Warcraft Chronicles of the Second War | Tides of Darkness | Chapter 10 | Destruction of Stratholme

[@littlebrother9380]

This entire city must be purged

[@Andy-B187]

The overall title, such as Orc, must be maintained and cultivated. Thus, we need to annihilate 'em all. Gul'dan betrayed us in the very crucial moment, and we got the shame, embarrassment, and the third war. Our Orc's crusade could have finished if we had Quel'talas lied in ruins... Since then, I can't fathom how come by the need of power Gul'dan who pledged allegiance to Orgrim the Doomhammer and the Horde broke his own oath and made the high treason which resulted in splitting and departure of the marvelous trolls from Amani tribe and disintegration of the 2nd Horde itself, when the victory was near, and them miserable Elves was about to fall, like it was on Draenor with Dreneas who were obliterated

The difference is Arthas says this entire city MUST be purged

[@maksymilianziele28]

"Every dog has its days, Teron, and this yours..." Such a powerful line coming from the most evil orc in Warcraft.and the first orcish warlock. Chronicles really made Gul'dan Palpatine of Star Wars with his scheming and evil laugh. Good work! 🙂

[@justaguy5266]

I've long awaited the arrival of Deathknights, and as expected Doomhammer was a little disgusted of them, but too much pragmatic to refuse them

[@maksymilianziele28]

His disgust was overshadowed by his excitement. As he himself put it, he was so full of delight from having new weapons for the war that he had ignored his own instincts, warning him about Gul'dan's selfishness, about warlock always plotting behind his back.

[@PerfectSuperCell]

He needed them to have a good advantage against the Alliance and the Silver Hand. The first generation was dangerous because they are something really new in the War between orcs and humans / Quel'thalas, mainly made to make fear in battle. But this generation had lack of fighting skills compare to the second and third generation, who had incredible fighting skill and power coming directly from the Maw and the Shadowlands.

[@maksymilianziele28]

I wouldn't be surprised that part of Doomhammer was glad (to his own self hatred) that his best friend was not alive to see what just happened. Working with Guldan, who ruined them all in the first place, and whose minions murdered him and his wife, for the genocidal war which was meant to bring their kind a new home was bad enough, but the creation of Death Knights from souls of those who were with the warlock and bodies of defeated humans? To orcs before Gul'dan came, bodies of fallen warriors who died in honor were a sacred thing, not to be desecrated. Durotan would see this as a prove that his best friend embraced the war too much and became no better than his predecessor, Blackhand (or even worse because the Destroyer was at least weak minded with big ego, enough to be easily controlled, unlike Orgrim).

[@ZoomReverseFlash]

@@s.m.2523 It was in WC2, before the crappy novels retconned it. All the destructions of cities aside from Lordaeron's Capital City in WC2 were canon, which is why in Beyond the Dark Portal the Eye of Dalaran was created to quickly rebuild the Alliance cities.

This was very inconsistent throughout the campaign. I believe only Zuluhed could do it because of his shamanism.

Beyond of Dark Portal. Wish list soon.

[@Typanoid]

Human campaign first, otherwise there'll be a huge story gap, and those are annoying. They did a remix of the Beyond the Dark Portal Orc song, so I'm pretty sure a Beyond the Dark Portal campaign is planned.

[@DIEGhostfish]

It does feel weird to fit ALL these victories that were declared "noncanon" back in, it's gonna make the Alliance coming back feel strange. Or have they said that this is going to be like WC2 itself with a noncanon and canon campaign?

[@girlgarde]

This campaign will clearly be declared non-canon except of course for some events in it such as Hillsbrad being razed, Tol Barad falling, the Northlands getting attacked and Gul'dan's betrayal/death. Rest assured that the Alliance will win the Second War in canon, just not in this alternate universe campaign.

[@DIEGhostfish]

@@girlgarde Fair, some of these campaigns definitely felt like the intent was to make it a sequential WC3 style Double Canon campaign, but Stromgarde and Stratholme make it clear that it's not.

[@atreyos9449]

@@girlgarde but how? i understand that the alliance campaign continues but they can't make a direct continuation of the orc campaign since it is checkmate for the horde, lordaeron fell, stratholme was devastated, the hearts of the men of lordaeron are broken, dalaran is exposed and will obviously fall, silvermoon is very weakened, the dwarves are cornered, zuljin can still regain his revenge and the betrayal of guldan did not weaken them practically, since it seems false to me that doomhammer says they are weakened when the blackrock clan does not seem to have suffered too many losses in the war.

[@Typanoid]

They didn't get the hint that maybe they should resettle a couple miles further up the coast and call their new town something else. Then again, if they rebuild a third time, their persistence may be rewarded. After all, Stormwind City got sacked twice, but the third time proved the charm :P

I’m confused, I thought ner’zhul created the death knights, not gul’dan? I know this campaign changes the lore, but that was an important plot point. Not to mention ner’zhul became the lich king, not gul’dan

[@OutsiderXE]

No contradiction here. Gul'dan created the first death knights in WC2. Years later Ner'zhul became the Lich King and created his own version of death knights.

[@Arthas972]

@@OutsiderXE ah, I see. It's been a while since I played the original, mb I'm surprised ner'zhul's never mentioned in this. He was a bit of a freakshow himself back in the day, pre-lich king. If I remember the lore right, he led the horde on draenor

@@Arthas972I assume he will be a prominent character when they do Beyond the Dark Portal.

@@OutsiderXE and in the meantime Ner'zhul had to use Gul'dan's death knights during the Beyond the Dark Portal campaign. They later became his liches.

[@Andy-B187]

@vilemk69z98 Yes, he definitely did, but in order to keep the vibe or spirit of the lore, sometimes we gotta spend more time as seems to be. By this, I mean that playing such a race like an Orc we gotta be like the Orcs - bloodthirsty and ruthless sowing havoc and death. In the game itself, we must raze to the ground ALL the buildings, structures, and edifices cause we are the ORCS, we must maintain this during the game proofing who we are and where we come from as a formidable race vs pathetic, feeble, frail, despicable, bickering hum@ns, that exactly what I would like to see, seas and rivers of gore, piles of corpses, burned houses. I want to set free my imagination by giving free will to my mind, or am I not the Orc or Ogre, descending from the Cho'gall or Ogre-mage Mogor! For the Horde!!!
