Makes you wonder why mass infantry formations are still used in warfare within universe if such devastating area of effect spells are a thing or atleast why no army seems to NEVER try and employ shielding magic or try to dispel enemy magic with y'know their own magic users to protect their warriors and or soldiers from getting annihilated. It's weird the supposedly intelligent trolls that have shown to have magically proficient members of their societies didn't seem to have ANY sort of protection for their forces against the magically powerful elves and their human allies which makes me question how the trolls were such a legitimate threat to the elves in the first place and even the humans. No one seems to learn anything within universe and stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the power of magic and NEVER adapt to it nor embrace its abundant usefulness, they don't use such awsome powers to their fullest potential nor use it intelligently.
@@navilluscire2567 You can't say none are deploying shielding magic. You can see lightforged draenei forming light shields over Arom's stand in Kul Tiras for example. And in w3 belfs have literally a unit based on stealing magic from enemies called spell breakers. Trolls do use magical protection now and probably used even back then while fighting high elves. But their strength came more from the knowledge of the land, their massive numbers and Guerrilla warfare before the main attack. The reason they were so quickly defeated by human magic is, that a) they thought humans weren't able sorcerers, Thoradin kept their training in secret. b) they thought they are close to victory with their guard down and drunk with triumph c)Arcane magic cast by humans is far more explosive and volatile (for example, elven student can light a candle, elven master can burn down a house. Human student can burn down a house, human master can light a candle.) so trolls weren't prepared for so strong magical ambush. Btw I do not seem to recall much magical forest troll prowess. They are mostly non magic fighters and few priests, that are greatly dependant on their loa. To consideration must also be taken, that this conflict happened more around 3000 years before the opening of the Dark portal, so there is great difference between magical studies then and now.
16:55 : Just wanted to say that the Battle for Stromgarde was won by the Alliance in BFA, Danath Trollbane and the League of Arathor now control Arathi and Danath became king
I love how much personality he brought to these characters, it really made me feel more invested in the history. Gave an audible "fuck ya" when the trolls got BBQed.
His mannerisms and way of speaking made him seem like he was ripped right out of one of Nixxiom's old warcraft machinimas. It was a lovely nostalgia trip to be honest!
@@so_qp the oldest azeroth race is actually the trolls. and night elves are the second oldest. Night elves evolved from trolls that lived near the well of eternity.
@@real4o I mean sure, we could say that, but it probably wouldn't be accurate. I never said you were the only person in the world who didn't know. I feel you're pulling pretty heavily towards extremes, here.
I seemed to recall Ignaeus Trollbane was the head of the Trollbane family when the humans all left to form new kingdoms. His family and a few others remained in Strom and renamed it Stromgarde.
After reflection, i prefer be a scufed vykrul rather than a scufed mecagnome or a better troll ( wich mean better at being a looser probably ? like loosing a tree, loosing war against bug, made the world explode, etc. ). I feel fine as human.
So glad I started watching your channel a few weeks ago, and I regret not watching sooner. I enjoy both your lore knowledge and your entertaining twist of events!
This video made my day. It makes me want to take a deep dive into the lore again. I don’t like how the game plays nowadays but I’d play it again to experience these quests for the lore
It still annoys the hell outta me we can't play human shamans and druids. It is physically possible, it exists within the history of lore, but because 'most people these days' don't adhere to those ways of life - we're automatically locked out of it.
@@heartoffire5902 I think it is more for the sake of balance. Because with that Humans would have every class available to them. Giving Druid and Shaman to Kul Tirans is a compromise.
@@aureliodeprimus8018 I recognize that. But Trolls and Dwarves have every single class except for one (aside from Demon Hunter). Humans have every class but two (and Demon Hunter). They can afford to give one more class to humans. Not to mention the fact that Blood Elves have access to Demon Hunter *and* all but two classes.
@@aureliodeprimus8018 And to balance it out, give one more class to one of the Horde races. They do racial class access updates sometimes. It happens. They add to and reintroduce lore to gameplay all the time.
Don't remember the Trials of Tyr from the Legion Artifact Books. I thought he recruited the overly religious humans of Tirisfal by promising to make the Light into the only religion of his united kingdom.
Can I just say that I don't even play WoW anymore and I still watch your videos, the quality is insane. Keep doing what you do my friend, love your content
Oh my gosh, the quality of your videos improved dramatically! I'm really amazed! And I liked that you put the trolls "headhunting" the Tirisfal guys hahahahahaha Keep up with the excellent work, champion!
@@hydromancer4916 I agree. I think they took the lore a lil too far too fast. Putting players on the level of titans and stuff. Remember doing the quests in classic, like "the platinum discs" I never thought I would see uldum, let alone meet and destroy the actual gods.
@@ch-arts-us The fastest way to ruin your franchise's story is to give it an MMO. Eventually, every villain will have to be killed, and every facet of the universe will have to be explained, simply out of a need for new content.
@@hydromancer4916 Yea and its so interesting because the only way you can have a successful MMO is with a great story that people are invested in. Weird. Its like the bloom and doom of a narrative.
Your character is the most important guy in wow history. He took part in the biggest events in wow. He saved the Titans, the world multiple times, killed The Jailer, rescued guys trapped in Death, fought Odin and Deathwings... and probably murdered to death thousands of enemies. He also killed Hogger.
My favourite TH-camr right now. So much quality in your videos, entertaining from start to finish. Hell, I thought this story was really boring until you covered it! Looking forward to your next video!
I mean yeah but with more of a warcraft flare. Its a time in Azeroth that is unexplored so it would give the writers some freedoms and not stray to far from the lore.
would have been hilarious if that were the case. any troll warrior couldnt use their artifact weapon because it debuffed them with an undispellable fear every time they equipped it. now thats what I call a troll weapon.
It's what happens when you fight multiple wars vs 7ft tall roided orcs and your own people afflicted with undeath. Humans are just scraping by to survive in WoW lmao
Yeah the Orcs kicked them so hard in the balls that they are still recoiling to this day, they'll probably get their act together at some point but probably not with their current king.
"Smith me a crowwwwwwwwwwwwwn!" I love how you present the story in a digestible and humorous way. This time period of WoW is so much more engaging than anything they're doing now. Anything right up through Wrath of the Lich King is good. Then it just nosedives.
Platinum, I really appreciate your content, I have become more busy over the years and haven’t been able to play WoW, but I feel I can get my WoW itch scratched with your content. Keep up the good work.
Great video! Love the layouts of the maps, especially with the color differences showing advancements and retreats. Kept me from start to finish. Good stuff.

Is it on purpose that you made him in the end take the Atilla the hun position? This story seems like a mix of atilla and temudschin
more troll lore videos please there are still so many sub troll tribes and what about the dark spears? A video, please, to link the loose ends.
The curse transform them into bald asmongold
I love that he’s cool with a troll getting his weapon. Like the express purpose of it was to kill trolls.
A troll can kill trolls either.
Canonically, Trolls are GREAT at troll killing
They do have an unparalleled amount of field experience in killing each other, to be fair
Who do you think has the highest troll kill count? The trolls obviously
@@seancampbell6292 😄 now you're just trolling
I just realized the three of them represent the 3 warrior specs:
Ignaeus: Fury
Thoradin: Arms
Lordain: Protection
Oh yeah took me ages to notice
Lol i didn't notice till it was pointed out
Fitting how the follower of the one-handed Titan Tyr improvised by wielding 2-handed Weapons in one hand
Yeah and arms is superior as always.
when thoradin killed those 10 trolls alone -> BLAAAAAAADESTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORM
When he started talking about who has Strom'kar now, I thought the joke was gonna be that it's a troll.
Same
My troll warrior got it lol
Admittedly, it's pretty badass for a Troll Warrior to have Strom'kar. Literally wielding the sword that was built to kill you.
@@kylewinterblade that is pretty damn chad
@@kylewinterblade really chadlike
We should have an alternate universe where humans invade draenor
Ooh that would be interesting actually.
Well they do have a lot of oil there, so not too far fetched
We will take the Dreanei women!
Actually Pog, then we can have an excuse to play as shaman humans, BECAUSE THEY CAME FROM DREANOR
why would they want to invade draenor? draenor was pile of shit at this point because of demons
Troll Warriors in Legion: “Why do I have a bad feeling about this sword?”
Yeah that kinda stings. Would have been cool if Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds, was the hidden apperance. Give the trolls some love.
“Suck on this Thoradin! A troll owns your blade now!”
Yeah kinda sucks that this legacy blade of the human race can be owned by anyone, including trolls of the horde
It should’ve been the Axe of Cenarius
Long story short:
A humble gamer by the name 'The God Emperor of Mankind' roles Arms in Vanilla.
Nice
Lmfao
And he will abduct every opponent he fought that deem worthy under his golden banana guild.
True.
So Stormwind soldiers are essentially imperial guard?
Honestly one of the most well done lore videos I’ve seen. Platinum uses a perfect mix of humor and straight facts
Man these AOE Mages really need a nerf
Mages are the protagonist of the wow universe that and maybe the odd shaman/warrior.
The mages are Warcraft's version of the Manhattan project.

"Well shit"
16:55 : Just wanted to say that the Battle for Stromgarde was won by the Alliance in BFA, Danath Trollbane and the League of Arathor now control Arathi and Danath became king
He didn’t become king, just Lord of Stromgarde. More titular than anything since his uncle was the last true king but the sentiment is the same.
Get a life dude

Racist.
Cringe
Dude the amount of work you put into these is insane and I can see that, keep doing you man I love you you’re videos man it gives me good spirit
The Tirisfall leader really reminds me of a Nixxiom character.
OHHHH! Ishnu-Alah, weary King!
He sounds a little like Sheldon from Big Bang theory.
His mannerisms and way of speaking made him seem like he was ripped right out of one of Nixxiom's old warcraft machinimas. It was a lovely nostalgia trip to be honest!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIASH'NUUUU ALAAAaaaaaahhh~
Your animation is getting hella better. That being said. Show me a story about the cow people
Taurens (Yangol) is probably the oldest azeroth race and thier early history is pretty much unknown
@@so_qp how does cow talk and walk. Is needed
@@so_qp the oldest azeroth race is actually the trolls. and night elves are the second oldest. Night elves evolved from trolls that lived near the well of eternity.
@@digitalraider I said probably.... i didnot said they were on azeroth before trolls

No, the Old Gods' minions are.
"That is Igneus, he doesn't talk much."
Igneus: *Flexgrunt*
Also Igneus:*guttural laugh*
That part with the roll downhill was so smoothly done dude. Best wow content channel out there
Wait, the Kyrian didn't even pull the axes out of Lordane's face? Are we certain they're the good guys?
It's okay. When they're done with him, he won't even remember that they're there.
Probably Maldraxxian
They are probably maldraxxian, because they were noble warriors
This is so important part of the lore and we didn't know anything about it. Thanks for the vid dude. I wish it was longer with more details
"We"? I think you mean YOU didn't know anything about it, there were already plenty of people who did... You are just yourself, bro. ^^
@@Lewzyd not everyone are nerd like you bro
@@real4o And not everyone was unaware of this part of the lore, either. My argument remains the same. Speak for yourself.
@@Lewzyd dude, lets say 90% of the fans knows about this, other 10% are still we. I cant be the only person in the world that didn't know about this 😀
@@real4o I mean sure, we could say that, but it probably wouldn't be accurate. I never said you were the only person in the world who didn't know. I feel you're pulling pretty heavily towards extremes, here.
I love the fact that whenever trolls are talking, Platinum WoW added the Tiki Mask voice lines, they look so damn funny 😂
you have swiftly become the channel that gets me the most excited with new videos.
edit: and this one is fucking fantastic as usual, hot damn
I seemed to recall Ignaeus Trollbane was the head of the Trollbane family when the humans all left to form new kingdoms. His family and a few others remained in Strom and renamed it Stromgarde.
Okay that Machinma fight scene was AMAZING
This video about to become suuuuper relevant in the war within and beyond, glad I tripped over it!
This should be a Netflix series.
Your content is so ridiculously high quality, I'm often in awe watching these videos
I can't express enough how much I'm enjoying these lore videos, great mixture of info and humour in a really easy to digest format
After reflection, i prefer be a scufed vykrul rather than a scufed mecagnome or a better troll ( wich mean better at being a looser probably ? like loosing a tree, loosing war against bug, made the world explode, etc. ). I feel fine as human.
"I've been waiting for this one..."
Yo when the trolls started speaking pygmy around 9:35 I almost fell outta my chair lmao
Lordane's voice being muffled by axes in the afterlife made me LOL, but the entire video was extremely well done. Kudos!
A moment of silence for the forgotten weapon, Trol'kalar.
isnt that the sword galen used in the death knight campaign?
@@SlayerHankgaming Yes, it was originally wielded by Ignaeus. He did not dual wield axes as shown in this video.
The animated fights make these lore videos ten times cooler. We appreciate your effort.
God, please let this channel grow to 1 million subs. It deserves it.
