The Story of Highmountain, Hammer of Khaz'goroth [Lore]

[@Negatigger]

And What Moo'dan Must we give in return? Everything...

[@guldan3544]

Everything ......

[@MalonzeProductionsGaming]

BUT EVERYTHING CHANGED, WHEN THE FEL-FIRE NATION ATTACKED! :D

[@guldan3544]

Everything.....

[@MalonzeProductionsGaming]

Gul'dan Wilsan, is that you? (Joke from azrothian super villans)

[@letsplaysvonaja1714]

In german that joke was a little bit funnier because he starts saying "your soul" but then he just answers "Everything!" :D (In the german cinematic the answer was "your soul")

[@giovannibenson3954]

you prolly dont care but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

@Giovanni Benson Instablaster =)

[@BFDudes]

#Ebonhorn4NewDragonAspect2016 For real though, I love Ebonhorn, definitely my favorite side character in the whole expansion so far.

[@harioschtroliki]

Brojo

[@mach4253]

I'm pretty sure Wrathion will beat you to that.

[@delsin1126]

He is my fav too

[@S3rp3rior]

When I saw the "I will call you Ebonhorn." I was like "Hey thats kind of like this guy's name-*GAAAAAASP*OH MY GOD YOURE AN UNCORRUPTED BLACK DRAGON?!?!?!?!" it was awesome XD

[@delsin1126]

S3rp3rior lol dude I felt the same.

[@Khornecussion]

Deathwing. First guy to get the banhammer in WoW.

[@TheEnmineer]

first guy to *loot the banhammer in WoW or First *[lore character] to get the banhammer in WoW

[@Khornecussion]

TheEnmineer No, actually, since this is again, before all the players got set loose on Azeroth and Metzen's Wrath was unleashed upon those that exploited Warcraft.

[@phelanii4444]

0:31 (but everything changed when the fire nation attacked) great video as always 😊

[@whywouldyoucare239]

Damnit i wanted to say that. then i checked comment section. 😂😂

[@rivh4246]

There's always someone that beats others to references in the comment section. FeelsBadMan

[@whywouldyoucare239]

Jared 42 mhm ._ .

[@Nooctae]

I don't know why, but there's something really powerful with their slogan. Together, we are Highmountain ! It rings so right.

[@princeblackelf4265]

man I loved this storyline

[@shasan2393]

One of my favorite moments in legion was the reveal of ebonhorn being another uncorrupted black dragon. I did not see that coming at all and it has amazing lore potential going fowards

[@writershard5065]

I was just sad that they decided to remove Wrathion for some unknown.

[@princeblackelf4265]

they removed Wrathion for logical reasons, he wouldn't have made any sense if he was Ebonhorn, because he was supposed to be a long trusted advisor to the nation, but Wrathion hasn't been around that long.If he had just shown up one day pretending to be the highmountain tauren nobody had ever heard of , especially during such a tumultuous time, it would have been suspicious to say the least

[@Arcling]

I hope they have some other storyline planned for Wrathion or he might have been removed due to time constraints. Perhaps they weren't able to finish a certain storyline that was supposed to show up later, just like there was a lot of stuff cut from WoD.

[@princeblackelf4265]

Oh I have little doubt that Wrathion will eventually make himself known

[@Jvcdark09]

18:59 Best reaction to this revelation lol

[@Rakinjo2]

Wrathion foresaw the coming of the Legion and sent Garrosh to Draenor, starting the chain of events that would lead to AU Gul'Dan arriving on Azeroth and opening the way for the Legion, causing the invasion that he had sought to prevent. Either Wrathion is an idiot and now hiding out of shame, or the Old Gods manipulated him into opening the way for the Legion by sending their pawn (One way or another) Garrosh to Draenor. I mean, this has now caused us to collect the five pillars of creation that are also the five keys for unleashing N'Zoth and ending the world. Fun times! Wrathion screwed us all. Perhaps it was never the intention for Deathwing to succeed. He might merely have been a distraction, or a failed attempt at brute-forcing their way out of their prisons instead of the long con that is now unfolding. If Blizzard doesn't mess this up by ignoring this potential storyline, it might be the most brilliant story they've written so far. You can basically trace the coming of the Old Gods back to the plot of Warcraft 1 if they allow this to play with. The first way, the opening of the dark portal, Garrosh being found in Outland, Illidan being recovered for some nefarious purpose, the Lich King being replaced by someone who's easier to corrupt and yet has the trust of the Horde and Alliance, the Cataclysm, the discovery of Pandaria that led to the corruption of Garrosh who was then sent to Draenor, recovering another Gul'Dan who could open the way for the Legion, finally forcing the stalwart heroes of Azeroth into a catch-22 where we either fall to the Legion, or unleash the Old Gods.

[@domagojskalec4377]

Yeah Wrathion is a fucking dumbass

[@Arcling]

I doubt this is what is going to happen since Warcraft lore has proven to be unreliable in terms of logical conclusions. Each expansion we are introduced to new or retconned stories. With current lore, Old Gods are merely a creations of Void Lords, this puts them below Sargeras, though Void Lords are still above him. If there is another Old God expansions, it would've been kinda like a filler (and Cataclysm all over again), similar to WoD, if they aren't going to introduce Void Lords themselves yet.

[@Ower8x]

Well I think there are enough hints pointing at next exp being a Old God centric one especially if you take into account the Whispers of Il'gynoth - Nobblel has a video about them. Well this would actually fit with Wrathion: "The boy Prince plays at the Masters Table" - Wrathion is by all accounts a boy and calls himself the Black Prince, so the idea that he is being manipulated/influenced by the Old Gods is not that far fetched.

[@Arcling]

Ower8x Yeah but there is always stuff that might come out of nowhere like... Pandaria or alternate Draenor. Warcraft lore has long ceased having logical conclusions based on already established knowledge, as they very often add new stuff or retcon something. How many people talked about Void Lords 1-2 years ago? None, as they didn't exist and we though Old Gods are the "mains", not creations of something above them. Anyway, wouldn't want that exp to be solely focused on Old Gods, unless Void Lords make some appearance. Otherwise it's just a filler, plus a Cataclysm rehash.

[@stormstrider1990]

In case of Wrathion's actions leading to the return of the Legion, we can safely assume it was a self- fulfilling prophesy. As for Wrathion being manipulated by the Old Gods, that's up for speculation. The whispers of Il'gynoth seem to be hinting at that, but we still don't know if the whispers really mean anything or if it's just the usual mumbo- jumbo the Old Gods and their minions use to drive people nuts. Regardless, an encounter with N'zoth is inevitable, and with Xavius attacking Val'sharah and the naga attacking Azhuna, I believe it will happen after Legion.

[@silverspear21]

I doubt they have forgotten about wrathion. Ebonhorn is reluctant to follow you in certain areas and help out in Neltharion's lair. At the end he says he needs to attend to family matters and that he hopes it is more peaceful. Foreshadowing to wrathion and maybe a struggle for power between them two maybe? I hope so because it would be great to see the black dragon flight be redeemed and seeing as this expansion is tying in every other previous one they should bring in the dragons from Outland in this story.

[@sandornemeth5388]

"I've had a bad feeling about this" "its a trap" clear star wars references :D

[@RozzanaRose]

"We're asked to be a hero and do it for her" Summary of every expansion in all of Wow.

[@AvaTheFaeva]

So disappointed that they removed Baine Bloodhoof from that, he's one of my favorite characters and I was looking forward to finding him there. I heard his voice files at Vol'jin's Funeral and they mentioned Highmountain Tauren being tall, and it got me super excited. Oh well. :(

[@MMOcritic]

I love the storyline! Great job @nobbel87 telling the story of High Mountain! I've been subscribed for a long time now and I always get excited to see what story you will tell next! Bravo friend.

[@MyViolador]

I sold my steamy romance novel "got milk" for 10k of gold

[@jaqenart2653]

where do i get them?

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

I looted it twice from the drogbar in the cave at the east of Thunder Totem. Those pervs.^^

[@jaqenart2653]

lol they want that highmountain milk

[@fittstege]

If you're not listening to "aint no mountain high enough" while questing in highmountain, I dont trust you

[@lucaslof9035]

i love your video Nobbel87

[@osirisgem]

Can i just say thank you for the millionth time. You are the best man. Seriously, I do so look forward to seen a 1 or 2 next to your channel. I can be quite salty with regard to many other wowcentric channels whine and bitch about the game or some minor quality but you never do, or at least you don't do so with no reason or objectivity.

[@Malcorpse]

Really sad we didn't get to see Baine as a horde player since he has done so little in-game.

[@Darkmirror7]

I really enjoy your videos, even if i haven't really touched WoW anymore since WotlK, though that doesnt stop me from enjoying the story. A thing that i greatly enjoy about this video is how you show the differences between the beta and the actual release (the important fact that Ebonhorn is his own entity and not just wrathion in disguise anymore) So i highly appreciate it that you show these vital differences off.

[@TrUsIS100]

Same

[@steve6u]

Guys don't worry rhonin will show up and fix everything

[@Staygold1999]

+Wow Jedi exactly.

[@SamuelAlves-yb9uj]

well i always hoped that he didnt die in theramore and when the bomb exploded e got mana poisoned and that the blue dragonfligh took him so the could save him and helped him absorv all that mana and then he would apear in a super sayan mode and save everyone but that will never happen :P

[@LordFakeGodz]

When was the last time Rhonin trying to fix something? Theramore isle? oh wait.

[@steve6u]

Too soon

[@Lupinemancer87]

[@BreRale]

keep up the great work, you're awesome

[@soggybiscuit4208]

Nobbel, you make my "Mountain" "High" if y'know what I mean. ;)))

[@finklemctinkle7415]

Lmao you gayyyyy

[@soggybiscuit4208]

WOAH, DID YOU JUST ASSUME I'M GAY BECAUSE I MADE A DICK JOKE? I'M TRIGGGGGGGGGGGGERED!

[@osirisgem]

Oh being gay is awesome, I speak from experience. Don't knock it til you try it.

[@nemaele]

Ebonhorn for King of Stormwind.

[@arawn1061]

yes!

[@Opahyagenn]

mayla's voice acting.. is just... so precious..

[@aidanniles1788]

Keep up the good work.

[@firetracks2581]

Ebonhorns voice made me think that he was going to betray us

[@daisymerollin2948]

Nobbel,can you make a video about Fandral Staghelm? Recently i found out,mostly threw watching your videos,that he's been involved in a lot of important events in nigth elves's history...his story is huge and goes back as far as Malfurion.You should make an entire video on him if you haven't already

[@ReZhorw]

"Thanks a lot for the run everyone!"... no answer but "rip". I cri for Nobbel efritime

[@littleshopofeldritchhorror6224]

Thanks for showing me what I miss because of my stupid fear of dungeons

[@LuxVertas]

Highmoutain is such an amazing zone, it's best saved for last!

[@nicklewis7291]

Your videos are trimendouas. When you can, please make a lore video about Kul Tiras. There's not alot that I've found other than Jaina was from there and her father ruled it. Where is/was it? Can we get there playing our characters?

[@qtech_cba8015]

You did predict the future,legend

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

Highmountain is the most beautiful and my favourite Place in Legion, followed by Stormheim.The others are beautiful as well, but for, these 2 take the cake

[@ProOfWar15]

yay someting to listen while dieing one million times in suramar city

[@utkukoksal5278]

Hey Nobbel. I know that we know little and less about the final pillar of creation Eye of Aman'thul at this point but can it be related to the Eye of Sargeras from Warcraft 3 as both are connected to Broken Isles and maybe the Tomb of Sargeras ?

[@cmw986]

You know I always thought it was stupid that Tauren did not get a large totem weapon like in Warcraft 3

[@chasedogman2032]

They aren't actually slot items at all, they are just buffs that place it on your back until canceled. However, that's still not a weapon and the back totems clash and clip with pretty much all weapons.

[@bindair_dundat]

Ah, one of the unimportant zones that didn't even get a cinematic.

[@General12th]

You mean, all of them? (I mean importance, not cinematics.)

[@Beiki]

I think that the Mightstone Drogbar were influenced by the Old Gods. I''d say that they're the ones who gave Dargrul his vision. Also the shadow priest artifact says that Ularogg has heard the whispers of the old gods, but admits that he is not their minion.

[@einloggen1000]

Will there be an event where we will be able to meet you at some point in the future? i´d love to shake your hand and thank you for your content ^^

[@BioMatic2]

i hate wrathion since his little tantrum at the end of MoP so whatever makes him less special is okey in my book, also i love Ebonhorn

[@CallMeNoa]

Together, we are Highmountain!

[@mufasa8120]

what are you! I could listen to your accent all day xDD

[@Greatot]

Still don't understand who the Drogbar actually are. Where do they fit on the evolutionary tree? They have similarities to Goblins and Trolls.

[@ashb712]

i think they bare more similarities to Troggs, which in turn means they would be related to Dwarves, were that the case. My guess is they are some form of Titan-created race that helped them shape the world, just like Earthen dwarves, stone giants, etc.

[@disinformatique]

I think they are Kobolds on steroids (highly evolved form of Kobolds).

[@Murphio25]

We don't know where they originally came from, but they did exist before the war of the ancients at least.

[@rdogg114]

The old god dagger seems to suggest there titan made.

[@brucebarksome7997]

I'm sooo glad they made the changes with Wrathion. It felt to me it would be boring if Wrathion came popping again but it would be logical, I suppose.

[@TheLocochico]

I just realized the Highmountain story is similar to the Wildhammer story in Highlands I kinda have a feeling the Thrall will find his new weapon very soon in this hammer

[@badgermcwaffles4834]

I want to point out one cool thing; Malrok the son of the blood totem dude is AT thunder totem when you get there and you can overhear them talking about leaving. A minor thing but I think worth mentioning as it's well done. Though the blood totem becoming feltotem I found to be retarded, they want highmountain so bad they want it to burn? Just think it could've been done better. I think they look awesome though! with the whole fel, like the nightborne ones who are tainted by it.

[@silverspear21]

Well seeing as the hammer can help reshape the land it might be burning now but they can always just redo it later.

[@badgermcwaffles4834]

I guess they aren't aware the legion isn't going to like just let them have the titan relic to reshape the land as they reshaped them. Their very minds get warped by the change; i doubt they give 2 cents now about highmountain other than outsiders are on their land

[@gamestarz2001]

8:43 SOMETHINGS NOT QUITE RIGHT

[@Houmicek15]

lol, I have my wow sound turn off and I thought that the dialog between Gromm and Gul´dan had been used for those two taurens :D I took me some time to realise

[@djdano92]

i want to know a little info on a guy called "Marcus" (think that's his name) you meet him in high mountain in a house and he was laying with a male and female Tauren, i'm guessing it was a joke but the hint i got from it was that he had a 3 some with them and when you walk in the house he walk out. Can't remember if he says anything but if he does i think it was something a long the lines of "Nothing to see here", am sure a lot of people know what and who i'm talking about :)

[@l0mad642]

hey nobbel! when are the days you stream?

[@chrisparry2495]

Don't know if i'm being stupid here but have you done a video on genn greymane? He seems to be getting interesting lore wise with him and sylvannas, and the lore behind his son? You should do a video on him!

[@arawn1061]

its the story of gilneas

[@blocklance_3921]

Hey Nobbel, I had a pretty interesting idea about the expansion coming after Legion (early, I know). What if the expansion coming after this is us returning to Draenor and helping the alternate Azeroth defend against their Legion invasion? Any thoughts?

[@sayantanm2]

Well the Nether transcends all realities ... if they are defeated in one reality, they are defeated in all realities, so going to other timelines is waste of strength. Also its heavily implied that the next big issue is the old gods who are merely the servants of the Void Lords.

[@DagothDaddy]

"He draws strength from the earth our earth"

[@ozas258]

hey nobel whats your opinion on the current retri paladin dps?

[@raybrock370]

+Nobbel87 Does anything happen after receiving all of the pillars of creation, I have all of them besides the Highmountain one because I'm too busy doing WQ's to que for heroic Neltharions Lair. Also, my internet is worse than dial up, that might be a reason for not queing.

[@prop-guy9087]

seems like the ancient tauren got to "Beef" up more

[@arroiofbi]

Any idea of why the drake dude leaves before we fight Dargrul? and comes back right after we kill him

[@jakewebster7635]

Definitely the best looking zone.

[@Darkmortal100]

Came to hear about the adventure of Marcus in highmountain. didnt get it.

[@mojo0508]

When are we getting the story of Krasus/Korialstrasz?

[@ThePolishValsion]

My favorite zone. Looks like a glorified version of Canada wildlands and mountains. TOGETHER, WE ARE HIGHMOUNTAIN!

[@pokcmvmxckm2715]

Why didn't you talk about Dudebrul! Hes so critical to the story!

[@alexshingleton]

What race is Dargul? is he orc, troll or something else?

[@pollookgaming]

Please do a lore on Prince Farondis.

[@DDespicable]

drogbar huh? great something else to add to wows extensive evolution chart.

[@Vintagegaston]

TOGETHER, WE ARE HIGHMOUNTAIN!

[@maciekx10]

I always find it stupid when they say something like "The spirits whisper that our fates are intertwined". The legion wants to destroy the whole planet OF COURSE OUR FATES ARE INTERTWINED SHERLOCK, I'M GLAD THAT THE SPIRITS TOLD YOU!

[@ze2874]

soooo more black dragons heee nice blizard now we dont need prince duchebag

[@KazumiKiguma]

So, the Legion is the Fire Nation, since everything changed when they attacked. Seems legit actually.

[@koatsmagoats7145]

Is it not spoilers if it's just the kind of stuff no one reads while they play? I was hoping this was more of a pre-legion history class but good video.

[@perstyr]

Is there a connection between the Drogbar, Trolls and Goblins? They look a bit like a missing-link to me.

[@arawn1061]

goblins were a failed experiment by blizz... eh i mean mimiron, no idea where the trolls come from, could be just as the proto dragons that they evolved from elementals

[@李玉醴]

Together, we are highmeowtain!

[@baastex]

didnt know malganis is a mount in WoW

[@sage138]

Who would be the new Chieftain if Mayla is killed in the survival hunter quest?

[@Mortgage-Rates]

I saw Mallok at thunder totem and we killed him in feltotem...

[@raymondmartinez8519]

So are Mayla and Baine gonna hook up and make hybrid Tauren babies? Both of their fathers were murdered. Both gave up a Legendary weapon. Both are their united tribes chieftains. Seems like a legit couple in the making.

I miss early legion, it was so hype.

[@danielma7281]

what is the lore of the worgens

[@birb7866]

Nobbel got the sea turtle mount?

[@Guaccc]

Would have been cool to see Baine here

[@Turtlezzzzzzzzzz]

I liked this zone because the place is live is known as riverbend

[@blackstone20000]

Can you tell us about what happens after we defeating Xavius?

[@holyhappyn5741]

he does mention it briefly, in one of his other videos. I think it was the Illganoth (sorry if I suck at spelling) video, where he mentions at the end a cave in the Emerald Dream where there is a corrupted flower or something. But no, he has not made a full video about what happens yet.

[@GregorianChatter]

I really wish they don't scrap Wrathion, they could make him an amazing charater and if thy throw that aside, I will be extremely pissed!

[@bluesloth4142]

One of these days, Blizzard will allow tauren players to have those glorious moose horns.

[@benjaminnielson5244]

My favorite zone!

[@Johan-di6md]

Wait I am confused, why was Deathwing in that cave?

[@Murphio25]

It was an image of Deathwing, as Deathwing is actually now dead. As to why he was in there, the Drogbar were the slaves he used to apply the metal onto him. Neltharion's Lair refers to Deathwing, because his real name is Neltharion, in other words: Neltharion's Lair is Deathwing's Lair.

[@EdyGlockenspiel]

THESE ARE DROGBAR ROCKS! DROGBAR STONES!

[@EdyGlockenspiel]

Dudebrul, Do you even lift?

[@vanvalk1427]

dont understand why they didnt keep baine in the story i feel like nobody knows who he is he really needs some story

[@slawdog8]

why do the drak'bar, mog'ul and orcs look the same

[@Reelyreed]

What

[@RileyRivalle2]

+you youson They don't. So there.

[@Murphio25]

I think you mean the Drogbar and Mogu. Their facial structure is somewhat similar, and they all have tusk or tusk-like fangs, and they're all pretty sizable. Aside from that, I can't really say what you might see in them that makes them so similar.

[@MrBizon91]

Wait.. they scrapped all the wrathion quest?

[@arawn1061]

yea now baine has a new voice for no reason

[@MrBizon91]

Aron Johansson what does it have to do with baine :D

[@arawn1061]
