Official Logo

***World of Warcraft: Mystic Knights of Azeroth*** is an American animated television series conceived and developed by Harry Vallet. It is produced by Titmouse, Inc. and Blizzard Entertainment. It stars the alumni of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s *School of Rock*, featuring Ethan Khusidman, Raghav Mehrotra, Brandon Niederauer, and Evie Dolan.

## Story

Ivar Octave, Angus Baryl, Rohan Arpegius, and Deirdre Stella are four average kids who seem to lead typical fun-filled lives as a popular teen rock group, known as *The Crescendolls*, but they share a big secret. Deep within their treehouse is the dimensional barrier that is connected between Earth, their world, and Azeroth, a magical dimension. With their magical equipment, spells and a portal that leads them to Azeroth, our human heroes travel there and magically transform into the Mystic Knights of Azeroth, a team of knights in shining armor who harness the power of four respective elements: water, earth, fire, and air. Guided on their missions by Aideen, their fairy helper, the Mystic Knights of Azeroth are in a constant battle to save Azeroth from the Horde, an evil organization of imperialistic barbaric orcs led by Gul'dan, who tries to overcome the barriers of the true reality to allow his armies easy passage from virtual world.

### Format

Each episode begins with the Mystic Knights of Azeroth (consisting of Ivar, Angus, Rohan, and Deirdre) discovering suspected man-made disaster on the news or on a weather report, such as wildfires, tsunamis, hurricanes, or earthquakes. Although their fairy helper, Aideen, comes around to inform our heroes that there is trouble in Azeroth, her homeworld, the quartet already know what is going on there, so they make a beeline to their treehouse to strategize their plan of action.

Aideen describes the difficulty in Azeroth that needs to be resolved, and then select a game server (or host) to send his or her party (i.e., the rest of the team) travel to the scene of the problem. There are four different continents that the Knights travel to solve problems: The Eastern Kingdoms in the east; Kalimdor in the west; Northrend in the north; and Pandaria in the south.

Eventually, the culprit behind these man-made disasters are revealed to be members of the Horde, or, on several occasions, their leader Gul'dan himself, so they then assist their Azerothian allies in battling the Horde by driving them away, thus putting an end to their Horde-made disasters both on Azeroth and Earth. Each episode ends with the Knights returning to Earth to perform a concert as their popular pop-rock alter ego, *The Crescendolls*, about what they have learned throughout the episode.

## Characters

### Ivar Octave

The ‘brain’ of the quartet, he is the group’s self-proclaimed leader, as well as the keyboardist, main singer, and manager of the band, *The Crescendolls*, as he owns a Fairlight CMI in the series. Aside to his bandmates, he is tidy by nature. Plus, he is obsessed with technology and constantly relies on it for solutions. He can also become disappointed when he can't be the Host in some quests (and guide his friends through Azeroth) since he's the one who studies up on it the most. As an Azeroth Knight of Water based on the Mage Class, he wields the Barbed Trident which shoots blue bolts of electricity.

### Angus Baryl

A small and overweight drummer of the band, *The Crescendolls*, representing the ‘beast’ of the quartet, as he owns a Pearl Export in the series. He usually enjoys eating, though he’s intimidating enough to have defended his friends from the Horde. He also has a disproportionate obsession with the environment and loves flowers, trees and birds. As an Azeroth Knight of Earth based on the Rouge Class, he wields the Twin Timber Axes which shoot a beam of energy.

### Rohan Arpegius

A tall and skinny goth representing the ‘brawn’ in the quartet and guitarist of the band, *The Crescendolls*, as he owns a Gibson Flying V in the series. Known for his aggressive, ready-to-fight behavior, he is somewhat brash and can get violent on anyone, even the Horde, who challenges his or his friends’ authority. For example, when he is the Host of some quests, he takes his job very seriously, to the point of occasionally letting his power go to his head. As an Azeroth Knight of Fire based on the Warrior Class, she wields the Sword of the Dragon, which can emit fire.

### Deirdre Stella

The only female of the group representing ‘beauty’, she is the bassist of the band, *The Crescendolls*, as she owns a Höfner 500/1 in the series. She is optimistic and creative, hence never afraid to face the Horde. Sometimes, she shows a strong interest in shopping. Physically, she can show sporty abilities even when she is not transformed, such as scoring higher than Rohan in Judo or demonstrating her synchronized swimming solo techniques during summer. As an Azeroth Knight of Air based on the Hunter Class, she wields the Whirlwind Crossbow, which shoots a burst of air.

### Aideen

A small, wisecracking fairy who is preferred to be clueless and oblivious mentor who lives in the band’s treehouse and occasionally acts as a guardian of the barrier between Earth and Azeroth. When there is trouble in Azeroth, she goes to find the band and always risks being seen and/or startles the heroes when she appears (and usually gets startled herself by their initial shock). She has a habit of running off when there is danger.
