The Story of The Titan Keepers - Part 1 of 2 [Lore]

[@tooca9147]

The chronicles book is so good in my opinion, this was probably my favorite part of it!

[@wailrimouch4973]

+Gabriel Andersson Just wait for the part about Lei Chin and the Guardians the Zandalari Arthor and much more...

[@tooca9147]

+wail rimouch Already read it, definetly going to read this book multiple time, sooo amazing

[@zealousgemini3546]

Ccccccvvvvvvvvvvvv

[@fegen1596]

its nice that they tell us what the spirit healers actually are

[@RossardJames]

Man you told this beautifully. I have to say, the Chronicle book was a really great read. I hope Blizz does a second volume.

[@Hatsjekideee]

+RossardJames The plan was three volumes if I recall correctly.

[@connor_obrady]

+Hatsjekideee Sort of like teh simarilian of Warcraft if I'm not mistaken.

[@RinsedCheeks]

+RossardJames Great read, though I feel like the first two chapters were some of the worse retcons in WoW history. (The introduction of the Void Lords, the degrading of the Old Gods, and the fact that Sargeras is just an anti-hero rather than a main villain)

[@hykoru193]

+Justin Brule I feel it makes more sense as to why a group of powerful adventures are able to kill gods. I always wondered how the hell we managed to kill things called gods. Also wasn't sargeras always like that? His whole thing was clean the universe by fire lol

[@Archon3960]

we never killed any of the Old Gods. We just put them back to sleep.

[@yrsa7637]

best dragon queen crown ever. 10 / 10 Another amazing video.

[@michaellight7248]

Matthew Harrington mahiv can kill her

[@RodrigoLinhares]

Look at Galakrond's tiny little arms. He must have heard all sorts of jokes in proto-drake high school. Maybe that's why he decided to eat the planet.

[@KindOldRaven]

+Rodrigo Linhares Lmao

[@babysmellmcgee8789]

Crying😂😂😂

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

I guess it made him want to make Azeroth great again.

Must have cost them an arm and a leg though

[@sindra309]

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

+Caden Boissineau I bet they serve Vrykul-sized flapjacks up in the Halls of Valor. As for hookers well....Odyn had Helya and there were plenty of Vrykul women....OKAY I'LL STOP RIGHT THERE!

[@TheSilentStrife]

[@thomasdr08]

Mmm... Vrykul hookers... giant snoo snoo

[@SagittariusSisyphus]

Blizzard should award you with a Real Life Discs of Norgannon :3 Can't wait to know more about the Light, the Naaru and more importantly.. the Paladins and Vindicators as a whole.

[@ashb712]

Man, that scene at the very end makes a lot more sense now that Nobbel explained it in this video

[@SWCaptainREX]

So instead of killing for example Freya, he let her live and tend to her garden undisturbed. You know, that pretty kind of Yogg'Saron!

[@Helman114]

+Otto von Bismarck Maybe he wanted a titan babe for himself :D *Lol pls don't kill me*

[@camzoman]

+Otto von Bismarck Less suspicious. This way he looks like he's still guarded.

[@sayantanm2]

+Otto von Bismarck Old Gods tend to corrupt more than kill.

[@SWCaptainREX]

Awkward Squirtle It would make more sense, at first I thought that maybe Algalon would've noticed if one of the Keepers was killed, but then again Loken - who would know this - tried to kill Mimiron. I'm not sure that this was less suspicious...after all his corruption became very clear, driving people mad, having the Faceless Ones walk around the lowest floor of Ulduar and that kind of stuff.

[@SWCaptainREX]

Sayantan Mondal True. But still Yogg'Saron would know that the Keepers are more dangerous alive.

[@mattpk1609]

Nice you mentioned the Shadowlands back in this video and now we are weeks away to explore them ourselves.

[@brodynapier1428]

God damn you got the shadowlands part so fkn accurate! Crazy watching this in 2020

[@camping11]

I fell in love with this game recently and the lore is even better! It's great they got inspiration from norse mythology. Thank you for all the videos, I have so much to watch

[@DJSLANKMAN]

you should play classic its way better

[@Hyjy0]

As a fan of norse mythology I love the amount of references that the lore of warcraft has. Great videos!

[@liamdalton79]

I only noticed at the end of the video that Loken and Sif's story is basically the plot of Othello :P

[@lukesolo112]

I picked up chronicle and it's really really good. now watching you tell the story like a parent tells a child helps me understand it better. keep up the awesome work bro

[@Mrree250]

Me and my friend often talk about how much we love your lore videos and orgasmic voice, keep up the good work Nobbel!

Born too late to explore the world, Born too early to see the universe, Born just in time to see CoD die

[@c.d.dailey8013]

Wow. I find the WoW lore very powerful and compelling. Now I have a better idea of how that works. There is use of mythology and Bible stories. Such stories are amazing and worth getting inspiration from. I have noticed more references to Norse mythology. There is valkyries and Helheim. There is even a guy called Hymdall in the background of 5:05. The use of giants are like Norse. I wonder if there are parts in Azaroth, like the Norse realms. The realm of Helheim is the most obvious. Maybe there is more. The upper icy parts of Northrend is like Niflehiem. The lower mountainous parts of the continent is like Jotunheim, especially if they have giants. The place where the titanforged live is like Asguard. The Firelands is like Musphaheim. Both have fire. The Emeralsd dream is a green natury area like Vanaheim. The Shadowlands are dark and creepy like Svardalfheim. The Isle of Queldenais is a birght home of the elves, like Alfheim. Dun Modr and Blackrock mountain have dwarves like Nidavellir. The whole world of Azaroth is like the mundane realm of Midguard. The human areas like Elwyn Forest is the best example. Nordrassil and Teledrassil are world trees like Yggdrasil. I winder if Azaroth has a rainbow bridge, like Bifrost. That would be cool. I wonder if there are places like Christian cosmology. Helfire Peninsula and Shadowmoon Valley are nasty and demon infested in ther Outland versions. They are like Hell. One of them even has Hell in the name. Wherever the Titans live is like Heaven. The eery inbetween places of Blasted Lands, Swamp of Sorrows and Deadwind Pass is like Limbo. I wonder is this is why Duskwood is so creepy. It would be the start of Limbo. The orc zone of Duratar and the Dranei zones of Azuremyst and Bloodmyst is like Purgatory. The orcs and dranei work hard to do heroics and overcome thier past of demonic curruption.

[@Fazquel]

love the video, and it makes me think that the story told in shadowlands should have been not about the Jailer trying to destroy reality. But the origin of all the roots of WoW lore. Odin and Helya should have had a much bigger role and used this expansion to tell a story what had been done in the past and how its affecting the afterlife. It almost sounds to me like Odin could have been a villain/anti-hero for shadowlands. Just my opinion/thoughts. These lore vids get me brainstorming lol

[@KindOldRaven]

Your extensive lore videos are the best I've found. Glad I subbed when I found you ;D

[@stormstrider1990]

So the information stored in the Tribunal of Ages was actually Loken's propaganda. Still, there seems to be little to no changes to the overall story of Ulduar.

[@Nobbel87]

+Prince Stormstrider Yep, but that's also because the chronicles end at around Medivh's entry. It's possible that later volumes will revisit the wrath of the lich king period.

[@skylight748]

+Nobbel87 i wonder after world of warcraft ends how we gonna actually know the exactly full plot of the story and how right was it ...thats gonna be very hard to understand, i always find some difficulty to grasp the whole plot of wow video stories to much info!!

[@raver377]

since i first saw the valk'kyr i thought that they must have something to do with the spirit healers ^^

[@Maragaoc]

Hey Nobbel, great vid, as always. I don`t belive Blizzard ever confirmed what exactly happened with Galakrond and his mutations. Last time I saw you discussing it we still didn`t have the Chronicles and all precious lore about Order, Desorder, Life, Death, Light and Void. It was pretty unclear if he was inffected by some kind of undeath plague or Old Gods. The latter sounded more possible, since we belived that the undeath plague would still be created by the Burning League. Now we understand that the Void was already present in Azeroth, and it's reasonable to think they could tap into the undeath magic (like Odin did). Do you think Galakrond was an attempt of the Void to create such creature? He surely was a "parasitic necrophotic" beast, and all those extra limbs and eyes around his body scream Old Gods to me. Could it be that one of the Old Gods or even the Void Lords tried to convert the photodrakes like they did with the mantids/etc? I understand that that book is now a few years old and probably might not even be canon anymore, but since the Dragons Aspects were one of my favorite lore, I do belive there is still hope that Blizzard will explore something reguarding Galakrond, Old Gods and our Dragons.

[@Xo-3130]

It's possible he likely started tapping into forces he didn't understand (perhaps even eating the remains of an old god)

[@gzer0x]

Holy shit I love how Chromicle and your videos on it just fill in so much of the history of WoW. Like explaining what affects so many quests in literally every continent

[@CallMeNoa]

By the way Nobbel, with the Aspects, the Pantheon can still give those speeches. Chronicle talks about how the Keepers called on and channeled the power of the titans, so it sounds more like they were just conduits and the Pantheon still did the actual blessing.

[@LordFakeGodz]

OHH that Bran bronzebeard accessing the data of Ulduar... one of the reason why WotLK is best Expansion, the whole Ulduar is just awesome

[@CustodianArchra]

No matter how many times I hear it, Yogg Saron's Voice will always freak me out

[@LinkenLorko]

+Archra I love going to hearthhead for the "play" and "attack" lines he has. Makes my spine shiver, in a good way.

[@iceman3317]

So from this, the Void and Void Lords are the true enemy, if more so than Sargeras. Also explains why Sargeras is obsessed with Azeroth. I also didn't connect the fact that the Spirit Healers are also Valkyr.

[@silverquis]

Loken was messing around with his brother's wife. Next time on Jerry Springer.

[@Jxcky2810]

Odyns theme tune: To protect the world from devestation To unite all peoples within our nation To denounce the evils or truth and love To extend our reach the the stars above Odyn! Helia! Team Odyn blast in off at the speed of light Surrender now or prepare to fight Yeah that's right!

[@valizeth4073]

Apkumn Oden's the wise one, the strong one, the old one. The all father.

[@XxCHRISchaosxX]

Blizz should make it so that the Discs of Norganonn (i think?) at the end of Uldaman in-game, where Archaedas is telling you all about the curse of flesh and yadadaada, at the end of the text it reads something like "We hear whispers of a place called KZbin, where you can speak to a certain Nobbel87 to learn everything we couldn't discuss here." I think that'd be cool, nobbel definitely deserves a shoutout from blizzard. He's kept so many people including myself coming back to WoW time and again, just so i can experience the lore unfold in game.

[@CallMeNoa]

This was my favorite part of Chronicle. I LOVE what they did with Loken.

[@runebeargames899]

Hey Nobbel, something off topic but I was thinking... since people are pretty up in arms about Thrall just handing over the Doomhammer, i thought of something, maybe i could get your thoughts on it: The aspects cleansed the dragon soul right, and Thrall helped at least from my understanding. well, they said it would take a piece of their very being... then at the end the Aspects banded together to "knot" the threads of that particular time so it couldnt be tampered with, but Thrall wasnt apart of that. what if it just took longer for the effect of the dragon soul to take hold on him? the biggest part of his being is communing with the elements, so thats what was taken. Just a thought, hope to hear what people thing :)

[@paradoxmaelstrom1892]

+WinterNomad Hmm that is a good theory to me I thought it had something to do with the elements all together like the alternate elements wanted Garrosh dead as it should be in that timeline so in Mak'gora they lent their powers to Thrall to do so but when he came back the elements of Azeroth slowly found out what happened took his power away well that's one theory I have the other is; That the battle at the Broken Shore broke his spirit and will and perhaps some hope same with the rest of the shamans of the Earthern Ring since in that quest to get any of those weapons they can't cast anything meaning that either their strength has chipped away by fighting a endless battle or they can't focus due to the looming threat of demons since they were being hunted down by them too and to have a lent power from an element you must be focused and calm to control something wild and unpredictable. But that's just my two theories. :)

[@orangesya7649]

as someone only looking into wow lore because of hearthstone I really appreciate you putting cards up there when talking about certain characters lol

[@schwartzpedro]

YAY ANOTHER NOBBEL VIDEO!

[@Yamototamto]

Nobbel your videos are amazing... I learned so much about wow lore... Books are good source but here you can actualy see things you made :D and it is a fantastic work of narrative and pictures to show story :D Big props!

[@tyehampton]

Just Subbed on Patreon, incredible work man. Absolutely amazing visuals, it helps me so much!!!!!!

[@jrod9918]

Really appreciate you making this video

[@JackSparrow-gn1zn]

Is a dragon aspect more powerful than a elemental lord ? How about one of the Titan Keepers ? How would you compare it's power to a pit lord ?

[@Grewyn7]

I would say that Titans > Keepers = Dragon Aspects > Elemental Lords

[@meistarijon]

Titans,voidlords,keepers,old gods,dragon aspects,elemental lords.i whould say

[@Miatog]

One thing to back up the idea that the speeches are canon is Dawn of the Aspects. We get a similar story there, where Tyr and the keepers are at the dragons but the blessing itself is skimmed over. The way it's done however left me with the impression, long before Chronicles, that the Titans were speaking or channeled through the Keepers.

[@rheunark3985]

18:52 Wait Thorim? Not Hodir?

[@Nobbel87]

+Lord Smilla Damnit, mixed me names up D:

[@rheunark3985]

+Nobbel87 No worries m8! Just remember to keep up with yourself. Good luck with the lore videos!

[@arawn1061]

not thorim or hodir its hodor

[@rheunark3985]

+Aron Johansson It's pronounced Hurr durr

[@TheWikkiThe]

HODOR!

[@badgermcwaffles4834]

The part with odyn and Helya and such was really cool! i was wondering wtf was up with them. Cool to see what spirit healers are as well. And it's nice blizz can sort of force connect things together in this manor so at least there is some sort of overall story

[@unitedgamers361]

i love they actually got a lore reason for the angels that bring us back to life

[@bettyboo4271]

More titan lore hyyyyyyyyyyype

[@Camimp01]

Best part was using the heartstone cards to illustrate the aspects... hahaha Love your storytelling. ^^

[@BeRightBackQ8]

Hey Nobbel! I have a theory and might be an explanation of how we got all that power as mortals and heroes of "Azeroth". Remember we fought the Old Ones and beat em' C'thun,Yogg-Saron the ones that even the Titan-Keepers corrupted by them. We even fought the keepers them selves and bested ten in battle we even killed one of them Loken. But hey N'zoth is still out there, eh? Remember in the previous video it was said that the element of spirit was consumed by the world soul? Then the curse of flesh and we "Mortals" were more vulnerable and easily influenced? Then I'd say the world soul granted us the "cursed mortals" some of its power to make us the real protectors of Azeroth its soul. So in my opinion the main reason of all of our powers came from the world it self.

[@jadovaoliaro]

wooo more titan lore! keep it up we love this sh!t!

[@NEkromanT33]

Still plenty to cover from Chronicle so you're in for a treat.

[@merikmalhads1676]

+Benerro Moquorro not even half the book is done at this point

[@Mr_Peters]

May I suggest that you increase the Font size of the chat when you do things like the last part where it's a whole lot of dialogue. Makes it easier to read along with the voices. Nice work though!

[@Broockle]

Man, there's a lot of characters and moving pieces to keep track of. Think I may need to watch this a few more times to understand lol

[@gypseytails9053]

You should make a wow lore podcast Nobbel

[@martinmikus6142]

Should Brann know the true origin and history of azeroth when we discover Ulduman and disc of Nordonon within long before we strom Ulduar?

[@VhanchyShu]

174 videos left for me. Man, I'm going to love this. xD

[@Sikara]

great vid Nobbel!

[@gregportinari2571]

The Warcraft Lore gives me such a thrill that only the marvel universe has been able to match. Love this shiiiiiiiiiiiit.

[@c.d.dailey8013]

Both borrow Norse mythology. If you are interested, you could check that out. It is cool.

[@victorlrs6686]

I really love the way blizzard based wow around northern mythology. With Freya, Loken, Odyn and etc. Also the giant tree called nordrassil based on the giant tree of life in northern mythology called ydrassil... LOVE IT!!!

[@alejandro5695]

Hey Nobble as always great videos but can you do Chronicles maybe once a month? I already read the book so these are things many of us know maybe you can do non-chronicles stuff every 2 weeks.

[@redmoon696]

Hey Nobbel Iwould like to ask since its possibly to do it on your own would you maybe consider some sort of loreplay for some raids where you talk about the story of specific quest or the raid in it self i know it would consume lots of time but mh well just want to ask^^ still loving your videos

[@hansbdein]

It's amazing how blatant the inspiration from the Norse mythology is.

[@won1853]

Well Odyn was right all along. Neltharion became Deathwing, Malygos went mad, Nozdormu becomes Murozond, and Ysera becomes corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare. Now only Alexstraza remains and how long before she goes mad too?

[@gregportinari2571]

+won1853 I thought Murozond came to be only in the case that Deathwing succeeded in destroying life on Azeroth, causing him to go mad.

[@MBladt93]

+Greg Portinari Because he is the timeless one, he had seen his own death. And because the future is always changing and holds endless possible outcomes, 1 of those possibilities is a future where the timeless one does everything to avoid his dearh. His solution is to prevent certain events from happening, abusing the caverns of time and so, creating the infinite dragonflight.

[@won1853]

Greg Portinari Murozond tried to make sure that Deathwing succeeded in destroying life in Azeroth. He helped Deathwing but I don't think Deathwing is the cause he went mad.

[@gregportinari2571]

Well, damn. Seems I completely misunderstood all that.

[@Sivet555]

What i learned here is that, just like we gave Loken a good beating for corrupting the other keepers and fucking Ulduar up. We should give Odin an even bigger beating for turning his back on the other keepers, and creating the Val'kyr enabling everything the lich king later did.

[@aidanniles1788]

Good work Nobbel.

Technically the wrong proto drake model was used for neltharian. There is a black proto drake in game although it's barely used for NPCs and the mount is unavailable and was hard to get when it was.

[@kaljus8431]

[@kristijan8518]

loved wotlk about how much lore it had especially about old gods

[@richardm.garciajr.9930]

This is very informative, I'm learning alot

[@jonasgerne3233]

So as you have said in the past a Warcraft IV game would be difficult to execute because we are making the story right now. But what would you say if Warcraft IV was set in the past. And I mean from the beginning. It would start with the wakening of Aman'thul and go on with the war against The Black Empire, and one of the final battles would be against Yogg-Sauron(or whoever it was). We would get to create the army of titans. We fight agains all the elemental lords, drive the forces of the old Gods back. We send Hodir, Loken, Thorim and all the others down to Azeroth to protect the land. What would you say about that kind of Warcraft IV game?

[@Billcomesback]

Thanks Nobble!

Hi Nobbel! Can you please make a lore vid about Gilneas. The people living there, the worgen story etc. That would be greatly appreciated!

Can't wait for the next part.

[@nightknight2777]

According to the description of the azeroth titan soul i think that legion is going to end like this: soul wakes up makes a shockwave that kills all demons and flicks sargeras to the twisting nether

[@JoeyPeeters]

I'm sorry if this has been answered before Nobbel but I didn"t find it in your previous video, maybe I missed it :o What is the name of the sleeping titan in azeroth? thanks for these sweet lore videos i'm really looking forward to next week ;) greetings from Belgium

[@TwistTail]

I like how much blizzard based some of the story and titen keepers on nordic mythology like tyr loosing the hand to galakrond as tyr lost his hand to the fenris wolf

What the hell did Sif and Loken expect other than blind rage when he struck Arngrim? It makes no sense why they were mad or shocked, no pun intended.

[@TurimoO]

Damn that was a lot of information thank you !

[@bindair_dundat]

So basically, the Titan Keepers are the new Aspects with Titanic powers, and the Aspects are just a bunch of dragons given powers from the Keeper and not the Titans themselves. Regardless, where the hell are any of them when the Legion comes?

[@iraqlobster7678]

+Bindair Dundat No.... They asked their creators to give the dragons their blessings... The titans blessed the dragons through the keepers and that was before sargeras murdered the pantheon

[@Galazad]

now this is good.

[@SkyLordPanglot]

One thing I dont understand. Fel magic? Where in the world did that came from. Wasnt the prison build by the titans. How did Sargeras become corrupted when he shattered it. It doesnt really make huge amout of sense.

[@TimeOfSin]

Mardun wasn't a Titan built prison, Fel magic is a cosmic force like Arcane, demons are beings of Fel, so when Sargaras shattered the prison planet he was exposed to massive amounts of Fel energy from all the demons imprisoned there.

[@frankhylia9044]

Sky Lord Panglot fel comes from the fundamental force of Chaos or Disorder, which stems from the Twisting Nether, where Light and Void clash. Demons come from here. They are beings of Chaos. Fel Magic, Demons and the fundamental force Disorder are direct and natural opposites to Arcane magic, Titans and the force of Order from which they come from.
