Asmon -"He DID tell him?! WHAAAAT?! When?"
Chat - "5 shirts ago."
Lmfao, I love his chat. Best streamer and funniest chat
"Never trust someone with a mustache like that"
Can confirm. My ex wife had a mustache like that. Took everything I owned.
Asmongold has a mustache mmmmm 🤨
Oof
@@pirategoku3218 Asmongold has said mustache
damn dood
'stash was inspired by Sinestro hisself
Every other WoW plotline:
Mage: I have found this new kind of magic.
Leader: It's dangerous, never use it again!
Mage: Okay, I won't.
Also Mage: *does it anyway*
Doom ensues...
It always comes down to the damn mages lol
And what did we learn here? The Qun is the truth, ensalve all mages to servitude and pain.... (Dragon Age ref.)
Sundering of the world?
Mages' fault.
Summoning the Legion?
Mages' fault.
Arthas' fall to becoming Lich King?
Mages' Fault.
The Scourge?
Mages' fault.
so every mage is just cyanide and happiness "fart in a jar martin"
Aliens land, turn orcs evil and we got to fight of space invaders that call themselves legion.
It just so stupid xD
This is what happens when you try to put a prohibition on fel magic instead of legalizing & regulating it.
very underrated comment lmfao
Fel, the marijuana of the 6 cosmological forces
@@devincampbell5007 I think it's more like the cocaine of the 6 cosmological forces since it made them better at a price.
@@fudgefudge8913 Wouldn’t that be Arcane, or is Arcane like that only for elves? Fel isn’t the one that drives people to insanity the easiest so whichever drug does that IRL would be Void and I would assume that’s meth, and death (the real marijuana of the cosmology chart for me) is hard to pin
@@devincampbell5007 Arcane and Fel used to be the same School of Magic. But you know, Blizzard likes to retcon stuff.
Archimonde cared way too much about his looks to turn himself like KJ.
In the book they call him something like archimonde "the handsome"
@@pichonalpalo Killjadean is called The Lord of flame and The beautifull one.
i really like that archimonde kept his eredar look tbh
@@gamesux420 I do appreciate that Blizz just stuck with the WC3 design instead of redesigning him and put a splotch of retconned lore to justify their decision
that comment "They FEL for it..." :D
Sargeras coming back as an ally against the Void/Light would be badass
My guess is illidan will be his reformed avatar of justice when it’s time to bring da boys back
im pretty sure that was sargaras mission from the start. sargaras was fighting a war against the void. So it would make sense
@@pandasniper1 i always thought the cinematic with Sargeras stabbing Silithus was him trying to kill C'thun or some shit, but you know he's dead and all. Who knows though
@@jonhg92 hes convinced Azeroth cant be saved from the Old Gods, so it was most likely his last attempt at what he considered a mercy killing.
I feel like sargeras coming back to fight for good is like stalin coming back but a good guy
16:00 You can say Kil'Jaeden was badass according to his appearence, but Archimonde was someone who was filled with fel magic entirely and yet, he did not suffer any twist, no transformation, nothing. It shows how gifted he was in controlling magic and i see this as his own way of being badass.
@@SuperKorenman I would like to read this in the oficial lore, if you dont mind, you can tell me where i can find this reference. 😄
He kind of reminds me of Xerxes in appearance.
World of Warcraft needs more forsaken heroes, that's for sure.
true
The forsaken are the closest thing to Evil the horde has. There are no heroes in the Forsaken.
@@UnleashedOdinV2 Shes not really Forsaken. She was a human who just became dead and then not. Probably the same treatment that Voljin got. And now shes most likely going to become the new defacto undead leader and crack the whip to make the undead good again.
And warlock heroes
The Ebon Blade has dibs on all cool undead champions
I love how chat always tell Asmon to stop pausing the vid so he can "react harder"
Yeah, pausing is exactly why he's actually *great* at reacting.
double shrek
@@dne1869 :o
and if he doesnt pause but adds commentary: SHUT UP MALD
yea , asmongold is a cool guy but his chat is clearly filled with stupid people .
“Never trust a mustache like that.”
*Looks at mustache in mirror*
I have become a monster..
To compare Archimonde and Kil'Jaden and their appearances think of it like this:
Archimonde is a warlock, he wields immense demonic power externally
Kil'Jaden is like a demon hunter, he took the legion's power into himself and it physically changed him
It's always funny to see Asmon's reactions to learning lore.
@@zeening He knows about gameplay, not about lore (at least not that much)
@@zeening which is funny
@@delf2731 Does he? The highest form of gameplay he engages in by his own merit is farming old cosmetics.
@@zeening Why are you here if you don't enjoy his content?
@@zeening because the more you learn about WoW lore the more you realise how stupid it is
The HOT Alien Race that Doomed WoW.
Lol. The devs confirmed that human ladies dislike the draenei ones because human men find them so "exotic"
More like the idiot space goats that ruined azeroth.
HOT and TALL, remember that Draenei are regularly taller than Night/High/Blood/Void/Nighborne Elves, and they range between 1.8m to 2m.
That's like blaming Forsaken for Sylvanas' actions though, or the entirely of the Alliance for Varian/Anduin's actions.
Archimonde and Kil'Jaiden were trusted leaders of the Eredar along with Velen, so it wouldn't be hard for them to manipulate the others, especially in their society where they seem to revere their leaders and superiors, like their Exarchs in WoD. You also see Exarch Othaar manipulating a lot of draenei, converting them into Sargerei with false promises and charisma.
@@Jason-kp4vc Sylvannas would have never done anything wrong if it wasn't for Arthas. She has been a puppet ever since the Sunwell fell to the scourge.
lol you prolly do need a pretty damn large rug to deal with Sargeras
That staff smack of Velen killed me
I love this Draenei race and still play 2007-2021
Amen brother 🙌
1680.00 Dollar nice waste of money ;)
Same
I would think the Nauru wanted this so the legion would fight the void like Sargeras said he would, but idk if the crystal would show that or not. Would be a cool reason the Nauru just said to leave.
Blizzard... Blizzard is going to make us travel the universe and collect all the Chaos Emeralds one expansion aren't they.... sigh hopefully they will be some allied races.
new hedgehog allied race :3
We're going to need those DAMN chaos emeralds to save Azeroth for the 7943rd time.
@@andreware2039 So I did a little research into them. Apparently, the players hold one of those crystals.
We hold the one known as the Heart of Fury. It is supposed to increase our Aggression and Strength. It resides in the [Medallion of Karabor] which was our key to get into the black temple.
Another we know the location of somewhat... is Spirit’s Song it was given to a Naaru and we don't know exactly what it is supposed to do.
The other 5 are pretty much MIA. You could argue that Velen has 3 of them, but if he had 3 of 7 Infinity stones... has been allied with us all this time... and did not use them once to help us out... imma be pissed.
God i hope Open Your Heart plays when the final battle happens lmfao
All other shades of furry.
I remember when they were the ones responsible for corrupting sargeras and were always demons. Then they didn't corrupt sargeras and no one explained why sargeras went bad.
That was when I stopped caring about the lore, because blizz did not care about retcons or changing things for the benefit of the moment.
actually, it was the dreadlords that solidify sargeras's fears and thus creating the legion so they could kill alot of people....so it was all the jailer's fault.
The Dreadlords jobs as demons was basically to turn the other forces against one another and get them to weaken each other as much as possible for Death’s eventually assault. The hidden purpose of the Legion that the Dreadlords helped put into place was for it to weaken and destroy as many living realms as possible, both to deny the Void and strengthen Death.
Is there anything stating a connection between nathrezim/nerazim (nerazim are potentially canon to the Warcraft universe, but are canon to the Nexus (as is the Dreadlord Jaina meme); term for female dreadlords) and venthyr? And Zovaal probably wasn't responsible for anything Denathrius did at the time anyway. A better retcon that connects the -zim with Denath is a non-demonic prototype of the demons, with Denath dying and suggesting that he could potentially redeem sinful souls, whilst the other natrazim (name pending) self corrupted in times unrecorded to the point of becoming demons and splitting into two races. Later on, Sargeras finds them and other demon races and locks them in Mardum. Then, a -zim, likely either Dreadlord Jaina or Mal'ganis the Eternal (the two dreadlord "heroes" in Heroes of the Storm), showed Sargeras a Void-infested planet that possibly had a world soul. He proceeds to cleave it in half, shatter Mardum and declare a Burning Crusade to reset the universe, the next time without the Old Gods interfering. That's then where the eredar come in. Archimonde, Kil'jaeden, and the majority of Argus, kind of including the world soul himself, decide to join the demon club, which results in Argus becoming the respawn point of the Legion. Very few didn't want to, even fewer didn't have it forced upon them, fewer still didn't die from demons, and only a miniscule amount lived to have a chance of being a player character. Eredar that aren't demons have been slowly declining over the 13 millennia the man'ari have existed, and all because most of the planet decided they would pay any price for a power boost. Also, they retconned SL out of existence recently.
18:20 the fel river sound so original and feels real gj on that blizz.
I want to play as those evil red Draenei.
i know right? I wanna see them become an allied race at some point. The (unwillingly)evil counterpart to the lightforged
@@GearShotgun I would love to play as one, either as draenei demon hunter or allies race for horde to trigger draenei
@@greenchilistudioz4537 hmmm demon hunter wouldn't work since that's blood and night elf only
Lightforged Draenei are pretty cool as well
1:42 Velen tried to in Lore, but being the intellectual he is, Kil'Jaeden thought surrendering to the fel (when I say surrender I dont mean like "OH GOD NO PLEASE WE SURRENDER" but rather mesmerized by the power and surrendered himself along with archimonde, to the fel to get powerful) this of course velen had foreseen. Once corrupted by the fel, Sargeras (or mannoroth i can't remember which) obviously did not like Velen stopping his people because he could see the fels true nature, turning the two Draenai against their friend Velen.
(edit i realize platinum actually went to read the lore, i only posted this because sometimes he skips over or skims the surface or lore topics)
I think the way the pit lords were corrupted is easy to deduce. It was munchies.
I really like how all the shit that happened to Azeroth and the entire universe happened because some random ass blue skinned space goat person stumbled upon Fel magic and went crazy with the power it bestowed. Everything else happened as a result of that random guy getting high on Fel fumes and I think it’s the funniest shit ever. 😆
Isn’t that what happens when someone becomes a drug addict? They get addicted to the substance and totally destroy the lives of everyone around them, don’t give a crap who or what they destroy and need more and more to keep feeling the same sense of power until everyone who loved them leaves and lets the person destroy themself with their new friends and new lifestyle.
“Say no more mysterious god!”
So Draeneis are the first warlocks, the first mages, the first priest/paladins, and pretty much everything outside of monk and shaman xD What a master race
I mean, could’ve been first monks as well. In auchindoun there are Draenei monks, and there’s nothing to say that being a monk wasn’t a thing when they were living on Argus
@@Hi-fd4cw The monk in WOW use the mist which is typical of pandaria if I am not mistaken
@@menalgharbwalsharq648no they use chi which is an element present on every planet
If you have a giant demonic sword and you cant get rid of it get a bunch of scaffolding and build a city around the dang thing so you can host metal concerts there.
Hey Blizzard make a Legion faction where we get to play as Eredar, it imagine it to be just like the Death Knights serving Arthis, except now we’re serving Kil’jaden. Or better yet add a Legion faction as a 3rd faction and add multiple demon types to play.
Eredar lore is so fuckin good. Good video to make people see how cool Draenei are.
After I saw this video I immediately made a Draenei warrior
Kil'jaden is the freaky of the two, he indulges in a lot of BodMod, while Archimonde tries to stay elegan, after all he's a bodybuilder.
Sargaras turn me into a fell that brings darkness on the realms
4:37 lmao I thought they slapped an Asmongold clip in the original video somehow and I was so confused
Nobody:
Velen: I do as the crystal guides.
11:00
Literally what Sauron did in Eregion, he appeared before Galadriel and the other Elf rulers as Anatar, the "bearer of Gifts" and mongo'd them.
Yep, not to mention the entire Fall of Numenor
Only in wow can you find rickety boats, steam powered planes, magnetic powered trains, and intergalactic space fleets and nobody bat's an eye.
7:39 No doubt gets corrupted, because "good guy gets corrupted by evil power" is literally the only plot Blizzard knows how to write.
You'd think Blizzard would had only used that plot once, in Warcraft 3 the Frozen Throne.. but I guess they like too recycle major plots
Archimonde & Kil’jaeden:
This Sargeras guy is way cooler than Velen
Cya Velen
Velen: 🥺
Never realized such a big fan of wow could know so little about the lore XD love your videos and streams
Speaking of the sword, nothing was ever said about it. It's still there after BFA and still not mentioned in SL.
Thal'Kiel is literally the Dr. Strange plot
We got stuck with essentially the scientologists of the Eredar.
The thumbnail reminds me of those derpy-ass pictures that Jessica Nigri tskes every once in a while lmao.
The warlock demonology artifact is this guy thalkiel's head
Dude i always was asking a question how did Azeroth survived Sargeras. I mean, he litteraly layed hit hand when he put the sword. Only by his hand layed on, Azeroth should have some fucking CATACLYSMES man.
It did, only this time, the world was not revamped.
Interesting thought though, now that the legion is disbanded, the void can roam more freely. Good that the legion is gone, but good for the void too. The void lords wanted this.
And death is their other enemy which we are also destroying. The void will soon be at full strength.
Who would have thought that space goats were crazy
If not for Archimonde's boss, there would be no triumvirate, KilJaeden might have listen to Velen, if Sargares ever even showed up since he only be because of Archimonde
WHY DOES THE WL ARTEFACT WEAPON DON´T HAVE A MUSTACHE?!
they should pull out the sword in the next expansion to reveal the hollow azeroth.
Is it really surprising that the legion drove this much into the lore since before wow was a thing? We are playing the same game right?
Kil'Jaeden did created the lich king, idk about the armor but he tortured and fused Nerzhul's soul in the armor. i dont play shadowlands so i dont know if they ignore this part of the lore or if it is related somehow.
It wasnt ignored, it was just changed to fit the narrative of the Shadowlands. Blizzard doesnt care about their own lore anymore and everything can be changed to fit where they want it.
They just specified the origins of the armor & blade. It was always stated to have been made by the Nathrezim, only now it was revealed that the Nathrezim brought them from the Shadowlands.
It was always the Dreadlords who gave Kil’Jaden the stuff. They said they had forged it, but they unsurprisingly lied, and had actually got it from the Shadowlands.
Which makes sense as the Scourge never really fit the Legion and as revealed the Legion couldn’t make another Scourge despite trying.
Draeneis are the best (hot) race cheers
"the magic rock is always right", I need that on a t shirt
The one thing the video forgets to mention is that Velen basically did nothing as he watched his entire planet turn into ruins. Not once did he make a stand against Archimonde or Kil'Jaeden and tell them to chill tf out. Instead he just ran away when it was too late to stop them.
He did try to tell them to stop, but knew an actual fight between him and his few loyalists against the other two and their legions would’ve been suicide. There wasn’t much they could for a lot of the time but run away.
Velen did warn Kil'jaeden and Archimonde. They didn't listen. It's even shown in Legion.
Bald equal Badass
“Never trust the man with a thin mustash like that.” Says the man with a thin mustash.
thalkiels head is the affliction artifact weapon :D
MY LIFE FOR AIUR! I mean *space goat bleating*
I just thought of this now, icecrown is most north and silithus is most south. Shadowlands and Sargeras' sword connecting through the planet?
Northrend has always been a place closely connected with Death.
Actually, the southernmost zone on Azeroth is Krasarang Wilds.
@@bubbykins4864 I wasnt talking about Azeroth as a whole, i was connecting the shadowlands and the giant sword thats been neglected for nearly 2 expansions
its The Legions fault... until Shadowlands when you realize its really The Jailers fault... playing his 5D chess with the cosmos, his plan so intricate even the WoW writers cant figure it out.
Until they eventually decided, "fuck it, none of this Shadowlands shit even happened, ignore the loot you'll still have when starting next expac, on to the Dragon Isles!"
"Just listen to the rock" best advice ever!
It's funny how kill jaiden is called the deciver yet he he got tricked by archimond then by sargeras then by the dradlords and even owned by illidan sush irony
"Careful Asmongold or next Xpac we'll be farming Carpet Power to cover the sword" lmao
So correct concerning the moustache meter...name one thin moustache wearer that we can trust..
In the books archimonde and kil'jaeden didn't listen to velen because they thought that it was only what he expected and in reality it wasn't but they were wrong
Because the Naaru needed them to fall to the Legion, and ONLY Velen to get away.
Why? Because that is the One True Path.
In the light's view, there's a SPECIFIC, PERFECT way that the world has to play out. And that involves Velen's son dying at his hand, and Illidan being lightforged.
And now the One True Path is broken. And the light won't just sit around. Expect them to do something extreme to return the timeline back on the one true path.
Hahaha when I got a stain in the carpet I put a rug on it.
In WC2 lore, KJ was scared of Medivh
what sword?
"PowerFEL magic." I see what you did there...
Chat spamming BOOBA during the whole video LULW
I think blaming the results of every bad thing that has happened on the Eredar is kinda foolish. Because if a fallen titan like Sargeras is as powerful as we all know him to be then he would be completely capable of finding a substitute for the Eredar.
I mean if the Eredar didn't accept Sargeras's offer he would've just destroyed them regardless? Not much you can do against a guy who can just cleave your world in two.
Yeah, unfortunately. One of the main reason Kil'jaden joined Sargares was because he didn't think there was any hope the legion could be stopped
*appears*
THIS ROCK, IS FULLA MAAAAGIIIIIIIIIICK!
“Why is he dry humping Azeroth?” 🤣🤣 I thought the exact same thing when I saw that cinematic for the first time.
Well Sargeras wants the female Titan inside the planet, so it's pretty clear why.
@@snappycenter7863 True! 😂😂
Legion is not defeated only Sargeras is- demons are still in twisting nether realm
Sargareas held it together. With no one to replace him the Legion will fall apart.
im going to get twitch just for buddy here
How does Asmon put out so much content? Is he streaming every day and then posts it on TH-cam? This guy works hard...
He streams 5 days a week and he has 2 editors who work on this channel.
"content"
@@madtitan4892 did we stutter?
Almost everything in wow universe is legions fault as said in video. So when we were demigods with our artifacts in legion expansion, we stopped the legion after a lot of hard work story wise. After legion was destroyed, the wow has lost its meaning for me. The next thing came after it felt terrible. I felt like i went from a multi-world saver hero to a stupid soldier on a stupid war, who takes orders from a stupid leader.
Frosttounge hungers for more content
If sargeras would be at our side that's mean Illidan could treat us as a enemy and we would get BT2
17:19.... he's wrong about the Pit Lords.... or the Annihilans... when Sargeras fought the demons... they were led by Pit Lords who all fought each other to in fights to the death over ruling the sect of demons that left the Dark Below. These demons were more chaotic in nature and were thrown out of the Dark Below and the original leader or leaders of the Legion were Pit Lords that Sargeras and his kin defeated and eventually imprisoned on Mardum.
Eventually Sargeras would split a planet in half cleaving a brethren in two killing it while it slept seeing what darkness awaited his kin and was chastised by his people for doing so saying they could've saved their kin and Sargeras would eventually be exiled and after being exiled he would come back to cut down his own kin as they would stop him in his conquest where he would go and cleave the chains binding the demons on Mardum (which I kind of skipped the part in explaining why they were imprisoned here, it was because they kept resurrecting in the Twisting Nether so to stop that they bound them to the planet of Mardum) freeing them from the bindings and claiming leadership of the demons. They would come across countless races that would turn such as those spider people demons that would join them willingly and another race that canonically was so strong of a single race.... they were destroying the Legion and even began to hunt them until Sargeras realized they weren't gonna be able to be converted and they were to strong to just sic his legion on so he came in person to cleave their world, but before actually doing so their king would manage to leave a scar on Sargeras only enraging him to the point he felt nothing after cleaving the planet in two killing them and forcing him to put his invasions on halt until his legion could rebuild their physical forms.
Which after all this, it begs the question... where does the demons and the Demon Lords of the Dark Below fit in the cosmic struggle?
They should have had shungite all around la casa to not attract fel energys
Bald = Justice
Giant shoulder pads and very thin mustaches are a dangerous magic.
Damn, lore of Demons get retconned a lot.
As i know first lore was that Sargeras fought Demons but during this eons lasting battle, Dread Lords whispers eventually drove him mad and he became leader of Demons.
Second was that Sargeras fought Demon armies but saw these battles as useless as Demons would just keep coming as endless horde and that drove him to lead them.
Third: He fought against threatening Demon armies led by their Demon Generals until he saw Voids danger and led Demons to eradicate all life to destroy Void (or something like that).
Fourth: This one where....for some reason Sargeras was needed to....fight armies of weak, stupid Demons...? Umh, i think i need more explaining for this one, at least previous ones sounded organized.
Orginally, Sargareas was the warrior among them, he fault the Demons. He contained the Demons on a world but he was slowly driven mad.
After the Void was made a thing, it was that the Dreadlords revealed to him the Old Gods and what they were doing that led to him creating the Burning Legion to wipe out all life to defeat the Void.
That’s the only real change.
Alright, so during wc3 we free illidan from his prison right? Now hes acting as sargies warden. What if we end up doing the same thing as a twist of irony to deal with the void lords. Like azeroth hatches and is fine and there is no reason for sargareas to try to kill her.
So Arcamond is Guldan but a goat?
The Rock says know your roll! lol
it feels so much Legion stuff in WoW and 1% Void.. I wanna see a real Void Lord once and not only fragments
Problem with that is the Void Lords can’t really leave the Void proper, and if they could everything will die. The Titans are not on the same level as the Void Lords
The Lichking is not only Legions Fault, the Jalior have also did is Part 2 get the Legion 2 that what they are allone the Nathrezim for Exaple be Part of the Comsic Froce of Death and be Created by Daddy Senpai Denathrius so the Legions bad is it not at all its also the Fault of the "Masterplan" from the Jalior ^^
Have a great day
Well Sargeras did not lie to them tho - they did become Legion, they did become more powerful and their goal was to fight the Void. So he did not really trick them :). And yeah sure he will come back, when they make a Void invasion expansion, at some point they just let him go and he will just go after the Voidlords since that is his goal anyway. I mean if WoW will live long enough till Void exp come (since that is prob the last expansion if it invols corruption Azeroth and fighting her since that will pretty much destroy the world winning or losing :).
Forget Sonic, this is all Harry Potter. The emeralds are horcruxes and KJ carries one that affects him like in HP also.
Is this why Draenei cannot be Warlocks?
Probably would kill them on sight if they tried.
At least blizzard is staying consistent there.
Their entire race was enslaved and corrupted by demonic hordes so it'd naturally be a big no no. Like how Tyrande outlawed the study of arcane magic after the war of the ancients
@@GearShotgun not sure when they became available but is there a lore reason why we have night elf mages now? That combo really bothers me because like you said it was outlawed
@@quinn562 night elves mages happened in cataclysm along some other new race/class combos like dwarf/shaman and tauren/paladin. I'm not sure what the lore reason for them loosening the rules waa though. I cant imagine tyrande just letting up out of the blue after all that time.
The seven Cristals are the symbolic of the Plejades ( seven sisters)
Betcha the sword was to stab C'thun.
& Instead just busted open his prison.
