Good evening, explorers of new and old! Allow me to present to you 'The Lore of The Barrens,' a timeless classic that will forever be a part of many heroes' journeys through Kalimdor. While creating this entry, I felt an obligation to grant poor old Mankrik the well-deserved peace and relief from the quilboar as I stood before him once more. Enjoy!

[@Veer-wc5lb]

These are great and nostalgic brother.

[@podsvinokSatani]

I asked you in the comments on a previous video about making a The Barrens video, thanks for listening to us. ❤

[@CreamyPesto505]

Telling Mankrik's full story was a fantastic addition.

[@HasegawaRayven]

​@@CreamyPesto505 that section was really weird to listen to having just recently revisited "You Awaken In Razor Hill"

[@Colancio]

If I need to call a fantasy world home, I'd say it's wow classic barrens. I feel at peace there.

When the chats so good you don't even wanna leave the zone despite needing to someday

[@Theexprominence]

LFG WC

[@THEDonnyB]

The fact that they cut the zone in half and both were the size of two normal zones just shows how massive pre cata barrens was.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Much like Stranglethorn Vale! Massive zones in their own right.

[@trinity1242]

Can you never stop making these please lol literally stunning work 👏

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Thank you dear traveler! I'm not nearly done with this channel, we've only just begun!

[@chetaioo]

Ah, The Barrens. I remember leveling my tauren hunter as a teen back in 2008 during the original TBC. The music, the ambience, the quests...loved it all. I would stay there for as long as I possibly could. I would even return to the zone to finish some quests I wasn't able to at lower levels. I had so much fun revisiting the zone as an orc shaman recently in WotLK classic. Thank you for this video. Your narration is legendary.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Apologies for the belated reply! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the video! The Barrens is indeed a zone full of memories. What's one quest or memory, besides the infamous search for Mankrik's wife, that stands out the most for you?

[@chetaioo]

​@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth thanks for the reply! I would definitely say the quillboar quests! ( Consumed by hatred)

[@crabbyjones597]

Chuck Norris stepped into the barrens and all the quests were completed.

[@Joe_Potts]

I found your channel with the Murloc video, and I think I am addicted to your Attenborough-esque narration style. Azeroth Nature/History Documentaries for each zone I LOVE IT!!!!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Awesome, thank you! Be very welcome!

[@greendalf123]

Durotar, Mulgore, Barrens - so many memories for me. Excellent video

[@SteveWonderBread]

I truly respect and envy the hardcore horde players who are stuck in this desert for like 20 or so levels. Really makes me think about how much of a luxury ally leveling is. Pre cata barrens is just so timeless though. Great video as always.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

You can quite literally feel their shared struggle with the land. We have it good in Elwynn Forest and Redrige Mountains :) Thanks for your support, Jame!

[@Quick-Silver206]

My next orc is going to level through the Undead starting zones cuz my god. There's only so much desert I can take.

[@SquareViking]

I'll add a bit to the trauma: Shaman water totem quest. My very first character.

[@THEFINALHAZARD]

I guess I’m a weird one then that actually likes the barrens experience!

[@osseym9580]

The barrens is one of my favorite zones, thanks for making this video!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

My pleasure!

[@LucasGualbertoSilva]

Please, please make one of these for every zone/dungeon/raid. Great text, great narration, voice fits perfectly. Binge watched every video of this series, amazing work. Cheers from a fellow Lore geek from Brazil

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

That's great to hear! Thanks for your support and greetings to Brazil!

[@lachye.w2937]

I literally just rolled a Tauren in WOTLK classic and have only just finished my first adventure through the barrens and loved every second of it. Honestly it has given me so much joy to see this video brought to life. Thank you and well done 🙏🏻❤️

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Nice work! Good luck in classic WOTLK!

[@Joini50]

Man I miss the old days ... Thanks for the upload!

The greatest general chat ever and will forever will be

[@Fatalroadie]

Lol love the Barrens chat and chuck Norris references. I had to rewind saying did he just drop BC? LMAO Bless you Loremaster! Keep these magnificent videos coming.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Thanks for joining me on this journey!

[@ZaxiD1997]

In vanilla, I don't exactly remember why. But I remember being a huge fan of the Wailing Caverns dungeon, maybe it was the more open feel compared to the more linear Deadmines, maybe it was the general vibe of the caverns, but I have many a fond memory of grinding the dungeon to collect the Druid of the Fang armor set. Excellent video and I look forward to what comes next!

[@irrelevanthero7410]

The opening music when you get to The Barrens always gives me goosebumps. Also dropping the mention of barrens chat. Mad lad. lmao

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Lol! No barrens is complete without a barrens chat! Thanks for watching!

[@Myrdden71]

I think I spent half of my 30s in the Barrens. By far my favorite zone, pre-Cata. Thanks for this wonderful nostalgia!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure!

[@TravisLaFave]

What I wouldn’t give to be a 15 year old kid, playing through “Wailing Caverns” for the first time again. Thanks for the upload and the jog down memory lane.

[@itsprudhvirazz]

this is actually what i was looking for. can't wait for the rest of the zones. I am currently doing kalimdor quests in classic. love classic quests so much.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

I'm trying to add new zones and dungeons every week!

[@Garouwerks]

This felt just like a show on PBS. Nature. Instead of Attenborough, it's the Chronicler! These are really lovely to watch and listen to. And I learn new things. Fantastic.

All duly noted, thanks! We will eventually cover them all, and some sooner than later :)

[@ulysse34190]

Hey, I do not know if this commentary will eventually be read by you, Loremaster, but I must say I really enjoy this splendid series. I am a foreigner so you have no idea how much time I spend on dissecting every little word that I cannot get through haha. This is such a good improving lesson each time a new video comes out though and even if I always considered myself bilingual, realising I still can struggle sometimes with some words is a wee bit frustrating haha. So here I am, catching myself reading outloud the subtitles as you speak and even though the videos are around 20-25 minutes, I spend the double amount of time training and repeating that lovely british accent. So thank you for that, mate. Have a good day

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Allow me to express my gratitude and return the favor by thanking you for your delightful comment. I appreciate the effort you've put into expanding your grasp of the English language. Your comment brings joy as I conclude my day, and I look forward to keeping you entertained with the upcoming entries. Cheers!

This place is so huge in classic, that it took me 3 months to do all of the quests. And I play about 30 hours per week. I really enjoy fishing and skinning as an orc hunter with my trusted black wolf pet.

[@kellyvigmostad9017]

copyright

[@FloppyDiisk]

@@kellyvigmostad9017 I thought people used it often enough without copyright issues. Maybe not if you do it for a whole video, huh? Edit: yeah people use it for lore videos

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

As AI continues to progress, it's important to consider the uses of these technologies. While replicating someone's voice may be possible, it's not necessarily the ideal application. In the case of the narrator in the Lore videos, that voice is uniquely generated, which might sound familiar but remains distinct and cannot be duplicated. This approach allows for both respecting the intellectual property of others and using AI to support the channel effectively :)

[@FloppyDiisk]

@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth Huh, well I certainly respect that stance on the issue.

[@bv3365]

Just discovered your channel and subbed str8 away! Do you plan on doing all the vanilla zones or just a select few?

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Hey, we're glad to have you on board! The idea is to cover every zone, race, dungeon and event in Classic WoW until all lore will have its own unique presentation! So we're in for a ride :)

A place of unity between the Orcs and Taurens became a place of unity for all of the Horde. For all of the hearts led through it's nuanced landscapes. And for all the hearts that passed through it by nothing more than there wit, where-with-all, and an aquired sence of humor. For those who deny this truth, may Chuck Norris have mercy on your soul
