A follow up to this should be "Top ten characters we should have met in Shadowlands". Blizzard started that train with Vashj, Drakka, Uther, and Kael'thas, but it feels like they totally forgot just how many characters have died over the years. We could have had Tiffan Wrynn in Bastion help us free Anduin, Tharissan in Maldraxxus apologize for his work in freeing Ragnaros, Valstann Staghelm dealing with his dads sins in Ardenweald, and Benedictus being one of the souls we confront in Revendreth. Hell, its would have been amazing if we had Gul'dan help us sneak around the Maw instead of Ve'nari. Worse still is Blizz is totally going to write their absence off as "there are infinity realms in the Shadowlands their souls could exist in". I honestly could care less about what kind of lore blunders Blizz did with Shadowlands, but I really hate missed potential in a situation like this
I didn't like demystifying the afterlife anyhow. I still lean on the idea it looks like it does because our characters' memories are influencing how we see things. Rather than stealing cresit for the Nerubian based scourge architecture and giving it to Maldraxus or whatever, we see Scourge architecture because that's what our not truly dead minds can comprehend.
I want to see Ner'zul, now free from the Jailer, become the new Lord of Torghast and start locating, bringing together and reviving the dead characters to face some great threat.
While i agree, my personal pet peeve with his storyline is how hypocritical his retainers are. There was a quest, where you collect diaries documenting what happened and it is implied, that they exactly knew what happened. They hated him, because he put trust in one wrong person, who told Azshara everything. It was Azsharas decision to blow up the entire court, when she simply could punish just him instead.
@@aureliodeprimus8018 I don't think they knew. The thing is most Night Elves at the time of the war of the Ancients did not realise that Azshara was actually at the core of the Legion's invasions. They believed Farondis had betrayed them by virtue of betraying Azshara, and that her punishment of him was just, but they had just been caught by his actions and were completely blameless in it. I don't think his retainers fully realised the truth until the naga invaded Azsuna during Legion.
@@aureliodeprimus8018 Although, now that I think on it you also made a fair point. This is a thing that has bothered me a while. Night elves are peak hypocrite. For one, they refused for the longest time to accept Azshara was the source of the bad stuff happening in the War of the Ancients. I believe early on even Malfurion was willingly oblivious to that point. Then they decided that the Well of Eternity was to blame, and so was all arcane magic. That led to the Well's destruction and the Great Sundering. And when Illidan recreated the Well, Malfurion was pissed, branded him the Betrayer and ordered him imprisoned for all eternity. Then, he arguably couldn't destroy the second Well without risking the world's integrity, so he covered it up with the World Tree. Then, and after he banished the Highborne for refusing the ban on arcane magic, the night elves decided the Well of Eternity was OK so they spread the its waters in their Moonwells, and used its power anyways. Then, they pardoned all of the night elven Highborne from the Shen'dralar in the Cataclysm, but still did not punish Maiev for assassinating Kaldorei citizens when she went on a rampage the same way they punished Illidan for creating the source of magic the Night Elves themselves now used. Then, come Legion, when the world learns that the Suramar Highborne yet lived, and fell victim to the Legion but were fighting for freedom, Tyrande offers them help but only after she lords over how corrupt their magic was and how they were never different from the demons, ignoring the fact that it was the Suramar Highborne that devised the plan to use the Pillars of Creation to seal off the gate in the Temple of Elune during the War of the Ancients, saving the Kaldorei resisitance and allowing Malfurion his chance to even attempt to destroy the Well of Eternity. And Farondis had come to the conclusion that was necessary before it even occurred to Malfurion. After the War of the Ancients, while the exiled Highborne found a way to safely use arcane magic without damaging the barrier between worlds and causing the demons to spill into Azeroth, actively worked to make the world a better place (pushing the barbaric and cruel Amani into Zul Aman and letting the human communities to thrive, then teaching them magic and then setting up the Council of Tirisfal that fought the demons for 5000 years or so), the night elves frolicked in the forests and their "mighty druids, guardians of Azeroth" took a very long nap. Very long-winded, and quite off the topic, but I just wanted to get that rant out of my chest because I've been bothered by this for quite a while XD
@@violetblues1768 You can talk to him and learn a bit of his lore inside the Uldaman instance, I think. Maybe he stands outside too, but I can't recall, haven't run Badlands in a long time.
I remember when I was first reading Vol'jin's book, wondering why there was some random human character. By the end, I wanted more Tyrathan and was so sad they never really did anything with him. (I was glad he showed up at the funeral, at least.)
He’s briefly given amusing dialogue in the Valeera Book o’ Heroes in Hearthstone…but it doesn’t go beyond like two chapters. He should be on the shortlist for Druid hero portraits at this point.
Someone mentioned his hearthstone appearances, he also gets a small feature in the latter half of Malfurion’s book of heroes too. I would like to see him become an alternate druid hero, or at least be added as a card. Maybe along with some cool bear related cards, or emerald dream ones.
Cmon, Hiru. It's not a shame that warlock-specific content can be experienced by warlocks alone. It's a shame that class-directed content does not exist outside of Legion.
I loved this one so much!! I remember the first time I encountered Murmur in mid TBC. Pushing through the trash mobs that were getting blasted back by him, slowly making our way closer and getting ready for a big fight. One of my favorite dungeon encounters.
Oh heck imagine if the Blizzard writers actually remember Lirath and bring him back in Shadowlands. He's Sylvanas' dead brother and the game takes place in the afterlife, come on.
If Blizzard has to pay homage to every bub who ever died in this franchise, we'd be playing this well into 2035. Who cares about the obscure Windrunner brother what died in lore twenty years ago? Let them characterise Kael, Vashj and Alexandros decently, fuck the minor characters.
@@archvaldor especially with Jaina being in the Shadowlands and she still didnt meet Kael. Would love to see them talk Or Jaina and Uther For those who doesn‘t know Kael had a total crush on Jaina when they bith studied in Dalaran And Uther.. Ah fuck it, everyone knows Uther and Jaina were besties.
I was confused the first time I reached Murmur all those years ago. I had no context, all I thought was that the local warlocks were trying to kill the local ragnaros but I did not understand what it was doing in a draenei toumb and I was kinda disappointed to see him killed just like that by a loosy team of adventurers.
Murmur is to this day one of my favorite lesser-known lore characters. Sometimes when I'm bored I read flavor texts for random dungeon/raid bosses so when I read Murmur's I thought it was pretty stupid that the ESSENCE OF SOUND (or at least a powerful sound elemental) was simply a dungeon boss.
Murmur can't be a major villain, it has no mind. It would be boring. At best it can be a "living weapon" of a future major villain. Also it was weak after being contained for years by Shadow Council, which is why I think is why we killed it so easily. More importanty, character that deserves more screen time the most would be Krasus/Korialstrasz. Consort of Alexstrasza the Life-binder, fought in the War of the Ancients TWICE (he was doing Caverns of Times instances before they were a thing :P), helped establish both Quel'thalas and Dalaran, saved the latter from Sintharia, helped free the red dragons from the Old Horde's control, hid the Sunwell's power from the Scourge, stopped Sintharia and her "twilight dragons project", and had been alluded to helping save Azeroth a few other times as well. Then when the time came with Wrath of the Lich King for him to finally appear... we got him standing beside Alexstrasza and give out a few quests. Then he died in the novel early in Cataclysm :/ Hopefully with him being briefly mentioned in the Shadowlands, during the Night Fae campaign, we will see him again.
The issue is that WoW is a game where the players matter more than anything. Unless a cinematic starts, then fuck the players, we gotta have Thrall killing Garrosh. Plus, Krasus was immensely powerful, so it would have been made into a pushover at times just to ensure p l o t. Would be nice if he did get a little bit of justice, though.
Seeing as the villains with a mind end up just doing something generic anyway, a villain that is overwhelmingly powerful with no mind could actually be a breath of fresh air. While the conclusion would have to be some deus ex machina, until that point having a villain you can't actually hope to defeat and just have to survive and flee would be something very different, I think only The Lich King had some moments like this at some points during questlines and dungeons.
I think #1 should no doubt have been Korialstrasz / Krasus. Yes, seen in-game, but criminally underused considering he is at the heart of the plot in like 5 WoW novels.
Kanrethad had Jubeka promise to banish him if he started to be overcome by the corruption of the Fel energy. Which is why she is there to do just that.
Broll and Valeera as well as Rhegar need to show up together more often. The Night Elves also have many other characters that need screentime such as Lyalia from Krasarang.
Fun fact, "Murmur" is simply the french worde "Murmure" without the E. "Murmure"'s definition is a "quiet continuous sound of human voices." Which fits perfectly into the team of a sound elemental being able to destroy planets with his whispers.
@@oxilef8471 Yeah, it’s become a relatively obscure word these days. In fact, the heart condition is probably the only context it’s ever used in anymore.
@@Sanguivore The word is used a lot more in french, i didnt know that it was a english word too, guess i learn something every day ! I still think its a really cool name for a sound elemental this powerful.
Besides Gunther Arcanus, someone I wish had some more screen time( or relevance) on was Arathor, the Redeemer. He's one introduced too on TBC as "the lost son of Turalyon and Alleria", the only half elf/half human on lore and potencial strong paladin that is a random npc on TCB and paladin follower on legion + random npc on comeback of their parents. On BFA, Alleria and Turalyon had some deeds, while Arathor begone forgotten again. Anyways, (Actvision)Blizzard is good on creating some great caracters that can do great things at same time they had their "15 minutes of fame".
Prince Farondis will always be one of my fav questlines. Whenever I do the questline, I always tear up when he regains his honor after guards realize what he did so him and his people wouldn't bend the knee.
I can recall doing the Court of Farondis rep, and it occurred that they may have him join in the fight with Azshara. He’s have like… almost the position of being a champion with other big namers in addition to the players when it came to taking her on or eliminating her lieutenants, captain type followers.
i love this videos, great work hiru lirath's dead almost made alleria and turalyon split, she got obsessed by killing hordes and became cold, it wasn't until they went to draenor that she finally mourned and warmed up to turalyon again fter much fighting and khadgar working as a mediator XD, love those stories from the second war
I thought you were gonna mention Amber Kearnen one of the si:7 that helped in the rescue of anduin and a side quest in westfall. Her death in legion and mission was so important but no one knew she died. She is the reason why we knew mathias shaw was a dreadlord that was gonna burn stormwind from the inside and we rescued the real shaw in the process.
Man, I love Amber Kearnen. She’s such a cool character. EDIT: Oh, and let’s not forget she was also pretty heavily-featured in the early quests for Pandaria!
While her story was kinda lame in it's conclusion we DID get to get see A (shitty) conclusion and even a followup in Shadowlands to this (If you're a Rogue who did the Order Hall campaign you can talk to a Spider monster named Kearnen the Blade outside of the House of Eyes ruins and tell her the message was delivered successfully) which is a LOT better than a ton of other characters got.
Kanrethad the TRUE Warlock, and..is right i mean, he can even force summon and control a pitlord until we take that control for urselves while Gul'dan "ask" for help from the Legion demon's. For Murmur he has a little cameo on WoD on Talador where some random guys are trying to summon it.
Well, Gul'dan effortlessly summoned three extremely powerful demons at once with his Hand of Gul'dan spell, in part because he did not need to bind them. Kanrethad needed complex rituals to summon and bind just one. It's no secret that big boy Gul'dan is peak warlock, do not do him dirty by saying Kanrethad is better.
@@moscanaveia The "problem" is that we dont really many "feats" by Gul'dan itself (probably just raising the Tomb by some ritual) because everytime he summon a demon was a "help request" for the Legion while Kanrethad would force them to be summoned and linked to his will.
@@darthnihilus1572 I mean yeah, that's also because warlocks often aren't part of the legion. If you are, you're already bound by allegience there and don't need to forcefully command them.
I'm sorry Hiru but a top 10 isn't enough xD You need to make a series out of this. I was expecting Nazgrel to be in this list. I also think it's sad that neither Lothar nor Doomhammer appear in Shadowlands. I 100% agree on Murmur, though. It seemed like a super cool concept and we just deal with him in a dungeon xD
Gryan Stoutmantle I enjoyed serving under him during Vanilla and Cataclysm, it was surprise to see him in the Paladin Orderhall I thought he was more of a warrior class.
nah its actually the full murmur, just weakened by the wards. backed up in chronicle volume 2 where they speak a bit about him, and never mention hes a fragment.
Maybe I missed it, but you skirted right over the fact that Murmur as he appears in TBC is a tiny, fragmented incarnation of his true being. That's how they justified us being able to beat him, because we were fighting him at less than 1% of his full power.
100% agree with Vandel. William King brought a maturity and grittiness to the Warcraft universe that other writers just can't hope to match. Christie Golden's Lich King novel read like it might as well have been taking place in a high school.
The Reliquary actually had a role in the Hearthstone Expansion, Saviors of Uldum... But they're treated like: "The Explorer's League and the League of E.V.I.L. are on a race to unearth the very tool to raise Galakrond back from the dead... Oh and uh... *reads smudge from paper* The Reliquary is also there..." You have a chance to encounter Belloc Brightblade as a boss in the adventure and can end your run if build your deck around a specific type You know for an expansion centered around evil people doing archeological digs and fighting dwarf Indiana Jones, I'm surprised that Rafaam didn't ally with the Reliquary...
Being the belf my first charater ever created even before worgens or lately nightborne main, it touchs my heart disocvering the Reliquary is treated as a side old faction willing to help horde or their race with archaelogy, rather than exploited comedy Expeditionary League that still is fun, but feels like Indiana JOnes vs Nazis supersoldiers/archeo genius. Maybe we can see more or then in the enxt expansion covering dragons relics.
Given that the Explorers League act pretty neutral most of the time, they make more sense as the quest faction because they're not aiming to increase the Alliances power, but rather uncover history.
Lirath gets some good coverage in the Sylvanas novel. Probably wasn’t out at the time of this video. But given he was dead before current WoW timeline, there isn’t much they could do with it I suppose.
I’m pretty sure tae’thalan is present in mists on the isle of thunder? Or at least some of the reliquary. Also they are in the cataclysm version of the blasted lands. And draenor as well, in ashran the reliquary is heading horde’s excavations there, and I think tae’thalan’s daughter is working with the Nightborne and the reliquary in zuldazar. I think there were some appearances of the reliquary in other parts of bfa too, like the archaeology trainer in dazar’alor
Murmur was never confirmed to actually be this powerful tho, the lore about him is written by ingame characters, so the information could be false. And knowing blizzard it probably is, unless they intend to bring Murmur into the shadowlands to deal with the jailer or something xD
I think one character who deserved more screen time would be Dar’Khan Drathir. He was an old friend of Lor’themar and Liadrin, as well as a Magister. However he felt he was not getting the recognization he deserved from High Elven society. He also experimented with void magic and his discoveries eventually lead to the creation of the Void Elves. Dar’Khan is the one who let the Scourge into Quel’Thalas. He murdered the Convocation of Silvermoon (high ranking elves who ruled alongside the king) and took down the shield that was protecting the kingdom. He also died many times but kept coming back. It’s a shame that someone like him didn’t have much screen time during the Blood elves questline in Burning Crusade. He’s just a mini boss and you have to take his head to Lor’themar. When I first played Blood Elf, I had no clue who Dar’Khan was and why everyone seemed to hate him. Turned out he’s the reason Quel’Thalas and the elves got fucked up by Arthas.
I always had a personal theory that Lirath Windrunner should of been today's Forsaken representation instead of Calia Menethil. That is a character who would of have a different view of what being undead means in opposition to Sylvanas' views, even feeling alienated to his other sisters who loath the undead as they were alive during the scourge unlike him. Legion would of been a good introduction to bring him back even with a minor role, yes even back from the dead (like that matters for forsaken), and BFA would of been the right moment to show his opposition to Sylvanas. Instead, that role was given to Calia, a character that also barely had any lore mentions except in books where they were featured in the background somewhere but unlike Lirath has no connection to Sylvanas except that they are both undead.
The problem with that is that lirath have nothing to do with lordaeron that is the reason why they picked Calia. Calia is the queen/royal of lordaeron even undead respected her. Now i dont like they turned Calia into a light undead that literally have no sense if they want to do her a faction leader (also Jaina's brother) cuz she is friendly to alliance but for a dumb pvp thing is forcing her attack the alliance. I think Voss would be a better choice for it even if Voss hate being in the horde (her own words) because she hates humans more.
@@sorrowday838 Sure that was true when WoW just started but now not all forsaken are even from lordaeron. Are the Gilneans? Are the elves from Quel'thalas? And then you got forsaken territories outside of Lordaeron as well. Should they all accept a queen pretty much imposed by non-forsaken people?
@@sorrowday838 Also not so related but I thought that the lordaeron council was going to be a replacement for Sylvanas but it seems blizzard decided to off them in the beginning of BFA. Too bad, cause there are a lot of potential forsaken lore characters that could take the seats of those positions. Maybe even make each seats a different forsaken theme (apothecary, military, cult of shadow, navy, etc...)
@@bradypus55 no elves from lordaeron are part of forsaken maybe now nelfs from teldrassil( again odd they join them even they were the ones who kill them) and gilneans recognize Calia as a princess so their forsaken could also do it. Another good/bad could be the sylvannas doggo that aside sylvannas had lore and position to command but we killed him so gg. The huge problem with forsaken is that beside sylvanas we know no undead horde that could leader them
@@sorrowday838 Then maybe they don't need a leader and should just follow a council system like the Horde is doing right now. Seems much more logical then a person who came out of nowhere till recently. I mean Calia has been undead for very much shorter then Sylvanas has been leader. Why would the forsaken now all of a sudden care about royal lineage? Seriously, how can Calia even continue the lineage as an undead?
Would like to see Medivh as a major character in the future, maybe whenever they do the war between the two major cosmic forces. Considering he is the person who's responsible for the events that kicked off this franchise Im surprised we didn't have more content about him in legion. Though now that I think about it, I have no idea if he's actually dead or not. I think you see his ghost in kharazan, but at the same time he doesn't seem dead in that one Warcraft cutscene.
At 3:19 you get 2 black bars cinema-style and NPC dialogue goes into a subtitle format. Looks fantastic! Is that an addon? If so, pls tell me which so I can get it
Farondis's story's closure was pretty much him getting redeemed in the eyes of his people. It's decently done and finished, but they will never follow up on it. Why? Because it is too much of a local story, and they prefer doing epic battle moments with overepicness overload.
I think the bigger issue is that Farondis is another Night Elf character that should have been involved with Azshara raid but wasn’t. Still blows my mind how little the night elves were involved with that
Broll sounds a lot like Fendral Staghelm in terms of backstory. I wonder if they put some of the plans for Fendral onto him after everybody hated Fendral.
Considering how many cool characters there are in Warcraft lore, it feels like the content creators handle things like hollyweird directors and writers sometimes when it comes to video game movie adaptations and just do what they want, not what they know will make fans truly happy.
Rachel got a job and so she cant do art anymore, and the villains corners did not preform very well, especially for the massive cost to commission all the artwork for them.
My heart breaks that we didn't get to see Liam Greymane at all in Shadowlands. Gilneas and the Worgen have gotten such the shaft ever since they were introduced
You should do a video on top bosses based on a playable class. My personal choice would be for Jade Fire Masters, the battle of dazaralor mage-monk combo
Vandel is also in Mardum, the Shattered Abyss which is the Demon Hunter starting area. It's been a while since I levelled a DH so I can't say for sure but I'm pretty sure he just sits there, doesn't even give quests.
"Murmur is kind of a push over" Granted Murmur starts the encounter at half health because the Shadow Council forces had basically been beating on it and holding it back before you arrive. At full health he would have rivaled a raid boss.
Prince Farondis totally refusing to simp "queen" Azshara til the end, even when she promised to lift the curse. Absolute chad. People should take example. What a kind but savage dude he is.
Funny my friend made his first WoW Character in vanilla it was a Human Warlock named Dyne. He wanted to give him a last name and went with Ebonlock after liking the lore in Duskwood.and wrote a back story for him. Years later almost same thing happened in actual WoW...
in WoD, Murmur was being summoned on purpose, but we interrupted the process, meaning, the rogue group of Shadow council members, infiltrated Auch and used the ritual to "accidently" summon him, but since we interrupt the ritual before they could do this, Teron'gor succeeds in what he was doing.
What about Senegos and for that matter the entirety of the Azurewing Brood from Legion? Senegos, now with the death of Ysera now is currently the 3rd oldest Dragon alive in WoW and presumably the 3rd most powerful now that the aspects are no longer empowered, elder to even the current representative of the Blue Dragonflight Kalecgos. One of Senegos' pissed quotes is "I can use my Frost Breath more than 3 times a day", a reference to D&D where dragons can only use elemental breath attacks 3 times / day implying that Senegos is presumably extremely powerful if he can pull off a feat that even the most elder of dragons can not in the source reference, while a throwaway line it could paint a picture. In the BFA expansion when we had that whole arc about empowering the Heart of Azeroth with Dragon energy we just kinda used Kalec for our blue infinity stone and didn't think much more of it even though Senegos is presumably , if not more powerful then older than Kalec. There was even that questline in Legion where his daughter Stellagossa struck up a friendship with Arcanist Valtrois and the rest of the Nightborne who was valued for her ability to see Ley Lines naturally without the use of cumbersome tools which the Nightborne rely on greatly for almost all aspects of their life. Even when the Tidestone was brought back to the forefront of the story in Nazjatar, an artifact that Senegos helped point us towards it's current location in Legion after literally countless thousands of years of it being lost he just kinda said "yea it's over there". And ever since then the Azurewings have been locked to Legion and all we have to show for it is 3 Emmigossa battle pets that are just a bad version of Lil Tarecgosa and a now depowered artifact weapon that Senegos helped us empower, a feat that Kalecgos couldn't accomplish on his own, all of this with no reference or throwaway line to any of them ever since, not from the Nightborne nor Kalec himself.
@@RazanaArcclaw His questline I loved and his fight in BT was one of my favorite raid fights of that expansion. I despise the way they used him In WoD, His main universe self is way more awesome than his Alternate self (yuck...)
@@prehistoricplayer1132 What was wrong with his AU version. He always was an Orc Warlock, just in the main universe he was killed and his soulstone was placed into a truncheon which was placed in the hand of a fallen Stormwind footmen and that is what led to him becoming the first Death Knight.

For what I remember of TBC what players fight into the SL is a projection of Mur Mur onto Azeroth cause the summoning was interrupted. So technically it’s alive and the players just return the projection to its dimension, similar to Ragnaros in Vanilla. This is also underlined bu the fact that Mur Mur life starts at 40% so it’s in a weakened state.

Farondis was a great character.
His arc is complete though. I'd love to see a small RIP arc for him and his Court, they more than earned it.
While i agree, my personal pet peeve with his storyline is how hypocritical his retainers are. There was a quest, where you collect diaries documenting what happened and it is implied, that they exactly knew what happened. They hated him, because he put trust in one wrong person, who told Azshara everything. It was Azsharas decision to blow up the entire court, when she simply could punish just him instead.
@@aureliodeprimus8018 I don't think they knew. The thing is most Night Elves at the time of the war of the Ancients did not realise that Azshara was actually at the core of the Legion's invasions. They believed Farondis had betrayed them by virtue of betraying Azshara, and that her punishment of him was just, but they had just been caught by his actions and were completely blameless in it. I don't think his retainers fully realised the truth until the naga invaded Azsuna during Legion.
@@moscanaveia You have a point there. Considering my personal contempt against hypocrites in general i may have a bias here.
@@aureliodeprimus8018 Although, now that I think on it you also made a fair point. This is a thing that has bothered me a while. Night elves are peak hypocrite. For one, they refused for the longest time to accept Azshara was the source of the bad stuff happening in the War of the Ancients. I believe early on even Malfurion was willingly oblivious to that point. Then they decided that the Well of Eternity was to blame, and so was all arcane magic.
That led to the Well's destruction and the Great Sundering. And when Illidan recreated the Well, Malfurion was pissed, branded him the Betrayer and ordered him imprisoned for all eternity. Then, he arguably couldn't destroy the second Well without risking the world's integrity, so he covered it up with the World Tree. Then, and after he banished the Highborne for refusing the ban on arcane magic, the night elves decided the Well of Eternity was OK so they spread the its waters in their Moonwells, and used its power anyways. Then, they pardoned all of the night elven Highborne from the Shen'dralar in the Cataclysm, but still did not punish Maiev for assassinating Kaldorei citizens when she went on a rampage the same way they punished Illidan for creating the source of magic the Night Elves themselves now used.
Then, come Legion, when the world learns that the Suramar Highborne yet lived, and fell victim to the Legion but were fighting for freedom, Tyrande offers them help but only after she lords over how corrupt their magic was and how they were never different from the demons, ignoring the fact that it was the Suramar Highborne that devised the plan to use the Pillars of Creation to seal off the gate in the Temple of Elune during the War of the Ancients, saving the Kaldorei resisitance and allowing Malfurion his chance to even attempt to destroy the Well of Eternity. And Farondis had come to the conclusion that was necessary before it even occurred to Malfurion.
After the War of the Ancients, while the exiled Highborne found a way to safely use arcane magic without damaging the barrier between worlds and causing the demons to spill into Azeroth, actively worked to make the world a better place (pushing the barbaric and cruel Amani into Zul Aman and letting the human communities to thrive, then teaching them magic and then setting up the Council of Tirisfal that fought the demons for 5000 years or so), the night elves frolicked in the forests and their "mighty druids, guardians of Azeroth" took a very long nap.

Well I know him but didn't know his background story. I thought he simply loves ordering people digging around.
@@violetblues1768 You can talk to him and learn a bit of his lore inside the Uldaman instance, I think. Maybe he stands outside too, but I can't recall, haven't run Badlands in a long time.
Had no clue he or the Reliquary existed until I was levelling a toon in the Badlands as Horde and got curious about it
I remember when I was first reading Vol'jin's book, wondering why there was some random human character. By the end, I wanted more Tyrathan and was so sad they never really did anything with him. (I was glad he showed up at the funeral, at least.)
I agree that Broll should've gotten more screen time. He's a fun character and I wish his relevance was extended beyond the novels.
He’s briefly given amusing dialogue in the Valeera Book o’ Heroes in Hearthstone…but it doesn’t go beyond like two chapters. He should be on the shortlist for Druid hero portraits at this point.
Someone mentioned his hearthstone appearances, he also gets a small feature in the latter half of Malfurion’s book of heroes too. I would like to see him become an alternate druid hero, or at least be added as a card. Maybe along with some cool bear related cards, or emerald dream ones.
He's basically reduced to a background character at this point
Cmon, Hiru. It's not a shame that warlock-specific content can be experienced by warlocks alone. It's a shame that class-directed content does not exist outside of Legion.
Well said.
I love how mop added so many characters that were forgotten later lol
Prior to meeting Murmur, the Shadow Council was constantly attacking it, so lore-wise, we hadn't fought Murmur at it's peak.
I loved this one so much!!
I remember the first time I encountered Murmur in mid TBC. Pushing through the trash mobs that were getting blasted back by him, slowly making our way closer and getting ready for a big fight.
One of my favorite dungeon encounters.
"Broll is a very special Night Elven Druid, *born* with antlers"
Broll's Mother: Why do I exist? Just to suffer?
So sad the amount of amazing charecters and creatures blizzard has made but refused to give the propper amount of screentime for.
The truly sad part is that if they do give them proper screen time they will ruin them.
Oh heck imagine if the Blizzard writers actually remember Lirath and bring him back in Shadowlands.
He's Sylvanas' dead brother and the game takes place in the afterlife, come on.
They're too obsessed with Anduin for that.
If Blizzard has to pay homage to every bub who ever died in this franchise, we'd be playing this well into 2035. Who cares about the obscure Windrunner brother what died in lore twenty years ago? Let them characterise Kael, Vashj and Alexandros decently, fuck the minor characters.
@@moscanaveia Yeah I feel like Kael just hasn't been featured enough in wow....we've barely had a glimpse of him so far....
@@archvaldor especially with Jaina being in the Shadowlands and she still didnt meet Kael.
Would love to see them talk
Or Jaina and Uther
For those who doesn‘t know
Kael had a total crush on Jaina when they bith studied in Dalaran
And Uther..
Ah fuck it, everyone knows Uther and Jaina were besties.
@@moscanaveia having a npc with a standard high elf saying few lines doesn't cost much, it's a world of warcraft, not an Avenger movie
I was confused the first time I reached Murmur all those years ago. I had no context, all I thought was that the local warlocks were trying to kill the local ragnaros but I did not understand what it was doing in a draenei toumb and I was kinda disappointed to see him killed just like that by a loosy team of adventurers.
LOVE Murmur... always glad to see him get some recognition
Murmur is to this day one of my favorite lesser-known lore characters. Sometimes when I'm bored I read flavor texts for random dungeon/raid bosses so when I read Murmur's I thought it was pretty stupid that the ESSENCE OF SOUND (or at least a powerful sound elemental) was simply a dungeon boss.
stan murmur
VaLEEra, the mixing on Alleria and Valeera got to me after the 20'th time.
Murmur can't be a major villain, it has no mind. It would be boring. At best it can be a "living weapon" of a future major villain. Also it was weak after being contained for years by Shadow Council, which is why I think is why we killed it so easily.
More importanty, character that deserves more screen time the most would be Krasus/Korialstrasz. Consort of Alexstrasza the Life-binder, fought in the War of the Ancients TWICE (he was doing Caverns of Times instances before they were a thing :P), helped establish both Quel'thalas and Dalaran, saved the latter from Sintharia, helped free the red dragons from the Old Horde's control, hid the Sunwell's power from the Scourge, stopped Sintharia and her "twilight dragons project", and had been alluded to helping save Azeroth a few other times as well. Then when the time came with Wrath of the Lich King for him to finally appear... we got him standing beside Alexstrasza and give out a few quests. Then he died in the novel early in Cataclysm :/
Hopefully with him being briefly mentioned in the Shadowlands, during the Night Fae campaign, we will see him again.
Just sounds like a lot of excuses to justify the lore team not giving a singly flying fuck
Krasus is one of my top 5 favorite characters ngl. Would adore to see him more in game
The issue is that WoW is a game where the players matter more than anything.
Unless a cinematic starts, then fuck the players, we gotta have Thrall killing Garrosh. Plus, Krasus was immensely powerful, so it would have been made into a pushover at times just to ensure p l o t. Would be nice if he did get a little bit of justice, though.
Seeing as the villains with a mind end up just doing something generic anyway, a villain that is overwhelmingly powerful with no mind could actually be a breath of fresh air. While the conclusion would have to be some deus ex machina, until that point having a villain you can't actually hope to defeat and just have to survive and flee would be something very different, I think only The Lich King had some moments like this at some points during questlines and dungeons.
I think #1 should no doubt have been Korialstrasz / Krasus. Yes, seen in-game, but criminally underused considering he is at the heart of the plot in like 5 WoW novels.
Hes dead. Died sligthly after the shattering
@@stickAran I'm aware, but he deserved more screen time, which was the prompt.
Well, that's just because he's an author avatar/self-insert type of thing.
Kanrethad had Jubeka promise to banish him if he started to be overcome by the corruption of the Fel energy. Which is why she is there to do just that.
The Reliquary also participated in the exploration of the Divine Bell during MoP if I remember 5.1 quest line right.
I'm a simple man, I just see someone talking about Kanrethad Ebonlocke and I smash the like button
Broll and Valeera as well as Rhegar need to show up together more often.
The Night Elves also have many other characters that need screentime such as Lyalia from Krasarang.
Fun fact, "Murmur" is simply the french worde "Murmure" without the E. "Murmure"'s definition is a "quiet continuous sound of human voices." Which fits perfectly into the team of a sound elemental being able to destroy planets with his whispers.
“Murmur” itself is also an English word with the same definition.
@@Sanguivore I didn't know that, when i googled "Murmur" it only gave me results for a heart sickness
@@oxilef8471 Yeah, it’s become a relatively obscure word these days. In fact, the heart condition is probably the only context it’s ever used in anymore.
@@Sanguivore The word is used a lot more in french, i didnt know that it was a english word too, guess i learn something every day !
I still think its a really cool name for a sound elemental this powerful.
@@oxilef8471 I agree with you completely, friend!
Wish we could’ve have seen Broxxigar in WoD.
Besides Gunther Arcanus, someone I wish had some more screen time( or relevance) on was Arathor, the Redeemer.
He's one introduced too on TBC as "the lost son of Turalyon and Alleria", the only half elf/half human on lore and potencial strong paladin that is a random npc on TCB and paladin follower on legion + random npc on comeback of their parents. On BFA, Alleria and Turalyon had some deeds, while Arathor begone forgotten again.
Anyways, (Actvision)Blizzard is good on creating some great caracters that can do great things at same time they had their "15 minutes of fame".
oh yeah that is a really good one
Prince Farondis will always be one of my fav questlines. Whenever I do the questline, I always tear up when he regains his honor after guards realize what he did so him and his people wouldn't bend the knee.
Same, also fun fact prince farondis has the same voice actor as saitama from the english dub in one punch man.
@@DustGamezX i havent seen anime in my life. But ive heard ppl talk about this one a lot lol
I can recall doing the Court of Farondis rep, and it occurred that they may have him join in the fight with Azshara. He’s have like… almost the position of being a champion with other big namers in addition to the players when it came to taking her on or eliminating her lieutenants, captain type followers.
I really like these videos. Your voice, the detail of story and history you make. It's great! Keep it up :)
Ah Vandel! the probably most important character in Flying buttress video series telling us what really is Illidan Book about!
i love this videos, great work hiru
lirath's dead almost made alleria and turalyon split, she got obsessed by killing hordes and became cold, it wasn't until they went to draenor that she finally mourned and warmed up to turalyon again fter much fighting and khadgar working as a mediator XD, love those stories from the second war
I'm glad that the Mary Sues from the books usually don't get more than a passing cameo or a small role here and there. WoW has enough of them already.
I agree. Nothing that can be done about the Mary Sue Prime, though. That being Malfurion.
@@moscanaveia what about med'an
@@robertlupa8273 Malfurion has alaways been worse, to the point where blibsnarl wrote lore around his marysuic status.
@@robertlupa8273 And Med'an is non-canon
I thought you were gonna mention Amber Kearnen one of the si:7 that helped in the rescue of anduin and a side quest in westfall. Her death in legion and mission was so important but no one knew she died. She is the reason why we knew mathias shaw was a dreadlord that was gonna burn stormwind from the inside and we rescued the real shaw in the process.
Man, I love Amber Kearnen. She’s such a cool character.
EDIT: Oh, and let’s not forget she was also pretty heavily-featured in the early quests for Pandaria!
While her story was kinda lame in it's conclusion we DID get to get see A (shitty) conclusion and even a followup in Shadowlands to this (If you're a Rogue who did the Order Hall campaign you can talk to a Spider monster named Kearnen the Blade outside of the House of Eyes ruins and tell her the message was delivered successfully) which is a LOT better than a ton of other characters got.

Kanrethad the TRUE Warlock, and..is right i mean, he can even force summon and control a pitlord until we take that control for urselves while Gul'dan "ask" for help from the Legion demon's.
For Murmur he has a little cameo on WoD on Talador where some random guys are trying to summon it.
Well, Gul'dan effortlessly summoned three extremely powerful demons at once with his Hand of Gul'dan spell, in part because he did not need to bind them. Kanrethad needed complex rituals to summon and bind just one. It's no secret that big boy Gul'dan is peak warlock, do not do him dirty by saying Kanrethad is better.
@@moscanaveia The "problem" is that we dont really many "feats" by Gul'dan itself (probably just raising the Tomb by some ritual) because everytime he summon a demon was a "help request" for the Legion while Kanrethad would force them to be summoned and linked to his will.
@@darthnihilus1572 I mean yeah, that's also because warlocks often aren't part of the legion. If you are, you're already bound by allegience there and don't need to forcefully command them.
Imagine if Varian had killed Vol’jin. Tyrathin just has to kill his own king lol.
I'm sorry Hiru but a top 10 isn't enough xD You need to make a series out of this. I was expecting Nazgrel to be in this list.
I also think it's sad that neither Lothar nor Doomhammer appear in Shadowlands.
I 100% agree on Murmur, though. It seemed like a super cool concept and we just deal with him in a dungeon xD
So glad you included murmur, when you learn about it you're like "what, this is just tucked in a random corner of Outland?"
Gryan Stoutmantle I enjoyed serving under him during Vanilla and Cataclysm, it was surprise to see him in the Paladin Orderhall I thought he was more of a warrior class.
Yeah, I’d always thought he was a Warrior too. And always liked him and wanted to see more of him as well.
Bold of you to asume that this is the first time we hear about Vendel when our Boy Flying Buttress made great Vids on the Illidan Book
It was just a fragment of Murmur they had in Shadow Labyrinth, that's why he only has like 10% of his health when you start the encounter
nah its actually the full murmur, just weakened by the wards.
backed up in chronicle volume 2 where they speak a bit about him, and never mention hes a fragment.
Maybe I missed it, but you skirted right over the fact that Murmur as he appears in TBC is a tiny, fragmented incarnation of his true being. That's how they justified us being able to beat him, because we were fighting him at less than 1% of his full power.
100% agree with Vandel. William King brought a maturity and grittiness to the Warcraft universe that other writers just can't hope to match. Christie Golden's Lich King novel read like it might as well have been taking place in a high school.
Whats the name of the add on that changes the UI of quests?
There are many great characters from lore I'd like to see, like from the books, Like the Bloodsworn and Dark Riders comics.
Thanks, Raven from Patreon.
The Reliquary actually had a role in the Hearthstone Expansion, Saviors of Uldum... But they're treated like:
"The Explorer's League and the League of E.V.I.L. are on a race to unearth the very tool to raise Galakrond back from the dead... Oh and uh... *reads smudge from paper* The Reliquary is also there..."
You have a chance to encounter Belloc Brightblade as a boss in the adventure and can end your run if build your deck around a specific type
You know for an expansion centered around evil people doing archeological digs and fighting dwarf Indiana Jones, I'm surprised that Rafaam didn't ally with the Reliquary...
Being the belf my first charater ever created even before worgens or lately nightborne main, it touchs my heart disocvering the Reliquary is treated as a side old faction willing to help horde or their race with archaelogy, rather than exploited comedy Expeditionary League that still is fun, but feels like Indiana JOnes vs Nazis supersoldiers/archeo genius. Maybe we can see more or then in the enxt expansion covering dragons relics.
That was a really good topic let that guy choose another one.
What was the addon at 2:03?
Murmur makes the funny train horn sound.
yeah i told hiru to include some of murmur's sounds cause they are so fucking weird and funny, but he didnt!
haha murmur go choo choo
Given that the Explorers League act pretty neutral most of the time, they make more sense as the quest faction because they're not aiming to increase the Alliances power, but rather uncover history.
Lirath gets some good coverage in the Sylvanas novel. Probably wasn’t out at the time of this video. But given he was dead before current WoW timeline, there isn’t much they could do with it I suppose.
I’m pretty sure tae’thalan is present in mists on the isle of thunder? Or at least some of the reliquary. Also they are in the cataclysm version of the blasted lands. And draenor as well, in ashran the reliquary is heading horde’s excavations there, and I think tae’thalan’s daughter is working with the Nightborne and the reliquary in zuldazar. I think there were some appearances of the reliquary in other parts of bfa too, like the archaeology trainer in dazar’alor
Reads title: "#1 is probably Gunther because he's so badass."
Murmur was never confirmed to actually be this powerful tho, the lore about him is written by ingame characters, so the information could be false.
And knowing blizzard it probably is, unless they intend to bring Murmur into the shadowlands to deal with the jailer or something xD
If Gunther isn’t on this list a part of me will be devastated.
I'm downvoting and unsubscribing
Forandis story is one of the best in wow
I think one character who deserved more screen time would be Dar’Khan Drathir. He was an old friend of Lor’themar and Liadrin, as well as a Magister. However he felt he was not getting the recognization he deserved from High Elven society. He also experimented with void magic and his discoveries eventually lead to the creation of the Void Elves.
Dar’Khan is the one who let the Scourge into Quel’Thalas. He murdered the Convocation of Silvermoon (high ranking elves who ruled alongside the king) and took down the shield that was protecting the kingdom. He also died many times but kept coming back. It’s a shame that someone like him didn’t have much screen time during the Blood elves questline in Burning Crusade. He’s just a mini boss and you have to take his head to Lor’themar.
When I first played Blood Elf, I had no clue who Dar’Khan was and why everyone seemed to hate him. Turned out he’s the reason Quel’Thalas and the elves got fucked up by Arthas.
I always had a personal theory that Lirath Windrunner should of been today's Forsaken representation instead of Calia Menethil. That is a character who would of have a different view of what being undead means in opposition to Sylvanas' views, even feeling alienated to his other sisters who loath the undead as they were alive during the scourge unlike him. Legion would of been a good introduction to bring him back even with a minor role, yes even back from the dead (like that matters for forsaken), and BFA would of been the right moment to show his opposition to Sylvanas. Instead, that role was given to Calia, a character that also barely had any lore mentions except in books where they were featured in the background somewhere but unlike Lirath has no connection to Sylvanas except that they are both undead.
The problem with that is that lirath have nothing to do with lordaeron that is the reason why they picked Calia. Calia is the queen/royal of lordaeron even undead respected her. Now i dont like they turned Calia into a light undead that literally have no sense if they want to do her a faction leader (also Jaina's brother) cuz she is friendly to alliance but for a dumb pvp thing is forcing her attack the alliance. I think Voss would be a better choice for it even if Voss hate being in the horde (her own words) because she hates humans more.
@@sorrowday838 Sure that was true when WoW just started but now not all forsaken are even from lordaeron. Are the Gilneans? Are the elves from Quel'thalas? And then you got forsaken territories outside of Lordaeron as well. Should they all accept a queen pretty much imposed by non-forsaken people?
@@sorrowday838 Also not so related but I thought that the lordaeron council was going to be a replacement for Sylvanas but it seems blizzard decided to off them in the beginning of BFA. Too bad, cause there are a lot of potential forsaken lore characters that could take the seats of those positions. Maybe even make each seats a different forsaken theme (apothecary, military, cult of shadow, navy, etc...)
@@bradypus55 no elves from lordaeron are part of forsaken maybe now nelfs from teldrassil( again odd they join them even they were the ones who kill them) and gilneans recognize Calia as a princess so their forsaken could also do it. Another good/bad could be the sylvannas doggo that aside sylvannas had lore and position to command but we killed him so gg. The huge problem with forsaken is that beside sylvanas we know no undead horde that could leader them
@@sorrowday838 Then maybe they don't need a leader and should just follow a council system like the Horde is doing right now. Seems much more logical then a person who came out of nowhere till recently. I mean Calia has been undead for very much shorter then Sylvanas has been leader. Why would the forsaken now all of a sudden care about royal lineage? Seriously, how can Calia even continue the lineage as an undead?
You missed the little Murmur rare encounter in Talador!
You forgot to mention the entirety of the Worgen
Would like to see Medivh as a major character in the future, maybe whenever they do the war between the two major cosmic forces.
Considering he is the person who's responsible for the events that kicked off this franchise Im surprised we didn't have more content about him in legion.
Though now that I think about it, I have no idea if he's actually dead or not. I think you see his ghost in kharazan, but at the same time he doesn't seem dead in that one Warcraft cutscene.
Where's Gunther Arcanus, what have you done with the real Hiru!?
At 3:19 you get 2 black bars cinema-style and NPC dialogue goes into a subtitle format. Looks fantastic! Is that an addon? If so, pls tell me which so I can get it
immersion i think?
“Storyline” though I don’t think it’s updated anymore sadly
15:05 - I can't stop laughing, he just came over and YOINK, took Broll like a seagull flying away with a french fry, I...!
If you ever read the wow comics Broll Bearmantle is like a main character from the beginning! Def needs more screen time
Farondis's story's closure was pretty much him getting redeemed in the eyes of his people. It's decently done and finished, but they will never follow up on it.
Why? Because it is too much of a local story, and they prefer doing epic battle moments with overepicness overload.
I think the bigger issue is that Farondis is another Night Elf character that should have been involved with Azshara raid but wasn’t. Still blows my mind how little the night elves were involved with that
Broll sounds a lot like Fendral Staghelm in terms of backstory. I wonder if they put some of the plans for Fendral onto him after everybody hated Fendral.
What addon is the one that changes the camera shot when talking to npcs?
You recently have been my fall asleep to these vids and figure out where I left off the next night guy
I love your vids
"mind" gif, so amazing!!!
Considering how many cool characters there are in Warcraft lore, it feels like the content creators handle things like hollyweird directors and writers sometimes when it comes to video game movie adaptations and just do what they want, not what they know will make fans truly happy.
What happened to villians corner?
Rachel got a job and so she cant do art anymore, and the villains corners did not preform very well, especially for the massive cost to commission all the artwork for them.
Still LOVE this video for having vandel
My heart breaks that we didn't get to see Liam Greymane at all in Shadowlands. Gilneas and the Worgen have gotten such the shaft ever since they were introduced
You should do a video on top bosses based on a playable class. My personal choice would be for Jade Fire Masters, the battle of dazaralor mage-monk combo
You missed Murmur's small cameo in WoD
Vandel is also in Mardum, the Shattered Abyss which is the Demon Hunter starting area. It's been a while since I levelled a DH so I can't say for sure but I'm pretty sure he just sits there, doesn't even give quests.
Vandel! I spent all of Legion trying to find him, hoping he was out there somewhere, only to be disappointed by his appearance being so anticlimactic.
Nice choice of music
Vandel will come back to us teaching us the third spec. That would be super cool.
"Murmur is kind of a push over"
Granted Murmur starts the encounter at half health because the Shadow Council forces had basically been beating on it and holding it back before you arrive. At full health he would have rivaled a raid boss.
Because you said "Who would of thought people would prefer a dwarf over a blood elf" is why I prefer a dwarf over a blood elf.
Prince Farondis totally refusing to simp "queen" Azshara til the end, even when she promised to lift the curse.
Absolute chad.
People should take example.
What a kind but savage dude he is.
Funny my friend made his first WoW Character in vanilla it was a Human Warlock named Dyne. He wanted to give him a last name and went with Ebonlock after liking the lore in Duskwood.and wrote a back story for him. Years later almost same thing happened in actual WoW...
in WoD, Murmur was being summoned on purpose, but we interrupted the process, meaning, the rogue group of Shadow council members, infiltrated Auch and used the ritual to "accidently" summon him, but since we interrupt the ritual before they could do this, Teron'gor succeeds in what he was doing.
What about Senegos and for that matter the entirety of the Azurewing Brood from Legion? Senegos, now with the death of Ysera now is currently the 3rd oldest Dragon alive in WoW and presumably the 3rd most powerful now that the aspects are no longer empowered, elder to even the current representative of the Blue Dragonflight Kalecgos. One of Senegos' pissed quotes is "I can use my Frost Breath more than 3 times a day", a reference to D&D where dragons can only use elemental breath attacks 3 times / day implying that Senegos is presumably extremely powerful if he can pull off a feat that even the most elder of dragons can not in the source reference, while a throwaway line it could paint a picture.
In the BFA expansion when we had that whole arc about empowering the Heart of Azeroth with Dragon energy we just kinda used Kalec for our blue infinity stone and didn't think much more of it even though Senegos is presumably , if not more powerful then older than Kalec. There was even that questline in Legion where his daughter Stellagossa struck up a friendship with Arcanist Valtrois and the rest of the Nightborne who was valued for her ability to see Ley Lines naturally without the use of cumbersome tools which the Nightborne rely on greatly for almost all aspects of their life. Even when the Tidestone was brought back to the forefront of the story in Nazjatar, an artifact that Senegos helped point us towards it's current location in Legion after literally countless thousands of years of it being lost he just kinda said "yea it's over there".
And ever since then the Azurewings have been locked to Legion and all we have to show for it is 3 Emmigossa battle pets that are just a bad version of Lil Tarecgosa and a now depowered artifact weapon that Senegos helped us empower, a feat that Kalecgos couldn't accomplish on his own, all of this with no reference or throwaway line to any of them ever since, not from the Nightborne nor Kalec himself.
Why do you say Sylvanas was "partially responsible" for Vol'jin dying? She had nothing to do with the Burning Legion's invasion at all.
What's the questing addon that adds the text to black bars at the bottom of the screen?
I LOVE the irony that Feroandis ...Ghosted Us since BFA launched
Anyone know what add-ons moved the camera when talking to an NPC or making dialogue for quests into cutscenes?
The lack of Teron Gorefiend disappoints me...
He did get a questline, and a raid fight in TBC
Then in WoD he got multiple questlines, a dungeon, and a raid fight.
@@RazanaArcclaw His questline I loved and his fight in BT was one of my favorite raid fights of that expansion. I despise the way they used him In WoD, His main universe self is way more awesome than his Alternate self (yuck...)

inb4 Gunther Arcanas
For what I remember of TBC what players fight into the SL is a projection of Mur Mur onto Azeroth cause the summoning was interrupted. So technically it’s alive and the players just return the projection to its dimension, similar to Ragnaros in Vanilla.
This is also underlined bu the fact that Mur Mur life starts at 40% so it’s in a weakened state.
i am suddenly imagining a major update or something with a storyline focused on the reliquary + the league of explorers? that could be so cool
love when you post
Where o'where is Gunther Arcanus at?
