The Lore of Westfall | The Chronicles of Azeroth

- Welcome to the rugged beauty of Westfall, dear wanderer, where golden fields stretch as far as the eye can see and tales of heroism resonate through the winds. As the Loremaster of Westfall, I invite you to delve into the heart of this land, where farming communities stand defiant against adversity. Together, we shall uncover the secrets that lie within the weathered barns and abandoned homesteads, unveiling the legacy of resilience that defines this humble region.
Once a thriving expanse that nourished the kingdom of Stormwind, Westfall's fertile fields and abundant mines contributed to the support of a realm recovering from the ravages of the Second War. But the wailing winds of fate would soon usher in a time of turmoil and discord. Yet, amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged in the form of the People's Militia. Comprising volunteers from all walks of life, this fledgling military force valiantly took up arms against the Brotherhood's tyranny.
Today, the battle for Westfall rages on, an ongoing struggle between those who would liberate the land from oppression and those who seek to maintain their invaded territory. As adventurers set foot upon its soil, they are beckoned to uncover the truths that lay hidden and to rise as champions in the face of adversity. The plains, swept by the wind, and the deserted farm fields hold both the weight of a storied past and the potential of a thriving future. Will you answer the call, and venture forth into the heart of Westfall's intriguing struggle? Let our journey commence.

I have been playing Word of Warcraft since launch and your style video treating it like Documentary, its amazing!
Glad you enjoy it!
As someone who loved "old Blizzard" and the heart and soul they used to pour into their worlds, these are exactly the types of videos I turn to in order to rediscover my nostalgia.
Hey, be welcome and stay as long as you wish!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth I 100% will, your style and knack for storytelling is superb, I plan to watch all of your lore videos.
I can’t explain how excited I was for this video.
Westfall, despite its drab nature, is my favorite zone of all time.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I always do!@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth
It gives me that warm summer evening feeling I had as a kid growing up in the countryside.
Yep. Classic Westfall is so good. 👍
After the warm, cozy adventures of Elwynn, Westfall is a stark ramp into the more spooky zones that come later
I will never forget when I first entered Westfall, my dad and I were grinding and leveling in Elwynn for a while and were both super excited to finally cross the bridge into Westfall. We were heartwarmed by the "Poor Old Blanchy" quest, excited at the prospect of The Deadmines as a dungeon, and even met a good friend while questing here who gave my dad his first shoulder pads (despite being grey, he was excited to have them all the same. Every piece of Armor counted back then!). Excellent video and I look forward to the next!
I enjoyed reading your short and interesting experience through Westfall! Glad to have you here with me!
I’ve been waiting years for someone to make videos like these. I know the AI helps but I can still tell the effort you put in I love this!, but props for making the exact content I’ve always been looking for.
Much appreciated! There's a good 30 hours of work in this video, writing the narrative, recording the in-game footage and editing it all together.
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Time well-spent. 2nd one I've watched (Barrens was the first) and they're excellent! As an avid Alliance member, I look forward to these!
Many a red bandana has changed its owner on the dusty fields around Sentinel Hill.

Hi i agree with your comment and i love this channel! but please, can you elaborate in what role AI plays in creating these videos?
From a 32 year old bro who reads all of the Warcraft books..Ty 🙏🙏
Thank you for watching!
Westfall is one of my favorite zones, I did not want to leave. Great video production!
Awesome! Thank you!
My favorite zone of all time, I remember leveling here on my mage in TBC. Played all night, watched the sun come up outside my window while the sun came up in game. Thanks for doing these, they are amazing!
Very nice! Thanks for watching!
Wonderfully scripted story telling, really brings these zones to life. Takes me back to simpler times in Azeroth.
Exactly my intention! Enjoy!
I listen to these in the background, but I keep rechecking to make sure I checked the like button! XP
You're the best! Appreciated!
Discovered your channel today and I am captivated. Thank you for your hard work.
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much, please enjoy!
This is my favourite so far. Westfall holds a special nostalgic place in my heart. Keep up the great work bud, you’re flying!
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you for doing these my guy, it fills the void of WoW while im at work
Glad you enjoy it!
In all these years, I never connected the Undead drone at the tower with the Zanzil Trolls in Stranglethorn Vale.
As long as we learn something new, it's all worthwhile ;)
Now this is my new favorite channel, your videos helps me with my long nights, i thank you.
Glad to hear it! Enjoy!
These legit soothe my anxiety. thanks for helping me get through busy days. ❤
Hey there, I'm so happy to see the positive effect the stories have on your personal wellbeing. Be well and enjoy!
God damn do I love this series. Whenever I don’t want to play WoW, you put out a new video and it just makes me have to play. Thank you for these videos!
You're most welcome!
So having done the main starting zones of the main races, now you seem to do the secondary zones which is amazing. I can't wait to see what comes after.
We are in for a ride, let me tell you!
Westfall has always been my favorite zone. Thank you for covering it, Loremaster.
My pleasure!
Best Lore master EVER! Please never stop with these videos!
You've got yourself a deal!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth 😁
Full Sails and Happy Trails, Loremaster.
Same to you, dear traveler!
Never really was excited about Westfall my self, but this video really brings a good story out of the shelf!
Glad to hear it!
thank you for taking the time to make this masterpiece. this game has an amazing score and so much atmosphere.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
I started a mage on the new hardcore servers and I spent just over one level grinding Defias by Mirror Lake in Elwynn Forest just for cloth to make bags. So… when I finally got to Westfall I was a tad over leveled… and the zone is still tough! I love it!
It's a real challenge!
Who ever knew a starter area can be made so captivating. Great work look forward to more.
Thank you very much!
On my latest attempt to quit playing. Your are killing me with this video.🙂
I'm happy and sorry at the same time! Please do enjoy the videos :)
My first pvp experience happened at Sentinel Hill. I was a new mage trying to find help to deal with the mechanical scarecrows. Then the Horde attacked! The few low levels tried to hold the tower, but the Horde was too strong.
Then, as our spirits found our bodies, we were greeted by Stormwinds finest heroes! We banded together and fought back the Horde that day. I always think back on that battle as a a turning point in my gaming adventures. It was such a fun experience and made the world feel alive. This video brought back those memories. Thank you!
These kind of stories and memories make all the difference for me! Thanks for sharing and watching!
How do you only have 16k subs? Your vids are so well made and articulate, and you are really good at telling stories in a very compelling way
I'm giving it my best, but I'm already glad you have found me!
@@TheChroniclesofAzerothwhen your subs explode they will definitely explode…
I feel better about the oat quest now.
Been waiting for this one. The most nostalgic zone in the game for me.
Let's get into it!
Finally! A series of videos narrated by a voice that is actually pleasant to listen to! Have a sub, plenty more please! Also, thank you so much for making these ultrawide videos! 🙌
Welcome aboard! Ultra wide is my kind of style! :)
I never forget the feeling when I first stepped into Westfall from Forest (maybe when 12? or 14? not sure). That feeling is like, this world is infinite and diverse, how could I stop exploring it?
Indeed, if this contrast is already possible, how much more can there be!?
We appreciate your hard work and dedication to the videos plesse keep the series going!
You got it!
I just discovered your channel. I must say that this is a very lovely video, thank you, I really enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to your other content! :)
Welcome to the channel! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and I can't wait to explore more content with you! Cheers!
You included the chicken easter egg!!! You are a hero
Legend!
Exceptional video, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for making these!
My pleasure!
Your videos are so entertaining and relaxing ❤ please continue !
Thank you! Will do!
This made me so so happy! Elwynn, Westfall, Redridge and Teldrassil are my absolute favourite zones in the game. keep up the good work, loremaster.
Glad you like them!
Can't wait to watch this one later today! Westfall is probably my favorite zone in all of Azeroth. So much nostalgia...so many memories. Thank you for all that you do, Chronicles of Azeroth!!
I remember the first time I sat foot in Westfall back in Vanilla.. Since a sense of exploration and wonder that can never been regain.
Be sure to take a moment of your day to unwind and take in all the Lore of this zone that has a special place in our hearts. Thank you for making it possible!
I must admit, my expectations for this one were particularly high...and you undoubtedly exceeded them all! Your ability to fully immerse your audience within the world of Azeroth is truly astounding. I felt as though I had been transported back in time to the mid-2000s, adventuring through the lands of Westfall with my real-life friends from elementary and middle school back in the day.
In particular, at 6:55...crossing that famous bridge once again...evoked indescribable nostalgia for me. Yet, as if this video was not perfect and emotional enough already, I nearly spat out my drink at 28:11 upon seeing my own name displayed on the screen. So far as I am concerned, this is your masterpiece thus far.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued contributions to the World of Warcraft, Loremaster!
Once more, I thank you for your incredibly kind words! I'm delighted that I could exceed your expectations and bring back those nostalgic memories of Azeroth. I'm honored to be a part of your journey through the World of Warcraft. Looking forward to creating more adventures together in the future!
This is one I've really been waiting for. Westfall was such a huge part of levelling as Alliance. So many memories and to hear the story by the Loremaster. Huzzah!!!
Let's go!
I still remember coming the Westfall the first time (from Elwyn Forest) in 2006... :*-)
*coming to
Ah, that journey from Elwynn Forest to Westfall is truly a memorable one. It's those first steps into new lands that stick with us. Do you have a particular memory from Westfall that stands out?
Please keep producing these videos! I think they do an excellent job explaining the lore and are captivating at the same time. I do not feel lost watching them.
That's great to hear, thanks for the feedback!
Such an awesome zone with rich history. I look forward to your journey through Duskwood.
Duskwood has a special place in my being!
I hope you make a Desolace video soon! I know a lot of people don’t like the zone, but I always have.
Definitely on my list of things! Thanks!
I love that you added the secret chicken quest
It's a neat little Easter egg in Westfall!
The first time I went through Westfall back in Vanilla, I knew that my character had come from there for roleplay reasons. I loved it so much, the Defias storyline the most.
While I don't like the Cataclysm Westfall as much, it's still held up as my favorite human lore zone, with Duskwood a close second. Thanks, this was great!
Being able to re-experience this land with you again is something special. I'm looking forward to sharing Duskwood!
Man this is awesome. Amazing job
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!
Once again you've given us another wonderful addition to this series.
I cant put my finger on it, but something about this one has felt even more natural and authentic - very well done. I want to commend you for always being receptive to feedback, and constantly striving to improve.
Thank you so much! I'm so thrilled that the feedback is universally positive!
In this entry of Lore, I focussed on creating more room for natural pauses between sentences. This gives the viewer a moment to take in all the information that has just been presented.
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth yes that's it! The flow was very nice. The reader didn't feel like he was rushing.
Lovley. Thanks for your good work m8
My pleasure!
Beautifully told!
Thanks for listening!
Finally some time to check this one out, really enjoying the series so far. I remember entering Westfall for the first time on the game and not liking how desolate it was compared to Elwynn, but then enjoying the questlines a lot
Hope you enjoyed it! Westfall is a special place of endurance!
This is beautiful.
One of my favorite zones to RP
I remember Autumn Westfall
Thank you for this lore.
Absolutely Wonderful
Much love
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for lighting that wow spark again!
Any time! Thanks for watching!
BEST Bday present!
Happy birthday! Enjoy!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth thank you, LoreMaster!
I keep promoting your channel whenever and wherever I can 😁
That fills me with gratitude! Thank you for joining me on my adventures!
I grew up in southern Minnesota bordering Iowa in the 90s. In the fall it looks exactly like Westfall so I’ve had a soft spot for this zone now that I moved for work in NYC! Another amazing video. Thanks for the upload!!
Ps you should get a donation link started so we can all assist in the development of more of these.
Thank you for the nice words! A donation link in the form of a RUclips membership is already live!
Neeeeew Video!!! Good work as always
Hope you enjoyed it!
One of my favorite zones of all time.
Mine as well, so many memories!
Excellent. Just excellent.
Thanks so much!
Love your work!!!!❤❤ these videos are some of the best zone lore
Glad you think so!
@@TheChroniclesofAzerothwhen your videos catch on u hope they spread like wild fire
Yes!!! My favourite zone
This is magnificent
Westfall was defo one of my favorite zones
My man! Can you please create a Playlist with all these lore videos? :) would be so nice to have them all autoplay while I do whatever. Thank you!
If I'm not mistaken, they are already in a playlist! Check it out!
The Furlbrows have been standing by that broken cart for 20 years
A steadfast people
One of my fav leveling zones
Definitely!
Yes! ❤
I long for the secrets of the Barrens....
Since we don't just get 1 labyrinth but 3!
And the first real agent of the Scourge.
I think it is the first real lich we meet....
Just in time, I'm farming in hardcore in westfall. Now i know a bit more from this area.
Good luck in hardcore classic!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth thank you, all hc players need it :D
I am requesting you cover the lore of Shadowfang Keep!
On the list!
Love these videos!! Tyvm for making them!! Keep up the great work!!❤🙏🏻
Thank you! Will do!
Ahhhh Westfall... Before the Wall and refugees, before we found out Old Blanchy when to Sinfall to atone for it's horrifying acts, back when the deadliest NPC with a body count that rivalled Ragnaros was the Defias Mage. I'm here for it
And I'm glad to have you here!
Have to wait to watch this on my computer because this video is CHALKED with ads
Loved this one! Just died in Westfall last night on hardcore at level 11 😂
And you get back up and go at it again!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Absolutely! Having another go on my next day off!
Ah, so much nostalgia for this zone. Great video!
Thanks for the visit!
Time to get my kids into WoW lore
Amazing video, subbed! Hope to see more zones!! Also nice selection on the AI voice, its barely noticeable and not jarring.
Hey, thanks! Makes my day!
Brilliant :)
Thanks! Enjoy!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Cheers! Look forward to going through the rest of your series.
I started playing back in BC, and never knew the Stillwell farm existed. o_o
It's usually hidden for explorers, except Paladins, who have a few quests there!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth That's cool! Thanks!
Aww, missed opportunity for the narrator to use grandiose wordage to describe how you have to cluck like a chicken endlessly to earn the chicken pet, ha ha. I love the detail these get into with meanial questlines.
That's something for the next opportunity! Thanks for watching!
Love it :)
Glad you like it!
I do enjoy the classic WoW aesthetic.
It's still a special piece of nostalgia for many!
@9:03 GZ!
Truely one of my favourite zones in the game. Super cozy and yet awful if you were to actually live there. Thats my favourite thing about starting allience. The first few zones and the ones that surround Elwynn are perfectly designed starting areas aethesthically. Like truely feels like the start to an adventure. Its a shame Horde side doesnt really get that same feeling. For me at least.
Westfall has, similar to Redrige Mountains and Duskwood, a lot of hardship and struggles to uncover which makes the journey from the peaceful Elwynn Forest even more memorable and significant!
Just in time for me leveling my alt!
I questing here now,HC hype
HC hype, HC hype!
Literally questing here right now leveling my rogue on Hardcore.
All the luck to you, dear Rogue!
omg i just realized that all the mines in wow were meant to be because of all the gold mines all over the place to make the warcraft games work
"Where was Stormwind when the Westfall fell?"
This comment is golden!
Do Harpies next 😊
On my list, thank you!
Is it just me or the Warcraft universe seems to have lost that kind of "gritty" in the transition from Warcraft to World of Warcraft and especially in the transition from Vanilla to retail? I miss these zones a lot, I wish a return to a lower level of magic, darker atmospheres and that more mundane fantasy that many of us experienced leveling in those times, at this point an era ago.
I fully agree with your reasoning. Times change and that's more often than not something we don't really appreciate.
It sounds like the voice of BG1
how do you record this in-game footage? like the freeroam of the camera?
How does it make sense that stormwind can send fleets of ships to pandaria and not send help and strengthen westfall.
Lol, very true, I've forwarded your concerns to Stormwind's decision-makers, including the King and his war council!
Vancleef did nothing wrong
The human starter area all the way to Booty Bay are the best questing experiences I've ever had in an MMO. However I really didn't enjoy much of the rest of the world, there were too many bad zones for all the other races and beyond level 40. What I would do with a Classic + is take lots of the zones in Cata, but rework them so they feel more natural like vanilla. The problem I always had with Cata is the world feels fake, all the quests are in hubs and I feel like I'm in a themepark going from ride to ride instead of being in a world.
How on earths name Mr WOW Asmongold did not see this...
any idea where i can find the current lore, for why there is a tornado that destroyed one of the farms, and its current layout?
The cataclysmic events caused by Deathwing's rampage reshaped much of Azeroth, including Westfall. The destruction you mentioned, like the tornado, is a direct result of this chaos. For the most current lore and details on how Westfall has been affected, the in-game exploration of post-Cataclysm offers firsthand insight into the changed landscapes and narratives.
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth ok, i forgot about deathwing and his shenanigans, i guess that makes sense, and then the story shake up of van cleefs daughter being the new head of the defias following suit, ty for that clear up
@@Juggernuts you're most welcome!
