ou have to admire Vaulty. How he manages to repeat himself so often to fill 10 minutes with 90 seconds of material.

[@stephenwalker3971]

The fairy circle is directly above the tomb of Tyr, and the resting place of a powerful old god servant. This was explained in Legion

[@christineeccles7445]

you can also get a music box sheet from them too.

[@orridinn]

It's also where druids come out when they go through one of the portals in the Emerald Dreamway.

[@HavocHounds1988]

The statues might be a representation of Medivh (Sargeras,) since in Guil'dan's visions he would have appeared as a hooded slender figure

[@raver377]

plus they are looking like they are guarding the portal and medivh is known as the (last) GUARDIAN (of tirisfal)

[@wenchinatrenchcoat8459]

Pandaria wasn’t a mistery. Chen Stormstout tells you in WC3 that he comes from Pandaria

[@chrzanu2242]

maybe his origins, but wenchinatrenchcoat is right, Chen is speaking about PANDARIA not wandering isle in Warcraft 3, so Pandaria is mystery for in game characters, not to us.

[@wenchinatrenchcoat8459]

well i guess Storytelling is easier and avoids the question of why Pandaria was never of interest until the expansion if non of the main characters, like Garrosh, know about it...

[@Vinnyzzzz]

Zerebrat Eightyseven or the Pandaren starting zone

[@Minimeister317]

The statues were probably created by medivh for unknown reasons, the creatures seen are most likely vultures eating the corpses after the recent battle, one of the planets in Ulduar is likely Xoroth (home to the dreadsteeds). The biggest mystery of all is what exactly is Elune? Is she a light opposite of void lords or what?

[@austinhawkins3307]

Vaulty: "giant kodo bones in Vashjir" Shows what is most definitely NOT Kodo bones. Looks more like dragon bones to me.

[@jaskicd]

Guldan and Medivh, both worked on the Portals,so maybe he saw a human before entering Azeroth

[@saintofmalta]

The statues surrounding the dark portal on the Draenor side are representations of a Medivh that is possessed by Sargeras. Gul'dan created these statues of what he saw in his dreams. In the portal that Medhivh creates in the Black Morass there are no statue until after the Orcs expanded the portal to what we see in the Blasted lands present day.

I mean yer, what you say makes sense 100% But if it is supported by lore, is another thing. I did think they say for a long time, so just wanted to know where lore might say so.@@saintofmalta

[@jefferyfeng1778]

on the login screen though，im pretty sure those flying creatures are eagles. And the final boss of the expansion will not be a dragon…

[@FranzbroetchenGaming]

Yes. They can't be dragons as they don't have any tail and no long neck. The model looks quite similar to the rouge raven mount from legion or the birds you find in Vol'dun

[@FranzbroetchenGaming]

Vaulty never actually saw any Kodo bones before if he thinks that skeleton besides the pearl used to be a kodo..

[@HavocHounds1988]

I believe the faerie dragon circle was a sort of seal over Zakajz body within Tyr's Tomb.

[@FayeHunter]

Just remember, as a hunter if you use Eagle Eye, you can use a macro (very simple macro) that lets you cast it again, and again. You could be in Thunder Bluff and get your camera down to Silithus, its nuts, so if you get it to work underwater (which isnt hard) you can explore the deeeeeeeep ocean........ and let me tell you ........ Thallasaphobia is fucking real....... and it terrifies me to my core....... and i mean that.....

[@DANILKA97]

We actually defended or re-conquered many planets in Legion Argus invasions. I always thought of those as these incredible possibilities with different races and wildlife .

[@HavocHounds1988]

That's not a Kodo in Vash'jir. And I would imagine a lot of the large skeletons around the world are dragons or some equally old creatures.

[@HavocHounds1988]

I believe those planets that are seen in Ulduar are the planets that each of the Titans came from.

[@HavocHounds1988]

Kalimdor when the Titans ordered the planet was all one landmass, so Pandaria was part of it. It wasn't until the Sundering that the continent split into what we know today.

[@MainelyCannabis]

@ 7:00 There are a few quests that are carried out past the fatigue zones. The Baa'l pet is by far the craziest example of this. Whoever first found it out must have used a private server or reverse quest data mining. Blew my mind that anyone solved this stuff. Bliz says there a tons of hidden gems like this still not found yet too. Cray cray. Great vid, Cheers!

[@Lupinemancer87]

The Titans did know about Pandaria, the only reason it didn't show up on the holograms were because the developers didn't put it there.

[@gangcreed4249]

Kenji87 well that makes 0 sense

[@wolfscar5981]

There is a purpose to the Fairy Ring - the Music Roll: Faerie Dragon. After the Faerie Dragon event, a nest appears in the middle. Loot it to get the Music Roll for the unlocked Garrison Jukebox from WoD. www.wowhead.com/item=122234/music-roll-faerie-dragon#comments Edit: Timolain's Phylactery from that Ooze was added for the Ashbringer Hidden Artifact appearance in Legion. I understand it has a past that dates way back, but it was given a purpose to get the Corrupted Ashbringer appearance for Retribution Paladins.

[@Zindoriffic]

I recall finding one of those music sheets for (so sorry for bringing back bad memories here) the garrison music box thing. When the faerie dragon circle "event" ends, the record (or whatever it was) will spawn in the middle, so u can play the music they play during the event, in your garrison.

[@lordchaos52]

the titans not knowing about pandaria makes sense. they was around when azeroth had only one landmass called kalimdor. then the sundering happened where the well of eternity kinda went BOOM and split the landmass up into the continents we have so far. maybe the titans only knew of only a few of the continents as they never explored the rest of the planet. they arent all knowing.

i think the dark portal statues represent medivh on some level. they look like they are guarding them and medivh is ..you know the GUARDIAN(of tirisfal) plus he played a major role in constructing them if im not mistaken

[@TenchiFanatic3]

Number 7 I would say medieve was the one who told guldan how to build it since he contacted him across world's to bring the orcs to azeroth . So my random guess it might have some thing to do with guardian of trisfal. I personally thought they looked like old school death knights.

[@Vathz113]

But you do go to the north pole in legion, as a death knight, to get the epic mount

[@justinsander7654]

Azeroth could be the prehistory of Starcraft.

[@azatiroth6410]

yeah and draeneis are protoss's ancestors

[@Fortune.06]

During the death knight story in Legion, Bolvar sent you on a search for an island very far north of Northrend, but it's very small compared to what's depicted on the globe. Maybe they're the same and the size was simply "retconned," or maybe there's still something else waiting for us there.

[@mikeliberty4265]

in the paladin order hall quest you go under the faerie dragon circle through Tyr's seal, there is an old god minion named Zakajz that you kill.

[@Saimeren]

Those "Kodo bones" are Whale Shark skeletons..

[@Kranitoko]

I highly doubt the titans DIDN'T know about Pandaria... Considering they've been there since the beginning, I'd be shocked if they never knew about it in the many MANY years they've been around. It was more just the Devs 😅

[@vanhasydan4754]

In some cases, new zones where not new continents but finaly doing something with an existing area such as Mt Hyjal or the highlands adjacent to Wetlands

[@Vathz113]

I believe the statues resemble the first death knights, the humans possessed by orcs

[@chrzanu2242]

but 1st death knights (made by Guldan) were created AFTER portal was made

[@Vathz113]

@@chrzanu2242 but also keep in mind, the dark portal did not look like what we see now You could see the original dark portal during the black morass caverns of time raid. The finalized design of the dark portal (what we see now), was made AFTER the first war, which means the shadow council death knights were already made. If you play warcraft 2, you'll realize how the death knights closely resemble the statues

[@bjornerlendur4606]

"Pretty much every single WOW expansion comes with its own island or continent to explore. The only exception to this is Cataclysm" Maybe there wasn't any actual continent, but there were islands. And, not just one.

[@darkdavid28]

Thanks for all these WoW vids. I haven't played in 10 1/2 years and was planning on getting back into it. I miss the golden days of WoW when we had to fight for what we needed or wanted. Also how we had to gain faction rep for things that today's players are just given.

[@Fortune.06]

Considering that the Titans had *a lot* of important facilities on Pandaria, it's impossible that the Titans weren't aware of Pandaria. I wouldn't put much thought into Pandaria missing on the globe, it just wasn't considered during development back in the day.

[@Petty-dl1qc]

As usual, captivating

[@tbsbennie]

about point 4, there is a similair dragon skeleton on the highest mountain in Zuldazar. It has multiple arrows in it.

[@ShadowTheHedgehogCZ]

We already visited multiple planets in Legion. These Assaults on Argus teleport you to distant planets the Legion is invading. And I think that in the Antorus raid, you also fight on different planets for some time. It was kind of disappointing because those other planets barely looked alien. Just some normal forest or swamp environments, not very different from what you'd see on Azeroth. The most alien looking world so far is Outland. Dreanor which is past Outland still looks rather... "normal". I guess that its destruction is the thing that gave Outland most of its alien-like features.

[@z23344]

3:35 I think this is the resting place of C'thrax, and they are trying to clense the area.

not in game ? nordend / pandaria are you only post a old viedo again? relead on 17.05.2019... but the infomation are from BC

[@ravenheart9405]

Hy there, i dont know whether you´ve ever realized, but in the homezone of the voidelfes you also can see alot of violett planets - they seemed to be void-infected - and galaxies. So i wonder, what does that mean. My idea was, if Azeroth is dying during bfa, i asked myself where will we live then? The only possability is to travel to another planet.. Isnt it? What do you think about it? Let me know, wheter you´ve found the place i´ve told you ;)

[@sirkalilak6841]

Where would we go if Azeroth dies? Currently everything is pointing towards Death - what world is associated with Death? Shadowlands! There is something or someone, an entity of "Death", much greater than Bwonsamdi, the Lich King etc. If the Void fears Death (Undead are immune to the whispers of the Old Gods), it is likely that we at one point will have to cooperate with Death (which has already bargained with Light), to fight the Old Gods (and their bosses, the Void Lords) Therefore I suppose it is plausible to think that something goes wrong and Azeroth will in fact die, so we have to retrieve her soul in the Shadowlands or anything like that - OR - we have to make her "undead". Sidenote: I wonder - The Void wants her alive, she would be of no use if dead, what are the efforts of the Old Gods to "save" her?

[@bradcarter6286]

Basically the statues are Ring Wraiths... there was going to be a portal to middle earth and an entire cross collaboration, but Blizzard forgot to mention this to Tolkien’s Estate and well.. you can imagine the uproar! The Tolkien’s arent going to stand for someone pulling a Led Zeppelin and getting away with it! So naturally this was shot down and we just have to deal with it until a deal can be worked out..

[@Vyncent1982]

As regards the Fairy Dragon Circle, as of WoD, it is where you go to obtain a music scroll for the jukebox in your garrison... Music Roll: Faerie Dragonmusic roll:faerie dragon! Not quite accurate about the Titans not knowing about Pandaria. After all, the final boss if you run/ran Heroic Throne of Thunder is a Titan Keeper. In fact, much of the lore in Pandaria and on the Isle of Thunder does indicate that the Thunder King not only knew of the Titan Keeper, but was the one who he defeated, and chained and locked the Keeper up below the Throne of Thunder. Ra-den - Fallen Keeper of Storms! "Lei Shen's life changed forever when he stumbled into a dark chamber below what are now the Mogu'shan Vaults. Legend has it he found an ancient titan keeper guarding a miraculous device known as the Engine of Nalak'sha. No one knows what transpired between the two beings, but Lei Shen later emerged from the site bristling with the power to forge an empire. The keeper's fate -- and his current whereabouts -- remain a mystery." He had fallen into despair because he had not heard from the Titans themselves in a very long time. Much of this lore is found in the scrolls, throughout Pandaria and the Isle of Thunder. Also, phylactery is not a Fantasy word. For what it is actually used for in terms of Fantasy games, it is the item that is fantasy, not the word. Dictionary phy·lac·ter·y /fəˈlaktərē/ noun: phylactery; plural noun: phylacteries A small leather box containing Hebrew texts on vellum, worn by Jewish men at morning prayer as a reminder to keep the law. Origin late Middle English: via late Latin from Greek phulaktērion ‘amulet’, from phulassein ‘to guard’.
