Silvermoon City - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft

- Less than a decade ago, the wondrous high elven capital of Silvermoon was nearly destroyed during a brutal Scourge invasion. Under the command of Prince Arthas, the undead ravaged the city and went on to corrupt the sacred waters of the Sunwell. Despite this horrific event, the high elves-now known as the blood elves-have labored to rebuild their ruined capital. Most recently, the rebirth of the Sunwell has lifted spirits among the elves, and they have continued to heal Silvermoon’s scars in the hopes of returning the crown jewel of Quel’Thalas to its former glory.

Lor'themar's journal
Journal of the Regent Lord, entry 83
I cannot remember the last time I told anyone such a bald-faced lie, even since I was forced into politics. But I did lie to Aethas, and he knows it, and I know it, and anyone who heard me say it knows it. My will means very little, in fact. I can pretend my power is real, but in the end, it is all an act, and none of it is honest. I can wash my hands of it, play martyr, be victimized, and accomplish nothing, or I can fight and victimize others in my turn and thus become the essence of all I have battled. If I have ever rationalized my choices using any other logic, I was certainly lying to myself. Hawkspear was right: I deal with the devil indeed, but the Sunwell may never have been restored had we not sunk to those levels. He and Aurora can sleep soundly, knowing they have never compromised their ethics, but if they deny that they prosper in the wake of those who have, then they delude themselves as much as I.
Here I find myself so close to believing that the ends justify the means. But the ruins of the Magisters' Terrace will haunt me forever, reminding me of the fate I tempt with that thought. This is the line I walk, finally knowing that the actions I take in necessity are nonetheless indefensible. Those truths can never be reconciled, but sometimes I can hold them both side by side and almost understand. I might call this revelation profound if I were ignorant enough not to realize that I am only learning what Kael'thas, and Anasterian before him, had also learned in their turns. All we can do is walk the road we are given with such dignity as we can muster, each to our own glory or demise, and pray that there yet remains something of our own hearts when all is said and done. By the Sunwell, I hope that there will remain something of mine.
😭
Not only is this the original text. It is also true.
Our dear regent..😭😭
The lore of WoW (after WotLK, anyway) is often very bad an childish, and then there's the blood elves.
This music makes me sort of sad. Not because of the blood elf lore, but because so few people travel through this city, no one ever hears the music or enjoys the spectacular architecture
Emperor Palpatine You ever played horde on a rp server, aside from goldshire and stormwind it's one of the most populated places.
i fell the same about the exodar area for the drainei, it is my favorit corner of the world
Hey i love this citty. Enjoy every and each minute i stay there.
Play on Moonguard.
I wanted to see if I could get my 3 cousins who also play bloodelves to come back to the game just if the community was decent on that server. Didin't think people were still role playing.
This city feels like it's 4 pm all day, everyday.
Lmao I've always thought this! especially because certain times of the day affect my mood, negatively.
Is an spell, is a eternal spring
Azuremyst is 5 am all day long xD
@@Pandalka oh yeah...I know the feeling
Silvermoon is the comfiest, most aesthetic city.
The only horde city with music so beautiful that I would sneak in as an alliance rogue just to listen.
Same
@@oogawhama3559 What about Thunder steps ?
@@kamrud700 what about it?
i would bring my human mage in and sit in the inn, this was my favorite city
@@clerpington_the_fifth it's the other horde city with music so beautiful that I would sneak in as an alliance rogue just to listen.
Silvermoon, my home. This music makes me think of when I first started WoW and how things were back then. I am a loyal blood elf, so this is incredible to hear. I fall asleep to this every night.
It's really relaxing, which I wasn't expecting.
I get exactly the same nostalgia!
Same!
Silvermoon is my home too im a bloodelf…
Silvermoon city was really aesthetically pleasing but it was always a bit empty. After the burning crusade it was pretty much abandoned for anything but a few quests.
If you want to see it full, go to an rp server. There are more people than in orgrimmar on moonguard and wyrmrest!
Yup, SMC is the most populated city Horde side on roleplaying servers
Considering that the Blood Elves are supposed to be few in numbers after the Scourge razed Quel'thalas, it's pretty fitting.
Sandro and for all the alts and noobs!
Sandro orgrimmar is the most populated on my server and in my region lol
Fact: Kael'thas was a victim of his circumstances and was forced into situations nobody else would want to be in, just to save his people. He succeeded by sacrificing his life, his morality, and his posthumous reputation and honor.
When his father's kingdom crumbled and he knew there was no time for false glory, Kael'thas went into the literal and figural abyss. He didn't do it on his own, and because he had lost his orientation in the process he wouldn't have succeeded without the Naaru intervening and repairing what he had broken, and his own people betraying him, but in the end it served the purpose after all.
Blood Elves who blame or hate Kael'thas, without remembering that he ultimately saved their lives and society, are ignorant rabble unworthy of his legacy.
His story is tragic but he doesn't deserve being judged only for his later actions, but with consideration of the hoplessness he faced for his beloved people.
In contrast to Azshara who only cared about her empire and who viewed her people as her possessions, Kael'thas cared about his people with his blood and he felt great obligation and debt towards them.
We only can repay him by honoring his sacrifice, and the warning his tragic end teaches us.
Rest in Peace Kael'thas Sunstrider, we will not forget your love.

And now we get to meet him again in Shadowlands....merely a setback....
@@FlinnGaidin Revendreth...Denathrius will be purged by Kael'thas's fans.
I might be biased because I play as a blood elf, but I honestly think Silvermoon is one of the most beautiful places in all of Azeroth.
It is and I played as undead so you know I have an affinity for the opposite of this place
I still love coming here in-game for the music. I loved the whole Blood Elf starting-area.
themblan And isle od quel danas i think :)
Eversong Woods has cool quests too.
All of my characters leveled up here
I have two homes in Azeroth. Silvermoon City and Thunder Bluff. And the first one is by far my favorite. A city where you feel peace, total calmness. In Silvermoon everything is in order, its totally secure. These huge enchanted guardians take care of your safety. Magic brooms sweep the floors keeping the City clean. Beauty of the architecture. I want to go back.
Those are my favourite two as well.
So I m not alone
I use this as my study background music nowadays.
Silvermoon will always have a special place in my heart. I used to play as a blood elf with my sister. We always played and leveled up together. It was so much fun.
Sometimes I liked to go back here and just stroll around the city. It was more inconvenient to go back here for training/bank/etc than Orgrimmar, but it was still my favourite.
Messed up at 45:00 during editing. Decided to leave it as a badge of shame. Also, didn't feel like doing another 10+ hours rendering. Lesson of the day: Doing something important? Check. Checked already? Check again.
haha it made me smile.
hahaah that is allright! If you did not have commented i wouldn't have noticed! Great job anyway, thanks for this amazing videos on wow music
It jumped to a new picture too soon?....I can't watch this anymore sir, where is your shame?... think of the children....think of the children!
No worries. It's still a beautiful ambience. You did a great job.
LOL 45:00 now is most played part of the video XD

the first time you walk in is something you never forget
lol It was. It was like a living, breathing world and so much more interesting than college courses or grocery shopping.
Our city is such a beautiful city. Glory to the Sin'dorei!
I'm Forsaken but agree with your comment ! ♡
All hail the Sin'Dorei!
Hold your head high!
Thats huge for a female blood elf :D
@@designerstouchz Well I am no regular Blood elf ;)
I don't even play the game anymore but the music, art and story of the blood elves is so beautiful and magical. Silvermoon will always have a place in my heart. i listen to this while studying and I'm transported to another world.
I literally can smell magic in the air.
Yes. It is. And when you find that smell, you know. It is real.
or maybe a barbecue?
"I'm out of range"
I NEED a target
Its not ready. . . yet
I remember how I wished that people would hang out in Silvermoon instead of Org when TBC came out. Unfortunately getting there is a pain in the ass if you're not a mage. Easily the most beautiful capital city in the game.
Although my heart is with the alliance and I'm with them till death, My first ever character was a Blood elf hunter that I levelled for a while before making my alliance. Silvermoon and Eversong woods and Ghostlands will always hold a special place in my heart.
I love Silvermoon. It just always seems so empty, there's usually only lowbie toons running around leveling; I wish the devs would do something to make it relevant again, and it would be nice to be able to fly there.
it's incomplete, that's why you can't fly, you'd see unfinished textures xD
@@QueenofTaterTots Yep it's located in the same instance Outland is in that's the reason Eversong Woods or Azuremyst didn't get a revamp in Cata, if you fly far enough in the right direction in the Twisting Nether you'd arrive to Azuremyst Isle I assume that's the case for Eversong too.
I think.. The feeling of emptiness fits this place. Remember, Arthas and his Scourge wiped out nearly 90% of high elf population. And only few remain
@@MrAntonny195 The City Is empty, because no fly & instance. They wont remake It, because empty, and it's empty because no fly & instance.... It's a wheel of infinity.
Hey, now there is the blood elf heritage armor quest line. I seriously recommend it! If you want an excuse to go to Silvermoon, Eversong Woods, and Tranquillien. I loved it. You just need a level 120 blood elf and for that character to be exalted with Silvermoon.
29:06 is spine-chilling ... encapsulates the E͓̽P͓̽I͓̽C͓̽N͓̽E͓̽S͓̽S͓̽ of TBC expansion and the feeling of unknown which was so novel at the time. There was a time with very little spoilers, no "play-through" series and you were venturing in to a totally immersive, and new, world!!
I loved hearing this as I ran my new toon to the city for the first time.
tbc and wotlk was the era when blizzard really cared about player immersion, the fact that i can listen to this all day makes it so unique, times that will never come
to me is like midday, the early autumn, you know, when it`s still warm outside, but not hot anymore. Just perfect. But I love Silvermoon (and Eversong Woods in general) during the night. There is omething magical, I can`t describe it
Forever my favorite starting zone of all. I just can't spend *too* much time there at a stretch because I would probably crumple into a state of sobbing despair... to me, everything there and every single note of music rings of amazing, epic, unforgettable adventures, and the deeply tragic story of the Blood Elves.
I don't know how others find this calming - though I am of course happy for you guys that that is so!! - I simply find such a sadness in the music and the empty streets, which I am at the same time addicted to and mustn't overdose on. (Reference intended.)
Before i started to play WoW I was watching my brother playing this game back in 2008 and he was mostly spending his time in this City "Silvermoon" so now i know why
Sami Rashed 2008 dang I was 8 years old playing wrath. Dang that was 10 years ago
In my WoW days, I would spend my crafting and AH time here since no one was ever here. This music will always take me back.
When I was a little guy, I embraced every little piece of this game. I loved it everytime I started a new character, I was full of joy starting a new journey through the game, it was different as a kid. This game and this soundtrack still means a beautiful happy world to me! A masterpiece!
Well i'm a Brazilian player, and in the server i used to play named Gallywix we used to hang out over there, so i always appreciated that environment and it was really a privilege
Eu também jogava nesse servidor, eu era starter Edition até 2012, lua prata e praça da asa do Falcão, eram os melhores lugares para as socializar
I still remember when I was in love with Lor'themar's and I always went to Silvermoon to visit him and show him respect by kneeling, spending time next to him made everything feel so real.
Одна из самых красивых локаций с замечательной музыкой, передающей характер народа эльфов крови. Сама музыка рассказывает нам о тех несчастья, что выпали на долю эльфов крови и закалило их характер. Леса вечной песни такие же гордые и благородные как народ, населяющий эти земли. Эта земля так же как и эльфы имеет на себе чудовищный след, оставленный армией плети, не даром этот след называется "Шрам", поскольку такие же шрамы остались в душах каждого из народа эльфов крови.
I don't know if the music of Silvermoon has to sound peaceful, I find it to be slightly sad as if it shows the hardships through which the blood elves went through to build their new home. What emotions does this music invoke in you, guys?
At first Power or Pride. Then a sad/depressed turn and a new hope after that (speaking about the first 3 min).
But I know their history by heart by now. So... I'm probably influenced by that.
yeah, it is very intriguing.
I guess the emotion is comfort for me. I love the Blood Elves and after playing WoW for so many years(and playing the BE starting zone numerous times) Eversong Woods and Silvermoon City holds a special place in my heart.
Interesting. Perhaps it's my Alliance bias, but I've always found this music to suggest beauty, power, and pride, but also arrogance, grimness, and a hint of something sinister. Even if I didn't know anything about the Blood Elves' story, I think I would still get more than just sadness from their theme. There's an element of darkness about it, as well.
Solitude, secrecy and tension. Things feels cool, but there is something in the air... traveler beware, respect this place, deeper things are happening around.
I started Wow in 2009 and even though I ended up being an alliance main because of an irl friend I will never forget my first character I stayed dedicated too. Roaming around the blood elf starting zone with this this style of soundtrack playing for the first time is most definitely an experience I will never forget.
Really miss playing. Been many years.
Lycan /agree
@@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi wich?
Im an alliance player and thats a thing that we all cant change anything about, but I love the blood elves so much.
They are the most beautiful race in wow and their culture and city is amazingly stunning.
Thank you Everness, what a befitting name for someone who has immortalised our childhood nostalgia ❤
8:58 🥰 that note...
thats exactly why im here xD
It always reminds me of some expensive hotels.
I remember when i first seen silvermoon and thought it was the most kick ass place in the game.
*is the most
A distanza di anni, sentendo questa traccia, affiorano ed affioreranno sempre i ricordi belli di tutti quei giorni vissuti e sudati in quell’espansione.. se potessi tornare in dietro, tornerei volentieri tra le mura di silvermoon.. peccato che quel wow non tornerà più.
Man, they should revamp the Blood-Elf starting zone, along with Draenei. So much to be improved upon, maybe, if Silvermoon were repaired (come on it's been like 10 years in lore...) and we could fly, more people would make it their permanent residence.
Man if this city existed real life i'd move to it. the beauty, the music just that good.
The cinematography here exceeds that of most nature documentaries. I've never seen Wow look so visually resplendent. Have you studied film before?
No, I have not. But thank you very much for your kind words. I honestly think that it has to do more with how the game looks in general, the colors the artists use and the way the zones are structured, and less with me knowing how to properly compose a shot. :)
+Everness At the very least, you pick good angles. Like 3:00 onwards. I suppose some people just have better eyes for framing things?
Well, I mean... I've been a cinephile for all my conscious life. It probably has something to do with it :)
I would afk my toon here all the danm time just for the music and ambience. Reminds me of the enchanted castle in Beauty and the Beast.
WoW music makes me feel so alive, every second that goes by listening to it is another different sensation full of pleasure and glory that runs through my whole body, i enjoy so much these moments of my life where my happiness and oxytocin rise to the maximum, and the i feel in my fingers the sensation of touching the sky. I am so grateful to have been born in this generation to enjoy this beautiful composition, and masterful artistic work.
The emotions i feel are so strong that it is inevitable for me to grab the blanket tightly.
pls blizzard, make this game good again so I can come back to this place
this is the most beautiful zone of the game
When I hear this music, I can hear the voice of my old guildmates back in BC days: "Why are you leveling as a protection paladin!! It will take you ages to level up!"
Precisely. I want to take it slow and enjoy the journey.
Looks like we may be headed back. I am so excited!!
Damn truly this is a masterpiece, I used to spend all my time after school on silvermoon city as a lil kid. I wish I could see WoW as I did back when I was younger
1:26 for the Glory of Quel'thalas!!! nostalgic! thanks man that was My one My nostalgic piece of My memories of this music in game FOR THE HORDE!!! :)
Back in time, when every momentum had a very important message. You can sense it in the gameplay, hear it from the music, and you can see it as they built up the blood elf zones. Where is it nowadays.. I think nowhere.
Best hours and days in my gaming life were there. Wish there was a team that could create such a world, sad that it wont be WoW.
Woah that melody brings me back, I had completely forgotten about it
the eternal sun guides us
Ahh my first ever character... the memories
Arthas disliked this
crocevapp crocevap Hahaha true !😅
actually he just want to revive kel thuzad
yeah
Arthas was Stupid to destroy the Blood Elves
and revive Kel'Thuzad
Oh god, i love rp in this place, music and architecture are so beautifull
I am OBSESSED with the music of silvermoon. I really miss those days ...
When i first played this game i would say it was magical :) i don't play this game anymore but i wish so soon.
Reminds a lot of when i used to play wow as a Blood elf hunter my first character.
fuck i didnt realize how much emotion i had tied to this music in particular, miss these days
Third year of college, I and a pal I'll call Ken used to roleplay as our blood elves, him more the edge lord, myself a quirky trickster. In character, I asked him "When are you going to break down that tough attitude of yours? Maybe it'll just take the right lady? Or even the right man?" - he didn't answer. I PM'd him "Still there?," he answered "Yeah, sorry, that hit me for some reason." - Little did I know he was still coming out to himself, and just wasn't ready yet either for himself or others. But he did eventually. He has a fantastic fellow in his life now. I still have Ken on facebook. Like many friends from college, we drifted away and just give each other the occasional like.
tf did i just read?
This is the best location in the game
It's so sad that Silvermoon is so far off the rest of Azeroth so few people regularly visit it.
Thanks for this! My favorite city and favorite music
Everness, well done man! I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos! Keep it up!
I main alliance but Silvermoon/Sunstrider Isle are my favorite areas in the whole game. Beautiful scenery and music
I wish they would update the city already..
I wish they'd NOT never do it because it "doesn't pay off"
Why was updating Ironforge or Thunderbluff more worth it than Quel'Thalas or at least Silvermoon tbh?
Poor Blood Elves not getting any love 😔 Kael'thas wouldn't let this happen
This zone used to be the biggest hussle and bussle for every Horde RP server.
Now... Visiting the city, you won't find a single player. Not a single soul.
Makes you quite sad...
oh my goddd, this channel is amaaaziiing, thank you! lol
+Heather Warren Thank you for stopping by! :)
Love it most when like in this sequence the “camera” moves through the scene.Stuff of wonder!
Our gift of the arcane enlightens us.
Our gift of frost shields us
Our gift of fire empowers us
For some reason I always feel the urge to sing about razors when I’m in silvermoon.
If you're using your phone, slowly slide the search bar from begining to the end for a city tour:)
I really hope they will rebuild silvermoon to its glory without the scourge in dead scar and ghostlands will be part again among living and a new king
I wish I could mod this entire game to be single-player-able with a character like Jak and Daxter or Spyro. I feel like the graphics and atmosphere are so similar that they would fit right in.
Thank you. I really enjoy listening to it while working or studying. Gives me a good feeling :)
1:34 the composer was listening to some wagner (ride of the valkyri anyone?)
My favorite place in wow.
I would really love to fly over this city
came here to bring back memories.
Silvermoon is so pretty but doggone it...trying to remember how to get in and out ..remembering where the entrance was
Easy to navigate
Forever burned into my childhood memories.
My home!!!!!!!! Beautiful.
Mi ciudad, mi gente cuántos recuerdos hay aquí para mí "Anu belore dela,na"
Damn, it feels like home
This video, is so nice my friend. Well done!
Wonderful as always! Keep it up!
Ahh, my home
it helps a lot to meditation!
They really need to give some love to this zone. Its such an amazing zone, just wish they didnt throw it under the bus :(.
*10 000 flashbacks of getting lost with the best music*
i love sneaking into eversong and silvermoon
Hi man
Really enjoying your videos, really helps me to prepare for finals
Any chance you'll upload Grizzly hills music in the future?
Keep it up :)
+Yannay Levi Of course! I wanted to make it right after the Howling Fjord video but kinda... Didn't. It will be done soon enough :)
+1 for Grizzly Hills.
Amazing work :) Well done!
Great video! Thank you for amazing moment ^.^
arathi highlands Ambience...that will be nice :) Like your Videos, keep it up.
" BLOOD ELF " Is the best race , Best kingdom, Best zone , Best Lore&Music ( HIGH ELFS KINGDOM ) ♥️
Amazing place to hang out!
This legit one of my favourite cities.
TBC Classic soon guys! I can feel it!
