The Story of The Ohn'ahran Plains [Lore]

[@Eristasa]

I wonder if the Earthen Ring will show up cause honestly seems like they could be of great help with all this elemental stuff.

[@brianstiles1701]

Thrall and Zappyboi show up to save us all in 10.2

[@MCcrepperify]

I mean i have seen a few earthen ring members in the dragon isles And raghar is in the plains as well over by springs in one of the huts talking with some of the centaur Assuming he will be part of the maruuk renown questline

[@hellzpawn1751]

indeed there are some earthen ring shamans that give you small quests in the waking shores

[@Eristasa]

@Justin B wait so the dude we made the fire lord during Legion vanished?

[@cxfxcdude]

I wouldnt be surprised if some of the primalists split off from the Ring. And maybe the schism left them wounded/weakened. Get to see my Boi Nobundo again in a future patch hopefully

[@imitasian3260]

Glad they're finally exploring the centaur stories beyond what's in Desolace.

[@TheDeekins]

I knew as soon as I read the centaur clan names that I would be very, very delighted to hear Nobbel read them -- and I was right

[@strawl9528]

Thank you for all your lore videos. I love them and your beautiful story telling voice.

[@xR3DST4Rx]

Never thought I’d say the green flight are more badass than the red. The red flight story is all about eggs 😂

[@Sparklebeard9000]

Always has been

[@spacejunk2186]

And parties.

[@kaizerlith7070]

Yeah my biggest question is where did the primalist cult come from? Not the primalist proto-dragons but the mortal races. Maybe some of the smaller none leader proto-dragons weren't imprisoned and were able to spread the word until it got to that Grimtotem guy?

[@stormstrider1990]

Like in real life, mortals are easy to lure into evil organizations with promises of power, forbidden knowledge, vengeance, and whatnot. During Cataclysm, thousands joined the Twilight's Hammer, either out of fear or personal gain. There were also N'zoth cultists during BfA, and the Cult of the Damned re- emerged during the Shadowlands pre- patch.

[@MD-ee2fq]

One of my favourite zones in terms of quests and looks. Blizz did a great job with that one

[@danielgibson3422]

I'd say all 4 turned out great this time around. usually I always have a zone I dislike or a list of quests I dread redoing on alts, but this time I honestly don't have any nits to pick which makes me very happy.

[@VoiceOfTheEmperor]

I seriously felt like I was on the open steppes of Mongolia.

[@Robin...222]

LOL

[@beastmaster0934]

I mean, the Centaur ARE based off the Mongolian people. So it ain’t really that surprising that the place they’d live in would resemble the Mongolian steppes.

[@kilan4978]

Ngl I would rather have had a deep dive into the green dragonflight rather than a new storyline with the centaur. Every other flight was the centerpiece of their own storyline but the Greens were overshadowed by the centaurs, here's hoping that this decision was made because a future patch will focus solely on the green dragonflight, and with the new Ysera questline I think that will be the case

[@AbigatorM]

as much as i dont have big interrest in wow anymore. its nice to see the lore videos again ^^

[@thepurplebox380]

The reintroduction of the Centaur as an ancient race creates opportunities to explore the Magnataur as a related species.

[@apacalypsagon3758]

Yeah I honestly can't stop thinking about the white scars throughout this video.

[@KaldonisPondo]

It just clicked within me that Merithra's voice actress also voices Avatar Kyoshi

[@pixiemix5895]

I love the side quests in this zone so much. Nothing beats the ducks

[@Marquez.Pharms]

This new background about the centaur. Where is it coming from? I did the quests In Ohn'ahran and read them. No quest talked about how they got there.

[@stormstrider1990]

Nice seeing more of Merithra. There's a lot of story potential, and her model is cute.

[@SampoPaalanen]

I think the scars on the Night Elf might explain why they work with Primalists even though without the Arcane (and by extension) the Titans they wouldn't exist and are in fact part of the "titan's taint" as much as dragons, humans, dwarves and gnomes even more so all being descendants Titanic constructs, the Vrykul, Earthen and Mechanognomes to be exact. It's not really being who is right or not but rather getting the power to avenge Teldrassil for the Kaldorei and other personal goals for other children of the Titans.

[@stormstrider1990]

I think it's a similar deal with Koraleth as with Sira Moonwarden. Losing everything to the flames probably caused her to lose faith in Elune, but unlike Sira, she wasn't raised into undeath, and manipulated into aiding the people responsible for the tragedy. Koraleth probably spent the following years lost in despair, until the Primalists found her. They may have offered her vengeance on the Horde, but since her goal was the Emerald Dream, it makes me think she knew about the seed. Maybe she thought the Primalists could bring her family back to life.

[@harrycoleman7854]

Would love the centaur to become playable at somepoint could picture a centaur death knight would be badass

[@monkeysk8er33]

It's so funny to me how people get mad about species origin lore being recontextualized to give them new origin dates or locations, being completely ignorant to the fact that that happens in real life, so is very plausible.

[@aster4jaden]

Although i'm happy we are finally getting more Centaur Lore, in this case I wished they'd used the Magnataur instead.

[@rokka7188]

I love the music of Ohn'ara and the centaur here. Much better than Classic Centaur in my opinion.

[@DemonMaluMintus]

One of my fav zones

[@geoffok]

Surprised Blizzard didn't decide all the worshipped spirits on Azeroth, like Ohn'ahra, were actually agents of Denathrius.

[@cultistofdarkness1661]

Is the audio choppy, it doesn't chop when I rewind but it's the only video I get choppy on

[@Parkesview]

How does the timeline work? Because I thought the Dragon Isles had been abandoned before the War of the Ancients?

[@Nobbel87]

Nah afaik the timeline works like this: War of the Ancients plays out - Centaur fight - World wins - Land is sundered Centaur guided by Ohn ara to the dragonisles, waterwalking buff or maybe just before the conclussion of the war The dragon isles drained of their magic/elements caus of the sundering. Dragons fly out to heal the world. Shut off the lights in the hopes of one day isles will reawaken. This is supported by the intro cutscene they did. The world is sundered Alexstraza says and they fly out to go to its aid.

[@eruanned.9687]

We already know what happens with the seeds.... check wowhead.. some rushed their renown :D

[@germgoblin5313]

"how could there be that there were centaurs on the dragon isles" Cause blizzard went on record saying the old centaur were racist tropes so they wanted to remake them lmao

[@James-kv3ll]

You realize how strong Tirra would have had to be to knock Merithra out of the sky be herself? Jesus

[@spacejunk2186]

I get the feeling the writers don't quite understand how long of a time ten thousand years is.

[@TheSquareheadgamer]

So the two centaurs groups just happened to develop the same culture despite being isolated from one another.....

[@marcusblackwell2372]

Perhaps it was knowledge of each group passed down from generation to generation

[@TheSquareheadgamer]

@Marcus Blackwell I guess if we get some story that a small fraction of the old centaur survived long enough it vaguely works. But they need to invent so many footnotes and amendments to justify the Centaur. It's a relatively minor change, adding a new origin to the Centaur but it does feel really lazy imo

[@TheSquareheadgamer]

@Eodyn7 no I'm really not

[@spacejunk2186]

For 10000 years, no less. This makes little sense if you think about it. Just think of what we have forgotten in less than 2000.

[@TheLun4tic]

Or maybe these Centaur were sent back to a time before the war of the ancients... I wonder by whom :D

[@nikolasoc9595]

Did you like the Emerald Gardens storyline? I personally hated it, mostly because it ended up being completely pointless.

[@Graavigala85]

yooo Nobbel my man... Tyr has same voice as the evil NZoth... sooooooooo...

[@lucasjleandro]

I only care about Warcraft because of you bro, Lok'tar Ogar

[@DaWoWzer]

they should have just made a new race instead of destroying decades established centaur lore, like was that really necessary?

[@michelfraenkel4920]

Brrrrrrlllll

[@MrOrcshaman]

Gonna be honest, I found the centaur lore in dragonflight to be the most boring and forgettable lore in a long time. I mean shadowlands had frustrating lore retcons, but at least it wasn't boring like the centaur lore here. And I hate that since I love centaur in fiction, one of my fav mythical races

[@ASpaceOstrich]

They're kind of a better version of Tauren lore tbh.

[@MrOrcshaman]

@@ASpaceOstrich not really, I like tauren lore, that has some spice.

[@oEDLIo]

The centaur are the most boring part of DF. They look weird, they drop a bunch of name you'll never care to memorize and the overall story is boring as hell.

[@spikedemon42]

Green dragons are so boring lol

[@MalonzeProductionsGaming]

I dont get how a race built on physical strength has only females in charge. Every tribe except for ofc the villians has a female khan. If blizzard wants equality then make it half and half. Keep the deaf chick i like her. But the shaman or that side tribe at the end shouldve had some males in leadership too.
