  • Vindicator Maraad battled the demonic orcs of the first Horde. He witnessed the slaughter of his people in Shattrath. It was the draenei’s darkest day, and Maraad’s greatest test . . . and the memory of his actions have haunted him ever since.
    Take your place on the front lines of the battle for Draenor 11.13.14.

      Arthas didn't cull Stratholme out of a thirst for blood but in order to prevent it by killing the citizens before they turned into ghouls and killed more people than just each other.

    • @Kalgert
      @Kalgert 10 років тому +10

      Well, I still think Grom is the most interesting one, he was basically Rambo, a bloodthirsty Orc who charged in to the fight, then was hung out on the sun for... A very long time, and managed to hold out for a very long time. Basically he's got an Iron Will.
      Maraad is well... What I see of him a guilt-stricken paladin guy who decided to smash an orc's head rather than escort refugees... Actually that is a rather interesting story arch, but I just find willpower more amazing than guilt-strikes

      @Olagfigh 10 років тому +1

      Disagree. For me the best part was about Grom. Next one was Kilrogg, then Bladefist. Story of Maraad, in my opinion, shouldn't be called "Lords of War". Anyway, there should be three more episodes, about Blackhand, Gul'Dan and Ner'zhul.

    • @Gtank74
      @Gtank74 10 років тому

      Well Maraad doesn't know who Blackhand, Ner'zhul or Gul'Dan are. I think that would make sense why they wouldn't include them in this series. Also this "Lords of War" which Maraad definitely falls into this category.

    I always prefered the Horde if it comes to the game (I also like to play certain Alliance races ^^ if we all would like the same it would be boring) but the Lore was always on the first place. At least for me.
    Finally Blizz showed us properly what kind of horrors the Draenei have faced. Their story is interesting but the way it was told in WC3 or even in WoW felt bluntly and was quickly pushed aside with WotLK.
    Personally I think that this race have suffered more than other races in Warcraft history. First being chased by their former bretheren the Eredar for countless years they finally found a place where they could stay and call home. In the end they lost nearly everything and the Draenei faced extinction but before that they have witnessed horrors and brutality which can be hardly described with words.
    Unlike the humans they had nobody else they could have asked for help. It is truly a miracel that the Draenei still exist and try to play their part. And now they have a chance to change the past.
    I am curious how much WoD will change the Lore.

      DOOM EVONY "In time the draenei met and befriended the shamanic orc clans that
      already lived in the tranquil southern grasslands.
      Aside from engaging in some limited trade, the draenei and orcs
      regarded one another with respect but kept mostly to themselves."
      "However, no amount of preparation could keep the draenei hidden
      forever. Eventually, Talgath-after some 25,000 years of pursuit-stumbled
      upon Draenor, and reported back to Kil'jaeden.
      Kil'jaeden, however, was intrigued by the neighboring orcs.
      Through his protégé Gul'dan, he quickly succeeded in corrupting them.
      Smoothly manipulated from a state of wary acceptance into blind rage and
      blood lust, the orcs attacked the draenei."
      Such random genocide for no reason other than orc supremacy.

      ***** So, after all that happened, orc genocide should've happened, rather than them, I don't know, Medivh, the prophet, and human, telling them where to go and all? And, to be clear, Grom and the Warsong clan did the 'despoiling' of Ashenvale, angering the Sentinels, by themselves, Thrall beforehand telling him to be peaceful, which he disobeyed. The Horde, led by Thrall after Grom being more of an idiot than usual, had a small battle, but they weren't doing anything bad, just trying to see the oracle, and Jaina and her humans were the racist ones saying "no".

    @Darkstar321 9 років тому +1

    I see a lot of people complaining about alliance favoritism, but in last EP there was a lot of Horde Favoritism. But what people don't seem to grasp, is that is the nature of storytelling. Each point of view must be expressed. And from the view of these two, Maraad and Varian, they are NOT in a position to favor the horde at all. And to tell a story from their perspective must keep to that as well. Because to show a neutral, detached 'whole picture' on a personal storytelling session from one side of a war would be to betray the characters telling the story.
    Secondly, Blizzard LOVES the horde, look at all the awesome stuff they've done with it, look at how scary awesome the horde was made. There are more recognizable Horde Heroes than there are alliance ones. And so to even it out a little bit, they made an alliance story.
    I'm sure you see they've told a TON of horde stories. Grom, Thrall, Garrosh and Vol'jin just to name four right off the top of my head. While the human stories have been largely told about neutral parties. Such as Midivh. In fact the only real alliance stories that stick out to me are the ones about Varian and Stormrage.
    Blizzard absolutely loves both factions, and so do I.

    I really like this chapter, because it's really cool and also teaches you alot about life. Maraad let himself be controlled by he's desire for Vengeance, Fear, Sadness, Hate, Pain and Sorrow. For that he forsake the people he love the most, making the big mistake of he's life, to be haunted forever. What you can learn from this is that, Don't let your Fears, Sadness and your Hate control you, don't Be Weak. Be Strong, Do Good, Fight for the right and don't fear to Fail, protect what you believe is right with all your Heart, don't be scared, do your Best so you don't have nothing to regret like Maraad, so you don't have a Burden to carry, because it's really hard and painfull to carry a burden, to regret something each day.. Believe me. So do your best, offer yourself Gladly to do the right thing, even if you don't want to, because in the end you will see that you did good and you protect what You believe is right =)

      a different version that is going through the same shit as the original(but with out the Mannoroth's blood)... he still have a chance to redeem himself for his past *FAIL*.
      the problem here is that Maraad can't forgive himself for what he did, but now he gets a chance to repeat it and actually not fail this time... this is more of a way for him to forgive himself... because pretty much the souls of the dead refuges already forgave him..
      well his people did..... and he did travel to outland to try save all he can...the point is Maraad is trying to forgive himself and this is the perfect way to do it, if his people from this Alt.time line lived it would be the same as if the originals lived...(to him anyways)

    frickin stoked about this expac man- Blizz is really making a comeback in my eyes. I wasn't too keep on Cataclym's questing but loved the raids. Wasn't too keen on the whole Pandaria expac but they made tons of improvements to gameplay, talents, and abilities which I loved. So, like all companies it's a learning curve and I think they're doing great! I have to say WoD has my attention on all these aspects, especially the artwork and story. Even though it's time altering, I think it was a good idea and I can see the future expacs unfolding after these events taking place. I can see a possible burning legion expac following with Kil'jaeden or a demon lord of sort, and playable demon hunters like Illidan. I can also see a different route with having an expac about Sylvannas and the uprising of her new undead that she told Hellscream about, mustering an army behind Lordaeron- and then having her playable class as a shadow hunter. There's so many unanswered questions after SoO and now WoD, that you gotta wonder where we're off to next. GJ Blizz and keep up the good work!
