You know what's really weird? Blizzard just abandoning the Starcraft universe almost completely.

The Dark Templar books nicely expand upon Adun's legacy. While the Dark Templar were boarding the ship, a number of Khalai tried to finish them off there and then. Adun, just like Tassadar would do later, combined the power of Khalai and Void to shield the ship until it escaped.

So the Khalai believe he protected them from further chaos caused by the Nerazim, while the Nerazim revere him for saving them from extinction.

"Adun toridas" means "Adun hide you".

Plot Twist: The Protoss never lost any of the old documents during the war, they were just so busy killing each other, they never bothered to look

Some part of lore said that the Conclave didn't exactly let the would-be Nerazim go, but rather Adun tried to save them by having them use the Xel'Naga ship to escape. It was that day the first recorded use of both psionic and void energy would be seen as Adun's body turned into a blinding burst of light from the use of the two energies and disappeared (likely disintegrated by it), giving the Nerazim time to depart. Of course the second time this happened was when Tassadar channeled the two power throughout his ship to destroy the Overmind.

It's crazy how blizzard came up with a cool interesting story but destroyed it in such a short amount of time

The Terrans may be my favorite faction (not that I'm biased) but your representation of Protoss history is the most imaginative and awesome to look at video you've made yet.

The Protoss are pretty much my favorite alien species.

I have seen the 3 videos in a succession and I happen to notice that there are many discrepancies with SC2's lore, however I think that many of these changes should have been keeped and expanded upon instead of replaced.

I have seen a lot of people compare the Protoss to the Tau and the Eldar, but being an advanced religious race reminds me more of the Minbari from Babylon 5. We have a similar arrangement with a caste of religious leaders, a caste of warriors, and a caste of warriors, right down to the worker caste getting the least attention to the point you didn't even realize it existed until Starcraft 2.

In any case, we need more Starcraft lore videos like this, it's lore deserves more respect and the Protoss don't deserve to be viewed as discount Eldar.

Awesome video dude! Loved the WoW ambience-like approach (and the cameos of Warcraft races)

Really interesting video that was well made. I hope you gain more subscribers.

The Protoss are a bunch of cape wearing psionic warriors that fought each other until Artanis united the tribes.

Tassadar is such a cool character.

Fun fact, Protoss litteraly means "first" in Greek!

I missed this?!? Oh wow, I'm sad now.
Exceptional work as always! Can't wait to see where you go next.

Remember when game stories were like this and contained only game relevant stuff? Yeah, I do. It was great.

Loved the probe with the murdocs, great touch.

This is truly awesome, you spend a lot of time searching for this information and even animating it! This is great, i have an idea for a future episode. You did great with the - History of the Protoss, History of the Zerg and the Terran. But think about these. Ever wondering why are there super strains like the Hydralisk(Hunter killer), zerling(Devouring One), Ultralisk(Torrasque), i`ve aways been fascinated how did they evolve to that state. Which "BROOD" did it, what's the connection of the broods with them. What are the broods in general. This topic is gonna be awesome to know. Same with the Protoss. The Dark Templar lore, how did they evolve to such assasinators and so on :)

Hey dude this was super well made- dope. Thanks for taking the time, keep it up- you’ll be a lynchpin in the community one day

Commenting for boosting positive algorithim clout!
I knew Protoss was an ancient and well-founded race, but your breakdown of the Age of Strife was super informative and gave me new insights on precursor civilizations. Awesome work!
