- Welcome back to another chapter on the Titan Keepers of Azeroth!
We carry on where we left off following the rise of the Dragon Aspects!
In today's episode, we focus on Odyn's decision to turn away from the Keepers, the Paradise and army he creates and conflicts that start to arise...
This story will continue in a future episode featuring Loken, Helya and Odyn!

Its an outrage your channel doesnt have more subs nor your videos more views. You are by far the BEST lore channel i've ever seen. Please keep it up, hopefully you will get your brake soon, ideally Blizzard sharing a video or two!
I'll watch this video, but first I must prove my worth to Odyn and complete a trial.
NO! I, TOO, HAVE PROVED MY WORTH ODYYYYYYYYYYYYYN!
I AM GOD KING SKOVALD
Another fine job, Jesse and Jeffrey! I found this an absorbing follow-up to the three parts of the Re-forging of Azaroth which you did a few months ago.. Hope to see many more of your really great videos.
Excellent work. Production, narration, VE; everything was brilliant. Hope we get many more of this videos. Keep it up!
I've literally just marathoned your entire channel. Holy shit, it was awesome! Thanks for the great work!
The intro music is *the* exact clip from my favorite soundtrack ever in the game. Never change it!
can u tell me its name?
Legacy i believe.
That actually explains alot. So now I totally understand the story!
Saw this on Reddit but apparently I've already been subbed for a good amount of time ;) looks like I already found the good channels AEGIS AGO
YOUR PUN PLEASES ODYN
NOOOOOO! I TOO HAVE PROVED MY WORTH, ODYN! I AM GOD-KING SKOVALD! THESE MORTALS DARE NOT CHALLENGE MY PUNS OF THE AEGIS!
Found your channel today. Watched every single video already. Great content! Keep it up!
Again, an incredibly well made video! Keep going!
Thanks!
Dig these videos man! Keep up the good work please!
Very well made and fun to watch!
Thank you!
Great video! Where do you learn this sort of lore? Is it in the books? Anyway keep em coming!
Once again amazing content, always look forward to a new upload from you, more than any other youtube channel I'm subscribed to.
Truly appreciate that man! Glad you're a fan :)
never clicked so fast in my life!! amazing video as always
Great Videos, I love your channel. I hope to see more.
Hello,I just discovered your channel and it's awesome!I have one question tho,how do you make a picture look like that at 3:22 mark?The style is incredible
That particular effect is called 'oil painting'. I've seen it as a preset setting in Photoshop, as well as a few other programs. The different sliders allow you to make the 'brush strokes' more broad and the 'oil shine' more pronounced. A really simple effect that makes some unbelievable shots.
Thank you for the fast response!
Awesome video!
Please make one on the burning legion, as well as its origin.
Definitely on the list. Have a rough outline done but going to wait until we're done the Suramar series and what not. Will definitely be a multi-part series in the New Year!
Good idea. More on the background would be very welcome.
The Lost Codex Fucking thank you.
very well written.
Thank you :)
I love your chanel, You deserve so many more subscribers and likes :DD
Much appreciated :)
Awesome as always
I dont know if you guys have control over this or not, but both the subtitles letters and the subtitles background are white, and it makes it really hard to read. Im from Mexico, and english its not my native language and i use subtitles to help me understand more easy. Can you guys fix that? or its a UA-cam problem?
(Also, this videos are really awesome. Thanks a lot for your efforts Lost Codex team :D )
Let's not forget, Odyn was right. The Aspects failed, and the strongest was corrupted. Due to this the rest of the keepers were either slain, and the rest corrupted, or deceived by the old gods in their remote and isolated strongholds.
If Helya had not cursed him, Odyn and his army would easily have ended the threat of Deathwing, Horde, Scourge, and Legion when they each invaded.
Instead of merely the Alliance and Horde at the Broken Shore, the might of the Valajar would have crashed against the Legion's Vanguard. An Army comprised of the finest warriors through the millennia.
The sacrifice of a few, as guides to the dead could very well have been the key to the safety of Azeroth, and the containment to the old gods as well. Since the new Stormforged were not susceptible to the curse of flesh in the Halls of Valor.
“Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”
While all that is true, it's probably better for the races of Azeroth that he was locked up. (All lore speculation if he wasn't locked up, not a disagreement towards your comment.)
He probably wouldn't have been fond of the idea of select groups of the Vrykul, Earthen, and Mechagnomes falling victim to the Curse of Flesh and probably would have ordered the Old God corrupted beings to be purged, preventing the evolution into Humans, Dwarves, and Gnomes. (While keeping around the original stone-skinned races that didn't fall to the Curse ofc)
He probably wouldn't turn a blind eye towards the Highborne using the Well of Eternity for summoning Sargeras and the Legion to Azeroth. And probably would have obliterated the Highborne and surrounding Night Elves to prevent another "attempt" at destroying/corrupting Azeroth, the sleeping World Soul, that the Keepers were created to protect.
Draenei might have been seen as an invading force or probably ignored once they crash-landed, Not sure.
Worgen would probably not be around. Depending on how much Odyn and his Valajar armies decimated the Legion during their first invasion. If enough Satyrs survived to cause the War of the Satyr then the NE Druids would probably summon the Worgen as before.
Not sure if Orcs would have found Azeroth (the planet). Without Medivh to act as a host for Sargeras, and the person on the other side for the Dark Portal spell he casted with Gul'dan.
*Not to familiar w/ Troll and Tauren lore not sure how they would have been affected :?
***** I agree with all of that, as in the end Odyn being free would have resulted in a very "Pure" Azeroth.
Also trolls and Tauren would most likely have been left alone, or simply observed; as the Titans usually had no issue with evolved lifeforms on their worlds.
In fact Titan Records even saw Dwarves, Gnomes and Humans as acceptable species resulting from the Curse of Flesh; even if Odyn might or might not have.
Although we must remember that he actually has no issue accepting Vrykul that have been affected by the Curse of Flesh.
He even grants them Stormforged bodies if they are truly worthy of it.
So I would assume he would have done the same to other Titanforged races if he was able to also rescue their souls from the Shadowlands.
If he was also free, it would also have mostly likely have prevented the death of other keepers such as Ra at the hands of the Mogu.
Which in turn would have meant the prison complex of Ahn'Qiraj, and others would have not been corrupted and turned into old god cities.
Even without all the speculation, it is truly sad that Helya had "hijacked" the vast majority of Vrykul souls; as she was supposed to ferry them to the Halls of Valor. Instead enslaving them in Helheim for her bidding.
I wonder how much greater Odyn's army might have been even now if that didn't happen.
It will certainly be interesting to see what happens now that Odyn is free. Especially since at the fall of Helya he states he's going to travel to Ulduar since he has long wished to see the other Keepers.
I wonder how he will react to the fall of Ra, Tyr, and the corruption of Loken. Let alone the destruction of most of their strongholds and facilities. Or the influence and corruption of the OId Gods throughout Azeroth.
A tyrant with correct foresight is still a tyrant.
Of course, let's not forget that this was tens of thousands of years ago, and since then Odyn has learned humility and tolerance, while Helya has dived deeper into the depth of hatred beyond redemption.
The Keepers being slain or corrupted wasn't the dragon aspects faults. but yes Azeroth couldn't solely rely on the dragon aspects alone (Not to mention Nelfarion's allegiences misguided); but that's why the dragon aspects sought mortal races to assist them in their defence; which lets be honest Odin can't ridicule because he's doing the same now... lol
The dragon aspects had done much over time though; and if they hadn't been created using the powers of the Pantheon that was granted to them; Azeroth would have many other threats in different forms. (Nozdorumu stopped didn't only stop infinite in the timeline; but also meddling mages, renegade titanforge, and Old God minions / whispers that seemed to slip through time). Plus where was Odyn & his great army when the scourge came a big problem aye? Dragon Aspects were there to help here & there but Odyn was too busy lifting his ego lol.
Where was Odyn when the Scourge came? He was in the Halls of Valor trapped by Helya...
The Keepers slacked off because of the Aspects and didn't do their jobs properly anymore.
Had they not been created ( the aspects ) the Keepers would all still have been very active in the world.
If Helya didn't curse and trap Odyn, along with leeching off the souls of the dead to build her own army; they would have decimated the Scourge.
What good is a plague and the undead against an Immortal army or the heavens.
The only reason Odyn is seeking the aid of the mortals is because the rest of the keepers, and their defences have been broken over the millennia. Something that wouldn't have happened had he not been trapped, and the souls of the fallen taken by Helya; instead of being ferried to the Halls of Valor.
The problem with the Vrykul is that none of them could see the honor of ferrying souls to paradise.
They were warriors first and foremost, anything other than swinging an axe into their opponent's face was disgraceful. It amazes me that vrykuls even had mystics, but I guess all cultures need their magic and mysticism.
Will you guys be continuing this storyline before we return to the kaldorei?
I think the need for mystics, sages and storytellers would've come later in Vrykul culture when the curse of Flesh started to take its toll. As time went on, the Vrykul would've likely developed stories for their origins and legends and myths around the Titans. Mystics might've been a culture evolution later on. Its neat to think about!
And we'll be continuing this general topic before we return to Kaldorei. Night Elves and Suramar will continue later this month, but likely in January closer to the release of Night Hold!
Are we not getting a continuation on the History of the Kaldorei/War of the Ancients? Or is this just one of the things that's been in the pipeline for a while? Either way keep up the good work.
Don't worry! We'll be returning to the War of the Ancients in due time! I decided to shift focus to put the spotlight on Odyn ans the Trial of Valor raid. Suramar and the Climax of the War of the Ancients will be later this month or sometime in January. I really want to focus on Suramar in one of the videos so we're going to return to that chapter close to the Nighthold release.
Okay, that's good to know! And focusing on this topic while the Trial of Valor is still on everybody's mind was a smart move.
Nice vid as always :)
Odyn is the same sort of fanatical tyrant as the Prime "Mother of Light" that Illidan destroyed. Odyn betrayed both Hellya and his followers when he forcibly enslaved the unwilling Val'kyr for eternity in order to satisfy his own vision for the HoV. Not exactly my idea of a Good Guy.
Please do MIstweavers staff, Sheilun if you can! :D
Shall do! All the weapons will be completed, hopefully soon :)!
D: And we've been helping this guy? Well shit.
Odyn aggression happened a long time. Its not an 'excuse' but his goals today are still to protect Azeroth, even if his actions were questionable and morally wrong way back when. Almost no Vrykul remember the threat of forced servitude nowadays as its the goal of every single one of them to ascend to the Halls of Valor.
To the Crew of The Lost Codex: Stop with slacking and get back to work it takes you an eternity to make a video!!!
Understand that this is not our full time job and due to the global time difference between the Producer and Director, these videos do take time to produce. Most of our free time is channeled into these videos. An eternity, maybe, but we're working every moment we can during that eternity.
Spoiler alert: Odyn's a huge d-bag.
Love the video as always! Thanks for sharing!
So in other words Humans in Azeroth are Alien-Vikings-Flesh-Diseased-Titan-Forged-Automatons?
why is being a Valkyr so bad?
Its not explicitly stated why but some theories suggest that its because initially, none of the Titanforged Vrykul wanted to abandon their immortal metal-skinned states. Ferrying the souls of the dead wasn't seen as an 'honor' or full of 'glory' as it might be seen by todays Golden Val'kyr. While it gave them immense control over the powers of life and death, being taken from their metal, near-immortal bodies wasn't an ideal plan.
Something's changed since then with today's Vrykul. Likely more lore to come as Legion progresses!
Golden steel>sea weed
>This story will continue in a future episode
Yeah, maybe a year later.
I mean- we did just release that episode in December! We don't release episodes/series in order so we can spread content out. Odin episode part two is coming soon!
I've no idea why Blizz makes the player, (warriors especially) become a minion of Odyn when he is such a petulant bastard. It's really annoying when the lore contradicts the in game questing/plot
Way better than Nobbel
I dislike that we helped Odyn defeat Helya. Hopefully we get to kill him some day.
Without a doubt, Odyn's actions were selfish and cruel. But what Helya becomes isn't exactly the same Titanforged she once was. As much as Odyn's a complete dick, his overall mission was for the 'good' of Azeroth. I hope we don't kill him, but I do hope the other Keepers call him out for it. Shame Tyr wasn't around :/
Odyn was a dick, but Helya was outright evil.
Well, thats what happens when basically your father betrays you and damns you to ferry souls for his plan you highly disagreed with for eternity.
Helya's intentions were once apon a time not evil, but her hatred kept burning & got the better of her... eventually turning Vrykul into Kladvir / dragging their souls into Helheim against there will merely to spite Odyn; she became no better than he. So I suppose you could say they're bad as eachother; but Helya's reasons were for revenge where as Odyn's wasn't... But yeah lol
