Tuh tuh tuh tuh, lalalalalala Hello everyone!
We've done a deep dive on the story of the Zandalari but not so much about the kul tirans
so that's about to change.
From the knowledge that we knew before we could party in the area to the stories added
with battle for azeroth...this is the story of Kul Tiras.
Way back when, over 2700 years before the dark portal opened up, we had King Thoradin
of Arathor unite the human clans, team up with the high elves and dominated the trolls.
After his reign had ended, new generations of humans expanded the nation of Arathor in
size and power.
Some of the humans would expand to the coastal region known as Gilneas where they constructed
a series of robust harbors.
The settlers fished the waters and engaged in rigorous trade with others parts of Arathor.
The boldest of these sailors ventured into the open waters around Gilneas.
Legends of the tidesages tells us that in the beginning, they were blind.
They were lost.
They left the howling streets of their homes in search of greater existence.
In the end, they found the sea.
Or rather, it found them.
Though the waves howled as home did, it was not the shuttered existence we knew.
For most, that was enough.
With each writhe came loss, but sustenance.
With sustenance, freedom.
We scanned the horizon for home, sailor's eyes on the horizon day and night.
We knew not what we sought.
A matrimony of earth and tide that might shelter our children from the tumult of life at sea.
Stormsong was the first to hear them.
Not the crashing waves at the surface -- gentle whispers, imperceptible to all but him.
They guided his mind ever deeper, revealing untold truths of the powers within him.
We would never be the same.
It began simply.
Stormsong's gifts guided fish into our nets and fresh water into our mouths.
No longer were we slaves to the elements.
We were the masters.
As our lord's gifts grew, others too heard the whispers.
Soon the very wind in our sails was ours to command -- the waves pushing us ever onward
into the night.
With time our hulls impenetrable to even the worst denizens of the deep below.
The depths' guidance became clear; they guided us home.
A new home.
The land was rich and could provide for endless generations.
We guided others to us, sending our sages to ensure safe passage.
House Stormsong laid claim to the most fertile valley in the northern reaches.
It took our lord's name as tribute for our gifts.
We were home.
A tale that explains how the Tidesages came to be, sea priests that are able to commune
with the elements and guided their people to kul tiras.
Stormsong might have had an easy time claiming the fertile valley in the northern reaches,
but not all of kul tiras was so easily taken.
It was not an completely empty land waiting to be used.
There were already beings living there, some a bit more hostile then others like the savage
group of warmongering barbarians that called themselves the Drust.
We know that Vrykul devolved into what we know as today to be humans under the influence
of the curse of flesh.
The drust also find their origins with the vrykul, similar to the kul tirans they took
to the sea and settled in this region.
Drustvar was their ancestral home and they did not take kindly to these strangers in
their lands.
The kul tirans tried to go for peace when they landed, but the Drust went to war immediately.This
carried on for countless years, until the ancestors of House Waycrest decided that something
had to be done.
When peace wasn't an option, the early kul tirans started to fight back.
The Waycrests have always been hearty folk, but the Drusts's magic was strong.
Lead by Gorak Tul they used their druidic powers for dark rituals and massive damage,
but some amongst the Drust were not down with what Gorak Tul was doing.
These so called thornspeakers joined kul tiran society and taught their ancient ways to those
who heard the call of the wilds.
For generations they have been the guardians of balance in nature, the keepers of the cycle
of nature, of life and death.
Despite these new teachings, the kul tirans were losing their war against the drust.
In the end, it was their scholars that managed to turn the tide.
They began to uncover weaknesses in the Drust's magic like silver and alchemical fire.
They compiled what they learned into a treatise on weapons and tactics that could be used
to defeat the barbarians.
The order of Embers was the name given to those who took up these arms against the Drust.
Using the tools and methods uncovered by the scholars, they were able to counter the Drust's
magic, and ensure their victory in the war.
They even pushed their great leader Gorak Tul into retreat.
When he ran out of living warriors, he created a new army out of stone constructs, but not
even they were able to bring him the victory he desired.
Arom Waycrest, still a cornel leading the final assault stabbed Gorak Tul, but while
stories of this event always said that he killed him, Gorak Tul did not die.
Wounded and broken for sure, but not dead.
Gorak tul and his followers retreated into Thros, the Blighted Lands.
A land of death, decay and torment, an area that we would call the Emerald Nightmare.
Here they would stay, regaining their strength and trying to figure out a way to return to
the physical world.
Meanwhile in Drustvar, Arom Waycrest was given the title of Lord
and from that point on, it would be his bloodline that would rule Drustvar.
Kul Tiras, the land rich with metal ores and other valuable natural resources would prosper
and thrive.
The kingdom of arathor eventually split apart while the island bastion of kul tiras continued
its traditions of trading and shipping.
That came with dangers of its own amongst them pirates and sea monsters, breeding tough
and proud people.
The city-state boasted a massive navy – the greatest in all of Arathor.
Its most daring captains explored the coasts of the Eastern Kingdoms, returning with exotic
goods and tales of strange lands in the remote corners of the continent.
Its amongst these daring captains where the ruler of all of kul tiras would emerge, but
the history of it is not really fleshed out.
We only know it as far back as Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore , but we do know that House
Proudmoore would rise up to lead kul tiras from their seat of power in Boralus.
This is the capital of kul tiras located within Tirigarde Sound.
Daelins powerful fleet and seafaring knowledge made them a powerful ally for the Alliance
of Lordaeron that was formed to combat the threat of the invading Horde.
Though the war was won, it was no easy victory with many casualties including his oldest
son Derek Proudmoore.
He died while fighting together with his father, died to the flames of the enslaved red dragons,
yet the Alliance was able to save Azeroth and force the orcs to either retreat or surrender.
Those that surrendered were placed within interment camps.
Some might say that death would have been a kinder alternative, yet all the same, Daelin
would remain a loyal ally to the Alliance despite peace making it splinter.
Meanwhile his remaining family members were still back home at kul tiras.
There is his wife Katherine Proudmoore, his second son Tandred and his daughter Jaina.
Tandred and Daelin don't really have a whole lot of history with eachother but that's
not surprising since Tandred was considered to be non canon, not part of the official
lore until they changed their mind with Battle for Azeroth.
Jaina is another story, quite a large one infact, and she WAS very close to Daelin.
"Ahoy, ahoy, sweet Daughter of the seas.
Ahoy, this child be mine.
The Admiral's girl.
His whole entire world.
For as long as stars do shine."
"Hihi, promise you'll come back?"
"I'll weather every storm if I know you'll be waiting for me."
"Time to go Jaina!"
"I love you papa."
"Come topside sweetheart."
When her talent for magic was discovered, her mother had to move heaven and earth to
smooth her path.
She had to fight Daelin to allow her to be trained in Dalaran yet she was able to convince
the lord admiral and this would put Jaina into contact with some of the greatest heroes
and villains that warcraft has ever known.
She even came in close contact with the royal family of Menethil.
Prince Arthas would become the one she gave her heart too, but Arthas would fall into
darkness and bring ruin to their kingdom.
Plague and death would rule the lands of Lordaeron too which Bolvar Fordragon sends his daughter
Taelia to kul tiras to be safe from the Scourge.
Daelin personally tasked his most trusted knight Cyrus Crestfall with raising the girl
which saved him from joining them at Theramore.
She was taught how to fight, how to ride and how to sail... she grew up to be a bad ass
with a kind heart, earning her rank amongst the Proudmoore guard.
Meanwhile Jaina would take the survivors of Lordaeron and come in contact with the new
Warchief of the Horde.
Together with thrall she fought side by side against the might of the Legion, bringing
down archimonde himself.
Thrall and Jaina worked very hard on getting somekind of peace going between the factions,
but not everyone could so easily forget about the past.
Her father couldn't, not after fighting with the Alliance of Lordaeron and losing
his son.
He found Jaina at Theramore and could not see that Thrall's horde was a different
one.
He refused to listen to his daughter and Jaina made the impossible choice.
She decided to step to the side while Thrall and the horde moved into Theramore to take
care of her father.
"It is over!
Stand down, humans!"
"Father...
Why wouldn't you listen?"
With the survivors returning home, news of Jaina's betrayel reached kul tiras and Daelin's
people cried out for vengeance for his death, but the rest of the Alliance did not seek
it.
The plague of undeath in lordaeron had already left the Alliance reeling, and its other leaders
had little pity for Daelin Proudmoore, who had launched a war of aggression on his own
authority.
In fury, the people of Kul Tiras isolated themselves from the rest of the Alliance.
But their anger was not focused on King Varian Wrynn or any of the other Alliance leaders.
Instead, they grew to hate Jaina Proudmoore, the daughter who had betrayed her family.The
song she and her father used to share now became a cautionary tale to remind the people
of what she had done.
"I heard, I heard across a moonlit sea, the old voice warning me.
Beware...beware...the daughter of the sea.
Beware....Beware... of ME"
The death of Daelin would shock Kul Tiras and send it down a road of problems all around.
Jaina's mother had to deal with a massive blow as she herself took up the mantle of
lord admiral of kul tiras.
Not only did she lose her husband, her own daughter let it happen.
Not to mention that Priscilla Ashvane was whispering in her ear.
She too had lost her husband at theramore, but did not have the best intentions for Katherine
in mind.
She was now the leader of the fourth and final ruling house in kul tiras , namely house ashvane.
Where as proudmoore held dominion over their military, ashvane held dominion over their
funds.
A power couple when working together, but incredibly dangerous when one wants to betray
the other.
In Drustvar we see House Waycrest fall to the ancient darkness they believed was once
defeated.
Lady Meredith Waycrest, Lord Arthus Waycrest and their daughter Lucile live in their manor,
their family line putting them in a position of power, ruling the land of Drustvar.
Visions of the past show us that Lady Waycrest was always ruthless and willing to do what
ever she thought was best for the family.
When her daughter fell in love with Alexander Treadward, she did not approve.
He was not good enough, just a common merchant unfit the marriew her daughter no matter how
much in love they might be.
Assassins were hired by Lady Waycrest to make sure this union would never happen.
So when her husband fell ill, Meredith called to any power in the world that might save
him.
No price was too high to pay and in her darkest hour, Lord Gorak Tul answered the cry and
promised that death would never part the couple...House Waycrest had once defeated him and now they
would be his ticket back into the real.
Drustvar is plunged into darkness, covens and ancient magics of the drust covering the
land once more.
In Stormsong valley the benevolent voice of the tidemother has changed.
Communing with the seas does not come without risks as the seas hold many dark and powerful
creatures like the naga with their Queen Azshara allied to the old god N'zoth.
She has plans with the kul tiran fleet, whispering to Lord Stormsong of house stormsong, taking
him and their order of tidesages into the darkness.
Normally they would bless their ships before thei set sail, but now they were convinced
to use their powers and capture it.
Captain Tandred Proudmoore the fearless explorer,and their proud kul tiran sailors, at some point
sailed into uncharted waters and along the way, a mighty storm at sea had taken him.
They're believed to be lost, another blow for Katherine, another member of her family
gone...
Meanwhile time did not stand still and with the defeat of the Burning Legion, some thought
it might mean peace was coming to world.
Instead we saw Sargeras stab the planet of Azeroth greatly hurting the world as well
as the titan spirit inside and Azerite pops up all across the surface.
This powerful resource could change the face of war in warcraft forever, too which the
Horde and Alliance do what they do best and go into another war.
That massive sword does not really go unnoticed nor the war that followed so naturally news
of this reached kul tiras.
Some suggested that the Horde would not care for their neutrality so perhaps it was in
their best interest to team up with the Alliance, but Katherine refused.
When they asked for their help to avenge Daelin's murder, they spat in their faces and to beg
for aid when theý're not even under attack would make them seem weak.
They'll not be reaching out to anyone, not after what happened with Jaina, kul tiras
will protect its own.
This made things a little bit awkward for the Alliance as they showed up at kul tiras
to ask for their aid in the war.
Jaina was fully aware of what her people thought of her, yet for the sake of Kul Tiras, for
the sake of the Alliance, she tried to convince them anyways.
"I have come to ask kul tiras for aid, on behalf of the alliance."
"The alliance?
HA, where were they when we begged for their help?
When our husbands and sons and brothers were slaughtered at theramore?!"
"Do not blame the alliance for my actions."
"So you admit it.
You admit that you were responsible for the deaths of our men!"
"... I was..."
"Le gasp."
"But I will do anything in my power to ease the suffering of kul tiras."
"Katherine...enforce our laws.
The punishment for treason is death."
Not exactly a warm reception and while Jaina is left in the hands of Priscilla Ashvane,
heroes of the Alliance are thrown into the prison complex of Tol Dagor, run by Ashvane
herself.
Thankfully there are some amongst the kul tirans able to see that they need the Alliance
as much as they need them so heroes are saved from prison by Flynn Fairwind, former pirate
captain and Taelia Fordragon too which their adventures in kul tiras can begin.
I've done the stories of the dungeons and zones in full detail, but I'll do a quick
summary for those of you that clicked on this video to figure out the story of kul tiras.
We're informed that the houses in Kul Tiras don't work together liked they used too.
In Drustvar we find out that Gorak Tul has made his return and has corrupted House Waycrest.
We party with their daughter Lucile, reform the Order of Embers and take on the darkness
of the Drust.
Her parents, now undead monstrosities, are put the sword while the real Gorak tul still
waits for us in the blighted lands but atleast the area is a bit safer.
In Stormsong Valley we see that those who worried about the Horde not caring about their
neutrality were right.
The Horde strikes out pre-emptively.
Their spies reports that the farms and villages of Stormsong Valley are sending supplies to
Kul Tiran soldiers.
It is only a matter of time before they do the same for Alliance troops and this cannot
stand.
They will seize Stormsong for the Horde, cut off their supply lines and establish a foothold
for their forces.
The alliance naturally strikes back while also discovering that some of the tidesages
have allied themselves with Queen Azshara and by extention the old god n'zoth.
Darkness is spreading across the land and they don't really seem to care that the
fleet has gone missing.
We team up with Brother Pike, a tidesage with a clear head, able to see that what is going
on is not right and togerher we cleanse their corrupted organisation as well as figuring
out that the fleet is not entirely lost.
Though he personally cannot call their mariners home, atleast we know that the ships are still
out there...somewhere.
The fate of their fleet lies with the Proudmoores now.
In Tirigarde we uncover that Azerite did not only change the war for the Alliance and the
Horde, it almost made quite an impact right here in kul tiras.
Ashvane is gathering and weaponzing a whole bunch of azerite.
Scheming and plotting with the pirates that are gathering within Freehold.
Lead by Harlan Sweete, the guy so ruthless that he pushed Flynn out of the pirate life,
Sweete is uniting the different bands of pirates under one banner, the Irontide Raiders.
Whereas Freehold was once a haven for pirates, scoundrels, and those who wished to live free
of Kul Tiran Control, now it's the Irontide Raiders that rule the city.
With their forces and weaponised Azerite they plan to take away control of Kul Tiras away
from Katherine,but together with Cyrus, Flynn and Taelia, we uncover her plans, find the
evidance needed and force her to run.
She would make a return, a display of her full force, but all these events had Katherine
realise that perhaps returning to the Alliance was not such a bad idea.
She had foolishly handed over her daughters fate to priscilla, a mistake she regretted
greatly, so heroes of the alliance were asked to make things right.
Tracking down Jaina lead them all the way into the blighted lands where they not only
confronted the real gorak tul, they also reunited Katherine with jaina.
The whole ordeal made the lord admiral better understand what had happened to the daughter
of the sea.
The road that she had traveled while away from home and together they left that horrible
nightmarish place.
Now with Ashvane ready to siege Boralus and take kul tiras by force, Katherine knows what
she has to do.
"Our harbor defenses won't be enough."
"Father's pendant."
"For generations the heart of the kul tiran fleet.
I thought that hope had returned with this seal.
That perhaps I could call the fleet home as your father did.
I was wrong, it was never meant for me."
Jaina takes the pendant of her father and starts humming daughter of the sea.
Her father would find his way back to her, weather any storm and so does her brother.
Her powers are able to locate the missing fleet and save them from the dark magic entrapping
them.
"There you are."
Oooow snap tandred is home baby, you better be scared ashvane.
"We're home tandred!
Captain, pirates in our harbor."
'All hands, lets show them what kul tirans are made off."
As Tandred is saved by his sister, Ashvane now faces overwhelming odds and has no other
choice but to surrender.
She's placed within the prison she once ruled where as Jaina becomes Lord Admiral
of Kul Tiras and they officially rejoin the Alliance.
They got their fleet with Tandred back, the houses have been saved from the darkness they
were facing and they're more then ready to stand with the Alliance in their war against
the Horde.
This war campaign has both sides construct outposts in enemy territory.
Most notably is probably Rexxar taking on Stormsong Valley, the mok'nathal that took
Daelin's life now walks the lands of the kul tirans.
Assaults happen frequently, many lives are taken while some are brought back in undeath.
Yet the Alliance does not stand still.
With Kul Tiras at their side they make their plans to assault the heart of the Zandalari
empire and remove one of the horde's most powerful allies from the war.
Last time their ships even came close, it did not end too well for them.
The defenses of the capital are no joke, we'll need a plan to make it work.
A plan that involves placing some massive explosives and drawing out the majority out
of their forces into Nazmir.
With the Horde distracted, a quick strike could have the king of the Zandalari surrender
and bring the war with the Horde that much closer to an end... but that would be the
case.
Rastakhan did not rule his people for over 200 years without reason.
With the power of the loa of death at his side, he refuses to surrender.
A fight till the bitter end which has quite the opposite effect.
Instead of a surrender, what they really accomplished was lighting a fire in the heart of the trolls
and push them that much closer to the Horde.
But adding them as an allied race has not been done quite yet nor have the kul tirans.
They will become available at some point and when they do, you'll have the option to
make one of those thick monsters hunters yourself.
It could be a druid, going back to the history with the drust.
A hunter, warrior or mage, not surprising of course considering Jaina Proudmoore.
Monks, which I personally find really interesting especially since Paladins are not on the menu.
Paladins were originally created with the whole alliance of lordaeron standing up against
the Horde so you'd imagine that the Kul Tirans are familiar with their teachings but
they're not.
Instead they've picked up the ways of the monk which was first introduced with Mists
of Pandaria.
It's not impossible to explain.
Some pandaren have a lust for traveling and there could have easily been a few that made
their way to kul tiras and passed on their fighting style.
Other options include the Priest, rogue, and shamans, calling back to that history of the
tidesages.
The racial mount is a kul tiran charger, another horse to be added to the collection.
Not only does the kul tiran military prises itself on mastery of the sea through their
vasty nasty, they also do so with their armed cavalary.
It's hard to say what the future is going to bring for Kul Tiras.
We know that Mechagon is on the agenda, a vault in kul tiras that's going to open
up to reveal an ancient lost gnomish city.
This might tie in with what happened to Meckatorque during the battle of Dazar'alor.
We know that N'zoth and Azshara are on their way, a taste of what's to come in Stormsong
valley with the Crucible of Storms.
A long-sumberged evil stirs beneath the Shrine of the Storm.
The whispers that drove lord Stormsong to madness echo within the depths, a siren song
of eldritch power.
Those who listen and obey prepare dark ritual to carry out their master's will.
Whatever nightmarish schemes fuel their fanatical devotion, one thing is certain: they must
be stopped.
A taste of things to come while right now in the game you can already scout out the
area and go through a pretty cool questline that's inspired by the Darkest Dungeon.
I won't go into too many details of the crucible of storms...I am very excited for
the return of everyone's favorite waifu.
The battle of Dazar'Alor inflicted some heavy blows to the Horde Horde and the Zandalari
meaning that the Alliance has the upper hand but the war isn't quite over yet.
The horde liberated Priscilla from Tol Dagor right into a secret meeting with Sylvanas.
Who knows what those two ladies are talking about, but I think it's pretty safe to say
that it won't be any good for Kul Tiras.
They also obtained the body of Derek Proudmoore, the same Derek who died to the dragon flame,
and they're planning to warp and twist his mind, turn him into a weapon.
Where the alliance attacked them with an army, they will use one forsaken to murder them
in their sleep.
Will Derek be able to resist or will we see the death of Katherine to balance out the
death of Rastakhan?
What connection will we see between the resurrection of Derek and the resurrection of Jaina's
old childhood friend Calia Menethil?
What kind of relationship will be there between King Anduin Wrynn and Taelia Fordragon?
Is the line of Stormwind going to continue with these two?
Still so much on the horizon, who knows how the Battle of Azeroth is going to end...I'm
still hoping to have our final battle against the awakened titan spirit currently slumbering.
Waking up with one hell of hang over and pissed at the world for not focusing more on healing
her.
That's wishfull thinking I suppose...but for now you're familar with the history
of Kul Tiras, lets hope that they release them as an allied race soon.
For now thank you very much for watching everyone!
