  • The Defias Brotherhood are one of the most iconic factions in the World of Warcraft and the Deadmines is an absolutely iconic dungeon that has stood the test of time. That dungeon was many players' first experience with that sort of content in WoW, and it has become a beloved part of the universe and its history and lore. And now that the Vanilla version of the Defias have made their return with WoW Classic let's take a look back at the story of how Edwin VanCleef took a guild of masons and artisans and turned them into thieves that almost toppled the kingdom of Stormwind.

    Thr human heritage armor questline in dragonflight actually revealed more Defias lore. Like that Anduin offered pardons to members of the Stonemasons guild and many of them accepted such pardons. While others continued the defias brotherhood for the sake of banditry. Vanessa Vancleef even abandoning this defias remnant to instead truly help Westfall. Reconnecting eith her adoptive family, the Saldeans and forming the Breadbasket guild.

    I'm so glad that I have been role-playing in World of Warcraft for over 13 years because the lore within this game is just amazing in so many ways. One of the main reason why I began to role-play in the first place. You are elevating the quests to a whole other level by sharing these videos on UA-cam. I love the format you are using. Keep it up, I love it! I spent many years role-playing on Argent Dawn (EU) and was a member in a guild known as the Stormwind Infantry.

    Yes its unfair what happened to them.. but those idiots..
    They are the smart builders, they could all become formidable warriors thanks for Edwin.
    All they needed to do is seize the westfall mines. Uniter all in Westfall and build their own giant Keep. And they could build the keep not just on top but also into the mines.. that would've been such a cool story to have another enemy city there..

      @Laotzu.Goldbug 16 днів тому

      That wouldn't be possible. as much as World of Warcraft is a fantasy cartoon game and most things don't make a whole lot of logical sense under scrutiny, there is some intelligence to the fact that the Defias Brotherhood needed to operate secretly. The entire point of their plan was surprised. some people in the local areas that they operate may know about them in a immediate sense but they aren't a major threat that is known at the higher levels or even in Stormwind itself.
      Because of this they don't get a lot of attention, or a lot of force applied to them, hence why brave adventurers like you have to deal with them instead of Stormwind just sending in a couple companies of soldiers.
      That's why they are building their super weapon underground so they can spring the trap at the last minute. if they came out in the open and tried to seize a part of Stormwind territory and build a castle, something which takes many years, then they would clearly be identified as a threat and the Army would come out to crack them over the head and that would be the end of everything.

    What I want to know is, who the hell kidnapped the king, and when?????? I remember playing WoW vanilla, and there was no king from the beginning! When the fk did that happen, and why not include the players in it????????? Just one day after X patch or expansion BOOM, the king was there......... Well fk me!!
    I started playing as a paladin, and played and played, and there was no quest to rescue the king, or any king.
    And now when you start a new game, the king is always there. He doesn't get kidnapped or anything... I don't get how these quests work! Do you need to play as a human assassin to get the quest, or what? It's the freaking king, it should affect all human classes!!
    Like with Thrall, when did he become a shaman????? Do I have to play as an orc shaman to see that storyline?
    Because too much story happens "off-screen", and I hate it.....................................! :(((
