What is hidden behind the symbol of the snake or a dragons head above the Dark Portal? We examine this question in our new video, which analyses the story of Thrall and the Orcs in Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne.

“The Redemption: A Tale of Two Brothers?” - explores the epic story of the Orcs in Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne through the lens of myth and allegory. This video delves into the Exodus of the Horde, portraying it as a clash between tradition and the unknown, with Thrall as a hero savior bridging the gap between the Great Father, embodied by Grommash Hellscream, and the Great Mother, manifested by the Night Elves. Join us in this journey across the lands of Kalimdor, Azeroth, and Draenor, featuring key figures like Durotan, Draka, Orgrim, Gul'dan, Ner'zhul, Tyrande, and Cairne. Drawing insights from Jordan B. Peterson, Christie Golden, Rudolf Otto, and Northrop Frye, this analysis brings depth to the Warcraft universe and its rich lore.
