C'thun is almost a complete eye, Yog'saron has mouths only and tentacles, I think that the old gods might of been one single god.
(It all makes sense)
Ashton Silvers Ur fucking right, blizzard is shitting us
Randy Williams shut up you ruined it all...
Ashton Silvers The old gods in WoW are based off h.p lovecrafts gods, Yogg satthoth and Cth'ulu, one of the gods in h.p lovecrafts stories is the god of all gods, the planet god "Azazoth"
FeArOfWaR HoDrOj :O
A fucking lost it at "see thoon"
its C'thun
not see thun
Koppány Fogarasi For realsies?

Well informed video but the way you butchered the names of the old gods made me cringe.
Yeah I am well known for that
MrRhexx
that doesn't make you an honor.
Give the guy a break, it is a bit Irritating yeah, but I'm sure none of you were born able to pronounce this shit. Good video work on the names a bit tho, just a friendly criticism :)
Gamzee Makara nowadays it is possible to inform yourself on the internet before send out misinformation
MrRhexx Why? It's so easy to just google "How do you pronounce this"? Take a little pride in your videos, because they really are awesome, and you've got a great voice, but listening to you fail over and over again at saying these names is painful. Give the characters the credit they deserve and take an extra 10 minutes to figure out how to say their names. Hell just send me a message before you make a video and I'll tell you how to pronounce them.
The box of Yogg'Saron also whispers : "The fish know all the secrets. They know the cold. They know the dark."
I appreciate your enthusiasm and the effort you put into this video. For future reference, though, the pronunciations are as follows:
N'Zoth is pronounced neh-ZOTH
C'thun is pronounced kuh-THOON
Y'Shaarj is pronounced Yah-Sha-RAJ
N'zoth was the old god responsible for the seduction of Deathwing. And no old god seduced Arthas. It was the lich king.
actually it was not the lich king, it was Nerzuls armor which he had equiped, which you can see by the fact that in the ciematic his eyes start to glow and Bolvars aswel
The lich king is nerzhul...he planned the idea of getting arthas to be his host but that didnt work out very well
Luka Zorica ner zhul was calling arthas to icecrown. Not his armor. Ner zhuls soul was bound to the helm
The thing is the armor is also part of him....
The Lich King is the shattered remains of Ner'Zhul, once a shamanic leader in Draenor. He was manipulated by Kil'Jaeden into leading the orcs to war, but when he realized what was happening, he attempted to escape through a recently opened portal. Kil'Jaeden captured him and ripped his very soul apart and put it back together again, multiple times. Eventually he got bored with the torture of the orc and bound his soul within a set of armor and placed him in Icecrown to draw the young prince, Arthas, to his fate. When Arthas put the helmet on, his very essence infused with Ner'zhul's and furthered the deep corruption the cursed blade Frostmourne had caused. The Lich King then became a shadow of his human form, driven to madness and corruption by the dark magics of the legion and the curse of the blade.
"In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.” - H.P. Lovecraft - The Call of Cthulhu
There seems to be a whole lot of references to Lovecraft in the story of N´Zoth, the Old Gods from the Depth. Like in Lovecraft´s stories he had a race of grotesque myrmidons as worshipers. And he lay in an ancient city sunken deep beneath the ocean, whispering in his dreams and influencing those above.
Have a look at The Call of Cthulhu and Dagon
If nothing it´s a pretty good read. x)
GustavoYuki I though the same, that the Old Gods are a inspired from Lovecraftian tales
+GustavoYuki
Thats exactly what i was thinking too =D
Blizz admitted plenty of times theyre inspired by lovecraft
Wtf are you talking about!? Titans came to Azeroth once and found it infected by Old Gods, Qiraji pushed Night elves out of Silithus but "something" scared them off the Un'Goro and they didn't go further buyign night elfs time to ask bronze for help. Sargeras was most powerful titan that existed and when he went corrupt he became even more powerful and grew in power as he drained other worlds so I doubt he'd be scared of an old god, if sargeras enters Azeroth it's game over, and old gods would probably help him like they did at War of the Ancients when Dragon Soul was powering up the portal and Deathwing tried to take it back, what was tearing deathwing apart was not Dragon Soul it were old gods that wanted to prevent him from getting the DS, coz they knew Sargeras will succeed in destroying Azeroth so they can take over.
LanstussWoW Altho wiki stated that Old gods were powerful then titans.
Regalya I never said they're not, just that Sargeras was most powerful titan warrior before he gone corrupt, and by going corrupt and destroying and draining countless planets he surely grew in power.
LanstussWoW ya he also took a wound from a 6 foot tall orc, powerful but not all powerful.
Liantas videos stated that they can easly supass sargerass and take over legion had they restored to their origianl state tho.
I am a Lion Broxxigar had a legendary weapon + HE'S SAURFANG'S OLDER BROTHER
Even if it sounds crazy, it might make sense. Notice how we got to discover 1 old god per every second expansion. I mean, as literal, not a rumor like N'Zoth. Classic was C'Thun, Wotlk was Yogg-sarron, MoP was dead one Y'Shaarj, now WoD and probably next expac, we'll see a new old god or redemption of N'Zoth after the events of cataclysm.
Video aged great, considering the current events in Azeroth =] Would love an updated video with more of the uncovered lore of N'zoth and Ny'alotha.
Are these gods based on H.P. Lovecraft's books?
Dark Gomamon Yes.
The pronunciations of these Old God names in this are, 'K-thun' for C'thun, 'Yah-sha-raaj' for Yshaarj, 'Ne-zoth' with the 'th' making the usual sound it does. Azjol-nerub is pronounced, 'As-jol Nehr-oob'. Ahn'qiraj is pronounced, 'Ahn-kiraj' with the 'j' being pronounced rather than silent.
You may rethink about the Old Gods since World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume reveal much about them.
5:39
There were pushed out of silithus, yes, but there's one thing: No qiraji could even enter Un'goro crater, the night elves themselves suspected this was a spot blessed somehow by the titans, so since we see silithid in-game there, it's probable to assume that C'thun sent his newfound soldiers there in place of the Qiraji themselves.
Yogg had nothing to do with the crowning of bolvar as such when bolvar takes on the crown at the end of ICC it sounds nothing like yogg whatsoever its clearly the voice of Nerzhul/lichking.
the whole "no king rules forever" part that whould be a pretty normal thing to say to a king about to die.
Also, proof for N'zoth being underwater could be found on the other side of Azeroth, which we have not yet explored, and is evidenced by the globes in Ulduar. We can find many old kingdoms there, such as the fallen Kul'Tiras which fell victim to the Naga, I believe.
There was a small elven settlement off the shores of tirisfall which is now blocked off. They had a few things in common with areas that suggest old gods including a similar area in the hinterlands not far from the twilight highlands. *puts on tinfoil hat*
Enjoyed watching it for the info and for the commentary so nicely done Rhexx! My only irk is that there are tons of things pronounced incorrectly, but I still knew what you were referring to.
Keep it up Rhexx!
I like how you stay stuff, it makes even little things seem to have a lot of weight, you're a great story teller.
So if c'thun is so powerful, how come I can one shot him?
I wonder that myself.

To help support your theory about Trisfial - there're faerie dragons that periodically form a demonic circle and sing creepy songs in Trisfial, then they departure as if nothing was happening and go on their business, only to later repeat the process all over again.
looks like you're right about there being an Old God in Tirisfal. The Holy Paladin artifact/Arms Warrior artifact has you fight off something in that lake north of the undead starting zone.
12:15 Say what you want about the pronunciations but he got all of the following 3 minutes right more or less
About Azhara being related to N'Zoth. If you guys remember the sea quests in cataclysm you play as a naga and need to call your allies to fight the sea wrykuls (can't remember their names), when you see them arrive you see faceless ones arriving from underneath them as well as the kraken like creature (making it connected to the faceless ones and further the old gods). You don't mention it so I was just curious if you guys thinks that this is connected
Husk of Sor'getha is a place in the Twilight Highlands, which is possibly what Cho'gal was referring to. Like the fallen one in the Master's Glaive (in Dark Shore), he has a blade sticking out of his head. However I seem to recall that during the Titan's war, one titan killed an Old God by running it through, but when he removed the weapon, the Old God came back to life, so he stuck it back in and left it. Either of these could technically be this Old God, but the one in Dark Shore is said to be a "Herald of the Old Gods", so it seems more likely that the Old God is in fact Sor'getha, unless he too is another Herald.
Wow, you must have researched your heart out to find all this info! This was very informative and I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing!
you're getting the Titans confused with the Titan-forged. One Titan can easily excise an old God from a world. The forged however are used to enforce the will of the Titans without destroying or permanently damaging a world, so they are substantially weaker but they are the ones who eventually sealed the old gods. It's all in Warcraft Chronicle.
when the lich king says "i'll break you as i broke him" its ner'zul talking about how he broke arthas
Awesome video! I never got into Wow lore when I played it, but now I am a big fan.
Not sure if this has been mentioned: But the voice of the Lich King is that of the wearer of the Helm of Domination in addition to the voice of Ner'Zhul. "Him" mentions how he broke the will of Ner'Zhul, not Yogg-Saron.
Subscribed! That was awesome man. I never comment on stuff, but this I just had to tell you: GJ man! ty! Hope you make more!
I am pretty sure that Azeroth is an old god in itself. It just makes sense when you look at lore and since most of the names are inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, Azeroth would make sense, considering that there is a character named Azathoth (Yogg Sothoth-Yogg Saron;C'Thulu-C'Thun;Zoth Omogg-N'Zoth)
*cough* Fey dragon ring in Tirisfal glades *cough cough* Okay you know the one! Fly past the above ground entrance to Undercity heading east and you end up in a pretty peaceful and mostly empty forest.
Find the clearing with the fairy ring and if you're lucky you'll see some fey drunk darters appear, a shit ton of sickly animals approach it and something causes the ring to light up with green magic.
When asked about it Blizz has only said that the ring is over top of something powerful and horrible... I'm thinking old god!
Tirisfal Glades! I hope that this place will become very important in the future (since it´s my favourite WoW area + very first area I saw in WoW)
Im very impressed by the Yogg-Lichking theorie.
Even it have some problems.. mostly cause Blizzard would never come up with that genius combination.
So, since so many people in undercity are named based off of characters from HP lovecraft novels, I agree with your assesment that #5 is in trisfal glades.
I theorize that N'Zoth was imprisoned beneath the well of eternity itself. ideal position for the highborne/naga idea, perfect position to take advantage of Sargeras to cross into azeroth, A sufficient power source to bury him, zin'ashari is indeed a city of terrible crimes and would have sunk to the bottom of the ocean. thoughts?
i don't need a ghost story man, just wanted to listen to the actual lore. couldn't finish the video cuz of the way you talked
So c'tun is eye yogg saron is mouth y'shaari emotions n'zoth is brain
Ganaa Tiny maybe the 5th one ( if there is one ) is the physical touch and feelings
sanmaru san Oh god, that'll be terrifying. And yes, there probably is a fifth (and possibly even a sixth) Old God.
sanmaru san has to be!
+Ganaa Tiny Though you must attack yogg-saron's brain to defeat him
+clawhammr666 No you just attack his mind
I've never played WoW but I like to study its lore and stories
The only Lore youtuber I know of that does so many cool games.
ok, first off, the developers have already said, very explicitly, that it is NOT an old god underneath Tirisfal Glades, but something else just as bad.
Second: WTF man, your pronunciation is terrible. you do realize they say all of these names at least once in-game, so you know how to say them???
Third, the Lich King had nothing to do with the old gods.
Do you except them to say there is one?Please dont make argument out of statement that Blizzard gave even though its proved numerous times that Blizzard lies because subscribers were right but they can't confirm it untill the time that it was supposed to be confirmed.
GTFO. Your argument is "Well, they could be lying."?
Chillout kiddo.My argument is that developer wouldn't confirm it before the time is right.
Daniel Smith the lich king actually did have something to do with the old gods. saronite is what is armor was made out of/his citadel and you want to know what saronite is? the blood of yogg saron. he was wearing blood of an old god, and he was in a citadel made out of the blood of an old god. seems like he had something to do with it to me.
Daniel Smith Yeah because Blizzard never tell lies or make false promises... It's kind of their thing now
C'thun, just like Sunwell's archimonde, as well as yogg saron, were only part of themselves, we are yet to see the full form of them. Yogg Saron is the dark whisperer, he manipulate nightmares, he alter what people see to affect the outcome, usually war and chaos. This can be seen when he said he has a thousand faces, and he was there in every history turning point. Just my thoughts (still farming ulduar after expansions. T_T)
Well done, bravo.
Look to Lovecraft for inspiration on The Old Gods, and do not forget the sunken city of Ry'leh.
Hmm C'thun is an eye, yogg-soran is mouth and tentacles....the pandaria one has faces and stands for emotions...
Considered that all old gods are only part of one being....namely cthulu? :)
Blizzard confirmed it isn't an old god under terisfal but something "Very unsettling"
Bolvar's voice changes to the Lich King's voice. The Lich King is a mixture of Ner'Zhul and whoever wears the helm.
The lich king and bolvar always gets always gives me goosebumps
you make this very believable and i think its tru cuz of how well the puzel pieces fit.
and also your voice is perfect for this kinda thing (no homo)
N'zoth sleeps beneath Nazjatar. It was the smoke that grabbed Azshara at the end of the eternal palace cutscene.
You should do another video about this. P.s. Curse of flesh happened after old gods defeat.
P.p.s. The one in lordaeron was only a minion of the old gods. G'hun is the fifth.
Wish you did more wow lore =( This is by far my favorite lore video
very nice use of warhammer pictures
You acually were wrong, First, the titans came too Azeroth and found out that the world was corrupt, they but the elementals inside their plains and imprisoned the old gods. then they created the Earthen, Sea Giants etc. then they got corrupted by the cursh of flesh. When they left galagrond the giant proto-drake and when they defeated galagrond with the help of Tyr, the titans came again and gave the aspects their power too protect the earth.
I love how into this he is XD great vid
We do know the names of the 4 currently known Old Gods. Z'noth I think is the name of the 4th Old God. He is buried under the sea and is responsible for both the Naga and the corruption of Deathwing.
N'zoth and his sunken city mirror Cthulhu and the sunken city of R'leyh to a tee. So it all makes sense to me.
so guys i dont know much of old gods , but i read some comments and there is my answers of some of them . All the old gods came from 1 god its interesting and i am 50-50 about that theory but anyway i start . C thun is eye , yogg mouth , y shaarj hearth , i agree on first BUT i think yogg is mind , not mouth , ye he talks to others But anyway he "whispers" silently to make some1 mad , its like he has mind connection to other creatures (i dont know this word on english :D )
actually decent lovecraftian elements
not just "LE CCTHUHLU XDXDDXDXDXD"
very nice
and its surprising how much it sounds like love crafts lore. its almost the same description as Cthulhu has.
They are outside the cycle. That's what the faceless ones always say. So they can't die and can't live? And could tirisfal mean Tyrs Fall a Fall of the Titan who fought against the old gods.
The Lich King was originally created by kil'jaedan using Nur'zhul's spirit which merged with arthas initially when he obtained Frostmourne
It's Frostmourne and the Armor
Well thanks to a friend I was questing with in the Vashj'ir area in the ocean. She poke about an area where you might see an old god around there. I learned from her that it is deep in the ocean going far beyond the Whale Shark boss that could be seen near a sunken horde ship for the treasure quest near it. Swimming there takes you to a fatigue area of the ocean and she spoke about reaching far enough that she could see something, but not clearly as she was insta killed when she drew too close to whatever it was.With your interesting theory and entertaining video , I am taking a guess that N'Zoth might be there or something that has yet to be used or scrapped during production
Incoming to hearthstone!!
So that proves it. Everything past WOTLK is a hallucination because of all the Saronite everybody was wearing. We're all living in Yogg Saron's clutches now.
Jason Embry MADNESS WILL CONSUME......US!
Actually, Azeroth is a titan soul. The old Gods found Azeroth BEFORE the first titans did. Upon trying ripping one of them from the planet, it left a massive scar. The titans then discovered that if they ripped the gods out of the planet it would kill the planet and the titan spirit growing within. So they imprisoned them instead. The wound from ripping the first god from the surface was repaired and became the eternity well.
Soooo the first part of this video is very inaccurate. The titans found Azeroth after the old gods. They decided to protect the planet and attempt to safeguard it as the titan soul growing within is the most powerful they have ever discovered, which will (if it survives) will eventually become a Titan.
*Voice change-might be Yogg Saron? WRONG! That's might be Ner'zul aka Lich King voice.
I'm watching this as my Barracks upgrades on WoW it's exactly 17 mins left
When you said look at the positions of the old gods you can't use the map of modern day Azeroth the Titans imprisoned the old gods before the sundering so the locations of the old gods on Azeroth as one continent could make a pattern
Wait a second, that's a scene from Warhammer 40:000 Dawn of War 2. That's a pretty good game from a venerable series.
The part at 01:00 with the view on the sky is from Dawn of War 2. Just found it funny that i remembered it
teh sha is a old god in its self but sargares defeated it and split all over pandaria thus making it weaker so the players could the many thousand years later completely banish them in pandaria(or what erver happend when we beat them as a player)
Old God pronunciations:
-C’Thun: Kuh-Thoon
-Yogg’Saron: Yogg-Ser-on
-N’Zoth: En-Zoth
-Y’Shaarj: ???
Nice job showing part of the dawn of war 2 trailer and a picture from the high elves army book, two things from warhammer and not WoW (even though WoW was originally going to be a warhammer game)
the old gods. beings feared by sargeras, so powerful they require multiple titans to kill...or just 25 to 40 random deuchbags searching for loot.
does this mean that 2 possible expansions could come from this (disregarding the inevitable one of the burning leagion returning) here's what i have in mind. Bolvar fordragon comes back through the power of the old god that is speculated to be under tirisfal glades, now guessing he has some ultimate control under undead ( because of tirisfal being the home of the undead starting area) end boss could be said old god and/ or bolvar, The other one being n'zoth, the faceless and the naga to flood and over throw azeroth. Just some thoughts but it has some real nice ties with lore and possibility :P
What if there's a mega-old god on the backside of azeroth? And every old god is literally bodyparts, so what if they combine and becomes something world-breaking....
I never knew that WoW had a call of cthulhu side.
I love your fourth god theory, however the 5th about the tirisfal glades is something else you're misinterpreting. Something IS burried underneath the tirisfal glades however it is likely not a 5th old god. not sure exactly what it is however it would make sense to be the fallen titan Tihr, who was burried "somewhere". Say the word: Tirisfall... Tihr's fall. I understand the crypts are seemingly one on every continent but keep in mind we are getting a new one in legion.
See thoon? have you never heard of cthuhlu? the lovecraftian horror he's named from? jesus...
The 4th God could be Next Expansion if they make a Naga South Seas Expansion.
So this N'Zoth is starting to sound a lot like a certain dark one named C'Thullu.
"i will break you, as i broke him" is most likely referring to Saurfang
I've come to the same conclusions as you about N'Zoth , I think he corrupted the dream and lies beneath the ocean at center of the map , I also believe that he saved Azshara and the hightbornes turning them into nagas.
However about the Lichking it was Ner'Zul droven mad by Kil'Jaeden after the draenor's explosion. I guess you know all the stuff about how he was sent and Azeroth etc etc and how he corrupted Arthas , Kel'Thuzad and Anub'Arak.
I believe it's still him in the lichking helmet and that Bolvar has to fight his spirit till the end of time to retain the scourge from attacking the world once again.
But there is something I disagree about the facts you said for the war between Titans and Old gods. Old gods were first in the place even before the titans, that is what I read everywhere on the internet (anyway im not sure of my sources so if you have about it tell me^^). And if we agree to the book three gods whispered into Neltharion hears , not only Yogg'Sarron.
I also used to read that there was a stronger old god who seems to be their Leader , it could be N'Zoth or the mysterious one maybe locating on the easter kingdoms. But for the last sentence , it is only internet's speculation.
Anyway great job on the Warcraft Lore keep it going ^^
... Nzoth was behind death wing. The Devs said so at blizzcon years back when cata was announced.
6:00 minute marker shows Warhammer art. Fitting since WoW steals most ideas from others and warhammer mostly. Even H.P.Lovecraft Old-God Yogg-Sothoth (call of cthulhu) ... is used here as Old God Yogg Sarog. What next? Dark Knight Dark Vareder ? Wizard Hazzy Portier ? Ring of power of evil Saraunon? WoW = Ctrl C + Ctrl V
Hey Rhexx I think you do a simple and straightforward version of the genesis of life on Azeroth compared to Nobble, he speaks to slow and I have to put the speed to x1.5
Lich King was talking about Saurfang .... that he broke him and made him Death Knight
the "him" the lichking referred to was Saurfang the younger
You should do a vid on jaraxxus i think that would be really interesting
you should make lore videos of Warhammer 40k
Great video ...one thing though ... the Old Gods didn't came they were already on Azeroth.
old gods came after, otherwise titans would've died instantly and the pantheon would fall and collapse.since old gods consider the titans a toad that they can shrugg off their back.they could crush or annihilate the pantheon if they work together.also, You only battle the old gods's heads,in reality Yogg Saron is as big as Northrend itself,N'Zoth is a sparking source of energy in the Maelstorm,he's probably as big Pandaria and Kalimdor combined!
Awesome video, ty for making it :)
you know a girl with pink hair made a similar theory video on wowhead not to long ago she also talked about nzonoth was it and how he possibly was responsible for the corruption of the emerald dream and other things
My son the day you were born the very forest of lorderon whisperd the name... Arthas.
Wow I loved it. Excellent job.
And Im pretty sure that the titans came after the old gods had enslaved the elements. The titans came, killed Y'shaarj, imprisoned the rest of the old gods, and then created the watchers and earthen and giants...
Stephanie Godinez Actually, the titans came after the old gods tho... yea i know how you feel. Btw, you ain't hackin' me
A titan fel?.. tyr's fall? tiristfall? idk if they have explained that not that of a huge lore follower but.. just saw something about it a while ago
eu.battle.net/wow/en/zone/dragon-soul/warlord-zonozz if you look in the description of Warlord Zonozz it says '' Millennia have passed, but the warlord still serves the CHAOTIC might of the OLD GOD N'ZOTH.''
damn I really don't like the inflation of the use of old gods and elemental lords since cataclysm. Back in the old WoW days we had Majordomo Executus yell: "Behold Ragnaros - the Firelord! He who was ancient when this world was young! Bow before him, mortals! Bow before your ending!"
The Old God inflation in WotlK and especially Cataclysm kind of ruined the Lore.
