The Story of Spires of Arak - Warlords of Draenor [Lore]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- We prevented the Iron Horde from taking Talador, time to move on into the Spires of Arak where the uncorrupted and corrupted Arakoa are having a war with eachother. On top of that we also have Kargath Bladefist and the Shattered Hand Clan causing trouble, all in all...plenty of work ahead of us!

Percival! Nasty bird...
and then it flies away with a copy of Fifty Layers of Shadow... the rest is history
he was later found writing the movie "Fifty Layers of Shadow" i heard it's got a decent write up
Fifty Layers of Shadow needs to be an in-game item.
a trinket maybe? Lithium
***** voljin dirty voodoo sex, why have u made my mind go here?
12:19 50 Shades of Grey reference
yeah... i still cant believe they did that... I was LMAO when i first heard it...
I giggled so much at the "50 layers of shadows" comment lol
Same
*50 Shades of Gray* reference
Best zone in the entire expansion!
Agreed
Sadly, there weren't that many zones at all...
Wlarius but all of them were awesome.
Não Muito Noob I constantly see people calling Gorgrond bad (probably due to all the changes Blizzard made to it prior to release) and Nagrand boring (probably because people wanted it to be as good as old Nagrand).
Where is Tanaan Jungle and the island that later becomes Netherstorm? And wasn't Zangar Sea going to be an underwater zone? Regardless, Draenor, the continent before the shattering, is smaller than Outland, the shattered remains of the continent. That is definitely not good.
Wlarius old nagrand was boring as fuck though, it was only cool because it was different from the other BC zones
Spires of Arak was the highlight of WoD expansion for me. I absolutely loved the zone, the mysterious and dangerous atmosphere it had and of course the way the story was presented. We're doing many different things, summoning one god, battling the spirit of another, calling upon the Arakkoa heroes of old and listen to their tales. I need to re-visit Terrokar Forest to refresh the knowledge of "our" arakkoa and reflect upon them.
I do have an issue though. Maybe it's not the issue of this particular zone, but I feel like it should've been and although it doesn't have much impact on the story of Arakkoa, it's a major catalyst for it's future. Kargath Bladefist. The Shattered Hand clan is still there, we've dealt a blow upon them, but Kargath Bladefist has stopped us. Then we kill him in...Highmaul? Why not Bladefist Hold? How come one of the Lords of War, who had an awesome little movie made about him is a first puny boss of the entire expansion, that we kill in a gladiator arena many miles from his actual residence. A bit anti-climactic and doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Don't you feel like the story of Arakkoa and the Order of the Awakened should've continued with Iron Horde being the threat?
Oh well. Great zone anyway.
i for one cant look at teh Arakkoa the same due to the genocide i did to them in the Outlands to became a Skyguard and get my mount just to much guilt
***** It's kind of depressing when you go back and look at the Outland arakkoa. They're the Outcasts who have fallen further into darkness and become evil after turning to an Old God to save them, and you look at that and then look at WoD and realize, if we didn't save the WoD arakkoa they would have done the same thing. We are the reason the WoD ones didn't turn evil.
More confusing one is we kill Cho'gall at the end of the Highmaul raid at Mythic... As a side boss. The one sucked all those powers the mighty Ogre Mage is died just like that. I hope they don't throw away Teron'gor too so we can see him going nuts with all those powers he sucked from auchindoun.
Also, whatever happened to Kilrogg and his clan? In the Lords of War episode, he was the one who fought against the arakkoa. Yet, they are nowhere to be seen. Not even mentioned.
I really loved it too. At first I was looking at these corrupted arakkoa with extreme suspicion, because of what I knew about their Outland counterparts. When they started talking about bringing back Anzu and Terokk, I was just waiting for them to go nuts and turn on me. But then more of their story was revealed, and I started to reverse-engineer what must have happened to the Outland arakkoa who didn't have a champion to help them in their time of need... and I just got really sad. Poor birdmen! :(
That's really great story telling, too. Not once does the quest chain refer to the Outland arakkoa and how their story must have been a tragic one, so it's not being all like: "See what we did there?! Aren't we clever!!" You're left to figure it out on your own, which isn't something you see all that often anymore.
The corrupted arakkoa have a lot in common with the Forsaken, actually, but they're still very distinct. I like it. :)
This is my favorite zone in Draenor. The music, the lore, the story, the scenery. It was all so interesting; I loved it. I greatly enjoyed questing through this amazing zone.
Nobbel brings us the story of the Arakkoa narrated by Megatron.
For those unaware, Reshad is voiced by Frank Welker, who voices the original Megatron. ^_^
ALL HAIL LORD RESHAD!!!!
FinalBoss.tv That's awesome
FinalBoss.tv That was great, I laughed pretty hard when I realized it was megatron.
thats why hes one of my favorite characters in this expansion lol
I've liked the arakkoa since BC, but WoD turned them into my favorite race in the entire game. I hope we get them to be playable some day.
Here are some more little references in Spires:
Darkweaver Syth is a boss in Sethekk Halls, which is named after Sethe. Ikiss even refernces his infamous line about trinkets in the Spires quest.
Lithic has a veil in Outland named after her.
Reshad is voiced by Megatron.
Kargath Bladefist is the leader of the Fel Horde on Outland.
Skettis is an endgame zone in Outland (except Terokk is an asshole).
Raastok, Ishaal, and Zellek all appear in Terokkar Forest as NPCs.
There is Hobbit reference in Spires with the scene about the Ogres capturing the party.
There are many, many more, but these are the main ones I noticed.
You know, the affects of Sethe's blood sounds similar to the red mist that turned the Draenei into Broken. Perhaps the Legion used the blood for that purpose.
It would explain why they didnt use that against the humans too.
There was a book near the ghost vindicator in Talador mentioning Arakkoa using red mist to block out the light.
makes sence how broken were made
I think chronicle actually mentions that red mist being a combination of red pox and the curse of sethe.
"50 Layers of Shadow" makes me laugh every time :P
I really hope the arakkoa will be a playable race or at least have a role to play in future expansions
Fifty Layers of Shadow... yeah
What a nasty bird.
12:22
I've been subscribed to you for a while now and I have to say, every time I see you have uploaded a new video I get so excited to watch it. You've become my favorite WoW youtuber!
Regards, Paladinbeer
One of my favorite new rep to work with is the arakoa! They have such an interesting lore so far and its funny how badly I actually wanted to attack that Anzu due to the three year struggle to get his mount to drop before me... still I forgive him because you admitted he wasn't himself so. Thanks for sharing Nobbel!
Hey nobbel :) love these lore vids :) I'm just a bit confused when it comes to anzu... On this iron horde draenor we see anzu as the raven God, but when we fight him in the sethekk halls or whatever it's called, he is named raven lord. Who is then the new raven God, if it is one ofc ;) great work btw with all of these lore vids ;)
19:26 Terokk : ''You must strike your own path. Lay the past to rest and raise new CHAMPIONS'' its confirmed arakkoas as a class in wod
I'm sorry Nobbel but I have to agree with some of the other comments. The narration does sound like Megatron, but from the 80's cartoon though. Love the lore, I'm so amazed at how much you put into these videos. Preciate it
I hope during the final raid of Warlords of Draenor, the allies we made and the artifacts we found on Draenor will be used to help us against the Iron Horde. No, I'm not talking about just clearing a bit of trash for us like the Alliance/Horde did during the Seige of Ogrimmar, but I wan't to have these guys help us out on boss fights, and work mechanics into them that we need to play out. Kind of like the last fight in Everbloom, when we have the mages helping us kill the genesaur, and we've got to free them from the vines, but with a few more raid mechanics.
An Idea? Well maybe there is a boss in the Final Raid, and we have a bunch of Arrakoa to help us out. Healers have to heal them as well, DPS have to kill the adds on them, maybe they've brought some Apexis Technology we can use to help do damage, or some Apexis Constructs the tanks can ride from time to time to take less damage and do more.
There are so many different things Blizzard can come up with, I just hope that NPC's will be more useful and more interactive than in Seige of Ogrimmar.. I got really pissed when we killed the Sha of Pride, and then Lorewalker cho walks in after it's death and says: "Oh! You're alive; I've brought help." Yeah well too late fat ass!
I want this. I so want npc to be involved to helping us kick ass.
As I understand you want something like Bracken fight where instead of shrooms there will be NPCs we need to cooperate
If they involve any NPCs in future raids, those are probably going to be Thrall or Yrell or Khadgar.
Love your videos Nobbel!! Thank you so much for making these.
Terrok should have wrecked Kargaths face.If I had written this story Terrok would have beat the shit out of him and then beheaded him as he begged for mercy.That ending made me so mad.
Hooray and awesome story-telling. I cant wait for what happens next with the arakkoa and if they will be a playable race.
Thanks for this video. I was a curious on the relationship between the non-corrupted and corrupted Arakoa as well as Kargath's random cameo appearance.
I do believe that the Arakoa may have a secret agenda. I think they are going to be the Klaxxi of WoD.
Apexis… that word brings the chill down my spine of how much grind we had to go cause of that.
"Fifty Shades of Shadow".
By the Light... :O
Blizzard has gotten really good in their story telling with this expansion and the last one, and YOU, Nobbel, have gotten good at telling it to us. Great job.
Hey Nobbel! loved your video as always, but something I was hoping you would catch that I've discussed with my friends after questing in spires: Iskaal and other "broken" Arrakoa aren't "cursed", they use the
same model as the cursed ones but we never hear of them/see them being exposed to the blood of Sethe. (Commenting on mobile so can't go getting specific quotes, but I'll try to do them justice with my paraphrasing) the Talonpriest shows you his broken wing and says "before I had a name I had a place in society, the bottom"(in case it wasn't obvious enough the Arrakoa are based on India and their caste system), with one sentence they conveyed SO much emotion and explanation of Arrakoan society, I fucking loved it. The arrakoa punish prisoners by casting them into the pools of sethe, but their lower class, those deemed unworthy of soaring through Rhukmar's skies are broken at birth and not allowed to heal properly. Now I figure they use the same model as the cursed because it's a huge and easy shortcut for blizz to take, which is understandable, but I like to think they are intentionally broken to resemble to cursed, in an attempt to break their spirit as well, as if to say "you look exactly like the cursed, you deserve to be cast down like them but you're lucky we let you live amoung us"(remember in the spires dungeon there are broken in the lower levels). In any case I hope to learn a lot more about them in the coming patches, cheers.
I may be the only one to say this, but I feel like Spires of Arak is the best and most complete zone this xpac. It was a complete story with characters that were established and developed and wasn't dragged down by "bigger" possibilities like in Gorgrond and their titan connections. While yes there is some room for further expansion, what was done here is what Blizzard failed to do with most of the central characters this expansion: tell us why we should care.
i love that you make these videos man! if only i could have seen them before i did all the quests haha :) the lore is so good!!
No doubt that is the legendary Frank Welker who voiced as Megatron Leader of the Decepticons and Fred Jones plus Scooby-Doo as well. And well done about the lore.
This storytelling is great. I didn't play Cataclysm or MoP at all and when i recently bought WoD i got a boost to 90 and started leveling in Dreanor at once. I had a hard time following the storyline. You explain the story really well and now I got some clue of what has happened since i last played. Great videos!
Well part of it might not make sense to you if you never played any of the old Warcraft RTS games. WOD takes place in Draenor before the world went kaput and became Outland.
YAY Nobbel thanks a lot for answering my request mate! really appreciate it :D
So there's an entire race in WoW that sounds like classic Megatron, AWESOME
Please, keep doing these Nobble... telling the story of each zone is a "Awesome" idea
Please, do all of Wow
The Arakkoa and the Botani are amazing! I wish we could see them in the next Expansion.
Legion: Nope
BfA: Went back to Alternate Draenor and all I got is this erect standing orc... are those Botani, Saberon, and Goren fleeing into the Northern Barrens?
Gorgrond part 2: Electric Southern Barrens Boogaloo
I have been fascinated with the Arakkoa ever since Burning Crusade. The fact that we get to learn more about them in Warlords of Draenor is just wonderful. Not only have I gained newfound respect for them, but I think Terokk just became a new favorite lore character of mine.
One thing WoD constantly does and makes the expansion so unsatisfying in terms of lore is like what happens in Arak.
The story ends with practically no change to the world, Skyreach stays, presumably under adherent control and the cursed arakkoa stay on the ground.
Same for talador, Auchindoun is alright but Shattrath still in flames.
Anyways thanks for telling the story so well Nobbel, keep it up buddy
Another great video, my hardrive died 2 months before warlords released so cant play but atleast im getting the story side of it off you Nobbel87, BIG thumbs up!
A thank you, some questions, comments and a request or two:
I just subbed to your channel, I definitely appreciate what you're doing and the professionalism you do it with. This sort of thing is perfect for someone like me who hasn't subbed to WoW for ages but still wants to see what the characters are up to./
Your ten year anniversary video had me feeling the nostalgia pretty hard too. Personally I think there's room for a series, if you're ever looking for something a little less intensive, where you just reminisce about historic moments in WoW itselt. When you were talking about experiencing that open world for the first time and getting trolled I had flashbacks to looking for the undercity and only being able to find this place called Lordearon.
Speaking of the undead, even though I love them the forsaken seem so out of place now that I know cures physically hurt them to cast and recieve. I put my twink UD priest through hell back in the day. Same goes with the actual rarity of resurrection in the lore, it makes sense, but those little details show how different the game is today from where it came from. Peace between Orcs and Humans? Bah! Never!
With regard to this video are these bird guys anywhere in Aezeroth or are they purely a dreanor thing? And isn't it kind of funny that the dreanei either named themselves after the orc planet or named the orc planet after themselves despite being refugees? Talk about entitlement!
Lore wise I would love to see some series' about the lesser focused upon races, for example both the trolls and the gnomes seem like they have fascinating backstories what with being the oldest race on aezeroth with a world spanning empire at one point and the disaster that became gnomeragon respectively.
Wow that was a long comment, any way thanks again and keep up the good work man.
Haaaaa!!!!! "50 layers of shadow" You put that back you nasty bird! Lol
Fifty Layers of Shadow?
...oh lord, the Arakkoa have their own Fifty Shades of Grey!!
I died laughing when I did that quest..."Fifty Layers of Shadow....Percy, put that back this instant! Nasty bird!"
People may question this but my favorite dreamer zone is spires of arak
Wow that is a cool zone! Even though I don't play WoW anymore I enjoy hearing the story from you Nobbel! Keep up the great work!
An Arakkoa patch would be awesome! Dealing w/ the apexis and more of the Order of the Awaken
I really love the arakkoa story line and thanks for saying my favorite line of the Talon King
I completely lost it at the, Fifty Layers of Shadows, joke haha. Have to the small jokes scattered through-out WoW :P
The way Terokk says "forge your own champions" makes me Hope we'll get arrokoras as a race. Hopefully the awakened group
I'd really love for you to do a lore video about Rhonin Redhair. He's hands down my all time favourite character and he has a huge part on the world of Warcraft. Also i think he's really underrated and it's a damm shame Blirzard killed him off. I know it's unlikely but i hope they bring him back. Also while you are at it you can also do a lore story for Veresa Winderunner. Love your videos and i''d like to hear your opion of Rhonin and Veresa.
Spires is my favorite zone This lore just rocks!
I'm pretty sure we will see more of them. According to Lords of War: Kilrogg, there is an Arakkoa presence in Tanaan Jungle - which also fits Hellfire Peninsula where we met them for the first time during the Burning Crusade.
I love Reshad, I really enjoyed doing this zone and learning about the Arakoa.
Wow. They really did a good job on the Arakkoa. This story is awsome, that's all I have to say...
Love your Lore videos! :)
That will be no doubt that voice who voiced as megatron the legendary Frank Walker
I never really got that far into this zone, most because I was doing dungeons and just found the quests kinda boring. I'm glad you made this video though Nobbel, because it looks like I missed out on a lot of interesting lore!
im so thrilled their model and a bit of their lore is ingame :-D theyve always been some of my favorite mobs! :-D
50 layers of shadow, i gotta admitt i giggled there.
The way you roll your Rs is amazing, i could listen to you telling lore all day!
this is defiantly my favourite warlords of drainer zone
That information about the Apexis building a temple in the skies is interesting, Perhaps it has somehow been hidden, and the Awakened are seeking to bring the Apexis back? I'm not sure their power and Gul'dan will make a good combination.
Nobble there sure are a lot of 'gods' in warcraft I know your focused on draenor lore but id like to see a look at all the dieties that we the heros have faced, helped etc keep up the awsome vids
Nobbel, you missed something. After the storyline, or maybe when you get exalted with the Arakkoa, Terokk names your character Talon King/Queen, his successor.
Damn another week to wait for another nobbel video : ( but I was really looking into more of the shattered hand clan I love this clan and Kargath also very mysterious those apexis dudes.. I really want to know more..
Thank you nobbel already waiting for Nagrand video!
Ah perfect! Just sat down on my PC and a lore video from Nobbel! :D
Hey Nobbel LOVE your series, seriously cant get enough. On an unrelated note, what would happen, in your opinion, if the Nehr'zul from WoD traveled through the portal and put on the helm of the lich king?
In our reality, we know that Outland means Destroyed Draenor.. What is Spires of Arak, Frostfire Ridge in Outland? Pieces of NetherStorm?? And why Nagrand wasn't affected by the explosion made by Ner'Zhul back in the timw in our reality... That made me curious and if somebody can answer these questions, I'd be glad :)
Nobbel, Keep up the Good Work
Little GangsterRO Spires of Arak is gone, it's just completely destroyed. The very north part is Skettis in Terokkar Forest, but the rest is obliterated.
I'm starting to think, that since we don't get any more raid after Hellfire Citadel.. We could get a quest/dungeon hub of some sort about this possible flying Apexis place? They could even play it like Timeless Island or something?
Hey nobbel do you think there should be an Arrakoa themed raid later in the WoD story which could include that flying temple?
"Remember, champion: The sun burns the flesh. Only in shadow will you find refuge."
*I'm a blood elf. We ain't scared of the sun. We are the sun.*
Hey, Nobbel! What is the story about Dalaran? I.E the story of how archimonde destroyed the old Dalaran and the story of the new one and why it floats ect? Your videos are great, keep up the good work!
Will not lie, the fifty layers of shadow get me every time.
another great video nobbel :) keep it up!
Nobbel, if the Dark Portal needed Gul'dan and Medivh, then how could normal orcs open the one to Draenor?
These bird people are interesting I hope they do more with them
Can you make a top 5 of YOUR most Wanted playable races?
12:11 don't fuck with nobbel when he wants to learn lore
i wish the arrokoa would be a playable race along with ogres that would kick ass
holy crap is that a new graphics card? looks AMAZING!!!
Keep it up dude, I love your videos.
your voice....so calm.....so hipnotising....so ...
Hey Nobbel, are you going to be exploring the lore in the raids? I don't want to assume that you are going to but it would be cool if you did.
Nasty Bird I love that line and it always makes me laugh whenever I heard or saw it while levelling my chars
Hey nobbel, great vid! i have a question how long (on average) does it take to make a lore video
i really want to see the Arakoa as a playable race, their lore is fantastic and they look cool. The only problems I could see would be faction and classes, also which form of Arakoa to use. I would love to play a Bird Paladin as a purified Arakoa
50 Layers of Shadows still cracks me up everytime I hear it. XD
Well.. I think you should have mentioned that Sith (50 layers of shadow) is a boss in the Sethekk hall dungeon.
And that it's hinted that there is a old god (that we know exist in draenor from BC quest in SMV) beneth Sketis (future raid hoo?) in archiology item. As the tale ends with Terrok going crazy (beakbreaker) in his later days might be due to. And there are those that wanted to summon terrok in the flesh but other feared that his madness lingers. So that is why Terrok isn't summoned, just his power.
I really like this series. I would like to see you do this for other areas as well. Like for northrend or something.
Nobbel you missed something huge in this AND the admiral taylor video. go back to his garrison and in the main building, you will find an NPC who will give you a hint to find a key (by the mines) to open Admiral Taylors chest in the main building. Inside is his journal with MAJOR clues towards the lore and what happened! Please go do this now!
He knows about that and has read Taylor's log, don't worry.
okay then. Didn't see anything about it in the videos that i can remember and I didn't want him missing out on it.
I'm surprised how no one pointed out the GoT reference with Oberyx
I just realized what "Fifty Layers of Shadow" is a reference to and I'm grossed out >_
a video about Dreanor and outland ! :)
+Nobbel87 what do you use to get the lore while you quest, and how do you get the cinematic questing in some of your videos
Man! I wish the Arrakoa was a playable race!
Hey
i have a question about the apexis. In spires of arak we get to learn about the old history of the arakoa race, aperently there was a clan called the apexis witch once ruled all of arak. They learned to mix up solar energy and magic witch made them very powerfull and tecnologically advanced. it's once said in the quest line that the last of the apexis built a flying fortress before they died out and that the apexis crystal that we collect for the arakoa outcast are the very basics of Apexis secrets and powers. so i wonder. Do you think we will se it as a raid patch? for me it makes very much sense since we never got any real explenation for collecting it for them. i would also love to see a flying fortress from the ground :)
so are Anzu, Sethe and Ruk' ancients/demigods since they 'created' the dread ravens,kaliri and wind-serpents?
What if the Arakkoa become a playable race?
I'd LOVE that... Arakkoa for HORDE
Ziliath
Screw that, Arakkoa would be an alliance race, the horde can keep the ogres, they were supose to have them back in cata anyway.
greenxboy1 the ogres wont join us now =/
the Tauren would bond with the Arakkoa over the Sun worship..
the saberon would join the alliance.... if they didn't get the worgen only recently =/
i really hoped that the hozon and jinue would join the respected factions...
but i say Arrakkoa for horde, Etherials for Ally
Ziliath The saberon won't become playable, feral druids have an ability to turn into one.
For the Arakkoa, i think that the corrupted one would be more likely to follow us to Azeroth with Terrok talking about making new champions and if the corrupted ones are the one that become playable, they would bond with the night elves because they prefer the night and the shadows over the sun.
***** wut? how so?
they'd get a limited flight (in combat) racial (IMO), and then eventually allow flying at 70...... how would this be any different than the worgens Free ground mount... did they spit in the faces of all those using ground mounts....... i still use other ground mounts on my worgen.... and what about druid flight form... how it it not any different from that?
YES!!! Just in time to watch with a nice bowl of noodles!
You should start a series on Netflix, because his is basically my Netflix when I am bored.
fifty layers of shadow
12/10 would read
