4:27 "Stand... as one! For the Alliance!"

[@BingBangPoe]

I love how this version of his theme conveys so much about his emotional journey. It starts melancholic, showing him recovering from the loss of his father, and ends heroic, as he takes in the legacy of Varian as King.

[@ZippyMrMew]

Everyone gives Mists of Pandaria hate... despite countless reasons why that was stupid. That wasn't the expansion when I started playing, but I did play it a lot. The quests with Anduin throughout, the lessons he learns from Varian, and the lessons Varian learned from him... I swear, there are moments in this song that really remind me of those times, even of the MoP soundtrack a bit. Shit just hits too hard tbh. Especially if you've played since vanilla or at least went back to experience classic... you've literally watched this child grow into a complete badass. It really is awesome

[@BingBangPoe]

@@ZippyMrMew Exactly. Mists of Pandaria is one of my favorite expansions for that alone. Seeing both father and son grow and respect each other feels more real than any other character relationship in the game.

[@craigandannbrewer9140]

People need to remember that Anduin is 18 -19 years old, he is still a kid, trying to fill the big shoes his father left...as Velen said in Legion, he will grow into them...right now he has some of the toughest decisions anyone could make...and he knows the fate of the Alliance rests on each and every one of them.

[@BlazeIgnitus]

@Black Ice Anduin was 10 in classic. That was 25 years After Dark Portal. BfA takes place in 33 ADP. So him being 18 is accurate.

[@ManTimeline]

@Black Ice Ideals are what much of the alliance and Horde both stand for. They want to make a world where fathers and sons don't have to die without being able to say goodbye

[@ManTimeline]

@Black Ice oh sure, Jaina taking actual years to get over her guilt for the things she blames herself for is bad writing

[@Ecoflight77177]

I come here two weeks after my mom passed away. She fight against a cancer. We learn about it last September, but it was too late to save her, it was incurable. She know that i used to play Warcraft since i'm a kid (i finished Warcraft 3 : RoC on my 6th Birthday, two month later i started playing WoW on my brother account with my own character, a Nigh Elf Warrior). Warcraft was a important part of my life, and when i turned 18 Y.O., Legion come out two month after (i'm born in June, Legion come out in August). It was my first time on my own account on Official (between Pandaria and WoD, i played on a Private Server, shame on me). And i started raiding with my friends AND my brother (i never played WoW with him before). My mom, when i tell her that i had to eat earlier some evening (in France, we usualy eat between 7 PM and 9 PM, it's all depend of people's habits) was okay with that. I talk with her of our progress. I didn't play so much BFA. But on all my progress, i never finished a Raid in NM before ShadowLands, because of the lack of motivation. But, when i started to play ShadowLands, i come in a new guild thanks to a old guildmate from the guild of my brother at Legion. We cleaned the NM in two weeks. And next to WoW, i stop working for taking care of my mom. It was my only way to let off steam. And the fact that i know my mom support me when i'm playing giving me more motivation and i became the RL of the Second Roster of my guild. With the Roster 2, we cleaned the HM at the end of february. And the two rosters ended up merging because my mother's condition was deteriorating and i didn't have the strenght to take care of my mom and lead my fellow onto Nathria. I was okay to carry on raiding, but i wanna stop leading. Two weeks ago, she's gone. The day it happened, I went on a raid because I know that's what she would have wanted. But now, when i'm raiding, I no longer have anyone to tell my tale. I miss my mom so much, and everytime i playing wow, i think about her. And sometime it make me cry. But sometime i listen to this song, and i know that her "actions were indeed heroic. They were [her] challenge to us, [her children] to never let fear prevail. Even at the very gates of hell"

[@ArnoldTeras]

May she rest in peace, brother. For the Alliance! And for the memory of your dearly departed mother! :)

[@fdmz2537]

Stay strong my man,She'll forever be by your side.

[@aaabee5687]

I lost my mother to cancer too when I was much younger I have only few memories of her without the illness. Few first lines of your comment caught my attention and I had to reply. Sorry for your loss lad, I know it is rough at times, but she will always be with you in your heart and memories. Memories never die and should be cherished, never forget her, but don't fall in the endless pit of desperation and sadness, mourn but do not get stuck in the endless lament and grudge. You are strong and will pull through. For the Alliance For Azeroth

Hi Guys, Ecoflight here (my New account, i lost my first one. And Melyon is the name of my Paladin) I read every answer you Wrote.

I like both factions. I play both factions. But consistently I find that I feel the Alliance has better storylines, better quests, and better zones. Maybe it's just that I'm more of a traditionalist RPG player so I like normal race tropes, but whatever it is my paladin has always felt better as a Human than as a Blood Elf. I hope one day Blizzard realizes the faction war no longer makes sense and they remove it for PVE purposes so we don't have to divide our friends. The hardest thing of all is when an artificial divide stops you from playing with people you want to. Like in one of the cutscenes in BFA says: Time and time again we keep coming back to this crossroad (the war). What has changed this time? We have. For Azeroth.

The way BEs can harness Light deepens the concept of Light and paladins. It's cool, actually.

[@alvarof8095]

Nice but...warcraft is based on the eternal war between Horde and Alliance, this is the essence of this world. To be united would be great but for me, to feel that they should be friends but choose to make war is part of the dramatic beauty of this great story
