They had an opportunity with something like "Forsaken automatically go to the Maw because the current cycle of life and death automatically assumes they are irredeemable" as her motive, because even if she hates the Jailer she needs him to save her people. They even could have mixed it in with Legion saying after Genn broke the lantern thing, only then did she decide to go along with the Jailer despite him offering her the "job" at the end of WotLK and installing her as the Warchief at the start of Legion. It'd need some decent writing, but it could have made Sylvanas conflicted character who exhausted every option to save the Forsaken before agreeing to help the Jailer. I mean, it's actually super easy to come up with that story, but they clearly went a different way of not explaining it at all. ;)

They are going to use our world to hop universes and spread their corruptive influence. And this is actually why the world is going insane right now and everything is going to shit and completely chaotic and all the people who used to stand for good are actually the ones being pawns played to spread to most evil.

It's the same energy as "Somehow Palpatine has returned."

That's like building an ATM/Bank Machine that if it has a failure it intentionally just starts spitting money out all over the place. How is there not a "purgatory" type holding station for Souls?

This feels like one of those things where you force an AI to read a bunch of stuff and then generate a story based on what it read.

About the whole "I will never serve" did by Sylvanas at the end of Sanctum of Domination Seriously: Sylvanas was the lackey (I agree: Sylvanas totally "SERVED") of someone called JAILER, master of DOMINATION magic, and his other lieutenant was a MIND CONTROLLED Anduin. And Sylvanas rebelled just when she listened the world "serve". Writing team, that was not an empowering moment: that's the proof that Sylvanas is DUMB as a brick!

Nobbel you are a lore genius. love this

The freeing of Anduin cut scene is an anomaly in the Shadowlands story line. All spirits go to the Shadowlands to sent to their proper destination, yet Varok and Varian are outside the Shadowlands to manfest and undue the Jailers control of Anduin.

For those who genuinely want to know what was up with that part about Elune, here's what happened (based on what we have been told which could be changed at any point regardless of who tells us that info because that's the level of storytelling we're in right now): Elune has the power to prevent night elf souls from going to the Shadowlands, their spirits instead becoming the wisps that are all over night elf areas. When the burning of Teldrassil happened, Elune chose to allow those hundreds of souls to go to the Shadowlands instead of becoming wisps. The reason for that was because Elune has a counterpart in the Shadowlands: The Winter Queen of Ardenweald, who refers to Elune as her "sister." Elune has some connection to the Winter Queen and sensed that she and Ardenweald were growing weaker due to a lack of anima, so she redirected the souls of Teldrassil to the Shadowlands in the hopes of their anima helping her out. However, at the time Elune was unaware of the Arbiter being broken and all souls automatically being sent to the Maw, but she has no power over the souls once they've entered the Shadowlands, so she could do nothing but hope that the Winter Queen could take care of whatever was going on.

Love how you did the intro and everything

"what is to come" is really taking its sweet time to show up

This dude is such a boss, I can barely remember my mom's birthday, but he just dropped a entire xpac lore off the top of his head

Including the New things unvealed within Legion. We really need a fresh splash of good lore to reinvigorate us after being beaten down with this mess.

Lol I watched this so many times I love the way he explains everything

Actually, this is the real hidden plot behind everything: SL is the expac where wow suffers their worst down, a death themed expac helps kill the game, and the Jailer is the main mascot of this all, hence why he's written in as the representative for every major lore event and character, and then killed at the end of the last patch with no elaboration.

"Here's a cosmology illustration of how the universe is balanced." Except Light and Void are the strongest. But actually Life and Death are more important. And the First Ones decided that death is the bottom/foundation of all creation, so they get the keys. Arthus was corrupted by the dreadlords, who worked for the Jailer, who had a Mourne™ blade made to control him along with the Helm of Domination. Arthus kills a fuck ton of people. Sylvanas was one of those people and was controlled by Arthus directly. A neat way for the writers to allude to abuse, I wonder where they'll take that. Fast forward 15+ years of writing, Sylvanas learns nothing and becomes the abuser, but it's ok, she's a woman and she didn't mean to and totally, actually, learned a lesson. Tyrande becomes empowered with her god's power, to take vengeance and right the wrongs done to her people, but doesn't actually do anything.

Dead Serious, we should start a petition to get NobbelTV to become a writer for WoW. Save Us!

This video has the highest amount of sighs per minute of all YT videos.

I love your videos! You have a great voice for story telling. I click your videos all the time to zone out and play video games. Thank you for just what you do. Oh and also. Shadowlands will always be a dark cloud over Azeroth. I hope they make up for this last expansion with Dragonlands.

Is it weird that I put on his longer vids to fall asleep too.. So soothing

If there was somebody that could make this ef up story somewhat interesting is Nobbel! I miss the lore vids, but it's understandable how difficult it is with the pile o dung he was given to work with.

this is unironically super helpful for getting into dragonflight because I quit after vampire daddy

EPIC VIDEO !!!! :D

Damn that hit hard in the feels. 😅

My man is starting to look more and more like an Observer from Fringe series. And I love it :D

I used to come to Nobble for lore... but after all this years and watching your content, even tho I burned my bridges with WoW and Blizzard after SW2 finale and now this shit... now I came here to support him in this dark times! ❤ still love you m8! Keep your head up and Godspeed 😁

Brilliant!

Zoval could see the coming end, the true final boss.. the uninstall button.

The nobbel intro and theme actually made the boring story somehow interesting to hear

I loved your story : )

This is amazing. :D Nobbel ftw

Hearing this from Nobbel hits different

i love how nobble basically explained all the lore, even if accidently as, come to far now, fk it :P

I was on the fence until he screamed “HIYA!” then I was hooked and watched the whole thing

Thank you, it's not just me!

That MiB 2 gif is perfect for arbiter

You can actually hear the pain in nobbels voice as he tells this lore

I might as well stick to Legion as a legit ending to World of Warcraft.

Just ignore the part where sargeras stabs the world and yeah, great ending.

@@Exorion1er I see it more as his last attempt. There was a quest where we use our artifact weapons together to remove it. Unfortunately, Blizz had to remove it cause "reasons". Nonetheless, still a better ending than the next 2 expansions.

oh nobbel i miss you so much!

Blizzard: "let's center the whole story around Sylvanas from now on". Also Blizzard "let's make her a total idiot and a terrible leader with nonsensical motivations and hey just for fun how about a touch of genocide". Brilliant!
