- Welcome, dear traveler, to the sprawling savannahs of The Barrens. As we journey through these golden grasslands and lush oases, I, the Loremaster of this region, will accompany you across its untamed wilderness. Together, we shall uncover its history and lore, and discover the secrets of this eventful territory.
The Barrens is one of Azeroth's largest areas, a land of many dimensions and contrasting terrain. Situated in central Kalimdor, The Barrens is surrounded by an array of neighboring zones, each with its own distinctive characteristics and opportunities. Its dusty trails branch out to Durotar, Ashenvale, The Stonetalon Mountains, Mulgore, Thousand Needles and Dustwallow Marsh. Embarking east across the sea even brings adventurers to Stranglethorn Vale, accessible by boat via the neutral ports of Ratchet and Booty Bay.
Today, young travelers stand at the threshold of this harsh grassland. The name "Barrens" carries the weight of time, holding stories of cataclysmic upheavals and unbreakable alliances. As you tread this rugged terrain, keep in mind that the past is not all that defines this place; it pulses with a vibrant present. So come, embrace the tales that the Barrens whisper and the mysteries that it guards, for your journey is just beginning, and this land holds its secrets close.

[3. Local Defense] The Crossroads is under attack!
Vietnam War flashbacks man
Guess we're walking back to Orgrimmar cause the flight master's dead again
Lok Tar!
Dont worry,, I heard Chuck Norris is on his way..
Always xroads 😂
He did it. The S.O.B. actually did it. He dropped barrens chat in a lore video. You're beautiful and thank you again for giving us this trip through nostalgia
But when the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists
@@cardboardempire HAHA I didn't realize I made that reference, but I'll never say no to a Jeff Goldblum cameo
@@christopherbronson3275it’s now canon dude lol
@@peonoreeves3852 and I'm here for it
Chuck Norris stepped into the barrens and all the quests were completed.
The fact that they cut the zone in half and both were the size of two normal zones just shows how massive pre cata barrens was.
Much like Stranglethorn Vale! Massive zones in their own right.
If I need to call a fantasy world home, I'd say it's wow classic barrens. I feel at peace there.
Mulgore for me.
Zugbrother!
Horde scum!!!!
The Barrens chat one of my favorite memories!
Did someone say Thunderfury?
dos any1 now were mankrek wife is??1
When the chats so good you don't even wanna leave the zone despite needing to someday
LFG WC
Good evening, explorers of new and old!
Allow me to present to you 'The Lore of The Barrens,' a timeless classic that will forever be a part of many heroes' journeys through Kalimdor.
While creating this entry, I felt an obligation to grant poor old Mankrik the well-deserved peace and relief from the quilboar as I stood before him once more.
Enjoy!
These are great and nostalgic brother.
I asked you in the comments on a previous video about making a The Barrens video, thanks for listening to us. ❤
Telling Mankrik's full story was a fantastic addition.
@@CreamyPesto505 that section was really weird to listen to having just recently revisited "You Awaken In Razor Hill"
Can you never stop making these please lol literally stunning work 👏
Thank you dear traveler! I'm not nearly done with this channel, we've only just begun!
I found your channel with the Murloc video, and I think I am addicted to your Attenborough-esque narration style. Azeroth Nature/History Documentaries for each zone I LOVE IT!!!!
Awesome, thank you! Be very welcome!
The barrens is one of my favorite zones, thanks for making this video!
My pleasure!
Durotar, Mulgore, Barrens - so many memories for me.
Excellent video
Ah, The Barrens. I remember leveling my tauren hunter as a teen back in 2008 during the original TBC. The music, the ambience, the quests...loved it all. I would stay there for as long as I possibly could. I would even return to the zone to finish some quests I wasn't able to at lower levels. I had so much fun revisiting the zone as an orc shaman recently in WotLK classic. Thank you for this video. Your narration is legendary.
Apologies for the belated reply! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the video! The Barrens is indeed a zone full of memories. What's one quest or memory, besides the infamous search for Mankrik's wife, that stands out the most for you?
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth thanks for the reply! I would definitely say the quillboar quests! ( Consumed by hatred)
I literally just rolled a Tauren in WOTLK classic and have only just finished my first adventure through the barrens and loved every second of it. Honestly it has given me so much joy to see this video brought to life. Thank you and well done 🙏🏻❤️
Nice work! Good luck in classic WOTLK!
In vanilla, I don't exactly remember why. But I remember being a huge fan of the Wailing Caverns dungeon, maybe it was the more open feel compared to the more linear Deadmines, maybe it was the general vibe of the caverns, but I have many a fond memory of grinding the dungeon to collect the Druid of the Fang armor set. Excellent video and I look forward to what comes next!
I truly respect and envy the hardcore horde players who are stuck in this desert for like 20 or so levels. Really makes me think about how much of a luxury ally leveling is. Pre cata barrens is just so timeless though. Great video as always.
You can quite literally feel their shared struggle with the land. We have it good in Elwynn Forest and Redrige Mountains :) Thanks for your support, Jame!
My next orc is going to level through the Undead starting zones cuz my god. There's only so much desert I can take.
I'll add a bit to the trauma: Shaman water totem quest.
My very first character.
I guess I’m a weird one then that actually likes the barrens experience!
Please, please make one of these for every zone/dungeon/raid.
Great text, great narration, voice fits perfectly.
Binge watched every video of this series, amazing work.
Cheers from a fellow Lore geek from Brazil
That's great to hear! Thanks for your support and greetings to Brazil!
There's no better video to start my Hardcore Classic Orc with!
Man I miss the old days ... Thanks for the upload!
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!
Lol love the Barrens chat and chuck Norris references. I had to rewind saying did he just drop BC? LMAO Bless you Loremaster! Keep these magnificent videos coming.
Thanks for joining me on this journey!
Barrens chat mentioned in a lore video? 10/10 glad i found this channel
Hey, great to have you here! Enjoy!
you got much work to do my friend . Keep up the good work and continue across azeroth and kalimdor ... you have my sword
We're off on an adventure together!
I can't wait for silverpine forest and western/eastern plaguelands.
Those plus searing gorge/burning steppes with blackrock mountain. lol
You and me both!
What I wouldn’t give to be a 15 year old kid, playing through “Wailing Caverns” for the first time again. Thanks for the upload and the jog down memory lane.
So glad to be backing this channel, as a player who only started in MOP I missed out on a lot of the classic lore, this makes me discover it!
Happy to be of service!
The greatest general chat ever and will forever will be
Chuck Norris once threw a grenade that killed 13 people, then it blew up.
Well done. Impressively so. I subscribed. Can’t wait to learn more from this channel.
Super! Welcome on board and enjoy the ride!
I think I spent half of my 30s in the Barrens. By far my favorite zone, pre-Cata. Thanks for this wonderful nostalgia!
Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure!
I've been looking for Wow lore videos with a good voice to listen to, and you're perfect 😭😭
Glad you like it so much!
I started my Classic journey In Januari..what amazing place this was. Today I find myself as lvl 56 In Eastern Plaguelands. Every level and everything I do In that game feels meaningfull and no feelings as If I need to rush something. ❤
Nice work, fellow explorer! I have faith in your journey towards level 60. Discover Azeroth at your own pace! :)
Another amazing video. Great work!
This felt just like a show on PBS. Nature. Instead of Attenborough, it's the Chronicler! These are really lovely to watch and listen to. And I learn new things. Fantastic.
Glad you like them!
Love the tauren music, so damn cozy
The opening music when you get to The Barrens always gives me goosebumps. Also dropping the mention of barrens chat. Mad lad. lmao
Lol! No barrens is complete without a barrens chat! Thanks for watching!
I like how you aren't doing these videos on a private server, and we get to watch random people enjoy the areas you are portraying, living their lives like nothing is going on near them lol 😁
It's funny to see everyone going about their day, while I'm just slow walking through the different areas :)
This was an excellent listen. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Another awesome entry.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love your videos! Thank you very much!!!
I Did loose my Joy of playing by becoming to Progress focused. You helped me to come back to the childish Feeling i had when playing WoW
You are so welcome!
In the spirit of Vanilla Barrens chat I will speak to you in the voice of the ancients: Chuck Norris
The most important and memorable aspect for Horde adventurers. Conquering the unforgiving land.
I just noticed that NPC named "Foreman Grills". Nice Easter Egg there,Blizzard. :D
This effort put into that video is huge and also well executed.
I’ll give u a sup
Keep the content coming!
You bet! Thanks for the support!
Subbed the editing was sick and the commentary makes it feel like a documentary
Hey thanks so much! Enjoy!
This is my favorite series on TH-cam. Superb.
Glad to hear it! Enjoy!
Fantastic🎉 you did the region and history much justice this day!
Many thanks!
These chronicle videos are ART.
Thanks so much! Please enjoy!
Great videos!
I like the way you talk about the noteworthy quests in each area.
Its like watching a national geographic doc, but about wow :D
Love that comparison! Glad you're enjoying the deep dives into each area's lore. Is there somewhere you would like to explore next? Thanks for watching!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth
Thunder Bluff,
Maraudon / desolace
Blackrock mountains/ BRD could be cool if you explored those !
All duly noted, thanks! We will eventually cover them all, and some sooner than later :)
Absolutely amazing video on The Barrens! You are becoming one of my favorite content creators. Keep this awesome lore coming my friend! ❤
Thanks! Will do! Glad you like it so!
One of my favorite zones in Kalimdor.
Who hasn't been brought up with some Barrens in their day!
When Legion attacked, let's remember that mighty Saurfang himself came to the Barrens to defend the Crossroads.
Imagine if Orgrimmar were set there instead
This was amazing, thank you!
You're so welcome!
love these mate. please dpnt stop making them
Definitely enjoy making these! Expect a lot more!
While I am very much enjoying current WoW, at times I miss the world Pre-Cata.
play classic?
You do know that you can play classic right? Its booming
Titus Pullo reading Azeroth lore is amazing.
Hey, I do not know if this commentary will eventually be read by you, Loremaster, but I must say I really enjoy this splendid series. I am a foreigner so you have no idea how much time I spend on dissecting every little word that I cannot get through haha. This is such a good improving lesson each time a new video comes out though and even if I always considered myself bilingual, realising I still can struggle sometimes with some words is a wee bit frustrating haha. So here I am, catching myself reading outloud the subtitles as you speak and even though the videos are around 20-25 minutes, I spend the double amount of time training and repeating that lovely british accent. So thank you for that, mate.
Have a good day
Allow me to express my gratitude and return the favor by thanking you for your delightful comment. I appreciate the effort you've put into expanding your grasp of the English language. Your comment brings joy as I conclude my day, and I look forward to keeping you entertained with the upcoming entries. Cheers!
Another great video, looking forward to seeing the next ones come alive! :)
Coming soon!
It ibid to pick a zone that made me addicted to this game it’s the barrens. From the quests to finding a group for wailing it was nothing but core memories.
Had to like this for the Barrens chat reference
Had to mention it! Enjoy!
Excellent videos man. I really love listening to stuff like this. I haven’t found a channel I’ve enjoyed this much since Hayven games. May he rest in peace.
Superb, many thanks and be welcome!
Thank you Loremaster, for the well put lesson!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
This place is so huge in classic, that it took me 3 months to do all of the quests. And I play about 30 hours per week. I really enjoy fishing and skinning as an orc hunter with my trusted black wolf pet.
Getting it all into once video is also not an easy task! Thank you for sharing your adventures :)
Just goes to show .... In a lore video about the barrens you still can't leave out the barrens chat!:D
Exactly!
Love your lore videos! Please do Ashenvale at some point!!
Definitely on my list! Thanks!
Those videos are amazing
Glad you like them!
Love it, thanks
Love how the chuck norris jokes in barrens chat made it in here.
Can't talk about The Barrens without mentioning the iconic Barrens chat!
These videos are so wonderful. Truly great work.
Glad you think so!
When classic came out, I leveled each class through the barrens while it was still populated, just to enjoy the barrens over and over and over again.
This is so good dude.. I wish I could have watched these videos before playing vanilla as a kid so I could have appreciated it more; but perhaps that was part of the mystique.
Keep it up mate these videos are so good
Thanks a ton!
Good content👍
Glad you think so!
Let’s gooooooo!!
Great voice actor. Well spoken video
Thanks! Just a heads-up; the narration is done through AI :)
Well done 😊
Thanks for the visit!
Perfect to fall asleep
28 min video on Barrens lore... my body is ready 😤
How was the journey?
When chuck norris does a push up. He’s not pushing himself up, but pushing the world down!
Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
Classic Barrens is still my favorite zone
What if you did these with David Attenborough’s voice? How absolutely amazing that would be?
copyright
@@kellyvigmostad9017 I thought people used it often enough without copyright issues. Maybe not if you do it for a whole video, huh?
Edit: yeah people use it for lore videos
As AI continues to progress, it's important to consider the uses of these technologies. While replicating someone's voice may be possible, it's not necessarily the ideal application.
In the case of the narrator in the Lore videos, that voice is uniquely generated, which might sound familiar but remains distinct and cannot be duplicated. This approach allows for both respecting the intellectual property of others and using AI to support the channel effectively :)
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Huh, well I certainly respect that stance on the issue.
These videos are awesome dude, keep it up! May I suggest Silverpine Forest? 😁👍
Added to the list! Thanks!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Sweet and you're welcome 😁
“Barrens chat isn’t a place, it’s a people”
Wiser words, I have not heard today! Peace be with you!
I love these videos.
Glad you enjoy them!
Chuck Norris only has two settings, walk and kill
These are the videos you think about like "dang I wish someone would make videos like this". Please do every zone/race/character.
barrenschat is indeed the most important lore of barrens
This channel rules
A place of unity between the Orcs and Taurens became a place of unity for all of the Horde. For all of the hearts led through it's nuanced landscapes. And for all the hearts that passed through it by nothing more than there wit, where-with-all, and an aquired sence of humor. For those who deny this truth, may Chuck Norris have mercy on your soul
Nostalgia all the way
THE BARRENS! Best zone ever.
You bet it is!
duels in barrens hit different
Just discovered your channel and subbed str8 away!
Do you plan on doing all the vanilla zones or just a select few?
Hey, we're glad to have you on board! The idea is to cover every zone, race, dungeon and event in Classic WoW until all lore will have its own unique presentation! So we're in for a ride :)
miss the Barrens chat
I remember having a hard time locating Mankrik's wife. I found her eventually but the time it took me to find her...
She's easy to miss!
@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth yeah exactly. But I got to admire his dedication for his late wife even if it was heading to self-destruction.
I love how the lifts to thousand needles don't have a pulley system or anything
It's magic!
Yaaaaaaaaay
8:21 HE SAID IT
Who remembers barrens chat circa 2006?
Foreman Grills 😂😂 12:56
Lol!
Did someone say [Thunderfury, blessed blade of the windseeker] ?
Chuck Norris didn’t had to played through the Barrens, the Barrens had to play through Chuck Norris
Makes perfect sense!
