The Story of Kael'thas Sunstrider - Full Version [Lore]

Ah, seems I finally found Kael's old voicelines within this video, and I can gladly say : the new ones are better

Garithos orders weren't that bad made sense given the undead scenario and paranoia

arfus.

On the mission where you repair the observatories I destroy them before the end cuz f*ck garithos

I'm looking for Lore as I seen 9Via Hearthstone) that this guy has turned evil recently, or was he always evil? he now has red balls? lol.

my gamer dad loved to play this game and named me kael' thas and i searched my name and found this

RIP Kael'thas

wow the beginning of the video really dates this one... " they added a new character to HEROES OF THE STORM " lol.

Isn't one other possibility why Kael'thas sent the Bloodelves to attack Adal and Shattrath because he was allready following orders from Kil'Jaeden at this time? I did not hear that so far i believe.

blizzard can't do good writing elder scrolls have better and legacy of kain. blizzard always thrown good character in trash, kael'thas need be returned would be in cataclysm...

World of warcraft is fanfics

..noebbel.uve had the same amount of subscribers for years..what gives..
..ever since you showed your face profile instead of just narrating w out showing your skinhead..you stopped getting new subscribers..maybe you should go back to the old you and stop showing your face..

Mph

This needs to be updated

Garithos is not an asshole, he is the God Emperor of mankind

All wow has taught me is if your a king or queen of something you will go nuts and turn into a horrible person to either protect your power or to gain more of it like all the important people get turned evil regardless on if they concented to it or not

got to update your lore videos cause of shadowlands

Wow. Awesome. I love the blood elves. They are freaking awesome. They are second only to night elves for my favorite WOW race. It is a close second at that. This really gets into the history of the blood elve. I especially like the part where it shows the beginning of the game for a blood elf. There is an arial view of Eversong Woods with a voice over giving a history summary. Wow. That just gets me in the feels, and I am filled with nostalgia. I actually started playing WOW during BC. Blood elves is one of the first races I played. It is the first Horde race for me. I have just as much nostalgia for Eversong Woods and Azuremist Isle as I do for the vanilla starting zones. There is an interesting part of history that the Sunwell blew up to take down invading forces, and the blood elves had to pay a huge price. I like to play male blood elves because they are so hot. I get used to thier emotes. One flirt emote said "Your eyes shine like the Sunwell before the explosion that doomed us all of course." This flirt refers to this event. One major part of the blood elves is the addiction to magic. There are two amusing silly emotes for this. One is where the male blood elf talks about having the patch for arcane magic. Another is where he tries to recite the Serenity Prayer. Then he gets frustrated. He said that someone should give him some magic before he kills somebody. I did learn something interesting about the blood elves in this video. They are associated with phoenixes. It makes sense once the video explains it. I wonder if that is why blood elves have large flightless birds as their mounts.

This video is specifically about Kaelthas Sunstrider. It is interesting to see what his life is like. He is basically the blood elf that teamed up with Illiden during BC. I like playing male blood elves, because they are hot. It is nifty to have one as a prominant character in the lore. I knew how the drenai were related to the BC from the beginning. They lived in Outland for a while. Then they escaped on the Exodar from the Burning Crusade. They crashed in Azurmist Isle in Azeroth. The blood elves are a bit tricky to link, even if the came in the same expansion. The lore in the starting zones, Eversong Woods and Ghostlands, talk about how the blood elves fought against the Scourge. It is very similar to the lore of the Forsaken zones nearby. This would fit in vanilla really easily. Now in recent times, I learned of the connection. There was a group of blood elves going into outland to seek magic from demons. It was a way to sate thier thirst of magic. So blood elves do fit in BC. Quelthas was the blood elf that lead this group. I think of him as a blood elf version of Illiden. I guess it fits that he was a major servent of Illiden in BC. Quelthas got upset because he lost in a love triangle. He struggled to fight against the evil forces. Then he eventually joined the Burning Legion. When I watch this video, I see how desperate Quelthas was. That would make for a very interesting character.

Love triangles with elf guys can get odd. Jackson added one to his film adaptation of the Hobbit. I was oh so baffled by this. Why on Middle Earth would Tauriel be lovey dovey with Kili when Legolas is right the heck there. It makes no freaking sense. Legolas is really hot. He is hotter than any dwarf. That is for darn sure. My love of elves applies to fantasy in gereral, not just WOW. WOW has a similar situation. Jaina goes for Arthas when Quelthas is right there. This is a bit easier to justify. Both guys were hot at the time. Jaina is a human, like Arthas. Maybe it would have worked if Arthas hadn't become the Lich King. The Stratholm incident would be enough to push him over moral event horizon. Iguess the love triangle that makes the most sense is the one with Night Elves. Tyrande had to pick between two super hot night elf brothers. This could really go either way. Tyrande picked Malfurian, and this is due to Malfurian's great druid ability. It works well enough. Looking back I do get more attatched to Illiden. Maybe he wouldn't have turned to evil if he got love an cuddles. If Tyrande won't take Illidin, I would. He used to be real hot. Unfortunatly he got creepy later on as he looked like a demon. I feel the same way about Kaelthas. If Jaina won't have him, I will. Maybe love and cuddles would help him stay away from evil. He is even hot thoughout almost all the video. He only gets creepy at the last minute in Keldanas. Arthas was mean to Kaelthas. Garithos was even worse, the racist prick. It ticks me off as an elf lover. I see how the blood elves turned to the Horde and the Burning Legion. They were nicer to them. There is a great part when Quelthas fights Arthas with swords. Arthas speaks biting words and bullies Kaelthas. Then Kealthas has a great comeback. He said that Jaina hated Arthas too. Ha! Take that, Arthas.

Nice casual Ashes of AL'ar loot there

So no one really cares about the first TK run dropped Ashes of Alar for him lol

I love wow but i hate the way they retconned Kael'thas. (First and most fickle, but the book says he is perfect in his beauty, why did they make him a huge hulking ugly fabio in the warcraft 3 remake???? He should be slender and beautiful, it's Canon!) Anyway, here's my damn beef, Kael'thas was all into the Kirin Tor and his own father was on his butt about him paying more attention to his role as prince. He was a nerdy book elf who was studying in Dalaran when crap went down, came home to find 90% of his people genocided and ships of belf children drowned, and his father dead. He tries to step into his role of lord and strike back with his remaining warriors, and the racist Garithos who only valued human life tries to send him off to get killed and overwhelmed, so he accepts Nagas help and Garithos uses that as an excuse to imprison him and let him rot. Naga helps him break out and they go to outland because at this point what few are left of his people, who were addicted to mana, are now dying from magic withdrawal because the sun well is gone, so he's desparate to find a cure for his people. Then..... cue the next expansion, he is suddenly a mustachioed villain who enslaves his own..... WTF? You can see this when you look at the felo'melorn book too, it's first few pages are all in honor of how Kael'thas fought Arthas as the lich king over and over, but all we ever see is Sylvanas, then there is a clear break in the pages and suddenly Kael is a terrible villain. Then, they retconned him AGAIN in shadowlands to being a petulant brat who needs to be spanked in the afterlife. The only way i can live through the day, is to embrace my own head Canon that he actually made a doppleganger of himself to leave behind in wow and instead the real Kael'thas peaced out of this realm and went to DOTA as the Invoker Carl. I can't get over how sylvannas and tyrande genocide is just forgiven but when it comes to Kael'thas being retconned he has to be punished for eternity???? Yeah screw that, he's in DOTA as the Invoker.

Ya know alot of these "villains" seem to have gone past a certain point when their love interest was taken or not interested lmao. cough Illidan cough now Kael

Kael tried flirting with Jaina?

sheesh no wonder Arthas was so rough with his invasion of Quel thalas.

Not gonna lie. I like that jaina and arthas fell in love with a snowball fight. Frost specs getting frosty.

Who else agrees...
would pay MONEY $$$ for a WARCRAFT XV.

Anyone else notice how he flexed on us by showing himself loot ashes of al'ar?

the invoker in dota 2

HE IS BACK BABY

Now showing at netflix .

i dont think i buy the illadan was crazy bit. he wasnt crazy... he was driven

anyone know where it says the NE decree arcane magic use is punishable by death? i do believe this was said somewhere i just dont remember where

Kael'thas' entire history can be summed up as "beta male wants to be the alpha but fails horribly".

Kaelthas crazy In the end of the video

maiev is a yandre

The reason they banned the use of magic was because Illidan went crazy with its use and killed a bunch of his fellow night elves and then the use of magic combined with the dragonsoul caused the great sundering. The legion was always fully aware of the location of azeroth and had full intention of invading at any cost.

Thank you for the 3 part into 1 enjoyed it

The worst victim of WoW's butcher storytelling. The fact that Kael was not in Wrath of the Lich King is one of the greatest missed opportunity. I have contempt for how they hurt my boy Kael.

who the fuck is kilthus ?

Needs an update for SL

I wish they had added that his verdant spheres were whispering to him and that's what drove him mad.

what about after he went to shadowlands? why is it missing?

I still am not over TBC's writing.

dalarRran

The only caster that made me like fire magic.

So I'm rewatching lore vids while I play Shadowlands and as soon as Lady Vashj shows up on here, I find her in Maldraxxus but now called Baroness Vashj. Hell of a coincidence lol

Anasterian Sunstrider was King of the High Elves, but his most respected title was Chad Extraordinaire.

Really like your videos and appreciate all the work that goes into them.
