Thanks for tuning into another part of my World of Warcraft experience.
It’s been a WHILE since I first watched some WoW cinematics to gain a glimpse into the world of Azeroth. I have a LOT to catch up on, clearly. Cause I have no idea what was going on.
Nice to see I remembered Anduin and Thrall at least!
Are you excited for this expansion? Let me know!
And remember, you can catch me live at https://www.twitch.tv/galaxyaus !

It's so great to have Chris Metzen back with WoW.
I'm so hyped for this! It's a bit weird how everything was clearly aimed at people who are already very familiar with the story, but I'm happy they did it this way, because instead of a generic hype trailer we got a really meaningful, slow and dramatic character moment. Hopefully the story will give newer players a bit of context once the expansion comes out… 🙂
I have LOTS of WoW story to catch up on – good thing I'm working on that!
Are you excited for this new chapter? Let me know!

TL;DR: Anduin was corrupted by Sylvanas, and nearly helped the villain win, but his dad's spirit helped brink him back from the edge and he temporarily abdicated so he could go off and…basically find himself.
Also…yeah, it's been sort of a running joke that Blizz have been pretending that sword didn't exist.
Also also, is it just me or does the CGI in their trailers keep getting better?
Yes it's Thrall
he was mind controlled by zoval and try to kill us
As both a ff14 player and former wow player i am excited for both dawntrail and this new wow expansion
ANDUIN! YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY! xD hehe… had to
That was epic. Like you i have no idea what has happened to that point but that Cinematic is pulling me back in to wanting to try WoW again.
Oof, looking at your phone during the most important part during a reaction. ouch.
"who is calling to us…?" Hydaelyn?
Anduin here is awesome. And so real. If you've seen people after they've survived a battle, or a tragedy, that's the look they have in their eyes. That's the expression they have. It was once called Shell Shock. Now it's PTSD. That thousand yard stare… It's one of the heart stopping, blood chilling things you'll ever (hopefully) see. The only time it can be more horrible is when you look in the mirror and you see it there.
Andddd you are looking down at your phone during the most important part, missing the delicacy and the change of expression on Anduin's face. Lmao.
thx for the reaction
It's not that big of a sword. Besides it's all about how you use it, not the size 😒😒
Cannonically, The Hoard and Alliance are at peace now, but Anduin has always been friends with several Hoard leaders. I think he holds out his sword to show he's traumatized, and Thrall stepping forward to stabilize his trembling means he's there for Anduin, of course Anduin wasn't going to actually hurt Thrall, they're kinda buddies. Anduin is a priest (even though he wears plate), they use holy or "light" magic, after what he was mind controlled to do in Shadowlands, he doesn't feel worthy of the light, what awesome is Thrall has been a mentor to him, and has gone thru the same thing, with his connection being to the earth and the elements and doubting himself.
