Lore Watch Episode 55: Maiev’s magical mystery motives and more

Welcome to episode 55 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 our Lore Watchers Anne and Joe return to the mailbag to answer your questions. In between all the answers, the discussion jumps from Neptulon’s mysterious reappearance to Dwarven politics, plus a lengthy look at Maiev Shadowsong and the fallout from the novel Wolfheart. Is she a little off her rocker, or is she actually making all kinds of sense?
