This week's Lore Watch kicks off with a question based on a datamined spoiler which will be revealed as we come to toward the end of patch 12.1, as we finally uncover the goal Xal'atath has been working toward since before she was besties with a nameless Shadow Priest (Mitch).

It isn’t often that my now-teenage daughter gives me something but when she does it’s usually a cold. Her immune system tends to be ironclad, and mine is also similarly strong, so when the littler one brings something home, eh, it’s a headcold or whatever. But when my daughter brings something home and I catch it, it is gnarly and won’t let go. I’m on day 4, and I feel worse than I did yesterday.

If Cory also gives me his cold I’m going to haunt this website when I die.

We’re at that point of summer where I am so thoroughly over it. I cannot stand eating another zucchini and I’m so sick of being sweaty all the time. It’s made even worse because all the pumpkin spice nonsense is rolling out because everyone north of me is starting to feel that crisp breeze in the air, but if I want to feel that anytime in the next month I need to stand over the AC grate wearing a dress (which doesn’t have pockets, because we’re adding insult to injury). Time does and will march on, but for now I’m truly over it.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’ll give you some kind of answers as long as I can do it lying down with the lights off. Ugh.

Liz, a person who has a legitimate phobia of snakes, is rather emphatically not enjoying the Coiled Isle.
