Hello everyone!
Last week we talked about Varian nearly losing his life to the twilights hammer cult, but
his son Anduin brought him back.
Garrosh pushed forward with his plans of conquering the world by attacking theramore and the war
eventually made its way to pandaria.
His Horde is crumbling beneath him though, the darkspear rebellion is on its way and
the alliance is unified like never before.
Meanhile in the city of Orgrimmar, Warchief Garrosh Hellscream sent goblin dig teams all
across the continent of Pandaria.
He promised gold and riches to any who could discover for him the hidden secrets of this
land that fill Pandaria with suck a dark and powerful energy.
To my surprise, his people have found something!
Right here, in the sacred vale!
What will happen now?"
What happens now is that Garrosh has found the heart of the old god Y'shaarj which
he drops in the sacred waters of vale to empower it, causing a massive explosion and destruction
to the land.
It was time to siege Orgrimmar and kick Garrosh out of the mantle of warchief.
Both the alliance and the horde rebellion worked together on this, but at Bladefist
bay we discovered that Vol'jin's rebellion was unable to secure the bay.
Warlord Zaela and her dragonmaw are holding the shores and we must take out their canons
before our ships can make landfall so we do just that...
"You think you have won?
We are orcs pure of blood, commanded by the greatest warchief who has ever lived.
Your blood will fill this bay."
"Well done.
Landing parties form up, footman to the front."
"The Dragonmaw are supporting the warchief."
"Yes.
My scouts learned all about this one.
"Warlord Zaela."
bring her proto-drake down and the rest of the Dragonmaw will crumble."
"We're going to need some serious fire power."
Commandeer those towers!
Turn the anti-air batteries around and blast her from the sky.
Some of you should stay behind and hold the landing zone."
"Dragonmaw clan, retake the docks and push them into the sea!
In the name of Hellscream and the true horde!"
"Roaaaargh, it worked!
The proto-drake is falling!"
"Death" "We've done it."
"Giggle, the bigger they are..."
"We'll hold the docks for the remaining landing parties.
Follow the path to the gates of Orgrimmar and make contact with Vol'jin and his revolutionaries."
"We'll see if he managed to keep up his end of the bargain."
The gates crumble and our forces take on everything that Garrosh has to offer from his dark shaman
to his captured dinosaurs, even the minions of the old gods are unable to hold us back
until finally Garrosh is the only one left standing.
He has a vision for his true horde and will stop at nothing at making that vision at reality,
but not even with the powers of an old god is he able to stop the combined might of the
alliance and the horde and the warchief is finally brought low.
"No....it cannot end like this...What I....What I have seen...."
*Garrosh is sleepy now* "You disapoint me, Garrosh.
You are not worthy of your fathers legacy."
CLANG "His punishment is not for you alone to
decide."
"I won't let you take him."
"We have all suffered from his atrocities.
My people more then any other.
Let him stand trial in Pandaria.
There we will meet out justice for all" Mmmmkay
"Look at them.
Already they plot against us.
Sieze this moment Varian, dismantle the Horde."
"GUARDSMEN!"
"Father – What are you doing?"
"What a king must do.
I will speak to your warchief!"
"I speak for the Horde."
Yep it's true, voljin is the warchief "Very well.
The horde has committed heinous crimes Vol'jin.
But some among you fought against Garrosh's tyranny.
For that I am willing to end this bloodshed.
But know this.
If your Horde fails to uphold honor, as Garrosh did....We will end you."
Despite working together for this very moment, when it came down to it neither side was willing
to let the other take the killing blow.
Instead they decide to place him on trial while Varian speaks with the new warchief
Vol'jin and is willing to end the bloodshed.
He explains that the desire to inflict more suffering on the Horde is one that he understands,
but how many more alliance will number among the dead if we invaded Thunder Bluff, Azshara
and the Echo isles/ How we would we govern the conquered people?
Today we've won justice and have given the Horde an oppertunity to atone by supporting
their rebellion.
Further bloodshed would be for vengeance alone – and it would reap vengeance in return.
He'd rather focus on winning the peace, station a garrison near Theramore, investigate
cleansing the plague from Gilnean Lands so they can rebuild and they must contain Sylvanas.
From here on forward, the Alliance will be proactive.
Never again can there be another the likes of Hellscream.
Anduin of course agrees with his father and thinks that replacing a warmonger with a leader
they can work with is their only chance for peace in the future while Jaina is the complete
opposite.
She believes Wrynn will rue the day he allowed the Horde to name another warchief.
We should have kept fighting, who's to say that in a few years, this new warchief won't
get any ideas in his troll head?
It's interesting to see how Jaina embodies what Varian used to be and Anduin what Varian
wants to be, while Anduin in turn is trying to be more like his father.
Either way this concludes the events in Pandaria which leads us to the novel war crimes in
which Garrosh's trial took place.
This book was used as a refreshed on the lore while also wrapping on some of the storylines
that have been going on while also opening the way for the next expansion.
The trial takes place in pandaria with Tyrande as the accuser and Baine trying to defend
Garrosh.
Witnesses are called to stand too which the bronze dragons Chromie and Kairozdormu use
the hour glass of time to show past events to the courtroom, to grant them visions of
the past.
Even Varian was called to be a witness in which they showed the moment of dragging Moira
out of her bed, Anduin talking some sense into him and the formation of the council.
Baine asked the king if he believed people could change.
He was not the man he was several years ago so if he had made those changes, could some
like garrosh?
Too which the king could give no different answer but yes.
Tyrande then questioned him, asked if in his darkest moments he had ever calculatedly planned
and executed a plan to exterminate the entire population of a major city?
No replied Varian too which Tyrande turned around and proclaimed that while King Varian
may indeed have dealt with similar challenges like Garrosh, he is not, has not been, and
will never be the same as Garrosh Hellscream.
Remember how during the wrath of the lich king period these 2 were so very similar and
now look at the path each of them walked.
Varian kept an open mind and listened to those around him and yes also underwent a ritual
to regain control while Garrosh surrounded himself with people that followed his ideas
of the world and anyone that disagreed was either cast out or struck down.
Now there is a fair bit to say about Garrosh and the path that he followed, but perhaps
that's a subject for another day.
The trial reached its end, but the verdict didn't matter since the black dragon Wrathion
and the Bronze Kairozdormu worked together on setting Garrosh free.
Wrathion had seen a vision of the legion returning to azeroth and he wanted nothing more then
to secure the future of the planet and keep it safe.
"You were there!
Is it true then what happened in Orgrimmar?
That fool king!
I did everything in my power.
The whole world was his.
He needed only seize it.
Ow sure another year of fighting, enormous casualties trying to take thunderbluff, but
the rest of the horde would have caved eventually.
Tong, drink, NOW!
What?
Yes, I was backing the alliance.
I thought Hellscream's victory was assured before he turned half the horde against him,
so I changed my allegiance.
Ow don't looks so surprised!
I'm a black dragon, my loyalties are my own.
But that idiot, IDIOT, Wrynn.
High King indeed!
Why did he allow another warchief?
He could have united the world under the alliance banner.
What a fool I was to trust his ambition.
Should have taken over the throne room myself, like auntie onyxia.
Get things done.
HIYA"
And now they decided to take Garrosh back in time , around 35 years from our perspective
to an alternate reality in which the orcs were just about to drink the demon blood offered
by Gul'dan and the Legion.
With Warlords Zaela, who had survived the siege orgrimmar, and the infinite dragonflight
attacking the temple, Kairoz and Garrosh used the hour glass of time and made their escape.
The attack was repelled when Zaela realized their mission of setting garrosh free was
accomplished, but Wrathion's plans didn't go exactly as planned.
Garrosh had not learned a thing over the years, had no intention of leading this alternate
horde in the defense of Azeroth, instead he murdered Kairoz and formed the Iron Horde
not to defend Azeroth, but to attack it.
To conquer it with the horde he invisions, conquer it and make it the world he had dreamed
of.
The Dark portal turned red, the iron horde tried to invade Azeroth and the draenei Maraad
informs Varian about the warlords of our time, the warlords we were about to face.
"King Varian, the hour grows late.
You must sign the declaration of war."
"Sigh, I was just a child when my father rushed to face this same evil.
He didn't understand these warlords at all.
That mistake cost him his life and brought this kingdom to ruin."
"You are not your father."
"I know, but how can I succeed where he failed?"
SMACK "You can start by trusting my council.
I have faced them before."
"On Draenor...You were there, all those years ago."
"Yes...believe me they are not invincible."
"Then tell me of them Maraad, tell me everything."
"Very well..."
Maraad informs the king of what he knows about Kargath Bladefist, Grommash Hellscream, Durotan,
Kilrogg and last but not least, his own history with the Horde and why he so desperately wants
to fight them.
You now know their leaders.
You know what forged them into the monstrosities they have become.
Put your seal on that order and I will be the first to answer the call.
Why are you so eager for this fight, Maraad?
For a paladin, you seem as bloodthirsty as the enemy.
It is not blood I seek.
When you look at me, what do you see?
I see a paragon, a champion of the Light.
What you cannot see is the burden I carry each day."
He was there when the orcs assaulted Shattrath city and he was orderd to take the refugees
to safety.
Instead of fullfilling his mission, he let the burning desire for revenge take hold as
he left the refugees to find their own way so he could go back and murder some orcs.
Satisfied he went back to search for the refugees but found all of them dead on the streets.
The light he had promised would be with them, had forsaken them instead...just as he had...
"I know I may not return.
But if there is even the barest chance of preventing the atrocities I witnessed from
happening again... then I offer myself gladly.
We are all haunted by the past, Maraad.
Few of us ever get the opportunity... to change it.
Varian puts his seal on the declaration of war as the scene shifts to the Stormwind bell
tower, who is ringing in the coming of dawn, and thereafter to the Stormwind army marching
through the Valley of Heroes.
Summon our champions.
Make ready for war.
Azeroth needs its heroes now more than ever."
And so the call went out for Azeroth's champions to venture forth through the dark portal and
take the battle to the Iron Horde.
Both the alliance and horde stood together against the might of the Iron Horde, but Varian
himself didn't play a major part during Warlords of Draenor.
He showed up to congratulate the general on his successes in the campaign and with the
garrison, but as we slowly but surely dismanttled the Iron Horde, alternate Gul' dan saw his
oppertunity and offered the demon blood once more.
This time there was no garrosh to stop the orcs since we had already killed him and Gul'dan
took control of the Iron Horde and turned it into the Fel Horde.
We now had to assault Hellfire Citadel within Tanaan Jungle and Varian showed up to offer
his insight as to what we should do.
A direct assault would take a heavy toll, but the sea lanes were open.
If we would attack by both land and sea, then Gul'dan's Horde would have no quarter.
It's time to build ourselves a shipyard and assault tanaan by sea and establish a
foothold.
"Everything rests upon your shoulders, commander.
Build a navy so we can assault Gul'dan from all sides.
Good luck!"
We did just that, we ventured forth into tanaan jungle, assaulted hellfire citadel itself
and brought down anything and everything Gul'dan had in store for us.
Not even Archimonde himself was strong enough to take us out and we liberated draenor from
the legion's influence.
"Gul'dan, you made a pact....NO!"
However, the whole reason why this connection between Azeroth and alternate draenor came
to be was because of Wrathion and his vision of the Legion coming to take another bite
out of azeroth.
Here we see alternate gul'dan being send over by Archimonde into our world and actually
start the next legion invasion by opening up the gateway at the tomb of sargeras.
By trying to build up an army to fight against it, Wrathion actually caused the next invasion
to happen and it's Khadgar that goes about warning the world of this new threat.
"CLOENK, the Burning Legion....has returned!"
"My son, a terrible darkness has returned to our world.
Thunder
As before, it seeks to annihilate everything that we hold dear.
I go to face it, knowing I may not return.
Screaming, They're coming.
They're coming back!
Ahh got ya compas, ow my god poor anduin...what have they done too you.
All my life I have lived by the sword.
I've seen kingdoms burn, and watched brave heroes die in vain.
Oeeeeee look at that pretty hell we're going too
It's been difficult for me to trust after losing so much.
WASSUP, HORDE REPRESENTING.
But from you I have learned patience, tolerance, and faith.
SWOENG, LETS DO THIS.
Ow my thrall that's a lot of demons.
They're coming in fast and hot OPEN FIRE!
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to come here with flying ships.
I mean, it might be fast but it's also a bit deadly.
Owww and now there's a fire demon trying to kill me, but hey there's Sylvanas!
PEW PEW PEW Oooow that looks cool, lets work together
SWOENG Die demon.
Yep what did I tell ya, a flying ship was not a good idea.
Alright hold on to your ropes man, tonight...we dine with Azshara.
BAWOESJ.
Everyone is drowning, ooow no not the compass.
Anduin, I now believe as you do, that peace is the noblest aspiration.
But to preserve it, you must be willing to fight!
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAR
Lo'Gash in the houuuuuuuse, die demons dieeeeeeeee
FOR AZEROTH!"
Where during mists of pandaria heroes were send out with an initial strike force, now
it's actually Varian who's leading the alliance attack while Sylvanas windrunner
is leading the Horde.
The high king has learned much and is able to trust and work together with the horde
while the rest of our forces joined them as soon as possible.
On the broken shore they battled their way through ranks upon ranks of demons, trying
to get to the source of the invasion and stop it before it could spread even further.
Tirion Fordring was taken out by Krosus, but by working together the alliance and horde
are able to force the demon to retreat.
It is time for the final confrontation.
"We'll take the ridge and cover your flank."
"Sylvanas, thank you."
"Good luck, Varian."
'And you..."
As the alliance confronts gul'dan directly, the Horde tries to cover their flank but the
forces they face on the ridge are destroying them.
3 legion ships are constantly shooting out their fel beams while demonic forces keep
pooring out of the portal.
"There are too many of them!
Everyone pull back to me, we make our stand here!"
The alliance isn't having any better luck.
Small waves of demons are send at first, but the portal created gives gul'dan access
to the near limitless might of the legion.
We return.
To conquer this puny world.
And burn it to a husk.
This is a legion invasion unlike any we've seen before and although the alliance forces
seem to be vastly outnumbered, Varian still thinks that a victory is possible.
He calls out the orders, but up above Sylvanas and the Horde have a better view of the battle
down below and they're unable to hold their ground.
"Sylvans cinematic – varian cinematic – epic music starts"
omg bats are tossing people from the cliff thrall is litteraly crawling on the ground,
ow damn this doesn't look good They're coming from behind.
Cover da flank!
Joink Warchief!
Get outta here demon, ow snap that hurt...my tusk!
Sylvanas to the rescue, come with me if you want to live
Do not let da Horde die dis day.
Meanwhile for the alliance: Victory is ours, hold fast!

and turn the tide of battle.
Nope they're only here to get us out of the fight.
BWAAAAAAAAMP No...she wouldn't...

I knew we couldn't trust her.
Uho spaghetio...Atleast the gunship made it.

You will be remembered as the king who sacrificed his life...for nothing.
*pant* * Pant* For the alliance....BIATCH Hahahhahaha now buuuuuurn, buuuuuuuurn and
become dust for my enchantment.
SKADOESJ Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
*serious glare* Welp that could have gone better.
Varian Wrynn gave everything he had for the world, for the alliance, for his people and
his son.
Greymane take the letter he wrote back to King Anduin as they all mourn the loss of
a great king.
With the death of the king, a great burden is placed upon anduin's shoulders.
His father was a great strategist, yet his armies crumbled at the broken shores.
How can he succeeed where the wolf had failed, but Velen reasures him that he does not stand
alone in this battle and Tyrande compliments him for his wisdom of accepting the illidari,
illidan's demon hunters, into their ranks who by now have made their way to either the
alliance or the horde.
Jaina however reminds them all of the Horde's treachery.
It's time to bring them to heel like the dogs that they are.
Theramore, Dalaran and now again they're betrayed by the Horde at the broken shore,
but the others don't see it that way.
They can't fight a war at two fronts, they need the Horde's strength in the battle
against the Legion, but Jaina disagrees.
She believes that to fight alongside the cowards who betrayed his father and left them to die
would dishonor everything Varian stood for.
Dalaran will protect the easterns kingdoms, but she will not allow the Horde to set foot
within her city.
With that jaina teleports away and Anduin wonders what to do.
His father is dead, it was a disaster at the Broken shore, people like Greymane and Jaina
are fixed on revenge and everything's falling apart...
What happens next is a story still being told, but Anduin is the son of the Wolf, the son
of Lo'Gosh, High King Varian Wrynn, champion of Goldrinn.
Legends say that Lo'gosh's unyielding will and sheer ferocity enabled him to push
through the boundaries of the afterlife to aide his people.
Who knows what the future might bring, what roll the son of the wolf might play in the
future, but for now this is where the story of Varian ends.
Thank you all so much for watching and I hope that I did the character justice.
Like I always do with these bigger videos, tomorrow I'll be uploading a full version
of the story for those that prefer to watch it in one go and it makes it easier to link
it around.
As always thank you very much for watching everyone!
Subscribe if you like my videos, leave a like if you enjoyed this one aaaand until next
time guys.....see ya!
