Varian Wrynn’s Story- All Cinematics in ORDER [WoW Lore: Complete] 

“A King Has Fallen. A Father. A Friend. A Warrior.” Hiya Folks! The culmination of sweat, tears and mucus (mostly mucus), I’ve finally completed my longest project yet, a true tribute to Varian Wrynn, my personal favorite character in all of WoW. That intro sequence alone took most of my time out of the whole video. Very surprised to see it come out coherently! Here’s to big hopes we get to see him one last time in Shadowlands. And Tiffin of course! Family reunions are great. There’s a lot more on his backstory, mostly covered in novels, but his story in WoW starts directly in WoTLK, after the whole gladiator backstory, Onyxia schemes, losing his wife Tiffin to the Defias riots, friendship with Arthas, and all that jazz. Take care for now!

Respect to The King, from The Horde.. RIP Brave Warrior.

We will never forget our king. He lived as a hero, he died as a legend. Thanks for this video. For the Alliance!

Out of the two main leaders of both the horde and alliance, Varian was the longest leader of the alliance going from Wrath of the lich king to warlords, he will be missed greatly

Am I the only one who cried while watching the video? Dude, I really miss Varyan. He was not the king we deserved but he was the king we needed. R.I.P Varyan Wrynn aka Lo'Gosh Dude, your edits are legendary. Thank yoi Athelarius

Man, i cry everytime he says "take this to my son"

Their will never be a King more brave than Varian Wrynn. He is the most iconic of all the heroes in WoW and it has been my great pleasure and honor to serve at his side for so many years..and to watch his death again has brought me to tears. RIP my King! For the Alliance!

My favorite character is Varian, too. To this day I cannot watch his death without shedding tears. Thank you for making this well-done memorial!

I love seeing the difference between Varian and his son as a king, but i truly believe that Anduin will be a great king. He might want the peace now and we cannot really blame him on this, but it is also because he’s very young (only 19). I am actually looking forward having a reunion of Varian and Anduin in SL or i will cry (also want Liam to calm his father because damn he’s more talking about his dead son than his alive daughter)

I cried like a baby when they took him away from us on the Broken Shore. Thanks for sharing his story again.

23:54 "a sword is a weapon of warriors, but patience is a weapon of kings"

When the horde leader starts dying the horde pulls back. When the alliance starts dying OUR LEADER SHOWS THEM WHY WE WON'T BE STOPPED!!! MAY OUR KING REST AND PEACE AND MAY THE ALLIANCE LIVE ON, FOR THE **ALLIANCE**!!!

Varian’s death makes tears on my face every time, and today end of his story in the video was no exception. What priceless heroes of the Alliance were before: Varian, Uther, Antonidas, Tyrion, Daelin. Such people are considered very rare pearls and it will be very difficult to find someone like them again. I cant see the same worthy replacements in the new generation. The death of such people is a shock and bitterness both for their world and for those who experienced their history with them.

As a horde player for 15 years, I still fucking loved Varian. Dude was a total badass and had nothing but respect for the King. RIP to the 🐐

"We will end you,, Anduin two expansions later: "Yeah, the Horde did destroy Teldrassil, commited numerous war crimes and killed light knows how many innocents, but remember, there were some among the Horde who rebelled against Sylvanas and afterall, the Horde was also a victim of Sylvanas. So let's forget that anything happened in the past between us and let's be friends again!,,

I genuinely shed a small tear when Anduin met Wrynn in that last segment there. A final goodbye! For the Alliance! Justice for Darnassus!

Still, TO THIS DAY, i think its hilarious that the horde leaders were basically fucked up by 2 demonguards (one who stabbed voljin, and the other one who beat up thrall) And varian is there playing challenger duo Q with genn But if varian died one way, i loved that it was this way. He deserved the most heroic of deaths, and got it, by saving the entire alliance this day (by saving the leaders.)

“Let them come. Frostmourne hungers!” One of the most badass lines I’ve ever heard.

The ending makes me cry like crazy, thank for sharing the story again, your editing skills are amazing!!

As a guy whos favourite character is Varian this is hard to watch. He died a hero's death like a true warrior. Gone but never forgotten!

I may have been (and still am) a Tauren for the past 15 years, but I still can't deny my respect for Varian Wrynn. One of the greatest (fictional) and inspirational kings, let alone characters to have ever lived in the WoW universe.

Thank you for this 🥺

I miss Varian he was a true bad ass

Varian had absolutely the best exit. He died on HIS own terms.

Legion will always be my favorite expansion. It had its ups and downs, but the amount of quality writing in it was flawless to me.

I have always fought for the Horde and I will always fight for it, but Varian Wrynn was a true warrior!

This Editing from you is great Athelarius! You make a good Job at this! 👍

This wound never heals.

I’m hopefully to see Varian again, liked him more than the Anduin. Even if it’s just a Cameo for the expansion, maybe giving a message to Anduin we carry to him.

1:18:10 Even here, at the Vari END! (Cries uncontrollably).

I enjoyed this, thank you for your efforts

as a horde player there are many members of the Alliance I do not like, I do not stand, alot that I could not side with. But Varian was always a hero that I could accept as both a leader and a warrior. He has been a hothead for a long time but he never failed those relying on him. was enjoying seing more of the alliance side of his backstory that I couldn't even witness on horde side.

"Whenever I look back I can still see them, there faces not easy to forget, the brave men and women, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters of the Alliance, heirs of Thoradin, Anasterian Sunstrider & Modimus Anvilmar, holding back the Tides of Darkness, wave after bloody wave, I was there when Stormwind fell, I was there when Commander Lothar told King Terenas the grave news, as your countrymen disembarking on the shores of Lordaeron, following the exodus of your father, I was there when Turalyon rallied our soldiers for the battles that lied ahead, I was there at Battle of Hillsbrad Foothills and I was there during the March on Blackrock Spire, leading the charge of our cavalry , I saw what our armies was more then capable, I saw Alleria Windrunner and High Elf Archers turning the sky a silver storm of death on our foes, I saw Kurdran Wildhammer & his gryphon riders bring down the hammer of wrath on the orcs, quite literally I might add, I saw Khadgar & the other mages unleashed torrents of blizzards & fire storms, dwarven & men held the shield wall, there armor strong & there shields broad, our resolve was steel, elven archer and dwarven riffle men picking down targets left and right, mages and mortar fire blowing up craters one after another, gryphons & dragons in the skies, gnomish copters mowing down enemy forces, I saw as heroes rose and fell,.........and friends die, But you know this story, both Bolvar and your father know this, but it was only after he was old enough I would talk in more "details" about my battles, the same could be said about Arthas, That is what I see every night I look into the fires of my hearth or my cooking spot, I never forget their faces, my curse for living this long, so no, I do not fear nor shy away from war Anduin, its the fact that I have to crave it in order to win it, As for why I kept on fighting well it is simple really, its what I am good at, unfortunately, I tend to be the best at what I do and what I do is not very nice, that and young people like you who have hope are the best chance at the future and that is a future worth fighting for," - Alexandar of Arathor, 7th Legion Knight-Commander of the Alliance, Paladin & Highlord of the Silver, First Sword of Strom,

Sylvanas' death magic sure woulda came in handy on the first cinematic

The most badass character in video game history. You shall live forever my King!

agree or not, Varian is most badass king I ever seen in a video game, I really cried when he died, and cried more when I've seen his trailer in heroes of the storm.

I love this, but i wish you'd included more of the Wrathgate, as it adds more weight and context to Varian's anger in the Violet Citadel, and also to the moment in ICC with Saurfang. I think this is great, I only nitpick because I think this type of story+video that what would get new players invested, some of my friends for instance. but I imagine seeing the end of Wrathgate without context might be kinda jarring lol. Awesome work though

I played heavy during mistaof pandaria. And this brings back such great memories

i´m till this day sad abouth his death.. just cant get over it

Genn Graymane needs to be in way more cutscenes where he's actually fighting

Varian, Saurfang, Jaina, and Muradin at ICC is such a legendary scene.

what a king must do, hits differents I swear

I like how Illidan killed Gul'dan just like Gul'dan killed Varian."You will be remembered, as the warlock who sacrificed his life, for NOTHING!"

Dude, our Varian T-T A true legend.

His death still gets me. Something tells me we'll see him in Maldraxxus or maybe Bastion?

I always played Horde, and King Varian made the Alliance a worthy enemy to fight. Respect!

He will always be our king. For the Alliance!!

3:30 - 8:10 Epic retreat

Rest in peace king Varian Wrynn' and For the Alliance!

RIP my King...

Legion was the last light of hope.. and BFA violently extinguished it.

Varian is the best King in Stormwind history! What a legend!

I cried because when I see this, I see the Warcraft that was taken away from me by its new writers. I hear the music, see the characters and feel the world. It's so alive. And then I play WoW Dragonflight and I feel nothing, see nothing. Compared to what was, it is empty.

47:03 funny to see this after BFA

Emotional AF.

It would be cool too cool for the game if by a miracle we could get the sholders at least the sholders like varian, we did got garrosh sholders in pandaria, guldans in WOD + archimond, why not a true hero tmog all will love it a lot of ppl will try to get them, a lot of us players dream to be like our hero

what should I watch before this one?

I love Garrosh, but he’s lucky that Rhonin broke up the fight with Varian... he’d have gotten his ass handed to him.

I never played the recent expansions thou I've been trying to follow the lore. Can anyone explain to me, how the hell Sylvanas turned from what she was in the start of Legion to whatshe is in BFA.

for ever my king !!!

Varian made the alliance cool

I'm not Alliance in anyway but this man he struggled so hard to change his ways and get to where he was in his final hours he used to be so reckless and impulsive but he grew not just because of his son but for his people he is the true king of the Alliance in my eyes

How do you separate the music from voices in videos and edit them? I’ve always wondered that? Please share

"what a king must do"

VARIAN MY KING

Be still my heart :(

Brin Wrynn back!

Garrosh and Thrall should of been a comedy team.

ME and my daughter both cryed when Varian died and also whern Anduin got Shalamayne!

He knew he was never going to be like his son so he sacrificed himself to make sure his son and people would be saved

Every day I go to Lion's Rest to /salute and /forthealliance

I hated him for hating the Horde, but he earned respect on both sides.

Best king

Am I only one found it funny Fordring burnt and Scooby Doo cartoon style fell into the acid pit? Lol

FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They sure gave Varian an Epic last stand but I am still mad at how they treated Tirion. Hope they redeem themselves with Uther in shadowlands

"I only regret that I didn't kill that human before the mage interfered" Yeah... keep telling that to yourself Garrosh... you totally wouldn't get your ass handed to you on a platter ...

Wait didn’t Muradin die I don’t play the game so can someone explain to me? Ps I wish I could play it though but sadly I don’t have a PC although I could afford a subscription.

For The Alliance!

Horde like allways running!

RIP comadante!

Hahaha the "rude'' at 1:15:21

For The Lion King For The Alliance

1:08:17 footman clunk

One shots a fucking fel reaver let’s goooo

Everyone on her crying for Varian... not seeing a single tear shed for Vol’jin. FOR THE HORDE!!! p.s. - They really should’ve let us meet Varian again in the Halls of Valor.

If only Varion new why the Horde retreated

KING WITH BIG BALLS VARIAN. If horde fails to uphold honor, as garrosh did... we will end you.

Varian is the reason I will always main a warrior, also I wish it was genn that stayed back instead. He’s so damn useless.

The scene where he's in the water is incomplete. He's supposed to get out and start mauling people. I actually liked that scene and only half is shown. That disappointed me.

Dont get soft on me Varian.... teehee

i heard this is Based on a true story...

I know this might seem like a silly question but why exactly did Sylvannas retreat from the battle? Like I know Voljin didn't want everyone to die battling the legion but I don't think he exactly meant "retreat". I see that he was stabbed and needed help ASAP but since when does Sylvannas "care" about anyone elses well-being? Also didn't she know they needed to destroy the legion or else she wouldn't be able to rule anyone/ anything if everything was destroyed by it? It had to be stopped either way right? I mean did she know Voljin would make her Warchief if she brought him back home or something? Sorry I'm just lost 🤷

I played for alliance, but I really liked VolJin

52:54

I miss the old Jaina, white hair and hatred for the horde

In years to come, Warcraft oldschool players will realize, that story-wise, Legion was the peak of the game. The biggest enemy of the Saga was on its full power, the storyline was SO forfilling, the cinematics were AMAZING.The game ended with our King gone and our #1 outcast character going on a space mission to fight Titans. What more can you ask? Yes, Wrath was ahead of it's time for an mmo, yes the timing was wright, yes we got to fight the Lich king. But Legion man... Put a pretty nice closer to. Long live the True King

why would he make garrosh warchief all he thinks is kill not a leader but a worthy soldier. imo

You know what's sad? WoD seemed pretty good as a setting and at the start. But then it happened. And it was fucking sickening.

if we get a wow move that is based on Varian Wrynn as thhe main character, then Keanu Reeves would be the perfect face for him
