Let him cook! Let him keep cooking!
This is a severely underrated channel.
Nobody likes to have to do it but he may have to lean in to the like and subscribe
I WAS THINKING THE SAME, how did I miss this
I agree
Ethereal playable race & Azshara lore?? sign me all the way up.
i would have prepared naga as a playable rase
There is no denying the fact that Azshara was more powerful than Aegwynn. She truly is one of the most powerful non-god characters ever to walk on Azeroth. She would make a huge difference for the defence of Azeroth.
Well non-god no more because if Loa are considered some sort of gods, she has become WAY more powerful and was already considered a demi-god by her naga, now she has ascended, so she's a god !
Goblin child's notes: Saving babies good!
She tried!
from your lips to Blizz's ears
As an Azshara fan, rhis video had me seated. I don't want to get my hopes up but DAMN, this sounds so good! Great content. Liked and subscribed!
I just want to buy the sparkly new Azshara poster to go beside Illidan, yknow?? 😂
Another great video. Really do deserve more subs. Better than most other lore makers and theory crafters out there.
Most appreciated!
You should listen to how pyromancer insults random people on his stream, it's hilarious and delirious
Hey! I did the Azshara model you put in 7:30 , it was very nice to see it in such a well done lore video, many thanks for crediting me :)
It's a remarkably Blizz-like model! All three I saw on your Artststation are. Hope great things for your path! And I'm glad you approve of its use haha
Xaxxas has made some of the best lore vids I have ever seen, not only the mind blowing lore but the pacing, the storytelling, the editing, top notch
Something in my bones has always made me love Azshara and imagine her returning as an ally of Azeroth. In the stories I create for myself on my day dreams, she's a returning character again and again, and even though she starts as an antagonist often, I can't help but eventually turn it around.
There was a lot I didn't know that I learnt from this video, and it amazes me there's so much dept and reasons she CAN really be an ally.
I don't want to get my hopes up but damn, I need this to be what happens in Midnight!
Dream on!
thank you youtube recommendation for this!
Thank YOU for tuning in!
I have such a funny feeling that you have blizzard insight information it's devouring my soul. Wonderful content
🟢 [Casting Eye of Kil'rogg]
Amazing content, compelling theories I hadn't seen anywhere else👍👍
More people need to see such quality content.
Make sure to share it 'round! 😉 Thank you ~
Underrated content and underrated channel. Here @ 1.5k subs. Hope you blow up soon :)
Means a lot to hear that! Thank you and I'm glad to have delivered 🤙
I just came across this video on my feed and I truly couldn’t agree more to this comment. You’ve gained yourself a new sub. So well done. 👏👏👏
Remember people even though steve danuser makes lore it does not mean he is the best at it.
this youtube channel shows the lore can be so much more interesting and deep then it currently is ingame.
Too kind! Metzen's holding the reins now though, so don't doubt Blizz's vision!
The amount of effort you put into these is incredible. The storyline, the graphics, the VOICEOVERS! Producing top quality content, can't wait for whats next!
THIS i've been brewing and brooding on this! and i just got here, my knowledge is scarce. Thank you for laying it all out!!
I'm glad you resonated with it, or if it helped you think through something more :)
I'm always creating a map in world editor that makes our Queen Azshara as an ally of Azeroth. I never thought that there's so much depth with her that it is beyond my comprehension. This is beautiful and makes me obsessed with her more. I'm your new subscriber!
Sounds like fun and cool work you're doing!
Now that azshara is no longer tied to nzoth, she can be completely unhinged! Another great vid sir, keep it up! Well researched and put together
Great video! I have always wondered why the story of Azshara is never told from the beginning but she is introduced directly as the queen of the Night Elves. This makes me think what her past could be and how did she manage to gain such power and authority in the society.
And you dear Sir, you have gained my sub!
That was really fun! I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
Holy cow this was pretty good!!! hope Blizzard can make this a reality!
Quite an interesting theory about Azshara's return not as a villan, but a hero. There are some connections with it that are sort of plausible ,that could go well, the one that kind of hit me was the sort of resemblance with Illidan. He did start of we thought he could be bad, but at end he was trying to prepare against the Legion. As for Azshara, to defeat but to prepare for the war of the Void in some sort (after we freed her from Ny'alotha). We still do not know how it will end up, hoping next year (2025) we will get info regarding the story Midnight.
Illidan, Arthas, Garrosh, etc- this franchise has always had loveable, villainous heroes!
@@_xaxxas An awesome video mate!Before i watched this video i had another thought in mind about the Child of Shadow and Light and the prophecy.
In the Alleria short novel they released where she went to Silvermoon to visit her son he showed her he has two tattoos of dragons on each hand one being Shadow and the other being Light.
I know Arator isnt a character they have explored alot but with Turalyon being his father and Alleria his mother i thought they might spin the title on him but if what you expanded on happens it might be even better!
I think Arator is cool, but not quite as Marketable as Azshara! The tattoo thing is a bit heavy-handed, and made me consider him more of a red-herring- but I could see it going either way!
@@_xaxxas Yeah Azshara has way more history and weight, Arators character is hardly explored through the whole story.People will mald if they make him a centre piece out of the blue and it wouldnt make sense beside his parents wielding both sides. Azshara indeed has bigger potential and history to succeed like Illidan did.Althou if they inserted little of the "Illidan" book lore ingame people would have seen the setup for his return in Legion.
That is what's interestring, most ancient elves were not fully bad or fully good. They're so old that they loose the concept of both. They start as grey. Illidan, Azshara, Tyrande, Malfurion, Maiev... They could easily be considered "good" and "bad"'.
This is so well done! Amazing episode.
I wish. I truly wish this is what Azshara could be. I always liked her as a character, and all that she represented for the lore. She can be so much more than just a patch boss.
She deserves the spotlight for once!
@@_xaxxas Definitely. She's the embodiment of everything that's good, bad, wrong, and amazing about WoW's elves. She's the single reason there are so many of them. And you say something that I definitely love about her: Pure, raw ambition, hunger for knowledge and power... but, at the same time, to uplift her people with her. She saw her empire as an extension of herself and, while she did truly horrible things, in the Warbringers video we see that she "cared". In a twisted way, but she cared.
Let's hope she can mature, see and understand her own mistakes, and become the champion you suggest. Or, at least, have her have the death she deserves: Not as a raid boss, but as the mother of all mistakes that made the modern world of Azeroth what it is, and let her have her a *Magnificent* end :b
@@Lorthein Beautifully said!
@@Lorthein Exactly ! Even when she offered her people to N'Zoth, which was a random move not really necessary for N'Zoth's plan, she did it because it was the only way to save them. She was loved by her people, people always forget that ! A ruler musn't be all pink, flowers and love, she did what she had to do at that time. And I'm so happy Xaxxas talked about Xavius, because he's the real baddy in the story, he was jealous of Azshara and wanted her downfall to finally be able to look her down as she did to him all these years.
@@Lortheinto be clear- Azshara had no desire to uplift her people with her. She let them die in droves even when they did not resist her and the Legion. She is a batshit insane narcissist.
What happened in Zin-Azshari prior to that cinematic, completely under her approval, is actively stated to be genocide. She has no redeeming qualities.
I would be happy to see her again:).
Incredible video! Super exciting to watch, and my mind is blown! Can't wait for more!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘
Insane video! You gained a subscriber!
It's funny this video comes out a bit after I make my post on wowreddit about Azshara beeing the new Kerrigan. She has always been an interesting character because despite beeing tagged as an ennemy and representing a faction we've been killing every expan, she has always been kinda grey. Finger crossed Azshara will become - or remain - the main character ! All of her titles are not for show, she's the one and only queen of Azeroth. Xal'atath is going to get her arse kicked :p !
Good comparison!
I just discovered this channel and it is by far the best wow content I've ever seen. You can feel it's born from true love for the game and it's world.
That means a lot to hear! Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy what more I put out going forward 😁
I just found your channel and omggg this was incredible!!! I loved this. I will definitely be checking out all your other videos 😍
Thank you for stopping by!
One of the best WoW lore theorists out there for sure! Hope you keep making more ❤
Honored! Got a handful of ideas in the works ~
This was great, immediate sub!
Props, my man!
Love your content and passion.
So glad I stumbled upon this channel 🎉! Although I don’t play anymore I love the lore…and you do it well!
nice work,cheers man
Your content is so fun to watch and interesting!
And you can tell a lot of love and passion has been put in all your vids!
It's been very fun, and it's great to hear the outcome is enjoyable/fun for others, too. Thank you!
Never thought of her but good points. I always thought the winter queen was the blue child
it's these sorts of theories and videos that made me love wow lore ❤ instant sub
So humbled to be able to provide that kind of experience! thank you ~
Wow this was the most epic thing I've seen since I started playing wow, at the tale end of legion expansion.
Haha that's so fun to hear! Thanks for watching
I hope we will get Azsharas head on a spike, as it getting tiersome to see another female character gets redeption arc when male character for the same crimes or even less gets butchered no questions ask
This video was soooo good 🤗💃🏻🫶🏻
Your stuff is amazing wow, got a new sub 1000000%
Welcome, and thank you!
Nethermancer sounds fucking awesome for a class and would make sense as a cloth class for ethereals
First video I have seen on this channel. Subbed after watching and now watching the other videos. Great presentation and the lore speculation is top notch. Hope to see your channel grow and be appreciated by more.
Thank you very much! Welcome welcome 😁
Insane quality!
🫡 always learning!
Subbed. Yep. This was great.
Cheers! Welcome aboard, hero!
Man that Suramar music smacks
mind blowing. tanx
🤯 and thank you!
Briliant hypothesis.
beaultiful video
This is Top-Tier content boiz.
I can't stand that sub count on your channel, terribly disproportionate to the quality of the videos.
Hey nearly 2k is more than an honor as it is, but thank you for the support and tuning in again!
You seriously need to get in contact with Chris Metzen, or at least one of Blizzard's historians. All the best to you and our shared worlds!
it looks like have found gold here, keep the good job this is top warcraft content
Cheers and will do! Appreciate the hype 👉
Yeah you don't see Anduin saving babies.
Took me 30 seconds to sub
Alt universe Draenor is going to be the last titan. Yrel and co. Incoming.
this is a great video
And you're great too ! Thanks a bunch for checking it out
Very interesting - wonder how much will turn out accurate.
Being wrong is part of the fun too! 😁
I mean, at this point if this isnt true cannon lore... Just make your own game bro... Based on this story alone... LIKE WOW. insane
Honored that you'd think so haha!
Wowww
Owl eyes shall be open opened
i have a question where did you find this model of ashara is it fan made and the same question aplies to the eatherals and lets not forget dimensious ?
I photoshopped Azshara's renewed form and Dimensius together from existing game assets ;) The Ethereals are pretty much are ingame and unedited (mild recolor).
@@_xaxxas ok thanks for the clarification i asked cause it looked real like straight out of the devs
I like it. I don’t really think Elune and azorath will be the same, unless you are using a Trinitarian Christian meaning of “one” where they are like the father and holy spiritual (or mother and elune) which would make the Naha queen Wow Jesus.
I think they are separate and azoroth is like Lovecraft and is dreaming reality, is the center of all, and must be in perfect balance of the base aspects of the universe. The pantheons are trying to sway reality towards their own ways, by corrupting her. However, I won’t be sad if blizzard does go the way you laid out here.
Something along those lines with the Trinitarian angle, I suppose I'd say. To quote The Embrace, "Out of the Lady's love for us, the Child, small and blue and marvelous, came into being." Sounds a bit like the begotten son concept.
Do we really need a nethermancer class when we already have shadow priest? I think that part was overreaching. Also the blue child represents Elune. She is the wayward sister to Winter Queen, a name which kinda resembles the white lady. Never understood why Winter Queen was called Winter Queen despite there was nothing about winter in her realm, but her being the white lady from the story makes sense now? Also you can see in Tyrande's Night Warrior arc that Winter Queen despite being angry towards Elune, she loves her deeply and misses her.
So yeah, what if Elune was originally from Shadowlands? But then she embarked on her hero's journey and traveled between realms. She visited our material realm and made connections with mortals, she made connections with titans through Eonar. She also made same connections with other mortals on other planets, as we learn during Shadowlands.
Here is another parallel for you people: The ancient Egyptian god Khonsu. He was the god of moon, time and knowledge. He was known as The Traveller. He gave up some part of his light to Thoth who is the other god of moon,time and knowledge after a wager, so one can assume he resembles the dark side of the moon. Who else represents the moon and has travelled to different planets to influence the mortals? ELUNE. She also gives some part of her light (power) to her chosen Night Warrior.
I really doubt Azshara will be redeemed but i can be wrong.
Wait, they making the glitch that made the blue child dissapear from the sky canon lorewise?.
They actually already did in the book that the The Embrace story is from, Folk & Fairytales of Azeroth, back in 2021, interestingly enough!
I want to believe.
- Playable Ethereal race.
... Man, I'm just not going to get my Ogres, ever, am I?
If they try and redeem Azshara, I might just book a flight to Cali to deck someone. Stop. Redeeming. MONSTERS!!
Monster ? Azshara ? No, you're mistaken. She was the hero of her people for a reason. Vanity doesn't make you a monster. Yes she did a mistake but she was not the brain of the plan, Xavius was ! When she realized what Sargeras wanted (the destruction of Azeroth), she tried to protect her people, in vain as seen in the cinematic. She was adored, loved, revered for good reasons, she was a good queen. Nobody was poor and no one was dying. If you think she's a monster then you didn't get what the character is about. A perfect ruler.
@@sylphephilippe449 I honestly can't tell if you're joking or honestly think that.
@@sylphephilippe449 She also saved her people from drowning by making the only deal she can, although in not so ideal conditions.
💙💙
nethermancer,can we just say sorcerers to be more coool!!!!
I could get behind that, but my Mage but get jealous! The Nethermancer name is derived from the Netherlight Temple and Crucible, both known for their balanced integration of Shadow & Light.
How do you explain the extistence of a Sun deitiy mentioned in The Tauren Mythology called An’She?
I come from a place in the world steeped in indigenous mythos, and for all of my love and admiration for/inspiration by these powerful stories, I have to recognize that there is after all, no literal Thunderbird. Raven did not literally bring The Sun into the sky. Instead, we infer lessons and wisdoms, finding the moral or symbol of the legend, and fold that understanding into the modern day. I think the Tauren recognize a bigger picture than the Night Elves with their reverence of The Sun as well as The Moon, but categorize it differently into a family dynamic for the sake of storytelling tradition. I don't think many of Azeroth's races are above this partial blindness of cultural perception.
Or, honestly if we're lucky, I'd be very keen on seeing a wholly new and unseen Solar deity, rather than having 'Elune' fill that role. It's just that so far, I see more hints as it is that she is the Solar deity, given the role of Balance.
@@_xaxxas Thank you for your clear and concise response. This is the first video of yours that I have watched and even tho I do not agree with everything you said the presentation, the editing and the fact that you take your time to reply in the comments suggests to me that this is a good You Tube chanell. I will surely watch all of your videos since this one was very interesting.
@@shadowgamer4306 Thank you for taking the time to ponder and question it, and I'm glad it was entertaining nonetheless!
so the blue child went down to azeroth and thats why she wasnt in the sky anymore im assuming, and i guess other gods or entities also went down there to maybe look for her or something.
Like all myths, there's room for flexibility. Whether it was one or the other, or both, I honestly could not pinpoint, but my inclination is that, based on her questions and specifics of her spoken travels, the Blue Child's spirit becomes a Mortal during her disappearance. A mortal that either already did, or will travel and learn from both Azeroth and the outer cosmos. I say "or will" because I'm leaning towards it being a meta-hint for us to interpret achronisticslly since it is presumably a reoccuring orbit, and not so much a literal story of Canon events bound to the past.
So for example, Azshara's return will likely not be marked by the literal Embrace of the two moons, as we already saw this event very recently ingame, and it is a very rarely occurring celestial conjuction.
And of course, our Blue Moon is currently present whilst Azshara is on her cosmos trip. That's why I emphasize the allegorical angle, and the fact that they leveraged the glitch into a Canon story at all had to be for a reason. :)
now that i watched this i may be disappointed if the story isnt laid out exactly like this rofl.
I don’t think she should be redeemed
they go the shadowlands
While I respect it I feel like this is way too close to Kerrigan's story for Blizz to do it again
But Metzen is a sucker for a good redemption arc.
3:19 we now know thr answer to that question lol, they go to the worst expansion we have ever had.
Wanted ethereals since TBC
They'd bring a lot of nostalgia!
If Azshara got redeemed I'd straight up burn Blizzard down. Can't say it won't happen after the Sylvanas asspull but ffs do no actions have consequences? One good deed or even just *deciding not to* do the unspeakable horror at the long end of unspeakable evils doesn't redeem you.
Another one (in dj Khaled voice) Great video. Too good for today Blizzard standard. I know this is out of passion for Warcraft, speculation and editing but you set the bar too high man. 😂
Imo blizzard will shit the bed with Zovaal 2.0 and not knowing their lore. But who knows now with Metzen back they might cook something at least 10% as good as this theory.
I have faith in the Worldsoul Saga and Metzens vision haha. Thank you kindly
Help I love Azshara
👑🌙 All hail the one true Queen!
Please Blizz, watch this video, the lore crafting is so much more interesting.
What if aleria new form is the embodiment of azshara
I think Alleria's new model and its resemblances of Tyrande's Night Warrior form are indicative of the shared source of power behind those forms. So more like Alleria's reveals Tyrande was probably using Elune's Void aspects, and I've themed my renewed Azshara form following suite, with the starry, celestial Tattoos.
Absolute schizo headcanon.
let me guess. Her soul was shattered, it wasn't her fault, she was misunderstood... hrm, this sounds familiar somehow.
Naaah, maybe think more like Anakin Skywalker's fall from grace into Darth Vader, and last minute return due to needing to protect something he loved. When asked, George Lucas will regard Anakin/Vader as The Chosen one who will bring balance to the force all the way up to his Death and redemption at the end of Return of the Jedi, despite having spent many years as a pathetic, evil man doing the Emperor's bidding. Luke's love for his father, and visa versa was what redeemed him, but it doesn't forgive his actions.
knowing the wow community, they will be pissed if she becomes good
In Azeroth, you either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become the hero. :]
Because it'd make no sense in the context of 90% of her lore and characterization. She sold the planet to Sargeras expecting it to kill all other elves because she viewed them as inferior being to her, she let Zin-Azshari even get partly purged. There is no redeeming qualities to work with, she's not even an imperialist for the gain of her people, she's just a narcissist.
Why do all wow villains get redemption… we fight them and expansion or so later are best buddies
Counterpoints: Arthas, Kel'thuzad, Deathwing, Cho'gall, Ragnaros, Lei Shen, Garrosh, Gul'dan, Archimonde, Xavius, Kil'jaeden, Sargeras, etc.
@@gregorhenry503 yeah but In time just wait they'll return and be our buddies in some way haha "Sargeras" still not off the cards to be a hero all along trying to stop the void or something. WoW is all about making friends and peace there isn't even a faction war anymore Horde vs alliance we now hold hands. The last expansion of Wow will be everyone best buddies so no need to fight
@@Corfield81 Not everyone we fight has to be a villain, or remain as such.
@@ddenozorno but Azshara is legitimately so much worse than almost all of them. She is single handedly one of the most evil motherfuckers in Azeroth. She is the only person so genuinely bigoted she made white supremacist ideas in Night elf society or actively believed in them by letting non pale, highborne elves get purged en mass purely because she believed they are inferior beings to her.
I loved your previous theories but i dont buy this one, aszhara becoming good is too dificult for me to see.
If she thought it would make her look good in the eyes of others though? Who knows, vanity will get the best of her perhaps.
queen azsharah is the best with sylvanas
Tyrande: No.
Lor’themar: No.
Thalyssra: No.
Veressa:No.
Alleria: No.
Malekith: WTF am I doing here…there are no elves on Azeroth! Just pathetic mutants…
What's up with the voice, lol
Azshara sure as hell does not need redemption, shes the epitome of what was wrong with the ancient elves and actovely fostered it into being worse.
Like, she is 100% a wasted character, ffs they wasted Tyrande for years in random half assed plots and ignored her in the patch for her narrative antithesis shes a polar opposite of. But redemption is the worst, WORST choice possible.
You wouldn't need healing if you weren't sick, in the same way one doesn't need redemption if they've never fell from grace! ;) I get your angle too, and it's the common take on her character so makes sense.
The passion of storytelling and effort in editing are commendable -- I just feel it's a huge stretch. The Monomyth is renowned for being infinitely applicable to a variety of storyarcs that forming your basis on it feels very Freshmen Analysis 101.
There's a definite bias to laying the blame for the War of the Ancients and the Sundering of the world (millions upon millions of deaths) solely on Xavius' feet here, which deprives Azshara of her own agency. The world was brought to the brink for her sheer vanity, and she's not regreted a single choice since - redeeming history's greatest mortal monster (Arthas, Gul'dan and Lei Shen wish they were half the tyrants and destroyers Azshara was) feels unnecessary, especially with the botch job of Sylvanas.
Azshara should and probably will return - yet pulling an Illidan for her sounds the worst way to take her character, we're missing iconic legacy villains in the setting.
I appreciate your thought-out response! Perhaps I could clarify on a few things you touched on, as a means to possibly remedy some of the issues with the presentation.
So the Monomyth angle was actually a very late addition to this theory as I built out the script, and not the basis of formation. I found it to be a fun coincidence at least worth mentioning, but it by no means sells the idea on its own.
And when it comes to Azshara's agency, I'd clarify my thinking around positioning Xaxius as the driving force for her downfall as compared to Emperor Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Would Anakin have fallen so irreparably far from grace without the nudges from Palpatine? Anakin still made many terrible choices, he failed to be a model Jedi as he was brash and selfish,, but he was courted into darkness just as much. I see people as corruptible, so perhaps I just pity Azshara for what she might have been if she hadn't become so entrenched in herself, and especially if she hadn't been additionally nudged towards Sargeras.
Thanks again for thinking about it enough to critique it, regardless :)
@@_xaxxas Huge respect for being a great sport, and I do wish you'll keep on making videos of this quality, even if I somewhat starkly posited disagreement!
I just do feel that Azshara had several millenia of aggrandizing her own view of herself and the world as the Kaldorei were conquering/butchering their way through the troll empires and essentially attaining world conquest for herself (few of it was unoccupied by that point, after all.) Xavius was a wicked type, but a type that wasn't likely atypical in Azshara's court to begin with - my understanding of the character was that she didn't require much convincing, and being beloved by her people rather than an argument for a more benevolent ruler who was corrupted meant much the opposite; the monster was made because she was loved by her people to such a degree.
Oh god, please no. I prefer her as an interesting villain and/or anti hero. The last thing Warcraft/WoW needs is another braindead snoozefest of a hero character. There are more than enough heroes already in this franchise who are all about spreading love and peace.
I could've stressed the Anti-Hero angle, but in this case, I'd imagine it would be more like that, not so much her characterization becoming Love and Peace. She just won't let Azeroth be consumed, that's where the heroism comes in.
Oh come on just leave the character alone
