World of Warcraft: Lords of War Part 5 Maraad

Hi!

Blizzard released last part of Lords of War and this time we learn the rather sad story of Vindicator Maraad. I feel bad for him now due to what he lived thorugh.

He insists Varian to seal the war order against the Iron Horde. Varian asks why he is so bloodthirsty like the enemy he told about. Then, he started telling what happened to Varian in the invasion of Shattrath by crazed fel orcs. We see resident Draenei's slaughtered by the orcs, Shattrath destroyed and Maraad was ordered to take the last group of refugees to the safety. However, when he saw orcs on the way to safety, he left the unarmed refugees to take care themselves and attacked the orcs. After killing the orcs, he went to the path he told was safe to the refugees to join them but instead he found the bodies of them scattered around. He regrets what he did at that time, carries the burden of forsaking them. Finally, he tells that Varian must seal the order to prevent all those things he told happened in Shattrath back then. Varian seals the order and the video ends with Varian calling the heroes of Azeroth to arms against Iron Horde.

"Azeroth needs its heroes now... more than ever!" - Varian Wrynn

I'm pumped, don't you?

World of Warcraft: Lords of War Part 4 Kilrogg

Hi!

Lords of War Part 4 has been released. On this episode, Maraad tells the story of Kilrogg Deadeye, the chieftain of Bleeding Hollow clan. This one is the longest among the released videos and I believe it covers so much more than the previous ones. We see that the whole clan was terrified by the Arakkoa threat (this is pathetic) and ordered to not to leave their refuge by old chieftain. Kilrogg is challenged by his father to see his own death. He performs the sacred ritual which is a custom for the ones that will one day become chieftain of Bleeding Hollow clan. He must sacrifice one of his eyes to see his death. However, it seems ritual sometimes shows much more than just the death of the person and Kilrogg see his future. Finally, he gets back to his father's side and kills him and says that he was not the part of the future he saw. Dunno why there are so much gory in orc stories. Is it really cool, appealing? Do you get pumped?

And releasing Deadeye's story on Pirates Day? Nice move Blizzard, nice move indeed. :)

World of Warcraft: Lords of War Mini Series Part 3 Durotan

Hi!

Lords of War Part 3 has been released. On this episode, Maraad teaches Varian that even the noblest of the Orcs can succumb to the beast inside by a glimpse into Durotan's youth. Durotan was the wachief of Frostwolf clan which prides itself with their restraint against succumbing to rage.(Bloodlust? Blood fury?). However, even he the noblest of them all succumbs to rage in his youth and ends up killing Stormfang while trying to defend his mother. :( That was right in the feels Blizz!

World of Warcraft : Lords of War Mini Series Part 2 Grommash

Hi,

Second part of Lord of War is released yesterday. In this part, Blizzard tells us the story of Chieftain of Warsong Clan Grommash Hellscream. Maybe it's just me but this one didn't move me as much as Kargath's story did even though we vitnessed the last moments of Gromash's mate.

World of Warcraft : Warlords of Draenor - Cinematic trailer and release date is now revealed!

O. M. G!

WoD expansion is gonna be released on 11.13.14. Mark the date! I'm so excited to play this expansion after watching the cinematic trailer and the first episode of Lords of War.




Such an amazing trailer! There isn't enough words to describe the awesomeness of this trailer. Blizzard should make WoW movie themselves with this cinematic team. The details are crazy! Did you notice the camera position in the Mannoroth's death scene? It is the same with Warcraft III where Grom Hellscream killed him. They even take this into account to re-enact the same moment in the same exact position just to make us remember that we are definitely in the past.




Oh and there is this Lords of War mini series which tells the story of the Orc clans. The first episode is about how Shattered Hand clan emerged. It was good. I felt the pain each time Kargath's nail is broken or when he shattered his hand to release himself from the chains.

One more video is shown on the event. This one shows in game footage of the zones, garrisons of both Horde and Alliance, dungeons and raids. I guess there is an arena type (ToC anyone?) raid in the expansion according to the footage. The most disturbing scene in the video for me was seeing Leeroy lying dead on the floor.



Good job Blizz. You made me wanna play this game again.

World of Warcraft : Warlords of Draenor - Cinematic trailer and release date will be revealed soon!

Hi,

I am super-excited! World of Warcraft's 5th expansion pack Warlord of Draenor's cinematic trailer and the release date will be revealed this Thursday. Also, a new mini series named Lords of War will debut at the same day. I guess this mini series will resemble Pandaria lore mini series in style and give insight to the relationships of Orc clans with each other and with the other races in Draenor.

Official World of Warcraft Twitter account has started sharing teaser pictures today.

This one is from the cinematic trailer I believe

and following from the new mini-lore series.
Don't forget that you can watch it on Thursday, August 14 at 9:30 a.m. PDT on worldofwarcraft.com via live stream if you are not residing near to the Theater at Ace Hotel in L.A.

Everyone visiting the theater will receive a beta key to Warlords of Draenor also.
