The Story of Lady Liadrin [Lore]

[@fumarc4501]

Two out of four elves. A leader, a traitor, a fallen, and a redeemer. Twas a fine tale, worthy of the drew halls of Ironforge.

[@ihalia]

+FUmarc damn, that's a dark tale u got there brother...but it's in darkness where light shines the most!

[@Nobbel87]

Morning everyone! I've seen comments that they hotfixed the leveling in a dungeon. With a new character I mean that logging into an excisting character of level 20 or beyond doesn't count. I also forgot a part of Liadrin's story D: Shame, shame, shame! She also joined Maladaar as they took on Socrethar in Shattrath: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHXKmYqGarCWZ5om53s

[@sericsson1996]

lol... :D Thx 4 pointing that out :D What made u look into this hotfix? xD

[@jarodblakeley4337]

I got the achievement on my max character

[@lenemichelle]

+Nobbel87 I went on a alt that was level 17 after I saw this and got the achievement.

[@QuantaSolace]

+Nobbel87 Thanks for that link. I always wondered what happened to the former Exarch.

[@travivs]

+NEMESIS1999 well fuck you too xD

[@zaferis]

Back in Burning Crusade I wasn't really old enough to truly appreciate the stories of the game, but since I played a Blood Elf Paladin I thought Liadrin was the coolest character. She was considered a boss like in raids and the faction leaders, but she was a boss for MY class. I think Blood Knight lore is actually one of the things that really got me into all of it. I memorized the "prophecy" from Velen that A'dal told her and it gave me chills remembering it as Nobbel spoke it! I never knew they fleshed out her story more, but I'm glad they did. Awesome video!

[@armandocampnest4504]

Lady Liadrin hearthstone battle intro: my hammer burns with holy fire. me: but you are holding a sword

[@mrgankface8687]

All paladins have hammers.

[@Krisshomez]

She needs a new unique model, she's too important to have a basic blood elf model

[@terrordise1386]

Liadrin also adopted the blood elf orphan Salandria! She's the one you see during children's week.

[@maxemiloddmoland5476]

It sucks that the Blood Elves and Tauren don't get much lore love :P

[@jacobtodd7347]

Way more then the poor gnomes

[@iceman3317]

I know this was 2 years ago, but there really isn't much you can talk about, although I'd love to go back in time to see them. The Blood Elves share the same Lore as the NIght, High and Void Elves for the most part, and then half of Warcarft 3 covered Blood Elves. Where they lost 90% of there population. We also then go to BC, where they lose another 5% of their population. Leaving only 5% left.

[@iceman3317]

Their entire story has been covered, so with Void Elves, they had to add more lore because there was nothing else to talk about. Blood and High Elves also played a large part in Northerend, although some of their content, like the stuff in Crystal Song was removed. They played a significant role in MoP as well, although they were mainly lackys for Garrosh.

[@trollzynisaacjohan1793]

Blood elves are high elves. Just slightly edgy and angry with no shits given about using a lil fel magic.

[@cultofmalgus1310]

@@jacobtodd7347 Gnomes are abomination. Gnome Genocide ftw!

[@KyuuStormsoul]

Nobbel , srsly , thx for letting us all keep up with the lore, i totally love your vids and hope you will stay with us , until the end of the world (of warcraft)

[@brucekentallen]

the whole liadrin and blood Knight thing felt so disconnected when it first came out in tbc, i'm glad it's clearer now

[@semipork]

This just reminds me that the Scourge was the greatest foe ever.

[@Foskitty]

Oh wow, I had no idea about so much of this. Such a tragic story; at some parts I was on the verge of tears. But she's one of my favorite characters now, because she seems to do what needs to be done, but feels awful about the bad things she's had to do. She also admits when she's done wrong and tries to make things better, which is a good trait to me. Thanks so much for making this video, Nobbel. I'd hug you, but you'll have to settle for an e-hug. :: huggles ::

[@Loanewolfs]

1:45 I like how he just has the Elves in their healing animation but upside down xD

[@CallMeNoa]

I always liked Liadrin, but she's one of those handful of characters I never really knew too much about. I've never read Blood of the Highborne either. This will be a fun watch, thank you Nobbel!

[@adambarbour5862]

I love lady Liadrin. She was my inspiration for trying out a ret pally as an alt and now she is my main. Such a fun class and such amazing lore.❤️

[@adambarbour5862]

Lady Liadrin is moving on up there with Sylvanas as one of my favorite wow characters. My main has always been a BM hunter. But in honor of Liadrin I have made a paladin. Well and now my hunter is lvl 101 and my paladin is 105! Lol They are so much fun to play and I just got my blood night tabard and I love it. ❤️❤️

[@xlightninghawk6360]

Lady Liadrin is my fave character in WoW and i really hope she will be the next warchief. Only reason i would play horde is because of her and blood elves

[@Snowmeister96]

Sylvanas is the best warchief in history. Voljin was boring, thrall just got annoying with his hippie shaman BS, and Garrosh honestly wasn’t that bad. What happened with him in mists was just bad writing.. But I mean whatever, Sylvanas is still number one.

[@IVPixel]

@@Snowmeister96 that comment aged very well

[@adambarbour5862]

Lady Liadrin is becoming one of my fav lore characters. She is such a bad ass❤️

Rhonin yells: Citizens of Dalaran! Raise your eyes to the skies and observe! Rhonin yells: Today our world's destruction has been averted in defiance of our very makers! Rhonin yells: Algalon the Observer, herald of the titans has been defeated by our brave comrades in the depths of the titan city of Ulduar. Rhonin yells: Algalon was sent here to judge the fate of our world. Rhonin yells: Cold logic deemed this world was not worth saving. Cold logic, however, does not account for the power of free will. It's up to each of us to prove this is a world worth saving. Rhonin yells: That our lives... that our lives are worth living.

[@horukye]

I love your videos. I listen to them while playing and it massively increases my gaming experience. Thank you Nobbel!

[@NantheMistweaver]

*WOOP WOOP* New ship ready to sail! Lor'themar and Liadrin!

[@skykid]

I see her as the serious austere oblivious type, and Lorthemar as polite enough not to push it, perhaps due to their individual duties. It'll take some serious in game events for their love to be requited (if she even feels for him at all)

[@JordanWilson2209]

WOOP WOOP !!

[@Zehd1]

Always looking forward to your videos Nobbel. You truley are the king of lore and an amazing story teller.

[@poeticider]

Its rare I find a 30min video that can keep my attention throughout, but your storytelling is really excellent nobbel, bravo!

[@delsin1126]

This story is so sad and brutal! But very interesting

[@stormstrider1990]

I'm totally happy Blizzard made Liadrin unlockable through leveling a WoW character, instead of making you have to buy her separately like with Medivh, Alleria and Magni. They should do those kind of promo things more often. Lady Liadrin is one of my favorite lore characters. My main toon in WoW is her most loyal and determined student.

[@Zeromancer0]

Thank you for this nobel this was such a good story. Liadrin is one of my favorite characters of all time and you told her story flawless so i thank you very much its one reason why i wont ever unsub you. Your videos are so good and tell all the lore with such percussion and truthfulness so again thank you my friend i really look forward to more videos in the future from you.

[@xthor86]

I remember rolling a belf palading in BC. And i loved it so much. Im not as much of a lord nerd as you. But for me it was just soo cool, that belf paladins subjugated the light. It was special to them specifically.

[@ZrodyApo]

I may be missed that but she'll be a follower for paladins in Legion. And i'm glad that canonically she's the one that has Quel'Delar :D

[@BountyKyleBlack]

AAAAH NOBBEL!! Thanks for this! I adore Liadrin. Wonderfully done as always!

[@matsen1153]

[@chillytoes1]

thanx nobbel, i love the story of lady liandrin! :D this was awesome :D

[@zwolf-cf5rk]

so glad you finally did this video love Liadrin but didnt know to much about her

[@Thebiglloydtree]

When I saw the announcement about Liadrin, I did very much hope for a Retribution rep in Heroes of the Storm. Still, despite not actually playing Hearthstone, I saw it as an opportunity to level my first alliance character to 20, and helped a few groups through lfg. Felt pretty good. EDIT: Pretty sure the ''level 20 in dungeons'' thing was hotfixed.

[@Kekadoodle]

Lady Liadrin's story is continued in the paladin order hall campaign in Legion.

[@Crimtackle]

Nobbel you are awesome.You activated my warcraft side and I thank you very much for that.Stay cool and keep up the great work!

[@brim-skerdouglasson]

This was a right and proper video Nobbel, these are my favorite. I like learning about the undead more so then any other history in WoW.

[@jeramahia123]

As a death knight, you face her at Light's Hope when you try to resurrect Tyrion as a Death Knight, but she stops you and kills Darion.

[@Jaramillo9888]

ty soooo much for this vid nobble, you have no idea how much a love this character, and like you say, i hope they give us more lore about her.

[@CeleBelly23]

Dear Gods her lore is bad ass.

[@General12th]

_"salvation awaits us all"_ Except for, you know, those damned to an eternity of torment for one reason or another. Because there are plenty of those beings too, many of whom didn't chose that path. It seems the Light doesn't save everyone, even if they do believe.

[@kwazooplayingguardsman5615]

J.J. Shank fuck the sinners, an eternity of torment awaits them.

[@General12th]

You're going to Hell for saying that. Doesn't matter how much you pray or who you pray to, JESUS ain't saving you now.

[@kwazooplayingguardsman5615]

J.J. Shank lols, get triggered. your soul awaits eternal torment in hell

[@jshadowhunter]

I think that the Blood Elf player completeing the Quel'dalar questline is cannon, since, when you have to bring it to the Sunwell, you're about to be attacked by the guards because the blade refuses to be taken back to their original owner; meanwhile as a BE character, they let you keep it, saying "you reclaimend it for your people".

Love your videos Nobble. Everytime I am stuck in Roleplay, I watch one of your videos, and I begin to dream. And when you're done, I am almost crying, because World of Warcraft has such rich and beautiful Lore, and such fine things you could do... Like right now, I am inspired to play a fallen Bloodelf Paladin, who is wearing a hat and stuff like a mage, drawn to the arcane magic, who has given up the light forever... Looking for something to redeem himself in Life... Ha! So many possibillities!

[@c.d.dailey8013]

Wow. I am fond of the blood elves. This is an interesting one. Liadrin is the paladin one. She went through some harsh events. There was that one incident in the troll hut. That is really screwed up. Then Liadrin had to kill two friends out of self defense. One of them became a zombie. Yikes. It is nice that Liadrin persisted in following the light. I hope she keeps going.

[@Rastislav000]

I really like your lore videos and this is definitely one of your best videos so far. Great job, Nobbel. Keep it up :)

[@mihaiaricisteanu7903]

So far, in Legion, Lady Liadran is in the Palladin Class Hall and, along with the High Vindicator, swears loyalty to the player Palladins

Would you ever do a video on why the Blood Elves joined the Horde? Because it seems like they had their issues with a lot of the races

[@Ethox5000]

They asked Sylvannis for help so she led them toward the horde

[@Psynoodleful]

Also when playing WC3 the campaign with Kael'thas Sunstrider, they were allied with humans, but the humans toke profit out of them and sending them out to theirre deaths in war. Wich is why Kael joined Illidan and weent to outland. So humans looked already up on high (blood)elves as betrayers at that time

[@jebusfire]

+nobbel87 at the end (29:42) you talk about "taming" her in Hearthstone. Just for future reference, you tame wild animals or beasts, whereas you unlock/receive/get characters or humans. I think we all know what you meant, but its probably good to know to not use a word associated with beasts for women :P

[@MASTERSHADOWLINX]

29:54 Untrue, I got the achievement through just soloing a bit of Ragfire, so either that's BS, only certain dungeons will give the achievement, or it has to be done without a group.

[@Fishbro]

They should at least redo B-elf zones and silvermoon city and the dead scar and remake both blood elf zones to fit the new zone. Make the blood elf zones rebuilt with no more arthas in their zones and give them a bigger population and area, making them an actual force to be reckoned with.

[@Thealin5]
