Thanks so much for the kind words, Damosel!

After nearly two months of preparation, all-nighters, research, practice, and sacrifice away from my family, I was personally informed by my manager (of nearly five years) today that I was not selected for the Engineering Manager position/promotion that I had applied for. I sincerely apologize for divulging such personal (and depressing) real-world details...however, in the face of such disappointment, I cannot describe the extent to which this latest video of yours has helped me remain positive, determined, and inspired. From the bottom of my (and my non-WoW-playing wife's) heart: thank you, Loremaster, for your continued contributions to your fellow Azerothians. Additionally, I must admit: I was greedily anticipating an endless supply of zone- and species-centric videos...yet I will be the first to proclaim that this history/event-focused episode may truly be your most engaging upload yet! Once again, thank you dearly for all of your unrivaled efforts. For what it's worth, your consistent dedication to your audience has elevated me from simple "Channel Member" to official "Lore Keeper". You've earned it! - John

I want to start by saying how moved I am by your comment. Life can throw us curveballs, and sometimes they're especially tough to handle. I'm genuinely sorry to hear about the disappointment you've faced in not getting the position you were aiming for. It's clear from your words that you put your heart and soul into preparing for it. It humbles me that my videos have played a small part in helping you stay positive during this challenging time. Azeroth is a place of wonder and adventure, but it's the amazing community like you that truly make it special. My goal has always been to create content that both entertains and educates, and your feedback means the world to me. I'm delighted to read that you enjoyed the history-focused episode, and it's encouraging to hear that it resonated with you and many others! Congratulations on becoming an official Lore Keeper! Your support as a Channel Member means a lot, and I'm grateful to have you as part of this incredible community. Remember, setbacks can lead to even greater successes, and I have no doubt that your dedication and determination will lead you to new opportunities in the future. Stay positive, stay inspired, and keep your chin up. Warm regards, Your Loremaster

If I may ask, John, what was the reason for your manager to not select you for the role of Engineering Manager? And what were the requirements to get the position that cost you all this effort? I would like to get to know your situation better and support you as much as you support me in my endeavors!

​@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth First and foremost, I cannot thank you enough for your benevolent words of kindness and encouragement. In the face of adversity, it is unfortunately all too easy to succumb to the temptations of acquiescence, self-pity, and despair. However, with the generous and motivational support of others-be it family, friends, pets, coworkers, and/or fellow Internet content creators such as yourself-disappointment can instead flourish into defiant resolve and empowerment to manifest into future achievements and personal growth...which, I am very happy to say, is precisely my current mindset (due in no small part to you and your extraordinary channel, videos, and comments!). Regarding the position I was not selected for, I received significant positive feedback afterwards (not only from my manager, but also some of the other interviewers, and even personally from the head/VP of Engineering) that it had been an extremely close call and difficult decision between myself and the other final candidate, and that ultimately the only concern they had pertained to my less-than-ideal technical expertise/exposure regarding some of the content and day-to-day processes that the team of engineers I'd be managing are responsible for (which would have been a different team and scope than the ones I have focused my career on up to this point). In light of this, I am now striving to quickly bridge as many of those remaining gaps as possible while continuing to learn as much as I can about the work and industry as a whole. I dearly appreciate your interest into the situation, and look forward to sharing a more positive career-related update in the near future!

As a professional writer, I have so much respect for these video essay channels. Keep up the great work!

@jameschristophercirujano6650

No. While we don't know how they look like previously, we can assume it isn't too different from the Ironforge dwarfs, and Wildhammers. It's simply due to being enslaved by Ragnaros, and slowly changed them to what they are not, somewhat elemental dwarfs. This is also my gripe with how Blizzard inserted black people in WoW, the official dumbass lore is because of Stranglethorn 🙃. They should've capitalized on the fact that it was because of the Dark Irons summoning Raganaros in Redridge, and the humans who still tried living there changing. Then make most people in Morgan's vigil black.

Lovely retelling of this story. Read about it years on years ago but it's nice to hear it again

Really love how you sort of did an Ironforge episode but built it around the story of these clans at war. I have wondered if you were going to do videos for just main cities so its cool you are able to do that this way by telling a greater story.

Hey, thanks for the heads-up! Sometimes, after spending a considerable amount of time working on a script, it's easy to overlook instances of duplicated phrases or terms. I'll make a conscious effort to be more aware about this moving forward!

Is... Is the text AI generated? There are certain parts in the storytelling, that seem a bit off, like in the beginning, you say Modimus Anvilmars name over and over again and repeat certain phrases, just altering the words used a little bit.

lol imagine if one of these came out but it was just flying buttress with a voice changer.

8:22 Man, there's been a lot of errors lately. They did not go to the Searing Gorge or the Burning Steppes, they went to Redridge. It was because of the summoning of Ragnaros why those two zones came into existence.
