Tales of Ironroth Volume 2 (Warcraft Audiodramas)
Project Overview
Hello everyone!
This is a Warcraft AU series I've been working on with a bunch of talented folks. I've made story-based machinima content on youtube for a few good years now, so I'm very excited to continue this project, which to date has released 2 animated episodes and 4 audiodramas. The TLDR of the plot is an Alternate Timeline where Garrosh Hellscream is victorious in the Siege of Ogrimmar.
As an AU project, it mostly contains existing Lore Characters (which you can find further info on wikis), who may only have a few lines, so all audition lines will consist of lines they have spoken ingame, or alternatively some "fake lines", and not ones in the script (to avoid spoilers). Be mindful some characters may be reoccuring while others having a single appearance, regardless of amount of lines in this specific episode, so please keep that in mind when auditioning.
Roles may be added over the duration of this page, and visuals added for characters as their models are finalized, feel free to add notifications to this page as I'll post an update when I add additional characters.
Thank you for reading my ramblings, feel free to ask me any questions through discord at Thompshire
(Note: The roles of Yenniku and Bwonsamdi are more urgent than the others, so they may be cast before the deadline)

There are children and elders here who lack the strength to defend themselves.
The Darkspear have faced hardships like this before and overcame them. This will be no different.
I don’t know if I agree with you, Rokhan. I am no warrior. I lack the same strength and willpower my father carried.

They call you a monster, but they’re the monsters, not you.
These are called tears. They come when we are so sad, so soul sick, it's as if our hearts are so full of pain there's no place else for it to go.

Yours is the title of warchief, Thrall, son of Durotan. You will wear my armor and carry my hammer.
I can crush your skull in an instant, and then where will your destiny lie? And do not think this abomination will save you.
I am glad Thrall has returned to wearing my armor after his years of inner strife. He has always struggled to balance the warrior and the shaman within himself, but it seems he has finally found a place of happiness.

The amount of time Aysa spends practicing seems excessive... but you can't deny the results. Her form is beautiful.
This day seems to be one full of hard decisions. Having the courage to make them is gravely important, for the sake of us all.

There is no greater joy than walking the world, writing your story. It is the wanderer's way.
But times have changed. Back then I helped Thrall, Vol'jin, Rexxar and Rokhan to lay the foundation for Orgrimmar. Today, I hardly recognize the place.
So much needless bloodshed. I just don't understand.
This will not be a role specifically assigned to one person, each Audiodrama generally has a unique narrator, so we'll use the auditions here as a pool to chose from!

The sun was beginning to set over the quiet shores of the Echo Isles. The beginning of a blood-red horizon was slowly forming as it illuminated upon the once crystal clear waters that surrounded the Isles. Once calm waters that brushed against the shore had been turned into a murky red void. An ominous sign to bring both man and beast unease as the events of the day begin to come to their final conclusion.
On this evening, they were soon joined by Prince Anduin who arrived with his own guards. For a moment, he didn't say anything. Just turned his eyes to the horizon as well before he quietly took his place among the Greymanes. Arms crossed, brows darkened, and nerves on edge. The only sound between them was the lapping of rough waves against the harbor, the distant call of workers, whistling winds from a coming storm, and the city behind them doing its best to continue on.
With the conclusion of another meeting with the House Of Nobles, Mathias would depart from Stormwind Keep and travel down its stone steps. It would not take him long to spot Keeshan leaned against a stone wall awaiting him. Arms crossed, Keeshan stared into the void with his eyes soon laying upon Mathias who made his way down the steps and towards him. Upon reaching him, Mathias would offer only a simple nod towards the Veteran of Bravo Company.
