That was an awesome little easter egg. I love Oxhorn's work, both his old WoW machinima and his current channel. I don't even play the Fallout games, but he's such a good storyteller...I can't resist watching anyway. :-)
Would you renounce those feelings if I told you that Runas was actually behind the attack on the blue dragons by the Nightfallen and Withered? There is some hidden, datamined dialogues where Runas in fact was supposed to help them invade the blue dragons and senegos in the pool. They cut that from the questline however. The more you know, right?
I will never forget the first time I saw Runas wither. It's one of those small, impactful moments that Blizzard is really good at doing. I sat there jaw dropped and stomach turning for a good 30 seconds. It was so so SO hearwrenching, right from the "I can not see you anymore" line. I wanted to hug him so bad and just be like 'I'm here, Runas, I'm here !!!' But sadly, that's not an emote.
@@nameless6878 Sorry, friend, I don't. I know what it depicts, but I don't what the name of the actual cinematic is. I think it's a random cinematic Blizzard made for their channel/non-game media because it depicts Warcraft 3, not anything from retail. So it could be from the Warcraft Reforged game, or it could just be something from their channel.
Obscure lore facts! During the quest "Learning From the Dead", wherein you go to Black Rook Hold (outdoors) to find five books of tactics written by Lord Ravencrest during or shortly before the time of the War of the Ancients, one of the books you might find is titled "Voodoo, Geomancy, and the Magic of Peasants". This implies that at that time, the lower classes among the night elves were still practicing some of the old trollish ways!
I don't think it makes sense, as they worship Elune, and not the 4 elements. They draw their powers from the Moon and nature instead of asking the Elements ^^
Well Geomancy is more commonly the field of dwarfs, trogg or kobolds. But as another comment pointed out both geomancy and voodoo are often tied to shaman spells.
If they get heroine, it would also be traumatic. Actually I do like to play male blood elves. They do have jokes about it. One is where they mention getting a patch for mana. Another is when they try to recite the serenity prayer, but then they mess up and demand for more magic.
Well the whole Azeroth was suppose to be Troll Land. I might be wrong but in WoW universe, each planet supposedly have only 1 main race. Argus was Eradar, Draenor was Orcs, Azeroth was Trolls, but Pantheons came and created all these extra races + curse of flesh, Human/Dwarf/Gnome etc. and Well of Eternity making elves + Draeneis and Orcs from Draenor. so Azeroth become this jumbled planet full of races xD
If Bolvar can suddenly have an adult daughter, anyone can fucking have hidden children from way back when. Sylvanas and Nathanos used to be alive, ya know.
Before their war with the aqir, the troll tribes claimed most of ancient Kalimdor. Many of the tribes constantly clashed with each other, but one tribe, the "dark trolls", lived in a network of deep caverns stretching beneath Mount Hyjal. They hated the daylight and only emerged from their caverns at night. In time, these nocturnal habits turned their blue skin into hues of gray. The dark trolls were unconcerned with the other tribes' skirmishes and cherished their independence from the rest of troll society, and mostly ignored the activity of the other tribes.
Quillboar, Centaur, Troggs, and a few others I may have missed, are all in the evolution of Azeroth because of the old gods. They don't directly serve the old gods, but they are in the world because the old gods wanted these brutish warmongering races to fan the flames of conflict in the world. A lot of cause and effect that lead to bigger conflicts.
That... doesn't make sense. Like, these races indirectly serving the old gods NOW is okay, but Troggs and centaurs have prior states we can look at. The Centaur are mostly a less advanced state of the faction of Ramhamken, whereas the Trogg lore ties them pretty closely to the dwarves and Earthen. Plus, this doesn't explain why the Quilboar are worshiping a dead Wild God.
Gerdat14 They are descendants of that dead wild god, who died in the war of ancients. They have no knowledge of the old gods, nor were they created by the old gods. The Quilboar, like the centaur (who are born from Zaetar, Son of Cenarius and that ugly princess in mara) and the troggs (created in the yogg-saron corrupted forge of wills by the titanforged keepers) are all there from a chain of dysfunctional events started by the old gods. The troggs were made as of a reaction to a war with yogg-saron. The Centuar come from a princess of an elemental lord who once served the old gods. Quilboar, from a dead wild-god from the war of ancients, which also was a war that was actually incited by the old gods. These brutish races are the result of chaos sewn that can be traced back to them. It's not a black and white story of "the old gods made them and bam! they're doing old god work" its a bit more colorful than that. They are the result of a spreading chaos and dysfunction in the world. Though I've been digging for the source, I can't find it :(, but I did read something saying that they are there to "fan the flames of conflict." Their "purpose" of whatever doesn't really go further then that. I'm sure void serving entities would kill them off all the same as they would the rest of mortal life on Azeroth.
Awesome to have you back mining lore! Was desperate to see this as a Night Elf main for over 14 years (Oct '04 stand up!). I've always thought them to be similar to the Drow... with the only real difference being a tree vs the inner Earth as their homeland, and the following of the Light instead of the Dark. Having not known/remembered all the minutia Blizzard put in to separate them from previous versions was awesome to hear!
and still i cry for Runas 😢 Jim Cummings really gave Runas life, i was more invested in his story and character than any other nightborne in Suramar and part of that is because of Jim's heartfelt performance ❤
Nobbel, thank you so much for being such an amazing storyteller! I wish there was a Nobbel NPC in WoW, a Draenei on the Alliance and a Tauren on the Horde, who appears to you for major storylines, and you could click on him and he would tell you the entire story behind the quest line you are on. Kinda like your videos, but in game- you get to hear the story in your glorious accent and then play it out yourself.
I think the Trolls are Azeroth's naturally evolved sapient species. All other races have some sort of divine or other-worldly origin but not the Trolls. Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes are descended from Titanic creations. Pandaren are descended from the bear ancient like the Furbolgs Draenei are from Argus Worgen and Forsaken were formerly Human Orcs are from Draenor Tauren are possibly descended from a bull ancient but it is also possible that the "Earth Mother" was Eonar or Freya The Elves are descended from the Trolls. *edit:* It is possible that Goblins also evolved from Trolls, evolved by the kaja'mite they mined Also the Trolls used to rule the entire world like humans do on Earth today with empires all over the globe so I think that they are naturally evolved is entirely possible.
Theriomancer maybe, but there isn’t a rule that Azeroth could only have one natural sapient race. The only bull ancient known is the Black Ox (one of the August Celestials) but he never claimed the Yaungol as his descendents and no known Tauren legend matches him. The Earthmother is most likely Azeroth herself actually: not Freya. The Tauren have no tales of her traveling or leaving them: she is with them wherever they are. When we met Freya, she says nothing special to a tauren player nor does she say anything about the Tauren. One would expect a mother to recognize her child. The Quilboar and kobolds are also sapient races as well, so that’s at least two others besides the trolls. The goblins make three.
I forgot Goblins in my initial comment but Goblins probably evolved from Trolls, evolved by the Kaja'mite The Taunka in Northrend talk in a way that suggests that the Earth Mother is Titanic in nature (Titanic as in relating to the Titans, not huge). If Azeroth is indeed a "Titan Egg" as some theories suggest than that would still fit. I was only saying "descended from a bull ancient" because some old Warcraft RTS sources say that it is possible, though it is possible that this was retconned. Quillboar are DEFINITELY descended from the Boar Ancient Agamaggan. Kobold are theorized to have evolved from Troggs.
Theriomancer on what evidence do you believe that goblins descended from trolls? They’re nothing alike. They have no trace of tusks, while even the most heavily evolved elves have fangs. Their ears are a different shape, more similar to a fox’s than anything else. Their skin is a completely different color as well, and their proportions are all wrong too: trolls are log legged, while goblins have large torsos. We know nothing about goblin origins but the creatures they look the most like are the kobolds. Again, the theory that kobolds descend from troggs is completely baseless. The Warcraft RPG is non-canon. It has too many onconsistencies with the games.
Was that... Oxhorn? That was an amazing touch to it if it was! It must have been, it must have been! AWESOME!! :D You just put a GIGANTIC smile on my face just now!
You know you have been in the WoW community too long when you can remember OxHorn....deep cuts Nobbel. another great vid and a delicious easteregg. thanks dude.
Could have been 40 mins video (maybe splited in parts) named evolution of trolls, since this is just one sub tree of their evolution tree. I am more interested if taurens had evolutions and where from they came.
hahaha the loa the weakest gods in that universe good joke none of the Loa fought against burning legion why? because they are weak and pathetic like the trolls and the zandalari trolls and lets not forget rezan is death Cenarius is not
The elves forsake their old ways be becoming Kal dorei so I don't think this would be a thing. We would've heard of it by the time and it does not fit the elves archetype at all. They are what they are because they sold themselves to the magical power of the well, denying everything else and that's what would've killed them if some indiduals like malfurion did not conceive some other ways
Damn, I always hear instead of "turning the eyes green". "they turned to ice-cream." But what happens, when the Nightelves lose all of their Moonwells.
Well they could always make it so that there's another clan of dark trolls outside of the Shadowtooth Clan, but I agree. I honestly think they would have made a decent nelf allied race
There is one single known dark troll left. She's called Speaker Ik'nal and lives at the Terrace of the Speakers in Dazar'alor.... until you do the Alliance's world quest to kill the Speakers there.
Cool video as always! I wished Blizzard would provide more content where we see elves become more troll-like. I'm guessing it hasn't happened so far because the dark trolls were influenced by the well of eternity for a long period of time, so a radical change wouldn't be possible. But heck that would be some great content! Am I right?!
Just cause I have the toy and use it to scare guildmates all the time, I think you might have left out the Fal'dorei (Spider Nightbornes) lol. Love the videos Nobbel!
what? then what about tauren or orcs? they are neither of what you said xD same goes with the panda's and draenei, but i see the joke you were trying to make :p
@@bunnyrabi According to The Chronicles, Orcs are descendants of Titan constructs, similarly to Humans. And let's be real, who unironically plays Pandaren?
Pretty sure you've already covered this, but could we get a cohesive video on the story of the titanforged creations and their evolution as well? One of the things I've been looking forward to the most was Drust archaelogy, hoping to learn more about the ancient history of early humanity after being affected by the curse of flesh. Warcraft is one of those few fantasy universes where humans aren't just "there" as a bland and boring race, but actually have a LOOOOOONG history to them tied to the very ordering of Azeroth.
Oxhorn, I miss him!!! I wish Oxhorn could make another now and then, but I understand that family is first. This was a fun and good video. almost makes you wonder what Oxhorn would do now that yet once again, there is another pretty race in the horde. Maybe you can contact him Nobble, ask him his thoughts, and also see how he is doing. I would think it would be a wonderful interview.
That song at the end was an awesome little easter egg. Btw, he actually resubbed briefly about 3 years back - just so he could do a spot on wowcrendor's "Fishing with Crendor." ua-cam.com/video/t1rcRy20eS8/v-deo.html However, he's said many times that he's just not interested in WoW or any fantasy-based RPG at this point - the chakking blit! :-D I love Oxhorn's work, both his old WoW machinima and his current channel.

The oxhorn bit at the end made me grin ear to ear and instantly sing along. I appreciate that.
So, can we get a lore story for the Quillboar? They got new models now, and i still don't know what is actually happening in the Razorfen Dungeons.
Quillboar, Centaur, Troggs, and a few others I may have missed, are all in the evolution of Azeroth because of the old gods. They don't directly serve the old gods, but they are in the world because the old gods wanted these brutish warmongering races to fan the flames of conflict in the world.

I think the Trolls are Azeroth's naturally evolved sapient species. All other races have some sort of divine or other-worldly origin but not the Trolls.
Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes are descended from Titanic creations.
Pandaren are descended from the bear ancient like the Furbolgs
Draenei are from Argus
Worgen and Forsaken were formerly Human
Orcs are from Draenor
Tauren are possibly descended from a bull ancient but it is also possible that the "Earth Mother" was Eonar or Freya
The Elves are descended from the Trolls.
*edit:* It is possible that Goblins also evolved from Trolls, evolved by the kaja'mite they mined
Also the Trolls used to rule the entire world like humans do on Earth today with empires all over the globe so I think that they are naturally evolved is entirely possible.

The anti-elf anthem was a nice touch
The call back at the end... it is so good to see that you archive warcraft lore in all it's forms. On this note:
ROFLMAO
YES. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIISSSS!!!
MAAAAAAN it's been so long since I heard THAT Oxhorn jingle
What! Dark troll is evolving! Congratulations! Your dark troll has evolved into a night elf.
OXHORN! GOD I loved that throwback Nobbel. XD
WOW! Some old school Oxhorn in there, really appreciate that one! love his new channel, though fallout isn't quite wow.
Welcome to the World of Warcraft, where you're either a broken Titan construct or have somehow evolved from Trolls.
what? then what about tauren or orcs? they are neither of what you said xD same goes with the panda's and draenei, but i see the joke you were trying to make :p
@@bunnyrabi According to The Chronicles, Orcs are descendants of Titan constructs, similarly to Humans. And let's be real, who unironically plays Pandaren?
Nobbel these vids are so great. Keep em coming! Or let me know what editing software you use so I can make similar content :D
The end with Oxhorn was perfect
that oxhorn piece got me dude, very nice throwback
12:12 “we always knew that their Fel corruption which turned into ice cream”.
LOVE THE OXHORN TOUCH AT THE END! miss that guy
Oxhorn is doing his own Lore videos now: Fallout Lore.
Thank you so damn much for using Oxhorns epic old goodie of the Elves xD
When someone says to me Blizzard doesn't have complicated writings, I will post him this video. Thanks Nobbel!
XD omg Oxhorn's Elf song!!! XD Great informational vid!!!
Pretty sure you've already covered this, but could we get a cohesive video on the story of the titanforged creations and their evolution as well?
One of the things I've been looking forward to the most was Drust archaelogy, hoping to learn more about the ancient history of early humanity after being affected by the curse of flesh.
Warcraft is one of those few fantasy universes where humans aren't just "there" as a bland and boring race, but actually have a LOOOOOONG history to them tied to the very ordering of Azeroth.
I’m glad you made a video on this topic
Lovely touch with oxhorn there. Miss those animations so much.
Amazing video nobbel!
Oxhorn, I miss him!!! I wish Oxhorn could make another now and then, but I understand that family is first. This was a fun and good video. almost makes you wonder what Oxhorn would do now that yet once again, there is another pretty race in the horde. Maybe you can contact him Nobble, ask him his thoughts, and also see how he is doing. I would think it would be a wonderful interview.
That song at the end was an awesome little easter egg. Btw, he actually resubbed briefly about 3 years back - just so he could do a spot on wowcrendor's "Fishing with Crendor." ua-cam.com/video/t1rcRy20eS8/v-deo.html However, he's said many times that he's just not interested in WoW or any fantasy-based RPG at this point - the chakking blit! :-D
I love Oxhorn's work, both his old WoW machinima and his current channel. I don't even play the Fallout games (his current raison d'être), but he's such a good storyteller...I can't resist watching anyway. :-)
PS: here's his current channel, if anyone's interested: ua-cam.com/channels/sC--WvN66vZlDoYShzn4sA.html
Awesome video, thanks nobbel
I was screaming internally when you played The Anti-Elf Anthem by Oxhorn.
And a lil Oxhorn at the end. A nice touch. :>
Now if we could just get playable High elves for Alliance and Undead Elves for Horde I would be happy :D
greetings traveler
Drasiella of Darnassus no silly, you read it.
@@drasiella i put my ear close to my phone, but im not hearing anything
Ishnu'Alah. May Elune light your path.
that Runas the shamed saying goodbye gets me every time...
Nice video as always, but you forgot the spider elves in Suramar!
sometimes i go for awhile not watching a nobbel vid and then when i come back his voice just makes me weak at the knees
@Nobbel87 Huge props for using classic Oxhorn tune at the end 😁😁😁😁
That Oxhorn throwback. Nice touch.
The song at the end exploded nostalgia all over my brain
Dammit now i have to hear some more oxhorn again
Can you please make a video about the Higborne Elves? You make good lore videos about Warcraft and I enjoy it.
Haha the song throwback at the end is gold
Omg that Oxhorn clip at the end lol. Now that's an old reference. I was so dissapointed when he stopped making machinimas.
OMG OXHORN oh no, I'm in nostalgia tears
Every time you say the fel turned their eyes green, I was hearing it as 'When they absorbed the fel, it turned to ice cream' haha
Was driving yesterday and wondering how all this happened... thanks bro montana
OMG THE END SONG NOSTALGIA FROM THE GOLDEN AGE
So in essence, elves are just drug addicted trolls
Oh wow one oxhorn's old song at 16:22 was great it's been many years since years since i heard it.
Yay! OxHorn! Good times!
