Lords of War Part Five - Maraad

Watch the tale of draenei champion Vindicator Maraad, and then catch the entire series to learn about some of the other major players in the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Warlords of Draenor.

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.


Once you’re caught up on Maraad’s tale, visit his character page to read more about this draenei warrior of the Light and his role in the events to come.

Before you can harbor any hope of defeating the Iron Horde, you must first understand what—and whom—you’re up against. Visit our Lords of War page to watch all five episodes and witness the stories of Draenor’s mightiest leaders.

    Good to see some alliance lore to silence the complainers. Great series overall!

    Poor Maraad. For once, I think I'm actually interested in the Alliance side of the expansion.

    Nice as usual, loved this series, I wish they would do more of this.

    Im an horde player and an Orc player but I always liked the Draenei and Maraad was my favourite Draenei and probably the most notable after Akama/Velen along with Nobundo, its so shitty that ends up dying when the Dranei have no big figures right now, maybe Yrel comes to this Azeroth at the end of WOD.

    Maraad makes me proud to be a draenei paladin myself.

    That was unexpected! I thought it will be about Ner'zhul or Blackhand. For the Alliance!

    So what about Ner'zhul, Gul'dan and Blackhand ?

    Loved it. Gave more character to the Draenei, something which we'd been lacking for a long time.

    Don't get too excited, one Alliance-oriented tale does not an Alliance-interesting expansion make.

    Such alliance centered expansion....
    Gonna unsub and come back again when the horde is revelant again



    Cool video and one worth of finishing this series!
    Hope we can see more of this kind of work on the later patches =)

    and this is why, if i play, i'll be sooo so so so sooooooo tempted to make my paladin a draenei. so much more invested in this fight than any other race except maybe the orcs. the draenei don't want to see their home destroyed again, and the orcs don't want to see their selves become this again.

    im very confused. So, since the orcs did not become corrupted by drinking whatever that green goop was im guessing the blood of legions mammoroth or whatever; does this mean everything in story line from BC change till present?

    So having seen what the Orcs wrought upon his people in our timeline, he now wants to fight alongside them in WoD's. The Siege of Orgrimmar, among other things, has done a very good job of showing us that with or without demon blood, and with rare exceptions, the Orcs will never change.

    He dies in a quest regardless, so it's of little relevance regardless.

    Well, it certainly explains why he sacrifices himself to save Yrel. He feels he failed to protect the draenei and is willing to give his life to save them this time.

    I have a feeling that if the orcs keep themselves from becoming like that again then the humans will be the evil ones in their timeline. I think that Sargeras is within Medivh at this time, correct? Corrupt the humans to conquer foreign lands, maybe? We may destroy the Dark Portal on this side, but surely Medivh's portal was at least being built at this time as well, right? What will become of that?

    (I apologize for the crackpot theories. I'm just typing this as I think of them.)

    That, plus the fact that he has a crush on her :P
