Lords of War Part Five – Maraad

Vindicator Maraad battled the demonic orcs of the first Horde. He witnessed the slaughter of his people in Shattrath. It was the draenei’s darkest day, and Maraad’s greatest test . . . and the memory of his actions have haunted him ever since.

Take your place on the front lines of the battle for Draenor 11.13.14.

Foolish Exarch. Sends a Retribution Paladin to do a Protection Paladin's job.

"Remember, Arthas, we are paladins. Vengeance cannot be a part of what we must do. If we allow our passions to turn to bloodlust, then we will become as vile as the Orcs." -Uther the Lightbringer

[Servellion]

King Wrynn: Summon our champions!

Maraad:

King Wrynn:

Maraad: Oh right. *giant yellow exclamation point appears above his head*

King Wrynn: and now we wait.

[raziel]

Maraad: "You now know their leaders!"
Blackhand & Ner'zhul: "Am i a joke to you?"

[Oathkeeper]

When Maraad said "I will be the first to answer the call" I could HEAR his voice breaking, that made my heart ache.

[BowserisOK]

I'm a Horde for life, but goddamn I feel sorry for Maraad. I almost feel like I want to play as a Draenei Paladin just because of him inspiring me. Good job Blizzard.

[gabrielaarons]

Maraad: "And then i saw....him!"
Varian: "Who?"



Maraad: "Some random level 30 orc."

[jeremyjones]

I legit teared up during Maraad's performance. "And the light... that I promised... would be with them... had forsaken them instead... just as I had." Gripping stuff. You can really feel the heartbreak in his voice, as the actor delivers those lines.

[empjorium]

Blizzard can make a whole movie in this kind of animation. I would definitely watch it.

[briancrocker]

Is it wrong that, even though I've never played WoW at all, I love the lore?  

[BellularGaming]

So glad to see his story. Knowing all this REALLY adds a lot to his characterization in WoD :D

[tamaribond]

Maraad: When you look at me...what do you see?
Varian: A...squid...goat creature in shiny armor.

[MisterKnosen]

I really like how Maraad is portrayed here. Not a paragon, not a shining symbol of hope, but as a mere mortal being. One who falls prey to his own emotions. Makes him seem that much more alive.

[cindyanne]

I still can't get over that poor girl and her stuffed pink Talbuk toy.  I lost it right then, I tell you.  :(

[FireLordJohn]

This is the heartbreaker. This one and Durotan's.

[NineTailedGamer]

That was the best one.
Also, when I saw "Maraad" I was shocked. A good shock, because we finally get lore for the guy, but still a shock.

[trevorbaugh]

If there's one thing I could change about the expansion it would be Maraad's death. I love his character so much, possibly more than any other character in the expansion. I still have to fight back manly tears for my departed comrade when I re-watch this video. GOD DAMMIT BLIZZARD I WANT MARAAD BACK

[bagobones]

R.I.P Maraad. For the light. In the light, we are one... (Crys)

[spacebotanist]

*Dinner burned my gut.*
"Brb need to use the bathroom. Will come back when I can."
"But we'll have fewer heals."
"The boss is easy. The heals will be with you, I gtg."
*I came back and found my guildies. My heart fell. The boss, was not easy. The heals, that I had promised would be with them, had forsaken them instead. Just as I had.*

And that's why you don't eat mexican food a few hours before raid night, kiddos.

[Veloziraptor]

The moment you realize that both of these people talking are now dead ;-; RIP, heroes of the Alliance.
