cycle with WoW, and am a major lore-buff. i've been struggling with perusing the wiki and other sources to accurately piece together the absolutely massive amount of lore into a comprehensible format, so this playlist is a godsend.
Tysm for making this, I stopped playing at the start of Legion for financial reasons and needed a refresher. But Nobbel, why the batman mask on Varian lol
It's part of his story of Varian, part 3 or 4, can't recall atm.
10:33
I always wondered what Kil’jaeden and Archimonde looked like as Eredar
Thank you very much for all the work you do! It really helps a lot. 😄
wow Nobble87 I love how you retell the story and add pictures to it, I actually thought that the WoW lore was a bit simpler, but there is so much content there that you can hardly get enough of it. I actually intended to listen to it as an audio book while working or while gaming, but my English is so bad that I can hardly keep up. I even have to reduce the speed to 0.85 so that I can follow everything perfectly
Im confused by one thing and that is when did the dragon aspects got introduced in the timeline? especialy sins the whole loree thing is changed up abit
Im here because my sub ran out waiting to login to Classic.
😂
this took a lot of effort, and I appreciate it.
IV read all 3 WOW Chronicles twice, and still find myself coming back to watch Nobel Lore videos.
1:31 interesting map 🤔
is this everything up to shadowlands ? I'm trying to catch up cause I missed alot of lore after panderia lol
Thank god people have made these kind of videos. I recently started playing WoW MOP with a couple friends and had never touched the franchise before. But now I'm kind've in love with the world and want to learn more about it.
ohh gosh thank you for the playlist :D needed to rewatch this
For the Banshee queen!
I just started playing WoW because of WoW classic and even bought retail because of it. So this was a great catcher-upper!
But man, I sorta get now why the internet went insane about how brutal Sylvanas was. But from what I gather, she's still playing her character right. Her only "Side" is truly hers. Not the Hordes, HERS. I can't wait to see how everything unfolds.
I've been watching your videos for a while now ... thank you!
Youve done a great service. The lore is very mysterious and difficult to know
For some reason i have trouble understanding his words...
same here its like gibberish to me
Ban Europeans from the internet
He has a swedish accent
@@realpolitics527 Nope but close, he has a very strong Dutch accent.
WOW that Warcraft 1 cinematic excellence! that brings me back. sorry Warcraft: Orcs and humans
I played WC3 and WoW till the end of BC. Watching this video with that kind of context was pretty amazing, thanks!
Thanks man! This was great :)
Now it just needs narrating by Morgan Freeman
Me, someone who really only knows Hearthstone learning about how important the character on even the most useless 1/1 no effect card is:
A 1/1 back when I played could end up being a 32/32 and ruin your day
Just started this game a week ago and i can already tell im going to be gaming for hours daily, this helps get me a background and more interested in the world, the world of warcraft!!!!
We literally need a Warcraft lore series that HOURS long, the FULL PICTURE !
