yes?
😮 what is this!
very cool
Wow! I was always wondering what's up with the undead in the Westfall, though I assumed they were somehow connected to Duskwood (Duskwood having a dark necromantic theme and all). Amazing video!
oh wow, im quite familiar with all the parts in this but never pieced it together. it instantly clicked the second I saw this video pop in my sub box!
Always happy to see a JediWarlock video! Keep up the great work my man 🙂
This is why Jedi's lore videos are the best. They're not some copy of a copy about stuff lore nerds already knew, they're ACTUAL deep dives into something only people who are insane (i.e. read quest test lol) would even have the chance of figuring out.
Another amazing one!
Nice video, glad you're feeling better and can't wait for the next one.
Finally someone who noticed it, too! I told my dad about it back when we played together and he called me a lunatic 😂
Great info helping tie in the nooks and crannies we may not have seen for this whole Defias plan.
I love me a good deep dive
Jediwarlock always makes the best and most original WoW lore videos our there. As said by other commentators, most other lore content makers are just reposting standard info you can get from Wowwiki or the Chronicle books. This is truly unique and always a delight to watch.
Jediwarlock: "The land of Azeroth is one of adventure and countless mysteries."
Also Jediwarlock: <meticulously counts the mysteries and makes videos about them>
So much I didn't know. This was essentially a small scale Scourge threat. Mind domination taking over the world is a returning threat.
hey, you should tackle who REALLY summoned Arikara and who was it's REAL target
Hi Jedi!
I believe you!
I love that your videos give actual new information and lore. Keep up the fantastic work!
Wow you are literally the ONLY person I've ever heard mention this, at ALL, especially on YouTube lol. I mean, as you say in the beginning, this tiny little story thread is not only spread across continents, but class quests and factions. At times I would have figured I was the only person who even had heard about this, if it wasn't for the fact parts of it were pointed out to me by others like a decade ago haha.
This video is NSFWestfall.
after hours and hours of lore videos by different creators, one could easily be mistaken to think they've learnt all there is to know about the wow story so far, but this was all completely new info to me
amazing especially after all these years of the game being out
10/10 vid
Wake up way too early in the morning, be pissed, see jedi warlock video, day saved! ❤
There is a very important part you missed out on this deep dive, the quest chain to save Yenniku on the Horde side.
This chain involves helping a troll witch doctor in saving the soul of a Darkspear troll called Yenniku who was poisoned and controlled by Zanzil, in this quest we require to gather singing crystals from basilisks not unlike the crystals gathered for Crank and in fact there's plenty of crystallized miners around the cave inhabited by basilisks. We are told there crystals are magical and can help us channel the power of an artifact called "The Mind's Eye" to retrieve Yenniku's soul from his body. In the end you manage to find Yenniku and trap his soul in the Mind's Eye, return him to the witch doctor and set his soul free even if his body is gone.
This is very in line with old voodoo folklore of zombies, while the popular depiction of zombies is the living dead the old folklore depicts zombies as brainless slaves controlled by voodoo magic through a long process of rituals. The involvement of the singing crystals points at some sort of magic being involved, whether Crank knows about their magical properties or how to use it is left untold.
It's very cool how the Alliance gets to see the side of the poison being used to build an army while the Horde gets the learn more about its witch doctor and voodoo origins.
I love that Zanzil uses the Alpha era model which itself uses a lot of animations either based on or directly taken from the WC3 Forest/Frost/Shadow troll model. Just with a Jungle Troll skin. Oddly these models are not used for actual Forest Trolls until early Burning Crusade where they were used for the lesser amani forces OUTSIDE Zul Aman in Ghostlands and Eversong, before that the in game forest trolls are all just green Jungle trolls. Then mid Burning Crusade Zul Aman came out and the brief era of the Forest Trolls using the model and skeleton from the Alpha ended!
1:23 I have never found any playable version of the troll on the right's shoulders there.
5:04 Should have said Green Hills, go all out.
Opening the box in the tower gives you a "Touch of Zanzil" curse so conection is even more obvious.
