  • Korthia, City of Secrets is an ancient realm of the Shadowlands that was long lost in the In-Between before being dragged into the Maw by the chains of the Jailer. Similar to Oribos, Korthia is inhabited by attendants but also its own strange creatures, and the area contains many mysteries and secrets of the First Ones. The Jailer is searching for these secrets in the hopes of finding the key to fulfill his twisted vision for the Shadowlands. Korthia was hidden away in the In-Between to hide things that the races of the Shadowlands didn't want people like the Jailer to find.
    Korthia was controlled by the Fatescribe Roh-Kalo and an Archivist who kept track of the records. The Archivist, currently Archivist Roh-Suir, wields a Lodestaff capable of locating any artifact, usually powered by the Netherstar. Korthia's being stolen by the Jailer has torn the very fabric of the Shadowlands. Before the Primus was taken by the Jailer, he had entrusted his sigil to Korthia.

    Even though the most of the music is composed by Glenn Stafford, I notice great influences from Derek Duke. The music has become ambiental (for The Maw and this zone), but it's not a bad thing. It reminds me of the older style (before Legion) kind of tracks. Too bad that the gameplay is not mesmerizing like it used to be - because it would've made a great combination.
    I hope you'll enjoy. The zone is not the greatest, the grind is one of the worse in my opinion, but still, it's World of Warcraft. And as long as it exists, I'll try to make videos about it.

      Ahh yes - I was picking up the ambience influence as well. Playing TBC Classic with music on made me realize we have some very similar themes. But there's also newer ideas.. I really dig some of the dull, bleak synth drone tones. Reminds me of another game, Hyper Light Drifter (Which is also referenced in some of the mob abilities)

    There's something very melancholy about this zone and the music adds to it, I think. I mean, maybe as a quest hub it's not the greatest, but the idea of an ancient city of secrets that has long since gone into ruin and is slowly being disintegrated by time and devourers is kind of sad and I feel like the music fits that.

    There is one thing, what touch me in music of this type of locations (Argus, Korthia). You just walk and think - how much stories hiden in this location. How much suffer and pain. All this voices tell the story. So many untold stories. So many lives, from which you can learn. So many souls, which don't want to be forgotten (like caddavers in Maldraxxus, which tell "Remember me" before you kill them. And you want to help them, but can't. All what you can to do - is trying hear something in music or in other things.

    While Korthia it's not as 'grand' as i hoped to be, (and on that note, i didnt expect for Tazavesh to look that magnificent), i do like how Korthia feels less dramatic and oppresive than the Maw, giving breathing room to the zone as a whole. The music is less bombastic and more environmental, like older WoW zones, so it feels relaxing in a way, and even though is technically a withered forest, the mere fact that it has plants and proper wild life does make it stand out from the rest of the Maw. So far, i cautiously like it.
    Thanks for the work, Meisio.!

      after playing in it, I can say that, while I like the more relaxed gameplay of Korthia and the many mounts and toys you can get from its treasures, The Archivist's Codex reputation related to the zone has to be one of the worst rep grinds ever implemented in the game, Jesus Christ. I gave a 6/10 to Korthia as a whole.

  • @feizok4377

    Korthia 3B 7:25 is the most powerful moment from the whole Chains of Domination soundtrack. It's a serene lament over this horrendous devastation in once beautiful and organized Korthia. It's so beautiful and emotional that it is almost painful to listen. The work of the composers is incredible. Good job.

  • @danielkover7157

    Whatever the problems that may exist with Blizzard and their games, they do seem to do well with atmosphere and audio. Korthia isn't my favorite place (very grind-heavy, actually, to where I dreaded the dailies), but they managed to capture the feeling of a lost world, and for the explorer in me, that's one pf my favorite things.😊

      Yeah people will look back and realize how incredible this body of work was. Esthetically, musically, and if you can look past a few things even the story is intriguing. It's a combination of tribalism and people being so icked by the story they are blind to the beauty before them

    I much prefer the ambient musical style, reflecting the mood of the zone instead of trying to dictate it. This is good stuff and first time I'm hearing it (not currently playing in 9.1). Thanks for the great work Meisio and to all of the composers of WoW who consistently knock it out of the park.

    • @hawkstrike18
      @hawkstrike18 2 роки тому

      By far too? Its good bit lasts like 2 seconds...
      I kinda prefer the next ones, 1D and 2A 2B, but not that their main good parts last more than 2 sec too, lol.
      Nothing exceptional here. But the Derek Duke's parts (3D & 3G... no 5G here, to avoid the conspiracy theories!) had me mesmerized/immersed for the longest, I swear this guy has a trick and it works on me 90% of the time. No redundant instruments, just subtle melancholy - not so subtle here tho, hehe.
      Also, isn't Primus a band? Hmm.
