Huge shout out to the cinematic team this year. They really spoiled us with these cinematics. I'm so glad the technology is finally allowing for more of these productions.
Yeah the in-game story ruined everything, the scenery in those is really great and they could be really emotionally impactful if they had some sort of build up to them.
@@HappyroosterYT I think it's a bit of both. Plus, I think the real problem is they have too many writers so the story get's written more by committee than by one skilled writer.
@@HappyroosterYT I agree. Just saying awful storytelling is quite useless when you don't point it out. I wouldn't say awful more...predictable. I don't like being able to call twists like Sylvanas's sudden but inevitable betrayal of the Horde. And while she's always been evil, they've gone overboard on making her evil, I guess for the sole purpose of squeezing out any and all player sympathy for her while just designating Saurfang the good guy because "muh honor". And there were interesting aspects of both that could have been used. Sylvana's battlefield pragmatism vs Saurfang's sensibilities. this was touched on exactly once and it was never determined what Saurfang's alternative to use of the blight was outside of "Fight Really REALLY hard!" I just pray that they do not sacrifice N'zoth upon the alter of patch 8.3 boss. We already killed one Old God this expac, we need to let N'zoth marinade until 9.3 at least.
Its an insult to us animators to say that that the quality of a render is anything to do with the technology. its down to each and every create that took part in creating
Several of the cinematics had callbacks to old scenes. The one for Lordaeron throneroom was a callback to Arthas' betrayal. To a degree very nice, but to a degree they clung to it a bit to much.
@@Iqbalx1 I prefer Yorak's explanation, Jaina isn't the only one. There's also the three from the WC3TFT Founding of Durotar bonus campaign who attacked Daelin alongside Jaina: Rexxar, Rokhan and Chen.
Saurfang gave everything he had for the Horde. His blood, sweat, tears. His own son. His honor. Even his own life. That one Orc represented all that was good in Azeroth, no matter your faction. He was a hero, and will be remembered as such forever. Lok'tar Ogar old soldier.
ive never played wow before, was never a fan of rpg, im an oldschool warcraft 3 fan, great game, dota player , these kind of games have gone extinct nowadays, and also a hearthstone player, i love watching these clips, whoever makes these cinematic trailers , knows what hes doing!
The CG in this is breathtaking. Small muscle movements, fine hairs on the face, lighting, particle simulations, the weights of everything, even the sound fx were impeccable. Kudos to the teams of of vfx artists that did this..... absolutely amazing.
It's getting more affordable, but especially back then, it was extremely expensive. That movie was a huge risk for blizzard and it's unlikely that making a full cgi movie would've payed off.
sebowski wish they would make a War of the Ancients movie, heck I don’t care if they don’t even use CGI lol. That part of Warcraft history is just great.
I never truly appreciated how powerful the imagery of Anduin, the leader of the Alliance bringing a life long warrior of the Horde to his final resting is, not only while the Forsaken guard pay their respects making it clear that the Horde will always come first before any leader. R.I.P Saurfang.
@Karleen Cawranger If you’re referring to his class, I believe he is classified now as a Paladin after receiving his fathers sword. I don’t know if that holds up canonically though
Pro tips to avoid dying in warcraft Part 1: Don't yell "for Azeroth", Don't split Shalamayne, Don't be called Brother by Thrall, Don't be one of Jaina's loved one's, don't challenge someone who uses magic to a mak'gora.
One more tip for the road: Don’t stand near portals. It never ends well. Deadmines, Molten Core, Dark Portal. If it’s an archway and it has swirlies, don’t do it.
It was my understanding that it's forbidden to use magic in a Mak'gora. Sylvanas cheated. But really, is anyone surprised she would cheat considering she has no regard whatsoever for honour.
@@LunaWayve agree. It looked good and such. But you're right on the mutli-stories going on at one time and trying to get something figured out. If they only stuck to one thing and than expended on it in other stories.
BFA is still a great expansion, and i've yet to run out of things to do. But for those who can only handle doing one thing out of the hundreds they do, I can understand.
There are plenty of "X expansion - the movie" videos on RUclips that pair all the cinematics together, but it's really cool to see the official channel do one as well. That way we are 100% certain of everything, from the order they appear to the intent.
Blizzard’s CGI capabilities far surpass any motion picture industry’s standards. I still, to this day, have not seen anything with CGI better than this.
@@danthewatcher9681 as much as I love Zappy Boi, he's still far too inexperienced to lead the Horde. I can see it happening a few xpacs down the road, but definitely not yet.
The story of Varok is one of the saddest in the history of Warcraft. He started out wanting to die, but the trouble was he lacked something worth dying for. And, in the end, he found it. He challenged Sylvanas not because he thought he could beat her, but because he wanted to remind the Horde what it was capable of.
I mostly play or played Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone.. but I loved all these great cinematic trailers that are on YT. (and I also read about the lore / stories of Warcraft. I also learned about some characters by listening to some dudes from YT.. that did Blizzard games related stuff). I do enjoy some of these characters and I also like to play them in Heroes of the Storm. (same goes for some DiabIo heroes. Neva pIayed DiabIo either.. but with the next DiabIo 4 I am planing to try it. They also did a great cinematic trailer for that too. As a guy who also likes a good horror movie.. I gotta try this spooky DiabIo game too)
well , it was the beginning of everything, ending with the birth of thrall , i guess and hope they will make sequels covering all the way from warcraft 3's story to todays world of warcraft's
Old warriors did not get old by accident, they got old by being wise, having the right knowledge, and being tough. Never underestimate an old man who has grown up in a rough profession or a rough environment :)
@Danny O'Donell imagine it, the last cinematic for this part of WoW. Andurin stands along side Thrall, the combined forces of the Alliance and the Horde fighting together for the last time. A final charge against Sylvanas and her forces. "For Azeroth!" They cry in unison, and fly forward to their fates.
@@cerickson017@@cerickson017@@cerickson017 My knowledge of Warcraft lore is just limited to Warcraft 3. Do you mind telling me what happens to Sylvanas? I'm pretty sure she's one of the "good guys" in Warcraft 3.
@Jog Messon Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but the thing is that she has in mind something greater than just the Horde and the Alliance, she is moved by her own interests related to something that only she knows and wants to prevent, or something else. At least that's what it comes to my mind when she says "You're all nothing", refering that the two sides in the war are trivialities to her. Maybe she is like Illidan, and think that her plans will allow everyone to survive a future war.
@@elementengine Not that this is an excuse, but it's not exclusive to Blizzard. Often this happens with actual movies recently, particularly blockbusters due to costs of reshoots. Some of them are a jigsaw puzzle of footage shot with different intent by different directors.
And I used to really like Sylvanis but she is twisted now. I guess the story needs an enemy but that true enemy was supposed to be the old gods, the one controlling Ashara. Maybe controlling Sylvanis too.
@@misterNicarus I dont think so, she has her own twisted reasons for this. If you look at her path it was expected that eventually she would show herself as she is, someone without honor.
they claim that these short animation cost in the millions to produce, and an entire movie would be staggering. Ofcourse I hope they do it one day, something like Halo: Fall of Reach style.
@@-bdl2696 you know this by fact or just assumptions? Since i see so many say things like this "cost them millions to produce" like If its means that the company will go bankrupt If it doesnt success, when in reality its not millions but alot, atleast.
Man, when Anduin tells Saurfang he thought he had honor, geez.. they did a great job with the cgi and the subtleties in the voice acting really showed that struck a chord with Saurfang.
There will not be a Warcraft movie with quality like this,Hollywood is filled with money leeches that ramp up costs for the simplest of things, cinematics like this cost cheaper cause they bypass normal movie making channels.
I thought that was Thrall, but I've always remembered him having a hammer. So when he took his axe out I got a bit confused. I must have missed something, somewhere...I'm usually pretty on top of WoW lore.
@@aspencarter4229 Doomhammer was given to the Shaman players in Legion, as he (Thrall) lost faith in his judgement and his relation to the elements (he used the elements to win a duel against his former pupil, a duel in which he wasn't supposed to use them at all).This axe is a new weapon he's forged and kept around just in case.
Cant believe people are delusional enough to think Sylvanas is Garrosh 2.0 and she has absolutely no intention of saving the Horde.. can we pls get real... she is clearly deceiving both friend and ally to enact a method neither is okay with yet will save them all. Setting herself up as the villian makes perfect sense in that regard..
High Botanist Tel'arn Garrosh 2.0? Nah. If anything, right now she’s an Illidan 2.0 except nowhere near as cool and her reasons are completely idiotic. If not that, she’s just Gul’Dan 2.0
@@FabschOblivion669 That's a very stupid observation but it's kind of common at this point I guess? Blizzard's misdirection with Sylvanas' character is so painfully obvious yet half the player base is completely fooled lmao. Starting to think WoW players have never read a book before.
Hes brother died fighting demons and even Sargeras, hes son died fighting Arthas, but yet I still think Varok got the best ending and the most honorable life an orc could have gotten. Rip hero of the horde, always a pleasure to see you when I'm entering Org in vanilla
Lyoko dident say Varoks death was ”better” then broxs. But Varoks life was filld with honor and the orc way. The ending was better to me becuse Varok deserved a warriors death after all the years of fighting
Adam Ramos I’ve won as horde in Alterac Valley, just have to get some mindliked folks to play defense.. but you know how hard that is.. especially when that defense can turn into a turtle fest and then we lose!!
@Thor I'd bet they're going to do it. All these cinematics are dialouge driven slow burners past cinematics which gives me the impression they're practicing for something longer in the future.The WOD cinematic is really the only other thing that's similar.
You should do this for every expansions from now on tbh. Your cinematics are the most powerful and successful part of you. I don't even play the game properly, love the lore and love these cinematics even more.
same here. I don't play the game anymore I just love it when I see that there is a new cinematic. The game has gotten bad but the cinematic are unique, I get goosebumps every single time !
i doubt they make it again, especially they made Warcraft movie and it failed in north America.. Producers only can about money if it failed the first time i doubt they make it again, however who knows.. Maybe someday..
@@justliketree27 It did well enough in the far east and europe for a sequel. Mental really it never made waves in the states, Warcraft a brilliant film imo
We all thought this was her story, her descent into madness. And ours into the neverending cycle of hatred, of war. Yet we were wrong. This was his story. He meant to inspire us to be better, to push through pain. He taught us to see beyond the mask of our enemy and how it was truly a mirror. A broken mirror, of pain, anguish, suffering, where everytime we beat on it, we beat on ourselves. Aka'Magosh Varok Saurfang. Your suffering is finally over.
@@BleachRush Raise everyone as undead to fight a common enemy? Why did we even assault Icecrown? We should've just let Arthas do this job 10 years ago. Sylvanas's plan is no plan, it's just madness.
@@1Podri We don't know her true plan yet. She has some kind of bargain with Azshara regarding N'Zoth and that cursed dagger shell of Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire... But yes, it'll end badly for us all.
This is fantastic What a way to honor Varok Saurfang’s legacy!! Also this is something everyone has been asking for, a cinematic short film made by Blizz themselves, granted we already saw these and its a combination of all the shorts. First step towards a movie in the future I suppose?!
Pretty sure the production costs would be too high, at least with this level of production. Would certainly be interesting to see what they could do with an appropriate budget and team though.
Yeah the reason they don't make a full length movie out of these is that it costs way too much. Just for a regular anime episode it costs $100-200K, imagine this
@@joeblow3145 Even if the costs would be stupid for production, you have to think "would they make the money back?" and man, with this kind of quality, voice acting, back story, immersion and characters, everyone and their mom would want to see this.
I'm sorry but Sylvanas turned evil even faster than Dany, the writing isn't exactly great. It's just the personal involvement you feel because you play the game and feel part of the world. You'd lose that with a TV series.
Full CGI story (THIS CGI, MADE BY BLIZZARD THEMSELVES) About Arthas! Actually or about the well of eternity... I'd love a movie version of the first legion invasion. 😊
I agree!!!!!!! So epic. In the warcraft movie they didnt really need to film the actors, CGI would have been totally cool. Maybe it's too expensive....
Pretty sure the entire world agrees this is how the “Warcraft” movie should have been. Would have been much more successful and we would have enjoyed many sequels.
I disagree. The movie was an intro for new people and admittedly they tried too much for the time it ran. People like us have experienced the lore over years hence why these CGI shorts make sense. The game fills out the rest as we play.
You know you're something when the old warchief and the king of the alliance carry you into Orgrimmar. He goes now to see his brother, in whose mighty company he will not know shame.
Y'all are toying with our emotions stringing these awesome cinematics together to make a short film. PLEASE make a full-length feature film like this. Keep it in house if you can. Don't let any other cooks in the kitchen! That's what we want!
Justin Priest No. It was an Orc and Horde tradition. It would have been seen as dishonorable for someone to intervene in the Mak’Gora. And honestly, Saurfang had earned his warrior’s death.
@@masteroftheassassins actually slyvanas cheated though, so I think resurrecting him would be fair game. No magic is allowed in the fight. Like how when Durotan faced Guldan and he used warlock magic against him. And again when Thrall used magic against Garrosh in WoD.
I think Anduin understands how Saurfang wouldn't want to be rezzed. His family and his son were already gone. He lost a single combat he likely never expected to win but in doing so he won back the Horde from Sylvanas. If he were rezzed that pinnacle moment of warrior honor is diminished.
Although it may not seem like it, Saurfang won the duel, yes, he died, but he managed to save the horde, probably one of the best characters in the entire history of Warcraft
@@corniel657 Half brother doesn't mean he's a hybrid, it simply means they only share one parent, maybe his father or mother banged another orc Not sure who he is though, this is the first time I have heard of him
@@Grumbledookvid Aw. I thought he was talking about dead family/ancestors, how their spirits were close by and he'd join them soon. Didn't consider he had wife and kids. I feel dumb now. XD
His son stood against the Lich king and said “let it be finished” and he died. He stood against the Lich king’s former minion and said “let it be finished” and he died. Arthas,varian and varok these guys buried deep in my memory.
I have waves of chills pulsing through me when watching this... an absolute masterpiece of emotion and build. Stunning... for the love of all things good in the world just make a movie with this kind of love and support. Blizzard.. please.
Muller Potgieter omg seeing Grommash’s sacrifice as he redeems himself and the Horde against Mannoroth in new HD? The only thing better than the homage in the Warlords cinematic would be that right there...
@@BioNichole1 Doubtful. For Starcraft Remastered they didn't redo any of the game's cinematics. Redoing them would take hundreds of hours and an insane amount of money.
This is absolutely incredible! The feelings and nostalgia from seeing in game locations / characters / items is unreal! Would happily pay money to watch these. Look forward to seeing the next one and amazing work!
Mighty Baloo Well that’s just not true. Blizzard uses their in house cinematic team to make these videos. Blur has done some amazing work such as all the Halo remastered cutscenes and the Star Wars: The Old Republic trailers, but they have nothing to do with these cinematics or Blizzard.
As much as criticize the story as of late, I cannot deny that these cinematics are gorgeous and the production team should be lavished with praise. I would legit watch a series of these just for their fidelity. A great story would be icing on the cake. ;-)
I'm having the same issue. I played Warcraft 3 a lot and feel like Thrall could easily take Sylvanas all by himself. But whatever, she's op now because they need strong bosses I guess. The cinematic does look amazing. Do they use Mocap? Because some of the expressions are really convincing.
True, and definitely my favorite character. That moment when he's looking up and almost weeps from staring into the beauty of the Light, was a great touch to add to the scene.
@Zachary Wymetalek I don't think it was a Mass Res tbh, pretty sure the people wasn't dead so it's more like Divine Hymn, or if HotS is anything to go by its Holy Word: Salvation.
@@diodattebayo1557 Sry for my late reply. The one who died in this video is Saurfang. The one with black hairs behind him is Thrall. Did you watch Warcraft Movie? Do you remember the leader of Frost Wolf Clan called Durotan. Durotan died while fighting Gul'dan because Gul'dan cheated in Mak'Gora. Thrall is the son of Durotan and you could say he is the true hero of horde. Sry for my bad english. Edit: Thrall is the one who said “...we don't get to hide" in the video.
* Saurfang's ghost makes it to the front of Orgrimmar * Saurfang: Phew, that corpse run never gets easier. Hey wait, where's my body? THIS ISN'T FUNNY, GUYS!!
Varok Saurfang's lines: "Let it be finished" - gained from being a Saurfang "For Azeroth!" - gained from wielding Shalamane 2 seconds before dealing damage to a previously undamaged foe. "FOR THE HORDE!" - gained by being an orc
The music the story and the emotional intrecate personifications of face and body language is unparralled, sends perfect messages to what they are and want. This is masterfull on so many aspects.
While i had to stop playing last year, i still keep up on all the news and the cinematics. I cried for Varok and the horde, this was very emotional for me, having played this game for 12 years straight. When the Banshee Queen said "the Horde is nothing" and the guard looked at her like that, i knew it was over for her. She cares nothing for anyone, she is darkness and death only, not redemption. I miss Azeroth so much , this is more than a game its a massive story that weaves its magic into our lives. Someday when im in a place that i can return, i will. For now amazing work as usual Blizzard, you truly are the best in the genre. No other game can hold my heart and attention like World of Warcraft. Its been a truly amazing adventure.
@@narius_jaden215 thats only because you have no idea how much better it could be. oh wait, you do. illidan and arthas' storylines are miles ahead of what they did with sylvanas and now varok's suffered for it.
Cut down 10 enemies, with a single blow? Oh boy, you were still in cradle when we stormed Orgrimmar through front gates, during Wotlk.. That guy, he cut raids with a single blow my friend.
This is the kind of work that makes a nerd like me weep HARD.. Thanks to everyone and anyone involved from lead designers to waterboys! I lost my brother to cancer last year and we played Horde for the single reason of Varok Saurfang. My brother told me great tales of lore and how Saurfang was the one orc that not all alliance hated and feared that some saw him as a bridgebuilder between our forces. In level 60 I didnt understand much of all this.. As I grew I saw our Overlord do more for the Horde than most warchiefs had ever done. The pain and sacrifice this orc was put through and put himself through. For all of us! When my brother died last year a part of me died with my brother.. He wanted peace and was ready for his warriors death even though I was not and will never be. All he wanted was peace. I will never be the same person I once was - I am forever scarred and something was snatched from inside of me that I can never replace, a black hole here of sorts now.. When World of Warcraft lost High Overlord Varok Saurfang I felt the game never being the same either.. Even though I am not a person of faith for some reason I am convinced all of this is for the greater good. I see Saurfang (and in him my brother) as a key ingredient in making my future tales worth exploring I just dont know how yet.. It will make sense I am sure of it.. You simply dont pay the highest possible price you can to get nothing in return.. No! This is the beginning to something even greater..! I miss you brother. Forever! Until we meet again Lok'tar !

There are plenty of "X expansion - the movie" videos on RUclips that pair all the cinematics together, but it's really cool to see the official channel do one as well. That way we are 100% certain of everything, from the order they appear to the intent.
Are we sure this is even CGI anymore? I could swear Blizzard secretly breeds Orcs, Elfs and Trolls to hire them as actors for these
Lmfao. So true
In the newest cinematic I wasnt sure that sylvanas wasnt real. She looked like an actor could be playing her.
Or they found a portal to Azeroth?
@@dinosawr8329 The portal was in Area 51
Blizzard’s CGI capabilities far surpass any motion picture industry’s standards. I still, to this day, have not seen anything with CGI better than this.
Absolutely love that Varok and his son both said "let it be finished". Beautiful throwback to the Wrathgate cinematic.
Like Father Like Son or would it be Like Son, like Father?

@@WingZX1103 its hard, too hard i think.
Lmao some cutscenes wont make this pile of garbage called bfa right
Varok said “Let it be finished” which is a reference to his son Dranosh’s last words before he was killed by Arthas at the Wrathgate.
Thank you for pointing out that subtle detail that nobody noticed, Captain.
@@dawn-blade I didnt notice. Cause I didnt remember. So yes, thanks him, its interesting.
Also, Sylvanas going through the gates of Orgrimmar looks a lot like Arthas going through the gates of the Wrathgate.
didnt notice that one ,thx
as a great fan i feel kinda dumb that i didnt realized that or even that his son frozen dead was the one killed by Arthas. Damm
The story of Varok is one of the saddest in the history of Warcraft. He started out wanting to die, but the trouble was he lacked something worth dying for. And, in the end, he found it. He challenged Sylvanas not because he thought he could beat her, but because he wanted to remind the Horde what it was capable of.

i hate the game, but love the lore
I mostly play or played Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone.. but I loved all these great cinematic trailers that are on YT. (and I also read about the lore / stories of Warcraft. I also learned about some characters by listening to some dudes from YT.. that did Blizzard games related stuff). I do enjoy some of these characters and I also like to play them in Heroes of the Storm. (same goes for some DiabIo heroes. Neva pIayed DiabIo either.. but with the next DiabIo 4 I am planing to try it. They also did a great cinematic trailer for that too. As a guy who also likes a good horror movie.. I gotta try this spooky DiabIo game too)

Pretty sure the production costs would be too high, at least with this level of production. Would certainly be interesting to see what they could do with an appropriate budget and team though.

Yeah since when do priests have battle rez
@@masteroftheassassins actually slyvanas cheated though, so I think resurrecting him would be fair game. No magic is allowed in the fight. Like how when Durotan faced Guldan and he used warlock magic against him. And again when Thrall used magic against Garrosh in WoD.
I think Anduin understands how Saurfang wouldn't want to be rezzed. His family and his son were already gone. He lost a single combat he likely never expected to win but in doing so he won back the Horde from Sylvanas. If he were rezzed that pinnacle moment of warrior honor is diminished.
Although it may not seem like it, Saurfang won the duel, yes, he died, but he managed to save the horde, probably one of the best characters in the entire history of Warcraft
100% agree.

I think the Warcraft movie was fine.
But another one would be awesome.
The music the story and the emotional intrecate personifications of face and body language is unparralled, sends perfect messages to what they are and want. This is masterfull on so many aspects.
Saurfang: Thrall please just come back with me.
Thrall: Me not that kind of orc.
Zug zug
Taboo
Lok’tar ogar!
thrall: MORE WERK???!!
Well i didnt vote for you!
Anduin: You have my sword
Thrall: And my AXE
Saurfang: No bow? Fine..
Dual wielding two-handed weapons, yes
That was Thrall? Sorry I'm not that much into wow yet. I thought he was using a hammer and not an axe. Kept asking myself the whole time who that is.
@@KailGassProjeckt He lost his iconic hammer, Doomhammer during WoD and it was picked up by players and later destroyed during Legion.
@@whenyoucoolasacucumber thanks for the clarification! WoW lore is awesome!
only allience use ranged wepons
Spent hours watching these seperate videos, wishing this existed. Thank you.
And the little details like scratching the frozen chest to get the pendant. Beautiful.
Why am I watching it 3rd time in a row, when I already have seen them separately at least 10 times already!
Legends say he's still watching this on loop
It's that good! It deserved a re-watch! Im still looping daughter of the sea as well :P
While i had to stop playing last year, i still keep up on all the news and the cinematics. I cried for Varok and the horde, this was very emotional for me, having played this game for 12 years straight. When the Banshee Queen said "the Horde is nothing" and the guard looked at her like that, i knew it was over for her. She cares nothing for anyone, she is darkness and death only, not redemption. I miss Azeroth so much , this is more than a game its a massive story that weaves its magic into our lives. Someday when im in a place that i can return, i will. For now amazing work as usual Blizzard, you truly are the best in the genre. No other game can hold my heart and attention like World of Warcraft. Its been a truly amazing adventure.
You can say what you want about the game but the lore of Warcraft is something else, truly epic!
I stopped playing WoW many years ago, yet I still support and subscribed to the lore. So amazing really!
Yea clearly amazing writing mate. Who could had guessed that another warchief would become evil ( :
Not lazy writing at all no no!
@@cipnoh96 Okay, captain sarcasm...
@@cipnoh96 So what? It doesn't make it any less fun, engaging or enjoyable to most of us.
@@narius_jaden215 thats only because you have no idea how much better it could be. oh wait, you do. illidan and arthas' storylines are miles ahead of what they did with sylvanas and now varok's suffered for it.
Cut down 10 enemies, with a single blow? Oh boy, you were still in cradle when we stormed Orgrimmar through front gates, during Wotlk.. That guy, he cut raids with a single blow my friend.
The absolute chad of the horde.
This is the kind of work that makes a nerd like me weep HARD.. Thanks to everyone and anyone involved from lead designers to waterboys!
I lost my brother to cancer last year and we played Horde for the single reason of Varok Saurfang. My brother told me great tales of lore and how Saurfang was the one orc that not all alliance hated and feared that some saw him as a bridgebuilder between our forces. In level 60 I didnt understand much of all this..
As I grew I saw our Overlord do more for the Horde than most warchiefs had ever done. The pain and sacrifice this orc was put through and put himself through. For all of us!
When my brother died last year a part of me died with my brother.. He wanted peace and was ready for his warriors death even though I was not and will never be. All he wanted was peace.
I will never be the same person I once was - I am forever scarred and something was snatched from inside of me that I can never replace, a black hole here of sorts now..
When World of Warcraft lost High Overlord Varok Saurfang I felt the game never being the same either..
Even though I am not a person of faith for some reason I am convinced all of this is for the greater good. I see Saurfang (and in him my brother) as a key ingredient in making my future tales worth exploring I just dont know how yet.. It will make sense I am sure of it.. You simply dont pay the highest possible price you can to get nothing in return.. No! This is the beginning to something even greater..!
I miss you brother. Forever!
Until we meet again
Lok'tar !
