Hello everybody, and welcome back to another video here on the channel! Today, we unlock the mysteries surrounding morrowgrain, a little-known herb from Classic WoW that has quite a few implications for the wider game!

And still people will say that Blizzard does not foreshadow 2-3 xpacs ahead 😀
Love your vids as always. I take it you're going to start making more videos on quest lines in the future? Love the idea. Very niche, but honestly a great idea.
I think the only time I ever read quests was wayyy back in vanilla before I knew about addons haha. So it's great to actually see/hear what was actually going on lore wise in the quests that I missed. I think you're on to something 😀
EDIT: Seriously I need more of these vids in my life! I think this is my favorite video of yours yet
You sound like hamsterwheel
Emerald dream was corrupted by Xavius. Un'Goro is not connected to the emerald dream. No dream lore and no emerald dream portals in Un'goro. Barrens Wailing Caverns, is connected to Emerald dream, due to a satyr opening a portal to it through Narthalax, or whatever the nightelfs name is at the last boss, the guy sleepin lol. Un'Goro and Sholazar Basin are actually connected to the Titans. Titans used both as naturally separated biodomes, to study life unfettered. Thats why Un'Goro has those titan stations on the mountains edge, same with Sholazar, and yes Sholazar has more obvious signs of Titans. And instead of Aqir invading the basin, its Undead, and the saronite leaking off a melting glacier.
Morrowgraine, the Soilbringer.
Ooh I love this theory! I do love some Night Elf story-related theories, since they were one of my favorites to play in the game. I wish the intriguing story could have been more fleshed out in-game, especially with all these pieces of the puzzle you pointed out already existing within the world. Do you think maybe Maraudon could have potentially been related too? I know the storyline there is a bit different, but it's also interesting that the most lush part of the dungeon is also tied to the Keeper and the Princess…
Another link to the ungoro soil being corrupted is during the Emerald Nightmare raid, the boss Il'gynnoth (I butchered that name lol) is located in Un Goro crater. Most likely the boss has been slowly corrupting Un Goro Crater and the soil used is the result starting to happen.
You gained a sub
Dayum, I've always loved wow lore but somehow I've missed the whole Fandral story even though I remembered finding him sus when leveling my first ever character (NE) and then just going "ha, knew it" during cata years later on a different main. That was great thanks! ^^
I don't even play WoW anymore but I love your videos. Keep it up!
I'm a simple man. I see a JediWarlock video, I click on it.
Wonderful video. Since i dont play alliance i didnt know how deep the questline weny.
I'm convinced now that fandral also used the morrowgrain to keep empowering the cursed branch that was put into teldrassil. The same branch that was from the tree prison that Xavius was held in.
sick man 🙂
I think the biggest support of your idea about The Cleft and that being the place where we confront Fandral is supported by the fact that blizzard originally intended to have an “Emerald Dream” raid/zone during vanilla wow. Perhaps they were laying the foundation for our journey into the emerald dream to save malfurion and fight Fandral with this un goro soil quest chain and never got around to finishing it in-game during vanilla!
Great vid!
Great video, was very interested in this and just so happen to do both quests in everlook a few weeks ago
I enjoyed a lot this theory 🙂 it highlights some parts of wow that are quiet well hidden
Don't forget that Il'gynoth is in The Emerald Nightmare version of Un'goro crater, in the Legion raid. Perhaps that's just more clues to suggest C'thun corruption already mentioned, but still seems more directly relevant.
I think the theme of The Old Gods corrupting the earth was one they had in mind from the start,
Great video, they are always so enjoying! No longer playing, though it's always good to revisit the lore with so much attention to tiny details via these videos! Thanks!
"And now helps to lead the elves to this day" – yeah, about that. Unfortunately Malfurion (had enough of Tyrande's crap and) decided to stay in Shadowlands on the pretext of allowing Ysera to be revived.
According to the story, Teldrassil didn't get ALL of the blessings from the dragon flights after the Hyjal tree was scorched and Staghelm set up the replacement tree. The furbolgs lived on the land previously then the tree grew underneath them. There are signs of huts down below the eastern furbolg camps at sea level. There were satyr and corrupted furbolgs present throughout the tree. There were 2-3 mutated / strange fruit/plants (quests) plus one of the large plant elementals had a tumor (gives a quest).
Teldrassil wasn't well and Staghelm losing his son from the War of the Shifting Sands still weighed on him. I don't know when Staghelm "changed sides" but he definitely had help getting there.
I remember doing this quest way back in the day. It was so strange, and I actually loved that the questline ended so abruptly and mistiriously. I wish they just kept it that way, secrets lose all they charm and mistery when they are revealed. At the end the reveal was kind of a let down. It is way more fun to speculate about the misteries than actually knowing the truth. Same with the missing diplomat questline, or the Ashbringer. WoW was so much interesting back then.
I remember farming a ton of Morrowgrain on my orc warlock back in Vanilla.
I'm glad it went into poisoning that purple scum! Fwahahahahahahahahaha!
cata ruins another good plot mystery.
more like legolassian
You solved the mystery! The game is over!
Credits roll
I really like this approach!
Man, really love your videos! <3
i had never ever noticed these things until you pointed them out in this video and i was like huh that makes alot of sense why this stuff exists very good video
Sucks that I was helping him. I remember gathering these.
Fun part is We find out what stag hound was up to… to degree… Whether he created his subfaction to fight the corruption or created it because of the corruption we don't know.
I need more like this. Bro you have potential to fill a niche that I have been looking for on YouTube for years now. Classic wow lore deep dives
Nice lore dive.
/cong bro you have a new sub (Y)
The Evergreen Herb Pouch had a 15 minute cooldown during Vanilla and TBC. They likely removed the chance of the Evergreen Herb Casing containing crafting herbs with the change to the pouch.
Love the video👍 maybe add some music for background ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Very interesting lore for an item that many classic players probably don't even think about.
Seeing how Teldrassil's corruption is a prevailing theme in the zone, I think Fandral purposely corrupting the tree is pretty solid.
It's particularly tragic that Fandral was corrupted by the same entity that was responsible for the death of his son.
video I really enjoy your videos and my only critique if any would be the sound quality is a little off I think investing in a better microphone would probably help a lot. Also, maybe some sound deadening pads to place around the room where you’re doing the recording at to help cut down on a little bit of the background noise.
This was fkin awesome. Make more of these
I think this is a great content. deep diving a quest on wow for RPG feel.
because it's hard for casual player to follow any story in wow. i never read, just skip lol.
keep up the great work Jedi,
Is this why Sylvanas Windrunner burned down teldrassil. She knew …
i really love it when questlines span multiple areas and have interesting stories, reminds me of runescape's grandmaster quests. i feel the like the nature of the expansion cycle makes blizzard hesitant to use old areas for this type of thing more in modern WoW (though the heritage quests have been a good start)
I always wondered about morrowgrain. Thanks for making videos about such old lore still!
Id have loved if the emerald dream was in vanilla. The scope, sky box, and surreal landscapes give me a very uncanny feeling. Youre not supposed to be there, and yet you boldly go and use this dreamscape to your advantage and parse the subconscious truths from fictions.
The sleeper must awaken!
Wow, I did this quest a few weeks ago, and wondered what this story was all about.
This is my favorite jediwarlock video.
Good pacing. Good shots. Plesant experience. Also informative.
That makes a lot of sense when you put it that way!
As a horde player i never knew anything was up with this stuff other than good xp
The quest every neglects to talk about in regards of Teldrassil's corruption is the Thresher quests in Darkshore. You can find numerous dead Threshers corpses along the beaches in Darkshore to the point where it stops being coincidence.
Apparently the threshers are purposefully beaching themselves in an attempt to swim away from Teldrassil
