- Established by the wise chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof and his stalwart tribe, Thunder Bluff overlooks the verdant land of Mulgore from atop a series of windswept mesas. Prior to the construction of the capital, the tauren had lived as nomads for countless generations, often under attack by marauding bands of centaur. With Thunder Bluff’s founding, however, the proud and good-spirited race was finally granted a permanent home.
Following Cairne’s death in a duel with Warchief Garrosh Hellscream, Thunder Bluff was briefly seized in a coup by Magatha Grimtotem and elements of her tribe. In retaliation, Cairne’s son, Baine, launched a brilliant counterattack using a fleet of zeppelins. After he strategically divided Magatha’s forces, Baine recaptured Thunder Bluff and assumed his role as the high chieftain of the tauren. Having recovered from the recent unrest, the capital is once again a bastion of peace and security for Kalimdor’s tauren.

Thunderbluff is a spiritual home. It's ironic to think how a computer generated fantasy land could make me feel so grounded and at peace.
Remember all the skeletons under the elevators? People would think they had time to jump on and whoosh!
Hahah! good times!
IsthmusPrime In Wrath I used to go there with my Shaman, duel people and then push them off with Thunderstorm ^^
Or all those poor Level 1 Taurnes with great names that would drown in the puddle in front of the forge
legends.
Yeah 😂
i remember the first time ever seeing wow, mulgore looked freaking huge with thunderbluff up in the distance, it seemed like it would just go on forever and i started to wonder where all the other races went. did they start at the other end of mulgore? after a couple of hours of watching a friend of mine play the game some guy helped us out with some quests around the later part of mulgore and showed us the way into the barrens. when i asked if this was still mulgore he told us to look at our map and damn.. i don't think my young mind was prepared for any of this. up to that point i as a dumb kid thought mulgore was wow. suddenly we were zooming out seeing kalimdor, azeroth and even a completely different planet out there in space. suddenly i realized the kind of experience we were getting into here and i was loving every second of it
Somthing I don't think people talk about alot is that moment when your new to wow and your exploring the starting zone, thinking that its soo big and expansive, and then you right click on the map either on accident or after a player told you to do it and you realize just how HUGE the world is. That moment is what got me hooked to the game. It was like magic.
Can completely relate to that, I remember fiirst taking the boat to Darkshore with my Draenei by accident, then taking the FP to Darnassus by mistake, it was then that the true size of World of Warcraft hit me. What a feeling...
@@LeprosuGnomemy noob ass did not know about portals to SW from DA (if they were even there at that point), so every time I started out as NE and leveled up to approx. lvl 10 I would undergo a journey Darnassus-Darkshore-Ashenvale-Barrens-Gadzetan ferry-Booty Bay-Stranglethorn Vale-Duskwood-Elwyn Forest-Stormwind and then I could start questing xD
similar thing occured when I switched over to BE, but then it was a portal from Silvermoon-Lordaeron and then a zeppelin to Orgrimmar :D
this is so pure, i don't think i was ever that innocent. For me it was the idea that the only thing leveling was yourself and that the world was one huge continuous map, blew my tiny mind
It was similar for me, too. When I started, I thought Mulgore was the whole world. I couldn't imagine much being outside of it in the game. I will never forget the feeling when I discovered Barrens and realizing Mulgore is just a small piece of the world.
Please man, don't you ever, ever think to delete these videos
Why would I do such a thing? :)
I deleted all my WoW Screenshots when I stopped playing out of spite and because I hated myself at that time for wasting so much time in this game. Today I hate myself for deleting so many many memories of this time. I had more than 800 screenshots from about 2 years :/
Still got all my Vanilla screenshots, havent missed an expansion yet!
have you considered rejoining?

4:37 best part of this awesome soundtrack.
This tune is always in my head.
That was exactly what i'v been looking for !!
i used to hear it alot in old thousand needles...
the feels when that part played... so nostalgic
I would literally zone in and out to try to get the game to play this song. lol
Yes! Loved this track so much and it wasn't on the soundtrack CD.
makes all my hairs stand on end
This game invokes such strong nostalgia, those were the days, lost 4 years to this awesome game, would do it all over
My most played Toon had 1 year 3 months and some like 13 days of played time. The second one has like 8 months. I lost 10 years to WoW and while I certainly missed out on other things due to this, you always miss out on something while doing something else. Now playing different Videos of Everness while working, despite having missed out on reallife things in these 10 years, my heart still aches as I can not play WoW nowadays, nor go back an do it again. These 10 years are not LOST by any means, as I highly doubt to feel such bittersweet pain by remebering other things at all.
No one in my family can understand me here, not even my brother who can still play the game, as he has no Kids and his GF does not want any.
the first city i ever got to in wow man i loved this place.
+Kwah Wulf For me it was Darnassus. I remember being very impressed by it. Mostly because of the music actually! Gotta make one soon.
When I went into warrior is terrace I stopped just for music
same, everytime came there to listen that location music.
Me too! nice :-)
Kwah Wulf my first ever race was tauren this music brings me so many memories, I fuckin love it !!!
My first WoW character. A Tauren Shaman. I truly did not care about stats or getting epic gear.
I was all too happy to help the nice old Tauren lady fetch some water from the well.
I didn't even RUN around Thunder Bluff. I walked. Spoke to everyone. Greeted them.
Damn I was happy.
Also, I learned later on that Tauren Shamans are pretty kickass. Which is a nice bonus. :D
Khanzeal You really missed the whole point of what I wrote.
You truly are an imbecile.
Khanzeal I truly could not care about your objective point of view on stats and what Horde races constitute the best for specific classes.
As stated before, you have completely missed the point of what I wrote. Which was that I enjoyed WoW just for the fun and thrill of it. Your opinion on the matter is completely unwarranted and ireelevant.
In other words, piss off. Grow a brain and start to use it. Be smarter, be better.
+Khanzeal you don't see the irony of calling him an autist, do you?
shaman will conquer again in classic :D
The year was 2005. I had just watched the chronicles of narnia movie. My dad had played Everquest but he made the transition to WOW. I often sat and watched him play for hours. I spent as much time with him as I could, since he was in the military he was often gone for months. After studying him play he finally let me play and create my own character. Since I had watched narnia earlier in the year I wanted to create a Tauren. In that movie , there is a Tauren like creature that fights for the white witch. Anyways I created a Tauren warrior and with the randomize name feature I went with Natoko. After going through much of the quests with ease I transitioned to crossroads. This is where I made my home. I loved the feel of the barrens. The flamingos, gazelles, lions, zhevra runners. This was before u could get a mount at level 20. You had to wait til level 40. I ran around for hours on end just killing everything in sight. Just as a young boy. Now here I am in college. 19 years old and haven't played wow in years. However I will always remember these sounds and the feelings of me as a young boy , just waiting for dad to get home to show him that he taught me well.
XoREALDEALoX That's amazing. This channel is filled with great memories like yours. Thanks for sharing.
Sir crazy enough my Tauren warrior is named Natoko and I'm venturing through Mulgore
I'm crying to this
I had the same experience as a child but with my brother, I would sit for hours to watch him play.
I love Mulgore and Thunder Bluff so much. Such a spiritual place.
I remember when I was level 5 or 10 walking to these giant hills and at the bottom of the elevator there were 2 level 70s on mounts and they had freaking shoulder pads. From that day on I was hooked.
Nikushoku Kei AND HELMETS!
haha yes and a long cape, not the short one that looked like an old rag
A true WoW fan that grew up with this game will feel me when i say that sometimes even today i just revisit these places only for the beautifull music and the nostalgic goosbumps ;( feels so sad and wonderful at the same time.. There was a time were many ppl consider making a shammy just cause of the early wolf form ;) or be alliance just to try out paladins thumbs up whoever feels me. May the dark lady watch over u :)
I really can't handle the nostalgia, i cried a million times while listening to wow music.... I just remember me when i was a 7 yo kid who didn't know how to play the game and so i walked across Teldrassil/Mulgore just to listen to the music and to explore a world i thought was so big i could explore forever.. And i was so fascinated by the spells, this year will be the 10th year of playing wow, it is so much more than a game for me, i really can't explain! (English is not my main language, sorry
@@nikolajovanovic9367 i had the same thing back then, really loved the old mulgore
As the taurens are my favorite ones, this is simply gold, thanks a lot man! Now I can code listening to my "homeland" music.
You're welcome! Now I have the "hulky tauren coding on a goblin laptop" image stuck in my head.
HAHAHAHA That's a good scene tho :)
taurens4life!
The most underrated capital city in all of Azeroth.
Damn right, my first character was a troll shaman and I hated org. The moment I stepped here I felt it was much more my style. Since trolls don’t really have a designated city, I’m happy that I get to choose to afk here :)
57:51 When i heard this theme again i remembered once when i was walking with my tauren in Thunderbluff.Ahhhh Thunderbluff a city high in the sky full with players...now empty like my soul,like Wow is now.I remember the city like use to be.Now everyone are in the new zones coming here just to train a skill or two.Everyone on the hurry to collect some new "epic" super-duper rare mount...i feel sorry for such people.They think they are playing the dream once Wow was but they are fooling themselves.Now Wow is pretty much this.Collecting mounts.
Stormwind still gets fairly crowded. :)
Idk in light's hope full of taurens.
Fox Mcloud it’s a capital city just like org. Thunder bluff isn’t
Try hardcore classic wow
I never realized how great the music was to this game. Brings back so many memories.
Thunder Bluff is a so underrated place! Seriously feels like the grandma i never visited enough!
so amazing brings me back to my 2005 tauren shaman what a legendary time it will forever be!
For me it was a Tauren Hunter in 2004. Now every summer around the same time I get this immense feeling of nostalgia!
Story in the discription, and classic World of Warcraft ambience and melody. You are the best man!
Thank you!
That music ... that feel that atmosphere ... i am proud to only play Tauren back at that time and still i love the tauren. I loved the old beginning area and the quests and the city. I could never leave thunder bluff without saying that i will come back. Thats my hometown ...
My childhood. man the feels..
2020: home sweet home, I'm back, /moo
Best place ever.
Powerful music!!! I love it! Thanks for sharing! I'm a pianist and I really appreciate your channel!
Thank you! Just to clarify again, I'm not the original composer. All credits for the music itself goes to extremely talented people at Blizzard. Specifically Russell Brower.
The passion and quality of the early World of Warcraft was amazing. This and Elwynn Forest are my favorites. You can tell the composer was really into it at the time he was making it, which you can really say about the recent efforts.
4:40 I always listen to that after finishing my workout in gym
I'll never forget that player made fire burning in the water. 17:55. Lmao long live WoW. 👍🤩👏 "🖤"
Agreed
4:45 begins the best soundtrack in WoW history.
Absolutely, yes
PixelHydra X the best piece of music ever...you are spot on...do you know if there is a longer version?
@@oneskeek839 It's called "The Walking 3". Here is the link: czcams.com/video/tpBsM-2Vw0U/video.html
@@SlickMR thank you sir
Amazing. But the link doesn't work . 😦
4:40 Ahhhhh the nostalgia. As a native, tauren is of course my favourite race. :D
Playing these tracks while doing real life tasks makes me think I am doing quests and helps me do them with vigor and excitement.
....for years, my guild set a camp fire and chill on a hunter rise, waiting queue for pvp's. So good memories, peaceful ambient and beautiful music.
Oh man, i am so much love your videos!!! They always help me remember the atmosphere this greatest game ever! I don`t play game now, but listen your videos every day!
+Игорь Гвоздев One of the reasons I wanted to make these videos in the first place is to give people a way to enjoy the ambience of the game outside the game itself. So yay :)
11:15 omg my favourite track..
so peaceful.. love it ♥
Thunderbluff and Silvermoon. Best places of the horde!
You are wrong!!

@@owencuddy6158 HAHAHA
I was standing at the top of Stonetalon Mountain and heard the music at 7:07. It reminds me of Native American music. It is my fave zone in wow since then. Thunder Bluff also has the same vibe.
these videos literally make me happy. bless you for making them
4:43 id just zone in and out of TB from Mulgore, just to listen to that bit
01:03 give me chills
Still remember the first day I played wow like it was yesterday. Such beautiful environment for a video game.
WOW was an amazing game. I will let nostalgia be nostalgia and not try to relive the experience.
As someone who grew up near a reservation and had several classmates who were tribe members, I love this city alot. Especially as I am in the PNW where the tribes near Puget sound have totems and lodges similar to the Tauren's.
Thank you so much for these, they help me write my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns! Lok'tar Ogar! May your blades never dull!
You're welcome! Roll well.
This makes me so happy - brings back so many great memories questing with my cousins for a summer when life was so simple - thank you so much!
Lovely. Simply marvelous. The description and this lovely music almost brought me to tears. For this, you have my thanks. ^^
I never told this to anyone before because well no one would believe me but once at around 3-4 am i was in TB working on the action house when i saw someone without a name tag on a flying wryven casually passing by me it was TBC and no fly mounts could be there.
I thought of that moment countless times since then in my life even after i quited wow.. i dont know why but that was something that marked me for life...! Maybe it was a bug maybe it was a GM but with all the power of my soul i know he was a real-life-ingame dude who didnt care about what blizzard allowed or not.
I wish i could speak with him maybe again at 3-4am inside the cave over the entrance of Wailing Caverns, just thinking what he would have to say to me brings tear to my eyes, but that will never hapen..
I will never forget you bro and i hope you are still somewhere out there roaming on the mountains and plains of Mulgore Barens and Durotar with your wryven far far away from all the expansions .. May the wind guide you my friend..
dont ever think or let someone tell you that it did not happen. dont lie to yourself, i believe you
3-4am is when `the curtain between you and true reality` is the thinnest, and add this shamanic sounding music ..maybe that flying guy was from alternative universe!
Remember in vanilla remember seeing a troll with a clown face paint. I know u could get masks back then but there wasn't any with clown paint. I did some research but came up with nothing.
Tauren and Night Elfs along with High Elfs are the most beautiful races I seen in Warcraft.
My first toon was a boomkin tauren when WotLK expansion was out. I love the atmosphere and music of the game, such happy memories!
This video is my refuge from stress during studying for university finals...God bless you, Everness! Love Thunder Bluff, the best place to hang out.
literally me.
I enjoy reading all your stories. May you be granted peace joy and a good health.
Tauren master race!
Yet you have a NE profile pic... lol
FALSE!
It is a well known fact that the DRAENEI are, in fact, the master race.

beef master meat
Mkhalil was my first character played as tauren warrior at TBC that time I was always in thunder bluff enjoying everything :( RIP old days ...
A small part of me (actually a large part given his size) remains with ToraToraTora, my Tauren hunter. Miss the game (ruined as soon as they started selling top level character upgrades) and miss my good online mates. Thanks for the memories.
Very relaxing to work to, your mixes have been a wonderful help when it comes down to writing my DnD campaign! Thank you for your work!
7:15 just wow, speechless
Reject Orgrimmar . embrace Thunder Bluff.
ethereal dancing cow.gif
miss this game so much, i was sad that i wasnt a noob for long, as i had a lot of pro friends who taught me and killed the game for me, but watching and listening to this reminds me of my early days, id pay to go back for a day :)
Oh man... This music brings all the memories
I would always go to thunder bluff rather then Orgrimmar. I loved the music the chills the view.
I love how the reverb of that note at 5:16 sounds almost exactly like a cow mooing.
Mulgore and Thunder Bluff hold a place in my heart, but I probably will never forgive Blizzard for killing Cairne and ravaging Mulgore. And Camp Taurajo. I wish I still had my Tauren druid and hunter, but Blizzard lost both somehow during MoP, along with another of my other characters that I had had since the beginning. The Tauren hunter was the second character I'd ever made in WoW.I felt like I'd been physically punched when I logged in and were simply....gone. No reason. Just gone. Data corruption or something. It took them 6 months to admit they couldn't bring them back. So with all that Cata did, and then what "data corruption" did, this is very bittersweet to listen to.
While a point of much ire in myself I accepted Cairnes loss as a part of the tapestry of Azeroths story. He was a pure manifestation of the true spirit of the Tauren race and was immortalized by his deeds and legacy to his people.
I haven't heard of characters being lost before I would probably suspect a
third party, but I can understand your reaction though, if my Tauren were
lost I can't imagine that I would ever return.
The way this game can hook somebody is not yet reached until today. You can become everything. It's only a matter of time. On and offline ❤️
It’s time to reject Orgimmar and embrace Thunder Bluff! 31:02
This video is a visual and auditory masterpiece!
I remember the first time I came up with the lift to TB with my very first character and an alliance raid was killing everybody in the city in front of me. I was like "nope" and went back with the lift. D:
Love this town. Tauren Hunter lvl 70
10:00 that starting to sound like Legion soundtrack in high mountain!! Although it's much more peaceful
probably some of my favorite music in the game
i loved the music in this zone so much I would always log out here while i was playing horde
Just let me forget and go back in time :(
That intro still gives me chills
I love the flutes/string instruments
man i was 11 years old ..i started playing in wotlk..already decade ago where is all the time gone..life is awful
This is my favorite starting area
The Earth Mother watch over us under cover of the night as in the day. Let this fire illuminate both our bodies and spirits and remind us of our honored ancestors, who are ever present and guiding our way.
Haven't played WoW since a few weeks after cataclysm came out, but I do miss it. As a Tauren Hunter main from day 1, this is really nice. Great videos, keep it up. I'm sure I'll be back :P
Thank you! I have quite a few of these planned ahead.
Awesome!
You earned yourself a sub. Well done sir.
I always loved this city, even as an Alliance player.
i played the ashenvale one as i went to sleep and woke up to this and just chilled in bed while watching the screen
This is what relaxing sounds like.
This was my favourite Horde city because it A) wasn't a sewer and B) it didn't make my computer lag
I used to love Tauren in Warcraft 3 and was playing Orcs faction only because of them. Once I found out in 2005 that in WOW they will be independent with they capital town in Mulgore I cannot describe how happy I was, it was like dream come true. And they were really the best... i played it for years. Spend thousands of hours in Mulgore and in Tauren comunities in Barrens, Thousand Needles etc.
1 dislike = 1 Alliance =/
Great video btw. I looped it without realizing it was tomorrow.
I remember fishing in that pond area for hours leveling my fishing good times. I also getting my kodo for the first time and aggroing all the mobs the memories love the horde!!!
Man I remember every single step from Bloodhoof village to Thunder Bluff and when I was staying under the TB I was interested in what is happening next to the cliff. Back in vanilla there was silver elite harpy lvl 11 which killed me by one hit :D. Vanilla was so cruel and but beatiful.
The Music of Mulgore really gets to me. My first character was a tauren warrior named Lalapala, which is an odd name to a warrior? Nevertheless, i accidently deleted him :(. RIP 2007.
Frederik Andersen if he was a high enough level there's a chance he's still in the database and could be restored. Look in the undelete tool, and if he's not there try writing a ticket.
rip
I miss Cairne. He was such a boss in WC3.
Honestly WOW lore ends for me in vanilla, with first DLC it started to be bullshit. So Cairne is still alive and ruling with his son Baine, at least for me.🙂
Absolutely love the music and scenery, this must have taken a lot of patience to capture. It also makes me wonder, how did you get such gentle-moving footage? I can't imagine this is done via first-person view? :)
A program that I use to detach the camera and set the waypoints, the speed, FoV, etc. A video like that needs about 3-4 hours of recording, about a single work day from start to finish. :)
Oh, cool! I knew there's UI mods, but nothing as advanced as that. I think your cinematography routes are chosen well, both in variety and their focus. They evoke and satisfy that flow of memories.
I've come across these initially for studying purposes, but I catch myself on occasion just silently watching. Thanks for taking your time to... encapsulate the essence of these places. It really is much more work than just throwing together an audio file with a background.
Sometimes we don't know what we want without someone making it first. These videos are an emotional goldmine ;)
That's a lot of very kind words. Thank you.
Nostalgia feeling is a blessing and a curse
Nice shots
Perfect
"Walk with the Earthmother"
i was just blown away the first time i was walking around this city, the first city i ever known during my free week of wow
Simplemente Hermoso .
4:30 one of the best piece of music in wow history !!!
Brilliant ! I am excited to see a Darnassus ambience, if you should do one !
Soon-ish. This week or the next one, I think. Stay tuned :)
No doubt the best one there is!!!
+Yuri Boltaks Out of all of those I've done? I actually had to remake the whole thing because I usually do 20 parts 3 minutes each but in this one it's 15 parts 4 minutes each. I couldn't find 20 good locations :)
*Thunder Bluff one of my favorites in wow wotlk :D*
So many channels with wow music, some of them just gaming music and not wow's. But your channel is one of the best! We're looking forward to some Draenor music ;)
+Angel V I am very glad to hear it :) Draenor music is actually a little bit tricky. There are no tracks like "Shadowmoon Valley Day 1", there are just long themes for different clans and races and whatnot. I honestly don't remember how I did Talador track. But I will most definitely do it at some point.
I grew up here!
Aah memories of being a young Tauren Druid.
Nicely done, great Wow soundtrack with it's nice city. :)
Thank you!
