The thing no one tells you about sitting on a Frozen Throne, is how much of your flesh ends up stuck to it.

Arthas Menethil in Heroes of the Storm

The most important thing I've learned in all my journeys is... balance. Work and play. Good and bad. Right and wrong. Honor. Tradition. A good brew. And most especially... family. These are things that bring me balance. These are the things I fight for.

Chen Stormstout in Heroes of the Storm

Does anyone know when these spikes grew out of my back? You would think I would remember something like that.

Gul'dan in Heroes of the Storm

Those with power must wield it without fear. And if that power allows you to cast fear upon others, well that's a nice bonus.

Gul'dan in Heroes of the Storm

I once was the head of a secretive council that controlled the Orcish Horde from the shadows. I called it... the Shadow Council. Shut up, naming things is hard!

Just to be clear, all the loot we get from this is mine. I need it. For, uhm... hunter reasons.

Rexxar in Heroes of the Storm

By the way, every time you've ever been beaten by a hunter... That was actually me.

Rexxar in Heroes of the Storm

Some believe hunting with a bow to be the ultimate challenge. They should try it with an axe.

Rexxar in Heroes of the Storm

Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian, is a unique and powerful artifact passed down from Guardian to apprentice for generations. Pay no attention to that druid holding another one. Or that priest. Or Khadgar. In fact, never pay attention to Khadgar.

Medivh in Heroes of the Storm

Khadgar

The spell is called "polymorph" because with a little practice, you can technically transform someone into any animal. Most mages are simply too sheepish to give it a try.

Medivh in Heroes of the Storm

No, you don't need to stay awhile and listen. You must have me confused with someone else.

Medivh in Heroes of the Storm

Most people don't realize that Illidan and I were actually triplets. Poor Buenofurion.

You know what they say about men with large antlers... they have a hard time wearing hats.

Night elves are the right elves.

Malfurion Stormrage in Heroes of the Storm

Well, this is a thorny situation. Get it? Thorny? It's because I'm a druid! I am humorous.

Goddess make me fast and accurate, let my aim be true, and if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die with an empty quiver.

Tyrande Whisperwind in Heroes of the Storm

What the...- how long have these leaves been in my hair? Why does no one tell me these things?

Has anyone seen my cat? It feels like it's been years since I've seen her.

Tyrande Whisperwind in Heroes of the Storm

I am celebrating my 29th birthday next week... for the 10,000th time.

Tyrande Whisperwind in Heroes of the Storm

Ah, I miss real-time strategy. The isometric perspective, the epic large-scale battles! Can't say I miss all this poking though.

Thrall in Heroes of the Storm

Take your Warchief's advice: Don't run around doing stupid things just because someone yells "For the Horde!"

Thrall in Heroes of the Storm

I am a lean, green, fighting machine.

Thrall in Heroes of the Storm

If you're holding on for a Frozen reference, just let it go. Oh no, what have I done?

Jaina Proudmoore in Heroes of the Storm

I'm sorry, what? Thrall and me!? Ugh, who keeps spreading that filthy rumor. Besides, everyone knows I prefer blue over green.

Jaina Proudmoore in Heroes of the Storm

Thrall

I wonder why they call it "polymorph" when it always turns enemies into one thing. They should have called it something like "monomorph" or "that-spell-that-turns-people-into-sheep".

Jaina Proudmoore in Heroes of the Storm

Wait, is that a white hair? I hope that's not a bad sign.

Jaina Proudmoore in Heroes of the Storm

Oh, I just thought of the perfect joke to tell Anduin! What do you call a gnoll that won't share his forest? A Hogger! Oh, he's going to love it!

Varian Wrynn in Heroes of the Storm

All I ever wanted to do was study. Of course, then a giant demon smashed my home apart so that kind of put an end to that.

Jaina Proudmoore in Heroes of the Storm

Are you still clicking? Was that not enough jokes? Are you not entertained!?! Sorry, uh... sometimes my gladiator past gets the best of me.

Varian Wrynn in Heroes of the Storm

Anduin got me to play Hearthstone once... it was a bit "fantastic" for my tastes. What kind of game allows Garrosh to order me around? It's absurd!

Varian Wrynn in Heroes of the Storm

Hearthstone

A king is only as noble as the cause he serves.

Anduin Wrynn in Heroes of the Storm

My father once said that everywhere the Light touches is our kingdom... but not Deadwind Pass. We don't go there.

Hmm? Oh, actually, I am still wearing the helmet. It's just transmogrified to hidden.

Anduin Wrynn in Heroes of the Storm

By the way, a little bronze dragon told me about what you blood elves planned to do to my grave. I'm not thrilled about it.

Alarak: "Make no mistake, I intend to neither stay nor listen."
Deckard Cain: "Alas, that we have lived to see such times."

Of course Chromie arrived in the Nexus before me. Bronze dragons have to be first at everything. And last. And everything in between.

You have no idea how hard it is to find jewelry that magically changes size.

Alexstrasza in Heroes of the Storm

I'll let you in on a secret. Ruby dragons don't actually use Hearthstones. We just click our talons together a few times and we're home.

Alexstrasza in Heroes of the Storm

My brood has told me I can be a real queen sometimes, but it's a mother's right to be at least a little... draconian.

Alexstrasza in Heroes of the Storm

In the end, those who serve death are always consumed by it.

Let the righteous know peace, and the injust know the back of my hand.

Uther Lightbringer in Heroes of the Storm

You're telling me Khadgar flew in as a raven and transformed in front of the king to deliver a dire warning? That's my boy... - or he was, until I turned him into an old man, that is.

Medivh in Heroes of the Storm

Khadgar

I don't see why everyone is so distrusting of this "Raven Lord". He seems a perfectly fine fellow to me. Of course, birds of a feather do flock together.

Medivh in Heroes of the Storm

People keep saying they're outraged at another infamous black dragon for burning an entire city full of innocent people to ash. One city. Amateur.

Alright, I'm ready. All I need is someone to point me to the piñata.

Illidan Stormrage in Heroes of the Storm

You know, for 10,000 years old, Tyrande still looks pretty good... at least that's what they tell me.

Illidan Stormrage in Heroes of the Storm

Tyrande Whisperwind

Wait, what? What do you mean, there's lore in this game? You guys actually paid someone to write a story about Raynor meeting Diablo? Isn't this precisely what fan fiction is for?! I didn't approve any of this!

Thrall in Heroes of the Storm

Diablo

In pandaren board games, the goal is for both players to win. In Hearthstone, the goal is for me to beat you to death... with your own minions.

Anduin Wrynn in Heroes of the Storm

Hearthstone

A lot of people don't realize how difficult and awkward it is to grow up in the spotlight. Your every success, and every failure laid bare in front of the entire world... of Warcraft.

Varian Wrynn in Heroes of the Storm

Back then "daemon" had an "a" in it. Like I intended! It looks more mystical that way.

Gul'dan in Heroes of the Storm

I thought I was the only one who'd been murdered by a cruel man, raised as a powerful but horrible abomination, subsequently crowned myself queen, and dedicated my subjects to orchestrating my vengeance. But then I met Kerrigan!

Sylvanas Windrunner in Heroes of the Storm

No, I'm not going to sing for you. I'm a heartless undead ruler, not a music box.

Sylvanas Windrunner in Heroes of the Storm

At the tone, the time will be the hour of twilight! Eastern Kingdoms standard time.

Deathwing in Heroes of the Storm

It's "Lich King", not "Lick King"... the two are very, very different jobs!

Arthas Menethil in Heroes of the Storm

I keep killing, but no loot comes out. This game makes no sense.

Barbarian in Heroes of the Storm

I swear, the next person who names me Barbie on Battle.net, gets an axe to the forehead.

Barbarian in Heroes of the Storm

Barbie

No man can defeat me! Although, ten to twenty-five might do the trick.

Arthas Menethil in Heroes of the Storm

If you think I'm powerful now, you should see my abilities in Heroic mode!

Arthas Menethil in Heroes of the Storm

They say a man never really knows himself until his freedom's been taken away. I wonder - how well do you know yourself?

Arthas: "I see... only darkness before me."

Arthas Menethil in World of Warcraft - Wrath of the Lich King

Arthas Menethil in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Terenas Menethil

Arthas: "Our salvation... Frostmourne!"
Muradin: "Hold, lad. There's an inscription on the dais. It's a warning. It says: 'Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit.' I should've known. The blade is cursed!"
Arthas: "I would gladly bear any curse to save my homeland."

Excellent work. The fire of my heart glows with a brilliant purity unmatched; every spark of it I will channel into the Dragon Soul.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Battle for Azeroth

Anduin Wrynn

It is perilous to confuse what you are made to do with what you choose to do.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

Not a Banshee Queen... Not a Ranger-General... But always a Windrunner.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

Anduin: "I will not become an instrument of death."
Sylvanas: "So you favour life, is that it? That momentary flicker, every cruel second spent delaying the inevitable in an endless war that you, like every Wrynn before you, will not survive."

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

Icecrown... a monument to our suffering. The veil between life and death. Where a usurper sits on a Frozen Throne. But no king rules forever.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

Ours is a cycle of hatred. Alliances forged and broken. We have paid the price for sharing this world, and we have forgotten what makes us strong.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Battle for Azeroth

I understand the cruelty of fate better than anyone.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Battle for Azeroth

Stand proud in the Horde. Know that all of you were so much more than arrows in my quiver.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Dragonflight

No crown. No throne. Not even a soul left for judgement. I hated you, hunted you, and with each selfish act... became you. That is my burden to bear. But your legacy is at an end. Begone, then, Arthas Menethil. May the last whisper of your name fade and be forgotten.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

Arthas Menethil

Arthas. I died trying to stop that monster, only to wake up haunted by one with my face.

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

Sylvanas: "Join us willingly or be made to serve!"
Anduin: "I thought you believed in free will, Sylvanas."

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

Vol'jin: "Death will claim me soon."
Sylvanas: "In the end, death claims us all. But the Horde will live on."

Sylvanas Windrunner in World of Warcraft - Legion

We are no longer part of the Scourge. From here on out, we shall be known as the Forsaken. We will find our own path in this world, and slaughter anyone who stands in our way.

Sylvanas Windrunner in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

Sylvanas: "The humans are simply a means to an end."
Varimathras: "You sound more like one of us with every passing day, my lady."
Sylvanas: "Watch it, dreadlord!"

Sylvanas Windrunner in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

Arthas: "Finish me, then."
Sylvanas: "A quick death, like to one you gave me? No. You're going to suffer as I did."

Sylvanas Windrunner in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

Arthas Menethil

Sylvanas: "Finish it! I deserve a clean death."
Arthas: "After all you've put me through, woman, the last thing I'll give you is the peace of death."
Sylvanas: "No... you wouldn't dare!"

Sylvanas Windrunner in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Sylvanas was turned into the Banshee Queen by Arthas, but he probably should have just killed her because it just pissed her off.

Sylvanas Windrunner in Hearthstone

Imprisoned for ten thousand years. Banished from my own homeland. And now, you dare enter my realm. You are not prepared!

Illidan Stormrage in World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade

You have spent a lifetime fighting for the dream of what Azeroth could be. Now, you must fight for what it is.

Illidan Stormrage in World of Warcraft - Legion

The hunter is nothing without the hunt.

Illidan Stormrage in World of Warcraft - Legion

Hunting

It was power I sought... but not to conquer or rule. It was a means to an end, to save Azeroth from an unstoppable foe.

Illidan Stormrage in World of Warcraft - Legion

Betrayer... in truth, it was I who was betrayed. Still, I am hunted. Still, I am hated. Now, my blind eyes see what others cannot. And sometimes the hand of fate must be forced.

Illidan Stormrage in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

The light is holding you back. It's time to forge your own path.

Illidan Stormrage in World of Warcraft - Legion

At those times when I faced doubt, I held true to one constant. One anchor. You. You have always embodied the best of Azeroth, Tyrande.

Illidan Stormrage in World of Warcraft - Legion

Tyrande, it is your voice. After all these ages spent in darkness, your voice is like the pure light of the moon upon my mind.

The road ahead will be long. Whatever comes, bring honor to the name... Stormrage.

Within these groves, and by the light of Elune, I found something I feared lost. Hope.

Tyrande Whisperwind in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

Only the goddess may forbid me anything.

Tyrande Whisperwind in Warcraft III

The moonlight can bring rest to your weary souls in this forgotten place.

Tyrande Whisperwind in World of Warcraft

The darkness surrounds you, the light of Elune is your only salvation.

Tyrande Whisperwind in World of Warcraft

There is nothing left for you here, nothing but death and sorrow.

Tyrande Whisperwind in World of Warcraft

If pride gives us pause, my love, then perhaps we have lived long enough already.

Malfurion Stormrage in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Pride

Standing in the way of nature is heresy. Even when nature's force is a destructive one.

Malfurion Stormrage in World of Warcraft - Cataclysm

I smell the stench of decay and corruption in our land. That angers me greatly!

Malfurion Stormrage in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Devos: "Remember what he did and take your vengeance."
Uther: "Not vengeance.... justice!"

Uther Lightbringer in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

We cannot change the past, and we may never find forgiveness in the future, but inaction damns us all.

Uther Lightbringer in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

When Arthas struck me down, Frostmourne shattered my soul. But it was not divided into one part that was noble and another that was cruel.
Rather, it was as if a portion of my consciousness remained frozen in time while the rest of my soul carried on.

Uther Lightbringer in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

We are paladins. Vengeance cannot be a part of what we must do.

Uther Lightbringer in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Uther: "I'm pleased that King Terenas sent you to help me."
Arthas: "Father still hopes your patience and experience might rub off on me."
Uther: "It is a father's right to dream, isn't it?"

Uther Lightbringer in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Arthas Menethil Terenas Menethil

I only hope my friends will remember me as I was. Not what you made me to be.

Anduin Wrynn in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

I have no Light. Not after what I've seen. Not after what I've done.

Anduin Wrynn in World of Warcraft - The War Within

If I've no trust in myself, how can I expect my kingdom to trust me? To put their faith in me... when mine has faltered.

Anduin Wrynn in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

When this war began, I thought we were fighting for peace. But we're just fighting.

Anduin Wrynn in World of Warcraft - Battle for Azeroth

Fighting

Varok: "We could not fill the chasm between the Horde and Alliance if we labored a thousand years. You know this."
Anduin: "Then what are we fighting for?"

Anduin Wrynn in World of Warcraft - Battle for Azeroth

No one, not even a king, is more important than the Alliance.

Anduin Wrynn in World of Warcraft - Legion

Once before, you and I stood side by side on the slopes of Mount Hyjal. That World Tree did not fall because the Horde and the Alliance worked together.

Jaina Proudmoore in World of Warcraft - Battle for Azeroth

Always remember that power is a double-edged blade. One side light, the other dark. It calls to you when you are most desperate. When victory seems worth any sacrifice. There is a price to be paid for such a gift. And many eagerly accept the bargain. The righteous and the meek may recoil at its cost... But they have no vision! Power alone is not to be feared. Fear instead those who wield it!

Jaina Proudmoore in Hearthstone - Knights of the Frozen Throne

Power

The Horde is no longer our enemy. The orcs have their own kingdom now.

Jaina Proudmoore in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

Destiny is at hand, young sorceress. The time to choose has come. For the fate of all who live, humanity must join forces with the Horde.

Medivh in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

If you think the party's great now, just wait 'til he invites the orcs over!

Medivh in Hearthstone - One Night in Karazhan

The Kirin Tor will tell you that mastering the magical arts is like learning the rules of a game. Fools. True power is taken by those brave enough to break boundaries. I am Medivh, the Last Guardian. If magic is a game, then it is one I play to win.

Medivh in Hearthstone

I exist to protect this realm, my Lord, it is my very purpose. I am the Guardian.

Medivh in Warcraft: The Beginning

Anduin Lothar: "Guardian, what is the Fel?"
Medivh: "A magic unlike any other. It feeds on life itself. It polutes the user, twisting everything it touches. It promises great power, but it exacts a terrible price."

Medivh in Warcraft: The Beginning

Now go, young Thrall. Sail west to the lands of Kalimdor. It is there that you will find your destiny. It is there that your people's salvation will be assured.

Medivh in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Thrall

Human? I left my humanity behind long ago.

Medivh in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

The former can advise the latter, but the latter must be free to challenge the former, to avoid what happened.

Medivh in Warcraft III

The roots will heal in time... as will the entire world. The sacrifices have been made. Just as the orcs, humans, and night elves discarded their old hatreds and stood united against a common foe, so did nature herself rise up to banish the Shadow forever. 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 will take my place amongst the legends of the past.

Medivh in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Sylvanas: "Isn't it obvious, Warchief? I serve the Horde."
Garrosh: "Watch your clever mouth, b*tch!"

Garrosh Hellscream in World of Warcraft - Cataclysm

Sylvanas Windrunner

All who challenge me will burn in the fires of my hatred!

Garrosh Hellscream in World of Warcraft - Mists of Pandaria

Pain. Agony. My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage. But at last the whole of Azeroth will break and all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings!

Deathwing in World of Warcraft - Cataclysm

Once a noble dragon known as Neltharion, Deathwing lost his mind and shattered Azeroth before finally being defeated. Daddy issues?

Deathwing in Hearthstone

Varian: "My son. This blade does not belong to darkness. It was forged by valor."
Varok: "And also by honor."
Varian: "Its legacy, and ours, are with you."

Varian Wrynn in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

I am willing to end this bloodshed. But know this, if your Horde fails to uphold honor, as Garrosh did, we will end you!

Varian Wrynn in World of Warcraft - Mists of Pandaria

My son, a terrible darkness has returned to our world. As before, it seeks to annihilate everything that we hold dear. I go to face it, knowing I may not return. All my life I have lived by the sword. I've seen kingdoms burn, and watched brave heroes die in vain. It's been difficult for me to trust after losing so much. But from you I have learned patience, tolerance, and faith. Anduin, I now believe as you do, that peace is the noblest aspiration. But to preserve it, you must be willing to fight!

Varian Wrynn in World of Warcraft - Legion

Leader of the Alliance! Father of Anduin! Also he likes to play Arena, and he averages 12 wins.

Varian Wrynn in Hearthstone - The Grand Tournament

Let them come. They'll find the Horde to be more than they bargained for!

Thrall in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I do not know.' The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything. And I have prided myself on my ability to learn.

Thrall in Warcraft III - Cycle of Hatred

Learning

Something, someone, is calling out from the heart of the world. Like a voice from a dream. Something dark is coming, Anduin. The world needs your Light again.

Thrall in World of Warcraft - The War Within

Anduin Wrynn

You needed time. We stayed away. But time by itself heals nothing.

Thrall in World of Warcraft - The War Within

Anduin Wrynn

A crossbow? I prefer to strike my enemies face to face.

Thrall in World of Warcraft - Shadowlands

I do not rely on strength alone, Garrosh, my power is all around you.

Thrall in World of Warcraft - Warlords of Draenor

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

Thrall in Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos

Look around you, this world is dying. I can't have limits!

Thrall in World of Warcraft - Cataclysm

Blood and thunder, champions of the Horde! We fight on this day for our fallen brothers and sisters! Mourn them not for they all died with honor in their hearts! Though we face great conflict, our might combined shall obliterate those who would oppose us! The grave injustices committed against the Horde will be met by an unstoppable force of reckoning!

Thrall in World of Warcraft

War Speeches

This is a new dawn, the time of the Horde. Be feared or be fuel!

Gul'dan in Warcraft: The Beginning

You have allowed the small-teeth to kill your warriors. The Horde has no use for weakness!

Gul'dan in Warcraft: The Beginning

You will be remembered as the king who sacrificed his life for nothing.

Gul'dan in World of Warcraft - Legion

Still you refuse to bend your knee? None can escape death, you old fool. And in death… all will serve me.

Gul'dan in Hearthstone - Knights of the Frozen Throne

Warriors - the hour of victory has arrived. Come, you tauren! Rise up, you ogres! Today, you stand united with the Horde. Lok-Tar Ogar!

Rexxar in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

War Speeches

I have watched the other races. I have seen their squabbling, their ruthlessness. Their wars do nothing but scar the land and drive the wild things to extinction.

Rexxar in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

To ask why we fight is to ask why leaves fall - it is in their nature. Perhaps there is a better question: Why do we fight? To protect home and family, to preserve balance and bring harmony. For my kind the true question is: What is worth fighting for?
