Silvermoon City - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft 

Lor'themar's journal Journal of the Regent Lord, entry 83 I cannot remember the last time I told anyone such a bald-faced lie, even since I was forced into politics. But I did lie to Aethas, and he knows it, and I know it, and anyone who heard me say it knows it. My will means very little, in fact. I can pretend my power is real, but in the end, it is all an act, and none of it is honest. I can wash my hands of it, play martyr, be victimized, and accomplish nothing, or I can fight and victimize others in my turn and thus become the essence of all I have battled. If I have ever rationalized my choices using any other logic, I was certainly lying to myself. Hawkspear was right: I deal with the devil indeed, but the Sunwell may never have been restored had we not sunk to those levels. He and Aurora can sleep soundly, knowing they have never compromised their ethics, but if they deny that they prosper in the wake of those who have, then they delude themselves as much as I. Here I find myself so close to believing that the ends justify the means. But the ruins of the Magisters' Terrace will haunt me forever, reminding me of the fate I tempt with that thought. This is the line I walk, finally knowing that the actions I take in necessity are nonetheless indefensible. Those truths can never be reconciled, but sometimes I can hold them both side by side and almost understand. I might call this revelation profound if I were ignorant enough not to realize that I am only learning what Kael'thas, and Anasterian before him, had also learned in their turns. All we can do is walk the road we are given with such dignity as we can muster, each to our own glory or demise, and pray that there yet remains something of our own hearts when all is said and done. By the Sunwell, I hope that there will remain something of mine.

This music makes me sort of sad. Not because of the blood elf lore, but because so few people travel through this city, no one ever hears the music or enjoys the spectacular architecture

This city feels like it's 4 pm all day, everyday.

The only horde city with music so beautiful that I would sneak in as an alliance rogue just to listen.

Silvermoon, my home. This music makes me think of when I first started WoW and how things were back then. I am a loyal blood elf, so this is incredible to hear. I fall asleep to this every night.

Fact: Kael'thas was a victim of his circumstances and was forced into situations nobody else would want to be in, just to save his people. He succeeded by sacrificing his life, his morality, and his posthumous reputation and honor. When his father's kingdom crumbled and he knew there was no time for false glory, Kael'thas went into the literal and figural abyss. He didn't do it on his own, and because he had lost his orientation in the process he wouldn't have succeeded without the Naaru intervening and repairing what he had broken, and his own people betraying him, but in the end it served the purpose after all. Blood Elves who blame or hate Kael'thas, without remembering that he ultimately saved their lives and society, are ignorant rabble unworthy of his legacy. His story is tragic but he doesn't deserve being judged only for his later actions, but with consideration of the hoplessness he faced for his beloved people. In contrast to Azshara who only cared about her empire and who viewed her people as her possessions, Kael'thas cared about his people with his blood and he felt great obligation and debt towards them. We only can repay him by honoring his sacrifice, and the warning his tragic end teaches us. Rest in Peace Kael'thas Sunstrider, we will not forget your love. 💝

Silvermoon city was really aesthetically pleasing but it was always a bit empty. After the burning crusade it was pretty much abandoned for anything but a few quests.

I might be biased because I play as a blood elf, but I honestly think Silvermoon is one of the most beautiful places in all of Azeroth.

I still love coming here in-game for the music. I loved the whole Blood Elf starting-area.

Messed up at 45:00 during editing. Decided to leave it as a badge of shame. Also, didn't feel like doing another 10+ hours rendering. Lesson of the day: Doing something important? Check. Checked already? Check again.

I use this as my study background music nowadays. Silvermoon will always have a special place in my heart. I used to play as a blood elf with my sister. We always played and leveled up together. It was so much fun. Sometimes I liked to go back here and just stroll around the city. It was more inconvenient to go back here for training/bank/etc than Orgrimmar, but it was still my favourite.

Our city is such a beautiful city. Glory to the Sin'dorei!

I have two homes in Azeroth. Silvermoon City and Thunder Bluff. And the first one is by far my favorite. A city where you feel peace, total calmness. In Silvermoon everything is in order, its totally secure. These huge enchanted guardians take care of your safety. Magic brooms sweep the floors keeping the City clean. Beauty of the architecture. I want to go back.

"The blood elves will endure any hardship, overcome any obstacle, and emerge stronger than before." - Regent lord Lor'themar Theron.

the first time you walk in is something you never forget

"I'm out of range"

I literally can smell magic in the air.

I remember how I wished that people would hang out in Silvermoon instead of Org when TBC came out. Unfortunately getting there is a pain in the ass if you're not a mage. Easily the most beautiful capital city in the game.

I don't even play the game anymore but the music, art and story of the blood elves is so beautiful and magical. Silvermoon will always have a place in my heart. i listen to this while studying and I'm transported to another world.

I love Silvermoon. It just always seems so empty, there's usually only lowbie toons running around leveling; I wish the devs would do something to make it relevant again, and it would be nice to be able to fly there.

Although my heart is with the alliance and I'm with them till death, My first ever character was a Blood elf hunter that I levelled for a while before making my alliance. Silvermoon and Eversong woods and Ghostlands will always hold a special place in my heart.

to me is like midday, the early autumn, you know, when it`s still warm outside, but not hot anymore. Just perfect. But I love Silvermoon (and Eversong Woods in general) during the night. There is omething magical, I can`t describe it

Forever my favorite starting zone of all. I just can't spend *too* much time there at a stretch because I would probably crumple into a state of sobbing despair... to me, everything there and every single note of music rings of amazing, epic, unforgettable adventures, and the deeply tragic story of the Blood Elves. I don't know how others find this calming - though I am of course happy for you guys that that is so!! - I simply find such a sadness in the music and the empty streets, which I am at the same time addicted to and mustn't overdose on. (Reference intended.)

I don't know if the music of Silvermoon has to sound peaceful, I find it to be slightly sad as if it shows the hardships through which the blood elves went through to build their new home. What emotions does this music invoke in you, guys?

I started Wow in 2009 and even though I ended up being an alliance main because of an irl friend I will never forget my first character I stayed dedicated too. Roaming around the blood elf starting zone with this this style of soundtrack playing for the first time is most definitely an experience I will never forget.

In my WoW days, I would spend my crafting and AH time here since no one was ever here. This music will always take me back.

tbc and wotlk was the era when blizzard really cared about player immersion, the fact that i can listen to this all day makes it so unique, times that will never come

When I was a little guy, I embraced every little piece of this game. I loved it everytime I started a new character, I was full of joy starting a new journey through the game, it was different as a kid. This game and this soundtrack still means a beautiful happy world to me! A masterpiece!

Before i started to play WoW I was watching my brother playing this game back in 2008 and he was mostly spending his time in this City "Silvermoon" so now i know why

29:06 is spine-chilling ... encapsulates the E͓̽P͓̽I͓̽C͓̽N͓̽E͓̽S͓̽S͓̽ of TBC expansion and the feeling of unknown which was so novel at the time. There was a time with very little spoilers, no "play-through" series and you were venturing in to a totally immersive, and new, world!!

Really miss playing. Been many years.

A distanza di anni, sentendo questa traccia, affiorano ed affioreranno sempre i ricordi belli di tutti quei giorni vissuti e sudati in quell’espansione.. se potessi tornare in dietro, tornerei volentieri tra le mura di silvermoon.. peccato che quel wow non tornerà più.

Одна из самых красивых локаций с замечательной музыкой, передающей характер народа эльфов крови. Сама музыка рассказывает нам о тех несчастья, что выпали на долю эльфов крови и закалило их характер. Леса вечной песни такие же гордые и благородные как народ, населяющий эти земли. Эта земля так же как и эльфы имеет на себе чудовищный след, оставленный армией плети, не даром этот след называется "Шрам", поскольку такие же шрамы остались в душах каждого из народа эльфов крови.

I still remember when I was in love with Lor'themar's and I always went to Silvermoon to visit him and show him respect by kneeling, spending time next to him made everything feel so real.

Thank you Everness, what a befitting name for someone who has immortalised our childhood nostalgia ❤

Im an alliance player and thats a thing that we all cant change anything about, but I love the blood elves so much. They are the most beautiful race in wow and their culture and city is amazingly stunning.

Well i'm a Brazilian player, and in the server i used to play named Gallywix we used to hang out over there, so i always appreciated that environment and it was really a privilege

I remember when i first seen silvermoon and thought it was the most kick ass place in the game.

8:58 🥰 that note...

I would afk my toon here all the danm time just for the music and ambience. Reminds me of the enchanted castle in Beauty and the Beast.

WoW music makes me feel so alive, every second that goes by listening to it is another different sensation full of pleasure and glory that runs through my whole body, i enjoy so much these moments of my life where my happiness and oxytocin rise to the maximum, and the i feel in my fingers the sensation of touching the sky. I am so grateful to have been born in this generation to enjoy this beautiful composition, and masterful artistic work. The emotions i feel are so strong that it is inevitable for me to grab the blanket tightly.

1:26 for the Glory of Quel'thalas!!! nostalgic! thanks man that was My one My nostalgic piece of My memories of this music in game FOR THE HORDE!!! :)

The cinematography here exceeds that of most nature documentaries. I've never seen Wow look so visually resplendent. Have you studied film before?

Looks like we may be headed back. I am so excited!!

Woah that melody brings me back, I had completely forgotten about it

Man if this city existed real life i'd move to it. the beauty, the music just that good.

this is the most beautiful zone of the game

Man, they should revamp the Blood-Elf starting zone, along with Draenei. So much to be improved upon, maybe, if Silvermoon were repaired (come on it's been like 10 years in lore...) and we could fly, more people would make it their permanent residence.

pls blizzard, make this game good again so I can come back to this place

Damn truly this is a masterpiece, I used to spend all my time after school on silvermoon city as a lil kid. I wish I could see WoW as I did back when I was younger

Oh god, i love rp in this place, music and architecture are so beautifull

the eternal sun guides us

Ahh my first ever character... the memories

When I hear this music, I can hear the voice of my old guildmates back in BC days: "Why are you leveling as a protection paladin!! It will take you ages to level up!" Precisely. I want to take it slow and enjoy the journey.

Everness, well done man! I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos! Keep it up!

Back in time, when every momentum had a very important message. You can sense it in the gameplay, hear it from the music, and you can see it as they built up the blood elf zones. Where is it nowadays.. I think nowhere. Best hours and days in my gaming life were there. Wish there was a team that could create such a world, sad that it wont be WoW.

When i first played this game i would say it was magical :) i don't play this game anymore but i wish so soon.

Thanks for this! My favorite city and favorite music

Silvermoon City just puts you to relaxing state of mind 😌

I am OBSESSED with the music of silvermoon. I really miss those days ...

Arthas disliked this

Thank you. I really enjoy listening to it while working or studying. Gives me a good feeling :)

Love it most when like in this sequence the “camera” moves through the scene.Stuff of wonder!

fuck i didnt realize how much emotion i had tied to this music in particular, miss these days

This is the best location in the game

Reminds a lot of when i used to play wow as a Blood elf hunter my first character.

Third year of college, I and a pal I'll call Ken used to roleplay as our blood elves, him more the edge lord, myself a quirky trickster. In character, I asked him "When are you going to break down that tough attitude of yours? Maybe it'll just take the right lady? Or even the right man?" - he didn't answer. I PM'd him "Still there?," he answered "Yeah, sorry, that hit me for some reason." - Little did I know he was still coming out to himself, and just wasn't ready yet either for himself or others. But he did eventually. He has a fantastic fellow in his life now. I still have Ken on facebook. Like many friends from college, we drifted away and just give each other the occasional like.

I wish they would update the city already..

I main alliance but Silvermoon/Sunstrider Isle are my favorite areas in the whole game. Beautiful scenery and music

oh my goddd, this channel is amaaaziiing, thank you! lol

This zone used to be the biggest hussle and bussle for every Horde RP server. Now... Visiting the city, you won't find a single player. Not a single soul. Makes you quite sad...

It's so sad that Silvermoon is so far off the rest of Azeroth so few people regularly visit it.

Mi ciudad, mi gente cuántos recuerdos hay aquí para mí "Anu belore dela,na"

Our gift of the arcane enlightens us. Our gift of frost shields us Our gift of fire empowers us

I would really love to fly over this city

My home!!!!!!!! Beautiful.

My favorite place in wow.

Wonderful as always! Keep it up!

If you're using your phone, slowly slide the search bar from begining to the end for a city tour:)

Silvermoon is so pretty but doggone it...trying to remember how to get in and out ..remembering where the entrance was

I really hope they will rebuild silvermoon to its glory without the scourge in dead scar and ghostlands will be part again among living and a new king

it helps a lot to meditation!

1:34 the composer was listening to some wagner (ride of the valkyri anyone?)

This video, is so nice my friend. Well done!

For some reason I always feel the urge to sing about razors when I’m in silvermoon.

came here to bring back memories.

Great video! Thank you for amazing moment ^.^

Forever burned into my childhood memories.

I wish I could mod this entire game to be single-player-able with a character like Jak and Daxter or Spyro. I feel like the graphics and atmosphere are so similar that they would fit right in.

Ahh, my home

Hi man Really enjoying your videos, really helps me to prepare for finals Any chance you'll upload Grizzly hills music in the future? Keep it up :)

arathi highlands Ambience...that will be nice :) Like your Videos, keep it up.

i love sneaking into eversong and silvermoon

Amazing work :) Well done!

Damn, it feels like home

They really need to give some love to this zone. Its such an amazing zone, just wish they didnt throw it under the bus :(.

Great music it touches my hearts strings.

Amazing place to hang out!

They threw Illidan, Naga's of Vash and the Kael'Thas Blood Elves under the bus for no reason. And now, after all those years, the only playable race are random dragons and vulperin? An insult to my soul, I hope they don't bring Kael'Thas back, else he will suffer the Illidan fate.
