- Prepare to set foot upon the untamed shores of Durotar, courageous wanderer, and immerse yourself in the feral wilderness that thrives within this arid land. As the Keeper of Durotar's lore, I am humbled to reveal the stories whispered among the windswept canyons and scorched earth. Together, we shall embark on a journey through this harsh yet captivating landscape, a land that embraces both the Orcs and Trolls as its native inhabitants.
The once war-hungry Horde underwent a profound transformation as the demon curse that plagued them was finally dispelled. Evolving into a coalition with the native Tauren and Trolls, the Horde embraced a new path focused on survival and prosperity rather than conquest and destruction. Together, they envisioned a future of peace and well-being within their newfoundland. As they worked tirelessly to rebuild their once-glorious society, they looked forward to an era free from the shackles of war, where unity and harmony would reign supreme.
Today, Durotar proves to be a crucible of trials for the young orcs and trolls, setting them on a transformative path through the treacherous Valley of Trials. As they navigate the challenges and complete sacred rites of passage, they seek to prove their worthiness for the destiny that awaits. So come, and journey alongside me as we reveal the tales and mysteries of this rugged land of scorched earth. For within these canyons of crimson sand lie the enduring chronicles of the trolls and orcs.

This is it boys. It's been a hell of a nostalgic journey but we've finally reached the end of all starter zones. No longer novice adventures we move into more dangerous and untamed land. I'll see y'all there!
Very excited indeed! We are off to uncharted territories!
What about the Azuremyst Isle, or other starting zones post BC?
@@seasonal_clorox_bleach8308 he did the blood elves. And I swore he did azuremyst... Though now you mention it there's worgen, pandas, gobbos, and... Allied races don't count cause they don't have full starting zones. In fact, those other 3 you can't revisit so I think our chronicler is only doing static and reviewable starters that don't vanish once you finish them
@@christopherbronson3275 I tried searching for Azuremyst but couldn’t find it lol. I have to check again
I got ganked by a lvl 80 in Ashenvale:(
This episode is full of nostalgia. Night duels at the gates of Orgrimmar. Jesus! I want old times back! 💚❤ I have added your channel to the recommended ones on my RUclips channel so that every visitor from my channel will visit your content! You deserve it!
You are most kind! Enjoy!
Go play classic
Playing wow classic again won't bring back the old days. But you probably don't know that.@@jbarlak
@@Wowlore lol yeah spit your truths like you know anything. Sorry it’s good to see you assume o don’t remember vanilla all those years ago
Ah nostalgia. Give me good old Warcraft please.
The nostalgia is burning, I still remember walking into Orgrimmar for the fist time back in 2006. I also remember when my character fell off
The Zeppelin tower it felt as if I was the one falling.
That's some genuine immersion right there! Enjoy the nostalgia!
You are the David Attenborough of WoW lore. Fantastic content to sit back and listen to!
I’m loving your videos! As an alliance blue
Barry I didn’t quest in this zone too much.
Glad you enjoy it!
I feel like I’ve committed a grievance in by not being subscribed when I first found this channel even though I thought that I did.
I make an active effort to show your videos to people who have never played World of Warcraft, which Innoway is a higher difficulty curve to gain their interest and so far everyone who has watched your videos, have found them very interesting, and I will continue to do this until I can do so no more.
I wish to thank you for your kind words and support! Welcome aboard, even though you were already around!
Liking and commenting to tell you: PLEASE make more of these! Your channel WILL blow up ❤ watching this tonight 👌🏼
More to come, let's GO!
Finally durotar. Gotta love it man
Thank you for the great content! Your enchanting voice and videos actually cured my insomnia.
I am so excited to see what videos you put out next! ❤
You are so welcome! Happy to hear the videos could be of help to you!
You do realise that this is an AI voice, right? It is absolutely amazing how far we have come, but it is not a real person reading this. Doesn't make me enjoy it any less
I’ve been looking forward to this😊
As iconic as Elewyn Forest, a prelude to the infamous Barrens Chat. Always loved this zone for the WC3 callbacks and feeling the most "Warcraft" with its structures. Awesome video as always! I look forward to the next!
Classic! See you next time!
I used to love going out and revisiting the starter zones, just wandering around them at night sometimes when I didn't want to make gold or dungeons or anything like that, I am really looking forward to the next zones!
Glad to have you accompanying me on this journey!
The one I was waiting for🔥
LET'S GO!! ANOTHER VID TO START MY MORNING! ♥♥
Good morning and enjoy!
Another awesome video!
You're the best!
Another banger! Whats the plan after you have done all the starting areas? Leave it up to community polls or do you have any zones you really wanna cover?
Im personally excited to see Stranglethorn, Grizzly Hills and Zangarmarsh one day. Keep it up!
Eventually, my goal is to cover as much zone lore as I can personally handle. I want to adress every zone in order of level, so moving up from the staring areas, we should see places like Westfall, Darkshore, The Barrens, Silverpine Forest very soon!
Besides the zones, I'm also working on various topics regarding races, events and characters in the world of Azeroth.
That in combination with community input from polls and updates, should make for an interesting journey into the near future!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth that all sounds so great. Your channels going to become a one stop shop for wow lore and im so excited. Westfall episodes gonna be great.
@@SteveWonderBread I'm very excited and happy to have you with me so early!
I love this channel❤ thank you 🙏🏼
Thank YOU for joining us on our adventures! Cheers!
New Chronicles of Azeroth video LETS GO! Love the starting areas. Would also love to see some be on Booty Bay.
Oof, Booty Bay should be good! On the list!
keep it up brobro these videos are mad fun to watch
Thanks so much! Enjoy!
Another banger delivered!
🙌
Once again, beautifully done.
This was amazing, thank you!
Thank you dear friend!
I really like this Land Lore videos
Its great to see how each video has improvements in them! Great work!
Thank you very much!
Wow! This is like a Warcraft nature documentary! I love it!
Happy to hear that!
Keep these videos up SO good
Thanks for the support, will do!
Excited for azuremyst soon!
I love your videos there so chilled out and good to watch when one first wakes up brings back fond memories. Please continue making these, and if Blizzard ever needs a new narrator for when people make new characters in starting zones they should contact you keep the epic work lore master
Thank you for all these beautiful content Loremaster! 💗💗
You are so welcome!
Another great Tale and look into the lore. I am excited for your future narrations covering these places I called my second home since I was like 6. 🙏
Very cool, glad you like them!
Hi ViiVii! Zul'Cacali here!!
You never fail to disappoint! Does this mean we’re headed to Azuremyst Isle last or are we going back to, say, Westfall??
We will be journeying across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor in a progressive way, so Westfall should arrive pretty soon indeed! What else would you like to see?
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth I’m not sure there’s a lot to tell about Azuremyst Isle since their story doesn’t interact much with the other zones until BC so I wouldn’t mind waiting until then to see them. Otherwise I love the path you’re working through and am excited to see everything as it comes.
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Westfall does make me curious how you’ll handle the dungeons in a given zone. Will you talk about them in depth, will they get their own videos, or will you briefly go over them as they relate to the overall zone? I’m personally in camp three as I think it meshes better with the Travel Guide feel but am interested in what you’ll come up with.
The way you describe option 3 is exactly how I envision the way to explore subregions within a zone.
Much like I don't go into too much detail about Orgrimmar or Stormwind City for Durotar and Elwynn Forest, I will talk briefly about The Deadmines because it's not about that particular zone. It does, however play a greater role in the overal story of the zone in question!
So to answer your question, the cities and dungeons are all on my list of getting their very own lore overview at some point!
Yet another amazing video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks a ton!
Love your channel! Thank you for your work! ❤
Thank you for your support!
Love your content. Thank you for all your hard work!!
I appreciate that! Glad to hear that you enjoy it!
YES! Tell me the whispers of these stories! These are so good!
Glad you like them!
I've been leveling a troll witch doctor through here on a private server. Love this zone.
It's very unique in its own way, totally made for the rough Orcs.
I've been waiting for this one. Excellent series.
Happy to have you here!
The PERFECT video as I make my Mag'Har (Roleplayed as a Blackrock Orc) character!
Excellent as always man.
Superb, thanks!
Well done again ;)
Thanks so much and enjoy!
Looking forward to see where you take the series next!
Another superb video, on an absolutely cracking zone. Such a different zone in comparison with other starting zones. A barren, almost dying land, but life flourishes and thrives. Thank you again!
My pleasure, thanks for the kind words!
Damn this is amazing
Love these videos! So cool to learn the lore
Glad to hear it!
Another good video
Thanks again!
As always a wonderful vid!
Thank you! Cheers!
We need more of your WoW lemonade!
Something special is coming this very weekend!
Another banger!
Let's go!
Dude i listen to this shit to fall asleep too, i love the dumorogh one, cant wait to hear this one. Just read the full books g
Super, enjoy the stories!
I will never forget the first time I played WoW with my shaman and while doing the quest for the fire totem I saw across the sea the goblin telescope of Ratchet..It created such a will for me wanting to explore the place,once I got closer to the sea I saw a skull elite shark and went back wanting so badly to progress to get to that area,I miss the times when leveling experience mattered and felt meaningful I'm glad I managed to experience the og Vanilla and Bc WoW in its glory days.
Thanks for uploading this
Thank YOU for joining me!
Warcraft 3 and classic wow story telling was the chef's kiss.
@chronicles of azeroth also love the summary, and you have a great voice. Cheers!
Leveling my orc warlock Scornn through Durotar and The Barrens these days. Created him as a copy of the rare elite Felweaver Scornn found in Skull Rock. Listening to this at the same time!
That's pretty cool 😎!
He's gone and done it again! What a legend!
Hey, great to see you again! Enjoy!
This is a fantastic use of AI writing and voice. Absolutely entertaining, nostalgic, calming and educational ❤
Couldn't agree more!
Great stuff once again
Thanks for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed it!
Any way we can access the thumbnail art for the different zones without the text? Would love to use as wallpapers.
Very glad I came across this channel, been wishing for content like this for long. Subscribed on spotify to enjoy the stories on my way to work.
I'm working on making the thumbnail images available for my members so keep an eye out!
On another note, thank you so much for your contribution on Spotify! Enjoy the relaxing lore during your commute!
Been waiting for this
Please enjoy!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth love your content, truly one of the most underrated channels and content! Been sharing constantly!
(Stonetalon Mountain soon?)
At this pace, we should see Stonetalon Mountains in late September/early October!
Yes! Like a gift in this crappy day!
Thank you so much, fellow Lore Keeper!
Any hint for next video? 😊
Hey, please give yourself a well deserved break! The next journey through Azeroth will be a little different from what we have seen so far, but it's still a surprise!
Next week!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth ah man! Im like 14 years old version of myself now. Logging into game and stunned in awe.
But if you plan on making similar videos again- DUSKWOOD!!!!
I can only imagine the epicness of that gloomy, spooky and fearful adventure with your narration!
Best of luck, my friend!
This man's voice is as smooth as silk
Thanks, it's a voice made through ElevenLabs!
Loving the work you've been doing on this series! I run a Hardcore guild and am looking for some arial footage like you have in your opening shot for our website. Anyway I can connect with you on this?
Hey, and thanks for your comment! I would love to make some arial shots for your guild. Connect with me here: questsworldofwarcraft@gmail.com
It is sooo goood ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Ah this is gonna be good
Please enjoy!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth thank you, I did!
Aaah. Its nice to learn about durotar without making a horde toon
Imagine unironically playing alliance.
I like the Horde races better, but leveling in Durotar and the Barrens always felt extra slow and cumbersome to me. So I can understand what you mean.
Your voice is ICONIC in this word. Keep up the great work, subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Will there be similar lore videos about the zones after the cataclysm? The modern lore
I can see this becoming a reality in the future! But for now we will journey through Classic first :)
Durotar in lore: lvl80
Durotar in game: lvl1
I have a question. sir. Since you covered Quel Thalas, would you be covering Azuremyst Isle for Draenei too?
After Quel'Thalas, I started working on the Azuremyst Isles, but demand for more classic zones was so high, I decided to stop working on the Draenei starting area and cover more of Vanilla first.
Nevertheless, that zone will most definitely get a comprehensive Lore overview!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Yeah man, that's cool. And thanks for your reply. I appreciate that. Pleased the demand is going so well for you!
Are we conting Azuremyst or Gilnaes as starter zones, or do those come later becasue they are not original Classic zones?
Just realized Eversong Woods is a BC starter zone, and Azuremyst is the other one.
You're correct that those areas will likely be addressed later. I chose to make Eversong Woods because of its beauty and as a way to test the waters for Burning Crusade content. However, I'll primarily focus on Classic for now, considering that's what the majority of people are here to experience and enjoy!
I wish these videos only used footage from classic era. That's the only Canon imo
Thanks for this, I am always trying to improve my work and your feedback helps a lot with that!
So... everyone eventually has to go to the shadowlands?
ZUG ZUG
Looks like I was right :D
RIP Draenei 😂😂
Is this your voice or AI?
It's a custom made AI voice, designed for this channel.
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth nice, thanks for responding.
I miss wow
Home 🫡😊
Lok'Tar!
Awesome video,
I'm suspicious you used AI to write the script which would suck, but hopefully it wasn't!
AI is often overly descriptive which I felt was very apparent when describing the landscape, harpies, etc
Everything was "Adjectively adjective generic word to describe an enemy!"
The story is really well put together, however you constantly use the word adversary and valiantly, and part of telling really good story telling is finding words that are not the same to describe the same thing.
You don't mention that relationship between Jaina and thrall diminished because of an attack on a horde trading ship by pirates and the alliance didn't help. And you also barely mention razor hill in passing despite it being one of the most important places in Durotar
Also in the part that mentions sarkoth, you introduce him twice within 15 seconds. That's not something that a good storyteller would do and it's pretty redundant, but a very well could see an AI do that and often times they are very redundant.
Watched the video again and I asked AI to come up with an introduction and it's almost one for one what you said
Narrator: "Welcome, traveler, to the harsh and unforgiving land of Durotar. A realm where the sun blazes relentlessly overhead, and the winds whisper tales of ancient strife and unyielding resilience. This arid expanse, nestled along the eastern coast of Kalimdor, bears witness to the trials and triumphs of the Horde, a faction born from the ashes of conquest and forged in the fires of redemption."
"Named in honor of the legendary orc chieftain, Durotan, this land serves as a testament to the Horde's enduring spirit and unwavering determination. From the towering spires of Orgrimmar, the capital city that stands as a beacon of strength and unity, to the rugged plains where the Darkspear trolls make their home among the Echo Isles, every inch of Durotar pulses with life and history."
I'm not against the use of AI for creating scripts like this because it makes for an epic tale, but please proof read it and make it sound like a human wrote it at least, less adjectives and grandiosity. It sounds like the AI is trying to reach a word count
Bruh not sure if this is AI voice or I'm watching National Geographic XD
It's an AI narrative, to clear things up!
its like david attenburough was voicing it
One minute you incorrectly claim Orcs are native to Durotar, then the next you correctly say they came here after their captivity in the eastern kingdoms
Thanks for noticing! Small oversight in the script :)
Hey is this ai
Hey, the voice is indeed AI, the rest is of course human production.
I feel bad remembering all the Orcs I'd level to 8 or so then delete :( They never got to complete their journeys.
Did the land of the Orcs not appeal to you so much?
