The Complete Lore of Resurrection in World of Warcraft (World of Warcraft Lore)
When you die in WoW have you ever wondered what the in game lore reasons there are for being able to come back to life? Skill is needed as is power, but in certain circumstances some of our favorite characters have died and come back to life.
We'll go over how those are able to be accomplished and even the circumstances that have led to our own player character canonical deaths and resurrections in the lore thus far.
Join me today as we discuss every bit of information and lore regarding resurrection in the World of Warcraft!

How The Nightborne Became Immortal (WoW Lore) #worldofwarcraft #wowlore #warcraft
มุมมอง 863หลายเดือนก่อน
The Nightborne subsisted on the Nightwells power for 10,000 years. The Nightwell is partly powered by Azeroth's World Soul life essence through the leylines that lie underneath Suramar. The Well of Eternity's power came from the same source and gave the Night Elves Immortality. So it is very likely that the Nightwell did the same for the Nightborne as it was made from the same power of Azeroth'...

The Language of Spellcasting in World of Warcraft (World of Warcraft Lore)
มุมมอง 1.2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Do mages speak words to be able to cast spells in World of Warcraft? When casters cast spells they sometimes use words of power or phrases to be able to cast a bigger or more complex spell. We also sometimes see our own player characters mouth words when casting as well. In this video I go over examples of talking while spellcasting for our player character and from major lore characters where ...
They even changed the skin model from tirisfal zombies, now they look more childish eeew
How many times was the word "mind" said in this short...
Has nothing to do with being Forsaken. Forsaken are the undead that swore fealty to Sylvanas after the Lich King's control over them dimmed enough for them to break free after developing a mental resistance to it in it's weakened state. It is why they can't be taken over by the Lich King again. Their loyalty to and belief in Sylvanas is what gave them the mental fortitude to exist outside the Lich King's control and to resist any further attempts at domination. It's why that woke bullshit of making Sylvanas an allegory for Trump (and Saurfang an allegory for Hillary) and making her the bad guy all along is complete bullshit and thus not canon. Now there is the Undead and then the Forsaken. Belief and fealty to the The Dark Lady is what kept them from turning into mindless undead as this pact of loyalty kept their dark energy stable. Undead once resurrected need maintenance from a necromancer to restore their bodies and minds with necromantic energy. This is why originally the undead that you kill in the Forsaken starting area were either those left over from when they were scourge and were too far gone to resist, or those that were resurrected and given the choice to become forsaken or wander into the wilderness. The point being, if they mindless, then they aren't Forsaken, as the Forsaken are a people bound by a belief and loyalty.
There is an immortal character in my novel, but I never dove into the mechanics of his immortality.
Watched out of curiosity, and subbed because this is good stuff. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
There should be a „danger“ sign in front of the Undercity lift.
Another one BIG unique circumstance illidans return from the end at black temple to the hunt for his soul and body in legion
What about the circumstances of tyrs return
You are completely right! It completely slipped my mind when making the video, but that is correct he was resurrected. There's a couple other circumstances for a few other characters here as well that I unfortunately missed. Thanks for the info 🙂👍
Well now that the Nelves have their tree again and Nozdormu has his powers, why doesn't he give them immortality?
You're right, he totally can give them immortality again. Maybe they deserve it too for what they've had to go through recently. I''ll probably touch on this on my night elf video I have planned for the future, need to do some research.
@@StormwindUniversity Yea I'm wondering if Nozdormu's power from azeroth = same power from Well of Eternity. If that's the case, he certainly can give immortality to them again.
@@Junglewarfare Another thing to think about is the nature of their individual powers as aspects, because each of them got titan related powers like Nozdormu got time magic from Aman'thul, but if his power comes from Azeroth now is it still time magic. I'm assuming it is because it's already a part of his nature now since his original empowerment and Azeroth just replenished it?
@ Interesting. Is it replenished or something different entirely? Was that mentioned and I missed it?
@@Junglewarfare I don't think it's mentioned, just that they have their powers as aspects again but maybe it is replenished since the Titans wanted Azeroth's world soul to be born a Titan maybe Azeroth is just that powerful to do that?
I love how you missed leeroy jinkens from WoD as a follower. You can ressurect him. And he was dead for seven years. Just on the floor in a corner of Upper BlackRock spire. From Wod.
Watching censored greymane is an insult to everyone
You 100% deserve a lot more subs for just this video alone, (subbed) Also, never knew that Anduin rezzed Varian, that is awesome
Thanks 🙂
This doesn't even make sense. Why do some lose their minds over time and others don't? This is bad and shortsighted writing.
cmon use ur imagination. maybe all forsaken WILL eventually lose their mind, it just happens faster for some due to natural circumstances (like the aforementioned rot and decay of the physical body) or cuz of a pre-existing mild form of insanity... kind of like an alzheimers or dementia thing. i mean if u woke up as a literal zombie in a tomb one day wouldnt u start to go a little MAD? the forsaken canonically used to be regular humans, it would affect everyone differently. or maybe there's some sort of MAGIC out there that can prolong forsaken sanity but not all have access to it. just a few possibilities.
It's a topic that's been explored within the Warcraft universe. The dark magic that binds the souls of undead to their bodies is an imperfect binding. The descent into madness is mainly time-related, as the longer a Forsaken exists the higher chances of them becoming mindless, however they can avoid this by keeping their bodies intact. It also primarily affects those who were older when raised (the undead Gretchen in the video was already an old woman when she was raised into undeath) similar to a form of undead senility.
but why can i resurrect my dead character who died like 3 years ago ?
Well actually you can put a baby in the shadowlands and just walk out
Forsaken only live 20-30 years according to lore. That’s why Sylvanas and her Val'kyr conducted the dark mirror ritual with Nathanos cousin Stephons corpse to „immortalize“ Nathanos.
Loramus Thalipedes, the demon hunter in the blasted lands quest chain was also dismantled and we fetch up his body parts for him to be resurrected via the altar of storms
great videos and very unique man I love it you are awesome
@@chalo3427 Thank you! 🙏
I dont play WoW anymore but still really enjoy videos like this. I thought you were a longtime TH-camr based on this videos quality until I checked the channel. Subbed! Cant wait to see your channel grow
Thank you I appreciate it 🙂
The Kyrian are the bad guys. The Forsworn were right but blizzard sucked at writing.
Surprised you didn't mention Calia Menethil getting resurrected as a light-undead.
I was on the fence on whether or not to include her as she is still classified as undead albeit resurrected, but being undead it seems her soul is not fully connected to her body as it would be with normal resurrection or with someone who's alive. I did mention her for my immortality video though. Hopefully we get more info on her whole state of being in Midnight since it'll be about Void/Light etc
the option to ress into a metal body should be a thing, unlock by playing HC till 60 then doing a quest chain and then as a reward :D
Valajar bodies for every race :D
Interesting topoc. Havent seen this covered before. Subbed.
Great video!
nice !
Lore video. Shadowlands mentioned. Welp, Im gonna head out. Was a nice 1 minute of watching but I'm done.
While resurrection is a very rare ability lore wise, while common among players. But in saying that, players also known as powerful “heroes”, “adventurers”, “champions”are very rare as well in lore. Also in the same boat as resurrection. Hearthstones are very rare as well, while common among players. It’s not really known where they come from as well. Also yes, they are canonical 😂. But with Varian’s case. With the way fel works in lore, it literally destroys the soul and uses souls as fuel. Which non existence is a fate worse than true death. Which in lore makes also makes Demon hunters and more so Warlocks permanent means of killing someone.
Yeah pretty crazy how rare hearthstones are. There's quite a bit of lore about them in the Stormrage book. Maybe I'll make a video about that eventually it's super interesting.
i feel like i should be taking down notes... lol.
So you don't realize that most of those outliers do have an explanation also given to us in the shadowlands...
Love this chenel <3 one of the better lore channels!
From what videos is the arthas animation?
It was from the Fall of The Lich King trailer blizz had for Wrath Classic. Here you go th-cam.com/video/DjuN1dE50VI/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUSd3JhdGggY2xhc3NpYyBmYWxs
Sally pulled a Rowena with that resurrection spell 😊 But yay!!!! Another epic lore channel!
The amount of cheap deaths in WoW Hardcore is too damn high.
Excellent content, love it. Cheers! 💚✌ One thing you forgot to mention is Battle resurrection of the druids. They use seeds to implant new life on their allies to raise them.
Thank you, you're right I didn't even think of the seeds being used on allies for res. I feel like there might have been some other small outliers as well in some books.
This channel is going to be HUGE
Great video, instant sub
i'm about to binge this whole video my lunch break🍜
just finished it, great content! i'm ready to enroll in Stormwind University👨🎓
@ Thanks haha 😁
wtf just 300 subs? i was expecting this channel to have at least 100k, very nice video
Thank you 😁
I've found out your channel a week ago and ever since I've been enjoying a lot of your content mate. Keep doing this. Cheers
Thanks, I really appreciate it, hopefully next one doesn't take so long haha
First!🎉 Another great video and a really interesting subject too! Made me wonder if anyone in the lore or a quest questions a player character's ability to come back from the dead on their own though?🤔
Thanks! That's a really good question. You never know. If there's anything I've learned doing all the research for these videos is sometimes there's remarks hidden deep in long quest chains that you didn't realize were there until you go back and do them again.
Technically in the Paladin order hall, some of the guards have idle chatter where they talk about rumors of the PC resurrecting on their own.
Great stuff! 💚✌
Great content, you did your research very well. Game wise all adventurers (players) are immortal in a way they are resurrected via Spirit Healers. As others suggested resurrection is whole new topic in this matter and You only mentioned few ways how to do it. Even in Warcraft 3 heroes were resurrected via altars. Its hard to die in World of Warcraft if manage to get some power/will to fight for safety of Azeroth. As if planet itself choose its defenders. Peace and love. 💚✌
@@WrynnCZ Thank you for your kind words. The video I'm editing right now which is almost done is actually about resurrection and it's 22 minutes long. Please look forward to it 👍
@@StormwindUniversity Already subbed and waiting as I read about your next video in another comment. I am looking forward to it, cheers. 😎
I mostly See spoken words as some kind of Mantra which helps you focus your Mind.
but how do liches keep their minds? If they are legit skeletons.
So when a Lich decides to become such they bind their soul to a phylactery. And then from inside that they generate a form usually skeletal. Think of it like any other high ranking Scourge enemy except they have a partially skeletal body.
@@StormwindUniversity ohhh that's why they don't die if u kill them, u need to destroy their phylactery?
@@EllieWhisperwind Yeah that's exactly it. For instance in the Scholomance dungeon the first boss is a Lich. Her phylactery is right in front of her and when you bring down all her health the fight continues on until you destroy the phylactery otherwise she can come back to life. This is how Kelthuzad was able to come back to life from Vanilla Naxxramas to WoTLK Naxxramas.
@@StormwindUniversity Note: Players are given quests to retrieve Kel'Thuzad's Phylactery and Baron Rivendare's head. These are turned into Father Inigo Montoy, who, in WotLK, is revealed to be an aspiring Lich and a hidden member of the Cult of the Damned, which is the real reason both characters return in WotLK.
I think it would be easiest to live forever as a warlock. You simply run a pig farm. Drain the youth from the young pigs and stay young yourself and get adult pigs that you can sell to the butcher. And it might even be completely legal and safe, which nobody would probably mind because you're not doing anything bad that other farmers wouldn't do. Except that your pigs “grow up” much faster.
That's a great idea 😂 Even the most novice of warlock could stay young forever relatively easily.
Guess this pigs meat from a warlock would not give you much life force (nutrients).
quality stuff!
Thank you!
Great video! Glad seeing someone tackling such interesting aspects of WoW lore for once. Looking forward to the next one!👍
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad people are enjoying. Hard at work on the next one right now.👍
Garbage writing😂😂
The lore in game literally says “one of”. If she was the most powerful it wouldn’t say one of. Most of her feats are due to her exclusive access to the well which she lost much of her power when it was destroyed.
Plenty of GOATs in the world but I'm gonna give it to Aegwynn out of sympathy
@ I mean she was technically imbued with multiple mages powers.
Well it was never confirmed it was because of her accesses to the well (so headcanon) and most Highest ranking highborne like xavius had same amount accesses to the well and still apprentice malfurion beats xavius. Also when it was stated she became weaker majorly? N'zoths Power are equally great. Ingame source you are quoting says magic user not mage which counts wild gods, other magic type users and other demigodly beings in azeroths history. She did commit a taboo by bathing in the well multiple times which technically could explain how powerful she was. Also mannoroth had full accesses to the well (during WotA novels when they were bringing sargeras) and sargeras told mannoroth he stood no chance against azshara its he or archimonde who were only superior to her. Meaning both with full accesses (equal power boost) azshara still was more powerful than mannoroth. At Aeqwynns peak sure she was empowered by multitple mages but her last major fight she didn't have any of that as she fough medivh/sargeras who had all of guardiang powers with Aeqwynn having only her own powers and medivh/sargeras was losing until she drained all life from land and people in karazhan and deadwind pass which gave sargeras/medivh the Power advantage Even after that loss Aeqwynn fully ressurected medivh before the events of the third war leaving her drained and thats only few cases in the lore of having true ressurections in the setting
@ it literally was as that’s what the well does. It enhances powers.
@@johnj4471 well it does enhanche power not by much if second strongest highborne mage losses to malfurion who was an apprentice druid at that point. And still what single mage can be said that only archimonde and sargeras are superior to from ranks of legion. While among one among three strongest of sunstrider dynasty dath'remar was no match for xavius as a mage and kael is still considered a one of the best kirin tor had to offer.
Looks more like the eclipse from berserk
