Khadgar

I actually think the story in that unfolds pretty well.

you get moments after the fights to gather together and figure out, okay, we now have to go and take all these different guys out, and you talk to Khadgar several times, and there's moments like, and bring me his skull, for reasons.

And you laugh, but at the same time, why does Khadgar want his skull back? So far, it's been proved not a good idea to let people have Golden Skull, man.

What are you doing, Khadgar? But at least it felt coherent.

Like, you didn't necessarily need to have done anything outside of the raid to understand it.

But the story contributed to it.

Yeah.

You partially succeed, and then you're like, oh, no.

Let's start with Medivh.

Let's start with Khadgar and then we'll go to Medivh.

Well, Khadgar right now in classic is hanging out in Outland.

So he is not there.

He could come back right now in the lore.

I'm going to say A. He's this rugged badass sticking to his morals and is willing to get excommunicated because of it.

He also gives really good quests.

Some of the chat's asking why is Varian below Khadgar? This tier list is pretty much...

Yeah.

But in the s- during the Second War, or after the Second War, however you wanna look at it, the Dark Portal starts opening again, and who goes through? Khadgar, Alleria, Turalyon, uh, Danath Trollba- Trollbane, Kurdran Wildhammer, like-

Yeah, and, and I wanna let everybody know s- uh, this is a spoiler alert right here for Chronicles Volume 2, so if you don't wanna hear this, skip maybe this minute.

Skip this 'cause, you know-

This is what the Warcraft movie covers.

Yeah.

Khadgar, Garona, and Anduin Lothar become central to uncovering the truth about Medivh while Stormwind fights for survival.

Mm-hmm.

Think of the violet towers of Dalaran, the archmages in their purple and gold, the portals and the floating stones, and the libraries full of spells.

Think of Antonidas, and Khadgar, and Jaina Proudmoore, and then go back far enough, nearly three thousand years before the orcs came through the dark portal, and you reach a moment when not a single human in the world knew how to cast a spell.

The humans of that age lived in the north of the eastern kingdoms, in scattered and quarrelsome tribes.

The strongest of them were the Arathi, and under their king, Thoradin, the tribes were united into a single nation, which took the name Arathor.

Medivh was a severe master, and the slightest mistake meant dismissal.

Most of them lasted a single day, the rest lasted less than a week.

The Kirin Tor chose a young man named Khadgar.

The Archmage Antonidas, already one of the dominant voices on the Council of Six, was among those who argued for him, and several of Khadgar's instructors saw a chance to learn things they could not learn any other way, and asked the boy to find out all sorts of details about the tower and its master while he was there.

He knew the difference between courage and waste.

He then went south with Khadgar, Turalyon, Illyria, and the dwarven griffon rider Curdron Wildhammer, all the way to capital city in Lordaeron, and he fought in its defense when the Horde laid siege to it.

Orgrim Doomhammer abandoned that siege quickly, once he learned of a great treachery by his chief warlock Gul'dan.

But the elves who fought there had shed their blood for the alliance, far from their own woods.

When the Burning Legion returned to Azeroth, the leaders of the Horde gathered in Grommash Hold, and they were invited to Dalaran for a war council with the Alliance.

Lor'themar was not eager to return to the city of the Purge.

Vol'jin shared his wariness, but he trusted Khadgar, and he decided the Horde would go.

The war began in disaster.

You have the Issacet as another thing that you can do.

And yes, there were some people who were doing it with Millhouse, and there were some people who were using Khadgar.

Khadgar is in core.

He's an older card.

And he's like a two minute tutu, I think, that says your cards let summon minions summon twice as many.

Yeah, one of them will be better than the other, and that's what we'll play.

But I think one of those decks should be doable.

I mean, there was a Khadgar Mage when Conjurer's Calling was in Standard, which is the card that Consular is calling as a throwback to.

Oh, that's cool, yeah"

... what's Medivh? What, uh, Medivh, Khadgar, who are these people?

Yeah, I, I do think that, that's one of the things that a lot of, uh, not just video games, but anything where, uh, media ha- like, has an outside tie-in.

Um, like, uh, go ahead and skip ahead 30 seconds if you don't wanna hear us talking about a certain transphobic TERF series piece of shit.
