Kill'jeaden think : I'll pursui Velen even if it takes a thousand years... (now 25 000 years later) GODDAMNIT WE STILL CANT GET TO HIM!!!
It's like Team Rocket trying to get Pikachu
Velen to Kil'jaden: "Git guud, scrub."
X3
Anyone else feel really sad for the Draenei in the Warcraft movie? Such a powerful race and all we see of them is an afterthought, tortured and abused at the hands of Gul'dan.
to be fair, the Draenei weren't supposed to be the focus of the film that was about the First War which was between the Orcs and the Humans. Though I absolutely agree with your sentiment.
Same, I wanted to see Draenei Paladins cracking some skulls with their maces.
That whole thing made me sad (and ticked off in a way)
I hope I'm not the only one who checked their Steam at 11:18...
^^ So true. :P
Just as effective; even after 5 years.
xD
@@Gh0StF1sHy Just want to confirm that it still made me check after 10 years.
Just as a side note. The Draenei didn't really come to Draenor 200 years ago I believe it is mentioned that way in the Rise of the Horde but that is not cannon. They were there for thousands of years it is said that they burried their dead in the Auchindoun for a few millenia.
Ow yeah good catch! Wonder if Auchindoun was a space ship or part of Draenor with a conflicting time thingy...
Nobbel87 Tbh I think it is actually built by them. But the main reason I think that is is more than a few hundred years is that it just kind of doesn't sound right. As they built a civilization there and cities and so much happened and when you look at the 25k years scale it just seems meaningless.
Doronsmovies The draenei needed Auchindoun for a good reason. Imagine if one of the draenei turns evil (a thief, murderer or whatever) and he is killed in combat/executed/dies. His spirit would probably go tell the burning legion where the Draenei are. They needed to contain the spirits of their dead so they could betray them.
NERD
+Doronsmovies Like he said, a lot of BC lore has been retconned over the years; that might just be one of those instances.
I wish we could play male draenei that look more like Velen
Hell yeah. That'd be pretty awesome.
Ye we need that beard
You can return now. We have lightforged draenei
George Burner but still we dont have Velen’s physique or beautiful beard.
@@lolosh99 We can get purple ones now in Shadowlands
So Velen prayed and got the Chaos Emeralds?
James Weiss lmao
Lol, noticed that similarity too.
I love the Draeneis sooooo much, they're so original and have such an awesome lore!
Naaru and Draenei crashed on Draenor 200 years ago. Naaru was sick, started to suck up the souls of the deperated. He befriended the spirits of the orcs and influenced the shamans of the orcs to take care of him (bring water and such). This made the place very sacred to them. Many years later KJ came and Velen told them that their sacred place, was actually a spaceship with a naaru inside. They did not like that. Compare it to your enemy telling you your god is not your god.
Oh boy, Anduin did had some developement.
Found it on Google, search term "Prophet Velen". I'll place a link in the description.
For the love of lore people!! Our Velen is not dead! The alternate Draenor version of Velen is dead! Please stop crying that this is no longer relevant since he's dead, he's not!!!
i wish he was dead...
It's unknown what happened to her! She could be dead, she could be waiting for her turn in the story.
Velen goes for the Naaru, humans believe it's from a different source. It's speculated that both pull their holy powers from the same source.
Only Nobbel can make me watch a 20min video without pause.
He was and to your first question, the Burning Legion is on a Burning Crusade to Burn the universe.
10 years ago?!? How did I not find these videos? This seems like it came out in 2024. Great quality.
Love the lore videos! I can't wait for Velen's vision to unfold in-game.
im impressed,i didnt knew anything about the story, now i found you on youtube and i really enjoy watching, Thanks a lot for this!
I have always been super interested in Warcraft lore, this series is probably the best source to keep myself informed, thank you!
The one lore video I was looking forward too the most :)
Found it on Google, search term "Draenei". I'll add an link in the desscription.
Perfect timing on the upload, was just looking for something to watch before heading off to bed. Thanks you Nobbel!
Did you ask this question on ask fm? If not, someone else did...going to cover it in saturdays Q & A!
one of the most enjoyable lores
Dude I think your stuff is so well done you made me love this game again
you tell the stories very well and they are easy to follow. it is always good to listen to the lore to fill in pieces that you never knew about.
I like how you work pictures and game footage into your videos. It makes it much easier to follow :)
Thanks for creating these videos.
I have no more time to play WoW because of work. Its nice to keep up with the lore just watching these videos.
Please create more! thanks!
I haven't played WOW since BC but the lore information you provide sir is most probably the best in out there. I want to go back to WOW just to follow up on the lore but your videos are very well detailed. Thank you so much for the love and hard work you put in these videos. I am always excited for the next lore video.
You mean the vision Velen has about the army of light vs the dark? That's in his short story found on the WoW website (see description). The story doesn't leave much doubt about Anduin being the one to lead the army, but the real confirmation will be when this battle takes place.
Want to let you know this video is part of WowWiki! :D Keep up the awesome lore videos, it makes me super happy to watch them.
Thank you so much for this video, finally for the first time after 6 years of WoW do I finally understand the bigger picture / story. Fantastic!
how could blizzard hate that you read their nobbels,the lore is already awesome you only explain it and for that reason im sure some subscribers already bought some nobbels,keep up the good work as aways great lore video.
So Nobundo can get a class change but I can't? Bull.
The humans their source for the light was a religious one at first. Later they slowly shifted this to a conviction. If you believe, the light will answer. I think Velen is the most powerfull priest on Azeroth.
He was a guardian, which places him above the realm of normal humans. He didn't take action himself because he wanted to teach the world that the guardians were no longer needed. That we could take care of our world without them. He probably didn't warn Illidan because even Illidan his downfall was part of the ways things should be. It's the same as why didn't we stop Arthas in the CoT, you change one element and it all crumbles down.
It's possible, the first paladins of the silver hand were both priests and warriors. He has his fathers background, he has Velen his teachings...add maybe a dash of Turalyon his paladin training and you get one bad ass paladin.
Okay NOW I'm excited for the next xpac. Thank you for the back story!
IM NOT EVEN KIDDING. these videos are greatly well done, and i love them to death. thankyou so much for taking the time to do this, keep up the good work Nobbel
Nobbel has a new lore video? My day just greatly improved.
Thank you very much for Lore it never gets OLD I LOVE YOUR LORE AND THE COMMENTARY IS SOO SOOTHING AND INTERESTING ;D
Been searching a bit, but I can't find any lore behind him. What I did find was a post on WoWhead: "So apparently Tseric wasn't fired, they trapped him in the game." Searched for Tseric on Wowiki and he was a former CM, his avatar was this titan. Bit of a story as to why he quit being a CM, but it's possible that this npc is an homage to him.
I was waiting for this and you made it :). Thank you so much Nobble
you have the best lore videos ive ever seen on youtube. very through, and well spoken. LOVE these vids
Man you always make EPIC videos, when you were reading the story of Velen i started having the shivers :P
That's from Velen his short story which you can read for free on the WoW website (link in the description). The shadow is what you want to make of it. I got the feeling that this was a big final battle against Sargeras, but it could be something entirely different.
U are teh boss man,all those lore vids are pure win,keep `em coming!
When Nobundo came up in this video I was really happy. That short story was really awesome :)
Like Adam Boyd said, they had no choice. They had to flee or join the Burning Legion, death was not an option. The damnation of the orcs is not just on the shoulders of the Draenei or Kil'jaeden. The orcs themselves played a big part in it.
The open who made the portal was Medivh with Sargeras inside of him. He got killed and later resurrected by his mother. Then he became Medivh the prophet warning the world about the BL.
thanks for making this video - i was kinda hoping for it earlier :)
just wanna say that i though i knew warcraft history well. boy was i wrong i thank you sir. watching your lore is like watching a series its awesome! thank you
Honestly, (I am going to get sappy here) this video honestly made me change my mind about the Draenei.
I know this video is older, so there may (probably is) whole new lore for them what with Legion expansion out now
But I used to think they were just weird space goats with cool hair tentacle hair things, I thought their lore was confusing based on what I was learning in game.
But this video really helped me understand a lot. So thank you. They are now the only chance Blizzard will ever have of making me try Alliance :P so again, I appreciate it
Dude, that vision Velen had sounds fucking awesome. Imagine if that was a cinematic, it’d be the among the greatest cinematic in the history of WoW.
It cracks me up to hear Velen's vision about everyone flying, and how it contrasts with how much Blizzard keeps trying to get rid of flight in the game.
I really enjoy these lore videos. Thank you for making them.
All of your videos are amazingly well done and I look forward to each new one. Thanks for taking the time to share your gift with others.
yay! amazing video and the one I wished you would make
You are too good mate. ur way of explaining makes it really interesting. I have read all the novels and watched some of ur videos. Really good. specially with the picture/ ingame video support. Amazing . Keep it up bro :)
Thanks for making this video. The Draenei are my favorite race and I really enjoyed watching this.
The Chronolords served Murozond, the evil form of Nozdormu who in a different time period was tricked by the old gods to abuse his powers and escape his own death which corrupted him and turned him evil. Their intention was to disturb the timewaves, possibly opening ways of Old Gods to rule or the death of us all. I think they can take several paths with Bolvar his story, one is a new LK.
That's a great idea bromo, I don't think anyone's made a video like that yet, not that I know of anyways. Perhaps he can also throw in how the characters aging differentiate from one another. It'd be fun to watch, and hopefully it helps homeboy out with lots more views. Haha
So, if i get this right, all paladins and priests on Azeroth and other worlds got their powers of the "light" from some alien beings that shine like xmas ornaments? So, how did the humans get this power? Did they find some kind of naaru crystal too? This raises many questions about the various sources of magic.
But the most important question is: why is Velen the only draenei that can grow a beard?? :)>
No a paladin only gets his power if he calls on the light.....whatever light that may be. The humans use a light that is a lot like a religion, the blood elves eredar use the naru, and the tauren use the suns light. It isnt just naru.
I suggest watching the video of Uthar Lightbringer. It explains how humans became one of the first paladins.
Dangerosu The Humans got the power of the Light from Tyr - one of the watchers that the Titans placed upon Azeroth.
Thanks for making these videos, It is helping me understand the Draenei
Keep up the good work! Love all your Lore videos, makes me wanna get more and more into the diffrent aspects of the game and really "take time" and redo zones and read the questlines etc!
Thanks alot!
Your story telling? Perfect. Keep it on Nobbel!! We want more details about our beloved fantasy world! x)
Thank you for your vids they are SOOOO well done and I love that you put time in to them :DD
haha I have a word document with requests, about 29 pages now. Wish I had a pretty schedule like that!
Yo pin these comments
I don't think so, atleast to my knowledge none have ever evolved back. There is a questline in Swamp of Sorrows where Velen shows up and explains that the light forsakes no one, despite what the Broken think.
Thanks Nobbel, for answering my request
Just wanted to say that you are doing a great job in doing your lore videos. I only read the books, and do not know much lore from the world of warcraft itself, it is good how you merge lore from the books and from the game.
Hey Nobbel. I recently subscribed to you, and thanks to you I have seen 50 of your videos in a couple of days and gotten totally into the WoW lore xD. Thanks man, LOVE your videos. Keep up the good work! Cant wait for more videos from you. You deserve WAY more attention from the WoW community. Best regards Jaina for warchief
Your videos are so good they deserve millions of views , I guess not a lot of people are interested in wow lore.
quite enjoyable :) it's videos like this that make me think about what I'm actually doing in game. Like visiting The Sunwell Plateau. Making sense (in my lil' ol' mind) about the Draenei is a hard task at times. Your thoughts and videos make it easier :)
Anyone else catch "Sonic the Hedgehog and the 7 Chaos Emeralds?"
I think it's more to create a cliffhanger. Don't you want to find out now what happens next? I know I do :p I think the Alliance between Illidan and the Naga was beause they shared a common goal. Naga got to kill a bunch of night elves, Illidan got to do his thing.
Awesome video :D ive seen 2 or 3 of your lore videos and enjoyed them all. You've earned yourself a sub :)
I know this is quite a few years down the track, but recently I did a backstory for my 4 Draenei. I have 3 normal Draenei and 1 Lightforged. Their parents were a mage and a priestess on Argus. The eldest child, my lightforged, had just became a Paladin before the exodus from Argus, while the next two were the twin boys... both of whom were undergoing Paladin training. The youngest, just entering her teens, showed great magical ability, but not arcane magic... the Eredar Elders didn't know what to make of her. Their father (the mage) was a follower of Archimonde and gave into the demons quickly and went to the family home with a contingent of demons to help corrupt the rest of his family. But their mother realising something was up, sent the children to join up with their sister who was with Velen. Then their mother confronted their, now demonic, father and they killed each other in the battle.
The siblings boarded the Genadar and fled, becoming part of the Draenei. After the Genadar birthed off the Xenedar, the eldest sibling made the decision to depart with what would become the army of light and became a lightforged Draenei. The twin boys had finished their paladin training by then and were rising through the ranks of the ordinary Draenei's military while the littlest sister was still confusing the elder Draenei until on Draenor, she came to the attention of one of the Orc shaman who had come to Shattrath to trade with the Draenei there. He asked around and found that they elders had recognised a number of Draenei youth with similar magical traits as the youngest sibling. The orc shaman left and later returned with a number of his fellow shaman, offering to train the young Draenei in the ways of shamanistic magic.
Later after Kil'Jaeden had corrupted the orcs and convinced them to attack the Draenei, the 3 siblings on Draenor had managed to get to Zangarmarsh and were in hiding there with Velen when they found out about the Blood Elves taking control of Tempest Keep. The eldest of the twins was part of the group of Draenei fighters who went and captured the Exodar from the Blood Elves, while the youngest two were a part of the rearguard protecting the column of refugees as they moved through the area that would become Blades Edge. Eventually they all managed to get onboard Exodar and fled to Azeroth. The eldest of the twin boys died fighting the scourge and was ressurected as a Death Knight, while the youngest twin went back to Draenor through the portal to fight against the burning crusade. The youngest stayed with the Exodar for a long while looking after their fellow survivors as a healer before following her brother through the Dark Portal and then on to Northrend where they discovered their brother.
Eventually, through a lot of adventures, which included a trip to an alternate Draenor, they all ended up back on Argus where they witnessed the crash of the Xenedar, and eventually re-united with their long lost sister.
Alright, thank you very much for your answers on my questions, i really appreciate it. You´re really awesome and i love your vids about Warcraft lore, and also your lets plays.
Keep up the awesome work and cya in your next video :D
As always, great video, brodin!
Damn this is so interesting! i really hope we can get to Argus one day...
I just love your accent makes the story and lore very interesting
keep up the great work nobbel love your lore stories a lot thank for the upload
Goddamnit this is so interesting , I love you're story telling!
11:19 I thought I got a steam notification took me a min to figure out its yours in the video lol
Finally normal drenai lore . Your the best :D
That steam message at 11:18 :D
That confused me, I had to double check my Steam xD
Thank you so much! i just sent in a question asking about the draeneis on your ask.fm page the other day! thank you!
i agree, everybody seems to forget how strong velen is and how much more brilliant he is than everybody else, he is without a doubt the stongest leader currently on azeroth but draenei only fight when the burning legion is involved so they have been inactive since burning crusade, but velen is over 25,000 years old from what we know and thats what we know which makes him already older and more experienced than anyone on azeroth.
Hey nobble. I've watched some videos already and then i subscribed coz you really doing a great job here. I've been playin wow for a long time and whether or not i missed any lore from the game is always worthwhile to listen and enjoy again. Just wanna add: if one of the channel's main goal is wow lore i'd love if you'd keep doing it. I've seen many youtubers set to deliver wow content only to stray apart after a good while. If you are dedicated enough, we'll all appreciate it. Looking forward.
I already knew all of this (ofc i still watch the video cause the vids are awesome :D). I had never noticed that the opening cinematic for the draeni had changed though
Shouldn't Velen be more powerful than Malfurion? I mean he is definitely more experienced.
9 Years later, and I don't think that Velen's prophecy was truly fullfilled. Yes, Anduin became a Paladin, Worgen and Draenai joined the Alliance, and Blood Elfs the Horde. But as far as I know there has never been a battle where there are dozens, hundreds, or thousands of dragons and Naaru.
Thank you for this story it was really amazing!! I never knew that draenei's had such a big lore :-)
Your videos are great! I really enjoy watching them. Thanks for taking the time to research and post. I'm looking forward to the next one.
The Draenei have a somewhat similar story with the Jews. Skilled craftsmen exiled from their homeland long ago and targeted for genocide on many occasions. In addition Velen is like Moses in the sense that he lead the exodus of his people.
Jews were well regarded (and still are) as some of the best craftsmen when it came to jewellery, their watch-making was unparalleled. In fact, guess what race gets a jewelcrafting bonus as a racial? That's right, the Draenei. Also, ignore the fact that I'm responding to a 4 year old comment xD
is it a coincedence that the word jew is in jewel ? its a serious question
@@froZn991 Just googled it and it is a coincidence. The word "jew" has its origins in Judah from Hebrew while "jewel" comes from the Latin "jocus" which later became "joel" in Old French and was anglicized to the current "jewel". Good observation though, made me curious
Great video. Love your accent mate ;) Actually gave the story that epic feel it deserves. I think/hope we'll see much more of the Draenei in the next expansion, mainly because i think we'll see the Legion returning, while we're busy fighting the Old Gods (and eachother). Maybe we even get to actually kill Kil'jaeden this time around.
Love the lore vids - please make more ;)
Hey Nobbel. I love your videos, especially your lore videos are fantastic! I also find your voice extremely calming, which is why i watch almost all of your vids, eventhough your let's plays arent too interesting for me content wise (because i know most of the games too well). Continue with your awesome work!
YES! Been waiting on this one! :D
Space adventures = a good thing. Giving everyone a spaceship of their own = even better!
