- After many months of preparation, the time to assault the Nighthold has finally come! We, the Keepers of the Lost Codex, have prepared a special debriefing on the city's history, as well as the foes and allies you are likely to encounter.
From the glorious days of the Kaldorei Empire to the devastating end of the War of the Ancients, we'll explore the long history of Suramar and the pivotal role it played in both the Legions first and most recent invasion.
Settle in as we journey ten thousand years into the past...

Congrats on being put on the Battle.net launcher
"Dammit Gul'dan!"
*Gul'dammit.*
well. i said "gul'done" after this raid
And after his defeat, Guldan's followers will start greeting each other as Gul'dMorning in secret
Reminds me of the actually INTERESTING player variations. There's an Illidammit and a Illidamnson running around. if I see an orc warlock named Guldammit I will laugh my ass off.
Gul'shit!
Your video is on the Bnet launcher! You've made it man!
its cool blizz is recognizing wow youtubers
Plot twist, they work for Blizzard.
So you have a shield around your city that protected you the 1st time the Legion came knocking, it protected you from the devastation of the Cataclysm when the entire continent was ripped apart, but now the Legion comes back and says "Lower the shield or we'll kill you all..." and you all of the sudden lose faith in your shield?? Wtf Elisande?
Maybe they feared the realization of their loved ones being killed? Maybe they were scared? Or was sick of being sealed away and wanted to explore?
The answer is the arcway. Though 10 millennia had blocked many tunnels under Suramar, it opened up just as many faults and weak points that their shield didn't or couldn't cover. Many quests show the Legion had already found their ways into those passages which led straight up to the civilian quarters. The best option Elisande had was to concede for now until she found a time way where she could save her people.
A new lore channel is always nice.
I have a feeling the nightborn will be the next neutral playable race
I want their sexy outfits as transmogs.
no thank you, sounds like the easy choice since they are basically nightelves with darker skin.... unless they comes with a new "spellblade", "astromancer" or "time manipuator" class that is
Spellblade would be a really cool 4th mage spec, and I like the idea of a time mage as well but that kind of crosses too much onto arcane's identity imo.
a name well I think they should be a separate classes, not new specs
Either them or maybe the Vrykul.
Great job editing and enjoyed the video. Sub earned.
As if Blizzard them self would have made this, marvelous!
Oh man, an 11 minute Lost Codex episode?!?!!? Yessssssssss
5:58
Not going to lie, I thought Thalyssra was holding a chicken leg for a few seconds xD
All I can say? Amazing. Simply, amazing. Please keep this up, the presentation and synopsis is phenomenal. If you ever get bored, maybe you could do old raids as well?
I was expecting something like this at the end, after it started to go - You know the place, you know the bad guys.
"Do you want to know more?" - ala StarshipTroopers
I am so glad I clicked on that link to this.
The quality of this is fantastic! Well done
nice!!!! This video is featured on the B.Net interface
First time seeing one of your videos. LOVED it! I didn't think I'd give this video more than three minutes of my attention, but I was hooked the entire duration. The animation, narration, everything about it was engaging. Got a new subscriber. :)
Do one for each zone! Your art and work is beautiful!
Finally some high quality content compared to Nobbel's.
Yes! I personally cannot stand Nobbel's videos. I love the lore, and he just bothers me for several reasons.
Great video! Concisely explained in a story fashion which was fun to watch :)
Incredibly edited video, love these videos keep doing it!
The way you did the debriefing of the mission was FANTASTIC! That was such a cool way to go over each boss.
Well done! Fantastically well put together and I enjoyed the style of animation and narration. This really helped put the story in perspective for me and was easy to follow and understand.
I love this. The voice and audio quality is great. The visuals set you apart from other well established lore channels. I had several times I had my breathing quivering. So happy I found you, although through blizzards launcher. Love your setup. And if you will excuse me, I am going to look through your other stuff. For I hunger for more
I utterly love Suramar's storyline, it's just so good. I was sold by watching Talyssra's video at the beginning.
Great video as always :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO HOLY FUCK IT WAS THE BEST 11:55 EVER NO JOKE I GOT THE SICK NERD CHILLS AT THE END AND EVERYTHING. Well done. Very nice writing and the production is fucking OUTSTANDING. This channel is doing god's work just want to let you know we love you
Do one for each zone! This was brilliant! I can't get enough of your content.
Deserves more views! Such high quality!
man even if i knew all this, i couldn't stop myself from watching *.*
Oh my LORD I HAD A NERDGASM WATCHING THIS! I've read through so many WoWWikia entries about everyone and everything in the Warcraft Universe and to see just one small aspect of it come to life so beautifully and told with fluid enthusiasm and passion... it's amazing.
Grats on making it to the Battle.net launcher. Much deserved!
Killing others in Suramar, stopping Sargeras from saving the universe, etc.
You are NOT a hero. You are the real villain of the universe.
the art and story telling reminded me of the borderlands opening cut scenes, I really love it.
congratulation on being on the WOW launch. So well deserved!!!!!
The speaker gave me a Legends of the Hidden Temple vibe.
Olmec: "The choices are yours, and yours alone! Who's going first?"
By the light, I have shivers. This video is wonderful!
wow this video was awesome I hope they keep doing this for every raid to keep everyone up to date on the lore and why where there
Just wow. Thank god Blizzard featured your channel - it's a true hidden gem. Keep up the amazing work and I sincerely hope it pays off, you deserve many more thousands of views / subs.
Unreal editing like usual man, thanks for the vid.
This was a masterpiece, you are incredible! This was truly amazing, I would absolutely love it if you continued doing this for future raids!!! I'm so going to tell my friends about this. You earned a sub!!!!
OMG 5:58 theres Veressa Windrunner to! This made me want more badly High Elves as a playable race ❤️❤️😢
Wow! You fellows have out-done yourselves this time. This is a truly fabulous account of the history of Suramar. Thanks for a really entertaining video guys.
The artwork/visuals are awesome.
I Feel like Nobbel87 need to up his game this was well goos mate
omg this is so well done! deserves waay bigger following!
Fantastic production! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
What an amazing job man, this video is spectacular and it's exactly what I was looking for before creating my first Nightborne character. I'm trully amazed by the quality of the content, great job man!
Glad to hear! This video was truly a pleasure to work on and was even cooler we got to work alongside Blizzard on it!
@@TheLostCodex it's absolutely incredible, top tier lore information!
Happy that you are back! Really high quality videos you deserve way more subscribers keep it up !
Just saw you featured on the Battle.net launcher! Congratulations guys, very well deserved.
those visuals and explanation is short and sweet, on point. love you videos, keep them coming! more of Wow Lore pls!
Definitely! Glad you're a fan :)
I don't know why, but the editing gives me tingles/goosebumps! It just seems really satisfying.
The end with Gul'dan's introduction or the 'outro' with the soft music playing as the candles flicker after the Holocore shuts off?
Either way. thank you :D!
ALL OF IT - mostly the way the sketching and background/characters are outlined. By the way this video is featured on my blizzard launcher- grats!!
Big congratulations for getting featured on Battle.net launcher app. Always a joy to watch your videos.
This was beautiful!
I love it! Very well done and enjoyable to watch! Thanks!
BEST
VIDEO
EVER
THANKS
Really good video! I really enjoyed the fact that you explained the bosses in a lore way and not from a point of mechanics. I suggest you keep doing that for the future raids aswell!
Good to see less time wasting at the start of the video, remember we don't need recaps ever, we've seen all your videos :)
The only reason there was no recaps for this one was because it was a stand-alone. The recap just gives us a space to put a link to put previous video and tie in some themes that are going to be relevant in the new video :D
We'll try to minimize how much time and the amount of images we use for our recap :)
What an impressive video. Thank you for making this it was epic to watch and it looks like Nobble's got his work cut out for him ;)
Very well done video bro, subscriber earned.
What an amazing channel. Great job on all of this!
This was fantastic gentlemen. =]
they way this video was formated, it was like Blizzard made it lol
Gratz, you are on main battle.net page
It's nice that you got featured on the home page of battle.net.
Keep up the good work :)
YOURE ON THE LAUNCHER! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
saw this on battle net desktop client PC, enjoyed watching it
this video was exceptional. immediate sub
Congrats on being on battle.net launcher!!! Hopefully this increases your channels popularity
Amazed at the qualify, loved this video. Grats on being featured on bnet!
YOU'RE BACK!
We blame Gul'dan for the recent take down/absence.
I have to admit, I almost didn't watch this video. Glad I did though. These guys put some serious work into making this video. Excellent work guys. Keep it up!
The editing is outstanding. Really, really enjoyed this.
Proud new Sub!
Congrats on the Battle.net feature!
You help me to understand the game and what a fabulous story it is. I don't understand why everyone doesn't follow this channel. Nobbel is a nice guy but he puts he to sleep, and there is too much scattered all over the internet to read it all.
You are a very talented and kind person to create this and publish it for everyone to see. I know it clarified a lot of things lore-wise for me and I'm sure many other. Thanks.
Subbed. This guy needs to be hired by Blizzard.
we all know the real reason why we are going into the nighthold, PHAT LEWT! :p
You could do series about Pillars of the Creation! And more more and lots of more lore videos! These are so pleasant to watch ^^ and so interesting! Love these!
the hole video video felt like a mission briefing from the old medal of honor games
You are amazing. Why don't you have more followers! SUBSCRIBED
Why would I want to help elves
As always, should you or any of your raid members be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, "Hero."
this has a very real underlining story that is present today.....
I love how you broke this down. Feels like I’m preparing for a mission. I know it’s a little late but I’m glad I came across your channel!!! Keep it up!!!
This is some high quality work and amazing voicing.
Just subbed to this thanks to blizz premoting this video.
Going to watch some of the past videos on this channel.
Keep up the awesome work!
Another great video, I'm always excited to see a new one in my feed. Keep it up guys!
keep the legit vids of knowledge coming ty
That was awesome, thank you for putting this together.
So beautiful you say with music at 11:14. Nice video ;p
I swear the audio gets louder and louder for each video.
better too loud than too quiet i suppose
Hmm. This is good feedback, thank you. First time I've seen this so I'll be on the look out for watching the volume levels. Thanks!
Pistol Pete is right tho. I have my volume almost off and it's just right. That means "normal" is too loud
I love that. A lot of YT videos are too low.
Limiters are fun :D
it's funny how Thalyssra defied Elysand to save her people, just like Elysand defied Ashzara for the same reason..... makes me wonder what the future holds for the First Arcanist
That is absolutely stunning
This was cool. There hasn't been a new expansion novel since War Crimes, so we're do for another good one from Christie Golden and I hope it takes place on the Broken Isles.
This was awesome! Good voice, good editing and effects!
Will you guys consider doing one of these covering the story of the Emerald Nightmare raid?
I know it's old content, but it would pretty cool to go over the history of all the bosses there and how to came to be ensnared by the nightmare.
Great job guys!! been following since the start!
lovely video, really like your animations
holy production value
Very nicely done, explained much that I did not know of history.
