The Story of the Guardians - Full Version [Lore]
Ойындар
I did 3 individual videos on the guardians, uploading this full version for easy linking.
The guardians have been around for quite some time now and even though Medivh's novel was called "The Last Guardian", there's still one on Azeroth even though we never hear about him. But who are the guardians and why do we need them? That's what we're going to find out!
An hour to long? Here are the individual episodes:

Why is it that all cool characters in warcraft universe get corrupted or possessed, and suddenly they become evil and they get real stupid death or just disappear.
your English is great man, legendary story-telling
I love your lore, dont care if people complain how long it is, i listen to all of it while working nights and it really gets me into it
Nobbel, your videos are absolutely fantastic, and I enjoy every one of them. Thank you so much for not coming up short on detail or any other characteristic of your videos! Keep up the phenomenal work.
Has it been an hour already Nobbel87 Time sure flies when watching your Videos keep it up, You get no where near enough recognition for the amount of time this must take you, Hats off to you.
so basically, the guardian and the council are like captain planet and the planeteers

I love watching your video , you add more to the game and make it better for us
Great one Nobbel87 , as always I had great fun watching this video . Thank you Loremaster
Nobbel, I enjoyed your every lore video.. But I must say, this one was your best so far. I don't know how many hours you've spent for this, was a pleasure to watch.
If I ever have questions or don't understand or know a particular story-line, I always know where to come for the best lore explanations and story telling. Love your site Nobbel!
this video is so long but i just liked it the way how you speak the way how you put the story , its just great . keep making vids
I've seen all your lore videos before Nobbel but damn you got a smooth voice making it nice to have them in the background while playing something relaxing like hearthstone :)
I think I have watched this 3 times now, it is such a well told story well done Nobbel
Wow.. this story just blew my mind...! Your videos have really woken an eager in me to read the novels! And fortunately they sell them here in Denmark and even better in english ^^ The translation (if such exists) would most likely make me even more confused xD
I really enjoy your videos. You're a fantastic story teller/narrator! Great job.
Great, great video nobbel! Keep up the great work on explaining lore.
Amazing video Nobbel, had quite fun, thanks :)
Love your videos man! Never stop!!!
What an awesome video! Medivh is so cool, his robes just look awesome!
Wonderful video Nobbel! Its almost a Movie! :D I really enjoyed it, as i already knew some parts of it from books, to get to know the rest of it.
Basically, Med'an is one of the most disgusting Mary-Sue characters ever created. It's like he was written by an anime obsessed 12 year old. A part Orc, Draenei and Human, Shamanistic Paladin-Mage Monk that instantly becomes an expert in anything he dabbles in, grew up in solitude knowing nothing of his parents. It's as if his creator just took the first thing from the Mary-Sue generator and said, "Yeah, that'll do." All he needs to be the most ridiculous character ever is spiky, purple hair and glowing eyes and-.... Oh wait. -_-
Great work Nobbel!
what a great video, explaining much and filling in many holes, thank you so much!

Nobbel keep up the great lore videos. i love the emersiveness in your videos. i would also like to join you sometime in game!
This is my fav story in all of the lore. And my fav video by you. The Last Guardian and Arthas my fav novels.
Bravo ! I love the lore of Warcraft and especially the guardians part. Thank you Nobbel87 ;).
Once again Nobbel, you surpass yourself. Thank you.
Great video, I watched it till the end. You must have spent a lot of time on it.
i have been listening to wow lore the last 8 hrs while lvling my character... all i remember is about the titans and old gods
Hay thanks for uploading this! Now I can go to sleep listening to this instead of switching between the other vids :D
Have you considered doing a lore video about the Defias, I don't know if their lore is extensive enough for a full video but I always enjoyed them.
Thanks for these videos. I hope blizzard recognizes some of their older lore in WoD
who cares about the movie, I want a cartoon series of warcraft, a canon one!

It’s refreshing to watch it after 10 years
This is really awesome Story Nobbel
Read description fools, also new lore videos only on Sundays
Like how you slipped in a Warhammer fantasy picture of high elves in about 4:50-4:56 lol. Great job so far.
Great Video. Mind making one on the apex crystals and their relationship to the ogres in outlands they can also be used to summon a dragon to fight and for forging some interesting items.
LOVED IT,GAVE YOU A SHARE ON MY FB AND MY FAN PAGE!
Loved it!
aaw, some nostalgia material over here) reign of chaos ending was tear breaking. But i remembered just with how much questions i was left after it, that are awnsered now)
hey nobbel! just got volume 1 of the warcraft chronicle, and let me say, it was worth every crown! (swedish money)
I hate it when people make a over powerful characters, not even that, I hate the invincible characters that what ever they do they will take out everyone with no problem. Medan just seems like a crazy fanfiction character some one came up with.

You mean the Mary Sues characters? Yeah. Beside, they only fill two roles in fiction they either: good for nothing (Ie: They become Sage and do nothing) a la Elminster Aumar from Forgotten Realms or They fall due to arrogance, betrayal, Tzeentch level plotting with often plots withing plots, Love, Misguidance or an amalgam of all them. Keep in mind, they are often use not as character (with a fews exceptions) but often as plot dump for real hero to do something. In the end, that mean you have 50/50 chances of enacting your disgust for them by colon-swordoscopy and that's always fun.

***** That's is also why the last decent thing about Superman, depending on who you ask, is either Red Son or All Star. People read Superman for the spectacle. The devastation and the inhuman fight between his opponent. It's the Micheal Bay of comic book. Except when they try new thing like Superman renouncing his American citizenship so he wouldn't start the next World World and American storm DC with such hatred that Hell froze over.

that's maybe why he doesn't appear in the game. He is too powerfull. a super hero or vilain is ok in a movie ... but in a game, what's the point of levelling your character and solving the world's problems ... if medan is here and could destroy everything ?

Antoine Tack Counter-question! How many of those insurmountable monster have you fought in game. The ones that every NPC say it hopeless. I left at the Lich King, but there was Artas, Kil'jaeden, Onixia, Deathwing... As for Medan... A little retcon would go a long way.
For some reason, I thought Dalaran was built mostly just because Strom had become too densely populated and it was part of that whole migration thing that included the building of Gilneas and Kul Tiras and such.
Hey Nobbel, Love the videos you've been making, I have another question for the Q&A. Do you think since Garrosh isn't going to be the patch boss again, that it could be Wrathion? We know that he has alot of power now after the quest line and the titan artifacts. We also know that they said it would be "A guy behind a guy" where Wrathion pops in because he keeps setting things up in place for one side to lose (ie Garrosh or Varian) and apparently neither won. With all this said, do you think that I have even come to hint at anything at all about the next patch boss?
fantastic!
i love your videos
I'd like the see Medan in game at some point. Perhaps when the Void Lords are introduced as the culminating antagonists and someone of Medan's power scale is required.
Flies into a throne room, drops his shapeshift, gets straight to proclamations of doom and terror like a madman. Maybe if Medivs speechcraft was a little higher there wouldn't be any orcs terrorizing Azeroth today.
dayum that was epic
great and informative it litterly answered all my questions :D just one however.. where at in trisifal glades did the council meet up perhaps its near that ring of mushrooms in the whispering forest?
Nice, I wonder what will come next
great vid
Mother of Lore videos!!
Thanks Nobbel!
this story is wounderful
in from school and this is here :)
Full version is 1, 2 and 3? Perfekt...
43:40 - Ah, I love that bit right there. It shows how the scripting in the game made character 's being cut off mid-sentance convincing. -- Very much unlike the 10 seconds pauses they have in the scripted WoW dialouge.
lol love the soundbite at the end.
what if Wrathion turns on the world for whatever reason and bam, in comes Medan to stop him at the end of an upcoming expansion? That was my first thought after finishing the video. Great stuff by the way.
i hope they will include the remnants of the well of eternity in the broken isles. Suramar seems like the place it could be but you never know, just seeing it in the video makes me wanna do the dungeon again. And hopefully theyll put a big storyline around it if they do decide to add it, other than "hey look theres that well thingy, OK TIME TO GO"

Good stuff 😸
Nobbel, may be Medivh granted his powers to his son, knowing he was going to other Realities and would need them to protect them from events happening them, fighting Cho'Gal being just a way to practice them. That is as you say that he is gone to other worlds. Probably fixing things and avoiding events his father and grandmother like Entities, would create?
@Nobbel87 Can you make a video about the gnomes, how they were created or came to be? I've always wondered about it. Thanks :)

Like Daeswow said. The gnomes where the repair unit of the ancients while the dwarves where the workers and the giants the gardians. When the curse of flesh started the hid in the places we now call gnomeregan where they retrained most of there repair abilities. Not all of the cursed where that happy maybe because of malfunction or the engineering useless against the trolls of Kalidor. Less intelligent ofshoots of gnomes settled arround Uldum the Pygmy (there also rumored to be ofshoots of goblins but the Halls of Origination nearby makes that theory implausible) The Outlands has desert gnomes similar to the Pygmy in behavior. We can speculate that the ancients left there mark on Dreanor. Maybe even going so far that the Gron where victims of a curse of flesh as well
55:06 The comic page on the left side... foreshadowing events there..... she told thrall to watch out for garrosh, etc ..... If only they knew back then lol
Why are people so butthurt over the video? It is just the Guardian videos packaged into one so a new viewer doesn't have to go hunting for the rest of the series and it provides a seamless transition between parts.
I think that story of thrall from begining to pandaria be4 new expension would be a nice idea :) I rlly want hear everything wht I know about him and information from cataclyzysm :P
Hello Nobbel, hey who is Ysondre ? i encounter a Night Elf Female blindfolded elite boss at the top of one of "The Twin Colosals" at Feralas & she said, i cuote: Ysondre says: I cannot face him myself. To even approach him would risk leting the same corruption overtake me once more. Konu Runetotem says: What must we do ? Ysondre says:The earth itself weeps in the suffering. Gather its tears, and use them to seal the portal at the Great Tree. The connection to the Dream must be cut.(end) Whats is this ?

Once upon a time, way back in classic WoW, we had the dragons of nightmare. These were world bosses that you could raid. The story behind it is that the emerald dream became corrupted by N'zoth, turned into the emerald nightmare and these dragons started to work for N'zoth. Ysondre used to be a dragon of nightmare, but she still fears of getting corrupted again so she sends you on the task of killing the others. wowpedia.org/Ysondre

666GORN666 lore: the story of nobbel :D
they could have still acknowledge that me'dan learned his father's wishes and he just give the power back to all the council but reminding everyone to stay united against all odds. I dont know, they could pull off me'dan in the story but again, they're always free to retcon or make it noncanon
I honestly think that Me'dan will follow his fathers footsteps. I have a feeling that as Medivh explained his story to his son he also noted how he taught Mortals to that they no longer need Guardians. I don't think the will be left unchecked by Me'dan. I believe he will honor his fathers approach and not step in to protect Azeroth. Perhaps he will teach this to different planets.
Jesus nobbel, i love your videos

I ran 4 dungeons while listening to this.

Med'an is a discount Captain Azeroth
I would like to see Medan make an appearance in game because these comics were so beautiful, I would like to see it made canon. But, before they introduce this character... Make sure people get to know Medan... This was a huge problem for Khadgar in WoD. A lot of people didn't know him because a lot of people don't follow lore outside of what they see in game. Maybe a large quest line that involves a few of the people included in his story, slowly revealing his story. Not an hour long worth of dialog and quest text, but a short tale that consists of the necessities. Something that can fit in a Lorewalker Cho storytime thing. 2. You don't need to nerf Medan. Sure, maybe he does seem pretty strong, but he's not all that. He couldn't even kill Cho'Gall, but we totally kicked his ass. A majority of his power game from the 'council' channeling through him, and he returned that power afterwards. But, it could totally be possible that Medan had died or something and had given his staff to Khadgar (which would need to be explained.) P.S Wow, I main a mage and all this talk about superpowered guardians make me feel insig-fucking-nificant... but then again, I did defeat Illidan.. killed Arthas... killed Deathwing... killed Garrosh... and Archimond... 3 times now?
can you please update Meivhs story? we saw him in retunr to Karazhan, and not just echos, he apiered when we have done the chest event, and so on. And Agewyn is need a pluss lore mention, when she apier (as an image in the new Legion dungeon in 7.2) :P
Me'dan is gone, that might hint at some sort of explanation to why Khadgar looks a lot younger and why he has A'tiesh
Thanks for the bed time story
SO right
They never fully outright state what has happened to Medivh, all we know is once WC3 was done he vanished. We see his spirit and power later on but that is in the tower so we do not know for sure if he is dead.
I read about this in cycle of hatred, wanted to learn more.
Need a lore about the Kal'dorei or Night elves How they came to be they seem cool.
good video and i LOVE your (hello everyone!)
DAMN, I wanna learn about this Marill (lol) character now!
to sum up the last last guardian .. "by your powers combined, I am Captain Me'deus Ex Machina.. " Everything in one, if can't do it , suddenly intervention, and 'spling!' he can. So yes definately agree he's highly unlikely to show up in any role beyond a similar to WC3 Medivh.. an advisor/prophet.. no direct power use as such.
