Blizzard Entertainment
After the success of our cinematic short on Alleria Windrunner, Blizzard and the fans wanted to see more of the Windrunner Family. This project dives into the story of Arator, Alleria’s half-human, half-elf son, as he grapples with abandonment, identity, and destiny. Raised in the shadow of legendary parents he barely remembers, Arator’s journey is an exhilarating quest set against the awe-inspiring landscapes of the World of Warcraft universe.This fantasy cinematic short combines epic action, character-driven storytelling, and a deep respect for WoW lore. It’s a love letter to the fans and a new chapter in the history of Azeroth—a story that we had an absolute blast bringing to life.
