What sin could Old Blanchy have committed to become the Sinrunner?
I do not understand how poor Old Blanchy, who once saved a young Thrall from Durnholde Keep, who died nobly defending his home in Westfall against the wicked Defias, could have found herself in Revendreth.
Other character customization options we’d like to see in Shadowlands

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything sourcebook is D&D’s biggest rules expansion in years
It can be easy to forget that Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition came out six years ago, in August 2014.

So I'm still thinking about those Heirloom set bonuses coming in Shadowlands -- or at least the pre-patch for it, when the level squish is slated to happen.
Castle Nathria shakes up raid loot with weapon tokens replacing weapon drops
The latest Shadowlands build includes a pretty significant change to gear drops in raids: instead of weapon drops, there will be tokens you can turn in for weapons of your choice.
