Lore Watch Podcast: Fractured worlds and world souls

In World of Warcraft, we’ve come across several shattered worlds, in varying degrees of obliteration. From Outland to K’aresh, these worlds have been corrupted with various forces, were shredded into near-oblivion, and some looked as though they may have some kind of shot at redemption against all odds.

But what about their world souls? How does each world soul relate to the creation of these worlds by the Titans? And how worried should we therefore be about the fate that may await Azeroth? This one gets pretty deep into the weeds of tinfoil hat theorizing, pulling elements from several different expansions for reference.

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).
