Lore Watch Podcast: Just a few of the breadcrumbs leading us to Midnight

Lore Watch this week explores three questions sent in by our listeners, all ending in answers we may see as we go forward into Midnight. First, they talk about the different types of magic — specifically that Warlock magic stems from the Titans — and why that knowledge didn’t knock the socks clean off the Kirin Tor. Or maybe Xal’atath literally knocking those socks off also knocked some sense into them, and that’s where we’ll see them in Midnight. Then, we turn to the cry of Azeroth we saw in the teaser trailer for The War Within — where did Anduin and Thrall go, by the way? Did everyone really hear the cries of Azeroth, or was that something else? Finally, on a scale from one to ten, just how elfy an expansion is Midnight going to be? Because we suspect pretty elfy (and when we say “pretty elfy” we’re not just talking about Kael’thas).

As always, the answers to the questions posed lead to some interesting places.
