Back in Burning Crusade I wasn't really old enough to truly appreciate the stories of the game, but since I played a Blood Elf Paladin I thought Liadrin was the coolest character. She was considered a boss like in raids and the faction leaders, but she was a boss for MY class. I think Blood Knight lore is actually one of the things that really got me into all of it. I memorized the "prophecy" from Velen that A'dal told her and it gave me chills remembering it as Nobbel spoke it! I never knew they fleshed out her story more, but I'm glad they did. Awesome video!
Nobbel , srsly , thx for letting us all keep up with the lore, i totally love your vids and hope you will stay with us , until the end of the world (of warcraft)
I know this was 2 years ago, but there really isn't much you can talk about, although I'd love to go back in time to see them. The Blood Elves share the same Lore as the NIght, High and Void Elves for the most part, and then half of Warcarft 3 covered Blood Elves. Where they lost 90% of there population. We also then go to BC, where they lose another 5% of their population. Leaving only 5% left.
Their entire story has been covered, so with Void Elves, they had to add more lore because there was nothing else to talk about. Blood and High Elves also played a large part in Northerend, although some of their content, like the stuff in Crystal Song was removed. They played a significant role in MoP as well, although they were mainly lackys for Garrosh.
Morning everyone! I've seen comments that they hotfixed the leveling in a dungeon. With a new character I mean that logging into an excisting character of level 20 or beyond doesn't count. I also forgot a part of Liadrin's story D: Shame, shame, shame! She also joined Maladaar as they took on Socrethar in Shattrath: ruclips.net/video/6DghWP5Kc18/видео.htmlm53s
I see her as the serious austere oblivious type, and Lorthemar as polite enough not to push it, perhaps due to their individual duties. It'll take some serious in game events for their love to be requited (if she even feels for him at all)
I always liked Liadrin, but she's one of those handful of characters I never really knew too much about. I've never read Blood of the Highborne either. This will be a fun watch, thank you Nobbel!
Lady Liadrin is moving on up there with Sylvanas as one of my favorite wow characters. My main has always been a BM hunter. But in honor of Liadrin I have made a paladin. Well and now my hunter is lvl 101 and my paladin is 105! Lol They are so much fun to play and I just got my blood night tabard and I love it. ❤️❤️
Lady Liadrin is my fave character in WoW and i really hope she will be the next warchief. Only reason i would play horde is because of her and blood elves
Sylvanas is the best warchief in history. Voljin was boring, thrall just got annoying with his hippie shaman BS, and Garrosh honestly wasn’t that bad. What happened with him in mists was just bad writing.. But I mean whatever, Sylvanas is still number one.

Oh wow, I had no idea about so much of this. Such a tragic story; at some parts I was on the verge of tears. But she's one of my favorite characters now, because she seems to do what needs to be done, but feels awful about the bad things she's had to do. She also admits when she's done wrong and tries to make things better, which is a good trait to me. Thanks so much for making this video, Nobbel. I'd hug you, but you'll have to settle for an e-hug. :: huggles ::
Did anyone else catch what Gallel said when he was drugged?! He said "Sometimies it sounds like children screaming... HUNDREDRES OF THEM!" They were VISIONS of things to COME
Thank you for this nobel this was such a good story. Liadrin is one of my favorite characters of all time and you told her story flawless so i thank you very much its one reason why i wont ever unsub you. Your videos are so good and tell all the lore with such percussion and truthfulness so again thank you my friend i really look forward to more videos in the future from you.
I remember rolling a belf palading in BC. And i loved it so much. Im not as much of a lord nerd as you. But for me it was just soo cool, that belf paladins subjugated the light. It was special to them specifically.
I'm totally happy Blizzard made Liadrin unlockable through leveling a WoW character, instead of making you have to buy her separately like with Medivh, Alleria and Magni. They should do those kind of promo things more often. Lady Liadrin is one of my favorite lore characters. My main toon in WoW is her most loyal and determined student.
Love your videos Nobble. Everytime I am stuck in Roleplay, I watch one of your videos, and I begin to dream. And when you're done, I am almost crying, because World of Warcraft has such rich and beautiful Lore, and such fine things you could do... Like right now, I am inspired to play a fallen Bloodelf Paladin, who is wearing a hat and stuff like a mage, drawn to the arcane magic, who has given up the light forever... Looking for something to redeem himself in Life... Ha! So many possibillities!
When I saw the announcement about Liadrin, I did very much hope for a Retribution rep in Heroes of the Storm. Still, despite not actually playing Hearthstone, I saw it as an opportunity to level my first alliance character to 20, and helped a few groups through lfg. Felt pretty good. EDIT: Pretty sure the ''level 20 in dungeons'' thing was hotfixed.
_"salvation awaits us all"_ Except for, you know, those damned to an eternity of torment for one reason or another. Because there are plenty of those beings too, many of whom didn't chose that path. It seems the Light doesn't save everyone, even if they do believe.
I think that the Blood Elf player completeing the Quel'dalar questline is cannon, since, when you have to bring it to the Sunwell, you're about to be attacked by the guards because the blade refuses to be taken back to their original owner; meanwhile as a BE character, they let you keep it, saying "you reclaimend it for your people".
Wow. I am fond of the blood elves. This is an interesting one. Liadrin is the paladin one. She went through some harsh events. There was that one incident in the troll hut. That is really screwed up. Then Liadrin had to kill two friends out of self defense. One of them became a zombie. Yikes. It is nice that Liadrin persisted in following the light. I hope she keeps going.
When someone's background begins with "He got fuck up by Arthas" you know is gonna be a badass, at this point somone should like thank him, he fucking created heroes left and right.
Reithio interesting, because I dinged 20 in a dungeon on the first day and it worked. I am not saying it wasn't a bug, it just didn't affect everyone who tried to ding in dungeons.
and still the people in hearstone is so lazzy that they dont change the silver hand recluts!! silver hand!! Liadrin! no way! she needed some blood knights...
+TheGrimest so you want them to take time away from making something new in the game to make a new pally class so that they can summon one one blood knights? so would you rather have the new hearthstone xpack or a new char that does what a norm pally does, but a different thing being summoned?
Bulink the alleria skin haves a diferent arrow animation, magni haves a diferent "shiled up" animation, I dont know why its so much to ask, its part of the identity of the character, silverhand= Uther blood knights= Liadrin
TheGrimest it takes time to program, and for the ones that have thous different animations keep in mind that they are paid for meaning that Blizzard makes money from them, this one is free meaning they will not so why take the time when like all the others its a skin change, and Like you said different ARROW different SHIELD UP animations not effects or cards its the same thing here the effect is the same. Like i said if they made it so she summoned Blood Knights it would take a great deal of time, and man power to do this if they simply changed the picture then they would need to make it so its replaced for her, and not uther record new audio for it draw up a new image, and make a whole new card as each card is in and of itself singular yes I am sure they made it so it was a type of temp let, but that is audio name, art, and animation that they would have to redo for something that in they in will make them no money so just think they would need to take someone off the cards for the new x pack record new audio get someone to make a new animation or more then like a group, and then put that all together in to a single card all that work you really think that they would do that? it only makes sense.
Your videos never cease to amaze me! Keep up the great work, I hope blizzard make an assistant for lore walker cho called nobbel, I would like to ask for a brann Bronzebeard lore video :)
They should at least redo B-elf zones and silvermoon city and the dead scar and remake both blood elf zones to fit the new zone. Make the blood elf zones rebuilt with no more arthas in their zones and give them a bigger population and area, making them an actual force to be reckoned with.
Nobbel, I always liked the character John J. Keeshan. I liked his involvement in the Redridge Mountains storyline, but is there any more about him than just in that one zone? Maybe put in the rest of the Bravo Company as well please?

All paladins have hammers.
Liadrin also adopted the blood elf orphan Salandria! She's the one you see during children's week.

She needs a new unique model, she's too important to have a basic blood elf model
Nobbel , srsly , thx for letting us all keep up with the lore, i totally love your vids and hope you will stay with us , until the end of the world (of warcraft)
It sucks that the Blood Elves and Tauren don't get much lore love :P
Way more then the poor gnomes

Blood elves are high elves.
Just slightly edgy and angry with no shits given about using a lil fel magic.

I got the achievement on my max character

+Nobbel87 Thanks for that link. I always wondered what happened to the former Exarch.
+NEMESIS1999 well fuck you too xD
the whole liadrin and blood Knight thing felt so disconnected when it first came out in tbc, i'm glad it's clearer now
1:45 I like how he just has the Elves in their healing animation but upside down xD
*WOOP WOOP*
New ship ready to sail!
Lor'themar and Liadrin!
I see her as the serious austere oblivious type, and Lorthemar as polite enough not to push it, perhaps due to their individual duties. It'll take some serious in game events for their love to be requited (if she even feels for him at all)
WOOP WOOP !!
Lady Liadrin is becoming one of my fav lore characters. She is such a bad ass❤️
I always liked Liadrin, but she's one of those handful of characters I never really knew too much about. I've never read Blood of the Highborne either.
This will be a fun watch, thank you Nobbel!
This just reminds me that the Scourge was the greatest foe ever.
Lady Liadrin is moving on up there with Sylvanas as one of my favorite wow characters. My main has always been a BM hunter. But in honor of Liadrin I have made a paladin. Well and now my hunter is lvl 101 and my paladin is 105! Lol They are so much fun to play and I just got my blood night tabard and I love it. ❤️❤️
Lady Liadrin is my fave character in WoW and i really hope she will be the next warchief. Only reason i would play horde is because of her and blood elves

This story is so sad and brutal! But very interesting
I love your videos. I listen to them while playing and it massively increases my gaming experience. Thank you Nobbel!
Always looking forward to your videos Nobbel. You truley are the king of lore and an amazing story teller.
I love lady Liadrin. She was my inspiration for trying out a ret pally as an alt and now she is my main. Such a fun class and such amazing lore.❤️

She is badass xD
im sure it wasnt that big back then
Its rare I find a 30min video that can keep my attention throughout, but your storytelling is really excellent nobbel, bravo!
thanx nobbel, i love the story of lady liandrin! :D
this was awesome :D
I may be missed that but she'll be a follower for paladins in Legion.
And i'm glad that canonically she's the one that has Quel'Delar :D
Dear Gods her lore is bad ass.
I remember rolling a belf palading in BC. And i loved it so much. Im not as much of a lord nerd as you. But for me it was just soo cool, that belf paladins subjugated the light. It was special to them specifically.
AAAAH NOBBEL!! Thanks for this! I adore Liadrin. Wonderfully done as always!
This was a right and proper video Nobbel, these are my favorite. I like learning about the undead more so then any other history in WoW.
ty soooo much for this vid nobble, you have no idea how much a love this character, and like you say, i hope they give us more lore about her.
so glad you finally did this video love Liadrin but didnt know to much about her
I didn't excepted that it will be a Wow lore, I thought you will do this as Hearthstone lore!
Good work anyway! :)
You have the perfect voice as both a wow lore narrator and any fantasy lore narrator
Nobbel you are awesome.You activated my warcraft side and I thank you very much for that.Stay cool and keep up the great work!
Yay stuff on Liadrin finally! thnx Nobbel! Been waiting for her story:)
dude I had no idea she had such lore. thanks Nobbel!
At long last! Selama ashal'anore.
Lady Liadrin's story is continued in the paladin order hall campaign in Legion.
Very nice, Nobble. I liked how you used the heart container from TLOZ series.
Lol just going off that one picture from that particular angle I always assumed Liadrin was a dwarf lady.
I'm totally happy Blizzard made Liadrin unlockable through leveling a WoW character, instead of making you have to buy her separately like with Medivh, Alleria and Magni. They should do those kind of promo things more often. Lady Liadrin is one of my favorite lore characters. My main toon in WoW is her most loyal and determined student.
Lady Liadrin is my absolute FAV Char. I really love her.. she is a really real Char with her action's.
M'uru still got the short end of the stick lol
Really well done video, loved the use of in game models/backdrops.
yo nobble, blizz oughta hire you or something. Just love ur story times man, they are awesome!!!. Makes me miss wow, sniff sniff.
I love your lore videos!
Please do the story of Lor'themar when you have the time.

always wondered about her, now I know...thank you for doing such a faboo vid for such a great story.
I really like your lore videos and this is definitely one of your best videos so far. Great job, Nobbel. Keep it up :)
can you make one for Lor'themar ?
As a death knight, you face her at Light's Hope when you try to resurrect Tyrion as a Death Knight, but she stops you and kills Darion.

I like how their hair doesn't fall down from gravity when hung upside down
I was wondering why Liadrin hadn't unlocked for me, thanks dude lmao
I did it in a "trial" account (my sub have been out for over 1 year now) and i did reach in lvl 20 inside the dungeon.
hotfix
Wait how though?
+Armando Montero same
+Armando Montero
I too got to level 20 inside a dungeon, using the dungeon finder.
I got the hero in hearthstone now.
+Armando Montero how long does it take? I dont play wow but i love paladinso how long?
I've been wanting you to do her for awhile.
i really like this lore for Lady Liadrin i just got into WoW today becouse of your lore video i made a paladin blood today :D
Awesome video, as always
I think that the Blood Elf player completeing the Quel'dalar questline is cannon, since, when you have to bring it to the Sunwell, you're about to be attacked by the guards because the blade refuses to be taken back to their original owner; meanwhile as a BE character, they let you keep it, saying "you reclaimend it for your people".
I think its beautiful that she went from pious priest, a staunch objectivist diest, and back to her devout religion.
Nobbel your voice is amazing!
Wow. I am fond of the blood elves. This is an interesting one. Liadrin is the paladin one. She went through some harsh events. There was that one incident in the troll hut. That is really screwed up. Then Liadrin had to kill two friends out of self defense. One of them became a zombie. Yikes. It is nice that Liadrin persisted in following the light. I hope she keeps going.
When someone's background begins with "He got fuck up by Arthas" you know is gonna be a badass, at this point somone should like thank him, he fucking created heroes left and right.

I love the stories not only about liadrin but about other like arthas, that the light failed them at a moment and they would change

I think a nice addition to the videos is if you had an annotation that said where the lore was from
Great recap of Liadrin's story! Any chance of Lor'themar being done at some point? ^^
Geeze, Blizz.
Give Lor'themar and Liadrin a moment in the least.
A little easter eggs in this video at 24:57 that is the quote from movie "Signal" if any of you remember :)
Your videos never cease to amaze me! Keep up the great work, I hope blizzard make an assistant for lore walker cho called nobbel, I would like to ask for a brann Bronzebeard lore video :)
Or even better, GENN GREYMANE PLEASE! Or just worgen in general :D
They should at least redo B-elf zones and silvermoon city and the dead scar and remake both blood elf zones to fit the new zone. Make the blood elf zones rebuilt with no more arthas in their zones and give them a bigger population and area, making them an actual force to be reckoned with.
