The Legend of Greatfather Winter
The term “Winter Veil” is said to stem from a supernatural being referred in many cultures to as Greatfather Winter. As he would walk the land late in the seasons, winter itself would be his billowing cloak. In his wake was the blanketing of the land in snow, and thus it is said that Greatfather Winter would cast his wintry veil over the land. Though parts of Azeroth may lie in snow, it gives the land time for rebirth and renewal.
The Dwarves
Ever consumed with the research of their origins, the dwarves choose to celebrate the season as a recognition of Greatfather Winter himself. They consider him to be the personification of one of the ancients of Azeroth – the titans. Much as they claim lineage in one degree or another to these mystical beings, they consider their snowy home of Dun Morogh as the prime example of Greatfather Winter’s blessings.
The Tauren
The tauren and their shamanistic understanding of winter, along with their recent emergence into druidic endeavors, fit in well with the legend of Winter Veil. They focus almost entirely on the renewing aspects of the lore however, leaving legend worship to those races (as they view it) less in tune with the nature of things. Many tauren choose this time as the right time to give thanks for the blessings of their new home in Mulgore.
Feasting
The idea of feasting during this time of year is one that traces its origins to the legend itself. As Greatfather Winter walked Azeroth, bringing winter in his wake, it is said he would provide a bounty for those who welcomed his presence. As such, the idea of feasting during the Winter Veil would bring together communities as they shared whatever they had. Typically, a single day of merriment and feasting welcomed the change, all in anticipation of the land’s renewal.
Modern Day Observation
Other cultures have begun to recognize the Feast of Winter Veil as a time of great celebration, though not in the same traditions as the legend bases it in. Customs, often unrelated to anything other than a chance for celebration and gift exchange, have made their way into modern day observation of the season. Even the image of Greatfather Winter is sometimes used, but more as a harbinger of commercial exploit rather than as a supernatural titan.

Winter Veil special video. I am sorry I did not get it out earlier, I've worked on Christmas and today more to recover from the time spent for the Zereth Mortis video. I have many Winterspring videos on my channel (some are gameplays) but I did not have a loop with the Winterspring (Cataclysm edition) and Day / Night Mountain (aka Dun Morogh or Classic Winterspring) tracks. I hope you will enjoy it.

How I adore WoW, especially music! But i stopped playing in 2016. And my friends said that I have not lost anything. WoW former greatness is gone 🙁
Happy holidays Meisio!
What a nice surprise to find today! Thank you very much for it! I hope that the holidays was pleasant to You, and that You were able to spend time with your family too! Thank you very much for your work and efforts! <3
thank you for this amazing video! it feels so cozy, so much like my childhood spent playing WoW during the holidays while it snowed outside, no school, no worries at all, just the seemingly endlessly outstretching world beyond the screen. the melody with the violin here is especially reminiscent of old WoW, it captures perfectly that mystical aura of a forest trapped in snow, so mysterious and nostalgic.
Love it ! 🎄
[Where Eagles Dare gradually increasing in volume in the distance]
Thank you for your videos, I always love them
Happy Winter Veil, Meisio!
I love this zone and have a trinket that takes me there 🙂
I LOVE THOSE BEARS FOR 15 YEARS!!!
Tellement de nostalgie omg … 15 ans plus tard, je n’arrive toujours pas à m’en remettre 😃 Le vrai bon vieux temps, les premières heures sur le jeu… Magique
Nice, how you edit the scenes? Are you using just zoom in? Or are you walking in wow?
Hi, Meisio. Want to leave сongratulations with new Year here.
Thanks for your work. I think, many people appreciate it )
May your activity be fruitful and rewarding. And may our lifes would be filled with joy and magic (possibly, those clear ones we experienced in world of Wow)
Happy new Year, mon. Spirits be with ya ☺
Wow when i heard the first notes i got a nostalgic erection🤫
Just started a new job. My second screen hasn't arrived yet, but I can't wait until I can have the video playing on the other screen. For now, I will just keep the sounds playing in the background. It is so good for my work focus.
What I loved about this zone was the fact that the Alliance players always helped me.
Man I really loved this zone. Everlook was such a fun place in pvp servers. You could not stand ur guard down here.
This is going to get me through some hard work days, much appreciated as always. Hope you are doing well, my friend.
Thank u for this atmosphere, even not in wow i can enjoy it !
I can remember dragging guildmates here to kill the demons for the eye of shadow for Benediction. Fortunately, it only took an hour of farming. Never came up here for much else than occasional pvpbut I did do most of the quests and have some good memories. I remember one rogue player that spent countless hours farming for rep for that special mount here. Hello to any old vanilla Shadowmoon players.
Been playing only 4 years, a lot can happen in just 4 years. I was 16 then and I remember running around winterspring for the very first time. Knowing nothing and just taken away with the vibe of the zone. Legion was my first expansion and I didn't know what end game was like. But I woulda stayed subbed just to sit in these classic zones and take naps.
I hear no sound
Ahh the memories of staying up until 2AM as a dwarf hunter just to tame the rare RakShiri saber cat. Great times!
Keep coming back to this one over and over and over I can’t stop listening to it. Thank you meisio <3
i loved it till wow classic.
I miss this place and the days of when wow was great 😢
Cant remember how long i solo farmed those Elite Drakins for the Blue Scale to craft my Epic Quiver…
Kinda funny, how in Vanilla you were more often in late Game Zones farming stuff for an eternity, than in some other Addons (WOTLK provided no reason to leave Dalaran at all…)
Been coming back to this video this holiday season, so good! Every single one of my characters hits 60 in winter spring, it’s tradition
Where can you find Santa preparing to leave in this zone?
Damn those poor Goblins chose the coldest possible place to make a settlement..
