2:36 god dammit. Just sitting here remembering walking up to the first tree and hearing that tune for the very...first...time. When life was just so simple. Sitting my my room, at 2 am, just running around Teldrassil without a worry in the world. That tune...hits me so hard. I can't explain why. EVERYTHING just comes back to me at that instant.
Lyrics: [Darnassian and English] Nordrassil - Crown of the Heavens Zin-Azshari - Glory of Azshara Quel'dorei - Children of Noble Birth/High Elves Nordrassil Belore Adore - Sun be with you. Elune Adore - Elune be with you. [Below repeats once near the end.] (Nordrassil) Elune... Zin-Azshari x2 Adore - Be with you.
Cata was my first time playing WoW and the last time it felt like it actually was WoW to me. The feel of the expansion just somehow RADIATED pure raw and true World of Warcraft energy.
Song brought tears to my eyes hearing it, and flying up to the world tree, for the first time after Cataclysm's release. It brings tears to my eyes now because of the overwhelming nostalgia and grief I feel, for the loss of the single greatest era in online gaming that I'll ever know... MMO Morghulis.
I started playing in BC, and I still play to this day, we're up to MoP, and the trailer for WoD is out, and I've been playing a Night Elf Druid ever since BC. So, power to the Night Elves!
Who else came here after playing Legion? 0:00 After questing in Val'sharah, every time I hear this song, I cannot but will always remember. *Ysera* - May your spirit rest in peace at Elune's side.
Dave Short TBH, it was a pretty good idea. Most players where really excited about it, and Cata's launch was simply amazing. (That's probably why the highest amount of subscribers ever was reached in the beginning of cata)
All the boredom of leveling removed, and leveling made 10 times faster, so i started lvling more alts, not just keep playing my priest on horde side and druid on ally side since vanilla, cos questing sucked hard back then. Boring, useless, and 1-2 week of nolife or 3-4 months playing 3-4 hrs per day to get max lvl...
Josh Sweetvale Ich hope you're not comparing Tolkien with Blizzards-Bookwriters for real...xD *Tolkien nerdgasm start* First: Tolkiens Elves dont sail to heaven, they sail to valinor and stay alive! Secont: Elves dont get sad, they get tired (try to imagine living a couple thousand years bro) Third: Tolkien invented the elves in the way we see them in every f*ckin game and the way they present themselves is directly taken from all aspects that Tolkien already described (love nature, beautiful, longlived/immortal, pointy ears, respectful, cool emotionalwise, looking down on mortals, few in number, melancholic....) I dont want to insult you, but be aware of this :)...you will see, the kaldorei are much closer to the sad sailing elves then you would have thought. *Tolkien nerdgasm end*
Captain Cirion you forgot one about tolkien elves ...before tolkien elves are like...fairys nowdays Sorry for bad english it's 6 o'cloak and my brain is not allredy awaken
The best thing in the world, the most peaceful thing ever. Would be a group of roleplayers getting together, sitting in a circle in the mountain and dusk and singing the beginning part of this song. Would be an amazing thing to watch and listen to
Sometimes you hear a music , and you like it , and it just chills you . Even that you dont understand what does words mean . This is one of those music's.
Oh Christ... this takes me back to Reign of Chaos. "These women fight with unmatched savagery! I've never seen their equal. They are... perfect warriors." Just the respect Grom had for them made me shiver from the epicness that was the elven Sentinels.
I feel like this song encompasses the Night Elf race so well. The song starts off very beautiful, but sad at the same time showing how powerful of a race the night elves were but went through series of terrible events and tragedies. But at 1:17, the song picks up showing how the Night Elves have lost so much, but continue to fight on. What an amazing piece of music. WoW is a good game
I started off as a teenager as a nightelf hunter, finished off in Classic and in retail as a nightelf hunter. I've played other races and classes, and I always come back to my beloved nightelves!
Claire de Danann In my opinion the best and only good races in the Alliance are Night elves and Draeneî . But i prefer Draenei :D Also take my advice if you wanna play Alliance Choose Elf or Draenei :D
I remember when I first heard this song in Ashenvale. I was leveling my worgen warrior. I stopped playing dropped mouse and just stood there and listened to the music and got absolutely blown away. Yet at the same time energized. When I came back to my senses I just charged into some orcs and started smashing them all over the place. I will never forget that experience.
Hah! I've been cruising around Azeroth since I first started. Had tons of screen shots on old comp. You reminded me now. I should take one day off soon, and sort them all out. Now I'm nostalgic for old Kalimdor. :)
i've always played horde.. but when i first heard this in the forests of azeroth.. this piece of music goes beyond emotion.. i can't fucking keep myself from crying.. you can hear their enitre history and way of life in these 8 minutes. The voices are.. just serene man.. there's no way i can even begin putting the words i want to say together to describe this.. it's a magnificent representation of their bond with nature, one worthy of respect. A friend of mine has this enormous oak tree on his land.. it's growing alone. It's one of the most beautiful and mighty trees i've ever seen in my life. I can't help but think about that tree when i hear this.. especially at the beginning when they sing Nordrassil.. can you imagine.. what the sight of something like that would be like.. how it must look like that someone makes music like this to honour it so. It's absolutely beautiful.
They shouldn't adapt anymore of the first war. It's not the best example of storytelling in the Warcraft universe. If they want Warcraft movies to become a success, they need to jump further ahead.
If you were expecting to see them first movie then you must not know much about the lore... you're lucky if they're gonna show night elves in the third movie. Their first appearance is during Third War
I played this song when I was lying in the hostpital for some period. All I could that time was only stare out of the window and all I felt was pain. This song soothed my mind that time. 'Thank you for that.'
nice music, I'm a great fan of the night elf's and their music. All I want to say is nice music, I have added a like and I'll listen to more of your music and vids
FearTheGamah actually, as ardent a supporter I am of Night Elves, Trolls are one of the oldest natural species on azeroth and most likely local too. Most others are descendants of titan constructs with the curse of flesh or aliens from other worlds. there are hints that the night elves are an exiled troll empire who found the well of eternity and were transformed and blessed by Elune, but theres nothing TRULY substantiating this.
tenjenk thx, I actually do not know so much about them, I liked playing them in warcraft III but If I know something good about history of warcraft is blood elfes, those I love, but night elfes.... not so much
***** I did play Vanilla from the start, I can go on about all the 40 man raids I did and the hardships of getting 40 people together for raid nights. My guild did pretty well in Vanilla till Naxx where we failed miserably. For raids you could only be a specific spec in Vanilla, it wasn't your choice on what you wanted to play as, it was based on what the raid needed. In BC they fixed it a little where you could be different specs and still do a good job. The best of Vanilla and TBC was the community before Blizz implemented cross servers for dungeons and raids. I loved getting groups for UBRS when it was 15 man by just asking in general chat and getting a bunch of responses.
I always liked this song - always thought the beginning seemed sort of calming, yet sad. Now? This makes me want to cry. Damn you, Xavius, damn you! This song was made for Cataclysm, and yet... nothing has suited it more than Legion.
I feel sorry for fans of the Night Elves. Of all the WoW races, their lore got shat on the most :P At least the Dwarves were almost blatantly ignored by the writers so they got away easy, heh
Yuin The Mistweaver You mean like Warcraft 1 and 2, or Reign of Chaos? When the nelfs were first introduced in 3, they were pretty badass. Their lore jumped the shark in WoW.
SinerAthin The Night Elves weren't introduced or discovered yet in WarCraft 1 and 2, dude... Only in WarCraft 3... Though I have to agree with you on that matter, the lore is pretty much fucked up, in WoW, that is... And not just the night elves but the whole WarCraft story itself, in all races, places, everything... Though I'm not saying WoW is bad, it is kinda fun to play, but when it comes to the lore? Its just a Nevermind story... -_- WarCraft 1, 2 and 3 ARE STILL THE BEST WarCrafts, and always will be... And I'm still waiting for WarCraft 4...
Justine Dela Cruz Yeah, WOW has been the best MMO of the generation, though what happened to the lore... was unfortunate. Warcraft 4, you might as well start wishing for Santa Claus, cause the only way that's gonna happen was if they retcon all the lore since W:TFT xD ... :(
Even though Cata as an expansion was "meh", the soundtrack contains some of the most memorable music they've made yet. 1:20 instantly takes me back to Hyjal.
one of my favourite songs in wow Back when I played it I stoped questing, just to hear that song It's a song full of sorrows and grief - poor nightelves
Next expansion: Eye of Azshara.... PLEASE! Give us Zin'Azshari, N'zoth, the emerald dream and a prelude to an epic burning legion invasion. All those things are related - it would be a godly expansion come on!
If this expansion is released would it it go into the lore on how the ancient elves (that would soon become modern blood elves) were exiled? I want to see an expansion where the elf races work together a bit, at least moderately. Night Elves and Blood Elves working together and releasing some tensions I think would be cool to see. Idk if that goes with the lore but still I wish they would go into more what happened in Wow with them and see the elf races work together.
Not too sure about Zin'Azshari, N'zoth because I have no fucking clue what it is (not much of a lore guy, sadly) But fuck yes. We want The Emerald dream. The blueprints of that place look awesome.
subtector Zin'Azshari was the capital city of the elves prior to the sundering, it was the largest city on Azeroth. It would be amazing. And N'zoth is arguably the most dangerous entity that currently resides on azeroth
May the grace of Elune dwell among your courts,let the ever watchful eyes of our lady Ysera bestow upon you the favour of her dreams.Let the heart of Cenarius give you courage to defend the innocent and bring balance to the nature.Jai'alator!!!
Even though I really like going around as blood elf a lot and i look forward for the horde (Vol'jin president mon), I REALLY love night elfes as lore, music and tell you what, Illidan is my favourite guy, then Malfurion and then Kael'thas
Sorry but i don't see how cataclysm can be memories? Yes, it's a pretty good soundtrack that represent the night elves but i don't see the memories in it :)
uygar başkaya If we go 1,5 years back in time we are in cataclysm. And if you read my comment correctly i said it was a soundtrack from cataclysm and that can't be memories :)
wowgaming9 That music was played in ashenvale, in vanilla too. So not all of this soundtrack is from Cata. And cataclysm can be "memories" for someone too :)
that is the same elvish simbol i got on my electric guitar!!!! i havent play this game..but i read the name ( night elves ) then i put the sticker behind my guitar..i just have a lot of elvish blood inside my heart ,GREAT BEAUTIFUL SONG I TRULY LOVED..THX
Darn, I loved this piece of music! and yet people complained that Cataclysm was the worst expansion??? Heck for me Cataclysm was the ONLY reason I ever fell in love with WoW again after I had originally quit playing it in early 2007 (almost played it constantly for 2 years between 2005-2007)....for sure I can understand that some people who just wanted great end-game content were dissapointed that Blizzard seemed to focus more on re-working "vanilla" WoW lvl 1-60 zones entirely, but for me it was the best possible thing Blizzard could ever do to WoW. Gone were the boring and repetitive "kill 10 pigs, you get pants" (well for the most parts), there were much more variety in the quests, zones that before felt empty (like Silverpine and Azhara) were filled with quests and every zone had its own, longer chainquest with interesting stories to tell. As one who loves the lore, characters and history of Warcraft, it was truly amazing experience to return to the reshaped World of Warcraft and see how all those zones had changed from "vanilla" WoW....well until Mists of Pandaria was announced at which moment I froze my account right away....still with Cataclysm, Blizzard managed to return my interest to WoW, and although the announcement of MoP killed it again momentarily, im glad to see that Blizzard is back on right track with Warlords of Draenor. Definitely going to return back to WoW again one day, perhaps once all the expansions have been released, so I can experience ALL of the game from beginning to the very end :D....ye I know that could take quite many years, but heck, I have plenty of other games to keep me busy xP Anyways for me Cataclysm, definitely was the BEST expansion, thanks to its reshaped lvl 1-60 areas and ofcourse it added these new, incredibly epic and beautiful music pieces....music has always been one huge part what makes Warcraft feel so epic, and this piece of music is perfect example of that...not only that, but I think I saw the translation of the lyrics for this song once, I think its about some part of history of the night elves? again as Warcraft lore-lover I think that's truly amazing :D
I can just totally picture a cinematic of the Night Warrior ritual with this tune. 1:20 This is when the moon darkens, and the Horde armies run towards the sentinels and Wardens, while Tyrande is being engulfed by dark moonlight. I don't know why, but I can imagine a cinematic of that happening to be incredibly cool. Bonus points if it's a fully rendered one!
Ten thousand years ago we night elves defeated the Burning Legion. Though the rest of the world was shattered, we were left free to live out our immortal lives in peace, bound to the World Tree. We are its protectors, and through it we were granted immortality and power over nature. Now, at last, it is time we gave that power back.
+Kain Bear in mind that the Legions arrival was all due to the Night Elves diving too deeply into the Well, their blind devotion to an apotheosized leader bent on "cleansing" the world of the impure, and their wreckless behavior in face of such power. I love my Night Elves, but we can never be too proud as many of our accomplishments in saving Azeroth and other worlds has largely been a product of our own doing in the first place. Elune be praised, Goddess watch over us -- for left to our own devices we tend to stray from the light. :D
Yes, I still remember passing through Ashenvale with my druid for the first time after the cataclysm hit hearing that song start. I immediately went into prowl and just listened.
This music makes me feel sad about how most people will know Warcraft universe from a movie... I know it's not out yet, but even will high hopes... I don't think it can be anything as epic as the games were.
![Music of Cataclysm - The Shattering [Login Screen]](/img/1.gif)
2:36
god dammit. Just sitting here remembering walking up to the first tree and hearing that tune for the very...first...time. When life was just so simple. Sitting my my room, at 2 am, just running around Teldrassil without a worry in the world. That tune...hits me so hard. I can't explain why. EVERYTHING just comes back to me at that instant.
***** So true... Durotar and these pigs... Was epic for me x)
and 11 years from posting this comment. what do you think of it now. hope you are well my friend.
Could this be...one of the best single piece of music ever?
yes it could be
there is no such thing as the best piece of music The only way that can be put as the best piece is your opinion
top tier gaming music
Yep
Man... the Night Elf race is beautiful. Thus, deserve a beautiful song such as this. :)
This song is just so powerful to me...it makes me feel alive.
Lyrics: [Darnassian and English]
Nordrassil - Crown of the Heavens
Zin-Azshari - Glory of Azshara
Quel'dorei - Children of Noble Birth/High Elves
Nordrassil
Belore Adore - Sun be with you.
Elune Adore - Elune be with you.
[Below repeats once near the end.]
(Nordrassil) Elune...
Zin-Azshari x2
Adore - Be with you.
Say what you want about cata, but the music is pure nostalgic, and its almost hard to believe that cata came out 14 years ago.
Cata was my first time playing WoW and the last time it felt like it actually was WoW to me. The feel of the expansion just somehow RADIATED pure raw and true World of Warcraft energy.
@@valan2736 I agree! I started way later but Cata music holds a special place in my heart because how iconic it feels.
16 years ago...
Song brought tears to my eyes hearing it, and flying up to the world tree, for the first time after Cataclysm's release. It brings tears to my eyes now because of the overwhelming nostalgia and grief I feel, for the loss of the single greatest era in online gaming that I'll ever know... MMO Morghulis.
I started playing in BC, and I still play to this day, we're up to MoP, and the trailer for WoD is out, and I've been playing a Night Elf Druid ever since BC. So, power to the Night Elves!
how are you doing now?
Who else came here after playing Legion?
0:00 After questing in Val'sharah, every time I hear this song, I cannot but will always remember.
*Ysera* - May your spirit rest in peace at Elune's side.
i literally cried while watching the cinematic :/
I come here regularly since 2010, I didn't need Ysera's death for this.
same, but still it really touched me
What an amazing cut scene!
华桥之声 RanTV / German德语学习-了解德国生活 dude this soundtrack is 6 years old ,have some respect. you came here from your legion shit
To the cata haters: never forget. Molten Front. Firelands.
And all the beautiful redone questing zones + new ones (uldum is love, uldum is life)
I loved cataclysm man.
Dave Short TBH, it was a pretty good idea. Most players where really excited about it, and Cata's launch was simply amazing. (That's probably why the highest amount of subscribers ever was reached in the beginning of cata)
All the boredom of leveling removed, and leveling made 10 times faster, so i started lvling more alts, not just keep playing my priest on horde side and druid on ally side since vanilla, cos questing sucked hard back then. Boring, useless, and 1-2 week of nolife or 3-4 months playing 3-4 hrs per day to get max lvl...
Lok'tar ogar so it looks good but it's not that good.
Mairo San I agree, but it was refreshing. old things don't come back.
one of the Most reasons that I am sitting almost an hour in ashenvale
It goes from an ethereal elf wispy voice, to an exultant choir. Malorne's rebirth comes to mind. "Everything that was broken will be whole again."
This is why Night Elves will always be my favourite race
Jason Hall
Yeah! Screw you, Tolkien, with your whole 'Elves get teh sad and sail to heaven.' The Kaldorei are altogether better elves!
Josh Sweetvale couldn't agree more - though I feel that way about pretty much every warcraft race
Josh Sweetvale Ich hope you're not comparing Tolkien with Blizzards-Bookwriters for real...xD
*Tolkien nerdgasm start*
First: Tolkiens Elves dont sail to heaven, they sail to valinor and stay alive!
Secont: Elves dont get sad, they get tired (try to imagine living a couple thousand years bro)
Third: Tolkien invented the elves in the way we see them in every f*ckin game and the way they present themselves is directly taken from all aspects that Tolkien already described (love nature, beautiful, longlived/immortal, pointy ears, respectful, cool emotionalwise, looking down on mortals, few in number, melancholic....)
I dont want to insult you, but be aware of this :)...you will see, the kaldorei are much closer to the sad sailing elves then you would have thought.
*Tolkien nerdgasm end*
Captain Cirion you forgot one about tolkien elves ...before tolkien elves are like...fairys nowdays
Sorry for bad english it's 6 o'cloak and my brain is not allredy awaken
Warriors of the night, ASSEMBLE!
nah am tired
Hoar!
FOR THE WATCHERS
night elf music in wow is perfect how its composed just gives a rush of energy to set off on an adventure
The best thing in the world, the most peaceful thing ever. Would be a group of roleplayers getting together, sitting in a circle in the mountain and dusk and singing the beginning part of this song. Would be an amazing thing to watch and listen to
My favourite song from wow for my favourite race! Nice work Blizzard! It chills me xD
Sometimes you hear a music , and you like it , and it just chills you . Even that you dont understand what does words mean . This is one of those music's.
Oh Christ... this takes me back to Reign of Chaos.
"These women fight with unmatched savagery! I've never seen their equal. They are... perfect warriors."
Just the respect Grom had for them made me shiver from the epicness that was the elven Sentinels.
The music: every xpac's saving grace
I feel like this song encompasses the Night Elf race so well. The song starts off very beautiful, but sad at the same time showing how powerful of a race the night elves were but went through series of terrible events and tragedies. But at 1:17, the song picks up showing how the Night Elves have lost so much, but continue to fight on. What an amazing piece of music.
WoW is a good game
I started off as a teenager as a nightelf hunter, finished off in Classic and in retail as a nightelf hunter. I've played other races and classes, and I always come back to my beloved nightelves!
just close your eyes and let go your imagination and you see it... this forest of awensime beaty
R.I.P Ysera, my most favorite Dragon Aspect, and also my most favorite card in Hearthstone.
Ha! I'm going to experience this song played live by the Danish National Symphony in May. Can't wait!❤
They'll always be my favourite race.
Cayinn my favorite race asian Girls:))
Bruh
years later and still one of the most epic wow musics
So amazing... The music is probably the main reason why I miss Cataclysm. The whole expansion's soundtrack was amazing.
The music is like so ancient. It's really good. . . 😣😭🥺
This is beautiful night elves are honestly my favorite I own one a lvl 90 Druid she is my love I enjoy the night elf music very much thank you :)
I never realised how much of a 'military' beat is in the background of the Night Elf themes. Love it.
got this song playing in my garrison ♥
+AMgamer94 Damm you, Aliance...
+AMgamer94 If I were you, i would sit in my garrison all day long. :-D
+Rasmus Høgh The sad thing is, that you are doing just that either way :D
Stefan Petrovic Haha! True. :-P
+AMgamer94 what is the music roll called?
I always played as the Night elves in War3.
That double rax huntress rush though =3
Best strategy ever ^^
I just happened to stumble onto this page, this is awesome! I will definitely be listening to more.
Tyrande,my Leader. Love the night elves music
I'm for the Horde myself, but you can't deny how beautiful this piece of music is.
Same here but night elves were always the only alliance race I liked anyway^^
Claire de Danann In my opinion the best and only good races in the Alliance are Night elves and Draeneî .
But i prefer Draenei :D
Also take my advice if you wanna play Alliance Choose Elf or Draenei :D
Claire de Danann Nope , Because they're Badass ;)
Claire de Danann Yup :D
Claire de Danann They are from Argus :p
I remember when I first heard this song in Ashenvale. I was leveling my worgen warrior. I stopped playing dropped mouse and just stood there and listened to the music and got absolutely blown away. Yet at the same time energized. When I came back to my senses I just charged into some orcs and started smashing them all over the place. I will never forget that experience.
This expansion was when Blizzard remembered what the Night Elves were like i n Warcraft 3 and this music helps grab that feeling.
catches the very essence of night
Hah! I've been cruising around Azeroth since I first started. Had tons of screen shots on old comp. You reminded me now. I should take one day off soon, and sort them all out. Now I'm nostalgic for old Kalimdor. :)
1:40 omg so amazing
1:20 makes me think of night elf sentinels chasing down horde through the forest of ashenvale.
Exactly :D
Obviously it would be the other way around but okay :D
@Florian Have respect when you are talking to adults. Don't they teach you that in pre-school?
When the Horde raided Darkshore, and then Tyrande, Malfurion, and the might of the Alliance came back to bite them in their green asses. Hell yeah.
YAAAAAAAS!!!
love you guys.
Reminds me why I keep playing nelves.
Night elves - master race!
i've always played horde.. but when i first heard this in the forests of azeroth.. this piece of music goes beyond emotion.. i can't fucking keep myself from crying.. you can hear their enitre history and way of life in these 8 minutes. The voices are.. just serene man.. there's no way i can even begin putting the words i want to say together to describe this.. it's a magnificent representation of their bond with nature, one worthy of respect. A friend of mine has this enormous oak tree on his land.. it's growing alone. It's one of the most beautiful and mighty trees i've ever seen in my life. I can't help but think about that tree when i hear this.. especially at the beginning when they sing Nordrassil.. can you imagine.. what the sight of something like that would be like.. how it must look like that someone makes music like this to honour it so. It's absolutely beautiful.
Feeling all the pain of ashenvale right here D:
Right in your Childhood?
Millian558
Right in my manhood :D
Millian558 Eat these fire balls!
Right in my gamer girl heart!
GUURL!!
In the 8 years i played wow…. now i hear this song again.. i quoted last year… Now i am back *grinns* .. Darksource of Lothar
Listening to this with a rain and thunder video playing as well and it's perfect ;__;
I would LOVE if the next Warcraft movie is about the Night Elves..... Druids, Sisterhood of Elune, Malfurion, Tyrande, Illidan.
I believe after 2-3 movies they will come, but the first war is not over yet.And we have second and third so we will have to wait.
They shouldn't adapt anymore of the first war. It's not the best example of storytelling in the Warcraft universe. If they want Warcraft movies to become a success, they need to jump further ahead.
Illidan... best Blizzard character ever q
Hell YES
Suit yourself if you want to watch a movie about grown men sleeping all day long while females do all the stuff
I want Night Elves in the next movie. I was watching this one cause I was expecting to see them. At least a small role. Love them!
If you were expecting to see them first movie then you must not know much about the lore... you're lucky if they're gonna show night elves in the third movie. Their first appearance is during Third War
Correct me if I'm wrong but yeah the elves you saw in the movie were Highborne, I think. Not quite Night Elves haha
+no u I didn't say they r night elves lol...I just said I was expecting to see them. Nobody related Highbornes in the movie as Night Elves.
You'd be surprised
wants to see illidan in movie!
I played this song when I was lying in the hostpital for some period. All I could that time was only stare out of the window and all I felt was pain. This song soothed my mind that time. 'Thank you for that.'
one of the best soundtracks of wow
Respect to the night elves...
This music takes me back to the old good time, and I want to stay there forever :((((
You know why they call em Night Elves? Cause they can go all... night... long!
2:10 beautiful... heavenly... angelic
nice music, I'm a great fan of the night elf's and their music. All I want to say is nice music, I have added a like and I'll listen to more of your music and vids
I'd die to this music
same
Fun fact. Before worshiping Elune the night elfes were actually exiled trolls
Not true in the slightest.
Look up on history/story of warcraft by hengest
Read the real warcraft history. The Night Elves were around before the Trolls -_- Like centuries before trolls.
FearTheGamah actually, as ardent a supporter I am of Night Elves, Trolls are one of the oldest natural species on azeroth and most likely local too. Most others are descendants of titan constructs with the curse of flesh or aliens from other worlds.
there are hints that the night elves are an exiled troll empire who found the well of eternity and were transformed and blessed by Elune, but theres nothing TRULY substantiating this.
tenjenk thx, I actually do not know so much about them, I liked playing them in warcraft III but If I know something good about history of warcraft is blood elfes, those I love, but night elfes.... not so much
Call me a nerd but you have no idea how much WoW and the music ALONE has emotionally moved me
the nostalgia...
***** I did play Vanilla from the start, I can go on about all the 40 man raids I did and the hardships of getting 40 people together for raid nights. My guild did pretty well in Vanilla till Naxx where we failed miserably. For raids you could only be a specific spec in Vanilla, it wasn't your choice on what you wanted to play as, it was based on what the raid needed. In BC they fixed it a little where you could be different specs and still do a good job. The best of Vanilla and TBC was the community before Blizz implemented cross servers for dungeons and raids. I loved getting groups for UBRS when it was 15 man by just asking in general chat and getting a bunch of responses.
Those days
That period was not one of my favorites mainly cause was to frustrating for me
Luke Kenco now if you know how... in a week you farm 10.000 gold :P
I always liked this song - always thought the beginning seemed sort of calming, yet sad. Now? This makes me want to cry. Damn you, Xavius, damn you!
This song was made for Cataclysm, and yet... nothing has suited it more than Legion.
I feel sorry for fans of the Night Elves. Of all the WoW races, their lore got shat on the most :P
At least the Dwarves were almost blatantly ignored by the writers so they got away easy, heh
gnomes though :)
SinerAthin Then you've NEVER played old warcraft if You say that nelf's lore is f*cked up.
Yuin The Mistweaver
You mean like Warcraft 1 and 2, or Reign of Chaos?
When the nelfs were first introduced in 3, they were pretty badass.
Their lore jumped the shark in WoW.
SinerAthin The Night Elves weren't introduced or discovered yet in WarCraft 1 and 2, dude... Only in WarCraft 3... Though I have to agree with you on that matter, the lore is pretty much fucked up, in WoW, that is... And not just the night elves but the whole WarCraft story itself, in all races, places, everything... Though I'm not saying WoW is bad, it is kinda fun to play, but when it comes to the lore? Its just a Nevermind story... -_-
WarCraft 1, 2 and 3 ARE STILL THE BEST WarCrafts, and always will be... And I'm still waiting for WarCraft 4...
Justine Dela Cruz
Yeah, WOW has been the best MMO of the generation, though what happened to the lore... was unfortunate.
Warcraft 4, you might as well start wishing for Santa Claus, cause the only way that's gonna happen was if they retcon all the lore since W:TFT xD
... :(
I remember this song
10 years flew by too fast.
Damn, why is this so good? I don't even play ally all that much.
Ysera's watch has ended! :(
Such a great story to an even better soundtrack! I love the theme at 1:20 . Incredible! ;)
Even though Cata as an expansion was "meh", the soundtrack contains some of the most memorable music they've made yet. 1:20 instantly takes me back to Hyjal.
Masterpiece
omg how did i get here...can't be drawn back into WoW...this song brings tears of nostalgia
I want this on my funeral
Night elfs are awsome
Remember hearing this all the time during the Cataclysm events at lvl 20. Drives home that the ally/horde war has begun. Chilling stuff
this and Orgrimar music, best pvp/sleeping music
Whenever I close my eyes and listen to this song..
I ...AM...A NIGHT ELF!!
ISHNU DEL DIEV!!! :')
FUCK THIS WORLD!! I WANT TO BE A NIGHT ELF!!
too bad their models are shit.
YiaMdj
for now
TheJedimaster6788 alright edgy
one of my favourite songs in wow
Back when I played it I stoped questing, just to hear that song
It's a song full of sorrows and grief - poor nightelves
Hail to the night!
Next expansion: Eye of Azshara.... PLEASE! Give us Zin'Azshari, N'zoth, the emerald dream and a prelude to an epic burning legion invasion. All those things are related - it would be a godly expansion come on!
No Jania is Gonna go Bad and go back to Alt Azeroth and stop Arths from being the Lich king and the Human Armies invade our outlands Because Reasons!
If this expansion is released would it it go into the lore on how the ancient elves (that would soon become modern blood elves) were exiled? I want to see an expansion where the elf races work together a bit, at least moderately. Night Elves and Blood Elves working together and releasing some tensions I think would be cool to see. Idk if that goes with the lore but still I wish they would go into more what happened in Wow with them and see the elf races work together.

do you mean when the blood elfs became horde when they first were ally?
Not too sure about Zin'Azshari, N'zoth because I have no fucking clue what it is (not much of a lore guy, sadly)
But fuck yes. We want The Emerald dream. The blueprints of that place look awesome.
subtector Zin'Azshari was the capital city of the elves prior to the sundering, it was the largest city on Azeroth. It would be amazing. And N'zoth is arguably the most dangerous entity that currently resides on azeroth
May the grace of Elune dwell among your courts,let the ever watchful eyes of our lady Ysera bestow upon you the favour of her dreams.Let the heart of Cenarius give you courage to defend the innocent and bring balance to the nature.Jai'alator!!!
Even though I really like going around as blood elf a lot and i look forward for the horde (Vol'jin president mon), I REALLY love night elfes as lore, music and tell you what, Illidan is my favourite guy, then Malfurion and then Kael'thas
Wait Vol'jin is going to be warchief? I've heard one or two rumours
Yes he will, it is in the last cinematic of MoP
I agree, If only my gentle tauren druid could be friendly with them :( I'd hang out in Teldrassil all day
They are our ancestors after all, dear brother ;)
i could have sworn i heard them saying "Nordrassil" at 0:37
They are saying both of those things.
Zin'Azshanari, Quel'Dorei, Nordrassil, Belore Adore, Elune Adore.
such beautiful night elf voices
1:19 memories
Sorry but i don't see how cataclysm can be memories? Yes, it's a pretty good soundtrack that represent the night elves but i don't see the memories in it :)
wowgaming9 Don't remember first cinematic of WoW ???
Hyène triste I do. But i have no idea where this music plays in it ?
uygar başkaya If we go 1,5 years back in time we are in cataclysm. And if you read my comment correctly i said it was a soundtrack from cataclysm and that can't be memories :)
wowgaming9 That music was played in ashenvale, in vanilla too. So not all of this soundtrack is from Cata.
And cataclysm can be "memories" for someone too :)
Who's here after hearing about Teldrassil in Battle for Azeroth?
that is the same elvish simbol i got on my electric guitar!!!! i havent play this game..but i read the name ( night elves ) then i put the sticker behind my guitar..i just have a lot of elvish blood inside my heart ,GREAT BEAUTIFUL SONG I TRULY LOVED..THX
This is music of my people
Darn, I loved this piece of music! and yet people complained that Cataclysm was the worst expansion???
Heck for me Cataclysm was the ONLY reason I ever fell in love with WoW again after I had originally quit playing it in early 2007 (almost played it constantly for 2 years between 2005-2007)....for sure I can understand that some people who just wanted great end-game content were dissapointed that Blizzard seemed to focus more on re-working "vanilla" WoW lvl 1-60 zones entirely, but for me it was the best possible thing Blizzard could ever do to WoW. Gone were the boring and repetitive "kill 10 pigs, you get pants" (well for the most parts), there were much more variety in the quests, zones that before felt empty (like Silverpine and Azhara) were filled with quests and every zone had its own, longer chainquest with interesting stories to tell.
As one who loves the lore, characters and history of Warcraft, it was truly amazing experience to return to the reshaped World of Warcraft and see how all those zones had changed from "vanilla" WoW....well until Mists of Pandaria was announced at which moment I froze my account right away....still with Cataclysm, Blizzard managed to return my interest to WoW, and although the announcement of MoP killed it again momentarily, im glad to see that Blizzard is back on right track with Warlords of Draenor. Definitely going to return back to WoW again one day, perhaps once all the expansions have been released, so I can experience ALL of the game from beginning to the very end :D....ye I know that could take quite many years, but heck, I have plenty of other games to keep me busy xP
Anyways for me Cataclysm, definitely was the BEST expansion, thanks to its reshaped lvl 1-60 areas and ofcourse it added these new, incredibly epic and beautiful music pieces....music has always been one huge part what makes Warcraft feel so epic, and this piece of music is perfect example of that...not only that, but I think I saw the translation of the lyrics for this song once, I think its about some part of history of the night elves? again as Warcraft lore-lover I think that's truly amazing :D
I can just totally picture a cinematic of the Night Warrior ritual with this tune.
1:20
This is when the moon darkens, and the Horde armies run towards the sentinels and Wardens, while Tyrande is being engulfed by dark moonlight. I don't know why, but I can imagine a cinematic of that happening to be incredibly cool. Bonus points if it's a fully rendered one!
0:00 to 7:55 best parts
I'm watching in 2021😍
Ten thousand years ago we night elves defeated the Burning Legion. Though the rest of the world was shattered, we were left free to live out our immortal lives in peace, bound to the World Tree. We are its protectors, and through it we were granted immortality and power over nature. Now, at last, it is time we gave that power back.
+Kain Bear in mind that the Legions arrival was all due to the Night Elves diving too deeply into the Well, their blind devotion to an apotheosized leader bent on "cleansing" the world of the impure, and their wreckless behavior in face of such power. I love my Night Elves, but we can never be too proud as many of our accomplishments in saving Azeroth and other worlds has largely been a product of our own doing in the first place. Elune be praised, Goddess watch over us -- for left to our own devices we tend to stray from the light. :D
Still listening to in 24!?
Always
Yes, I still remember passing through Ashenvale with my druid for the first time after the cataclysm hit hearing that song start. I immediately went into prowl and just listened.
25.
Always going back once in a while ❤
Oh this song ... ! Just amazing !
Has anyone noticed that the song is actually played two times, first normal and then without voice?
RIP teldrassil
That's awesome music... I'm addicted..!!!
FOR THE ALLIANCE!
*****
Who are part of the alliance :p
imagine being 12 yr old unironically and like the alliance
@@baandroidarg2006 the alliance is better than the horde ngl
This music makes me feel sad about how most people will know Warcraft universe from a movie... I know it's not out yet, but even will high hopes... I don't think it can be anything as epic as the games were.
