It's interesting how the Alliance changed during Classic. With Lordaeron destroyed, the old Alliance pretty much split into Garithos' army that was used and wiped out by the Forsaken, and the remnants of the Silver Hand lead by Alexandros Mograine. After Mograine's death, the order split into the Scarlet Crusade and the Argent Dawn.
Meanwhile, Stormwind becomes the head of the new Alliance and rallies together the dwarves, the gnomes and even the night elves, after the Horde began chopping down Ashenvale. The Alliance was still weak at the time, with Stormwind under political pressure, Ironforge having trouble with the Dark Irons, Gnomeregan lost to radiation and the Darnassus dealing with Old God corruption. It was thanks to leaders like Bolvar and Jaina that the Alliance survived. The Alliance eventually regained its full strength with the return of Varian Wrynn and the fall of the Lich King.
All this made me realise how silly the Warcraft timeline actually is. In the past 50 or so years (period from WC1 to BFA) there have been more near world ending catastrophies than in the 9000 years of Azeroth history before that combined.
After the War of the Ancients there have been a few conflicts, mostly lesser ones.
But in recent Azeroth History there has been: 2 Orcish invasions, a zombie plague, a demonic invasion that killed the world tree, Ragnaros trying to kill everyone, Hakkar the Soulflayer, C'Thun being released, Kil'Jaeden being summoned at the Sunwell, Scourge invasions, Malygos going mad, Yogg Saron getting freed, Algalon the Observer nearly exterminatusing the entire planet, The Cataclysm and the Hour of Twilight stuff, Ragnaros returning, Garrosh being corrupted by Old Gods and turning genocidal, Iron Horde invasion, ANOTHER Legion invasion, the Emerald Nightmare and death of a dragon aspect, the planet being stabbed by a giant sword, and now we have another Warchief with a Old Gods artifact and the return of N'Zoth. And I probably am forgetting quite a few.
Verdius the real story here is that you only just realised that. Imo we are long overdue for a WoW 2 or WC4 but that would be investments and risks that you are not gonna get the corporate side of activision blizzard to agree to. In some ways it’s fair enough, in others, well at least we get classic now and can safely abandon BFA.
@@MartialArtzz "safely abandon BFA." wtf i dont give more than 1y for classic to fall into oblivion
Well thing is there is a lot of things that we have no infos about fro the 10k betwin war of anvients and war1. For exemple we have infos about the blood plague nearly wiping out the zandalari, or the council of tribes wars etc... but we have no infos about this in chronnicles meaning there is lot of others things missing
All of those threats are ultimately due to one of two root causes: Sargerus and the Burning Legion or The Old Gods. In fact given that Sargerus' goal was to build a unified force to fight the Void and The Old Gods seem to be servants on the void - one could argue that there is only one threat with the other events merely being battles in a war that is too big for the people of the Warcraft Universe to perceive.
@@TheMichael769 Very true!
Also, Sargeras is ultimately the result of the Old Gods aswell. Since Azeroth is the most powerful titan soul every, they're pretty eager to get her on thier side.
My favorite part of all of vanilla was the onyxia quest chain and watching Bolvar go Beast mode and Slaughter all thoes Disguised Black dragons in stormwind keep, he was such an underrated character at the time
Warrior and paladin combined. True master class.
@@TheParez now he’s warrior paladin and death knight. The man’s a beast!
I've watched you since you explained The Light and really got into the lore videos (from what I see on your channel) and I love it all! Thanks for the videos and letting us appreciate the story that is the tales of World of Warcraft!
The mightiest heroes decked out in shadow/fire/frost resistant gear.... Made me laugh 😂
Nature/fire/Frost *
I always like these lore videos from you, Nobbel. Thank you for still doing these to us! 👍😊
So much lore packed into one video. An excellent summary.
I had no idea Moira was so involved behind the scenes of Vanilla, that just makes her all the cooler. Also another questline worth looking into is the Battle of Darrowshire questline.
all the plaguelands quests are great
sorry but it is so hard for me to understand this guys accent. It almost sounds like a ai voice that skips forward too fast at times lol. Tabatttabbataabbaaaptaaaba
Love your lore content. All of it is so well done. Doing lore this extensive can prove difficult to weave together in such a way that all viewers are enthralled by it. So much detail and so little space with which it can be placed. Youve woven together the precise points of interest from the lore and discarded the less than needed information quite well. This is one of the best videos ive ever seen on CZcams. Thank You for your contributions to the platform~!!!
I never realised that the voice in the original introduction is the voice of Maiev!
Wow me neither! :O
Oh snap! Good catch!
Damn you never noticed that?
Sounded like Lady Sylvanas to me
She was my favorite character in WC3 so I was stoked when I heard it back in the day thinking she'd be somewhere in game. Took a while for her to actually show up but at least they let us fight alongside her!
Re watching this with season of discovery out now. Very great job. Classic has so much lore I think that’s part of the reason we all love it so much
"They entered with their nature resistance gear..." Ahahahahahhahahahahaahahahahaha! OMG so true. Well done putting those fun spritedarter eggs in for us old timers. Well done as always good sir. This makes almost want to go back to classic.... almost. .... probably not.
It's amazing, try it out!
@@fipeke it really is amazing (:
I was not planning to play classic as I played it back in 2004 as vanilla. However, after watching this, I might actually do so. GREAT JOB!!!
That into music always puts a smile on my face
*Archimond invades Azeroth*
*Night elves contemplate giving up immortality*
Thanos: A small price to pay for salvation
Big Tree: *BOOM*
Again, i have to tell you, as a returning player who hasn't played since wrath, these vids are priceless. Thankyou - POWER TO THE FORSAKEN!
It took me 12 years, to realize that is Maiev's voice actress in the Classic/vanilla cinematic. Well, don't I feel silly
Oh man, I just can't wait for Classic to come out, I'm so hyped
This is a nice summary. I recently read the three volumes of Warcraft Chronicle. It is so good. The stuff for vanillia WOW would be in volume three. The other books go deeper in ancient times. Reading all three books gives me a good idea of what is going on. There are basically three waves of Burning Crusade invasions into Azeroth. The Burning Crusade is a group of Demons, who are the bad guys. The biggest leader is Sargaras. This guy really reminds me of Satan. He started out as a Titan. Titans are the godlike people that bring order and creation to the worlds. In the begining of history, Sargaras betrayed his titan brethren and joined the demons. He formed a Burning Legion. It is like how Satan changed from an angel of God to being the leader of the demons and the big bad of the Bible. In volume one, the demons try to invade Azeroth on their own. It didn't work because the Night Elves and their woodland allies fought back. It also broke Azeroth from one huge landmass into multiple continents. It is like plate tectonics. In volume two, the demons try currupting the orcs of outland. The orcs can invade Azeroth first, and weaken the defenders. This group was called the Horde. Then the demons would invade. That didn't work. The Allience fought back. Part of the problem is that the orcs succumbed to infighting. In volume three, the demons use the zombies to aid in thier invasion. Zombies are mindless and loyal, and so wont succumb to infighting. They form a group called the Scourge. Both the zombies and the demons try out thier invasion. This doesn't work. Part of it is due to the Allience fighting back again. Another is that former minions gain independence and fight back. The orcs gain independence, and form a new Horde. Later on, some of the zombies gain independence and join the orcs. The new Horde and the Allience are enemies of each other. Yet both fight back against the demons and their zombies. It is in this war that world of Warcraft occurs.
I would like to do a basic breakdown of geography. This is so one can have a general idea of what is going on in different places. There are two continents, Eastern Kingdoms and Kalmidor. Then each of them can be roughly subdivided to three parts. There is north, middle and south. I find that the northern areas have lore about the main conflicts. Northern Eastern Kingdoms has the homeland of the Forsaken (independent zombies), the blood elves and the worgen (werewolves). It used to be the home of most human nations. Then this became the main place where the zombies invaded. Human succumbed to the invasion and became more zombies. Some of them however turned to werewolves or remained human. Northern Kalmidor has the homeland of the night elves and the drenei (aliens). This became the main place where the demons invaded. Then there is the middle of the continents. There are some more things going on. Middle Eastern Kingdoms have the dwarves and gnomes. They are just doing their own thing. The major event is that some dwarves summoned a fire elemental. It made certain places volcanic. This area not only has bad dwarves, but it also has orcs and dragons. Middle Kalmidor has some homelands. It is the home of the orcs, tauren and trolls. There is also a place of humans, from the northern part of Eastern Kingdoms. Then the southern parts of the continents have things that go back further in time. The southern Eastern Kingdoms is the last mighty human homeland. If one creates a new human, they start out here. This place has the portal where the first Horde came in. This is the second of the three main invasions. The southern Kalmidor is the most remote area in Vanilla. It is far away from any starting area. It also has bizzare lore. This is the only place in the vanilla zones that houses an old god. The old gods are tenticle monsters. They look like something out of Lovecraft. Maybe that is a case of Lovecraft and Warcraft going together. Anyway the tenticle monster has its own bug people. They are an anchient threat to Azaroth. Bug people come in different kind with different names. The ones in southern Kalmidor that stand out are the Slithids. This anchient threat brings out something interesting interesting about the Demons. The demons are not pure evil, even though they may seem that way. There is something good to them. The demons are good at fighting against the tentacle monsters. The origional motivation of Sargeras ( Warcraft Satan) was to get rid of the tenticle monsters. He was willing to destroy worlds if it meant that the world was safe from the curruption of the tenticle monsters. I wonder if this was the grand finale of Vanilla. The raid with the bugs and tenticle monster was a huge event. There were so many people that it shut down servers. There is a whole holiday about it later. I didn't play until the first expansion so I don't know for sure.
That is Warcraft lore in a nutshell. I hope this helps.
i really remember her saying "10 years have passed..."
I believe Tavok is right.
You probably have it mixed up with part of the illidari introductory cinematics because Maiev was in that cinematic.
Who is she jw?
@@mikebeje6650 sylvannas
17 years have passed...
Oh damn so cool that you've done this! I'm eager to watch it!
Can you please do one of these on all of the major expansions.
i second this notion..
It has been 2 years since I watched one of your videos. I love you man
Thoroughly enjoyed this - Thank You.
05:39
"beautiful being"
I love you Nobbel, thank you for the greatest lore videos
One of my favorite lore videos of any game
Absolutely love all your stories! Your voice and inflection make it all the better!
Id love videos for every expansion! Good summary, more like: amazing
A few questlines I would add to your list that are definitely worth checking out.
The Battle of Darrowshire
The Scythe of Elune
It's a Secret for Everybody
The whole Ras Frostwhisper questline starting with Doctor Krastinov the Butcher outside Scholomance.
The Missing Diplomat
Onyxia Attunement chains (both factions)
is also awesome. not major lorewise but still awesome.
Man, so many things newer players take for granted that they will maybe miss in classic. Tbh, after this video I am more looking forward to it than I was before.
Thanks for the reminder. I've played Warcraft since Orcs & Humans. I love the game, loved the lore. I am seriously considering WoW Classic.
Appreciate the subtitles!
I played classic, but man, I never knew the lore behind the dungeons and I knew very little about Alliance lore. Can't wait to revisit it all again, and try out raiding this time!
As always .. impressive work !
The Howling Vale (Alliance quest chain many miss that starts in Ashenvale and takes you travelling to learn the fate of a priestess and about the nature of the worgen.)
The Missing Diplomat (Alliance quest chain that is a sequel to The defias brotherhood.)
Dragonkin Menace (Alliance quest chain that is a sequel to The Missing Diplomat.)
To Winterspring! (Alliance quest chain that gives you a trinket that kills you when you equip it.)
It's a secret to everybody (Zelda quest chain)
Sweet Amber (Hidden level 40 alliance quest chain in westfall)
Little Pamela (Remember Darrowshire)
Forces of Jaedenar (This is ofc a joke, only a masochist would go down into the shadow hold not once, not twice, but 5 times.)
You need to add the quest for Darrowshire. It got a song for a reason. :)
Awesome video so excited for classic!
I don't think I was aware that Deathwing was the cause of Stormwind not paying Van Cleef. Was wondering what their excuse was.
Yeah Katrana Prestor (Onyxia) pretty much manipulated the nobles. Pretty stupid no one noticed lol
@@alternatez3225 She was probably using magic and charming them with her fake human aspect lol.
I dont think its included in this video (i didnt watch it all lol) but deathwing actually has a really damn cool story that blizz decided to leave out of the game. In beta i think it was, instead of katrana prestor/onyxia they had a char named daval prestor in her place. He did a whole bunch of super subtle but very important things (look up his wiki page its seriously awesome!). Basically, through his manipulation, he convinced lordaeron to go to war with the king of alterac, then further convinced people to elect him as king of alterac (he still is to this day lol). He also was promised arthas's sisters hand in marriage, but that obviously fell through because of the whole plague thing.
Deathwing fucked with the alliance nobilty a lot, at one point, he was disguised as a human noble, and almost married Arthas older sister.
Is death wing Onyxia and Nefarians father? So Nefarians line "I did what my father could not" is about him
Love watching lore vids before I play ^_^
I need more Videos Nobbel!!
Just in time for the daily wind down before bed.
Great watch, enjoyed it!
As a person who played WC3 but not classic Wow this video is great, i was so confused when i started WoW and there were 3 warchiefs
Kill me Pete
Not sure if I have super listening powers or everyone else just sucks at it. I can understand him perfectly fine. English is my first language. Then if I couldn't understand him due to how fast he speaks, my brain would tell me to slow the videos speed down a little in the videos options. Do that much for yourselves cause this is the best lore content on YT by far.
Thanks for this!
I love your content nobbel, as always accurate and well written, but I think I need to correct you here:
on 9:20, I'm not certain if you are implying that the summoning of archimonde made arthas lose power, but that was not what happened. What happened was that illidan was trying to kill the LK, with a spell that would torn Northrend apart, while on process of the ritual, his brother sensed this rupture of the earth and stopped him in time. But this spell was not a complete failure, it breached the LK's frozen throne a bit, enough to make him bleed, thus making Arthas lose his power bit by bit and losing control over his minions, sylvanas included.
I´m kinda disappointed you didnt make the Infinity War reference at 11:30 by saying the Thanos line "A small price to pay for salvation", i was like OMG hes gonna say it! But still, great vid as always :-)
pretty much all the quests on the plaguelands are awesome, hard, and heart breaking as you can see the true horrors of the scourge
i love how you made a point of mentioning resistance gear cause not many new players really understand just how important that stuff was in classic
The entire Silverpine forest quest area. Best area I game to this day
12:08 Run you free spirit! You have returned home!
Best intro for a video game. Ever.
This video was perfect. Thanks.
Also how is Mekkatorque still king. He's the reason 80% of the gnomes were killed
please more classic lore!!
I have been really enjoying your videos and I noticed that some of the videos were a little... different than what it is now. Have you considered to doing a remastered version of videos from Classic-Cataclysm, doing a similar fashion as you did with the videos with Mists - Battle for Azeroth.
Also, an exiled Tirion Fordring awaits champions to cross his path in Eastern Plaguelands so he can have them convince his son to leave the Scarlet Crusade.
8:36 to finish that statement with a much better fitting quote ... your own reaction
she did an oopsie with a powerslide directly into frostmourne
HBO / Netflix / Amazon need to pick this stuff up… Arthas & Sylvanas storylines (with Frostmourne vs. Ashbringer, Uther, Jaina, Muradin, Ner'zhul and Naxxramas)… Thrall & Varian storylines… (maybe start here, expanding from the movie, with Rexxar, Rehgar, Saurfang, Fordring, Onyxia, Defias Brotherhood, SI:7) Secretly nerding out for something like this to come around...
Yeah a woke retcon live action show sounds great
fun fact in silverpine forest on retail you can do the quest sylvanas explains how she hates artha's so much she will do anything to kill him how he took her life from her sister
You should totally do the prophecies of mosh'aru!
came here from the allcraft chat. to be fair, I new viewer to your guys' circle
I wish classic told its lore better, can play through the game multiple times and not know most of this, one good thing retail developed was more individual and solo feeling lore quests where you have cut scenes etc especially for you that immerse you in the story more than a wall of quest text
Also isn't one of the quests for staghelm the morrow grain which people spam for rep for the nelf mount, I heard he was using the morrow grain to help keep malfurion tramped in the dream
"talking about them would take all day long" Hey Nobbel, I don't mind ;)
17:50 even Speedwagon was suprised
You're awesome Nobbel. Keep up the great work.
Are you going to talk about the 3 quests you said to check out next?
Awesome video, love the outline of the timeline. But as a native english speaker I found it a bit difficult to follow without subtitles.
For example, at 14:20 you make a transition and I get completely lost
I kinda want the old style of raids where you needed resistance gear to begin progression. I have such fond memories of MC BWL aq40 and naxx. Today's raids are great like I'm not knocking them I just think they miss the flavor of resistance gear.
I remember seeing Shadowglen for the first time, and having my breath taken away. I came from EverQuest, and the graphics were so elevated in comparison at the time lol.
EQ2 had amazing graphics back then. Maybe too amazing since you needed hardware that didn't exist yet to max them out lol. Still, even at lower settings, it was pretty impressive. I'll never forget how mind blowing the boat ride to the isle of refuge was.
@@Ekinoxe EQ2 is still one of my favorite games to this day
@@Booksn0b Yeah same for me. I played regularly for well over 10 years. Now I still log in sporadically but everyone I knew is gone and I'm 2 expansions behind progress wise so it's a bit discouraging lol.
@@Ekinoxe Plane of Magic (Planes of Prophecy) is gorgeous, I did a tour video of the zone, and the music on my channel. I've been playing since release on, and off. My mains are Wispie (evil), and Haeily (good) on Maj'Dul for whenever you come back. :)
@@Booksn0b oh I love your videos, I subscribed. I'm pretty sure I had a character on Maj'dul. My mains used to be on Unrest, now Halls of Fate after the merger, all of them are from Freeport. Nhemesis (warlock), Kayhen (SK) and Ekinoxe (Necro). I do have a bunch of characters level 95 and over but those are the ones I played the most. My lock has been my main since launch. Admittedly I'm not too keen on his name anymore but nostalgia is stopping me from renaming him haha. Anyway, sorry for boring you with all the details lol. I'll definitely stop by your server and say hi next time I get online, which should be sometime this week.
3 months... I can’t wait
Love ur vids even tho haven’t played wow in Ages
Also, Warcraft 3 reforged will be out sometime this year to play the original campaign, if the old game is a little too dated for somebody's tastes
O man...this comment .....srry WC3
@@rondiggitydawg2010 yee
I missed the times when night elves were ancient wise and strong beings. Respectable, now theyre human's pets
They finally started to go abck to their roots with Tyrande finally turning into a butcher again:D
Night Elves have not been "ancient wise and strong beings. Respectable..." since The Great Sundering...
Maybe you get a chance to check out and talk about the Book of Ur, a rare drop in felwood, that detailed how to summon worgen into Azeroth.
Klony
Book of Ur is a quest in SFK, you pick up the quest in Undercity. Would love to hear him talk about it!
@@Mason_____ Is that so? A friend of mine talked about how he dropped it in Felwood... or was it ABOUT the War of the Satyr in Felwood? Maybe I got that confused. I never actually got to play Classic but I'm definitely rolling an undead rogue after I've done the race to Naxxramas. :D
Klony nah you can check on wowdb that book of ur is a low level 20 quest in shadowfang keep. The Felwood Book to go kill satrys is another cool quest that you do in early 50s
Playing a mage for soon to be classic release. My main goal is to get atiesh. Oh boy the grinds coming boys.
I’m going human for the extra mana gen with spirit. gnome might be better but I’d like the mana early on.(I’m doing alliance cause my guild mates will be)
Rise of the Qiraji in Tanaris, Ungoro crater and Silithus is kinda missing
Love his voice
18:35 god Gelbins original voice sounds like a fan dub
ALL voices in vanilla sounded terrible. I still remember the unenthusiastic "hello there" from human males. XD
@@cvanims well unless they were voiced by metzen. Honestly it really does explain why they had him voice EVERYONE
@@ConnorNotyerbidness I think it was just such an ambitious project that they had to cut corners, so they probably just had the dev team record some lines.
Even in Warcraft 3 most of the voice acting was stale and kind of hushed, and there wasn't really a standard to meet for MMOs yet - at the time voice acting wasn't even a thing in most of them.
If you havent done the Shaman water totem quest, have you really experienced WOW vanilla
would be cool if they put Varian's story in game like a massive quest line.
Garrosh's story literally was the precendent for WoD and they couldn't even be bothered to put his trial and escpae in the game. They're just so lazy.
That said, it's different with Classic since they were making a huge world from scratch.
That nostalgic mambo jambo
If they make thrall warchief again I'm re subbing
I'll resub when classic servers release.
Afaik, they're not. They're gunna make a third, neutral faction that will be led by Thrall. Unconfirmed of course, all speculation at this point.
I think the alternative would be that they'll just regurgitate MoP, have him come back to take down Sylvanas, appoint Saurfang and then he'll just bugger off again.
Please do this story by expansion for every expansion to BFA. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Where did he get the information about lady Katrana Prestor at 12:45 like is that from a book or somewhere in game or somewhere else? I'd love to know so I could check it out myself since he said it happens off screen :)
Chronicles volume 3 mentions it, but the warcraft comics have the most details.
Nobbel87 thank you! Any idea where I could get the comics? Or how much they are?
@@jdogman101NEOF Not sure if they still have the comics in print so I'd recommend googling around, see if there are any stores nearby or second hand sellers. They go from volume 0 to 25
Anyone know who the narrator from the classic opening screen is suppose to be? Is it just a narrator or is it character in the series?
Little did we know a Warlock out of all classes, got the corrupted ashbringer
a quest chain i really recomend is darrowshire
I remember it. It is quite enjoyable indeed.
what is that scene at 8:20?
Yes.
"Together. They're going to do the impossible. Stack up on nature resistance gear-"
Just a few more hours!!!!!
Ah nostalgia.
In terms of lore chronology how many years has it been since classic all the way to now?
My guess would be 8-10 years.
15?
opening of dark portal was year 0, battle of mount hiyal year 21. 4 years after that would be year 25 for classic. 1 year per expansion makes 7 extra years so year 32 ish.
@@Nobbel87 Didn't a couple expansions last 2 years in-universe? I seem to remember WotLK being 2 years, and there was a bit of a time jump between ICC/RS and Cata
@@Dessarius From the ultimate visual guide timeline it seems like WotlK took 1 year. Between cata and pandaria there's a 2 year gap! So 33 ISH. Timeline isn't that consistent sadly.
I am in love with you. I mean... your videos.
Can you make a lore about Doctor Weavil plz
5:05 Haha how ironic that the gullible deceived heroes would eventually help to summon the Blood God Hakkar.
Turn on Captions. Set speed to 0.75. Profit.
Hi Nobbel! I am a new wow player and I'm really interested in the lore of this game but I struggle to follow the main storyline since levelling its too fast! I know it may be a gameplay question but according to you how can I follow the lore while playing considering the levelling problem which cause me to leave entire expansions without playing them?
Had this question before and it's going to be difficult, especially since classic has been transformed with the cataclysm and some stuff has been taken out. Best advice I've come up with so far is to look up the patch released and try to play the game as if you were going through the different patches.

@@Nobbel87 Thank you nobbel! I think I will hit max level asap then go back to precedent expansions zones, complete all the quests step by step :D
More Classic stuff please.
Ok so I've made a decision to read all WoW books. Any recommendations in which order to read them or any kind of tips?

.... you get the message :)
Chronicles volume 1,2 & 3 will give you an overview of the most up to date story. Pretty much anything that happened from the dawn of the creation to the end of the cataclysm. Besides that it's really what you're interested in. Personal favorites would be the war of the ancients trilogy, Thrall:Lord of the clans and Arthas: Rise of the Lich King.
Yeah that's probably better than my idea, though you should still read illidan
