Zul'Drak - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft

[@Bothrops_Asper_89]

I loved Zul'Drak. You have this once powerful empire falling prey to despair as the scourge encroaches on them and captures their principal stronghold of Drak'tharon. How they sacrificed their gods in a desperate measure to combat the undead and eventually, they ended up falling. It was great Blizzard remembered them and not only had you fight the last forces of the Drakkari in the throne of thunder, but you see the last of them sitting in Zuldazar during battle for Azeroth. And he actually says the Drakkari became extinct.

[@ethanyoung2131]

and in the throne of thunder it was revealed that the god there was like god tier level strong i think... even more powerful than deathwing or something

[@YodaZemunski]

A tragic fate. Wish they could do more with the Drakkari tribe instead of just going through the extinction path.

[@hamburgertrain7185]

It would've been better if perhaps we could have aided the Drakkari in some way...they'd start out maybe hostile and paranoid...i mean jeez...living next to SO many Undead Strongholds as the Lich King gained more and more power and ground...we helped effectively made a entire ancient species extinct (Or Endangered)...that doesn't make me feel good...Trolls were effectivly turned into a pseudo-meme.(Whens the next troll dungeon? Also the recent BFA lore made the Zandarlari betray one of their biggest tenants...making their cousins effectivly peons to the Horde)..but if you really take a step back and think...we pretty much did THE WORST possible thing as a third party...it's true some of the Ice trolls, joined Arthus...but many others tried to flee or fight back..."The enemy of my enemy is my friend" a common goal in mind...an entire species doesn't reflect them all...but Blizz struggled and then fumbled to bring a story line that could bring relations to them and even allys...instead "A slaughter..." is what we got...of 4 major tribes...entire citys wiped out...

[@berzerk4]

God this zone was depressing. I loved it!

[@DranweRagetotem]

this music, zone , everything made me happy hehe

[@bonefetcherbrimley7740]

"Look around, and let the devastation sink in. Every last troll that lived here is either dead or has fled to the upper levels. It gets worse. In an act of desperation, the living drakkari trolls sacrificed their own animal gods so they could drink the blood of the gods and gain untold power. While they succeeded in keeping the scourge at bay, with their newfound strength, the results were catastrophic. The ancient empire of Zuldrak lies in ruin as proof." -Crusader Lord Latinga.

[@Torbirk]

I will never forget my first encounter with Thrym

[@hamburgertrain7185]

It's very jarring to see a straight up titan of death...marching inside a war-like culture of a city...also that name "Thrym" references a frost giant warlord from Norse Mythology...a notable jötunn who stole Thor's hammer, not sure about the correlation but maybe with that title "Hope Ender" he stole a metaphorical "Hammer" of power, of authority...and by extension...the ice trolls hope of survival...

[@Nagoragama]

I always loved the apocalyptic feel of this zone. The cloud-streaked sky with ominous light behind it, and the slow, plodding death march of a sound track. It gives the impression that what the Drakkari are doing is causing the end of the world (theirs at least).

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

Because it pretty much is the end of their world, and at their own hands too.

[@kenllacer]

Zul'Drak with its meticulously planned urban environment filled with temples, aqueducts, and an amphitheater is vastly superior to anything found in Zandalar.

[@vazak11]

Agreed!

[@Anudorini-Talah]

Eeh no? The golden city of Zandalar alone overweights ZD

[@nenadpopovic7780]

My favorite Northrend zone. I do like the music and feel of Grizzly Hills as well, and believe it or not, Borean Tundra too. But Zul'Drak is just too good. The music, the ascending levels of the zone, the Ebon Blade, Drakuru, Argent Crusade and Zandalari quests, as well as the cool arena ones. Investigating what happened to the loa and helping them exact their revenge, all while witnessing the slow downfall of the Drakkari tribe. As well as going into Drak'Tharon Keep and Gun'Drak to deal with them. It might have been a bit gloomy and all the running around daunting, but in the end, I loved everything about this zone. Knowing that those were the final hours of the once mighty Drakkari empire, the whole zone delivered that uneasy atmosphere perfectly.

[@GR-no5ee]

Nenad Popović Also my favorite zone 100% agree

[@brav0wing]

I need to do it as well, then.

[@skittlebites1319]

They could make a World of Warcraft "The History of the Trolls" game and I would play that in a heartbeat. Please, someone at blizzard, give us an excuse to come back here and enter the Temple at the eastern end. Maybe some Drakkari are still held up in there?? eh eh?

[@Hubson55]

man! one of these zones that i soaked into and really "lived" there for these 2-3 days while leveling! quests, music, environment everything was like a good movie - from the beginning to the end!

[@deanmerlino9736]

WOW... Just spent the last few months slowly listening through all these tracks at work. Finally got to the end of Zul'Drak. Such an incredible catalogue of great music, art, design and literature. The future of the arts is safe in the hands of gamers! Amazing gift for us all. Many many thanks *gets glass of water, has a stretch... goes back to Elwynn Forrest...*

[@toadmilker8151]

Those poor Ice Trolls. They got screwed over in every possible way.

[@exorcie]

For some reason this is my favourite zone, not Nagrand or Teldrassil, or Jade Forest or any other zone. Thx! I've been waiting for that particular upload!

[@RavienGaming]

One of my favorite zones too! I think because it was where I first leveled to 80.

The Golden Times of World of Warcraft!

[@chsgrate5362]

I sympathize with drakkari trolls, they've lost everything - their loa, their fruitful land in the 1st tier of zul'drak. They've lost their families. They've lost their government, but the worst of all this - they've lost hope. And now zul'drak is empty. This civilization was destroyed by scourge, Argent crusade and greedy heroes. I am really sympathizing with drakkari trolls😢

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

It wouldn't have been destroyed by the Argent Crusaders and heroes if the Drakkari hadn't acted so violently towards them. The Argent were there to fight Scourge, not wage war against trolls. If the Drakkari cared enough about their own survival, they would have realized that and instead help the Argent drive the Scourge away from their land. But no, instead the Drakkari chose to be power hungry and arrogant. They thought they could fight a war on all fronts, and paid dearly for it. They chose the wrong enemies, and they lost their loa to their own greed and lust for power. The woes of the Drakkari were on them, not the Argent or the heroes of Azeroth. When someone comes to your land to provide only help against a greater threat, you don't spit in their face and bite the hand they reach out, 'less you want more enemies. The Drakkari should have learned from the Darkspear Trolls. Choose your allies, don't fight them.

[@chsgrate5362]

@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 I dont quite remember warcraft lore,since its so big. I do remember though when trolls actually united to preserve their glory as a united ethnos,and only darkspear/horde allied trolls refused. I dont think it makes them better ar all. Plus the civilization of drakkari trolls have been fighting scourge and other creatures for years and probably developed a bunker mentality,so i dont think they would ally with some weirdos and newcomers,who looks more fresh on the face but still. I hated that the narrative changed to praising players for achieving something and basically making them rule the story,instead of actually lore prominent characters.I feel bad for them.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@@chsgrate5362 I'm saying is that the Drakkari brought it upon themselves. The Argent and Ebon weren't "invading". They merely set up base to fight against the Scourge, and the Drakkari did one of the most taboo things in troll society: killing their loa's. Much like the Gurubashi trolls, the Drakkari showed disrespect and hostility towards their loa's in an attempt to gain power from them, and in the end it only led to their downfall. In the end, there was no loa to help them, because they had either killed or driven off the ones who were willing to help them. The most tragic of troll tribes would have to be the Amani, since they not only lost their homeland to invaders, but also their loa and thousands of their own warriors. In the end, the Amani were forced to, much like the Gurubashi, to find shelter and asylum under the Zandalari empire, and are now essentially treated as punching bags by the Horde whenever the Zandalari allow it.

Come to mock? Come to laugh at the speaker for a fallen empire? Any troll of Zul'Drak not claimed by da Scourge was broken by dem. In there death throws, my people slew our loa, stealing the power of dese gods to wield against the Scourge, and then they died as well. I be here, now, as little more than a pet for these Zandalari.
