Greetings everyone, long time no see! It’s been quite a journey over this past year, and to celebrate our one-year anniversary together, I hereby present to you the revisited version of Elwynn Forest. Thank you all for your incredible support, especially regarding my recent announcement about becoming a father. I've read every kind word, and it's truly heartwarming to have such a wonderful community by my side. Now, let’s dive back into the enchanting woods of Elwynn Forest, shall we? There's much to explore! Enjoy!

Hey buddy, I used to be a pacifist musician until I saw Gladiator in the cinemas. I studied Rome, Greece, China, Egypt, Nomads, I studied stratagems from various civilizations. I studied Greek/Roman/Byzantine/Hun/Mongol Tactics, then I began playing video games. I played Strategy, Duels and Guns, when I got tired of team killers and radio spammers my friends were playing WoW First Release. My friends were in the Beta, so 1st day WoW was released I read the manual and ordered a copy. My first time online I got a girlfriend and we stayed together for 1 years, then was alured to RP-PvP Night Elf Catdruid. I became Rank 14 and retired, I am Venetian and usually get girlfriends from outside my country. I am Venetian Crusader Republican, I quit playing WoW in 2006. Regards, Alex.

In Highschool, back in 2004, I would often park my character by one of the lakes throughout Elwynn, raise my speakers, turn off my monitor, and set the music to loop while I did homework and studied. Elwynn was and always will be home.

[@Supernautiloid]

That’s awesome.

[@nightraven9258]

I always love watching your videos, seeing the people run about, casually doing their own thing, questing, having fun, not knowing they're part of your videos lol

[@Chronicler177]

I've walked Azeroth a long time, seen it through many different eyes, and visited a great number of locations that, were I to choose so, I could quite comfortably put down the hammer and shield and libram and just live. Boralus, Zandalar, Ironforge, and Pandaria come to mind. But Elwynn is HOME. Nothing else comes close. It's where I got started. I'd planned to listen to this while doing some world quests but quickly got so nostalgic that I headed to Stormwind to walk around the forest instead. It had been a while since I appreciated it and just being there was like sinking into a warm hug. This video was a wonderful tribute to it. Congrats on the anniversary! Can't wait for more!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

You expressed that beautifully, and I completely agree. Stepping back into the forests of Elwynn feels like coming home after a long journey across the diverse lands of Azeroth. It's there, among the ordinary folks of Stormwind dealing with their day-to-day 'problems,' that the world feels immensely larger. Elwynn is a place to decompress from the great threats across the world, and get your feet back on the ground, where every corner turned reveales a rich and inviting story to be told. Your description captures the deep connection many feel to this special starting zone, and I thank you for that!

[@soundguydon]

Aaaah - Elwynn. First laid eyes on that forest in 2005 after I'd left DAoC. 19 years later and it's still my favorite place in WoW. Like another person said: "It feels like home." For me it's Elwynn and the original Westfall zone. Love 'em. Of course I also find much of Pandaria beautiful and enjoy going back to visit my farm now and again, but I always return to Elwynn. Excellent video as always - thank you 🙂

[@TrippinAlpaca]

WestFall, elwynn, stormwind, and Red ridge are basically the perfect fantasy locales. I can never get enough

[@namaguederaz]

I love the Goldshire Lion´s Pride Night Club. 😁

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Who doesn't? There's no night out like a night out at the Lion's Pride Inn.

[@Patiofurnitr]

Welcome back Loremaster, long time no see. Congratulations on achieving this milestone, here's to many, many, more!!!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Thank you very much! I am happy to be back here once more, with all the other Lore seekers! See you soon in the next adventure!

[@StrobeFireStudios]

I always knew this channel would be a success. Right from the very first video, I was here. Always watching, sometimes commenting. Thank you Loremaster.

[@Tanaus]

Thank you for all that you do. Fantastic content each and every time. I wish you and your new family the best.

[@Rocky78262]

I wish all the best success to your project my friend, thanks for guiding me in revisiting my dear Elwyn Forest

[@acotscohotdog]

This made me so nostalgic and the Goldshire segment made me laugh out loud! What an absolute delight of a video. Thank you, Loremaster!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

You are very welcome! Including the nighttime escapades at the Lion's Pride Inn was a lot of fun to work on. I'm glad I could accompany you through the forests of Elwynn!

[@Lupinemancer87]

These are always such a joy.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Happy to hear it!

[@Fatalroadie]

Love hearing tales from the Loremaster!!!

[@terrytwotoes8922]

The AI lore master… 🙄

[@chipchippahson]

Top 3 zones of all time in WOW. Howling Fjord, Duskwood, and Elwynn Forest. Perfectly designed zones.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Very much so! Which zone do you think should be the setting for the next adventures?

[@Millirawk]

​@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth we gotta get eversong woods and ghost lands

[@rashkah]

Not the Goldshire night life hahaha

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Couldn't resist adding a wink to those evening escapades in the Lion's Pride Inn. Goldshire offers something for all walks of life, whether you're questing by day or exploring more... spirited activities by night!

[@larw0lf701]

I’m glad to see Goldshire’s nightlife finally gets the recognition it deserves. lol

[@MattDamon69]

What’s this? My first hairs in that region are finally making an appearance. When I get home from school later I’m going straight to Lion’s Pride Inn to show the adults. I hope they’ll still find me attractive…

[@BillAnderson-uz9zd]

What a FANTASTIC idea! Going to make popcorn brb!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Enjoy your popcorn 🍿!

[@64rsimpson]

Great script! On to your next adventure of being a great father. Congratulations to you and your family.

[@davidlejenkins]

Good to see you back. 🧐🎩

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Thank you for your patience! Great to be here again :)

[@Barbara0789]

I've recently subscribed, and I've been looking for a while for the type of videos you make about the lore of WoW! I'm so glad I finally found your content. 👋🏻😊👍🏻

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Please, feel welcome! I am glad to have you here with us on our journeys. Hope you enjoy your stay!

[@bringschuld77]

What a time to be alive :D thanks for sharing your gift of creativity :)

[@Banjogoose]

Thank you! I LOVE your lore videos so much!

[@Shervin86]

We have missed you, Lore Master! What happens in Goldshire stays in Goldshire! 😅

[@markedjanimarkedjanovic6663]

Awesome chanell ❤. I wish you thousands upon thousands more followers, you deserve it.

[@Hannah94976]

[@damosel]

[@seantracey9935]

Darkmoon Faire lore please, love this channel!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Good one, definetely on the list!

[@peakster8035]

Good work king

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Many thanks! Enjoy!

[@TrippinAlpaca]

Elwynn forest is probably the single greatest starting zone made for an MMO to date. Something about it is both serene, dangerous, and welcoming all in one. Ill never level a new character of any race anywhere else. Goldshire is my home. If they added player housing and one of the locations was elwynn, id immediately resub and buy the new xpac

[@davisjl1979]

Bravo!

[@haraldhacker]

What are U using for making those recordings of wow? Own local server? What exactly? Thx

[@ek5273]

Missing the Gnoll wars

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Indeed, I chose to do without the Gnoll Wars from the history of Elwynn Forest so the script wouldn't become too diluted. However, the gnolls and their significant impact are thoroughly covered in another video dedicated to their culture and conflicts. This approach allows for a more focused exploration of their unique role in Azeroth’s history.

[@llywas]

Is the voice AI or is it your actual voice?

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Indeed, the narration is done through AI. This approach allows for a consistent delivery of a wise and immersive storytelling experience that keeps the audience engaged and entertained.

[@notsure7060]

"One grape at a time " how long would you recon it would take to brew one cup then ? Assuming you are brewing one grape at a time to.

[@ninjanyangaming2924]

What happens in Moonguard, stays in Moonguard…😏

[@shortbusmilitia2422]

Hehehe if you know you know

[@terrytwotoes8922]

The kharazan library is better lore channel, the guy doesn’t use AI to write or voice his video like this one
