WoW

By now we've all watched the new Afterlives: Revendreth animated short and we've all seen a certain Warchief return (if in slightly diminished circumstances) and we've also all gotten to listen to Sire Denathrius' best PR spin on the Anima drought in the form of an open letter to the Venthyr of Revendreth.

I've seen people discussing Covenants in World of Warcraft's upcoming Shadowlands expansion and how they don't feel like they can choose one based on the aesthetics or storytelling -- the fact that the Covenants add real, tangible power to a character means that they will always be subject to balance issues.

They were brothers: Ursoc and Ursol, the bear gods, patrons of the Furbolg.

Draka is a character who seems to have been created in Warcraft for a single, albeit important, purpose.

We got some additional insight last week that the four Covenants we'll choose from in Shadowlands are intended to tap into the identity of our characters, helping them to become more unique than the race, class, and specialization that defines them in terms of gameplay.

The short and unhelpful answer to the question Who is the Jailer is that guy up there at the head of the post -- Game Director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed on his live interview with Zoltan.tv that the folks at Wowhead had successfully datamined the fella's model, and that up above is it.

When I saw that the secrets finding community had found out how to get Jenafur, I felt this sharp burst, a pang, really.

We're seeing a fair amount of realms being connected lately.

The first Afterlives animated shorts have focused on known characters in Warcraft lore, namely Uther and Draka.
