The song is called The Sons of Arathor. It paying tribute to the fact that the city of Strom (Stromgarde) was the original capital city of the Arathor Empire which was the first ever unified Human nation to exist in the Warcraft universe.
This was one of my favorite tracks in Cata. It's such a chilling, somber, yet some-what hopeful theme. So fitting for the Arathi Highlands. Once the initial center of the Human Empire, now contexted between the Horde and Alliance, yet forever owned by the Elements.
Something broken, but worth fighting for...try to rebuild again... Honor and Brotherhood like Orikon25 said.. Just an awesome piece of music.. I really love this! Thank you blizzard for your Awesome Songs ! I Love them
The Forsaken think we're weak. A broken people. They think we'll roll over like a scared dog. How wrong they are. We will fight them in the fields until the last trench collapses and the last cannon is silenced. We will fight them on the streets until the last shot is fired. And when there's no more ammunition, we'll crush their skulls with the stones that pave our city. We will fight them in the alleys, until our knuckles are skinned and bloody and our rapiers lay on the ground shattered. And if we find ourselves surrounded and disarmed... wounded and without hope... we will lift our heads in defiance and spit in their faces. But we will... NEVER SURRENDER!!!!! FOR GILNEAS!!!
3:10-3:53.. Such greatness, such mightyness, such victory.. This really is amazing guys. Everything seems possible when you hear this soundtrack. Good job blizzard!
I think that 3:10 is the best part because it captures the reason why I ( and maybe a few of you others ) play WoW. For the beauty, and tragedy, the blood and the peace, the joy and the sparrow. I can't speak for any of you guys but this is the best musical piece in WoW.
I have played wow since vanilla and have always listened to the music of wow (since I am writing much music myself), there are many great tracks but this is BY FAR the best one.
The Rise of the Forsaken seems to have no end. They've taken back all of Silverpine and almost all of the Eastern Plaguelands, they swept through Hillsbrad and killed everything that wore the insignia of the Alliance, and are now commencing their attack on Arathi. I'm waiting for the day where King Wryyn realizes the true threat they pose and an all-out war breaks out between the Eastern Alliance and the Forsaken/Blood Elves begins.
World of Warcraft has the BEST video game soundtrack. I have heard numerous game soundtracks and this is by far best. I miss wow, cause i cannot listen to this music while i play
Never heard this piece before but... OH MY GOD IT SOUNDS SOOOO POWERFUL!! Let me go on my horse, I don't want to live in a big city and work everyday anymore!
With Legion coming out there's hints to Danath Trollbane returning! Hopefully he'll reunite the Stromgarde people and rebuild the once great empire to combatant the legion!
I want an event to happen here where a massive battle for Stromgarde happens between the forsaken and the league of arathor, that would be so fucking epic! XD
2:57 -3:55 -> i imagine the dwarves , united , at a single front to stand their ground in a line of trust against anything that threatens the peace of the Alliance ! If you read " The Dwarves" by Markus Heitz , you will know what i am talking about ...
@Troo44 There is kind of a hint in one of the forsaken quests that there will be a major patch involving arathi highlands. Something like "The conquest of arathi will not take days, but months" That's how I kind of remember what was said.
They did bro. Gnomes used one on Gnomergan (with a 'radiation bomb', in other words a nuke or dirty bomb) to combat the Trogg invasion. That's why I love gnomes man, they freakin' nuke their own city to fight an invasion. Talk about crazy.
Yeah, but it should be made bigger, so it'll have what a city needs. BG masters, class trainers, etc. Also, maybe they can add something there useful for pvp
@RolandAxforde Well, if the Alliance goes to war with the Forsaken, I'm sure the Blood Elves, who are like a n hour's walk away from Undercity, will not city idly by and watch...even though the Forsaken are kind of douche bags.
I think if they slowed the pace of expansion release, WoW would be much more than it is today :) Timing is key, now the game is overflowing with rubbish.
