It's one of my favorite locations in game. 3 raids, 4 dungeons, passage between two zones. If not for LFR, DF and other teleport mechanics, the place would be crawling with people day and night to this day. One of the jewels of mmo map design holding interest for multiple people across multiple levels.
Great vid my little one absolutely loves listening to the stories after she saw me watching one of them one day she's about 6 so she just thought of it like a bedtime story since then she's aways asks for a "dragon story" before bed
It's not the only time Ragnaros was accidentally summoned, actually. Thrall also summoned him when trying to commune with the elemental spirits about the disturbances in the land revolving around Hyjal and whatnot. You can see the exchange in the trailer for the Firelands patch. It seems that only powerful individuals who attempt to interact with the elements such as Dagran or Thrall, have a chance to summon a powerful entity like Ragnaros. I mean it's not that hard to consider when you think about how Rag reigns over the domain of fire, and as such is a very aggressive, volatile, and uncontainable being, like the majority of his minions & brethren. Speaking of which, there have been character sin the lore who are of lesser power than people like thrall, etc, but still powerful enough to summon a strong elemental that they could not contain. An example would be the goblin shaman, Initiate Goldmine and his fire elemental Magmatooth who went beserk and tried to kill him in Twilight Highlands. Hell, it doesn't just stop at elementals, it can happen when it comes to any sorcery that involves summoning big creatures. This also includes Warlocks who can summon creatures beyond their control, like when Wilfred Fizzlebang summoned Eredar Lord Jaraxxus, who then killed the little gnome for thinking that he could contain a demon of his magnitude
It was, unfortunately my guild never got to Ragnaros or Nefarian, we were too dumb and unorganized compared to the guilds that actually made it, but data was scarce and we were struggling with the methods.
@@FlowLikeWater429we were young. I didn’t hit max combat until my death knight. But I played since launch and had some pvp titles on my original warrior lol.
Just wanna thank u for ur wow Intel and in depth look. Totally enjoy the lore. Always have and finding u save me time and energy. Gonna listen to all u have to offer but u do a gr8 job in breaking down the lore.
Nobbel I think you are overthinking the part about Morgan. 'Her land' could mean the land that is rightfully hers that should have been passed on to her by her ancestors, and 'her family' her ancestors. But of course you could be right that there are mysteries about this Morgan character, given she simply appeared and no explanation is given about presumably her outpost Morgan's Vigil in SE Burning Steppes.
Thank you for your content, I was into WoW a while back but the lore confused me. Upon watching your video's on the characters as well as the Lore I now understand better and have essentially started from scratch so I can enjoy the game in it's entirety, one quest at a time :).
Would have loved if you did this kind of video for every raid in game. It's kinda hard to get into the lore of the game at this point. I dont really know where to start as there is sooooo much information. I decided to go run all the old raids in order and read about them as i go and i must say it was pretty nice experience to go through BRD/Molten Core/Blackwing Lair and listen to you narrate the background story. Love your work
I´ve watched every Nobbel video of lore at least 3 times, even after reading the books and playing every expansion Nobbel´s are just so fun... wish he did more and more often
Love your videos, by far the best lore ones. I like to have them in the background while levelling alts. Please, please do The Story of Arthas, and Deathwing!
Wow. This channel has all these videos about individual characters. That is all well and good. I just watched the one about the blood elf blood knight lady. Lady Liadrin. Yet it is really cool and refreshing to have a video about a location instead. it gives a broader view of things. Blackrock Mountain is the place Between the Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes zones. The mountain and zones are one of the most unique places in the whole game. It is very different to have someplace that is volcanic as opposed to the usual grasslands and forests that most zones have. Back in the day, that area was really high level. It was the latest levels of Vanilla, which was 50-60. Flying over it revealed a unique landscape with level ?? creatures. So there was a mystery that intrigued me. It makes sense for a low level Alliance player to go between the human and dwarf areas. The main way to go is by flying. So there is the mysterious area below. It got my interest. There us an idea that a well done setting is like a character itself. I think Azroth is probably a good exanple. Maybe each zone and dungeon could be its own character. When I think of Blackrock Mountain in terms of lore, I think of it as the ultamite place of the dwarves. The dwarves have a three way civil war. The Dark Iron Dwarves summon a fire elemental. Then the elemental turns the landscape into a volcano and surrounding volcanic landscape. I got to wonder whether Azeroth has plate tectonics. That is how volcanoes occur in the real world. There is a smaller volcanic area in Un Goro Crater. The Titans and Old gods are the major forces in that Southern Kalmidor area. Maybe they have to do with the volcanic area of Un Goro. This video does start with the story of the dwarves. Then there is so much other stuff. There is dragons. There is orcs. There is dragons going to the human zones and creating trouble. It is amazing all that goes into Blackrock mountain.
I wish you a nice week, too Nobbel ^.^ great vid. I know a lot about lore know, but you're always able to surprise me with details like Morgan. I didn't remember her :D
Molag Bal I play both the Horde and the Alliance, because some of the Alliance races I just love (dwarves and gnomes are great, I got a human priest because I like to RP as a Twilight Father sort of character, and a nelf druid because I just feel like they're the best race for druids) and I want to experience Ally storylines as well, but I just pref Horde stories, and I like pretty much every Horde race. Except Blood Elves. They can go back Ally.
Regarding Morgan, perhaps when it says she lost her home and land, it meant the land and home she WOULD have had inherited if it hadn't been destroyed? Just a thought.
im sure it was tedious as hell, but seeing stuff like the marshal quest line and the other really makes me wish I got that far in classic WoW, makes me somewhat excited for the classic to come back
I have done WoD's upper Blackrock Spire and not once did i see a blue dragon come to aid us in the tharbek fight. I've only been playing the games for a short time now and your videos have helped me enjoy the games lore and what the game was like before the cataclysm. i came in around late cata early mop but never really porperly played till late mop early WoD. Next time in Upper Blackrock Ill try to look out the wee blue dragon you saved all those years ago in the Tharbek fight. like i said ive ran it a few time now and sadly not once seen Awbee
that'd be so sick if by chance something happened in upcoming events that led to magni un-crystallizing in legion or any other future content that the dark iron dwarves became part of the alliance and got added as a playable race, or at least as an addition to the character selection making of dwarves.
+TheGnarrrrrrrr But you already can make a dark iron dwarf in the game and always have been able to. There are at least 3 different grey skin tones to choose from and a couple faces with red eyes. Also lorewise the dark iron has become more committed to the alliance then any other clan. The scenarios in MoP show varian asking for aid from the clans but both the wildhammer and bronzebeards refuse because they were afraid if they did the others would try to take over and only Moira came forth and committed her forces.
I love you lore videos, I quit playing when Kung Fu Panda was released and your videos game me back my love for the game so I went and tried WoD but quit after the opening fiasco.
Nobbel! 1st off I LOVE UR VIDS!... 2nd could u possibly do a lore vid on one of the following? : Gnomeragon, Vindicator Maraad, Deepholm, or Ashbringer. again I LOVE UR VIDS
Nobbel, i was wondering if you wanted to go into the minor storylines in the mountain, beacuse i think that they are pretty interesting, you can always just do alot or all of them in 1 video, this is just a request from a very excited viewer! have a good day! :)
An arcane expansion of her like (Morgan) may have expanded her life, that is a reasonable alternative to the theory, but then again, you could argue that, branching off to an older, different game..but its going somewhere, in Fable you had an entire town, who's residents had all been killed so quickly, that they didn't even know they were dead and walked round did things as normal, if there was a paranormal edge to it, i'd reckon that was Morgan's fate, that when the eruption formed Blackrock Mountain, she died so quickly, that she herself didn't know she was dead.
So, at this point, after *all* these years, Blackrock Mountain has *finally* reached max capacity, right? With all the dungeons and raids, there's no more room to add *anything* new to this region... right? Or do you think we'll be returning to this location yet *again* in the near future.
"In time my son will rule the dark irons, and perhaps all of ironforge as well!" Well yeah... that is if your son ever grows up. That baby has been a toddler for... 8-9+ years now
I watch these videos 2 to 3 times at least. Thank god nobble hasna good voice not one of those annoying ones that have a lisp or crackle of spit nor the strong t's or p's. Thank you for not being an annoying person
Funny you made this after I been wondering lately, Has Burning Steppes ever had any life? I seen a lake in the mountains, Some burnt trees and what looks like around the area what could of been Water.
Wait burning steppes? Uh, I think I may have gotten a little bit confused here... let me go check Azeroth's map for a second. Ok nvm, I was confused there for a second but this is the full story. Basically, Redridge Mountains covered the areas of all 3 upper zones, alongside the still normal leveling area. When Blackrock erupted, Ragnaros unleashed a heat wave which burnt the mountains and formed the location where it currently stands as well as the Searing Gorge. (SG is basically just the other side of the mountain) and the area to the right of the gorge had bigger mountains so it wasn't scorched as badly but it turned into a half-desert. Sorry about not knowing many names of zones, I haven't played WoW in... oh god, its been half a year already *GASP*
Lord Kil'jaeden Lord Kil'jaeden i would like to ask you a question when will be your next move against Azeroth? Is it soon or it'll take a while? Your loyal minions awaits for your command!
You stated that you cant get into every little detail about all the areas in Blackrock Mountain and said you would stick to the main story... Can you please do another video where you go into detail? I find your vids wildly entertaining
I hated their constant frankensteining and retconning of their lore. Original Vanilla lore was great, all those bad novels and mangas and retcons for expansions made the story so much worse...
@Kaboom Baby Classes aren't exactly strict in lore you realise? Paladin is more of a title in the lore for example the blood elf paladins were actually blood knights, so anduin is still a priest who just happens to wield a sword and plate armor
Kaboom Baby not necessarily, the zandalari paladins don’t use the light in the same way others do, their magic comes from loa not the light. Also the reason preists don’t wear plate is for balancing reasons, there’s nothing in the lore that says “YOU ARE A PREIST SO NOOOO PLATE FOR YOU” anduin is still a priest regardless of what his amour is
Kaboom Baby dude just cause you have a different opinion doesn’t mean other ppl aren’t allowed to defend something they enjoy. As for the reason why anduin is wearing plate, yet is still a preist is simple. You just have to look beyond the surface level, Anduin has never been a fighter or any kind of soldier. However his father was, and because anduin wants to be a great king like his father he is trying to imitate him. Anduin is not a some warlord or great military leader, he never has been. His entire character was someone who in his ignorance and hope, strives for peace, yet is constantly confronted with reality and has to learn that his ideal world of peace is not some easy thing to accomplish. So he decides to suppress that side of himself and attempts to embrace the lifestyle of his father. He try’s learning how to fight, he starts to make war plans and he attempts to present himself in the way of a warrior. He literally hides his true naive and idealistic self from people, by wearing amour that makes him look like the type of king his father was. So no he doesn’t wear plate because he’s a paladin, or because blizzard is dumb and forgot that preists are really more suited to cloth. He wears it because blizzard wants to show his conflicted mentality of who he really is ( a naive boy who wants nothing more than peace) and who he’s trying to be (a powerful and intimidating king like his father).
@Kaboom Baby Velen doesn't wear plate because Velen does not want to wear plate. Anduine wears plate because he does want to. Wearing a plate and wielding a sword just to emulate your father is a freedom a Blizzard character can have that a player character cannot
Nobbel, could you maybe do a brief history on every playable race? I know it'd be a lot of work and it's just a suggestion but I would really appreciate it. Thanks 😄
Slight spelling error in the description: "Blackrock Mountain has played a massive roll in the lore of Warcraft" should be role, not roll. Just thought I'd let you know :)
Hi Nobbel, I havent played wow since wotlk, can you tell me what abit more happend to the dark iron dwarfes after we killed thaurissan, why excatly moira came back and they were accepted in iron forge and why magni was turned into a crystal?
On the Morgan's Militia theory... maybe it's just messy writing? She could have lost her great-grandparents to the event, and is somehow a noble or similar of the former region pre-destruction? So that now it's a story similar to a return of the heir?
Hey nobel i have to ask about this its been bugginh the heck out of me. where can you find infornation about necromancers and the lore that involves them. they have to be diffrent from warlocks and mages.

Great vid my little one absolutely loves listening to the stories after she saw me watching one of them one day she's about 6 so she just thought of it like a bedtime story since then she's aways asks for a "dragon story" before bed
"By Fire be PURGED!" and Lil'Rag popped up? Hah! Well done good sir. This pleases me!
Lol.
Fake confirmed.
Ragnaros the Firelord There's no difference in being summoned by a dwarf rather than a gnome ;D
Lord Jaraxxus The difference is by a few feet.
Ragnaros the Firelord Now all we need is Illidan Stormrage and it'll be a big reunion. Maybe add Nefarion too.
how do you accidentally summon an Elemental Lord.. :o
Clicking on the wrong button
When you try and plugg it in the USBport the wrong way. Thats how.
Lots of booze
when you add the banana instead of the water.
It's not the only time Ragnaros was accidentally summoned, actually. Thrall also summoned him when trying to commune with the elemental spirits about the disturbances in the land revolving around Hyjal and whatnot. You can see the exchange in the trailer for the Firelands patch.

It a shame I wasn't there to experience Blackrock Mountain in its glory. I'm sure it was amazing back in 2004/2005.
It was. And it was very, very long, and challenging
It was, unfortunately my guild never got to Ragnaros or Nefarian, we were too dumb and unorganized compared to the guilds that actually made it, but data was scarce and we were struggling with the methods.
@@FlowLikeWater429we were young. I didn’t hit max combat until my death knight.
But I played since launch and had some pvp titles on my original warrior lol.
You're great! Not only because of the videos, but also that you're adding subtitles, thank you!
BLACKROCK MOUNTAIN A HEARRRRTHSTONE ADVENTURRRRRE
Leeroyyyyyyyyy Jennnnnnnnkinnnnnnnnsss
Isn't atremedes, maloriak and nefarian's son?
Wow Jedi can you tell me plz the name of that raid ? I'm new to wow :)
Wow Jedi ah gotcha, in preach's vid he mentioned that atremedes was their offspring, just wondering if nobbel had a different take on it.
Wow Jedi thanks :)
Just wanna thank u for ur wow Intel and in depth look. Totally enjoy the lore. Always have and finding u save me time and energy. Gonna listen to all u have to offer but u do a gr8 job in breaking down the lore.

man, every video you make the wife and I learn a lot of great lore. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos, they are MUCH appreciated!!
As someone with hearing loss and who loves WoW lore, I wish this channel had subtitles.
doesn't youtube have subtitles?
I don't know about his other videos, but this one had Closed Captioning which is basically subtitles
That Guy yeah but they fail to a hilarious degree
Robert Pysh better than nothing
That Guy correction *nothing is better it's just that bad
I love your videos, you explain the stories so well and tell the entire thing, you never skip anything
hey Nobbel, I listen to all your videos but I don't comment much so XD
I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this vid as well!
Thank you! Great to hear :D

I´ve watched every Nobbel video of lore at least 3 times, even after reading the books and playing every expansion Nobbel´s are just so fun... wish he did more and more often
Thank you. I looked this up to understand more about the Chromatic dragonflight, and I actually do now. I appreciate you!
i love all your videos nobbel. youve made wow a more complete and fun experience for me as a whole.
like always, awsome vid nobbel, i specialy luv this kind that goes way back into the lore, keep up the good work.
Love your videos, by far the best lore ones. I like to have them in the background while levelling alts. Please, please do The Story of Arthas, and Deathwing!
Is it weird Im listening to this to sleep?
I love it to fall asleep
It's this or Destiny lore, every night.
Hey Nobbel I like to thank you for creating all those videos. I always listen to you during studying :D Your voice is somehow relaxing.
Probs one of my fav zones for its rich lore...love this place
Totally awesome! keep the good work Nobbel!

I wish you a nice week, too Nobbel ^.^ great vid. I know a lot about lore know, but you're always able to surprise me with details like Morgan. I didn't remember her :D
Blizz has never let Lore get in the way of an idea they have in there head.
Very good video. I enjoy listening to these video while leveling in wow, so i think you for your hard work!
Love the video, I'm am so amazed and intered in the whole Warcraft Lore
Every singel video i want to start playing again.. its horrible.. so much nostalgia.. thanks for another awesome video nobbel!
For da Horde, mon.
FOR THE ALLIANCE! :)
Dk Entertainment We should make an order that is friendly to both factions called "The Lore Nibblers".
Molag Bal I play both the Horde and the Alliance, because some of the Alliance races I just love (dwarves and gnomes are great, I got a human priest because I like to RP as a Twilight Father sort of character, and a nelf druid because I just feel like they're the best race for druids) and I want to experience Ally storylines as well, but I just pref Horde stories, and I like pretty much every Horde race. Except Blood Elves. They can go back Ally.
***** finally, a fellow true member of the horde! fuck belfs!!
Not the real Kirito I'd say the same to you, but your mouth wouldn't be able to hold it
Blackrock Mountain? Surely you mean BLACKROOCK MOUNTAIN! A HEARRRHSTONE ADVENTUUURRRRRRE!
your lore videos are top notch sir ... well played
Regarding Morgan, perhaps when it says she lost her home and land, it meant the land and home she WOULD have had inherited if it hadn't been destroyed? Just a thought.
armsdragon05 That's actually plausible.
im sure it was tedious as hell, but seeing stuff like the marshal quest line and the other really makes me wish I got that far in classic WoW, makes me somewhat excited for the classic to come back
Gonna watch a marathon of these lore videos while server maintenance is happening
By far my favorite youtuber
So.. Am I the only one who replies "Hello!" whenever Nobbel starts his video with "Hello everyone" ?
Your not alone..Hi Nobbel!
TheShindomaru Digglent Hi!
Nobbel87 Hi Nobbel! ^-^
So you are replaying it like "Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello everyone" ?
Good Loré telling as always!
I have done WoD's upper Blackrock Spire and not once did i see a blue dragon come to aid us in the tharbek fight. I've only been playing the games for a short time now and your videos have helped me enjoy the games lore and what the game was like before the cataclysm. i came in around late cata early mop but never really porperly played till late mop early WoD. Next time in Upper Blackrock Ill try to look out the wee blue dragon you saved all those years ago in the Tharbek fight. like i said ive ran it a few time now and sadly not once seen Awbee
Nothing like a bit of Nobbel in the morning!
Thanks, i searched everywhere for the story and looked if you already did explain it before.
Zoveel RrrRRRrrrrRrrRrRr dat ik het niet kan volhouden doorrr te luisteren
that'd be so sick if by chance something happened in upcoming events that led to magni un-crystallizing in legion or any other future content that the dark iron dwarves became part of the alliance and got added as a playable race, or at least as an addition to the character selection making of dwarves.
+TheGnarrrrrrrr But you already can make a dark iron dwarf in the game and always have been able to. There are at least 3 different grey skin tones to choose from and a couple faces with red eyes. Also lorewise the dark iron has become more committed to the alliance then any other clan. The scenarios in MoP show varian asking for aid from the clans but both the wildhammer and bronzebeards refuse because they were afraid if they did the others would try to take over and only Moira came forth and committed her forces.
Man Thaurssian had a good life before we stepped in.
The shared name between the orc clan and mountain was a mystery before this, thanks!
Oh Boy!
These Videos are awesome!
Also the stone for Black Rook Hold (during the War of the Ancients) was mined from the black rock area FYI
AHA! Finally i caught a glimpse of Rude Nobbel. At 18:58 he says "I hope you don't have a great week..."
BOOM! Evil Nobbel confirmed!
amazing work nobbel greetings from denmark ;D
Tbh I wanted Leeroy just to go "... LEEROYYYYY.... JENNNNNNNNNNNKINSSS!!!" I wasn't very pleased :/
He does in the encounter. Nob just didn't show it. Leeroy also keeps talking about "not-rotten chicken" which cracked me up.
Hey Nobbel you forgot to mention the dungeon they added in Cata of Blackrock Descent with the twilight hammers cultists taking up residence there
I love your Lore videos ^^
I love you lore videos, I quit playing when Kung Fu Panda was released and your videos game me back my love for the game so I went and tried WoD but quit after the opening fiasco.
Blackrock Mountain belongs to the Dwarves
It was great to be able to watch this while I wait for BRM to open here :) Thanks Nobbel
Awesome lore! thanks!
Nobbel! 1st off I LOVE UR VIDS!... 2nd could u possibly do a lore vid on one of the following? : Gnomeragon, Vindicator Maraad, Deepholm, or Ashbringer. again I LOVE UR VIDS
Nobbel, i was wondering if you wanted to go into the minor storylines in the mountain, beacuse i think that they are pretty interesting, you can always just do alot or all of them in 1 video, this is just a request from a very excited viewer!
have a good day! :)
And ofcourse maybe something about nefarians experimaents? :)
An arcane expansion of her like (Morgan) may have expanded her life, that is a reasonable alternative to the theory, but then again, you could argue that, branching off to an older, different game..but its going somewhere, in Fable you had an entire town, who's residents had all been killed so quickly, that they didn't even know they were dead and walked round did things as normal, if there was a paranormal edge to it, i'd reckon that was Morgan's fate, that when the eruption formed Blackrock Mountain, she died so quickly, that she herself didn't know she was dead.
6:26 I think the dungeon was a event that took place in the past that you could play now.
Do you get what I mean?
How about the lore of Trade Prince Gallywix?
Morgan could also be descended from someone who lived in the area when the Dark Irons inadvertently called Rag to the Material Plane.
8:15 hmm, I wonder if we are ever going to be able to play them. Did they ever prove themselves to the alliance?
Seriously, you have the best voice in the world
So, at this point, after *all* these years, Blackrock Mountain has *finally* reached max capacity, right? With all the dungeons and raids, there's no more room to add *anything* new to this region... right? Or do you think we'll be returning to this location yet *again* in the near future.
Metzen will find a way
There is no physics in wow. Only Metzen
probably yea
I would love a Blackrock Mountain warfront on BfA
"In time my son will rule the dark irons, and perhaps all of ironforge as well!"
Well yeah... that is if your son ever grows up. That baby has been a toddler for... 8-9+ years now
Right? should be like 14 now
A large group of Human Males also had an idea of passing through Blackrock Mountain and throw a bracelet of power into the Cauldron of Searing Gorge.
I thought this idea for a great movie was about two gnomes who find a bracelet of power.
I watch these videos 2 to 3 times at least. Thank god nobble hasna good voice not one of those annoying ones that have a lisp or crackle of spit nor the strong t's or p's. Thank you for not being an annoying person
perfect as always :D
Funny you made this after I been wondering lately, Has Burning Steppes ever had any life? I seen a lake in the mountains, Some burnt trees and what looks like around the area what could of been Water.
Burning Stepped and Blackrock were all part of Redridge before Ragnaros.
Joyde So it was a dry like land too? Interesting. What about searing gorge?
Wait burning steppes? Uh, I think I may have gotten a little bit confused here... let me go check Azeroth's map for a second.
Ok nvm, I was confused there for a second but this is the full story.
Basically, Redridge Mountains covered the areas of all 3 upper zones, alongside the still normal leveling area. When Blackrock erupted, Ragnaros unleashed a heat wave which burnt the mountains and formed the location where it currently stands as well as the Searing Gorge. (SG is basically just the other side of the mountain) and the area to the right of the gorge had bigger mountains so it wasn't scorched as badly but it turned into a half-desert.
Sorry about not knowing many names of zones, I haven't played WoW in... oh god, its been half a year already *GASP*
Joyde Return and I will bless you.
Lord Kil'jaeden Lord Kil'jaeden i would like to ask you a question when will be your next move against Azeroth? Is it soon or it'll take a while? Your loyal minions awaits for your command!
Ty for this one!
Hey Nobbel. I think a cool video idea would be for what we know as the backstory of the Worgen and their starting zone.
Something that always bugged me. If we looped off ony and nefarians heads years ago, how dead deathwing get them back so he could rez them?
+Xander Pick them up from the gates...? That seems most likely, though the mental image is ludicrous. XD
Magic
A wizard did it
You stated that you cant get into every little detail about all the areas in Blackrock Mountain and said you would stick to the main story... Can you please do another video where you go into detail? I find your vids wildly entertaining
11:50 Vanilla raiders must be either hell of jealous or hell of angry to see Vaelastrasz downed in mere seconds.
Nobbel you have to be my favourite youtuber, always good content presented well and entertaining, also your accent reminds meof my old BFF in wow hah
I hated their constant frankensteining and retconning of their lore. Original Vanilla lore was great, all those bad novels and mangas and retcons for expansions made the story so much worse...
That's because Chris Metzen left. He was like 99% the lore guy who created the epic stories of Warcraft
@Kaboom Baby Classes aren't exactly strict in lore you realise? Paladin is more of a title in the lore for example the blood elf paladins were actually blood knights, so anduin is still a priest who just happens to wield a sword and plate armor
Kaboom Baby not necessarily, the zandalari paladins don’t use the light in the same way others do, their magic comes from loa not the light. Also the reason preists don’t wear plate is for balancing reasons, there’s nothing in the lore that says “YOU ARE A PREIST SO NOOOO PLATE FOR YOU” anduin is still a priest regardless of what his amour is
Kaboom Baby dude just cause you have a different opinion doesn’t mean other ppl aren’t allowed to defend something they enjoy. As for the reason why anduin is wearing plate, yet is still a preist is simple. You just have to look beyond the surface level, Anduin has never been a fighter or any kind of soldier. However his father was, and because anduin wants to be a great king like his father he is trying to imitate him. Anduin is not a some warlord or great military leader, he never has been. His entire character was someone who in his ignorance and hope, strives for peace, yet is constantly confronted with reality and has to learn that his ideal world of peace is not some easy thing to accomplish. So he decides to suppress that side of himself and attempts to embrace the lifestyle of his father. He try’s learning how to fight, he starts to make war plans and he attempts to present himself in the way of a warrior. He literally hides his true naive and idealistic self from people, by wearing amour that makes him look like the type of king his father was. So no he doesn’t wear plate because he’s a paladin, or because blizzard is dumb and forgot that preists are really more suited to cloth. He wears it because blizzard wants to show his conflicted mentality of who he really is ( a naive boy who wants nothing more than peace) and who he’s trying to be (a powerful and intimidating king like his father).
@Kaboom Baby Velen doesn't wear plate because Velen does not want to wear plate. Anduine wears plate because he does want to. Wearing a plate and wielding a sword just to emulate your father is a freedom a Blizzard character can have that a player character cannot
Cata: The good old times where you can get randomly incinerated by Deathwing while questing. XD
Can you tell the story of outlands next? Anything with illidan is the best!
Nobbel, could you maybe do a brief history on every playable race? I know it'd be a lot of work and it's just a suggestion but I would really appreciate it. Thanks 😄
Slight spelling error in the description:
"Blackrock Mountain has played a massive roll in the lore of Warcraft" should be role, not roll. Just thought I'd let you know :)
Hi Nobbel, I havent played wow since wotlk, can you tell me what abit more happend to the dark iron dwarfes after we killed thaurissan, why excatly moira came back and they were accepted in iron forge and why magni was turned into a crystal?
Awsome video!!!!
Ahh... The pronouncing of R's. Also great video, mate! Bit of an Dark Iron fanatic here.
Nobbel87 , 17:15 ... "she could have found a magical way to extend your life..." You hear that? Sounds like fan fictions to me.
On the Morgan's Militia theory... maybe it's just messy writing? She could have lost her great-grandparents to the event, and is somehow a noble or similar of the former region pre-destruction? So that now it's a story similar to a return of the heir?
Great lore as always man. Any way we can get the background of that intro as a wallpaper? I love it.
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
8:10 tell me that wouldn't make for a great machinma for dragonforce three hammers Kreygasm
You need more stories more often. :)
Can you do a video on Tirion Fordring? Unless you have and the search has failed me.
Hey nobel i have to ask about this its been bugginh the heck out of me. where can you find infornation about necromancers and the lore that involves them. they have to be diffrent from warlocks and mages.
