Dear travelers! In light of this month's Halloween, I present to you, The Lore of Duskwood! Diving into Duskwood's tales was like opening a treasure chest of stories. While I tried to capture the essence of legends like Stalvan, Mor'Ladim and Abercrombie, I had to summarize them to keep the progression in tact. But fret not! I'm planning on releasing in-depth lore videos on these stories soon. There's so much more to explore in Duskwood, and I'm excited to share it all with you. - P.S. It has come to my attention that another wise lore seeker, Cedric Ironbook, has created a compelling story about an "Unknown Soldier" in these very woods. Take a look for yourselves! ruclips.net/video/9wYFwG7LB4o/видео.htmlsi=THQjh5mvMuQ0sn0_
Your mention of my 'Unknown Soldier' story warms the heart of this humble lore seeker. Your chronicle was fascinating as always, Loremaster. Keep up the great work, and may your adventures in storytelling continue to captivate and inspire your audience. - Cedric Ironbook
These videos really do show how important it is to read through all the quests rather than just skipping it and pressing "Accept", no matter how tedious reading is. The game has soooo much absolutely fantastic lore that many tend to miss out on simply because they skip on examining the text presented to them. Fantastic videos! Been binge watching for the last few hours!
Duskwood’s eerie atmosphere hides much rich lore beneath its shadowy surface. I’m glad you're diving into it with me! Be sure to enjoy the rest of your journey through the darkness and don't tell anyone yet, but there might be a Halloween episode set in the lands of Duskwood coming up!
This is the one I was waiting for! I've watched most of them, and each time I thought "Please, do Duskwood soon". I wait no longer. Thank you very much. Excellent video!
I don’t care if this is AI honestly. The content is good and it’s calming to listen to, please continue with the content, if we could get Silverpine forest next, I would be thrilled!
All I'd ask is a double check on the grammar. One video had some typos and it really takes you out of it when this voice says something off haha. Love the series though!
@@texasfan541 I completely understand your concern and this is something I've strived to get perfect recently. It means going over the script and narration multiple times before release and it gives me a lot more peace of mind, knowing the pronunciations are on point!
genuinely the only ai generated / enhanced content i’ll ever enjoy. the voice sounds good and the lore is correct. i like falling asleep to it though i know the lore already, it’s like being read a familiar bedtime story
One of my favourite zones in the game aesthetically. So much amazing atmosphere from what is essnetially just an extended part of Elwynn but just made darker and spookier. A perfect video for this month!
It wasn't until I watched this video that I realized the entirety of Duskwood is mired in tragedy, between the inhabitants who succumbed to its corrupting influence and even the woods themselves, being turned from Brightwood to the Duskwood we know now, its given me an even greater appreciation for a zone I already love to death. Awesome video, always looking forward to the next!
You can tell the amount of detail that went into creating this zone with all the overlapping themes and stories of sorrow! Thanks for the support and until next time!
Finally had a chance to watch this one, and-of course-it did not disappoint! Duskwood is undoubtedly within my top five favorite zones of all time. Thank you so much for making this video, especially within just a few weeks before Halloween!! 🎃 Life has been very busy this month, but all is good...and better than ever thanks to this video (as well as your previous one regarding Darkshore, which I was also finally able to watch a few days ago)! Can't wait for whatever you release next!
Coming back to you after a few days as well! A busy life often signals good times for me personally, as it means there’s much to accomplish, even if time is limited. I'm grateful to know everything is going well with you, John. Thank you for your time to respond to all the messages I've posted recently. It always warms my heart to see a notification coming from you specificly, knowing how kind hearted they always are. Happy to still have you here with me. Have a good time, and I’ll see you in next one!
Yet another great video, this time covering one the zones that probably scared the crap out of me the most when I first played thought it. Formerly known as Brightwood, behold the spooky zone of Duskwood.
I have vivid memories, scared to my core walking on the road through Duskwood. This constant feeling of an unseen thread, lurking in the forest, watching... Still gives me shivers!
Great narration! Love the writing and your voice is very suitable for such storytelling. Thank you for all these videos and look forward to more WoW lores videos.
You are the bestt WoW lore channel! Started to play in Cataclysm and I were overwhelmed by all the lore... So I never read the quests and not Until I started to playTurtle WoW this year that I start the true Azeroth experience. Reading all the quests now I truly love the lore of Vanilla... So please keep your focus on Vanilla because you are unique here!
Imagine that a voice-over cutscene introduced you to a new quest line, like the Scythe of Elune, the same way its presented here. Even people who skip all dialgoue would have a greater connection to the plot, and far more intentionality and purpose in completing each quest. What a rewarding experience that would be. Well done once again, Chronicles. Always look forward to these zone lore videos in particular. Fingers crossed for Un'Goro Crater.
I'm very glad to hear this! With each video, I aim to better myself and create something that surpasses the previous video. This time, guiding both the viewer and the group of explorers through the important questlines in the zone, as well as tying some together, really made for a great narrative! Thanks for all your support!
It’s a little immersion-breaking on the horde side though - I get whiplash hearing the in-game voice lines then switching to a posh human voice from the voiceover.
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth The main road through it also reminds me of many a road/path I’ve walked through a darkened wood at night, often on my way home from somewhere while a bit intoxicated. There’s lots of places like that where I live.
I miss when Stitches use to run freely and scare the absolute plops out of everyone. I remember the first time he one shotted me and my friend, I think I actually cried.
This is so good, the text is beautifully written. It reminds me of the old Sierra games like Kings Quest, those games shined purely because of the story telling! Imagine if blizzard had this narrating in their zones through out your progression. Its so stupid they dont have this, the cutscenes are ugly and the dialog is so low effort it brings nothing to the game, it would be so healthy for the game, because in reality the game struggles to be half as emmersive as a game from 1990
ahh my second favorite zone, i remember always getting a slight sense of dread when going in on alts, though i'll always hate what blizz did with darkshire during legion basicly turning the whole zone into nothing but another dead zone.
Duskwood’s got so much (dark) history! Plenty of hardship, but there’s resilience and hope hidden in those shadows too. Have you got a favourite spot in the area?
You forgot to mention Lord Malathrom who is in the catacombs under the cemetery. He's kind of like a vanilla rare and drops Spiked Collar. I'm not sure what the lore is regarding this character but the Spiked Collar was very famous back in the day during vanilla.
Content is top notch! Personally I didnt have problem with AI voice - personally I'm not vocally gifted and just reading aloudwould take me do much time. Plus this voice is great pick!
Good news! They are, as podcasts. Most episodes are free to listen to, but some are paid. Take a look: open.spotify.com/show/3KsWQslWOH4FBuAWQodZzq?si=ScDD2sFRSE63kvRwNwYaKA
Wouldn’t it be cool if doing all these quests actually rid the evil from the land on that character and you could see the impact of all the work you did instead of everything just respawning. It’s like you did nothing at all and it made no difference. The poor people doomed to an even worse fate of clinging on to hope that something will change if they just stay strong but unbeknownst to them their programming would never allow it.
mm yeah i had a feeling there was some gptmagic going on here, you can tell from some of the sentences. i dont mind though. these videos are too comfy@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth
IMO -blizz- I mean Microsoft- needs to hire you to do new scripts for "Long version" of starter zone openings when you make a character - it would do nothing but make the game better and help new players understand wtf is going on a lot more. (Could also put the lore like this into books that you can collect as you finish zones - just open them in your library and play some cutscenes with art or something)
Very creative pronunciation, I don't think I've ever heard "Darkshore" and "Goldshire" pronounced like that, I like it. But at 19:52 you pronounce "dire" as it's spelled instead of "dur" and I don't like that.
There are some inaccuracies, which makes me cautious for what this can do to people searching this popular video and consider it cannon. I like the presentation. This is just the beginning of digital history being just as fuzzy as IRL history.
It's more like mispronunciations than lore inaccuracies. Darkshire is pronounced as "Darksure" or "Darkshore" and Goldshire as "Goldsure" or "Goldshore". And some timeline mix ups, where something is said to happen before or after it did. I have not caught a timeline issue in this one, but I have in others. If I catch any on other viewings I will leave a comment. I am a big fan of these and I am just speaking out because I think these are great pieces to get someone into the expansive WOW lore and it's so fun. I am a fan, keep'em coming!@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth
Those aren't mispronunciations. Darkshire or Goldshire, just like many other Shires in the English countryside, are pronounced exactly like that. As a British creator, I intent to use the British way of speaking and writing. Other than that, the point of these videos is not to stay untrue to the Lore of this world but to entertain and immerse :)
Cool, but "you" pronounce them differently in the video itself, the "American" way and the "British" way. As someone following this stuff for over 20 years, hearing something being mispronounced, when it has over a decade of coverage, is immersion breaking. Love the work, keep it up. I love listening to these when I go to sleep.@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth
Hmm, really? I only remember instances of both the British and American pronunciations in the video and podcast versions of Elwynn Forest. I'll be on the lookout for a consistent and correct narrative, so the viewer can stay immersed! Thanks for the feedback and support!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Dustwallow Marsh! :D That place always intrigued me, i never read the quest text when i was levelling through it, but i did like the atmosphere and the feeling of the alliance having a foothold in a distant strange land.

Vielen Dank! Es freut mich sehr, dass es dir gefällt!
I just found this channel and I have to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for creating this type of content I absolutely love it.
Welcome aboard! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy it so much!

Great to hear that! Enjoy!
Wait, this is AI-Generated??
Indeed, the voice is AI :)
Wtf it is? This is crazy good, I would never notice this... Do you write the script yourself?@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth
I do! After which I also implement AI to enhance the script and narration in a style that I wouldn't be able to produce on my own.
This is fantastic timing as I'm questing through Duskwood in HC Classic
One of my favourite zones in the game aesthetically. So much amazing atmosphere from what is essnetially just an extended part of Elwynn but just made darker and spookier. A perfect video for this month!
Couldn't agree more! Very rich and sorrowful!
Duskwood will always be one of my favorite zones!
So rich and dark in lore! Enjoy!
This is one of my all time favorite zones, for sure top 3. I love the lore of Duskwood.
Same here! Enjoy!
Amazing video's! Please make one for Stranglethorn Vale!
Definitely on my list! Thanks for watching!

You're very welcome! See you in the next chapter!
I can still remember going through this area with my friends, trying to do the quests here, taking Stitches down when we knew we were geared enough
Good times!
Blizzard needs to pay you to make content for them. Love your series so much.
You're too kind! Doing this as is, is rewarding enough!
I agree, the races could all do with new intros and this is perfect.
this is so good man - such high quality. love what you're doing
I appreciate that! Enjoy, and most of all, find the stories YOU want to see :)

Hope you enjoyed it!
Amazing love video!! Liked and subscribed, this was so well done!
Thanks for subbing! Enjoy the other tales!
Single-handedly bringing back the nostalgia of wow with every video, doing blizzard’s work for them!!!
I'm very pleased to hear this!
These are awesome, dude. Ghostlands/Silverpine next please. :p
Very soon!

Thank you for tuning in!
Another Excellent tale!
Thanks for listening!
Well done! Thank you!
My pleasure! Thank you too!
Do you ever plan on doing areas from expansions?
Definitely! Outland and Northrend first, after I've worked through Classic :)

The time that we live in man :D
really well done, thank you
Many thanks!
I will say playing on HC made this place all the more terrifying.
Duskwood and Darkshore has always been my favorite zones.
Incredible narration, so relaxing to listen!
Hey, thanks! I strived to make the story more compelling and really explain what the adventurers are feeling or experiencing at a given moment!
The most memorable zone I’ve ever been in. I LOVE it.
Top quality content, you need to do every territory, this is very very entertaining and I've learn alot
Every territory is on my list, going through them one by one! Thanks for joining me and enjoy the journey!
My favorite zone as a kid and still my favorite as an adult
Great to hear! Enjoy!
Wasn’t there an Elite sorcerer in one of the houses on Ravenhill cemetery? And a forsaken alchemist in the tower heading towards Deadwind Pass?
There are indeed, but the video was getting quite long in the end, so they will have to wait for another opportunity to be addressed!
Fantastic video ! Good job
Thanks for the visit! Cheers!
That's just so cool! Please keep up the great content!
Thank you for your kind words! More coming soon!
Great job. Need to add what herbs are in the areas.

There's a mod called "VoiceOver" that adds voices for WoW classic/vanilla (TBC and Wrath are being worked on). It's soooo nice.
It’s a little immersion-breaking on the horde side though - I get whiplash hearing the in-game voice lines then switching to a posh human voice from the voiceover.
og WoW hit every mark. Loved this zone and my little torch.
Duskwood truly left its mark on all of us from the moment we stepped into its shadowy forests. It's one of those unforgettable experiences!
Great stuff as always!
Appreciate that! Enjoy!
one of my fav. from alliance zones
Was really waiting for that one
Duskwood was the first creepy zone I entered back in the day and it is still a personal favourite. Duskwood, even the name sounds mysterious.
Exactly! You can almost feel that there's a history to uncover and that Duskwood might not always have been this creepy.
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth The main road through it also reminds me of many a road/path I’ve walked through a darkened wood at night, often on my way home from somewhere while a bit intoxicated. There’s lots of places like that where I live.
I'm very curious, where do you live?
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth United Kingdom. Lancashire to be exact. Though I have travelled around this area is what I call home.
I miss when Stitches use to run freely and scare the absolute plops out of everyone. I remember the first time he one shotted me and my friend, I think I actually cried.
Stitches truly was a haunting experience!
he still does 😊
Can I ask what AI program/app you use? Been trying to make a lil story for a friend's Birthday.
Great videos man
Gonna wait for the next one :)
For the voice I have a subscription to ElevenLabs, and for the enhanced script I lean towards ChatGPT Plus :)
Great series and a perfect tool to get someone into WoW.
Thanks so much! May the lore continue to be as inviting as a cozy inn in Azeroth!
