Behind the Greymane Wall: Secrets of Gilneas Revealed

#wow #lore #scrollsofazeroth
Here is the history of Gilneas, my main reference was the WoW wiki but from there I also worked on checking the books it mentioned like "Before the Storm" and "Wolfheart" along with that i'd look through the quests it talked about to see what happened and if i could I would go and do the quests, but a lot of them were behind a long chain. Hope you enjoy!

This one was a bear to make. Honestly I got overwhelmed with it at one point and really had a hard time working on it, but overall I'm happy with the end result. I think I've figured out a new way to work on the videos so I get less overwhelmed with big videos like this one or for characters who have big backstories like Varian or Sylvanas. Hopefully everyone enjoys and thanks for the support in my posts, It means a lot and I look forward to getting more content out for you!

We appreciate all of your hard work. always nice to find a new good lore channel. Can't wait for your next project.

[@scrollsofazeroth]

Much appreciated, next up is Vereesa Windrunner. Been wanting to do a video on her for ages, but got caught up with the zone lore so I really wanna get a video on her done and then Sylvanas probably or the Titans and Keepers. Glad you enjoy the content!

Good job my friend we appreciate your work. The narrating is a 10/10

I skipped cataclysm and just reclaimed gilneas in retail. So cool to learn the history behind it. Thank you.

[@Astronic]

I also like that you speculate in the video. Feels a bit more real than all AI content on youtube nowadays.

[@scrollsofazeroth]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it, I learned a lot myself so I’m glad I could tell others about it. Even though it was a pain to get done I’m glad I was able to get it out

The entire Gilnean asthetic matches Genn's character. Archaic, stoic and set in old ways.

Gilneas = Victorian!Great Britain

[@darryleldon1284]

Your lore videos are a big part of what is keeping me playing right now. They always inspire me to go out and explore the zones you cover to look for the things you highlight. It's good fun! Being a worgen main this video was even more meaningful for me.

[@scrollsofazeroth]

I’m glad I can keep you going, I’m just happy I can get to learn about all this and there is an audience who wants to listen, even to these long ones. Thanks for watching and I’m happy to make them for yah!

[@BlargianSnaggle]

Sadly, when it comes to Alterac we don't have a hell of a lot. Like you mentioned everything we kinda know, like Perenold betrayed the Alliance, Terenis and the other Kings took over his Kingdom until it later collapsed.

[@Sophie7T]

Awesome as usual. Great coverage of their story. I know the time and effort you put into these videos, and to create content that equals or exceeds the standards of fully funded studios like you do is nothing short of amazing, Thank you :)

[@MaxDragonwolf]

I remember se a kid, my favorite race had always been the Worgen, since i loved werewolves and the worgen is what got me into the furry fandom, Warcraft lore, and writing my own characters. This video feels me with nostalgia for some reason

[@krismeyer2319]

Last night I was searching for Gilneas lore to sleep to, and suddenly this is here tonight ❤ theeeenks

[@scrollsofazeroth]

Happy to have provided you with some Gilneas lore! Hope you enjoyed it and I hope you slept well when listening to it :)

[@valenam99]

Yay new video!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work! Its so refreshing to see lore videos like this ❤ keep it up!

[@scrollsofazeroth]

Come hell or high water I was getting the video out today lol. You’re very welcome! I’m just glad others enjoy watching the videos lol

[@beatrizbarreirodominguez1355]

Loved it! Thanks for the hard work!

[@scrollsofazeroth]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thank you! I really do enjoy learning all this about the lore so it’s great fun for me :)

[@railittv1150]

Beautiful Video, very calming and full of the Information u want to know. But i need to ask what is the backround noise do u have a link my massive headache just said goodbye see ya later xD

[@scrollsofazeroth]

Haha I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I’m extra glad your headache went away. I guess it knew that I know the pain of a massive headache and left you once it heard my voice, that’s my best guess lol

[@petercampbell4185]

Sheesh a marathon but worth

[@marcusblackwell2372]

Can you do a Kul Tyras, Theramore and Lordaeron video?

[@scrollsofazeroth]

I’ve actually done Lordaeron already but I do plan on doing the other 2 as well. It’ll just be some time while I work through Pandaria

[@Swiftbeorn]

I thought the Reclamation of Gilneas was rather... disappointing. It took Genn out of the spotlight in favor of Lilian and Calia, which I thought was very tone deaf. The writers are more focused on what they want the story to be now, and aren't making sure they create satisfying conclusions to existing story arcs. I don't think this was a good time to talk about how bad a dad Genn was, but to focus on his promise to return, which he made to his son. That talk with Tess could have come later. Genn deserved a bit more triumph after all he's been through. I'm kinda sad at this point after being a HUGE Gilneas fan for so long.

[@scrollsofazeroth]

I didn't mind it, but I thought there should be more build up toward Genn giving it to Tess rather than that quest chain, felt it could have done well for a bigger story arc to get the passing of the torch, but I did find the scene good, but just rushed in a sense

[@Swiftbeorn]

@@scrollsofazeroth exactly!

[@leonardoquickgyro12]

All this history with political intrigue and rife with potential and Blizzard made their heritage quest "durr hurr worgen bad even though it's what kept us from going completely extinct" The reclamation storyline is a complete joke compared to some of the storylines that were dropped in the leveling experience alone.
