Hello everyone! Itâs been 5 years already since I did my
complete story of Warcraft and quite a lot has changed since then. The warcraft chronicles have cleaned up and
revealed some of the mysteries in the lore. Warlords of draenor, legion and now battle
for azeroth has been added to the expansions list. Couple of books, audio dramas, short stories
and beautiful youtube videos in between. Enough changes to sit down and honor your
many, many requests of getting an updated version. Give me X AMOUNT of minutes and you will know
the global story of the Warcraft universe. If you want more details on specific characters
or events, then check out my full chronoligical playlist linked in the description down below
or of course subscribe to the channel where we cover a new subject every monday. With that introduction out of the way, sit
back, relax and enjoy the full story of warcraft... In the beginning before even the cosmos took
shape, there was Light and then there was Void. The tension between these two opposing yet
inseperable energies eventually ignited a series of catastrophic explosions, birthing
a whole new realm into existence. In that moment, where the Light and the Void
crashed with eachother, the physical universe was born. Conflict between Light and darkness, thatâs
what created the Warcraft universe. Not surprising that we call it Warcraft, the
stage for every story we know of and every story thatâs still to come. So out of this clash the universe came to
be. The energies raging across the cosmos, bringing
life to worlds without number. The universe expended, different kinds of
cosmic forces came to be, all kinds of different life and beings popped up. Amongst them were the colossal titans. Their spirits, known as world-souls, formed
deep within the fiery core of a small number of worlds. Eventually they woke up, formed the Pantheon
and set out to wake up more of ther kind, scouring the Dark Great Beyond in search of
them. While doing so, they brought order to the
planets they encountered, but not all forces in the universe are down with that lifestyle. From the moment that Light and Void clashed
together, dark spirits within the Void known as void lords, sought to twist reality into
a realm of eternal torment. For a long time they watched the titans go
about their business and they were envious of their power. They wanted to corrupt one of these world-shaping
titans into an instrument of their will. First they tried to corrupt one of these fully
grown titans, but they quickly discovered that that was not an option. Instead they set their mind on the more volnerable
ones, those still slumbering. Of course, like the titans themselves, the
void lords had no idea which planets actually contained one of these spirits. So they decided to pool their powers together
and send out creatures known as Old Gods to infect and corrupt as many of the worlds as
they could. A shot in the dark hoping that atleast a few
of their minions would land on a planet containing a titan spirit. As luck would have it, some did hit their
mark. In the meantime, the pantheon were aware of
the void energies, but they had no idea of the void lords or the old gods. Their attention was consumed by another dark
force born from a realm called the twisting nether... Demons we call them, beings enslaved to unbridled
hate and malice, they hungered for nothing less than the destruction of all life in the
universe. Not exactly a lifestyle that the titans are
down with so as the demons caught their attention, the pantheon send out their mightiest warrior,
the noble sargeras, to deal with them. For ages, he traveled to the worlds under
attack, batteling the demons yet in time he noticed something quite strange. He started to encounter demons that he had
battled and vanquished before. Turns out that demons can only truly die in
their own realm, within the twisting nether, something Sargeras did not fully realise. All he understood was that the demons did
not stay dead, so instead he decided to imprison them in a pocket dimension known as Mardum. The prison would soon enough overflow with
demons, bringing peace to the cosmos. Attacks from demons would remain a constant
threat to the Great Dark, but they became increasingly rare. The titanâs worlds prospererd and life,
in all of its complexitiy, flourished...until Sargeras found out just how dark the Great
Dark could be... He discovered a world infected by the old
gods, and not just any old world, this was one with a slumbering titan inside. The demons that were chilling on the planet,
basking in its void energies were interrogated by Sargeras until they revealed what they
had learned about the old gods and the ultimate, terrfiying plan of the void lords. If the powers of the void were succesfull
in corrupting a slumbering titan, it would awaken as an unspeakably dark creature. No power in creation, not even the Pantheon,
could stand against it. In time, the warped titan would consume all
matter and energy in the universe, bringing every mote of existence under the void lordâs
will. Sargeras, the undefeated champion of the titans,
knew fear for the first time... Knowing what the void lords were after, with
sorrow in his heart, he decided that this slumbering titan could not be allowed to wake
up. His mighty blade split the world in two. The explosion did consume the Old Gods and
their dark energies, but it killed the nascent titan as well. When Sargeras met up with the rest of the
Pantheon again, he told them what he had learned, what he done to stop it and the pantheon wasnât
too thrilled with his actions. There were already so few of them in this
vast universe. They couldnât believe that Sargeras had
killed one of their kind. Who knows what they could have done to save
it, to cleanse it from its corruption. Purging it was not the only choice they had. A heated argument followed. In the end, Sargeras was unconvinced and believed
that only by burning away all of creation could the titans stand a chance of stopping
the void lordâs ultimate goal. In sargerasâs mind, even a lifeless universe
was better than one dominated by the Void. Life had taken root in the cosmos once before,
perhaps after scouring it of its corruption, life would take root once again. The pantheon would never see it his way and
Sargeras stormed off to follow his own plans. The prison he had worked so hard to fill was
shattered and the demons were recruited into his army. It was time for a crusade, a burning crusade
with his burning legion to burn away the corruption. While Sargeras was away to form his burning
legion, the rest of the pantheon kept on going with their quest. Eventually they stumbled upon a planet containing
a titan spirit, but was also corrupted by the old gods. We now call this planet Azeroth. They sought to help that slumbering spirit
inside by bringing order to the planet. As Sargeras demonstrated, the titans power
were more then enough to destroy the old gods, but the pantheon feared that doing it themselves
would cause too much damage. Instead they created an army of enormous servants
from the very crust of Azeroth itself. These Titanforged were lead by the Titan-Keepers
in the war against the Black Empire, the empire of the old gods known as Câthun, Yogg-Saron,
Yâshaarj and Nâzoth. First they battled with the enslaved elemental
lords, Alâakir the windlord, Therezane the Stonemother, Ragnaros the Firelord and Neptulon
the tidehunter. Slaying them was not really an option as they
were bound to Azeroth itself so they followed Sargerasâ example and created a pocket dimension
to contain them. The elemental plane would house the elements
safely, with the old gods mightiest lieutenants out of the way, the battle continued against
the old gods remaining forces and eventually the mighty beings themselves. Yâshaarj turned out to be so powerful that
the Pantheon feared the Old God would overwhelm their servants. Despite their better judgement, they still
reached down and ripped it out of the planet. What they feared was exactly what happened. A massive wound was left behind and now the
lifeblood of the slumbering titan spirit was spilling out. Now they knew for certain that tearing out
the old gods would destroy Azeroth itself. Instead, imprisonment was once again the better
solution. Câthun, YoggâSaron, Nâzoth and the heart
of Yâshaarj that had fallen back on the planet were all contained within their own
subterranean chambers, locked away in enchanted prisons. The war against the black empire was was won
by the pantheon, and despite their darkness being locked away beneath the world, for the
first time in Azerothâs history, a sense of peace settled over the planet. There was still quite a bit of work to do. First step was patching up the wound left
by Yâshaarj with something called the Well of Eternity. With that immediate threat out of the way,
they worked on strengthening the nascent world-soul and stabilize its life force. Titan machinieries and facilities were build
for that exact purpose, to help it grow, help it heal, help it mature into a titan rumored
to be even more powerful then Sargeras himself. More of the titan-forged were created to help
safeguard the world. Keep an eye on things, shape the surface and
help that spirit grow. Now donât get me wrong. Not all of the creatures on Azeroth were shaped
by the titans hands, some evolved over time or were just already there. Twilight fell as the titan-forged surveyed
the world they had shaped, and they named the primary continent Kailmdor: Land of Eternal
Starlight. The titans had done everything possible to
heal Azeroth and assure the world-soulâs future. All that remained now was to waitâwait and
hope that the world-soul would one day awaken... As Azeroth was left behind to do its thing,
the titans ran into Sargeras again going about his burning crusade. They tried to convince him of another, another
way. They had just done some amazing things for
a corrupted world soul. Perhaps one day it would awaken and stand
with them. He did not have to burn all creation, but
Sargeras heard nothing but another target for him to take out. A massive battle followed by these titanic
beings, a battle in which Sargeras struck down his former brothers and sister. Their spirits survived, but their forms were
shattered and Sargeras set his eyes on finding this Azeroth. He didnât know where in the great dark beyond
this corrupted planet might be, but he had and he would track it down. The battle with the pantheon also showed him
that his demonic forces were quite powerful, but they lacked in leadership. Inteligent minds to lead his forces, the dark
lord of Legion figured that the race of Eredar from the planet of Argus would make for a
fine addition to his troops. He showed up and offered them a spot amongst
his ranks. Power beyond their wildest dreams. 2 of their 3 leaders, Kilâjaeden and Archimonde
were onboard with this plan. Decided to sign up while the third, Velen
the Prophet, he saw that this was a very bad idea. Instead of joining Sargeras, he decided to
take as many of his people as he could and flee. Run away with the aid of the Naaru, beings
of holy light. A move that Kilâjaeden took very personal. He felt betrayed by his co-leader, his brother
in spirit and promised that he would hunt Velen and the now called Draenei down, even
if it took him a thousand years. On the run the draenei moved from planet to
planet until they could run no more and crash landed on a world they would name Draenor. It was home to a race known as orcs and the
coming of the draenei would have a massive impact on the future of their race. In the meantime on Azeroth we saw life do
its thing. Races grew and evolved, worked hard to further
their empires. A race known as nigth elves had set up base
near the well of eternity and were studying its properties, delving ever deeper into this
fount of power until their research drew the attention of Sargeras and the Legion. Finally he had found Azeroth now all he needed
to do was find a way to reach it. Queen Azshara and her followers were down
with bringing Sargeras into the world and tried to use the well as a massive portal. Nearly they succeeded, but the resistance
formed of night elves, demi-gods, furbolgs, tauren, dragons, all kinds of races that did
not want to be anihilated rose up and prevented the queens plans. They were able to reverse the portal and send
the legion back to where they came from. All that messing about with the well made
it incredible unstable. It imploded, sundering the land of kalimdor
and make it look like we know it as today. Despite massive damage and loss of life, the
day was saved. Sargeras was pushed back, but the dark titanâs
gaze had fallen upon Azeroth and would not rest until his mission was completed. The legion had their first taste of Azeroth
and would come back many times in the future and lets not forget that Kilâjaeden still
had vengeance to claim upon the Draenei.... Back on Draenor the Draenei were located by
the Legion again, yet Kilâjaeden decided to not send out their full force only to see
their former kin run away again. This time they decided to use the orcs to
do their dirty work. Pitch them agains the draenei, despite living
together on the planet in relative peace for centuries. Fel magic was introduced to their tribes and
replaced the use of elemental magic, shamanism. The orcs were manipulated, banded together
and formed the Horde. Corrupted, its effects not only visible to
the orcs themselves but also the planet they lived on. Eventually the pitlord Mannoroth offered them
demon blood, a great gift in the eyes of the orcs and while it did indeed give them incredible
power, it also made them slaves to the Legion. They did not know this and most of them decided
to drink. Nearly all of the Draenei were wiped out. Some of them even forced to stay behind for
the slaughter to make it look like Kilâjaeden had completed his mission so that a small
part of their race would survive. It worked. Kilâjaeden thought he had been succesfull. On orders of Sargeras, he left the orcs left
to their fate, to rot away on a dieing world. A powerful force desperate for survival, desperate
enough to build the dark portal and go through it to Azeroth, a brand new world to conquer. The right weapon to weaken Azrerothâs defenses
in preparation for a ful-scale Legion invasion. Even the orcs that had not touched the demon
blood followed through the gateway. It was their only way of survival and the
first Horde invasion into Azeroth began... âIn the age of chaos, 2 factions battled
for dominance. The kingdom of azeroth was a prosperous ones. THe humans who dwelt there turned the land
into a paradise. The knights of Stormwind and the clerics of
Northshire abey roamed far and wide serving the kings people with honor and justice. The well trained armies of the king maintained
a lasting peace for many generations. Then came the orcish hordes... No one knew where these creatures came from
and none were prepared for the terror they spawned. Imagine this alien force popping up out of
no where. It was quite a shock and some did not believe
the initial reports about the monstrous orcs. As the Horde conquered more land, their eyes
were soon opened to the truth and the Alliance of lordaeron was formed. They fought hard over the fate of the world
with Azeroth being victorious. Some of the orcs escaped home through the
dark portal which was shut down. Others ran away and survived in the wilds
while those that surrendered were placed within interment camps. Defeated, but not vanquished. The Horde still had a dieing homeworld and
came back for a second time. The Dark Portal re-opened. This time not to conquer the planet, instead
they gathered powerful artifacts which they could use to open more portals to others worlds
to conquer those instead. The Alliance of Lordaeron decided to follow
the Horde through the portal and take the battle to them. Prevent them from inflicting the same suffering
to others that Azeroth had felt. Again the Horde was defeated, but not before
the portals were created. Massive rifts across Draenor caused the already
corrupted planet to transform into Outland as we know it today. The dark portal was shut down once more giving
Azeroth time to rebuild and heal, but the threats to the world are far from over. âwe never payed any head to the ancient
prophecies.â Smack smack
Like fools we clung to the hold hatredsâ Smack smack
âAnd fought like we had for generations.â This brings us to the Warcraft 3 time period
in which the new scheme of the Legion came in the form of the Lich King. This powerful being was created and send down
by Kilâjaeden with the goal of weakening the world, summoning more Legion forces and
accomplish that goal of claiming Azeroth. From the cold lands of Northrend, death washed
over the lands of lordaeron and beyond. Prince Arthas tried to save his people, but
in his quest he fell for the Lich Kingâs schemes, picked up Frostmourne and instead
became an agent of the Lich King. The very thing he had tried to fight against. Now it was he who lead this Scourge and brought
his fathers lands to ruin. The high home of the high elves was invaded
and brought low. With the use of their Sunwell, another magical
found of power, he resurrected Kelâthuzad as a lich as he was needed to summon Archimonde
into the world. This act did corrupt the well, something that
the high elves had become very dependant on. Their prince Kaelâthas anounced that they
would be known as the blood elves in honor of those whoâs blood had spilled trying
to defend their lands against Arthas. This didnât compensate for the loss of their
well, but their prince would do everything it took to find some way to save his people
Archimonde clearly remembered the Legionâs defeat at the hand of the night elves during
the war of the ancients, 10.000 years ago so he decides to take care of that massive
threat first. In the meantime we saw Thrall, raised within
the interment camps as a slave gladiator, rise up and set his people free. He reformed the Horde not with the intention
of conquering Azeroth like they had tried before. He wanted to guide them back to their honorable
ways of old. Find a place on the planet they could call
their own, a planet that now had to be defended against Archimonde and the Legion. Under the guidance of Medivh, Thrall continued
his journey and met up with Senâjin, leader of the darkspear trolls who was sadly sacrificed
by murlocs. His son Volâjin would take over leadership
and join the Horde. The same goes for the Bloodhoof tauren, lead
by their chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof. Their family was growing with more races but
Medivh reached out to more people to stand with them, amongst them Jaina Proudmoore. She took the survivors of Lordaeron, those
that had survived the onslaught of the scourge and eventually met up with Thrall and the
Horde. It was an insane idea to now have the Alliance
and the Horde work together, but these leaders were wise enough to put old hatreds to the
side for the sake of world. And of course the orcs are no strangers to
the threats the demons pose. That demonic blood curse had pretty much doomed
their race, the blood of mannoroth offered as a gift. Grommash Hellscream was the first amongst
the orcs to drink and it would be he to strike the blow that fell mannoroth now, liberating
his people while sacrificing his life in the process. âThrall....I have freed myself.â Final breath
âNo old friend, you have freed us all.â Together with the night elves they stood against
the might of the Legion and banished Archimonde off the planet. The day had been saved, but the Legion had
come very close and victory did not come without sacrifices. Yet all the same, Jaina and Thrall, humans
and orcs, alliance and horde had shown that by working together, they could accomplish
amazing things. In an attempt to keep this peace going, Thrall
decided to settle in Orgrimmar while Jaina took her people to an area close by, Theramore
keep. They would work hard to show the world that
together they stood stronger, despite some being unable to let go off old hatreds. Despite Archimonde and the Legionâs defeat,
the Lich King was still on the planet, actively working against his legion masters. He was no willing puppet, quite the opposite. Something Kilâjaeden took notice of and
decided to recruit Illidan Stormrage, a night elf demon hunter labeled a betrayer by his
people for his actions during the War of the Ancients. They had set him free from his cage after
being imprisoned for 10.000 years as he would be a powerful weapon against this new Legion
attack. Again they disaproved of his methods and banished
him from their lands. Now Kilâjaeden offered Illidan what ever
he wanted in exchange for his aid of disposing of the Lich King. Illidan was no friend to the Legion either,
but knew full well that truly taking care of them could not be done on Azeroth. They would have to take the battle to them
so for now he pretended to go along with Kilâjaedenâs plans, keep his enemy close and work hard
to take care of the Lich King. He recruited Lady Vasjh and the naga into
his ranks, former elves that were there when Azshara lead them in that disastrious mission
of bringing sargeras into the world. They nearly drowned as the well imploded,
but thankfully for them, an allegiance with the old god Nâzoth saved their lives and
transformed them into the Naga. There was also Kaelâthas Suntrider, leader
of the blood elves formerly high elves who were hit hard by Arthas and the Scourge. He was still on a quest to find a way of salvation
of his addicted people and his hope of solving their plight lay with Illidan Stormrage. Together they did their very best, but Arthas
the death knight still bested them and claimed his price of merging with the Lich King while
Illidan was forced to hide away on Outland and work on some new plans to stop the Legion... â4 years have passed since the mortal races
banded together and stood together against the might of the burning legion. Though azeroth was saved, the tenious pact
between the horde and the alliance has all but eveporated. The drums of war thunder once again...â Warcraft 3 sets the stage for Classic World
of Warcraft as the intro described old hatres rising up again despite previously standing
together against the Might of the Burning Legion. For the Horde we see it made up of the Orcs
lead by Thrall, the Tauren lead by Cairne, the Trolls lead by Volâjin and as the fourth
race itâs the Forsaken lead by Sylvanas Windrunner. Theyâre former citizens of lordaeron that
fell to the plague and rose up as living undead, the Scourge. In time they were able to liberate themselves
and regain control. Hellbent on claiming vengeance for what Arhas
has done to them, they join the Horde in an alliance of convenience. Then for the Alliance we donât see the humans
of Theramore be part of the faction, instead itâs the humans of Stormwind lead by king
Anduin Wrynn as his father Varian is currently missing. Next to the humans we also have the dwarves
of ironforge lead by king Magni Bronzebeard. The gnomes of gnomeregan, lead by Gelbin Meckatorque
and the night elves lead by Tyrande Whisperwind. While the Alliance and the Horde went at eachother
again, they also quickly realised that there were still big threats that needed to be taken
care of. Threats bigger then either faction. For example Ragnaros the Firelord was stirring
within his lair in the moltencore. While previously banished to his elemental
plane of fire, the dark iron dwarves were foolish enough to accidently summon him during
their civil war and heâs been a threat ever since. There was also Nefarian, the black dragon
and child of Deathwing the destroyer that has taken up residance in the top of the mountain. His sister Onyxia is the one response for
Varianâs disappearance and has infiltrated Stormwind under the disguise of Lady Katrana
Prestor. She must be exposed and dealt with in her
lair. Hakkar the Soulflayer, blood god of the gurubashi
trolls. The old god Câthun, imprisoned by the titans
now stirs behind the scarab wall in Ahnâqiraj and then Kelâthuzad and the floating citadel
of Naxxramas. A taste of the Lich Kingâs powers still
threatening to consume the world. All kinds of conflict threatening to devour
the world, but by working together, the world of Azeroth holds its own. âImprisoned for 10.000 years. âBanished from my own homeland.â Oeee that music gives me chills
âAnd now you dare enter my realm....â âYou are not preparedâ Time to take this party and move it to a whole
different planet, Outland, where the orcs come from and Illidan is hiding out, working
on his plans against the legion. This wasnât known to the world of course
and with Kilâjaeden manipulating things behind the scenes, we saw the dark portal
open up once more. The alliance had the draenei join them lead
by Prophet Velen. Those that had survived the war against the
Horde and had hidden on outland for all this time, now crash landed on Azeroth and joined
the faction. Thrallâs horde saw the blood elves join
their ranks. With the aid of Sylvanas they were accepted
in. Kaelâthas Sunstrider was still their official
leader but while he had already teamed up with Illidan in Outland, their people were
lead by Regent Lord Lorâthemar Theron. For the orcs it was quite a shock to return
home to a land so massively destroyed. For Thrall this was the first time he actually
set foot on the homeworld of his parents where he met up with Garrosh Hellscream, son of
Grommash who so heroicly had liberated their people from their demonic blood curse. Garrosh would eventually join Thrall back
home to Azeroth where as the Alliance met up with heroes of old, the members of the
Alliance of Lordaeron that had stopped the Horde from invading different worlds. Here it was where they took on threats like
Lady Vasjh and the Naga, even Kaelâthas Sunstrider turned out to be allied with Kilâjaeden
so his own people had to rise up against him until finally the betrayer was slain within
the Black Temple and the real threat revealed himself. Kaelâthas had switched sides and worked
together with Kilâjaeden to set up a portal and bring him into Azeroth. A portal over the sunwell that was reversed. Kilâjaeden was send back to where he came
from and the blood elves fount of power was reignited. Birthing a new future, a new hope for their
people. âSalvation young one, it awaits us all.â Just in time for the one that caused them
so much missery to wake up and assault the world. Arthas the Lich King was ready to conquer
the world and heroes ventured into the cold heart of northrend to try and stand up against
him. Joining them on this quest were Arthasâ
death knights that rose up against their former master. While there the formerly mad blue dragon aspect
called Malygos decided to strike out at the world of mortals who in his eyes were abusing
magic. He became such a problem that even his fellow
dragons teamed up with us to take him on. There was also the ancient evil of Yogg-saron
stirring within Ulduar. Another old god trying to break out of its
prison. Once more the world united doing the near
impossible. Not only stopping Yogg-saron from breaking
out, but also end Arthasâ life. âFather! is it over?â âAt long last...no king rules forever my
son.â âI see...only darkness...for me...â There must always be a lich king though and
it was decided that Bolvar Fordragon would pick up the helmet and become the jailer of
the damned. With her ultimate goal accomplished, Sylvanas
windrunner decided that this undead life was not meant for her. By flinging herself from the top of icecrown,
she killed herself but instead of feeling the embrace of a nice afterlife, she ended
up in hell. She would have stayed there, enjoying eternal
torment for all eternity was it not for the Valâkyr. Still bound to the will of the lich king,
the will of bolvar, they wanted to be set free so they made the banshee queen an offer. They would take her place in hell incase she
died, even raise more forsaken to replenish her troops. In exchange they would her away from this
cold damned place and so...the bargain was made. Not just Sylvanas saw a change of motivation,
quite a lot of changes were happening to the factions as well as the world of Azeroth. The black dragon Deathwing had been recovering
its strength. Listening to the whispers of the old gods
and it was about time to bring about the hour of twilight. The moment in which the old gods would break
out of their prisons and rule the world once more. Deathwingâs coming did not go unnoticed. Plenty of people felt that something wasnât
quite right with the world. For example, Magni Bronzebeard, king of dwarves
decided to go through an ancient titan ritual to communicate with the land and figure out
what is going on. Instead of just communciating with the land,
he became one with it. Turned into a crystal, which gave his daughter
Moira the perfect oppertunity to come home and seize the throne. Varian Wrynn wasnât down with that plan
so instead a council was formed, all 3 dwarven clans, bronzebeard, dark iron and wildhammer,
would all be represented within the alliance. We also saw the gilneans have some trouble
dealing with the cataclysm. Once part of the Alliance of Lordaeron, their
leader Genn Greymane had decided to build a mighty wall around their kingdom which was
great to hold out threats from without, but also made it difficult to deal with threats
from within. Their people were hit with the worgen curse
which took over their mind, lost to the beast, until they regained control and eventually
rejoined the alliance. On the Horde side we saw Thrall deciding to
go back to Outland and learn more about his shamanistic ways to figure out what was going
on with the world and perhaps even try to heal it. That meant that the Horde would lose its warchief
so Thrall decided to appoint Garrosh hellscream to take charge. He had shown to be a great commander during
their campaign in Northrend and Thrall trusted him to lead their people well. Despite voices raising concern with this choice,
voices like Cairne bloodhoof and garrosh himself, thrall had made up his mind and left the Horde
in the hands of Hellscream. This quickly resulted in conflict and rising
tensions between the Alliance and the Horde and even the Horde within. Cairne thought that the road Garrosh was taking
them on was not the right way so he challenged his warchief to Makâgora, an honorable to
the death for leadership over the Horde. The old bull might have won the battle, was
it not for enemies scheming behind their backs. Not even Garrosh was aware of the poison that
coated his weapon, yet it took life of cairne all the same. This meant that his son Baine had to step
up and lead their people, lead them as Deathwing broke out and the Cataclysm shattered the
world. âAnd all will burn beneath the shadow of
my wings.â Like the Sundering 10.000 years ago, this
shattering transformed the surface of the world, the lay out of the land. While the alliance and horde were fighting,
Deathwing and the old god Nâzoth executed their plans. Thankfully the world had more defenders then
just the factions. Cooler heads saw reason where others were
blinded by hatred. They united and eventually the alliance and
horde followed their example. Thrall, now going by the name of Goâel,
the name his parents would have given him, on his journey managed to recruit the goblins
of Kezan lead by Jastor gallywix, to join the horde as they had lost their island to
the cataclysm and funny enough, also the greed of their leader. Goâel also united with the other dragon
aspects combinding their forces and together they defeated Deathwing and prevented the
hour of twilight. The world was saved yet the cataclysm did
quite a lot of damage to it so Goâel decided to stay in a healing rol, leaving leadership
of the Horde in the hands of Garrosh. He did not follow the same vision as Thrall
did for the Horde. He did not believe in working together with
the alliance, begging for resources, in his mind they should take and conquer what ever
the Horde deserved. A conflict that blew up with the bombing of
Theramore, destroying what Jaina Proudmoore had tried to build. A conflict that took them to a land previous
hidden by mists, Pandaria, where we also saw the Pandaren of the Wandering Isle join either
the alliance or the horde depending on their believes. A brand new fighting style in the form of
monks was added to their arsenal. Ji firepaw lead those that decided to join
team red, Aysa Cloudsong lead those for team blue. âTo ask why we fight is to ask why the leafs
fallâ So on Pandaria the alliance and horde fought
with one another over dominance of the land, resources and people. What they did not know was this land did not
do well with conflict. When the old god Yâshaarj was ripped out
of the planet, little pieces of him fell back around this area infusing it with some dark
forced called the sha. It feeds on negative emotions causing a whole
bunch of problems for the pandaren that the factions need to clean up while Garrosh is
having his forces search far and wide for more power to add to their arsenal. The heart of the old god Yâshaarj is found
locked away beneath the land. It shows Garrosh grand visions, his dreams
to come true, infuses him with ancient dark power. Heâs not corrupted like so many that have
dealt with the powers of the void before. Instead he uses the powers of the heart as
a weapon to accomplish his goals. Eventually even those amongst the Horde feel
that what Garrosh is doing is too far, is not the way of the Horde. Volâjin leads the darkspear rebellion and
together with the alliance, even goâel shows up, they kick garrosh out of the mantle of
warchief but they do not kill him. Instead heâs placed on trial to answer for
his crimes where as Volâjin takes over leadership of the Horde. The trial took place in pandaria, but instead
of facing his final judgement, Garrosh was taken by the bronze dragon Kairozdormu, back
in time to an alternate reality. âDrink Hellscream. Claim your destiny.â To Draenor around the time that the orcs were
offered that demonic blood by Manorroth. Kairozâ plan was to have Garrosh form a
new army and have it stand with original Azeroth against the coming legion, but Hellscream
had no intentions of being used like that. Instead he murdered the bronze, changed time
and prevented his alternate father and others from drinking, but still formed the Horde...the
Iron Horde that would claim the Azeroth he had left behind. The Dark Portal now turned Red and Azeroth
saw another invasion only the world itself had grown very strong by now. Strong because of one another and they stepped
through the red portal to take the battle to Garrosh and the Iron Horde. The schemes of the Legion are not easily prevented. With each step they took to dismantle the
Iron Horde. Garrosh was even slain by Goâel in makâgora,
yet the Legionâs hold over these alternate orcs grew stronger until they again drank
the blood and pledged themselves to the Legion. Even Archimonde showed up again, but was defeated
all the same. In his final moments he sends this alternate
gulâdan over to our realtiy to kick off yet another invasion from the Legion, the
biggest one azeroth had ever seen. On the broken shore, the alliance and the
horde tried to stop this invasion before it could even begin but this was a death trap
and they were quickly overwhelmed. Warchief Volâjin was poisoned by the demons
forcing Sylvanas to call the retreat leaving the alliance to fend for themselves. Varian Wrynn in turn sacrificed himself so
that the alliance could retreat. Now itâs his son Anduin that leads their
forces where as Volâjinâs final breath came in Orgrimmar, just before the spirits
whispered to him to make Sylvanas Warchief. Devestating blows to both factions which meant
that the heroes of the world had to rise up themselves and form mighty order halls. All the classes got their own place to hang
out. Their own artifacts, legendary weapons of
power to chase down and then they had to figure out some way of closing that gateway from
which the legion was pooring fourth. By scouring the broken isles they gathered
the ancient relics needed to do so but just closing this portal and sending the legion
back to where they came from wouldnât be enough this. Illidan Stormrage had been right all along. Sargeras and his legion wonât ever stop,
not until we end them. So.. Illidans trained demon hunters are released
from their prisons and added to our ranks. Their lord was slain near the end of the Burning
Crusade. It would be really handy to have him stand
with us. AS luck would have it, he did not actually
die. Instead his demonic soul went to the twisting
nether so we claim the soul and put it back into his body. Just like that, the betrayer is on our side
once more. After Gulâdanâs defeat and sealing the
gateway, we end up in combat with Kilâjaeden who guides us to Argus former homeworld of
the Draenei. We would have crashed and burned right there
was it not for Illidan. He opened up a massive rift between our two
worlds. Easy access to take the battle to the legion,
but also easy access for Sargeras to finally claim his prize. Time is of the essence so we quickly fly out
and to our shock and surprise, we run into the spirit of the titans. Theyâre being tortured by Sargeras, converted
to his will. Actions taken by them thousands and thousands
of years ago now lead to their liberation. We show the Legion that a corruption planet
can produce more then death and destruction to the universe. Together we stand with the shapers of our
world as Sargeras nearly claims Azeroth. As his flaming sword pierces the world causing
massive damage to it, the pantheon drags him back and imprisons him. Weâve succeeded in our mission, the threat
of the Burning Legion is finally over. A victory earned, but not one without a price. The world is hurting, bleeding a powerful
new source known as Azerite, one that reignites the conflict between the alliance and the
Horde. The battle for Azeroth is upon us. In the form of a faction war, alliance vs
horde, both sides recruit new allies to stand with them. The alliance gains the aid of the Void Elves,
Lightforged draenei, dark iron dwarves and the Kul Tirans where as the Horde gain the
Nightborne, Highmountain Tauren, Magâhar orcs and the Zandalari trolls. Sylvanas was said to make Garrosh look like
an amateur and she has not disapointed. The home of the night elves burned down, the
genocide of their race as its been described and people are starting to wonder why exactly
Volâjin appointed her as warchief. A mystery to be revealed while a rebellion
is brewing. Meanwhile thereâs not just the faction war. Thereâs also the battle for sake of the
world itself. Magni Bronzebeard has woken up and acts as
a speaker of the titan spirit inside. Sheâs in pain, suffering greatly, but perhaps
by gathering the azerite...we can prevent the destruction of our world and the death
of the final titan. A great plan, except dark forces are ready
to abuse them. The old god Nâzoth together with Azhsara,
queen of the naga scheme and plot until the heroes of Azeroth are exactly where they want
them. With the use of the heart of azeroth, the
device used to store that Azerite, Nâzoth is released from his prison. For the first time since the time the titans
brought order to the planet, an old god is on the lose... âAll eyes will be openedâ History tends to repeat itself as the alliance
and horde realise itâs better to aim their weapons at the bigger threat rather then eachother. The warchief of the Horde seems to be a threat
to all...however...this is where are at the moment with the full story of warcraft. Only time will tell how battle for azeroth
will end, what the future is going to bring. Youâre now up to speed with the global story
of the warcraft universe from the dawn of creation to the current time period. Do keep in mind that this is a very global
story. A lot of details are of course missing but
if weâre going to cover all the details, weâd be here for days. Thatâs where my channel comes in covering
those beautiful topics. The stories of warcraft in greater detail. A massive story which I canât wait to see
further unfold. For now though thank you ever so much for
