*"Come, let us press forward."* wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

After watching that little cinematic Blizzard threw at us it really made me realize how much Anduin reminds me of Young Arthas, not just looks. If Anduin goes the route I believe they're taking him, I am certain he will be what Arthas could have. On that note, I'm so happy they're actually writing Anduin's character decently.

Anduin getting his artifact weapon.. Anduin:"What am supposed to do now?" Varian: " Farm AP my son! "

Seeing how Genn talks to and about Anduin, I have to remind myself that he lost his own son a few years back. He probably feels a measure of responsibility for Anduin, seeing as he seemed to be Varians closest advisor.

"You never surrendered, even here, at the Varian-d"

Genn: "Anduin is untested, he hasn't witnessed war against someone like the Legion, he doesn't understand the sacrifices that are needed" * Anduin travels to The Broken Shore to understand better what his peoples are facing * Genn: "You don't need to see this, how could you just leave?!"

Anduin has always been badass imo. Yeah, he's not always been some sword wielding warrior, but he's always been great in other ways. Pandaria showcased this perfectly, I think.

I'm neither Horde or Alliance, and I honestly only care about my Forsaken, but damn, did Varian go out like a badass. When my daggers go up Sargeras's ass, one of them will be for him.

Prophet Velen: You see, he lives in you * points to the puddle * *Varian appears in the clouds* Anduin: Father? Varian: Anduin, you have forgotten me. Anduin: No, how could I? Varian: You have forgotten who you are and so forgotten me. Look inside yourself Anduin, you are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the circle of Stormwind. Anduin: How can i go back? I'm not who I use to be. Varian: Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true King. Remember who you are.

am I the only one who felt Varian's tomb should have been called "Wolf's rest" ?

I must say , stormwind guards really deserves a day honouring them

holy shit as soon as he saw the vision of his father and the conversation they had...then the music kicked up i got tears streaming down my eyes !

*Going to sleep* Let's check youtube for one last time. *Sees new Nobble video* Well, just one more video before sleep.

"to preserve peace, you must be willing to fight for the alliance" sounds about right

Pretty sure Sylvanas was just tired of Nathans bones sticking out and poking her when the play twister on Tuesdays. ..... what you don't believe me? just go to moonguard server, everyone's playing it.

"your father's actions were indeed heroic", "your actions gonna be mythic"

I like Anduin a lot since he has a level head and compassionate personality unlike the rest of the WoW characters.

"Oh, it's another Anduin thing? This is gonna be boring." *Anduin gets the vision of Varian* WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS? HE'S FUCKING DEAD DAMMIT! BWAAAAH!

He's exactly like Gohan, and This is his Cell saga

king MANDUIN

Anduin is the king Stormwind deserves, AND the one it needs right now.

All hail King Manduin! For the alliance! For Azeroth!

Anduin: What am I supposed to do now? Varian: Stop playing Hearthstone!

So apparently "Windrunner" is synonymous with "Human-porker"

Am I the only one who cries everytime after seeing this 😢

Holy crap! I can't believe I actualy cried watching that cinematic... with all that "I'm not worthy" and "I'm not like my father" stuff, combined with the Anduin & Varian scene. I feel so weak right now!

"toot toot sylvanis blowing her horn" laughed too damn hard at that

This is the absolute best way possible to finish up the week, thank you Nobbel for being just the best

"further down the road we saw some kids playing power rangers, i means kings!" ahahaha that got me good

I main Horde but the new alliance themes gets me every time and I have respect for varian Wrynn and i think Anduin will be worthy for his crown

I'l be honest, this story is why I actually started to play legion. The only story of WoW that I really knew until I played again was the Warcraft 3 stuff, and that's only the Arthas stuff. That cutscene reminded me of why I play this game, it was so good.

Now Im waiting for Turalyon as a Mentor for Anduin

This was so intense that i got tears in my eyes...

Thank you so much for the in depth Anduin quest stuff :) I love knowing the whole story!

"Don't call me Anduin. I'm now.....MANDUIN!!!!"

...stupid shrek injecting mountain dew into varian.

Seeing the son of the wolf bear his fangs and stepping up is awesome, can't wait for more in the future!

*"Its surface blazes light, masking shadows below."*

I have always loved the new expansions, but I have been playing since closed beta, and I have so much heart in Azeroth. The Anduin walk, Ysera, and Illidan with Xera, will forever remain in my memories as stand outs in the story. Prophet Velen's story was also terrific. Thank you for spending so much time making these videos, for those of us who have already leveled 12 characters, working on 16, and have watched these scenes over and over, and dreaded the last time in game.

"I'M TOTALLY NOT JUST WALKING OUT OF THIS CASTLE WITH YOUR KING GUYS, NOPE, NO KINGS HERE, CARRY ON!" (Anduin I swear if anything happens to you, or you bolt on me or disappear, I'll wring your adorable, well-meaning little neck myself)

I love Anduin :D

I love it! I was really hoping you'd do both stories! But in 1 video? Crazy! Keep it up man, love your vids! Love from Belgium! :)

I love the short story. I hope they are pushing more lore in this manner.

Varian: my son..... Athas: yep,YOUR son....sure,sure

love it, nice work!

Seriously the music in the cinematic caused so many.goosebumps. Right after 12:50 especially!

I really enjoy your story telling.

holy frik that cinematic was AWESOME

I've been playing my Horde toon exclusively lately but i'll always be Alliance at heart so, thanks for this video Nobbel, wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

Gosh darn it, Nobbel. I wasn't ready for the feels!

FOR AZEROTH AND THE ALLIANCE !!!! The Epicness of Varians Story always brings tears to my eyes andthat Legion theme with the Trumpets, man... Epic

That end cinematic gives me chills..... @__@ Every time.

had to shed a tear here hit me right in the heart!!!

I now understand the feeling of "epic". Because I felt it throughout the entire video. WoW lore

okay nobbel you killed me calling him Mananduin xD keep up the good vids

1:16 STOP SHOWING ME THIS

Loved this vid, especialy The cinematic

Damn Nobs, it's midnight here in the Netherlands. Why do you do this to us, now I'll get even less sleep : D MOARRRR LORE PLEASE! ^^

Good thing everything went without a hitch, because Anduin did forget to turn off his tag

fucking finnaly, Blizz is throwin' us Allies a frickin bone. Robot cat incident has been forgiven.

nice video, ANOTHER!

MANduin = uncorrupted Arthas, and i am okay with that. The leader of Horde and Alliance haven't talk to each other yet, for some reason. And the other part of Shalamayne isn't recovered yet.

Crying in the middle of a coffee shop, thanks :I

Wow is really going that Game of Thrones route! Story is really well done this expac

Goddamn Nobbel got me crying at work from the intro feels

the cutscene just made me hop from sad to grinning at an instant. the moment Anduin sees his fathers reflection in the sword reminded me of the Lion King and i just imagined Varian comming in as a cloud :P

These were great. I've always liked Anduin over Varian anyways. Man i know people hate Sylv here on your channel but I love her, she is lawful evil but is so tormented and dark. The dark mirror was a much needed story for the two of them and it's real interesting to see their relationship, and give the horde "something" after the great side story with Anduin we cant even experience

Nice. I didn't want to sleep just yet anyhow!

Manduin just made me laught out loud. Well done.

"Watch out Legion, MANDUIN is coming for you now!" Had to like if not only for that line, lol!

Yes, finally!

The feels!!!

After I read the short story I was like, damn I can't wait for the Nobbel video.

I like the short story and the cinematic always brings a tear to my eye every time I see it. Also to anger the nonfans; Sylvanas x Nathanos for life!

I Loved the story of Dark Mirror, I think that it would have lost something in the translation to cinematic, but if they had put the voice overs in. had her voice actress read the lines and his and stuff, I think it would have been amazing. Not, that it wasn't. because, it absolutely was, but it would only have improved it. as a Fan girl, I felt even more like Nathanos than anything. it was great to see, the depth of her loyalty even in death to someone. I think that everyone imagines she has absolutely no loyalty in her, but if that was true, why bother? Like the Dark Ranger said, she wasted valuable resources on someone she could have just replaced, with any player who has ever defended her in the undercity like it was their job. 100 thousand Blood elves willing to be her champion men and women alike. I think it shows the lengths she would go to, for those she cares about. I also see the lengths she will go to, to make sure her loyalty is not misplaced. Nathanos Chose to sacrifice his cousin to serve the Dark Lady. She still is probably the best tactical mind in the game. I think she wants the Val'kyr like she says, for the forsaken, to raise more of them, to build her wall against death. to give herself more chances at survival. I have a feeling Helya wanted Sylvanas to help her stick her thumb in Odyn's eye. I would like to believe she wanted to Raise Varian and maybe Vol'jin. it would be a shock to pretty much everyone if she brought them back, plus with what we know about Nathanos, Anduin could be used to bring back his father, and Vol'jin has a son. so, now we know it works. I wonder if this was before the broken shore? not that the Alliance or Varrian would be happy, but I think to spite it all, she is mostly well intentioned all be it misguided. I also think people underestimate the Depth and breadth of her Loyalty and maybe this should be an eye opener. thanks For the Vid, I always love your Lore vids.

I've spend too much time with my Horde toons that I've hardly touched my Alliance, but this quest line is making me want to go back and get that final level on my hunter so that I can experience all this for myself.

Anduin looks like he was pulled right out of Assassins Creed in that disguise

"a wrynn must Always rule stormwind" Reminds me of game of thrones: There must always be a stark in winterfell.

Anduin, the best king of stormwind.

manduin... you tryin to kill me man? i'm falling off my chair over here xD

I think Sylvanas wants more Valkyr to be able to empower her greatest troops like she did Nathanos, I honestly liked the story, it gave us insight into how close they were in life, and how even in death they can't be kept apart. But also I like how it explains why he looks so much more human like than he did in the past.

turn the subtitles on and go to 12:36. Dumbeldore is that you? Ow wait just Varian i lolled so hard.

Still love that moment on stream where Nobbel confused that dk with Anduin

i was wondering what took you so long! :)

This brings me so much emotion because my father passed away as well and this made me feel like me and Anduin had something in common that we both lost a person that deeply loved us, and him saying I can't be the father you were or leader. also grey mane saying your father taught us to never let fear prevail over you regardless of the things you have done and know that they will always love you and are waiting to be with you again in Heaven or- the Light. I Understand his feelings now😇😂

Everytime I see this, tears well up in my eyes.

Anduin is starting to become my favorite character

To be honest as a Horde player I've never seen Greymane not screaming that Sylvanas needs to die before, this is a welcome change of perspective.

I play Horde and have an alt in the Alliance. Anduin's lore is basically the only thing keeping my little human frost mage active.

Yup I thought three things when I did this. Man this is Blizzard at it's finest..... 2 Aside from being my favorite Legion cut scene and story, the Anduin music they did may be my favorite music in wow aside from vanilla night elf music. An three after I did it 5 time son all my alliance characters was i can not wait to see what Nobbel thought of this :).

Anyone else think after the Anduin cinematic. Get this man some plate he's going palidin!

god you make me want to start playing wow again XD

Can't wait to see the update to this with the new xpan footage. ;)

"toot toot sylvanas blowing her" and "waaaaaaaaaaamp ow my god fel reaver noises" priceless for subs on serious cintematic

I really loved the sort story. I am in the middle of reading the "Beyond the Dark Portal" and I must say that I like Windrunner sisters twisted and not easy relationships with humans.

I dont think Varians death scream will ever stop haunting me.

your guard is that high elf from Hellfire Peninsula???!!! WOOOW.

amazing. i wondered why varians sword didnt became a warrior artifact. now we know, its a PALADIN artifact ;) i so much loved this whole thing, even if its unballanced, sometimes things are that way. awsome.

I was also very confused as to why greymane and velen were just chilling outside a portal the burning legion uses the bring in troops

"Well struck sir, right in my pain cluster."
