Lore Watch Episode 33: Illidan, Helheim, Azeroth’s afterlife and more

Welcome to episode 33 of Lore Watch! Lore Watch is a podcast that explores a single lore subject about the World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, or any other games that interest us. Join hosts Anne Stickney, Matthew Rossi, and Joe Perez for an in-depth look at the evolving stories of the games we all love.

This week Anne, Matt and Joe answer your Legion questions! We discuss just what’s really going on with Illidan Stormrage, the origins and purpose of both Helheim and the Halls of Valor, and dive right in to the Emerald Nightmare and implications from the end of the raid. Speaking of Illidan, there are references to the novel Illidan by William King — you can pick that up on Amazon. Or hey, if you prefer listening to your books over reading them, you can get a free audiobook download by signing up for a free 30-day trial with Audible, where Illidan and a variety of Blizzard’s other titles are available to enjoy.
