Added 2015-09-28 07:07:51 +0000 UTCThis week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe do some out of the box thinking about the Titans, Old Gods, Burning Legion and more as they delve into the weighty topic of order vs. chaos in the Warcraft cosmos. As Patreons we're happy to deliver you the episode a week before everyone else, enjoy it right over here on SoundCloud!

Yogg-Saron underlies Northrend. Y'Shaarj was under Panderia. C'Thun is in S. Kalimdor. N'Zoth may be under the central Ocean. Is it possible that the continents that survived after the Sundering did so because of the presence of the Old Gods (or maybe the magics that imprisoned some of them) holding the land together? Could that be the reason behind the sort of hexagonal arrangement of the continents (or the 5- [now 6-]pointed star of Anne's earlier maps)? Azaroth (Azathoth) under S. Eastern Kingdoms. Nyarlathotep and Hastur under N. Kalimdor and Lordaeron.

2015-10-01 11:48:18 +0000 UTCI second this request when we get closer to Legion's release and know all the artifacts we'll we wielding. I too won't know all of them, I'm sure.

2015-10-01 11:46:34 +0000 UTCHey Alex and the crew. Was listening to this episode and it got me thinking when Anne mentioned priests and the Light vs Shadow. I don't know if this is the right place or the normal podcast, but with the new class halls coming as a shadow priest I don't know all that much about our own lore. I feel like all the other classes have multiple Heroes they can all claim as their own, but priests feel awfully light on champions, especially shadow priests. Who are our heroes? I know how the Mage schools, warlock versions or shamans have their multi specs, but where did shadow come from? If we are the bane mod the light worshipping priests, how are we to get along in a single class hall? I just wish there was more canonical history to shadow priests. I might be rambling and I apologize for that.

2015-09-30 02:40:02 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this one :) Is there any chance we could get a know your lore or podcast on lesser known artifact weapons? I feel like I might be missing something come legion because I have no idea what these weapons are, and no great source for finding out.

2015-09-28 18:25:39 +0000 UTCThe game hints so much at the "grey areas" in the little things, but on a grand scale, it always falls into the Fantasy tropes: Legion/Old Gods evil, Titans good.
