Wow, Vol'jin fucked him up... Now the dude has to kill Gul'dan. Or is his target the Demon that stabbed him, in that case Vol'jin already killed him...

He actually has to find a cure for felblight or fel poisoning or whatever that wound was infected with... Maybe offering Vol'jin a meal would've been helpful. I heard that stuff can heal basically everything if given the time ^^.
where gul'than died i need to know . i heard about cinematic but i never found the place . and i mean gul'than from legion not that guy who died in warcraft 3
they are always doing that... there was a novel before wow started. and every time new Xpac comes out they r bringing us novel about half year before the xpac comes out.
I don't play Magic the Gathering, but I am listening to Limited Resources, a MtG Strategy podcast for 3 years now. It is just entertaining. It is just so funny when all their commercials are for MtG products and I am just like: "Wtf, I don't play that game."
I'm an Alliance player myself, but I have to admit that Vol'jin is (alongside Khadgar and a couple others) one of the best and most noble characters in the game. It was very sad to see him go when playing on my Horde alt. The thought of Tyrathan helping us defeat the Legion and Gul'dan, even if it takes his life in the process, seems very compelling. I hope to see him in the upcoming raids!
pst, you should check out nobbel87 for juicy lore Hiruma really good on finding random stuff (including lore) about World of Warcraft, but nobbel87 is the best at that particular topic (lore) They should collab or something. Hiruma knows that little thing WoW have that might help on Nobbel87's lore video
nobbel87 already talked about this "human" Tyrathan Khort in one of his videos, wasnt something randomly found by Hiruma that nobbel87 didnt know already
honestly. they could have pulled a "lord of the rings" mixed with "Game of thrones " movie off VERY well with all the lore they have in this game. and it could last AT LEAST 9 or even 10 season without slowing down too terribly.
With Blizzard confirming that there is more to Vol'jin's story at Blizzcon, I wonder if future story developments with Vol'jin will involve Tyrathan in some way. I certainly hope so.
Leaving him dead makes less sense than bringing him back at this point. Vol'jin's pretty much the only troll character who's gotten any development in the past 12 years of WoW, and with him gone, not only are the Darkspear left without any significant characters, they also (currently) don't have a racial leader. That coupled with the fact that his death was unceremonious and completely undeserving of the character. The fact that the cinematic and his funeral were more about Sylvanas than about him also speaks volume's about this. Plus the fact that his relationship with the Loa of DEATH, Bwonsamdi wasn't explored at all. Killing him off for good leaves a lot more plotholes and inconsistencies than the other way around. Out of a handful of other character deaths, Vol'jin's at the moment is the most plausible in returning.
If there are more trolls we would have seen them being developed during 5.3, which was a patch dedicated to the Darkspear Rebellion. In that patch, the only troll Blizzard bothered to give the spotlight to was Vol'jin. Every other Darkspear is insignificant and miles behind Vol'jin in terms of lore, and development. The only two who sort of "stand out" are Rokhan, who is criminally underused in WoW (Cameo in WotLK, generic questgiver in WoD, very brief one quest cameo in Legion), and Zen'tabra, who's essentially the troll version of Hamuul, and the main Darkspear troll class trainer. She's more neutral with the CC than she is Darkspear. It's also worth noting that neither of these two showed up at Vol'jin's funeral. Both characters, and every other Darkspear don't hold a candle to the amount of development Vol'jin had gotten. If Blizzard wanted to develop more trolls, they would have throughout the span of 12 years. He never died a first time though, we was just gravely wounded, and he recovered with the help of Chen, and the Shado-Pan. Post Broken Shore would have been his first death, but that shouldn't hinder the character's development, especially since he was given such an unceremonious "ending".
I may have some bias given I've played predominately Horde for 8 years, but I've always tried to keep up with the lore on both sides (Although I'm better familiar with Horde for obvious reasons). I will say, that after all this time, I'm truely shocked that Blizz hasn't given the Horde a little more love in the form of organization. For example, now that Vol'jin's gone, the Trolls have no racial leader, the orcs are still leaderless, and the Goblins are...pretty much the same (And Thrall even said Gallywix would only be leader 'for now'...right). Now that Sylvanas is leader of the Horde, I'm expecting more or less the same: She dies, then the Forsaken have no one then it'll be the Tauren's turn. During all this time I'm amazed Varok Saurfang didn't take up the lead for the Orcs or that Blizz didn't at least try to focus on developing another Troll lorewise. With the fabulous fanfare (Or lack thereof) Vol'jin got in WoD, his sudden death at the beginning of Legion, and Sylvanas suddenly getting the mantel after having so many issues herself with accepting her fate, him coming back makes some sense logically, but none from a real lore point of view. I mean, as maining a Forsaken Rogue for the majority of my WoW experience, I'm still mildly annoyed that she's suddenly leader. She barely gave a flying pig's loin about her people (us, the Forsaken) literally using us for her own revenge, she commits suicide for the sole reason that she didn't get to land the final blow to the Lich King, AND she's STILL trying to find ways to avoid her fate. Compare that to Vol'jin who LED THE REVOLUTION against Garrosh while she's bickering with Lor'themar about raising elves...and Vol'jin dies a very undramatic death while Varian dies a king's death... Sorry for the rant, but everything is screaming wtf is Blizz thinking? From logic to lore, it makes no sense to kill off a leader who was basically what to Horde Stands for just to give to mantle to a woman who gives a sh*t about everything but herself. Either they're really going to expand on Sylvanas's previous personality (Before her death) or they got some severe explaining to do.
totally agreed while ago i did not have the music on and when i did and took the time to read what the quest's is saying this game really brings out your imagination even in your sleep.
Well the game would be even better if there was more of this ingame. To show that the Alliance and the Horde and what races are in each, isnt as black and white, as the game wants you to think.
indeed, the game might not be as nice to play as it used to be, but the story is still a masterpiece. We can just hope blizz wont mess things up since Metzen has left.
I like that, I like the whole thing where the Alliance and Horde are not so different, sadly that opened the flood gates for the fucking peace between Alliance and Horde. Pretty much making what I like to do in the game pointless lol.
I didn't even notice him at the funeral.. honestly, I forgot all about him up until now. Absolutely loved that book.. MoP was very lore heavy and I loved every bit of it other than the endgame rep grinds to get anywhere.
Great video! Thanks alot. Thanks too for clarifying where all that story actually comes from, as I always think that's important in these kind of vids too.
Really good stuff, think this series is going to be very good for the channel! Perfect bite-size content :) Also, this character actually kinda made me feel sad, knowing how strongly they were bonded together. This alone makes me like Vol'Jin way more.
"Grew fond of each other" Somewhere, in the dark part of the internet (or maybe some screwed up fanfiction sites) theres a Tyrathan x Vol'jin yaoi going on.
this is a really nice lore story, I should really read the books. I'm a hunter main so I need to check him out in my order hall, I really hope he plays a major lore role when fighting some legion leaders (guldan maybe?).
Seasonal_clorox_bleach actually, I play a few classes.. and I think perfecting a BM hunter is actually reasonably hard compared to some other classes. (not saying it's hard, of course it's still a very simple class) I also play a fury warrior and it's easier than my bm hunter.
Vol'jin as been my favorite lore character since the WC III days. I honestly shed a few tears when he died. Seeing this lore brought out to light for those who haven't read the books makes me happy and sad at the same time. Great video!
Tyrathan is probably one of my favourite novel NPCs, and I'm extremely glad that Blizz put him in the game at Trueshot Lodge. I'm a bit upset that I missed seeing him at Vol'jin's funeral. I'm also glad that Tragg Highmountain had been put into the game as well. I really hope that both Tyrathan and Tragg get some role to play, even if it's a minor as them showing up repeatedly during quests.
I almost cried when I found Tyrathan at the funeral. Vol'jin: Shadow of the Horde is by far my favourite Wow-novel and I think it's really nice that they remembered this little piece of lore for the funeral.
thank you so much for this video. i read shadows of horde a few years ago and when vol'jin died i was completely heartbroken by the thought that him and tyrathan never said goodbye to each other. but now, i am really happy to know that tyrathan was actually there in his funeral. specially with tyrathan's story, i was really glad that he was vol'jin's friend. thank you.
Uh well this is awkward, but in the Broken Shore cinematic (Horde version) Vol'jin is stabbed by a random mob, which then gets cleaved by Vol'jin himself. So he doesn't have anything to avenge :p
***** Draenei are the Eredar that weren't corrupted by fel so I wouldn't call them Demons, they are more like the Orcs (or Fel Orcs). Beside that, yes there are different species of Demons and they can be called a race
Man I love wow lore. People ask me why is wow diffrent of other games and I tell them its the story and feeling I got when made first character. The joy of finding out something new even after 6 years of playing.
Loved the shadows of the horse novel, I was really happy to see him in the order hall. I was listening to the audio book at work and the part with the vision and the bond between the female Hunter seemed so casual but the guilt he felt made it seem so much more love was there.
I, like many others, have played wow since vanilla. at this point. I have to say i love what youre doing with all your videos. its what helps keep this great fictional universe so interesting and nostalgic. keep up the good work!
MOP was in fact one of the best addons ever made, there was a lot of content for both pve and pvp, lore wise we got a lot new characters, guess people are still bitching around because the cinematic trailer back then was a little childish
Oh yeah and pandas btw thats the main reason everyone was crying about mop, but then there was warlords and everyone realized how good mop really was...
He's not the only one who'd going to avenge Vol'jin's death. I've been wanting Vol'jin to take over as Warchief since Cataclysm and Garrosh showed he was still a broken idiot obsessed with his daddy issues. He's Warchief for ONE expansion and they kill him off to put that psychotic bint Sylvanas in the head seat. Freaking undead ruin everything.
Too bad voljin got killed by random fel Lord number 234079 and then proceeds to immediately kill it after being stabbed by it. That avenging promise is going to be hard to fulfil...
Except if Tyrathan really wanted to he could enter the twisting nether and destroy generic fel lord 234079's soul permanently. Lot of work for a generic mob tho.
Lol, true that, I mean, if they defeat the burning legion, in technicality, it would be keeping that promise still, as he died facing the burning legion, you could say helping defeat it is avenging him
isn't this awesome how this lore is literally something made up but its so cool and plays a very minor role in such a big picture. God i love this game
I read that book and I can see why Tyrathan was there. I'm glad he was there and I'm glad he's been included in the game. It was a well-written book detailing how a man and a troll, Alliance and Horde, could become not only allies but also good friends. The respect they had for each other is represented very well in this video. Thank you.
I remember saying the same thing about Tirion, until Uther gave him the most amazing set ever. Who knows, maybe Vol'jin will give him something more amazing!
As a lifelong Alliance player who hates most of the horde, that book made me respect Vol'jin. The rest of the Horde except for the Taurens and the confused Pandarans still suck, though.
I always thought the blood elves were interesting since they did teach some humans magic spells, without their help the way we see the story/game would be totally different. Great story about vol'jin!
While I never read the book, I knew of the story but the first time I seen him was something. Kinda wonder what he'll do next besides "hanging out" at the Hunter's lodge.
This is a great idea for your channel. I love videos shorts that encompass the story of a specific box or character from WoW. Sort of how Nobbel does with his hearthstone things. Good idea and keep up the great vids.
His bargain was kinda a cop-out tbh. Vol'jin basically told the loa that between the two of them they killed so many Zandalari that he could let this 1 human off the hook this 1 time.
Not entirely. Bwonsamdi agreed to let Tyrathan live, but that he had every intention of taking him back someday "soon". As for how long "soon" is to a Loa is completely up for speculation, and whether he means to take him by force or just let nature play out is also unknown.
Great summary of my novel. Thank you. I love the graphic summary! Fun thing about that book for me is that it is the only novel I’ve written that has no human point of view characters!
I was gonna say good luck to him in trying to find the random no name fel guard that killed Vol'jin but i remembered Vol'jin killed it as he died so...
man wow really has rich story at nearly every turn, as a new player it can be quite overwhelming, it's awesome to see these smaller stories being told (a lot of the time without the players knowledge)
I'm crying that was too funny the way he was just there.. I ain't even notice him either when I did the quest.. I love how he's just peeking over the rock like 👀... but anyways this is a really cool mini story.. makes me wanna get the book and read it now.
thank you from bringing some of the glory of the books to light to the just gamers I love the books and shadows of the Horde is one of my favorites ^__^ happy thanks giving
Cegesh but in honor of Bwonsamdi saving Vol'jin, he said he would honor him give sacrifices and rituals. So if you think of it Bwonsamdi is on a deal he gets more sacrifices rituals and in the end more souls/troll lives. In conclusion 1 troll to keep alive for a steady income of other trolls is a great deal for him.
It would be awesome if he killed sylvanas and maybe give Varok Saurfang a try at warchief. I know she didn't kill vol'jin, but I don't care, sylvanas is a strange choice for leader of the horde.
Peter Villent I seen the cutscene. I heard theories it could have been delusional demonic stuff due to the poison or old god whispers getting to him in his weakened state as well. Really, Blizz loves forgetting or backtracking on lore to sure their current needs. Vol'jin really hated her, and for good reason. She is a bad person.
Drake Winters Sure she is bad. But I don't think she will be Warchief for long, more like she is just a mean for a bigger goal. Or, she will acknowledge the rest of the Horde as her people and she will care for it like she did all she could to profit her forsaken. But Vol'jin due to bargain with Loa of Death should be protected by Loa from such things, for the price of the souls he slays for them.
This video was the most lore I've heard about Vol'jin in a long time. If he comes back, alright i guess that's ok, but if he doesn't I think they wasted the potential of a cool warchief. He like didn't really do anything. Sidenote here, Thrall has been pretty darn lackluster too. He was such a badass before.
I saw Varian die a hero death and almost cried, then I played my horde alt an saw Vol'jin die like a random unvaluable npc... Why the fuck they killed Vol'jin like that? fuck Blizzard for doing that. Varian death was more than enough why kill Vol'jin too and in that shitty way :'(
A friend gifted me that book for a birthday years ago. Never got around to reading it, but as soon as you mentioned Vol'jin in Pandaria, I knew this story had to be in said book. Guess I'm reading it next.
love the little bits of lore like this since I can't always read the book. shadows is o e I still need to read. yet another reason why it's good to read the books if you can. awesome video. keep it up!
Found this video on my home page, I didn't even know there was a human there. So I watch about 12 seconds of the video, think "Huh, I know that name, where have I heard it before?" Then it hit me! That is SO cool! I loved that character. I love how they slip in the book characters like that :D
Just found your channel this morning and man it's so awesome! Love it! Great story telling. I am easily distracted and you kept my attention the whole time.
Wow, Vol'jin fucked him up... Now the dude has to kill Gul'dan. Or is his target the Demon that stabbed him, in that case Vol'jin already killed him...

where gul'than died i need to know . i heard about cinematic but i never found the place . and i mean gul'than from legion not that guy who died in warcraft 3
angelgrozd same gul'dan different timelines timey wimey wolbbly stuff
angelgrozd *spoiler* he will die at the end of the nighthold raid (you can find the cinematic on wowhead)*spoiler*
I can't believe they actually tied this in from the novel.
they are always doing that... there was a novel before wow started. and every time new Xpac comes out they r bringing us novel about half year before the xpac comes out.
blizzard is so good at building upon their lore its amazing. just wish they would tie a few loose ends though.
Did you mean: Warlords of Draenor?
And yet there is no Vandel in the Illidari...come on, Blizzard. What's up with that?
Actually he does turn up in the Legionfall Champion Quest for Demon hunters.
I dont even fucking play wow. why do i keep watching these videos lol.
Maybe something deep inside you wants you to play... do it, you don't have to pay unless you're interested.
I don't play Magic the Gathering, but I am listening to Limited Resources, a MtG Strategy podcast for 3 years now. It is just entertaining.
It is just so funny when all their commercials are for MtG products and I am just like: "Wtf, I don't play that game."
same here, i watch a lot of heartstone and LoL videos of "best plays" even tho i dont play them and i dont even understand what is going on lol.
wow is more than a game, wow is a amazing history.
agree i stoped playing wow long time ago,but still i keep up with lore and everything else
I'm an Alliance player myself, but I have to admit that Vol'jin is (alongside Khadgar and a couple others) one of the best and most noble characters in the game. It was very sad to see him go when playing on my Horde alt.
The thought of Tyrathan helping us defeat the Legion and Gul'dan, even if it takes his life in the process, seems very compelling. I hope to see him in the upcoming raids!
I just want to see him there when we take down Gul'dan, like Lorewalker Cho was there when we did a bunch of Pandaren raids. Just something like that.
ZzBoltQxx2 it doesnt matter if you switc sides though, bhadgar is a sanctuary camper, waiting to prey on the unsuspecting world saver
For the Horde!!!!! What is alliance? Haha
We miss him dearly 😢😭 darkspeares never die.
Vol'jin and Khadgar? Boring
I much prefer ones like Ysera and Malfurion. Yes, I was annoyed that Lizzard killed off Ysera after a 5-minute questline
Holy shiz, it's Tyrathan Khort......he came for the funeral....how'd I miss that.
because he was a sneaky boi
thats some really nice lore ive never even spotted was there, thanks for sharing the story :)
pst, you should check out nobbel87 for juicy lore
Hiruma really good on finding random stuff (including lore) about World of Warcraft, but nobbel87 is the best at that particular topic (lore)
They should collab or something. Hiruma knows that little thing WoW have that might help on Nobbel87's lore video
nobbel87 already talked about this "human" Tyrathan Khort in one of his videos, wasnt something randomly found by Hiruma that nobbel87 didnt know already
I hate nobbel's accent.
Ciprian Tarta never visit Holland then
fucking hate nobbel's accent too
I love hearing little bits of side lore like this!
Side lore but this could be a movie title alone! WoW is such a great game...
honestly. they could have pulled a "lord of the rings" mixed with "Game of thrones " movie off VERY well with all the lore they have in this game. and it could last AT LEAST 9 or even 10 season without slowing down too terribly.
some odd reason that made me sad
Beautiful bromance! :)
they're more than that, they are Brothers!
"Bro Lovers"
There is a Warcraft book called Voljin Shadow Hunter which tells this story in more detail
Nothing really gay about it.
*Nothing Gayyy*

With Blizzard confirming that there is more to Vol'jin's story at Blizzcon, I wonder if future story developments with Vol'jin will involve Tyrathan in some way. I certainly hope so.

please tell me how amazing zul'jin was story wise :). also, trolls are known to transcend death, i.e. Gara'jal
Dude needs to just stay in hes constantly nearly dieing the whole time.
😆
Crazy how Blizzard keep doing such a good work with thoses little details
This is why warcraft is so good
totally agreed while ago i did not have the music on and when i did and took the time to read what the quest's is saying this game really brings out your imagination even in your sleep.
Well the game would be even better if there was more of this ingame. To show that the Alliance and the Horde and what races are in each, isnt as black and white, as the game wants you to think.

WoW = Trash.

They already fucked up the lore big time.
And they are rehashing it just to shit on the ones who know the true lore.
i was wondering what' up with that guy in my class hall, thanks for the explanation!
God damn it, I wish I looked around more carefully when I did the event, I fucking loved their little friendship/rivalry in the book.
this just shows, on a crazy level. Deep down either Horde or Alliance, the races of Azeroth aren't so different.
That's basically what WoW's been all about... ever since Warcraft 3.
But Orcs and Draenei are respectively from Draenor and Argus. So... they are different? :P
Bär Honigfeld
You realize that's kinda racist, right?
I like that, I like the whole thing where the Alliance and Horde are not so different, sadly that opened the flood gates for the fucking peace between Alliance and Horde. Pretty much making what I like to do in the game pointless lol.
+Boybandhair lets be real here WPvP in WoD was basically non canon i think Wpvp being non canon wouldnt take away from it.
I didn't even notice him at the funeral.. honestly, I forgot all about him up until now.
Absolutely loved that book.. MoP was very lore heavy and I loved every bit of it other than the endgame rep grinds to get anywhere.
Great video! Thanks alot. Thanks too for clarifying where all that story actually comes from, as I always think that's important in these kind of vids too.
Fun fact: you really mean "a lot", not "alot".
fun fact taliesin means whatever he says he means
Tali was here,, very nice ,,now 30 min speculations video about tyrathan's future :D
Really good stuff, think this series is going to be very good for the channel! Perfect bite-size content :)
Also, this character actually kinda made me feel sad, knowing how strongly they were bonded together. This alone makes me like Vol'Jin way more.
soo many Stories on this fcking game xD
Murky :D
Neykton blizzard have maded a galaxy
Neykton everyone has stories
Meanwhile, Bungie doesn't' have the time to explain why the race you chose is important in a short 1 min video...
the stories are what keep me in this game. love all the the different stories in this game.
"Grew fond of each other"
Somewhere, in the dark part of the internet (or maybe some screwed up fanfiction sites) theres a Tyrathan x Vol'jin yaoi going on.
Fanfiction : Allow us to introduce ourselves
Rule 34, m'friend. If it exists, there's porn about it on the internet. Fanfic often upholds Rule 34 when all else fails. Hee.
Found it: archiveofourown.org/works/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&work_search%5Bquery%5D=Tyrathan%2FVol%27jin
Told ya. ;D
this is a really nice lore story, I should really read the books.
I'm a hunter main so I need to check him out in my order hall, I really hope he plays a major lore role when fighting some legion leaders (guldan maybe?).
Boots guldan's dead.....or will die at the end of the night hold raid by illidan
manoj joshi uh .. yeah? thats what im talking about.
he can pull a lich king fight and come out when he's at 2% and shoot his eye out.
If you've not seen the Nighthold cinematic, sadly that is not what happens. Hopefully he'll join us on Argus tho.
Jonathan Borg o aw
Seasonal_clorox_bleach actually, I play a few classes.. and I think perfecting a BM hunter is actually reasonably hard compared to some other classes. (not saying it's hard, of course it's still a very simple class)
I also play a fury warrior and it's easier than my bm hunter.
Vol'jin as been my favorite lore character since the WC III days. I honestly shed a few tears when he died. Seeing this lore brought out to light for those who haven't read the books makes me happy and sad at the same time. Great video!
Quite an interesting character hope blizzard makes some more things with him
Tyrathan is probably one of my favourite novel NPCs, and I'm extremely glad that Blizz put him in the game at Trueshot Lodge. I'm a bit upset that I missed seeing him at Vol'jin's funeral. I'm also glad that Tragg Highmountain had been put into the game as well. I really hope that both Tyrathan and Tragg get some role to play, even if it's a minor as them showing up repeatedly during quests.
And you got me as a new follower because I was really curious about this guy and never got to pick up the book before my monies became scarce. Thanks!
I almost cried when I found Tyrathan at the funeral. Vol'jin: Shadow of the Horde is by far my favourite Wow-novel and I think it's really nice that they remembered this little piece of lore for the funeral.
thank you so much for this video. i read shadows of horde a few years ago and when vol'jin died i was completely heartbroken by the thought that him and tyrathan never said goodbye to each other. but now, i am really happy to know that tyrathan was actually there in his funeral. specially with tyrathan's story, i was really glad that he was vol'jin's friend. thank you.
why do i feel like i want to cry
Shadows of the Horde Vol'Jin is one of the best books. When I saw him finally in game I nearly teared up.
Tyrathan needs to install MogIt and find some better boots, they don't match at all.
His bow too is really ugly with this mog, he is so noob
Also, wtf is wrong with my eye's / that zandalari's armor? xD
hey look, it's the WoW Fashion Police.... AGAIN.
XD yep
hey look, its the sarcasm police
Uh well this is awkward, but in the Broken Shore cinematic (Horde version) Vol'jin is stabbed by a random mob, which then gets cleaved by Vol'jin himself. So he doesn't have anything to avenge :p
Whole Burning Legion to slay, as it was Legion that killed Vol'Jin.
And with the death of Varian the aliance will be open for the skilled leaders.
"Whole Burning Legion to slay, as it was Legion that killed Vol'Jin."
That's racism :p
Burning Legion is not a race :P
Thats armyist
***** Draenei are the Eredar that weren't corrupted by fel so I wouldn't call them Demons, they are more like the Orcs (or Fel Orcs).
Beside that, yes there are different species of Demons and they can be called a race
I owe that troll my life :D
Yep. In the end Vol'jin ended up trolling him, because Vol'jin already killed the demon who stabbed him.
a troll will always be a troll no matter what tusk or bow he use
Man I love wow lore. People ask me why is wow diffrent of other games and I tell them its the story and feeling I got when made first character. The joy of finding out something new even after 6 years of playing.
Loved the shadows of the horse novel, I was really happy to see him in the order hall. I was listening to the audio book at work and the part with the vision and the bond between the female Hunter seemed so casual but the guilt he felt made it seem so much more love was there.
I, like many others, have played wow since vanilla. at this point. I have to say i love what youre doing with all your videos. its what helps keep this great fictional universe so interesting and nostalgic. keep up the good work!
Hiru, you're the best lore guy in my opinion. Keep it up I love it.
Well, nobel is nobel but yeah I'd say they share the throne.
Heeeellloooo evrone, I laugh so hard everytime Nobel say that :))
nobel
lol
What a good friend
MOP is one of the best expansion i truly enjoyed after TBC. I wish i had appreciated it more.
Schubert Aloysius You are the only person I have ever seen say that. Most I know hated MoP.
There are plenty who enjoyed MOP xD
MOP was in fact one of the best addons ever made, there was a lot of content for both pve and pvp, lore wise we got a lot new characters, guess people are still bitching around because the cinematic trailer back then was a little childish
Oh yeah and pandas btw thats the main reason everyone was crying about mop, but then there was warlords and everyone realized how good mop really was...
MOP was one of the best.
What an amazing story, I liked Vol'jin already but this made me respect my (sadly passed away) leader even more!
He's not the only one who'd going to avenge Vol'jin's death.
I've been wanting Vol'jin to take over as Warchief since Cataclysm and Garrosh showed he was still a broken idiot obsessed with his daddy issues. He's Warchief for ONE expansion and they kill him off to put that psychotic bint Sylvanas in the head seat.
Freaking undead ruin everything.
feminists not the undead
Maddog3060 Its fanservice for all the thirsty fanboys who worship Sylvanas as their girlfriend.
Welp, Sylvanas is the main villain of next expansion. Pretty much confirmed.
Too bad voljin got killed by random fel Lord number 234079 and then proceeds to immediately kill it after being stabbed by it. That avenging promise is going to be hard to fulfil...
Except if Tyrathan really wanted to he could enter the twisting nether and destroy generic fel lord 234079's soul permanently. Lot of work for a generic mob tho.
Lol, true that, I mean, if they defeat the burning legion, in technicality, it would be keeping that promise still, as he died facing the burning legion, you could say helping defeat it is avenging him
I'm sure he'd just see defeating the Burning Legion in general as upholding that promise.
I wish that Voljin would appeared in Tyrathan's dream as like Sen'jin in Vol'jin's dream.
Ridwan N M so we get human shaman???
Awww the bromance is real.
Thank you for this video, really love little shortstories like this.
isn't this awesome how this lore is literally something made up but its so cool and plays a very minor role in such a big picture. God i love this game
yeah Story-wise WoW does such an amazing job
I NEVER knew about this lone NPC, never noticed him! Seriously awesome story, thank you so much for making a video about it! For the Horde!
I read that book and I can see why Tyrathan was there. I'm glad he was there and I'm glad he's been included in the game.
It was a well-written book detailing how a man and a troll, Alliance and Horde, could become not only allies but also good friends. The respect they had for each other is represented very well in this video. Thank you.
This Tyrathan needs some transmog guides..
I remember saying the same thing about Tirion, until Uther gave him the most amazing set ever. Who knows, maybe Vol'jin will give him something more amazing!
As a lifelong Alliance player who hates most of the horde, that book made me respect Vol'jin. The rest of the Horde except for the Taurens and the confused Pandarans still suck, though.
At least I'm not the only one who likes Alliance more :D
Daswolfen dirty alliance dog
I always thought the blood elves were interesting since they did teach some humans magic spells, without their help the way we see the story/game would be totally different.
Great story about vol'jin!
Daswolfen why expect beef men?
Nonexistanthuman dirty alliance dog
My favorite story by far in the game, soooo awesome yet so depressing but in the end im so glad he makes right on his promise to Vol'jin
Short stories like these are awesome.
Lore is so deep. I love it.
While I never read the book, I knew of the story but the first time I seen him was something. Kinda wonder what he'll do next besides "hanging out" at the Hunter's lodge.
hes gonna become the first "Demon Hunter Hunter' Lol
Sorry had to :P
hahahahahahahaha
What an awesome story. If only more members of both Horde and Alliance felt that way
This is a great idea for your channel. I love videos shorts that encompass the story of a specific box or character from WoW. Sort of how Nobbel does with his hearthstone things. Good idea and keep up the great vids.
What was the bargain he made though?
His bargain was kinda a cop-out tbh. Vol'jin basically told the loa that between the two of them they killed so many Zandalari that he could let this 1 human off the hook this 1 time.
+Gogetters im sure you have also escaped death countless times ehh ;)?
hirumaredx blizz could of done something great aswell its a shame
Not entirely. Bwonsamdi agreed to let Tyrathan live, but that he had every intention of taking him back someday "soon".
As for how long "soon" is to a Loa is completely up for speculation, and whether he means to take him by force or just let nature play out is also unknown.
***** thats hawt
Broketusk Vol'Jin Mountain.
Great summary of my novel. Thank you. I love the graphic summary! Fun thing about that book for me is that it is the only novel I’ve written that has no human point of view characters!
This book was actually a pretty good one, and glad to see Tyrathan in game. Hope something comes of it eventually!
Finally I found out who he was thanks Hirumaredx
he'd better do a tirion-esque last hit on a boss in the tomb of sargeras. i don't wanna see them just scrap this.
i love the behind-the-scenes lore like this. thanks for this video. was pretty awesome.
Wow, thanks! I love the lore in this game, and these kind of videos will be an awesome addition!
Said at 1:00 "during the events of the 4.1 escalation" believe you mean 5.1
ah shit, your right
Your're
You're*
5.3*
+Glob
+SendarSlayer
No, it is his right.
I am sad I didn't find him. I was always sad that they paid no homage to this character, and when they finally did I missed it.
This channel set a new and high standard for high quality content
Excellent video, so well made
And that character will DEF play a big role it seems
I love small side stories of wow love it love it love it
whaaaaaaaat I kept wondering why that guy was in the hunter order hall and his dialogue. Wow. haha.
That is pretty awesome! Never knew that. No matter what has become of WoW the lore is still so solid.
Loved this video. No boring intro, jumped straight into the topic. Liked and subscribed
I wonder if Blizzard will actually make him relevant and give him a lore part in WoW somehow, aside from just being in hunter order hall.
he is the friend of vol'jin, who he saved or other way around, in short they went in short and long together
ha. MOBA references.
XAXAXAXAXA
OMG I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. Great video dude, was so much fun to listen to You!
tyvm for sharing this! I love it when the devs put this kind of detail in the game. ty again!
Interesting!
Feels man.
Great vid as always hiru! keep up the good work!
OMG YOU USED A RE ZERO BACKGROUND PIC I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE NOW!!!!!
Love it! Thanks for bringing this friendship to light.
There is no X in escape.
I was gonna say good luck to him in trying to find the random no name fel guard that killed Vol'jin but i remembered Vol'jin killed it as he died so...
Something tells me he's gonna be front and center when we take down the Legion
Wayne Reuter the cinematic of night hold got leaked and illdan killed guldan so he's probably gonna fight along side us and avenge voljin
man wow really has rich story at nearly every turn, as a new player it can be quite overwhelming, it's awesome to see these smaller stories being told (a lot of the time without the players knowledge)
I really liked this video, didn't know about Tyrathan so thanks for informing me!
now i'm sad :(
Man I miss WoW :(
Jack Robbo ?
Quirrel CZ ?
I'm crying that was too funny the way he was just there.. I ain't even notice him either when I did the quest.. I love how he's just peeking over the rock like 👀... but anyways this is a really cool mini story.. makes me wanna get the book and read it now.
thank you from bringing some of the glory of the books to light to the just gamers I love the books and shadows of the Horde is one of my favorites ^__^ happy thanks giving
2:36 good friends, maybe even,.. lovers.
Why didn't the Loa save Vol'jin though? They were willing enough to save a random human stranger, but not Vol'jin?
Perhaps that's the pact he made with them. To save Tyrathan now, in exchange for Vol'jin's life/soul when the time came.
Zernolph El Gath Bad writing.
Cegesh but in honor of Bwonsamdi saving Vol'jin, he said he would honor him give sacrifices and rituals. So if you think of it Bwonsamdi is on a deal he gets more sacrifices rituals and in the end more souls/troll lives. In conclusion 1 troll to keep alive for a steady income of other trolls is a great deal for him.
Because part of worshipping an entity of Death is accepting the passing of your soul to them after your life is done.
I'm glad they put him there, Vol'jin grew a lot as a character as a result of meeting Tyrathan
that was awesome. thank you. i love these fleshing out the world events.
It would be awesome if he killed sylvanas and maybe give Varok Saurfang a try at warchief. I know she didn't kill vol'jin, but I don't care, sylvanas is a strange choice for leader of the horde.
Loa themself whispered to Vol'jin ears to pass the leadership to her.
Peter Villent I seen the cutscene. I heard theories it could have been delusional demonic stuff due to the poison or old god whispers getting to him in his weakened state as well. Really, Blizz loves forgetting or backtracking on lore to sure their current needs. Vol'jin really hated her, and for good reason. She is a bad person.
Drake Winters
Sure she is bad. But I don't think she will be Warchief for long, more like she is just a mean for a bigger goal. Or, she will acknowledge the rest of the Horde as her people and she will care for it like she did all she could to profit her forsaken.
But Vol'jin due to bargain with Loa of Death should be protected by Loa from such things, for the price of the souls he slays for them.
This video was the most lore I've heard about Vol'jin in a long time. If he comes back, alright i guess that's ok, but if he doesn't I think they wasted the potential of a cool warchief. He like didn't really do anything. Sidenote here, Thrall has been pretty darn lackluster too. He was such a badass before.
+Drake Winters lol he wouldnt even touch her
Plot twist, Voljin and Tyrathan were lovers
OH EM GEE STAHHP ET~
Broketusk mountain
Shut up son of gul'dan
I saw Varian die a hero death and almost cried, then I played my horde alt an saw Vol'jin die like a random unvaluable npc... Why the fuck they killed Vol'jin like that? fuck Blizzard for doing that. Varian death was more than enough why kill Vol'jin too and in that shitty way :'(
It shows in WoW, just like in life, a pawn can checkmate a king.
Naptosis that was deep man
+udlock9 Vol'jin is a troll.
Voljin was close to the Bwonsamdi... Loa of the dead. He might still return in some kind of shape... undead... spirit... ressurected... new Loa...
The only racists these days are people who see racism in things and everything that doesn't even closely resemble racism. Get the fuck out.
A friend gifted me that book for a birthday years ago. Never got around to reading it, but as soon as you mentioned Vol'jin in Pandaria, I knew this story had to be in said book. Guess I'm reading it next.
love the little bits of lore like this since I can't always read the book. shadows is o e I still need to read. yet another reason why it's good to read the books if you can. awesome video. keep it up!
I really liked this video, loved Vol'jin and miss him.
Thanks for making this:)
Found this video on my home page, I didn't even know there was a human there. So I watch about 12 seconds of the video, think "Huh, I know that name, where have I heard it before?" Then it hit me! That is SO cool! I loved that character. I love how they slip in the book characters like that :D
Just found your channel this morning and man it's so awesome! Love it! Great story telling. I am easily distracted and you kept my attention the whole time.
