well, you forgot one part. Gul'dan did manage to escape the Tomb of Sargares, he made his way to an inn, and is now playing cards with all who would be challengers.
So if Gul'dan highjacked all the Ogre Magi of the horde, since they were loyal to him anyway, instead of taking a handful of hapless grunts with him, and if he took Cho Gal with him instead of letting him guard the ship he would have most likely won that battle gotten the Eye of Sargeras and became even more powerful that ever before!!!
jesus, Gul'dan in my mind is the most evil of the villans, he not only wants to destroy but manipulate and use people for his own ends. like some of the craziest where leaving the war in search of power knowing full well they would lose, or the breeding programs, and other stuff O.O
Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen a great villain in WoW. That's why I hope that Gul'dan survives the events of WoD and finds out a way to travel to our present timeline somehow and start messing with things there.
It would make sense if it was just the Champions and the alliance. This is no longer so because of garrisons Will be giving Champions their own armys, so it would be very hard to give a reason gul'dan would survive
GOSH! Finally! Nobbel, please do more videos like this! I know WoD is very important but.. you know I really love how to storytell us these lores! Always rooting for you Nobbel!
I wanna join The Iron horde. Think about it a Horde filled with Orc's never enslaved by the burning legion. Never under the leadership of Guldan and never had warlocks. That is the Horde i want to be in. FOR THE IRON HORDE!
That's why was first excited for expansion when saying that we're about to meet all the warlords and then.. wait we're gonna fight them all but durotan? Psychness got sucked right out
He was, but he was also too passionate in my opinion. He is usually the guy in the shadows. The one that controls the situation, but is not right in the front. In the movie he was all like "You will obey me because Im powerful." Thats not how he usually goes. He is maybe one of the most powerful warlocks, but his best power is manipulation which goes along with clear mind. Not with this childish rage outbursts he showed in the movie. The CGI though was...
Blizz confirmed that the actions of Gul'dan and the Legion will be high for the last patch of WoD. Which makes me think that Gul'dan has something to do with Grom being the boss of this xpac.
It was said that the encounter will have a heavy Legion influence. Personally, I hope Grommash is barely part of the final encounter - or at least give us a real reason to fight him. There's no reason for him to be the final boss, especially when we've had a year of Garrosh and Blizz said they weren't going to go that way.
Grommash will not be the final boss. He'll be a patch boss for sure but there's no way it'll be so simple. Even in BC they knew that just Illidan wasn't enough, so we had an invasion by Kiljaeden. All sorts of things could happen, an invasion on Azeroth by the Naga, Sylvanas going crazy, the evil under Tirisfall showing itself, the Bronze Dragons becoming infinite, the alternate timeline's legion invading in Alternate Draenor, something involving Wrathion. There's a lot of potential above just stopping the Iron Horde.
Kokainuser i think it would be cool if WoD Gul'dan somehow comes into posession of the Skull of Gul'dan from our timeline, and finds out about the Tomb of Sargeras. with the additional knowledge, this time he is able to get the eye and sieze power for himself
I am so glad I finally found a spoiler free lore video to watch. Don't take this wrong, I admire the work you have been doing for WoD, but I want to keep my experience in WoD as spoiler free as possible, so I have restrained myself from watching most of your videos in the past few months.
Hello Nobbel, old player here coming back for the lore... Used to love your content and still do. Thank you for reading this, and thank you for endless hours of your time telling me everything I needed to know about my favourite game ever while I was boosting noobs and taking the views of Azeroth. Loktar ogar!
Im surprised this story wasn't on your list of the first must do lores but i am happy to know a bit more about the monster that gave illidan his demonic powers
Love your accent..;) And thanks for the explanation in the video that you made. I am a huge lore fan of WoW, Vanilla vet here. Looking forward to the new expansion!
Gul'dan was not killed by Sargeras in the tombs as WIII says... He was murdered, judged by betrayal, after escaping the tombs, by Doomhammer's troops . This is also the main reason why the Horde didnt won the Great Second War... they were splitted in two big factions... guldan's ands doomhammer's forces. Seeing an opportunity on that, the Alliance striked first, before they could be restored after that rag-tag. And then the portal was destroyed only because that. Blizzard managed to erase an rewrite the true story of WarCraftII
Gul'dan is my favorite warlord too especially for his warlock appearance. Will we get to see how he was contact by the burning legion in warlords of draenor as the timeline is different to the original time line where he took over Nerzul? And so you think we will see that it will be Archimond or Kiljaden that first contacted Gul'dan? Also, i may be so bold, is there any war gear similar to Gul'dan, like the skull spikes on his back or the chains on his robes? Also, i think you are an amazing lore-master or Lorewalker ^^ for warcraft
Why though? Gul' Dan made Grommash, his clan, and the rest of the orcs his bitch. Conquered a planet. Is the most powerful warlock in existence. Grom has....a named axe.
Lillie Craft Yes it is irrelevant, since he was the first one to drink the blood and fuck his race in the first place. They wouldn't need saved if not for him.
Something that is not touched on here that is fairly important in defense of Ner'zhul; he was tricked. He had visions of his dead wife Rulkan, controlled by Kil'jaeden. He often communed with her prior to the arrival of Kil'jaeden's trickery. Seeing this vision, when visions of ancestors were typically trusted, Ner'zhul believed that combating the Dreanei was a correct action. He only learned of the deceit after it was too late. You can read about this in Rise of the Horde, by Christie Golden.
With the next expansion looming, rewatching some of this... _Whatever happened to Medivh?_ That's the last we've seen of Sargeras' soul. Maybe he possessed Med'an after that so we finally get to kill him!
I still believe that despite what people are saying the gul'dan in the trailer IS our gul'dan as well as alternate timeline one because simply the timeline shifts AFTER they drank the fel blood
Pretty much the single most evil character in the franchise, and that includes dudes like Sargeras, at least he has a guiding belief in what he sees as the failure of the Titans order as his core reason for his great evil. Gul'dan just wanted personal power, and everything he ever did was in persuit of that, his desires were 100% self-centered and he was just completely selfish. As long as he got his power he didn't care at all what happened to the Orcs.
It would be cool if the skull of Gul'dan had a similar effect to the Lich King's crown or even Frostmourne. When you have it in your possession you will here the whispers of the spirit within the object. Perhaps whoever has the skull of Gul'dan will here his whispers, creating a second lich king. Or something like that.
From what I know about the lore of WoW, let me list all the Human Kingdoms that I know of and try to provide lore on them. Warning, this could be a very long comment. Kingdom of Stormwind: The last standing human bastion of civilization. Home of the Alliance, where King Varian Wrynn leads the Alliance, with his son Anduin backing him up. The lore of Stormwind City is quite lengthy, you can find the information easily on the internet. Kingdom of Lordaeron: Former home of the Alliance of Lordaeron, now fallen into shambles because of Arthas Menethil's meddling. It is now the home of the Forsaken, where they skulk around in the dark and wet sewer system beneath the former capital city. Kingdom of Stromgarde: Technically part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but has fallen into disrepair due to bandits and marauders. This Kingdom used to oversee their land of Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Foothills. Kingdom of Gilneas: The Gilnean people walled themselves off from the rest of civilization due to the threat of the Plague spreading throughout northern Lordaeron during the 3rd war. The Greymane Wall was shattered during the Shattering (The Cataclysm) and the Feral Worgen that lived in Silverpine Forest flooded in and started the epidemic that turned Gilneans into Worgen. These are all the Kingdoms that I know of, however, there are still some important cities where Humans lived and were part of a Kingdom. These are: Stratholme City: Part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Stratholme was the first place where the Plague was documented to start, with the help of Mal'Ganis the Dreadlord. Arthas Menethil, who was trying to stop the Plague at the time, purged the city of all the sick and ill, before setting sail to Northrend to track down Mal'Ganis and finish the fight. Durnhold Keep: Part of the Kingdom of Stromgarde, Kingdom of Lordaeron. A place where Orcish prisoners were kept, awaiting execution. Thrall was being held here and with the help of the Bronze Dragonflight, you free Thrall, and help him continue on this way to become the Warchief of the Horde.
The Godlygamer no english is just not my primary language sorry if i offence you. but you are out of the topic. im just saying nobble do an awesome job ^.^
Plot Twist: Future expansion pack we actually go to the tomb and uses the eye of Sargeras in order to get to the home land of Sargeras' army and we wipe out the demonic force to the extent where barely any demons exist but Sargeras takes a flee to another planet that was conquered. With a ton of Titan lore to show, that he had returned to some awkward shadow planet that was created where the old gods orginally formed and long the way. We learn that Arcane magic is truly the basic of the whole story line of World of Warcraft (as if we didnt know already). Showing that it could be used in a Morally good sense (Naruu) and a Morally impure sense (Demons). And in the truth of reality of it, the Arcane magic is good nor evil (think about it Arcane magic drives their user crazy over time and needing more, but is useful when a time of need, Khadgar can be an example.) Kidding this probably wont happen but I can at least see they'll split up the potential "Burning Legion" expansion to two parts other than just making it one. I mean it would be too much for one expansion pack for that to occur.
Gul'dan is one evil son of a murloc... even in alternate realities, he is dangerous seeing how things went down in WoD, I'd hate to see what would happen if he actually managed to get his hands on both Sargeras' scepter and burning eye.... though finding what he did may be just as dangerous..
Velen didn't want to at first. He had to land the Exodar on Draenor, after the Naaru Ku're got sick and couldn't steer the ship any longer. The Draenai then had to rebuild their lives on Draenor, and reconstruct their dead society alongside the orcs. If you want to blame anybody, blame Archimonde and Kil'Jaden for joining Sargaeres even after Velen told them not to.
You are a 250,000 year old prophet who lives a peaceful life on a peaceful planet with your content people and two younger brorhers. Suddenly your brothers sign a pact with a DEMON TITAN against your will and raise an a demon army to destroy your civilization and murder you in cold blood.You lament and weep for many days, overcome by grief and loss. Suddenly you come face to face with a godlike creature, that fills your lonely study with blinding lights and sweet music, who be stills the sweet taste of hope after your many days of you grieving the loss of your brothers. He tells you to go to the highest mountain on your planet, along with your people, and meet him there again on the longest day of the year. You quickly gather your faithful people, and preach to them what words of wisdom the creature told you. Your people understand you and reject the vile influence of Sargaeres and his followers. When the day draws, you gather your bearings and muster your people and head to the highest mountain peak on your home planet. Shortly after arriving, you are beset by all sides by your enemies, the peak about to be taken by The Sargaerai. Your followers cower and cry in panic. "Mighty prophet!" They cry, " Too long have we known peace ! We have never seen such evil before. Pray almighty prophet, how will we defend ourselves? We are not warriors, nor can we fight." You look into the sky with tears overflowing your eyes, your old heart heavy and your mind distraught. You pray for the godly creature to come save your people " Ku're, help us..." All of a sudden the mountain bathes in a blinding light, your enemies not able to advance. Tears of sadness become tears of joy and relief as you gaze upon the majestic godlike creature, who as promised, come to save you and your people. He summons forth a mighty vessel, of which you have never seen before; a vessel big enough to carry your entire civilization to safety. The Naaru Ku're tells you that your home planet is dead, and that your only hope us escaping the Legion. He gestures for you and your people to get onto the ship, while he takes you away from this dying place, towards other planets that you may attempt to rebuild your shattered lives. You keep this fugitive charade with the Legion. Trying to find a planet to colonize, and escaping frantically when they find you. Until one day, you sense your ship lagging, slowing down. You ask the Naaru Ku're what is wrong. With a heavy voice, he tells you he is gravely ill, and can no longer pilot the Exodar. You nod with a heavy heart, pitying the noble creature that had been trying soo hard to protect you from evil. You nod, as he changes trajectories, landing on Draenor, which would later become your new home. Was it really Velen's fault for all these mess ups?
Every action has a result. Often its not what you expect. He tried desperately to save his people, but doing so he brought destruction over other people. You cant blame him. It is what it is. Thats how it goes in real life as well.
Velen never wanted to hurt anybody. I agree that his course of actions following the Naaru Ku're were inevitably destructive, but the Sargaerai didn't give him alot of options. Don't forget that it was Velen that brought the SunWell back to the Blood Elves(along with Muruu), and created the Shatari and Aldor factions after Shattrah City was restored.
So even after death, Gul'dan can speak through his own skull... Does this mean he found a way to transcend the boundaries of mortality? I see this as a possible means of returning to the plane of the living for him.
Hell scream was the first to accept the gift? I thought Hellscream poured it out after Gul'dan told him he had to give everything...then Hellscream used his axe to slice Mannoroth right in the skull.

well, you forgot one part. Gul'dan did manage to escape the Tomb of Sargares, he made his way to an inn, and is now playing cards with all who would be challengers.
Same with illidan!
Extraordinary.
So if Gul'dan highjacked all the Ogre Magi of the horde, since they were loyal to him anyway, instead of taking a handful of hapless grunts with him, and if he took Cho Gal with him instead of letting him guard the ship he would have most likely won that battle gotten the Eye of Sargeras and became even more powerful that ever before!!!
2:17 Guldan's spikes perfectly matched the background. Looks like guldan's thirst for power extends that of your video!
Those are the three thigns Gul'dan cares about: Power, more power, and screw whatever means it takes to get it.
duuuude wtf lol at 2:25 the spikes in the background line up perfectly with the spikes on gul'dan's back haha anyone else notice that?
MrTab001 lol
Huh pretty cool
I always felt that "darkness incarnate" part to be somewhat over the top. But since I saw the movie, I now understand. He really is ^^'
"Okay a number 1 combo large, and what would you like on your burger sir?"
Gul'dan: "Everything."
here i am giggling to 6 year old wow lore comment :--D
One of the best parts of a Sunday. sitting down of a evening with a cup of tea loading a new video and hearing "Hello everyone"
gul'dan is not only my favorite warcraft character..but one of my favorite charaters from all media
He's my favorite HS character and I love him
This is really well researched and put together. I like how you used different media to keep the visuals going. Overall, amazing video
jesus, Gul'dan in my mind is the most evil of the villans, he not only wants to destroy but manipulate and use people for his own ends. like some of the craziest where leaving the war in search of power knowing full well they would lose, or the breeding programs, and other stuff O.O
Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen a great villain in WoW. That's why I hope that Gul'dan survives the events of WoD and finds out a way to travel to our present timeline somehow and start messing with things there.
It would make sense if it was just the Champions and the alliance. This is no longer so because of garrisons Will be giving Champions their own armys, so it would be very hard to give a reason gul'dan would survive
Cho gall is even more badass betraying even gul dan he is crazy
Dreadnought D He's not nearly as evil as Sargeras
Looks like you guys predicted Legion.
What an absolute perfect way of ending my evening! - WoW lore, BY NOBBEL, about what is probably one of my favorite characters :)
2:17 my OCD is pleased that you matched the spikes in Gul'dan's picture with the ones in blade's edge
Omg pause video at 2:35 then look at the horns coming out of Gul' dan's back and look how great they match up with the background.
w t f...good eye you got there buddy
GOSH! Finally! Nobbel, please do more videos like this! I know WoD is very important but.. you know I really love how to storytell us these lores! Always rooting for you Nobbel!
I wanna join The Iron horde. Think about it a Horde filled with Orc's never enslaved by the burning legion. Never under the leadership of Guldan and never had warlocks. That is the Horde i want to be in. FOR THE IRON HORDE!
Also a horde a horde founded on manipulation by Garrosh in his desire to kill everyone on Azeroth because, like a child, he didn't get his own way.
Yea i would help him invade azeroth if I could IRON HORDE ALL THE WAY
That's why was first excited for expansion when saying that we're about to meet all the warlords and then.. wait we're gonna fight them all but durotan? Psychness got sucked right out
young6777 yep... flatten those innocents! IN THE NAME OF FUTILE REVENGE!
YUP for the IRON HORDE THE TRUE HORDE!
you all have to listen to this guy on speed 0.5
Joash Grice he sounds stoned as fuck
Yolo Swag is stoned as fuck
Joash Grice Bwhahahahah sounds like I'm telling a story after a long night of drinking
Nobbel87 Try at 1.5 speed.
+Austin Powers 2 makes him sound like his just 2 mdma caps
Love the lore, you cover alot of information. Gul'dan was purely greedy & he was his own undoing
Your lore is legend...I will enjoy changing it!
Damn you Kel'thuzad!We've killed you 3 times,STAY DEAD!
+Arthas Menethil Would have made more sense if I was still called Gul'dan.
GUL DAN WAS SO BADASS IN THE FILM
ikr
He was, but he was also too passionate in my opinion. He is usually the guy in the shadows. The one that controls the situation, but is not right in the front. In the movie he was all like "You will obey me because Im powerful." Thats not how he usually goes. He is maybe one of the most powerful warlocks, but his best power is manipulation which goes along with clear mind. Not with this childish rage outbursts he showed in the movie.
The CGI though was...
He's a fucking dick with no honor
Yeah, that's Gul'Dan! He doesn't care about that kind of thing.
I am badass
Blizz confirmed that the actions of Gul'dan and the Legion will be high for the last patch of WoD. Which makes me think that Gul'dan has something to do with Grom being the boss of this xpac.
It was said that the encounter will have a heavy Legion influence. Personally, I hope Grommash is barely part of the final encounter - or at least give us a real reason to fight him. There's no reason for him to be the final boss, especially when we've had a year of Garrosh and Blizz said they weren't going to go that way.
Grommash will not be the final boss. He'll be a patch boss for sure but there's no way it'll be so simple. Even in BC they knew that just Illidan wasn't enough, so we had an invasion by Kiljaeden. All sorts of things could happen, an invasion on Azeroth by the Naga, Sylvanas going crazy, the evil under Tirisfall showing itself, the Bronze Dragons becoming infinite, the alternate timeline's legion invading in Alternate Draenor, something involving Wrathion. There's a lot of potential above just stopping the Iron Horde.
+Awkward Squirtle like in my other comment - whilst I hope he isn't the final encounter, Tom Chilton confirmed that he was.
Kokainuser Or, sadly, he will be, like Tom Chilton said in an interview.
Kokainuser
i think it would be cool if WoD Gul'dan somehow comes into posession of the Skull of Gul'dan from our timeline, and finds out about the Tomb of Sargeras. with the additional knowledge, this time he is able to get the eye and sieze power for himself
And what, Nobbel, must we give in return for this video?
...everything.
...20 minutes of your day.
John Doe Your brain.
A like and subscribe...
This is not his destiny!
I am so glad I finally found a spoiler free lore video to watch. Don't take this wrong, I admire the work you have been doing for WoD, but I want to keep my experience in WoD as spoiler free as possible, so I have restrained myself from watching most of your videos in the past few months.
Another great video. Thank you for all the hard work and research you do to spread the lore of Warcraft, It is very much appreciated.
Wow, really well made video Nobbel, kudos!
It's fantastic that I can look back at videos this old with that quality, I hope this channel is still alive.
Hello Nobbel, old player here coming back for the lore... Used to love your content and still do. Thank you for reading this, and thank you for endless hours of your time telling me everything I needed to know about my favourite game ever while I was boosting noobs and taking the views of Azeroth. Loktar ogar!
Im surprised this story wasn't on your list of the first must do lores but i am happy to know a bit more about the monster that gave illidan his demonic powers
My favorite characters in WOW are Medivh and Gul'dan, both awesome characters who changed the world(s) forever.
nice work, my favorite is Nerzhul, still cant wait to see what will happen with Guldan, he is beyond interesting and can do so much evil things.
Gul'dan, the worst pitch man in orc history. "You'll gain super duper bad ass powers, for the low low cost of....EVERYTHING!!"
ah, a perfect bed time story :)
Ikr same
yeah too bad it's narrated like shit
you never had to listen... and no one cares about your opinion
nobbel ur vids are too good to be true! keep up with the good quality! greetings from peru
Activate subtitle (english),
Go to 9:57,
Laugh hard
+WiDOC Oh... my...
Gul'dan seems to go by Cool Dan xD
Anyone else notice the conveniently placed spikes behind gul'dan's picture at 2:25 ?
great video. great explanations.
Love your accent..;) And thanks for the explanation in the video that you made. I am a huge lore fan of WoW, Vanilla vet here. Looking forward to the new expansion!
Gul'dan was not killed by Sargeras in the tombs as WIII says...
He was murdered, judged by betrayal, after escaping the tombs, by Doomhammer's troops .
This is also the main reason why the Horde didnt won the Great Second War... they were splitted in two big factions... guldan's ands doomhammer's forces.
Seeing an opportunity on that, the Alliance striked first, before they could be restored after that rag-tag. And then the portal was destroyed only because that.
Blizzard managed to erase an rewrite the true story of WarCraftII
Gul'dan is my favorite warlord too especially for his warlock appearance. Will we get to see how he was contact by the burning legion in warlords of draenor as the timeline is different to the original time line where he took over Nerzul? And so you think we will see that it will be Archimond or Kiljaden that first contacted Gul'dan? Also, i may be so bold, is there any war gear similar to Gul'dan, like the skull spikes on his back or the chains on his robes?
Also, i think you are an amazing lore-master or Lorewalker ^^ for warcraft
My favourite Warlord is actually Grommash Hellscream.
Same
Me2
Why though? Gul' Dan made Grommash, his clan, and the rest of the orcs his bitch. Conquered a planet. Is the most powerful warlock in existence. Grom has....a named axe.
Nekross
And the fact that he killed Mannoroth and saved the Orcs in Regin of Chaos is irrelevant right?
Lillie Craft Yes it is irrelevant, since he was the first one to drink the blood and fuck his race in the first place. They wouldn't need saved if not for him.
15:34 to this day. i think that rune looks like the symbol on the door tot he woman's public bathrooms.
Something that is not touched on here that is fairly important in defense of Ner'zhul; he was tricked. He had visions of his dead wife Rulkan, controlled by Kil'jaeden. He often communed with her prior to the arrival of Kil'jaeden's trickery.

You can read about this in Rise of the Horde, by Christie Golden.
Nobbel: I might not be able to tell you everything
Gul'dan: EVERYTHING
yay more videos from Nobbel! my favorite History teacher xD
This guy sounds like a draenei.
With the next expansion looming, rewatching some of this...
_Whatever happened to Medivh?_ That's the last we've seen of Sargeras' soul.
Maybe he possessed Med'an after that so we finally get to kill him!
I can't keep myself from repeating "Heeello everyone" with you everytime
at 2:25 look at gul'dan spikes it matches perfectly with the background nice nobbel !!
2:28, nice placement of Gul'dan, really works with the spires behind him ~xD.
Gul'dan is my FAVORITE villain of all time wow wouldn't be without him he is the start of wow
This is f*cking awesome!
ty for making the story of gul'dan i was waiting for it
Correction: New born son Go'el. Thrall was a name given to him by Aedelas Blackmoore.
I still believe that despite what people are saying the gul'dan in the trailer IS our gul'dan as well as alternate timeline one because simply the timeline shifts AFTER they drank the fel blood
I can't wait for the Warlords explanation. I also love your lore videos the lore is so interesting thanks for all of the informative videos
You know I just figured out something. Gul'dan is like the biblical Cain. That's why he's so interesting.
I've never subscribed to anything on youtube but your videos are just too good to miss...keep it up bro
this has to be updated imo lol
2:42 lol the 'spikes' on gul' dan shoulders line up with the background
Pretty much the single most evil character in the franchise, and that includes dudes like Sargeras, at least he has a guiding belief in what he sees as the failure of the Titans order as his core reason for his great evil. Gul'dan just wanted personal power, and everything he ever did was in persuit of that, his desires were 100% self-centered and he was just completely selfish. As long as he got his power he didn't care at all what happened to the Orcs.
Gul'Dan is a cheater.
:(
yea but blizzard wont perma-ban him...hes too important in warcraft
no im not!
Gul 'dan You absorbed souls instead of actually fighting your enemies.
+Akalioun OFFICIAL im too lazy and old to fight
It would be cool if the skull of Gul'dan had a similar effect to the Lich King's crown or even Frostmourne. When you have it in your possession you will here the whispers of the spirit within the object. Perhaps whoever has the skull of Gul'dan will here his whispers, creating a second lich king. Or something like that.
**hear
Could you do an Overview of the Human Kingdoms? Like talk about Kul Tiras and then Stormwind and so on? Please?
Sadly there is not much story behind most of them.
I know but it'd be awesome. Or maybe an overview of each factions as a whole, something like that.
pretty sure he talked about them in the story of warcraft (like 1 hour video)
Oh I know but more in depth rather then gloss over
From what I know about the lore of WoW, let me list all the Human Kingdoms that I know of and try to provide lore on them. Warning, this could be a very long comment.
Kingdom of Stormwind: The last standing human bastion of civilization. Home of the Alliance, where King Varian Wrynn leads the Alliance, with his son Anduin backing him up.
The lore of Stormwind City is quite lengthy, you can find the information easily on the internet.
Kingdom of Lordaeron: Former home of the Alliance of Lordaeron, now fallen into shambles because of Arthas Menethil's meddling. It is now the home of the Forsaken, where they skulk around in the dark and wet sewer system beneath the former capital city.
Kingdom of Stromgarde: Technically part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but has fallen into disrepair due to bandits and marauders. This Kingdom used to oversee their land of Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Foothills.
Kingdom of Gilneas: The Gilnean people walled themselves off from the rest of civilization due to the threat of the Plague spreading throughout northern Lordaeron during the 3rd war. The Greymane Wall was shattered during the Shattering (The Cataclysm) and the Feral Worgen that lived in Silverpine Forest flooded in and started the epidemic that turned Gilneans into Worgen.
These are all the Kingdoms that I know of, however, there are still some important cities where Humans lived and were part of a Kingdom. These are:
Stratholme City: Part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Stratholme was the first place where the Plague was documented to start, with the help of Mal'Ganis the Dreadlord. Arthas Menethil, who was trying to stop the Plague at the time, purged the city of all the sick and ill, before setting sail to Northrend to track down Mal'Ganis and finish the fight.
Durnhold Keep: Part of the Kingdom of Stromgarde, Kingdom of Lordaeron. A place where Orcish prisoners were kept, awaiting execution. Thrall was being held here and with the help of the Bronze Dragonflight, you free Thrall, and help him continue on this way to become the Warchief of the Horde.
Awesomely telled... Mad thumbs up! You have more lore storys? If not plz do some! Great!!
4:51 Love that voice!!!
I had to rewind coz I was reading the comments and this guy speaks so quick.
Gul'dan was always my favorite character, my main is inspired by his power and his determination to make his mark on the world.
Gotta say i loved the way, that the art of Gul'dan lined up with the background @ 2:44
Yay a new lore video that doesn't have spoilers for WoD.
and what gul dan would you like for your toppings?
EVERYTHING
"I greet you".
Why is Thrall blue if his parents Kel'thuzad and Neltharion refused the blood of Hogger?
Because Kel'thuzad has been around Scourge magic, duh

The Godlygamer
A typical ignorant moron.
The Godlygamer no english is just not my primary language sorry if i offence you. but you are out of the topic. im just saying nobble do an awesome job ^.^
There is one thing however. In the start of Warlords of Draenor Grommash DID NOT drink the demons blood
I absolutely love your vids, nobbel ! Don't stop making them ! You're amazing
I don't even play WoW and love your lore videos.
2:45 gul'dan's back spikes are matching the spikes in the background
The final raid, could be if Guldan claimed the eye, it would be awesome.
Whooooo A REAL LORE VIDEO AGAIN!
Loved it.. I think all your vids are amazing Nobbel87
I'm mostly just a hearthstone player but I've always liked WOW lore.
Plot Twist: Future expansion pack we actually go to the tomb and uses the eye of Sargeras in order to get to the home land of Sargeras' army and we wipe out the demonic force to the extent where barely any demons exist but Sargeras takes a flee to another planet that was conquered. With a ton of Titan lore to show, that he had returned to some awkward shadow planet that was created where the old gods orginally formed and long the way. We learn that Arcane magic is truly the basic of the whole story line of World of Warcraft (as if we didnt know already). Showing that it could be used in a Morally good sense (Naruu) and a Morally impure sense (Demons). And in the truth of reality of it, the Arcane magic is good nor evil (think about it Arcane magic drives their user crazy over time and needing more, but is useful when a time of need, Khadgar can be an example.)
Kidding this probably wont happen but I can at least see they'll split up the potential "Burning Legion" expansion to two parts other than just making it one. I mean it would be too much for one expansion pack for that to occur.
thank u so much i really enjoy these series so much :D
Gul'dan is NOT A WARLORD, he's a ennemy of the Iron Horde and he still trying to make them drink the demon blood
I'm so glad that Nobbel's favorite warlord is Gul'dan. I love Gul'dan too! Long live the Shadow Council!
I waited for this, ty nobble
Gul'dan is one evil son of a murloc... even in alternate realities, he is dangerous seeing how things went down in WoD, I'd hate to see what would happen if he actually managed to get his hands on both Sargeras' scepter and burning eye.... though finding what he did may be just as dangerous..
Damn. These are so well made...
In the cinematic Garrosh clearly pours the blood back and claims he and his Iron Horde will never be slaves.
The cinematic is for the Iron Horde timeline not ours
Also, Grommash*
Few things in this world are more buttery than "Heeeeello everyone" and the rolling of the letter R.
Anyone else come here from the Warcraft movie?
Yup
...yup.
yup
YEP the only thing i didnt get was garona but now its clear
yup
Another great video, as usual Nobbel
Poor Orcs. If fucking Velen never came to Draenor, that would still be a lovely world and orcs would live as they were before.
Velen didn't want to at first. He had to land the Exodar on Draenor, after the Naaru Ku're got sick and couldn't steer the ship any longer. The Draenai then had to rebuild their lives on Draenor, and reconstruct their dead society alongside the orcs. If you want to blame anybody, blame Archimonde and Kil'Jaden for joining Sargaeres even after Velen told them not to.
You are a 250,000 year old prophet who lives a peaceful life on a peaceful planet with your content people and two younger brorhers. Suddenly your brothers sign a pact with a DEMON TITAN against your will and raise an a demon army to destroy your civilization and murder you in cold blood.You lament and weep for many days, overcome by grief and loss. Suddenly you come face to face with a godlike creature, that fills your lonely study with blinding lights and sweet music, who be stills the sweet taste of hope after your many days of you grieving the loss of your brothers. He tells you to go to the highest mountain on your planet, along with your people, and meet him there again on the longest day of the year. You quickly gather your faithful people, and preach to them what words of wisdom the creature told you. Your people understand you and reject the vile influence of Sargaeres and his followers. When the day draws, you gather your bearings and muster your people and head to the highest mountain peak on your home planet. Shortly after arriving, you are beset by all sides by your enemies, the peak about to be taken by The Sargaerai. Your followers cower and cry in panic. "Mighty prophet!" They cry, " Too long have we known peace ! We have never seen such evil before. Pray almighty prophet, how will we defend ourselves? We are not warriors, nor can we fight." You look into the sky with tears overflowing your eyes, your old heart heavy and your mind distraught. You pray for the godly creature to come save your people " Ku're, help us..."
All of a sudden the mountain bathes in a blinding light, your enemies not able to advance. Tears of sadness become tears of joy and relief as you gaze upon the majestic godlike creature, who as promised, come to save you and your people. He summons forth a mighty vessel, of which you have never seen before; a vessel big enough to carry your entire civilization to safety. The Naaru Ku're tells you that your home planet is dead, and that your only hope us escaping the Legion. He gestures for you and your people to get onto the ship, while he takes you away from this dying place, towards other planets that you may attempt to rebuild your shattered lives.
You keep this fugitive charade with the Legion. Trying to find a planet to colonize, and escaping frantically when they find you. Until one day, you sense your ship lagging, slowing down. You ask the Naaru Ku're what is wrong. With a heavy voice, he tells you he is gravely ill, and can no longer pilot the Exodar. You nod with a heavy heart, pitying the noble creature that had been trying soo hard to protect you from evil. You nod, as he changes trajectories, landing on Draenor, which would later become your new home. Was it really Velen's fault for all these mess ups?
Every action has a result. Often its not what you expect. He tried desperately to save his people, but doing so he brought destruction over other people. You cant blame him. It is what it is. Thats how it goes in real life as well.
Velen never wanted to hurt anybody. I agree that his course of actions following the Naaru Ku're were inevitably destructive, but the Sargaerai didn't give him alot of options. Don't forget that it was Velen that brought the SunWell back to the Blood Elves(along with Muruu), and created the Shatari and Aldor factions after Shattrah City was restored.
I guess you are all right. I'm a big fan of Orcs and it was really painful to see them suffer. :'( Especially Durotan and Frostwolf clan.
Your R's are funky :D
I hope you will do the Story of Kel'Thuzad, since he is my favourite WoW Villain and Naxxramas is just incredibly cool :D
So even after death, Gul'dan can speak through his own skull... Does this mean he found a way to transcend the boundaries of mortality? I see this as a possible means of returning to the plane of the living for him.
Awesome!
.075x speed is best for playback.
Hello everyone!!! ^^ - each video :P very cute :D
Hell scream was the first to accept the gift? I thought Hellscream poured it out after Gul'dan told him he had to give everything...then Hellscream used his axe to slice Mannoroth right in the skull.
That was when Garrosh traveled back in time and told Grommash not to take it. That was WoD.
Amazing job on the video man
So Gul"dan was very powerful himself. So I wonder what kind of powerful demons/guardians of the tomb actually killed him
sarageras is the destroyer of worlds
Guldan doesn't look at all menacing in his wc3 profile pic.....
