Lore Watch Podcast: In the Amani Loa-fest, where is Bwonsamdi?

The Loa of death Bwonsamdi is the first topic in this week’s Lore Watch Podcast. Bwonsamdi was everywhere in Battle for Azeroth, even being a major driver of events in that expansion. But now that we have a whole Troll area packed with Loa in Midnight, he hasn’t joined the party yet. Why? He seems like a party kind of guy. And where is he, if he isn’t here, and what is he up to?

Then, we move on to the second of two listener-submitted questions. The second part of the show concerns the Tree of Whispers from Diablo 4, and the lore fallout from the events of the most recent expansion. I don’t want to say exactly what all happened with the Tree of Whispers, because spoilers, so if you’re diving in this far, be warned. The Loremasters go from the events from the base game, all the way into the nature of Mephisto and his offspring.

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).
