The Story of Farseer Nobundo - Part 1 of 2 [Lore]

[@heartless2147]

1:10 The Draenei ship was named the Genedar, the Orcs were the ones to call it Oshu'gun because they thought it was a mountain.

[@gabrielpaulino9701]

FUN FACT: when Blizzard translated WoW to portuguese they changed his name to "Nobambo", since "Nobundo" sounds like "in the ass" in portuguese.

Hello everyone.

[@Dom_1130]

Much love Nobbel, your videos are such a treat to watch

[@insecdroid]

I would love it so much if you did a lore video on The War of the Ancients. I finally finished the trilogy this past week and loved it.

[@bruxxcam2618]

Heya Nobbel! You my bro are the cure to my anxiety. When i work and go to sleep i repeat your videos to chill and concentrate. Thank you for that. I would like to ask you if you can do a short lore video on King Terenas Menethil II. I noticed that nobody did it and i would like to know more about him. Thanks

[@Labrador1205]

This reminds me to read the Unbroken short story again. Such a good read

[@VIKINGRAGEQUIT]

Farseer Nobundo is the most slept on Shaman in the lore. I wish there were more notable Draenei shaman in the lore.

[@VIKINGRAGEQUIT]

When I put together my transmog, it centered around the question, what would a Draenei Shaman look like? A simple question with alot of room for personal interpretation. My interpretation attempts to blend Shaman tier sets with armour pieces that are reminiscent of the plate woren by a Draenei paladin, typically decorated with purple jewels and engraved with runic markings along elegantly beveled edges of each piece. Seeing as paladins are warriors of the light, and the light also an integral part of Draenei culture, it seem like a natural source to draw inspiration. The story of Farseer Nobundo and the Krokul(the Broken) were also a large source of inspiration for my transmog. What if a Draenei had accepted the teaching and gift of the elements but still held on to Draenei teachings ,culture and traditions? What would that look like?

[@thepurplebox380]

So if Velen goes to the Shadowlands, could he meet himself? How about Grom? WoD screwed up so much.

[@fracke7588]

well since alternate universe velen killed himself in the cinematic we saw in WoD he probably went to alternate universe shadowlands which means that our velen will not meet himself.

[@HavocHounds1988]

His soul would merge with that of the one that is already present, same with Grom.

[@HavocHounds1988]

@@fracke7588 There is no alternate Shadowlands. In an interview with Steve Danuser he made it pretty evident that all versions of a soul are connected to that one being's soul. He compared them to a rope, where you can unravel a rope and have it's individual strands but they are all still a part of that same rope. And eventually all of the versions of one's soul will become one again, a single solid rope.

[@fracke7588]

@@HavocHounds1988 I guess that makes sense. Although he basically redefined alternate universe

[@HavocHounds1988]

@Angello Rivera-Hurtado Wrathion helped as well. It was partly his idea. This was explained in the alpha of Legion when Wrathion was disguised as Ebonhorn, but then that whole thing was changed. And the Infinite Dragon Flight along with Warlord Zaela also aided in breaking Garrosh free from his trial and sending him back in time. Also, it wasn't Kairoz' power that did it, it was a specific artifact that he used that enabled him to do this.

[@ismount]

This was fantastic. I was completely enthralled for the entire video. Makes me want to play a draenei.

[@Mister_Facepalm]

I just started playing a Draenei Shaman, good timing!

[@MissDanaSophia]

May the Light bless you with fun times!!!

[@Zach-sx8cm]

oh man.... first Tirion and now youre doing my favorite character ever?! feels like Christmas came earlier. love you, Nob

[@ChatBot1337]

I remember the story of Nobundo, the Broken, and the sacking of Shattrath from the site during BC. Always liked his story. Sad I missed this video for a week before seeing pt2 show up.

[@unlicensedyoutubecommenter6493]

So much depth of lore with the broken. Would’ve preferred them infinitely more than the lightforged as an allied race. Also would’ve been great to have different classes like rogues and warlocks with the Draenei model/rig for them.

[@sushionaram]

Has anyone told you how incredibly badass you are, friend? Because it sounds like you're absolutely killing it in that department 💙

[@Kaminkaese]

I was just about to go to bed... To Bad, the bed has to wait.

[@Zach-sx8cm]

Nobbel is a little extra sing-songy on that intro. I read the short story so I can’t blame him for being excited for this one.

[@zegenlight3505]

So that's how the Draenei learned how to wield the elements. I've always wondered thanks noble89 you've answered a question I thought about when Draenei came to the game.

[@ghostwriter1440]

Nobundo is basically a saint. I loved his character arc in the short story unbroken!

[@Nina-gs8rr]

I love the short story, Unbroken. It's the reason I main a draenei shaman 😄 (so in legion having him being an errand boy in the class hall was a wtf moment for me). Great vid and thanks for telling this story Nobbel!!!

[@moch.farisdzulfiqar6123]

Lol, he got demoted so hard after the Cataclysm

[@KyuuStormsoul]

I love that you used the avatar symbols for the elements in the thumbnail

[@CristianButa1]

Watching these videos is like watching fillers of a very cool anime.

[@MidnightWanderer]

19:16 Damn...I almost forgot they actually went 'there' in this story... then again its a common (yet deplorable and inexcusable) occurrence during war...especially when occupying an opposing civilian area.

[@Cronoo]

One of the best stories in Warcraft

[@fadeaway3716]

Nobundo's backstory is one of my favourites.

[@kroneexe]

So undead can use the light but broken draenei can't?

[@Murphio25]

Yes, because thats the significance of being "broken". Undead on the other hand are just affected differently than the living.

[@joezar33]

I actually hate that , because isn't *The Light* Allegroy for God in the Warcraft universe ? The lights like : "yeah yall are ugly now , so I don't want anything too do with you" that beyond messed up and truly makes no sense

[@patrickb1303]

As long as they get all 6 dragon balls they can just wish everyone back.

[@ConnorNotyerbidness]

Anyone else initially read it as Nintendo at a glance and think Nobbel was branching out again like when he lets played Legend of Zelda?

[@bryceanglin876]

Thank you for making a video on one of my favorite characters! One of my biggest wishes is to get the broken (especially the updated models from Argus) as an allied race but I dont think it's going to happen. Still love Nobundo tho!

[@Spippie_Sugarfuse]

Red mist - exists Nobundo finds this no bueno

[@c.d.dailey8013]

Wow. Drenai are my favorite race except for elves. It is interesting to learn about thier orgion story and voyages. In more recent times, I learned about the cosmology. There are six major elements. There is nature, holy, fire, death, shadow and arcane. Arcane and fire are polar opposites. They are places on opposite sides of the cosmology. So since they are opposite, they would be enemies. This gives a lot of context to orgion stories for both Drenei and orcs. The demons are associated with the fire element. as well as chaos. They started out being just an unstructured mass. The titans on the other hand are associated with the arcane element, as well as order. They are the deities that formed the universe of Warcraft. Since the titans and the demons are opposites, they are enemies. One of the Titans was Sargaras. He tried fighting against the demons, but he was currupted by them instead. Then he lead the demons and called it the buring legion. Sargaras curupted Archamond and Kil Jaden of the drenei. He also currupted Guldan of the orcs. Sargaras does show the conflict of the fire and arcane pair. Fortunatly Velen helped the drenai escape. They eventually crash in Azaroth and the drenai starting quest moves from here. Nobundo is a new character for me. I find his story deeply moving.

[@tobihs2519]

DUDE! When i was first reading the novel... i was crying when i read about the things orcs did when they invaded shattrath city =(

[@williamst.germain3394]

Never been first before. Always enjoy your vids good sir. Draenai for the win!

[@williamst.germain3394]

In all seriousness though Nabundo is a hell of a Draenai/Broken. To remain strong through his hardship. Hes stronger than any of the Draenai that did him wrong.

[@Moffles0919]

Are dranei feeding their souls to the light once they die? That’s what auchindoun seems like it was plus nobundo wondering what would happen to his soul now that the light left him.

@@MissDanaSophia I was talking about Nobundo specifically.

I write a story about the Draenei visiting a world of nature magic before Draenor, and as a result, their Naaruu get enough rest for a safe landing and their people learn Shamanism hundreds of years sooner.

You left out the part how the elements were responsible for clearing the mental fog which eventually would drive all broken into becoming lost ones.

[@ITSecurityFTW]

Small tweak. Since it's a disease it's biological warfare, and not chemical warfare. Otherwise awesome as always.

[@shadowgamer4306]

Can you please explain the difference between biological and chemical warfare?😀

[@LDaemontus]

@@shadowgamer4306 It's pretty easy. Biological implies that biological components are used such as the creation of manmade viruses to weaken down societies. Examples include militaries tossing their dead over enemy lines in the hopes to spread and cause various infections. Other variants also include taking advantage of diseases in general for war, profit, scientific progression. Chemical implies chemical components, such as metals, acids and anything that can be made to cause harm like Agent Orange. However, there can be components of both within something, in which case the red pox was originally designed for biological warfare but was altered via chemicals (fel magic) later on to inflict damage on the Draenei.
