Hey there Warcraft fans! I just wanted to take the chance to invite you all to come play another great RTS game called Warcraft II, we provide a quick 15mb download of the game on our website and no cd or cd key is required to play on our online server.
Well, Technically this was a vision granted to Thrall by Medivh, and he could have easily seen the future... or, this was simply an oversight by Blizzard :D
You know what's truly epic? This. That word has been thrown around too much nowadays.
Warcraft 3's cinematics were epic. This is the benchmark by which all works should be held against, not Hollywood or some such bullshit, as if after this past decade Hollywood's still something worth writing home about. XD
I enjoy the Warcraft mythos a great deal because unlike much other fantasy, Orcs ((At least Post-Mannoroth Orcs)) are depicted as a far nobler race. Thrall's biggest wish is to lead his people to freedom and peace. While Humans are depicted as a species who, while still holding the remnants of nobility have become little more than petty kingdoms led by a xenophobic psycho squabbling over land and power in the aftermath of a power vacuum. As a fiction writer myself, I applaud Blizzard on this.
Yeah, I love that too about the universe of warcraft. all the "bestial" creatures of the horde are more than they appear. I guess that's true also in real life: ugly is not neccessarily evil, just as beautiful is not innately good. I love the fact that they challenge this old concept depicted in most fairytales with handsome princes and ugly ogres. I guess the world would be a better place if we applied the philosophy of seeing behind mere appearance also in real life. atleast that's my creed
As was all high fantasy of today. Unless it predates Lord of The Rings, all fantasy of swords and magic and shields and valiant heroes is going to take inspiration from it. Warcraft, most D&D campaign supplements, Wheel of Time, Eragon, hell, even Harry Potter. If it wasn't written prior to Tolkein's masterworks, than it most definitely draws inspiration from it. I'm not saying they rip him off, they're just inspired by it.
Yes that's true.But even Tolkien's LotR is inspired.The Elves for example are mythical Norse creatures allmost the same as the LotR Elves (androgynous, beautiful, etc.)
Actually, in mythology, Elves are more often than not depicted as small humanoids with pointed ears, closer in height to Warcraft's Gnomes than anything else. They come from Irish and other Celtic mythologies generally though they are also present in Norse myth. I never said Tolkein's work was completely original so don't assume I did, he was a professor of language and a scholar of mythology, of course he was inspired by older works.
Human Story: Relatively speaking, Humanity is one of the world's youngest races. Unlike Elves and Dwarves, Humans live brief lives full of change and strife
that "bird guy" is called Medivh a prophet if you will that has opened a dark portal bringing the orcs under the control of the legion to azeroth. for this he was executed. but he revived somehow. and now the legion is coming to destroy azeroth and medivh is warning all of the "bosses" (lolz) of both factions to stand together and defeat the legion
Old gods WERE never the good guys. Medivh did NOT have any allegiance to the Old Gods. He did not even harm them during his lifetime. Also, Medivh wasn't tricked by them and didn't want to lead EVERY race to safe place for protection from demons.
Medivah is not evil, he trusted the gods and he killed all the good gods(most of them) and now he knows he is tricked and wants to lead every race except demons away to a diffrent place because the demons ARE coming.
@Zrotten1 dude, Medivah was evil, he was possessed by Sargares his whole life. the old gods are not in any way related to the events of WC3, the Demons want to take over Azeroth, thats the whole premise of the game
Warcraft's lore is so raped, ravaged, abused, and rewritten that it doesn't matter. The characters of Medivh and his mother have been so drastically changed through ret con that it's not worth thinking about. Same with orcs and draenei. Nevermind what they did to the demons and gods.
@Karimska9 as syz said but in the books he has some irrational decisions. medivh is the most neutral person in Warcraft. He is entitled as Magus Medivh (he took the tittle from his mother Magna Aegwynn) that means he is the protector of balance in azeroth or was, so to speak. with him leyline of great maguses stopped. at least i think so. Rhonin is now believed to be that kind of preserver. but he's merely the leader of Kirin Tor.
well for one warcraft is the beginning and to understand world of warcraft and enjoy it and know why they call the expantions burning crusade and wrath of the lich king you need to know the story and thats why warcraft is so amazing and better then Wow. it acctualy has a story. :)
It would have made it easier than it already was if they had just stayed on the hilltop and waited for the orcs to waste thier energy on running to them
go to wowwiki (with a com) and hey, im fan of medieval fantasy too. =D You can also buy Warcraft novels from bookstore, the newest was release like 3 or 4 months ago, i think. (I read Shannara, another medieval fantasy story)
Lol.. fuk this annoys me.. you all know what's going on and i'm watching these vids going "who the fk are these ppl??" .. god damnit, someone tell me plz how I can read or find out about the Warcraft story.. from the start of the series to World of Warcraft. Plz plz plz, i'm a huge medi-eval fantasy fan.. i must read this story!!
cairne carries a HUGE AXE :D im a big tauren fan :D same with horde big fan lol they just so cool, first time i ever saw this vid on the game i was blown away.
Thrall is Durotan's son he carries a 600 pound hammer with one hand. Oh yeah that crow is a prophet. The one that saved everyone.Humans vr Orcs = most likly orcs.

Medivh did open the Dark portal when he was under corruption of the Titan Sargeras.
He was killed some years later in his home Karazhan by his disciple Khadgar, who senced the demon pressence in his master.
He's kinda immortal since he is the last guardian of tiristfall and in possetion of limitless power.
He tries to make up for his past mistakes.
