Lore Watch Podcast: The Loa of Side Quests, and more Midnight lore

This week Joe and Eric were joined by Liz, and it was a great opportunity to begin discussing the abundance of Loa we’ve had in Midnight so far. Our cohosts discussed some of the ins and outs of becoming a Loa, and talked about what they thought they might be the Loa of one day, since none of them were nepo babied into the situation. After that they moved into Harandar and its relationship to the Emerald Dream, and how that figures in to the Rift of Aln and the World Soul.

Then, they wrapped up with a discussion on revamped zones, and which ones we’d like to see in the future. While Northrend is in the offing, our hosts have some ideas on other zones they’d like to see updated. Personally, I’m rooting for the Exodar.

If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer reading that way).
