Hello to all visitors! Welcome back to the library, hope you are all having a nice weekend! In this tale we dive into Westfall, delving into all aspects of the zone, from the rise and fall of the Defias Brotherhood, to the near abandonded farmsteads and the stories of the people that once thrived here. There was a slight mishap with the release of this tale, the original thumbnail included the phrase "WoW's Most Innocent Villains", I was attempting to convey that the Defias are in that category but it slightly confused the matter. From the early response, at least I know that a tale like that would be of interest! 😂 Enjoy the tales of Westfall, glad to have you all back in the library 📚

Westfall is one of the first zones that made you really feel like you were having an impact on the world. Like you were a part of it. Canonically, it's actually your adventurer (along with some friends ofcourse) who, after piecing together all the clues and figuring out what was going on, tracked down the leadership of the Brotherhood and put an end to their violent ways. When you first walk into Westfall, you're still wet behind the ears, poorly equipped and barely aware of what you're doing, but when you leave after successfully having dealt with the Defias, you were someone of note. Your actions mattered and you've set things in motion that would be felt throughout many new expansions. Gotta love it for that. This has always been one of my favorite zones. The questing there is not the best (humans have it kinda rough from level 11 to 19-20, compared to night elves, dwarves and gnomes who can do that entire level bracket in a single zone), but the story behind those quests is far superior.

@TheKarazhanLibrary Ай бұрын

The zone truly is unparalleled, with some of the best storytelling in WoW to date! An excellent summary of the zone. Kings honor, friend 📚

We the player canonically defeated Deadmines and VC infront of his daughter . Nowadays I feel some kinda way about it , just because VanCleef wasn't such a bad guy , couldn't blizzard had sent him too the stockade instead 😕

@Rainheron Ай бұрын

@@joezar33 Well it's the tragedy that makes it so impactful, Van Cleef was a good man, he was right and it was Stormwind that was being manipulated by Lady Onyxia that was wrong. One of the best parts is when you're doing the Onyxia quest chain and you unveil her, there's several quests that deal with her in her human form as Lady Prestor and I just thought it was phenomenal that we uncover a huge plot of complete control of Stormwind and that all the problems of the Alliance essentially stem from it. Absolute mastery of story telling in Vanilla WoW.

It's on the to do list! There is some Karazhan lore featured in our Duskwood video, you can check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d6iGgrWKm-DJenk.html

One of the marks of the Defias, other than their red bandanas, are tattoos on their rights hands, I myself, have the tattoo, it's a cog tattoo to show they were workers of the machine... :)

@TheKarazhanLibrary Ай бұрын

Amazing! Brilliant idea for a tattoo! I believe it was also mandatory for all members and those without would not be accepted in! 📚

@hospitalcakewalk Ай бұрын

@TheKarazhanLibrary exactly :} I started off as a human rogue in the game way back in 2010 so the lore meant everything to me. Then growing up and working and dealing with society's views on the American working class and how much it feels like the world just sees us as mindless trash when we're literally just fighting for rights in a place we can't escape from... yeah, the tattoo means a lot to me.

My mistake - the initial thumbnail came across as if it was a countdown of the most innocent villains, not what I was trying to achieve. I was trying to say that the Defias are a on that list of most innocent villains, which they are but it was slightly confusing. I have just changed the thumbnail 📚

Where did you get all this lore?

@TheKarazhanLibrary Ай бұрын

A mixture of in game knowledge, revisiting quests/story lines and research from online resources like wowpedia. A good example is the last section of this video is from the Dragonflight Human heritage armor questline.

@TheKarazhanLibrary great research. I will use your work to further the fan fiction I'm working on. I'm working on the Westfall murlocs right now on my other channel Next Network entertainment

@Pengalen Ай бұрын

1) the whole stonemason story behind the Defias Brotherhood never made any sense. You wouldn't just hire them to build a city (which would take years) and then say "oopsy, we can't pay you". Each project would have to be funded in an ongoing way, and if you couldn't pay, it wouldn't be done. 2) the fact that you had to mention a Draenei spaceship travelling to another planet as part of the discussion of a rural farming zone demonstrates how far off the rails WoW has gone.

@TheKarazhanLibrary Ай бұрын

The second point is fantastic! 😂 Of course Onyxia was manipulating the nobles, so it might have been because of that, but indeed you are correct!

Apologies - I have just changed the thumbnail, I was trying to convey that the Defias were a group of Azeroth's most innocent villains but it came across as if it was a countdown of the most innocent villains! Sorry for the initial confusion, it has been changed 📚
