The History of the Tomb of Sargeras [Lore Video]

[@Warre_H]

You deserve way more subs.

[@VoidTracks]

The production quality on this is insane. Happy I found this channel, keep up the great work.

[@AmMonki2]

This channel produces such high quality content it's ridiculous they have such a low sub count.

[@sondrelervik2747]

The low sub count is because of the low quantity of content, not the quality. You dont grow much when you release 10-15 min of content every 3 weeks. Thats just how youtube works sadly

[@Gaddish]

These videos are so crimally underwatched, it seriously needs more views

[@Gohrek]

Such an underrated channel.

[@ew5971]

Great vid. I'm a big fan of the sort of preamble style, definitely reinforces the idea that the story isn't over. It reminds me somewhat of the mission overviews from the old Medal of Honor games. Top notch.

[@nolikita]

Your videos are so good and so high-quality, you should have soooooooo much more subs :c

[@tiagop.6492]

Blizzard should hire you to always make a videos like this before a raid. Much, much better than just reading a raid journal. Great work!

[@TheLostCodex]

Honesty doing that for the Warcraft team would be a dream come true!

[@kappaclysm4278]

Stunning visuals along with great story telling and lore building as always with a neat twist of preparing us for the tomb. Keep up the great work!

[@hundolin9447]

1. You should get paid for this. 2. The effort put into this video. The art, the music, the storytelling approach to lore information. It's great. 3. You deserve more subs. It's depressing to see such a low sub ammount

[@RavenclawSeer]

Your video edits and open book format are amazing! Your videos are radiant!

[@TheLostCodex]

Glad you like the "codex" format. We're playing around with a new type of format for a new series but we don't plan to get rid of the Codex. Works well for long histories and events!

[@RavenclawSeer]

I guess I should have explained. The animations and models are what I absolutely love. But please keep the codex. Maybe for an added effect at the start have a magic quill or arcane sigil make the first object appear?

[@TheLostCodex]

Oh, derp! I took 'open book' format as our literal codex format hahaha. A quill would be a neat idea if we could find a decent model for one! Will keep in mind :D

[@RavenclawSeer]

And thank you so much for taking the time to reply and hear me out! :) I'm an artist you see so I really appreciate your open book and your videos!

[@Huskred1]

An excellent job you've done here, Jesse and Jeffrey, as always. First class entertainment.

[@skirdus367]

production value = 👌 great work as always!! my only gripe is that you left out maiev and illidan's involvement during wc3

[@TheLostCodex]

Definitely intentional with that plotline. Script was getting WAY too long. I decided I would talk about that story, along with their return to the Cathedral of Eternal night, in a future episode!

[@skirdus367]

ah, alright!

[@Saintsrow2322]

Why hasn't Blizzard hired you yet?

[@TheLostCodex]

Not sure! We wouldn't be opposed ;)

[@amateurhour6807]

bombkirby there are 2 of them behind the channel

[@DruidsoftheBeastShadowsong]

Your videos rule! It's clear you've spent a lot of time on this. It looks absolutely wonderful!

[@TheWoWMagician]

Been wondering where you have been! Great video as always!

[@Shadowsfromwithin13]

Seriously...How does your channel not have a million+ subs?!! That was fantastic! 1000/10!

[@TheLostCodex]

Only a year a bit old :) In due time, hopefully :D

[@Shadowsfromwithin13]

Ah. Well that makes sense. Loving your content by the way! I can't wait for the next codex entry!

[@Aeix7]

Great video as usual guys! Honestly the best lore videos on YT. Most accurate and amazing production value. Huge fan since 100 subs!! Question: Do you guys think that after the fight with Sargaras’ Avatar and the guardian’s corruption. Sargaras influenced her to bury the Avatar there? With the power in the temple and how close it was to the well of eternity I think he would pick there as a good place. As well as the titan machinery inside. Just a thought let me know what you think!!

[@Tracks777]

I look forward to more videos.Keep it up!

[@its3bood]

you have a golden voice, great job and keep going

[@KayossSZ]

ToS has shaped up to be an awesome raid so far (my group just made it to Kil'jaeden last night, and the introduction to that was pretty epic). This video would be an amazing introduction to it. Blizz should really put this one on the launcher just like they did with the Nighthold one.

[@KevinRCMan]

That ending was like a debriefing of what we'll encounter before we go to war. Made the video 1000 times cooler.

[@TheLostCodex]

When we did our 'History of the Suramar and the Nighthold", I wrote it as a 'Military debriefing in Dalaran' which was something I had never done before. All our other videos were 'in character' but this was obviously more focused. We took a gamble with it and people loved the layout for the last video so we knew months ago that our Tomb episode was going to be a direct continuation of our Nighthold video and done in the same format. You can expect this same sort of format for the next raid ;)

[@thomasaugustto]

MY GOD, YOU'RE REALLY REALLY GOOD! The animation, the art, the lore checks, all perfect. Congratulations, you definitely deserve way more viewers and subscribers! I wish I could contribute in any way to boost your views.

[@TheLostCodex]

Share with your family, friends, enemies, guildmates and any nearby imprisoned demons! We've had people share us on reddit and we've jumped several thousands subs over night. So every share, no matter where, counts!

[@thomasaugustto]

I'm on it, sir!

[@shinozukaeu3197]

More videos! Missed you man! Great job and good work.

[@FinalBossTV]

My boys doing Glob's work.

[@lukee_9312]

This is so amazing! Such a great quality channel! Great content, keep it up !

[@XXcrashXXBandii]

I thank you god for making me bored and click random videos, that led me to this great Channel. You sir deserve much more, I wish you best! Amazing video with such high quality content. Thank you for your hard work :D

[@Tracks777]

Awesome video,Keep it up!

[@loganketterling1974]

Been following your videos since you guys started out! Loving every video! Great work guys!

[@QuestText]

Man the production on this video is amazing, totally earned a sub today :D

[@TheLostCodex]

Welcome to the family :D

[@thehound9370]

you put alot of work om it , you dont deserve a single dislike ty so much

[@zaharya]

I've seen this video on reddit/r/wow and in couple of days I've watched every video on your channel! You guys are amazing! Best WoW storytelling! Hope you get more subs and earn some money to do these videos more often! Cheers!

[@Tracks777]

Great content. Keep it up!

[@malphasblackwing420]

The fact that this channel has so few subs is BLASPHEMOUS!

[@kaloqnmihailov5684]

Great quality video as always keep them coming!

[@chefRyan38]

Such quality work, I await your next video with bated breath.

[@ricardoescobar4917]

Yo! Love your videos! Been watching since you first left your card! It's Ricardo the guy who helped you with the sunscreen in your eyes! You ever need anything let me know!! Keep up the awesome work!:)

[@TheLostCodex]

MY MAN, Ricardo! You were a Godsend today with that eye solution. Really helped with the second pass- eyes feeling much better! Lost Codex would've had a one-eyes director without you so I'm grateful for the help. Glad you're enjoying the videos, dude. Was great meeting you and I hope you can eventually get to to blizzcon. The website LFblizzcon.com is a trust worthy website for people wanting to sell their tickets! Check and out and let us know if you make it! Thanks again, Brother!

[@YouTikki]

This is so well done! Great work! :DD

[@HipnosWorld]

Ooooh boy!

[@TheLostCodex]

@HipnosWorld This guy RIGHT HERE^^^^^

[@Djune]

This is so fucking well done I cannot believe Blizzard doesn't contact you in any way. This should be in the battle.net launcher and should be an introduction for the raid.

[@TheLostCodex]

We're definitely on Blizzard's radar. One of us actually just had a meet up with some of their team not to long ago and they've featured us on the launcher back in January. Hopefully more in due time :)

[@Sk_Et]

G'damn man these are so cool, love your work

[@Tracks777]

I look forward to more videos

[@voidul4748]

very Nice video! many thanks after a hard day of work, this relaxing me.

[@blackflamingosaint]

Amazing videos! Keep up the good work!

[@Tracks777]

Nice video!

[@Tracks777]

Awesome video

[@PeterPakalnis]

Glorious as always :O

[@Tracks777]

I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!

[@Crazybull20]

amazing video dude!

[@SkellingtonZen]

Yes! Finally, new content! This is amazing!!!

[@TheLostCodex]

Longest episode to date 😣Took just under four weeks to make.

[@SkellingtonZen]

The Lost Codex Wow it definitely did take you guys sometime, but the results are amazing!! Keep it up! :D

[@5133937]

Really well done.

[@bullet3602]

wow great video dude!

[@Alexanderiii]

Subscribed. Very Impressed.

[@Tracks777]

Great stuff :)

[@tubetorius]

I FREAKING love your videos! Keep it up!

[@thyagobrod]

This is fantastic.

[@ziros22]

Keep Hammering Social media, you could be as big as Nobbel soon!

[@TheLostCodex]

Twitter, Facebook, patreon, twitch! ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIAS!

[@MPAustin]

Blizz definitely needs to hire you to do some of their content.

[@PabloEsc666]

i love it, really cool, you should make these videos under the name of blizz, because quality is amazing

[@TheLostCodex]

That would be amazing :D

[@Tracks777]

I enjoyed your video :) Keep it up!

[@kossadi6501]

How did you get a clean music track starting on 14:44? I'm looking for it literally since the moment of announcement of Legion.

[@TheLostCodex]

This WAS tricky to find. I scoured every damn Legion soundtrack, even the ones that were datamined but never made it into game and never found it. I happened across it by searching "Wow legion music announcement" and sure enough there it was. Link here :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJeylIOejs-tY7M&t=44

[@kossadi6501]

Indeed, sometimes the best solution is an easiest one! I bow with gratitude. Have to say: your channel's content is a history brought alive! Which is always immensely pleasant.

[@amateurhour6807]

great video once again!

[@Falc089]

Amateur Hour you too.

[@lithium519]

Best one to date !

[@BrokenSofa]

Great videos as always 😄 love that you make them a bit longer 👍

[@TheLostCodex]

This one was definitely fun to make! Only downside was that it took a whole month out of production time which isn't ideal for making consistent content. So definitely won't have every video this length.

[@megamantrinity]

One word: Incredible. You have collected all the info, and laid it out perfectly. 10/10.

[@TheLostCodex]

Much obliged!

[@dtps_champion6016]

Your videos are stunningly well made. subbed

[@Omilogic]

I love these videos. since i watched the one about Xalatath i instantly subbed. as a shadow priest i tip my hat to you my friend, that video was excellent.

[@Lupinemancer87]

Still good, as always!

[@ventsislavdimitrov9350]

nice effects :)

[@Loorny]

Hey there I love your videos and I wanted to say I really admire your work. So keep it up. Just one question though. Between Gul'dans first visit and second. Didn't Illidan go there to fetch the Eye of Sageras aswell as skull ? I remember it because of the Warcraft 3 campaign. Illidan used the eye to try and shatter the frozen throne. Did I miss something ?

[@TheLostCodex]

You didn't miss a thing! Initially, the first script did have Illidan and Maiev Shadowsong 's WC3 campaign in it. We decided to cut it for a few reasons: first, this video was already getting way too long. As much as love making 16 minute long videos, this took a whole month of production time which isn't ideal for making consistent content. The second reason was because I had enough written about it that I decided I might save it for a future 'untold chapter' episode. I plan to incorporate the Warcraft 3 Mission, Maiev's hunt for Illidan and their team up in the upper part of the Tomb in the Cathedral of Eternal night for a whole video. Not sure when that'll happen, but we cut it with the expectation we'll come back to it!

[@jerry1dc]

Another top notch quality video ty

[@MyMano101]

Very nice video bro, one more subscriber for you. What the name of the music who starts at 14:45?

[@Dovahnuke]

Kodac I know I’m 4month late but that’s legion’s main theme used in most cinematics

[@AstraleStar]

Okay but like How am I JUST now discovering your channel? These videos are top notch. I enjoy listening to lore videos while animating. ;3 Subscroobed

[@Dovahnuke]

Although I love your vids and think blizzard should hire you...there’s one thing I have to point out. You skipped 2 major plot events that happened there during the first guldan going there and the second guldan. First event (and probably less known by people) is when Maim and Rend Blackhand went there with a death knight (soulsomething forgot his name not really an important character) and a few warriors to retrieve the skull of guldan in the aftermath of the second war to take it to Nerzhul so that he could use it to open portals to different worlds and this lead to deathwing taking the skull when he went to outland with his flight being slaughtered by khadgar turalyon and some other humans with the aid of the gronns. This lead to the kirin tor retrieving the skull sending it with a wildhammer through the dark portal with other artifact as the portal closed and the skull ending somehow in the hands of the legion during the third war and illidan retrieving it and taking it’s powers for himself which leads us to the second event where illidan absorbing the skull got guldan’s memories including those of the tomb and decided to go there with the help of the naga to get the eye of sargeras and use it to help him defeat the lich king later. There he was followed by none other that Maiev Shadowsong and he basically collapsed the temple on her troops and she had to leave Naisha behind to die. (Naisha is a wq boss there too and was supposed to be one of the 3 sisters) but all this would’ve made the video significantly longer so I can get why you would want to skip it but it’s still additional information if people want it :)

[@TheLostCodex]

Much of those plot lines (Retrieval of the skull, Deathwings battle with Khadgar, Guldan skull ending up in the Legions hand and Maievs whole plot with the Tomb) were trimmed out or put aside since the video was already going 12 mins +. We will definitely cover those plot lines in more relevant stories (Alliance expedition to Outland or Maiev’s storyline). We’ll get there eventually! But thanks for the highlights! Helpful for anyone who doesn’t want to wait for us to get to those plots!

[@Dovahnuke]

The Lost Codex well you could use it to make a video about the alliance expedition since we just met Alleria and Turalyon back and maybe tie it to the new audio novel. But anyway whatever you do I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. Your videos are of very high quality. Keep it up!

[@al.c.1525]

wow this is great like diablo story telling mixed with starcraft campaign movie

[@polishheavies8205]

@11:53 was that the image ofN'zoth

[@Maniaman213]

Hope they link this one to the launcher as well, you guys need the exposure.

[@TheLostCodex]

Fingers crossed!

[@TwinerJack]

Wow this is incredibly well done! So entertaining to listen and watch! BLIZZARD HIRE THIS MEN! P. S. Yes, edited :)

[@TheLostCodex]

Hire these men** :D!

[@TwinerJack]

Yes sir! This men! I'm new to the channel and I've just learned that there is two of you guys doing this amazing job! Please, keep it up! Blizzard will definitely notice like they did it few times before :)

[@Osmaism]

Never clicked on a video so fast!

[@djodjekg81]

Lost codex for life 👑👑👑🔰🔰🔰

[@harbingerjent2575]

Great video. Have you cover the story , how medivh got corrupted? Your accent sounds like Canadian

[@TheLostCodex]

Not yet. Medivh's story isn't something we've covered yet. Soon though! And is it that obvious? >.>....

[@harbingerjent2575]

Nice! Looking forward for it. Yes it was, When you pronounced "out" differently and some other words then i just knew you are Canadian .

[@Foodmaybeexpert]

I thought blizzard made this video but damn son

[@45D3RP0W4]

7:36 do we have two moons?

[@TheLostCodex]

Aye! Ones called White Lady and the other called the Blue Child!

[@45D3RP0W4]

Oh, didn't know about that, thanks! Also the glitch at 15:07 is a nice touch, good work! :D

[@TheLostCodex]

Producers last second choice on that ;) Very glad he went with it!

[@Dymm2454]

How is this so high quality, yet so little subs and views.

[@TheLostCodex]

Hopefully more in due time :)

[@everynamealreadytake]

Not gonna lie,m that was kinda awesome

[@sorcell9]

I would love to see the fight between Aegwyn and Sargeras

[@TheLostCodex]

We may touch back on Aegwynn's fight with Sargeras in an episode dedicated to her, but we did touch on it here and in the episode with Aluneth. But when we start character summaries and get to her, we won't forget to include such a critical moment :)

[@sorcell9]

The Lost Codex I actually meant I would love to have been there during the fight or see it in a cinamatic or something. A truly epic fight to watch

[@Ash-qd2ke]

What is this? Another Lore Master? Come my friends and subscribe to this man!

[@carolmalone8579]

woot!!!! over 16 mins too😘😘😘😘

[@TheLostCodex]

[@MMPK1000]

I never comment on shit. But this was VERY well made.

[@rossboisvert6288]

blizzard hire this man!

[@TheLostCodex]

These men** We're a team of two ;)

[@rossboisvert6288]

You both do amazing work!

[@TheLostCodex]

[@alby270496]

While it’s fascinating to learn that Kel’thuzard’s Phalactry may have been King Terranis’s urn ⚱️, I have to point out that Kel’thuzard never died (had his phalactry destroyed) during WOTLK, and then found worthy of Maldruxxus while so many other Ice crown raid bosses were resurrected during the death rising campaign, wouldn’t it be more logical to say that Kel’thuzard found a way to infiltrate maldraxxus and lied in wait ever since

[@monkpawfire]

why dont you have more subs like wtf look at this quality

[@TheLostCodex]

[@faerieprince6539]

So was the Tidestone of Gol already at this point shattered? Because in the art it is whole; however, Queen Azshara shattered it and I am confused as to where and when the events with Farondis happened in this timeline.

[@TheLostCodex]

Great question! This was something we struggled with timeline was but here’s the conclusion we came to: The Suramar Highborne used the pillars to seal the Legions second portal within the Temple (now known as the Tomb of Sargeras). After this, the Pillars were sent across the surrounding region (possibly to prevent the Legion from focusing in on their Vault of Antiquities) and the Tidestone was sent to Nar’Thalas. From there, Farondis tried to use the tidestone to destroy the Well of Eternity and shut down the Legions main gateway. He was the betrayed by someone in his court, Azshara was warned and she went to Azsuna and completely shattered it and destroyed the surrounding region. It’s a little wonky

[@gorthaur3800]

Its Felstorm, not Fel Breach :P

[@TheLostCodex]

There's a few times it referred to as "the Breach". Original script had it named "Felstorms breach" but i wasn't liking how it sounded! So we changed it slightly.

[@bonefetcherbrimley7740]

Subbededed.

[@araposkulo]

I still don't understand how did "our" KJ know that the "alternate" Archimonde send "alternate" Gul'Dan to "our" Azeroth?

[@TheLostCodex]

Great question! There is no "alternate Archimonde" or "alternate Legion" for that matter. Archimonde, KJ and the Legion transcend all realities and exist as a single multi-verse threat. The Archimonde we faced on Draenor was the same we stopped at Hyjal. The only "alternate" figure involved was Gul'dan.

[@araposkulo]

The Lost Codex I thought that the tweet announcing that was "just a joke bruh". I guess I missdd the update Thanks for the heads up

[@TheLostCodex]

As far as I know, it was serious and intentional! An infinite number of Legions would mean game-over for us in a heart beat!

[@Aleris21]

What about Illidan going into the Tomb in WC3?

[@TheLostCodex]

Intentionally skipped actually! Maiev and Illidans story in WC3 had a decent enough content in our script when we were already way over our "time budget" in terms on video length. I made the choice to cut their mention with the intent to have a Maiev/Illidan tomb story that features both their WC3 story and their adventures in the Cathedral of Eternal night!

[@Aleris21]

Cool. Great vid as always. Love your channel :)

[@TheLostCodex]

[@MrZdrastvuite]

I rav u

[@garstoth]

You skipped over a chunk of what happened in Warcraft 3.

[@TheLostCodex]

Intentionally skipped actually! Maiev and Illidans story in WC3 had a decent enough content in our script when we were already way over our "time budget" in terms on video length. I made the choice to cut their mention with the intent to have a Maiev/Illidan tomb story that features both their WC3 story and their adventures in the Cathedral of Eternal night.

[@shunyaku7759]

Good stuff, but you use the word horror too often. It doesn't really do much good to refer to every last enemy in such a way; no perspective change is felt between even Xavius and Sargeras himself, the way things are presented. Surely, if the Tomb is meant to horrify me, the Emerald Nightmare might only be a concern?
