Warcraft

Warcraft is a series of computer games, novels, and an announced movie. As the name implies, the Warcraft universe largely revolves around conflict.

Introduction

---

Old Man: We never paid any heed to the ancient prophecies...like fools we clung to the old hatreds...and fought as we had for generations. Until the day the sky rained fire, and a new enemy came upon us. We stand now, upon the brink of destruction, for the reign of chaos has come at last.

Arthas's Betrayal

Terenas: Ah, my son...
Arthas: You no longer need to sacrifice for your people. You no longer need to bear the weight of your crown. I've taken care of everything.
[Arthas approaches Terenas and draws his sword.]
Terenas: What is this? What are you doing, my son?
Arthas: Succeeding you, Father.
[Arthas impales Terenas; Terenas lets out a death rattle and his crown falls to the floor, broken and blood-stained.]
Arthas: This kingdom shall fall, and from the ashes shall arise a new immortal that will shake the very foundations of the world!

Thrall's Vision

Medivh: The sands of time have run out, son of Durotan. The cries of war echo on the winds. The remnants of the past scar the land, which is besieged once more by conflict. Heroes arise to challenge fate, and lead their brethren to battle. As mortal armies rush blindly towards their doom, the Burning Shadow comes to consume us all. You must rally the Horde and lead your people to their destiny! Seek me out.

The Destruction of Dalaran

Archimonde: (in the Eredar language) Azhir uval nutarus. Azhir mudas ethanul. Dalektharu il dask daku. Riftuuz e thara samanar utamus. Elas umanes azarathan rakas ibna. Belanora mordanos nenaar ila mornu farlos kada. ("Let this scar signify the first blow against the mortal world. From this seal shall arise the doom of men, who, in their arrogance, sought to wield our fire as their own. Blindly they build their kingdoms upon stolen knowledge and conceit. Now they shall be consumed by the very flame they sought to control.")

The Death of Hellscream

Mannoroth: Heh, heh, heh... So predictable. I knew you would come. And I see you've brought the mighty Hellscream. His blood is mine, as is your whole misbegotten race!
[Thrall shouts and hurls his hammer at Mannoroth. Mannoroth dodges.]
Mannoroth: A worthy effort, but futile.
[Mannoroth charges and knocks Thrall into the face of a cliff.]
Mannoroth: The boy believed you could be saved, but he didn't know what burns within your soul when in your heart, you know we are the same.
Grom Hellscream: Noooo!
[Grom attacks Mannoroth and buries his axe in his chest. Mannoroth explodes. Grom falls. Thrall approaches Grom with a limp. He falls to his knees.]
Grom Hellscream: Thrall... the blood haze has lifted. The demon's fire has burnt out in my veins. I have... freed myself.
[Grom coughs and breathes his final breath.]
Thrall: No, old friend. You've freed us all.
[Thrall cries out].

Eternity's End

Medivh: The roots will heal in time, as will the entire world. The sacrifices have been made. Just as the orcs, humans, and night elves stood united against a common foe, so did nature herself rise up to banish the shadow. As for me, I came back to ensure that there would be a future, to teach the world that it no longer needed guardians. The hope for future generations has always resided in mortal hands. And now that my task is done, I shall take my place amongst the legends of the past.

Dialogue

Uther: (his last words) I dearly hope that there's a special place in hell waiting for you, Arthas.

Arthas: We may never know, Uther. I intend to live forever.

---

Tyrande: I have not had the luxury of sleeping through thousands of years of turmoil.

Furion: If your eternal vigil has hardened you, my love, it must be part of your goddess' plan.

---

Archimonde: You are very brave to stand against me, little human. If only your countrymen had been as bold, I would have more fun scouring your wretched nations from the world!

Jaina: Is talking all you demons do?

[Jaina teleports away.]

Archimonde: STORMRAGE! Show yourself! Or do you intend to have mortal girls do all your fighting for you?

---

Archimonde: You orcs are weak and hardly worth the effort! I wonder why Mannoroth even bothered with you!

Thrall: Our spirit is stronger than you know, demon! If we are to fall, then so be it! At least now we are free!

[Thrall hurls a bolt of lightning at Archimonde before being teleported away.]

Archimonde: The wretched little whelp actually hurt me! Ha-ha-ha-ha... Are there none left to stand against the Legion? This is almost too easy! If I had known that this mortal resistance would be so weak, I would have launched this invasion centuries ago!

Individuals

[after Arthas's "purge" of Strathholme]

Medivh: It falls to you now, young sorceress. You must lead your people to the west to the ancient lands of Kalimdor. Only there can you combat the shadow and save this world from the flame.

---

Archimonde: Tremble mortals, and despair! Doom has come to this world!

---

Tyrande Whisperwind: Only the Goddess can forbid me anything, Furion!

---

Malfurion Stormrage: If pride gives us pause, my love, perhaps we have lived long enough. And remember, whatever comes, My Love, our bonding is eternal.

---

Malfurion Stormrage: To arms, my brethren! To arms, brave orcs and humans! Twilight falls, and the enemy awaits.

World of Warcraft

Four years have passed since the mortal races banded together and stood united against the might of the Burning Legion. Though Azeroth was saved, the tenuous pact between the Horde and the Alliance has all but evaporated. The drums of war thunder once again.

[Opening cinematic]]

Illidan Stormrage: Imprisoned for ten thousand years... banished from my own homeland... and now you dare enter my realm? You are not prepared...

[Cinematic showing a draenei paladin, Blood Elf priestess, orc warrior, troll priest, human mage, tauren druid, and Forsaken warlock in action. The camera soon comes back to Illidan, holding the Skull of Gul'dan, dropping it, and taking flight.]

Illidan: You are not prepared!

• His name brought light to darkest Azeroth.
  His valor tore the walls of mis'ry down.
  The Silver Hand would ne'er do better more
  than give the world the knight who'd give himself.
  His fame was not that which he sought to grow.
  Nor was the lordship over his own kind.
  Instead he chose to fight for Lordaeron
  to hope his kin would have to fight no more.
  The tragic tale of this most holy knight
  will never end with his unholy death.
  We honor him, and we shall give him thanks!
  Uther always shall know glory and light!
  • For the Light!, in-game book from the Harvest Festival.

• His name will not die.
  His sacrifice will always serve to show the way.
  Shackles once that choked the inhale of honor's breath no longer bind us.
  Can you hear his scream?
  A battle wail for the Horde: Victory or death!
  We must remember his strength in the face of death.
  His dream, reality.
  Dangers are abound.
  Enemies seek to bring us back to the shackles.
  When we fight, think of he who did what must be done.
  Grom Hellscream, forever!
  • The Horde's Hellscream, in-game book from the Harvest Festival.

• It's begun.
  Young heroes, I was once like you.
  You have come to this place seeking to bring judgement upon the damned.
  You will venture deep into forgotten lands.
  You will see wonders beyond imagining.
  But, be warned. The land itself will rise up against you.
  Long forgotten terrors will smother your courage.
  Sacrifice everything as the final darkness falls...
  In the end, all that awaits you is death.
  Only then will you understand,
  you've been following in my footsteps all along.
  So come then, you heroes! Come in all your power and glory!
  For in the final hour, all must serve the one... true... king...
  • The Lich King, Wrath of the Lich King trailer

• My son...the day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name...Arthas.
  My child...I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon...of righteousness.
  Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength,
  and I know you will show restraint in exercising your great power.
  But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people.
  I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end...you shall be King.
