Hey Doron! Great video. You mention that Meryl Felstorm is the first undead not associated with the scourge or Forsaken, but what about the Night Elf Banshees left over from the War of the Ancients, the undead and mummies used by the trolls for thousands of years and before that the "not-living" proto drakes spawned by Galakrond? It seems that undeath has been around for a very long time, far longer than Meryl Felstorm.
Nazgrel was Thrall's right hand "orc" for a LOOONG TIME and in any other reality when Thrall left in Cata, Thrall would have left the horde to him, but instead blizz went with Garrosh because drama and horde needs to be eeeviiillll
@@TheGrimest then your comment makes no sense. Nazgrem was not utilized after Thrallmar as stated in the vid. Nazgrem had nothing to do with Garrosh's Horde. Your original comment therefore sounds like you think he is Nazgrim.
@@matus19971 ?¿?¿? my comment was about Nazgrim being an important lore character, who could have been a good replacement warchief, but blizz went with Garrosh cause drama... I truly do not understand what part you are reading wrong... are you blind? or just an idiot?
Also Tyrande tried to get Shandris and Jarod together one time but it didnt work and Jarod got married to another woman. But after she unfortunately died, they came closer once more and are warming up the idea but they 're still not a couple.
Modera was pretty badass in Draenor. Talking about how she could rain fire and destruction on some demons or something, but doesnt cause she wants us to be sneaky
Pretty sure he won't be a warchief. With the end of BFA they did away with the title and pooled together like the leaders of the alliance. He'd more likely be a representative coleader to Thrall for the orcs.
Yeah he's not going to be Warchief while the Horde is led by a council Plus he's really old, so when the political change that'd allow him to be warchief, he'd likely be dead.
BTW I'd ad Broll Bearmantle to this list. I discovered him in the Stormrage novel and really liked the character. However, in-game he just has a role in the druid order hall and in BFA he just stood still in Magni's camp in Silithus. He needs some love.
He also stood around a couple times in WotLK durring the Alliance pre-expansion event (him being there not canon), and also durring the Alliance battle for Undercity.
if i remember good jarod shadowsong was genius in combat and he even demi gods like cenarius listened to his orders, was mentioned something about this in cata
It was mentioned really well in the war of the ancients trilogy, he completely put himself down regarding how amazing he was at commanding, he respected Ravencrest, even tried to prevent the assassination, but he left the military because he hated the limelight he got. Cenarius knew he was a great leader and accepted him even when he didn't accept himself as a leader informing all the other demigods to listen to Jarod
Its so sad how little to no action Eitrigg gets in the game,same as Halduron,god forbid they do something cool/powerful or be in some cinematic or something
Don't forget Shandris is Tyrande's ADOPTED daughter! Tyrande in the war of the ancients spotted her and took care of her for a little bit, which lead to Shandris being obsessed with Tyrande, she followed her round and in the end Tyrande had to give in and let her come with her, Shandris joined in the war with the sisterhood, people even mentioned how if you didn't know any better that they were biologically related because Shandris looks similar to Tyrande, which eventually lead to Tyrande adopting her as her daughter. Shandris also had a HUGE crush on Jarod Shadowsong (Maiev's little brother) which is touched on in Wolfheart that they had an interest in each other but had different goals so he picked a priestess of Elune and ran off with her instead of Shandris. Shandris never let go of her feelings for him and when he returned with his dying wife she basically hinted she's sad for him but also wishes the best pointing out that she still liked him, and back in the war of the ancients he thought she was attractive, a little young not far off finding herself a mate but still younger than he would have picked but non the less she had a mutual crush with Jarod Shadowsong. Edit: Didn't realise Jarod was Number 1 on the list when I wrote my comment but, Jarod and Shandris had a huge history together and we're huge characters in the books War of the Ancients trilogy as well as Wolfheart
Shandris also was a factor in malfurion not dying to xavius in the first face to face fight she fired a couple arrows at him as he was about to kill mal didn't douch but it distracted him long enough for Mal to force a retreat
Gazlowe, Gar'tok (from Razor Hill) Chen Stormstout, Little Timmy, human farmers & nobles from WC III Azsune (from Stonetalon Peak) billions Of people forgotten in time.. :(
Gazlowe is the current leader of the goblins and is literally in Heroes of the Storm along with Chen. Chen has also many spotlights in the recent expansions... gtfo lol
@@mrexclusive3271 Hmmm.. gtfo to you, dude. I just left the comment about those characters who don't get much attention how they deserve. They're not totally forgotten but.. really, they deserve more attention. Gtfo.
I agree with most of these characters. Wow has always had this issue, that some characters are over used while others fell to oblivion even though they're supposed to be really important. A little more balance is overdue. Btw I still have Vargoth's staff in my inventory in one of my characters, as I never handed his quest. I pop his image out every once in a while.
i'm surprised you didn't put Medan the son of Medvih and Garona here... i just wish Blizzard would add Medan in WoW properly like they did with Tandred.
I am guessing this list was for in game characters, for Medan if put in needs to be put carefully due to previous dislike. Though I think some of the criticisms is not fair.
I agree. I also seem to remember her being around lots for BFA as well as the pre-patch. I personally don't see how she fits on this list. While not a major toon, she is always around and active in quest lines.
I think Rommath should be here. The student of Kael'thas. He was also the messenger between the Blood elves that joined the horde and Kael's own forces. He is also one of the leaders of silvermoon. I cant remember where but he was comparable to Jaina but it was some time ago. He is very powerful but some reason he doesnt do anything in game. He made Aethas his pet and dunno why Aethas has gotten more screentime than him.
I am so glad that someone finally mentioned that badass Grand Magister! He is truly powerful and notable character, especially among elves. He is an Archmage but refused using the title. Etc. Big up!
shandris feathermoon also refers to tyrande as her mother in shadowlands, probably not quite literal but tyrande could have raised her as an orphan i have no idea, or possibly is a mother figure in her early life,either way this makes them extremely close in terms of relationship.
This was one of your better videos in my opinion. Not saying others are bad, but I felt you did a great job with reasoning and I agreed fully. Sometimes I feel you’re more theorycrafting and can make assumptions. As a long time fan (been playing since WC3) I found myself nodding in agreement a lot
Even from a developer standpoint, it does suck when characters get shafted or put aside. Though, what’s gonna keep you relevant...years down the road? New characters, stories, mechanics, etc. it’s good to keep some old stuff but there is so much stories in the WoW lore that it’s almost like a pick and choose what can we add to our new xpac. I will say this though: New doesn’t always mean it’s going to be good...so maybe in another game or down the line in the same game these characters might get spotlight.
lol Shandris Feathermoon is stronger or as strong as Saurfang as a world boss, she's in the night elf island in Feralas if u wanna have a quick 40 man raid wipe
Arator have complicated family. Father: Holy warrior of the light Mother: Ranger-General of Blood elves Aunt: Crazy bitch who was a general turned undead turn war-chieftain turn Azeroth enemy
Nor should you. draka never did anything of note except give birth to thrall. Yes she was also a warrior, but so were many women of the horde. I'm sick of Blizz trying to shoehorn characters into the game just because they were given a passing mention in a piece of lore ages ago or because they're related to some other NPC. Then they expect everyone to act like we give a damn about them, hell I don't even give a damn about thrall ..that's right I said it ... f'ing worst warchief the horde has ever had, and I'm including the evil ones when I say that. Say what you want about Blackhand or gul'dan but they never handed over the whole damn show to some rando that no-one, not even the rando himself thought could handle it just because they were friends with his daddy. lol
@@TheByron130 to be honest i like it when characters we know little about get their own in depth stories after their character arc is over but the way blizzard does this is annoying. if they were to introduce characters gradually. like, let's say we read stuff about Draka in some burning legion base or hear about her from some burning legion commander. This would make her appearance in shadowlands MUCH MUCH BETTER. blizzard's story management sucks. it is a trainwreck.
Nazgrel was major on WC3 , all hardcore WC3 fans know him and played with him Modera was always big , even jaina acknowledged she's stronger than her Shandris really ? She's kinda overrated not underrated mate, she is a pseudo faction leader For me broll bearmantle and archdruid hamuul runetotem are incredibly underrated. Rokhan being their third Rest of the list is legit
I don’t understand why you said Shandris is overrated, she didn’t do much in legion and she is only in the spotlight until recently. Shandris could have been the perfect character to lead the alliance military in the Broken isles in Legion like how Maraad did in Wod, she could also have played a much larger role in Garrosh’s version of siege of Orgimmar, shame blizzard didn’t do them. Broll is definitely underused tho.
@@alexdabruh she took the screen time that should’ve been tyrande’s. I don’t know why they decide to make the confrontation happen with freaking shandris
I’d probably be like #11 if this was a top #11 list. If I didn’t kill those druids from the Wailing Caverns, they’d probably take over Orgrimmar or something
I know all of them, but still the greatest story is about the love of Mankrik and Olga but everything changed when the Quilboars attacked.. BTW *bbbbbbbeeeeeffffffff* quilboar noise when they Die. Search it on youtube.
Halduron's lack of representation in the game is really annoying, his lore in the novels is great and he really needs a big role next time Blood Elves take a leading role in the story.
i can get the son getting nothing. i mean he literally hasnt done anything but search for his parents. very limiting to story. no big chieves or doings like everyone else.

i got one grand magister rommath
Tyrathan Khort
Holy shit, now that you mention Arathor... I realize he could be the child of light and shadow that keeps being mentioned in these lore teasers
Fits the description more than Illidan did. Maybe Xe’ra was wrong?
Should have chosen Arathor, he would have accepted the gift and Turalyon wouldn't have gotten so jealous since he would have been proud

yoo thank you!!! I'm sorry but his ads are sooo annoying at the beginning of every damn video..
I confused Nazgrel for a long time with Nazgrim.
Oooh shit, i just realised I've been doing that aswell
Same
Justice for Nazgrel
wasn't shandris also the adopted daughter of tyrande as well?
yep
Also Tyrande tried to get Shandris and Jarod together one time but it didnt work and Jarod got married to another woman. But after she unfortunately died, they came closer once more and are warming up the idea but they
're still not a couple.

Wanna see more Eitrigg action in the game. Hopefully future warchief 😎

We saw him in action in the war fronts during BFA
Idk, the lore is dbz lvl now
@@kaleoandros25 DBZ has lore? I thought it was just all "scream haha punch face"?

And then there was that time him, Valeera and an amnesiac Varian were in a gladiatorial fighting ring together.
@@beastmaster0934 Yeah but that was in a comic book right? Not in-game.
“10 major lore characters *no one* knows/cares about”
I definitely took this as a challenge and did not let myself down 😂
There are more, for example: Ivar Bloodfang, Danath Trollbane and Jorin Deadeye
That book about Eitrigg and Tyrion was so Awesome.

If you play the night fae in SL Shandris is kinda important and Blizz gonna do more with her due the Tyrande story on the shadowlands
I agree. I also seem to remember her being around lots for BFA as well as the pre-patch. I personally don't see how she fits on this list. While not a major toon, she is always around and active in quest lines.
So glad you mentioned shandris feathermoon, my favourite night elf character :)
Great video

Really enjoyed this, Ty for the work you put in.

Shandris is also the adoptive daughter of Tyrande
Great list, though I didn't think Nazgrel was freed from the camps since Frostwolves weren't part of the Horde durring the 2nd War.

u did a injustice using nazgrels warcraft reforged model over the original
Medivh is so obscure even you forgot about him :D

More like Chad Shadowsong
May I add
A hunter is nothing without the hunt
Maeive Shadowsong is only famous because of her persistency to catch Illidan.
Nazgrel was awesome...back in Warcraft 3 ;)
Shandris is also the adoptive daughter of Tyrande and I guess by proxy Malfurion.
Number 0 - Korialstrasz. No one cares about him so much, that he isn't even in this top
To make them feel better the most powerful and richest families on earth pay alot to stay hidden and unknown.
Arator have complicated family.

Mother: Ranger-General of Blood elves
