Love these audio book type of videos. Especially the narrator. He's excellent

[@LukeGMD]

If you enjoy Steven's narration I highly recommend "The Blade Itself" and the rest of the trilogy on Audible. Great books, great narration.

[@dagowow]

Accents ruing audio books, just do not lmao

[@crimsonscourge8539]

GIVE HIM A RAISE!!

[@razus3332]

Is this the real hellscream?

[@meltoprak4539]

Krucial if you were to narrate an audio book i would leave everything and listen it . You have an amazing voice to listen

[@foxreign3836]

I love Steven Pacey. Such a good narrator.

[@foxreign3836]

He is

[@runecrafter1231]

Is he like Kevin spacey's brother

[@bindair_dundat]

Arator: "Mother! Father! I'm so glad you survived all this time!" Alleria: "Arator, meet your brothers and sisters."

[@peytonc18]

Turalyon's night time "Holy radiance" part was quite hilarious. I laughed quite a bit.

[@weaponmaster1515]

Lol

[@ashb712]

Alleria's voice acting in this is top notch 👌👌👌

[@justinmartin845]

Absolutely fantastic. Such an amazing immersive story. This makes me so proud to play this game and be a part of this universe. For Azeroth!

[@LiamLefort]

Justin Martin You look very good ! 😁

[@kingwou]

best experiance i've ever had ..never thought that listening to an audio book could be this much entertaining

[@vsoundelend]

Google ''graphicaudio'' I've been buying books from them for years. Unlike having just 1 narrator like this warcraft audio book, GraphicAudio uses dozens of voice actors.

[@TheSindara]

@@vsoundelend someone didn't actually listen to this one ... /facepalm

[@Blackiriskun]

Massively immersing. The music, sound effects and narration were nothing short of top-flight, and the story wonderfully nested itself atop the recent in-game events. I'm impressed.

[@Rizerr96]

Geeze this is amazing... the Tomb of Sargeras series was really cool, really tense, gave us some insight of the inner workings of Khadgar and Gul'dans minds. This one, paired with the amazing voice acting, is different, and amazing still. The pain in Allerias voice at the end, the sencerity of Xe'ras.. I cant wait to hear the rest!

[@SpardaDiablo]

The music makes this 100x better. Amazing soundtrack choices.

[@matthewmonroe9847]

AND YET HE WAS NOT TRULY THERE!!!

[@danyakuma4195]

Lmao

[@icresp4263]

The narrator is insanely good, and the sound effects. These are amazing.

[@adamhurst4219]

Just. .. Wow... The narration, the music, the story, all come together to make an amazing experience I didn't want to end.Even better than the last.

[@MrMatenizer]

Best move ever, Blizzard. Stephen Pacey is the reason I loved the First Law novels so very much. This man is an amazing storyteller.

[@KostadinKody]

I'd like to express great gratitude towards anyone who made this project possible. The story, the production, the narration. Flawless.

[@dungeonmaster16]

We really need some audio books like these more often. Maybe one day for well known books like stormrage and others with sfx in the background like how Star Wars do their audio books.

[@JasonLudeli]

dungeonmaster16 The difference is in my opinion this is more of an audio drama than an audio book. Audio dramas focus more on voice actors and sound fx and were made to be acted out rather than read. If you would like to check out a really great audio drama I recommend the deep vault podcast. It is a little different as there is 0 naration but it's really great!

I'm a brand new Wow player (about 2 months) and I've just got myself through the Dark Portal into Outland. This really sets the atmosphere, great stuff.

[@TheLegoJungle]

Alleria's voice actor is excellent.

[@apocalypseofoto]

Dude, I had something planned tonight! Why would you do this Blizzard? WHY?!

[@vethurolafson1423]

Nox Dei i wanted to go to Oktoberfest today, but that can wait till next week

[@Shylestyles]

So?

[@nab-rk4ob]

Thank you so much for putting this on. Th is such a gift.

[@UnwrittenNoise]

Steven Pacey is my favourite audiobook narrator, so that's a win right there

[@METerrell]

"Eyes in the dark. One moon circling." Just about every time I see something like that, I get that line in my head.

[@12kidder1]

We needed this so much. Sad it wasn't in-game, but a lot more detail can be elaborated upon in a form like this.

[@MrZeuz666]

I loved the pre-launch Legion story in this format!! I used to fall asleep to it.

[@fluturell]

The audio books blizz introduced are awsome, also great to know what happend to Turalyon and Alleria all this time! The lore keeps getting better and better.

[@Konuvis]

The Priest hall music is so soothing.

[@roehanostornsyn3367]

BLIZZARD THIS IS LITERALLY SO AMAZING MY HOPE IN YOU HAS BEEN REDEEMED KEEP DOING THIS

[@Cryptiddies]

oof. this didn't age well.

[@deirhese66]

Absolutely loved the first part! Going to listen to the rest!

[@sddulloo]

DOES MY RADIANCE BOTHER YOU hahahaha dyinggg

[@B4NTO]

This is so great. Listened to them all 3 times so far this is excellente !

[@Betongbritta]

I want MORE of this, please! Would pay for more stuff like this, Love it.

[@austinmcmahan6267]

absolutely the BEST roadtrip material ever!

[@ub3rfr3nzy94]

I'm glad they kept doing these, it's nice since story telling is hard to do in an MMO.

[@Sodys_eyy]

Its not hard, but people are too lazy to read quests and interact with surroundings

[@Glyceroll]

Yesss! I've been waiting for more of these!

[@stevenA44]

Was getting ready to play WoW and seen this, so I thought I'd check it out. I guess WoW will have to wait a bit now. From reading the books, these are two of my favorite characters. This is an amazing story. Can't wait to listen to the next part.

[@ramirer9561]

This is why we need Warcraft 4. All this lore could have been in an RTS building up to the end of the Legion in WoW.

[@zeezoldyck1924]

No because then you'd be forcing people to play a boring rts to experience the law

[@zeezoldyck1924]

Lol, *lore

[@Ryan-sn3uo]

Every game style has its own share of players, including my favourite warcraft RTS, its just because Blizz decided to keep only one RTS, namely Starcraft, hence spelling the hiatus (or even the end) of Warcraft RTS. Either way, the intriguing lore of Warcraft will will never deter players from any form of gameplay Blizz decides.

[@Joaovtrc]

Please, do more of these Blizz, they're amazing...

[@rougehawk]

Ive been waiting for this for a long...long time.

[@tekk611]

These are so good, keep them coming blizz

[@obi289]

Awesome! Thank you for these!

[@Josh2blonde]

I love these. Hope there's more to come!

[@Drilling4mana]

Man, the ambiance and music really make this.

[@tvon92]

I LOVE these!!! Thank you!!!

[@jordanweir7187]

wow wonderful, i had no idea there was so much detail to these stories in the lore o.o

[@Musslewhite]

as an audiobook fanatic these stories make everything better imo

[@emons9]

This is so good, more like this, please!

[@TheMightyHazz]

Blizz please do more like this. Absolutely awesome

[@momogaming5718]

Robert Brooks, Always amazing please make more :)

[@Iad83]

Thx for this Blizz, these are great. I liked the Gul'dan one the most, but I have a warlock bias what can I say ;)

[@taylordaniel797]

So good, thanks for the content

[@zombiefriend]

Would love subtitles for these. So happy they made more though

[@Kechavx]

Great work, keep it up, proud of you.

[@calaiart]

this is beyond amazing... please more

[@WantedFranky]

i LOVE these oh my god i think i listened to the last audiobook like 3 separate times!

[@Janos0206]

YES!! As soon as the music kicks in you know what this is!

[@StanHowse]

18:05 LOL! God I love her.

[@mountainman5173]

This is awesome! Great way to publish lore.

[@TheManofyes]

You need to do more of these.

[@richardm.garciajr.9930]

Awsome start, I can't wait for the next

[@xatyl]

just subbed, waiting for more audio books like this

[@leosabat4636]

dam i need money i whant all books... such a decent narration of combat and beautifull description of the places. love it tnks bliz

[@dangarcia1617]

Bruh. I need more of these in my life

[@kylewitha_c308]

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED

[@Cartoon_Games]

*This was awesome as was the narrator!*

[@eroticusplatypus2955]

This is awesome, keep it up

[@michaelalexander2753]

I wish Turalyon had this voice in game.

[@sullymanda1971]

Would pay for more of these.

[@Gboy86ify]

In case anyone's confused this takes place immediately after the book adaptation of Beyond the Dark Portal

[@someone-wi4xl]

these are amazing !!

[@TheMarcus7777]

When u think its a cinematic and end up spending 3 hours listening to the entire thing smh

[@StanHowse]

Don't act like you weren't pleasantly surprised. ;)

[@JasonLudeli]

Yea that is precisely what happened to me haha

[@zantesh]

But its only 36 mins long. I wish it was 3 hours

[@nviwraith5271]

вєиנαмιи ѕнαяιfι theres 3 more

[@sarahsanityy]

Awesome!

[@sampleshrimp]

Yo my hamster and I are listening to this right now lol my hamster loves WoW

[@zenithquasar9623]

Love these audio dramas!

[@HALFMOONmjh]

I really like these audio books:)

[@Ragestatus]

This is awesome!

[@GeoStarcraft]

I love these so much. Blizzard if you make audio books like this I would buy all of them

[@GrumblesMcCubes]

So pumped to listen to this.

[@jmcghane]

Whoever this narrator is he's doing a fantastic job.

[@Galileomagnifico]

Now I know what to listen to tonight!

[@gustavomaldonado7875]

Thought this would be boring or cringe...it was Epic! Make more!

[@tantos140]

Listening to this while leveling in Outland; Feelsgoodman

[@aznperswazinable]

I love these !!

[@cezarystasiak9498]

Thanks blizz

[@Aelexe]

Love this narrator.

[@KonadorAuchindoun]

omg a whole new thing just like the kil'jaeden one, cant wait lol

[@araposkulo]

wait, what Kil'jaeden one? I only know of the Gul'Dan one during the pre-patch

[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

With a full cast, this time. Excellent.

[@decasin271]

these vids are sooo good

[@Alllester10]

Need more of this

[@Kirby5413]

Great audio I tell ya! I will say this though. Out of both of them I would've thought Turalyon would've been the one who cared for Arator more, but I was wrong. Come to think of it, he seems to be more caring about the Light than anything else whereas Alleria was the one who cared for their son more than anyone.

[@raizelm1578]

Really good!

[@deathtalun8810]

When the demon says "Fate spins around you" did it sound like it was cho'gall talking to anyone else?

[@cambam117]

these are my favorite :) its like story time

[@godfather7174]

This is what i needed in my down time on wow ;)

[@noktharplaying1392]

Blizzard You are the best Gaming company EVER!!!

[@JasonLudeli]

I concur actually! I love how Blizzard focuses on quality over quantity. They only have like 1 mmo, 1 (up to date) rts, 1 rpg, 1 fps, 1 moba, and one card game and they upkeep them fabulously!

[@stripesz]

More of this!!

[@manuelproietti2683]

Hype level 9k!!! Do more of these, please!!! *O*

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

Thank you Blizzard.. for everything

[@kaasik1987]

Listened all of it, and only thing, we freakin need it as a movie!!!! Also separate movies of other mayor characters of warcraft universe... Arthas, Illidan, Sylvanas etc, animated movies, made by same ppl who make blizzard cinematics :D

[@gutspillage]

kaasik1987 Dont think a movie is coming again. After a decade what was released was a super expensive scattered all over the place mess. That killed the reputation for future Warcraft movie.

[@kaasik1987]

Well that's why it should be animated movie, can stay true to the warcraft universe and should focus on certain characters lore like it was told trough games and the stories like this

[@user-lh5my4ws8j]

A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the War. *OH WAIT WRONG FRANCHISE*

[@brandonclowers6318]

Zafer Korkmaz WoW is superior

[@vados8500]

Zafer Korkmaz Fire Nation in WoW = Dark Irons. Or Burning Legion, I guess.

[@ub3rfr3nzy94]

Warcraft doesn't have a fire nation equivalent.

[@nathanael_opoulos]

Uh the Firelands and all it's fire druids duh

[@IronMike2023]

HAHAHAHA

[@fahadx1978]

the sound track is louder than the reader

[@Nate-xv7el]

Xera was louder than Alleria for me

[@HoisinCrispyOwl]

Freaking amazing. Steven Pacey, WoW lore, audio book, twice! Well played, Blizzard.
