Lothar & The Arathi Bloodline - War Within Alpha Lore

Anduin Lothar once upon a time called upon the high elves to uphold their promise. A promise made to Thoradin of Arathor, the one who brought the human tribes together way back when. In this video we talk abit about those days. I hope you'll enjoy ^_^

100% of my decisions to resub over the years have been based on your content 😂

[Onyyxia]

a couple of things that's interesting about Faerin's model is, 1. She only has one arm. Pretty cool, looks like she maybe lost it in battle as it's on the same side as her blinded eye and scars. Maybe we'll get a backstory on how she lost it? 2. She also has the new pointed ears. I would assume this would mean she's half elf so maybe Anduin Lothar married a high elf some time ago? Although that is assuming she is a direct descendant of Anduin Lothar.

[adrasteia]

I never before thought of a parallel between Anduin's "corruption" by the jailer and the old god/ sargaras sword corruption happening to Azeroth now. Is Azeroth now feeling the same helplessness and emptiness Anduin described to Sylvanis? Interesting and very sad.

Part of me finds it funny and silly that Anduin is concerned the light wont answer him because of the "bad shit" he did, but never occurs to him that the Scarlet Crusade throws the light around like confetti and they've done worse (heck you could argue Turalyon (might have or could have) done the same thing under the light, and even Yrel was probably doing that too though I don't know how much Anduin knows of her).

Off topic though, I saw in some screenshots the Botani appearing again and there was a model of an "earth giant thing" from WoD coming back. Did they actually remember that happened?

[lytherael]

... So why the heck does Anduin have the short hair and heavy stubble combo in the flashback of being dominated by the Jailer?
He was clean shaven and had long hair at that point.

[stormstrider]

There seems to be some conflicting information about when these Arathi came there. The fact that they call themselves "Arathi", and have developed their own culture that still somewhat resembles the human cultures we know suggests they were sent there during the height of the Arathi Empire which was centuries ago. Though the name "Lothar" implies this lady might be related to Anduin Lothar, though she's likely of a different branch.

I also don't remember when exactly the Naaru first contacted humans telepathically which is how the Church of the Holy Light was born. Though these "Holy Arathi" do imply this might have happened as early as during the Empire. The Naaru might have recognized the courage and devotion of humanity early on. It's also very likely the giant crystal in Hallowfall is related to the Naaru, whos whispers guided them to this sacred location many years ago.

Speaking of Anduin Wrynn, if anyone could help him overcome his trauma and reconnect with the Light, it might be these Arathi.

[catrinastars]

Naw, maybe a distant cousin of him, this off shoot of Arathi left before they split into the human kingdoms we know from retail.

[Nanaki_VII]

I love the time when we can speculate about all what is coming. It means it's time for new Nobbel content

[Village_Eldar]

No comment on the elven traits seen among the Arathi?

[apacalypsagon]

Sounds to me they give new characters these names just to give legitimatcy so that it's supposed to be warcraft enough. Like partying with thrall jaina and anduin gives an aura of legitimacy while playing through shadowlands even though it was the least like warcraft expansion ever.

[aspiringnormie]

Does nobody have sons anymore? Only daughters?

[ryanlynch]

My characters struggle is missing varian to much he was a gigachad warrior

[Rakshiir]

I am curious if they ever explain where she comes from, who she actually is, ect.
Or if they just throw her in as a Lothar with little to no explanation expecting us to connect to her simply due to the name alone.

[Alexandterrara]

my wild theory was that the light crystal in WOW Season of discovery is the TIP of the light crystal / naaru in the new zone. I am even more convinced of this theory because of that "recently" comment. Although recent in this case is like... 2800 years before WoW or something
Also, I think Faerin is Anduin Lothar's grand(grand?) aunt.
Here's why: It is most likely that this Arathi have splintered off some time after the troll wars. Lothars could have been an old family line (would fit Anduin's insane speech skills too).
If you pay attention, Faerin's model has pointy ears indicating she is half-elf, so its possible she was young / alive when people first moved to hallowfall (could have been a child of old Lothars starting a family with newly found allies i.e. high elves). High elves also worshipped light, so if they heard about a light crystal falling somewhere in the middle of arathi highlands, they's probably join the expedition.

[denniszaychik]

Okay, so looking at what we have currently it can be said that Faerin is indeed more than just a forced diversity icon. Her story is certainly interesting and has some well-written character moments. I especially liked how she described her faith and reasons for being devoted to the Light while talking to Anduin in regards to his inner doubts.

[breadpilled]

I'm so excited to get more lore about this family.

[mrmarvel]

Varian's mother was Anduin Lothar's sister. So Anduin Wyrnn does have Lothar blood too.

[QueenofMurlocs]

I hope they will have some special dialog with Aleria, void and blood elf. Bcus of the Arathi blood line. As void elf and Blood elf are high elven blood.

[GazingTrandoshan]

Im hyped as hell, the art for the zones is hella crazy and these humans are cool asf

[BREAKocean]

LOTHAR was my hero in WC2. Such a badass
