If you can't wait for
Warlords of Draenor, this machinima from
Nixxiom may be the next best thing. It takes inspiration from some of the amazing scenes and settings we find in Draenor to
tell the story of a young orc -- but not just
any young orc -- being brought before the shaman of his tribe. And though this isn't an in-game event or cutscene, it fits so neatly into the experience of
Frostfire Ridge that it feels like it could be a flashback.
Honestly, I'd pit this against the official cinematic: though the animation isn't nearly as slick, it packs a great emotional punch... and it focuses on the
good things about
World of Warcraft rather than the start of yet another war.
