Tirion died because he was still using Wrath of the Lich King armor.
hahaha
no upgrade after that
how do you know it was not a transmog?
Also he tried to solo @level content with a paladin... Everyone knows you're supposed to roll a DK for that.
Clearly, it's just transmog
I never realised that Balnazzar quoted Mal'Ganis. That's so spooky.
And his Lieutenant quoted, or maybe fulfilled the vision we had in Ulduar. "The breaking of this one has been taxing."
There's a ton of callbacks in the dialogues of this questline. Tyrosus paraphrases Tirion from ICC at 8:17. Zerus paraphrases Arthas from ICC at 9:03.
Honestly, symbolism is great in stories, but not when it distracts from everything that's happening. Legion has narrowly avoided that line.
He quoted Mal'Ganis, 'claim your destiny' quoted Gul'dan, the whole i will it at 12:13 is kinda quoting Kairoz, the other day i said leave only ash, so he quoted me aswell
"narrowly avoided that line"? Do you think Legion has been too heavy-handed with its references?
8:49 Is Maxwell looking into the spyglass with his patched eye? Really?
Imagine a Fury Warrior with Frostmourne in one hand and Ashbringer in the other.
Now that would have been op asf
Perfectly neutral
Perfectly balanced as all things should be
Titans grip ruined fury.
@@jacobkeller7172 how so
Patrick, that's the ashbringer
8:50 lol wrong eye m8 XD
lol
lop
hahaaahahahahhah!!!
No wonder Tirion fucking died, look at the men he recruited to assist him
"I see...only darkness...before me."
Question: If I go back to ICC and fight Arthas with my Twin Blades of the Fallen Prince, will I break the universe?
Yneso
Doubtful. VERY doubtful.
sadly no. Also there are no special events for ashbringer anywhere..kinda lame. Went to SM,nothing. Went to icc,naxx,strat,freaking everywhere and found nothing
+Barokai Rein when I went to orgrimmar with doomhammer a bunch of guards congratulated me but I'm not sure if that's for all artifact weapons
if you are a druid in Darkheart Thicket, the first boss comments on the specific Druid Artifact you are wielding and how the painful the powerful weapon is, when you're fighting him
Last time I was this early Thrall was still relevant to the story and the Horde.
Soggy Biscuit Soooo.... never. xD
So I ran Sunwell for the heck of it, and after the last fight when Velen comes in, they purify the heart of the Mu'ru or whatever... That dark heart crystal thing he purifies looks exactly like the crystal here. I thing Ashbringer is made from a Naaru heart.
There has been speculation that it is a Naaru or a fragment of the ata'mal crystal. Seeing as the crystal went from dark to light to dark back to light just like a naaru can do in its life span go from being a form of light to dark and back to light etc.
OMG REALLY!?!?!
Jk most people have known that for months...it's the heart from the Naaru we purified in Draenor, only on our Draenor the Naaru died.
Daniel Clarke Was that ever confirmed or just speculation?
I'm not sure if it was confirmed but it's obvious it was true and doesn't really require confirmation. Much like how you worked it out is obvious.
Which Naaru are you referring to? And you mean in WOD? Or Burning Crusade? It's been awhile since BC and I didnt get very far into WOD.
The Ashbringer has always been my fave weapon lore. I even got it to trigger the old Scarlet Monastery event all those years ago. I'm stuck however at the moment I love all the 3 Paladin Artifact Weapons and can't make up my mind on what I'm going to be my main
It would be great to see this becoming a series for all of the artifact weapons. Cool video!
"Deathrattle: Equip a 5/3 Ashbringer." It was foretold
Balnazzar, such a dapper voice for such a villain
I'm pretty sure what Lord Maxwell Tyrosus says when you land on the Broken Isles or somewhere near the Broken Isle to save Tirion and get back the Ashbringer is almost identical to what Tirion Fording himself says when you first enter into ICC as well as what Jailer Zerus and Tirion Fording Says when you go ahead and Balnazzar even farther...Hopefully this isn't Blizzard being lazy but instead a tribute to ICC.
Yep, most of the Broken Shore stuff (even the scenario we got in WoD) is a tribute to ICC/the stuff around it.
For example Tirion being entombed in (Fel) ice and freeing himself with a final blessing, the ending really hinted at becoming the LK/Ashbringer...
There are just so many different connections and it sort of is cool to play through it, but at the same time it's also a bit lazy from Blizzard and cheesy in that matter. xD
So Balnazaar gets killed in Scarlet Monastery (level 30-ish dungeon), then is tasked with protecting a weapon found by level 100 characters.
This is why the Legion loses every time.
Balnazzar was killed in Stratholme
Can you do Fangs of Ashmane next? I'm so curious where they came from and who ashmane is
They were the fangs of ashamane made into daggers and she was one of the wild gods that fell in the war of the ancients
I wonder likewise about the Claws of Ursoc. As far as ive gathered, Ursoc was also a wild god who fell in the war of the ancients. His brother Ursol guarded the claws in a glade in val'shara for the longest time, awaiting a druid who could contain Ursocs bloodthirst and frenzy. But thats all i got so far.
TheLostCodex has been making some short and sweet videos about the various artifact weapons, the claws specifically are in the artifact weapons of the wild gods video
why everyone wants vids about stuff with no lore at all? nobbel already said that ashamane was created fresh for legion there is no lore behind her except she was a demi god that fought during the war of the ancients and died
Ashamane was another one of the Wild Gods who fell during the War of the Ancients. If you read the War of the Ancients book, you see a part where Malorne and Cenarius summon all the other Wild Gods (called demigods in that book) to help. There are quite a lot of them that aren't named, only vaguely described. While Ashamane isn't named there, when the different ones are being listed there was a mention of one of them looking like a panther. So yes, Ashamane was created for Legion. But there was already precedent for there being a panther Wild God.
Dreadlord Balnazzar: You are here because i will it. You live because i will it. and you will serve because i will it!
kairozdormu: You're free because i will it. You live because i will it. and you will join your father and rally the old orc clans because i will it!
Jaina is a dreadlord confirmed.
So good, this weapon is why I made a paladin, so glad I did as well.
ret paladins are boring as hell. try a DK
The CashBringer
I love that Darion tossing the Ashbring to Tirion is accompanied by a little blood splatter.
I noticed how close Tirion being tortured sounded very much like when arthas was torturing bolivar
I love my ashbringer. Thanks for this video. Great as always Nobbel!
"You live because I will it" That reminds me of kairoz
"You live, because I will it" - Kairozdormu.
And we all know how that one endet.
This video just popped up out of nowhere. Thanks for making my day Nobbel :)
Holy God this channel is Great and paladins lore is even greater
I looked for it back in 2004-2005. I remember running around in the plaugelands, never finding it. Fun times.
YES!! A MILLION TIMES YES!!!. i always wanted to be a part of the argent crusade, and know we will be able to lead it? this is like a wish come true for me!
Broken shores is a massive plot hole. Why on Earth would the Argent Crusade charge alone? Why would Azeroth's Guardians ( Dragons, Demigods, Celestials) were absent? Were was the big guns ( Malfurion, Tyrande, Velen, Khadgar)??? NOTHING MAKES SENSE....
The gods/celestials- being corrupted or fighting off the legion at thier home.
Other leaders- commanding defenses , building up troops and resources.
The argent probably charged with the first wave of alliance and horde troops but we're overwhelmed , but u like horde and alliance had no reinforcements till we arrived.
+Joe Brown After 2 Legion invasions I doubt the NE would let the rest do such a rouckie mistake. I mean seriously check Malfurion's and Tyrande's reaction in Warcraft 3 they lost no time and called
at once every they had (even Illidan) to combat the Legion they didn't blindly charged to ply the heroes.
The corruption part still is no excuse for the Dragon's absent. Neither would Khadgar let them go against the Legion without him being there, apart from not having the immence powers he has filled everything else from the Guardian's role.
+Grumpy # first, tyrande and malfuiron again, did what they did in Warcraft three was more defensive, they never actually went on the offensive. And again, they gave forces to half of the faction leaders of the alliance. Plus the alliance also did scouting and that was sabotaged to give false information about how big of a attack was going on.
As for the dragons,khadgar isn't this super all knowing deity, he only knows about kalecgos, that's it he doesn't have a beacon to summon them like some weapon, plus the dragons have their own shit going on with the fact each one of their lives lost is a closer step to extinction since they no longer reproduce. Idk about you, but I'd be hesitant and let these two large armies fight first before going in.
Also look what happened to ysera, wtf do you think would've changed ?
The argent crusade didnt charge alone though.Lore wise,they were a part of the first wave.The very same wave that Voljin,Sylvanas,Varian,Thrall,Mechatorque and Baine was a part off.
where was the elves during this? prepping up their warriors for another wave.Presuambly the third wave (the second being the players).
Attacking from different points.
12:25 Thats almost the same thing the Bronze Dragon that helped Garrosh and Wrathion has said!He was corrupted maybe?And perhaps thats why Wrathion couldnt foresaw Dragons actions.
kairozdormu
So much Ret Paladins since Legion, that's really crazy. The hype around this weapon is real.
Every time i hear argent crusade i get the feels man
12:13. Wow, he paraphrased Sovereign's speech from Mass Effect 1 on Virmire. "You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we command it."
The image at 8:50 makes soo much sense... looking through one of those things with your eye patch...
Yes! Really looking forward to more of these im really excited :D
"You are here because I will it you live because I will it and you will serve because I will it"
10/10 originality blizzard.
?
It's intentional, a figure of speech to hone the message in.
Blades of the Fallen Prince next please.
Now player, you shall wield the Ashbringer, the unique and only true weapon of the light!
When you go to the Order Hall: *Everyone using the Ashbringer*
Everyone is unique! Yay! :D
ruined the fuckin lore
Hahahahaha ! the true unique one is the one who wield the Truth Frostmourne
"The light.... will..... AAAAAH!!! AAAARRRGH!!
Now I wish I had another level 100 so I can laugh at that scene again.
AAAAAAAARGG 😂😂
4:37 now we actually know the faith that Tyrion was waiting for... Dying to the Burning Legion... what a crappy faith :(
fate*
such "a great destiny to fulfill", ey?
*****
Indeed my Friend...
Honestly if Tirion was the LK instead of Bolvard , Sylvanas wouldn't stand a chance
I love you nobbel, you take my stress way when i´m buried in studies. thank you
12:11 anyone notice how balnazzar is also quoting kairoz when he took garrosh to draenor? exact same lines from short story/legendary ring questline
the new dreadlord models are cool and all, but i kinda wish they at least kept the old ones for just Balnazzar or something. So dope with the facial hair and so on
Your journey has just become paladin. You will watch your class become the new deathknight only to meet your justice in the hand of OP pandas because fuck Karma bullshit op ability...
"You are here because I will it. You live because I will it. You will serve because I will it"... This sounds strangely familiar
Holy shit thats why the light didn't protect Tirion. He asked it for one final blessing, he asked for all of its might and it answered. But it could not perform the same miracle again.
OH NO!! I droped my Ashbringer :(
Don´t worry, we have spares :)
You know having the Holy Stick of Righteous Healing would be pretty cool.
Yaaaay, Nixxiom people :)
Totally Moocluck'd that
Oh fuck, could be him aswell. idk their styles are very similar :P *****
YES YOU'RE DOING THE ARTIFACT QUESTS THANK YOU I LOVE YOU NOBBEL
Seriously, Tirion deserved a cinematic
"never again will that dammed blade slam my bretheren" *30 seconds later* "aight mang I'm out, go kill some demons or something"
The dialogue was definitely inspired by ICC, "regardless of outcome, they will know that we fought with honor." "The breaking of this one has been taxing." "Never! I will never serve you!" "So, the lights vaunted justice has finally arrived..." Etc...
Great vid.. super glad I finished that part of my Pally Legion quest line before watching though :-P
I'm so thankful to anyone who do these lyrics for video.... :D
the light orb that floats away when Tirion dies is similar to when you play as Uther in that shadowlands quest and a light orb floats away
Of course the ashbring is first...I mean what did you expect man it's sooooo cooooool
Have watched "The Ashbringer Machinima" few times, feels like I know everything about the Ashbringer, his wielders and it's story but I will just watch your video because I fucking like you so much.
More of the artifact lore/journeys pls!!!!
Remind me, I got to take my Paladin back to ICC again with Ashbringer in original form just for giggle and laugh.
Allies in the Twisting Nether? What? There is a faction opposing the Legion's work inside the Legion?
Oh, great Loremaster Nobbel, please, tell me more!!
Arator has a "leaping strike" Fordring does leaping strikes...but we as a player get a useless 3sec palamount...
You know, when I heard that Draenor had a timetravel story worse than the bloody caverns of time it made my head hurt.
Now realising that they changed the timeline without saving Uther, one of my favourite characters in Warcraft... my head stopped hurting and there's only resignation.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS been waiting for this!!!!! It's happening! it's happening! Nobbel Artifact lore!
So lore this week... much thanks :)
Now that the Ashbringer is so common :p i found that Maxwells wepon model looks really nice
need more legion videos, need more legion lore :D good job :D
The Nathrezim are the best demons, hands down. I want one as a pet for my Warlock!
I think this was on Twitter, but someone at Blizzard confirmed that the Ashbringer cyrstal is a Naaru core. We suspected this for awhile, but it's now been confirmed. I think it was the core of the MU version of K'ara (seen in SMV in AU Draenor).
So, does anyone else thinks that Ashbringer core was, and still is actually a shard or an entire heart of a Na'aru? They used the same model for it as for the Heart of M'uru, it also reacts to both Light and Darkness as M'uru's did when it got corrupted and then purified by Velen. Over all it seems to act like an actual Na'aru
They've extended the quest since alpha. That's good. Makes it more interesting. I'll play my paladin as soon as I'm done with my boosted mage and demon hunter.
when i did the quest, the " i will it" bit made me wounder if it rly was kiroz idea to take garosh to dranor.
Lord Maxwell Tyrosus: "I'll signal our hippogryphs *points scope up to eye patch*
Stupid Light: "Sorry Death Knights! Tirion is too cool for you to join!"
The Arcane Artifact: Aluneth is creepy... it's whispering to you like when you are out of mana it says.' I'm out of Mana,' or it says some secrets about Dalaran. It's so creepy. I freaked out first time and destroyed my mouse..
In hindsight, Tirion should have held on to that last blessing.
What's up with the kissing sound whenever you kill lk?
Shoulda called the Ebon Blade to help get that sword back. We'd have got both it and Tirion too! ;)
I'm telling you...there should be a test of character that *must* be passed before a player can roll a Paladin. *Sniff* Such nobility!
I'd love to see a quick video on the history of each Artifact Weapon. Some are recognizable like Ashbringer or the Doomhammer but I doubt a lot of people know where Titanstrike came from
Lord Maxwell Tyrosus has some dope ass shoulders!
Well, that's interesting - Tirion asked the Light for the last favor, when frozen by the Lich King during the fight. Maybe that's why he dies in Legion, because the Light actually did him the very last favor and it was time for him?
I do believe that the Light had decided that his time had come and it was time for another to carry Tirion’s torch. Remember that in DK questline the light itself intervened to prevent the Ebon Blade from raising Tirion basically saying “Leave him be! He’s earned his rest.”
Maxwell: Uther! Wait! I have more to ask you! Uther!
Uther: Remember who you are!
Was I the only one bothered that they made Tirion do that? He went in with just the argent crusade against the legion, when he's the one saying, "only by working together"
I love the irony of the whole paladin campaign. All you are doing is hunting a dreadlord for revenge. Because that worked so well in the past
Oh look, Tirion stuck IN ANOTHER TOMB WHILE WE DO THE JOB. Give his corpse to my Lady Sylvanas, maybe he will be more usefull as undead.
Edgelord
awesome cant wait to see some more!
Is it just me or did anyone else find the sword oddly small in The ashbringer comic book? I got it back when it was first released and went "Why does it look so...reasonable?" It almost looks like a one hander in warcraft universe where everything is so big.
Arthas is always like "Impossible!"
"Really great sword Magni, but could you make the cross guard a big stupid Lordaeron L?"
Your faith is curse that hurts me, palas.
Please do the Prot Warri Artifact next! :)
12:13 didn't Kairoz say that line to Garrosh in Draenor?
I think a "silent" fart creept out of arthas at 4:25 xD
Cool Story but personally, i like the fury warrior ones better, where you get some blades from some guy... in a swamp
Could you do a lore video on the original Ashbringer hunt? How a player found an item that led him to many different in game clues, leading him and many others to the belief that Ashbringer could be fished up.
For those who arent aware, the original enemies/items from that story have been re added to the game and brought to level 110 leading people on a massive hunt to find out how to get the Corrupted Ashbringer skin.
I really need to make a macro with Arthas' "APOCALYPSE!!!"-soundfile tied to the special ability of my DKs Apocalypse.
If there's a Warcraft 2 Movie set during the Second Invasion(war), anyone think there's a chance The Ashbringer could make an appearance, I mean the first movie saw Khadgar summon the holy light to "Cleanse" that Demon Medivh turned into.
Light give me one final blessing give me the strenght to shatter these bonds!
Just got my CA last night in TBC classic!!
At 8.50 into the video, he's looking through a telescope with his eye that has a eyepatch on it! LOL! What is expecting to see???
do the death knight blood artifact or arms warrior artifact next
He alredy did long time ago.
***** no a video on them like this one not the beta let's play
Dear Nobbel,
I was wondering if you have a lore video on Nathanos Blightcaller. I can't seem to find much about him on youtube and so I was wondering if I just overlooked it or if there just isn't any.
Thank you again for making your video's about the lore of warcraft, since it's really helping me a lot and I even got my girlfriend hooked on the lore thanks to your video's!
I wish you well!
