Blizzard has started releasing the “Harbingers” cinematics for World of Warcraft: Legion. The first video reveals how Gul’dan became what he is today.
Gul’dan – Forsaken by the Elements, Chosen by the Legion
A while ago, Blizzard announced a small film series for the upcoming expansion World of Warcraft: Legion. The first episode of the series “Harbingers” – or in German “Vorboten” – has now been released, focusing on Gul’dan. The loner has taken refuge in a village, but he is not really welcome there. He cannot find his place among the other Orcs, which leads to repeated arguments and conflicts that eventually result in his banishment. The village shaman advises Gul’dan to seek out the Throne of the Elements, perhaps he would find his destiny there.
Broken and crippled, Gul’dan drags himself through the wasteland towards the throne. There he experiences the beauty and power of the elements, only to be rejected by them as well. Filled with rage and despair, he then hears other voices whispering to him through the cosmos: The demons of the Burning Legion.
You might want to check out the rest for yourself, as Blizzard has once again managed to pack a lot of storyline into a short time.
For the future, 4 more episodes of the “Harbingers” series are planned. These will also cover the backstories of Khadgar, Medivh, and Illidan, so that all players are informed about these protagonists of the expansion.
