Halondrus the Reclaimer has fallen.

With the arrival of the newest Shadowlands campaign chapter after weekly reset, players will be able to unlock flying for all their characters in Zereth Mortis.

In addition to a wide cast of human characters, Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel Horizon Forbidden West are full of artificial intelligences, all of which are major players in the game's story.

Am I feeling crabby because I’ve been watching the Race to World First all weekend and have seen hundreds of attempts on Halondrus? Or am I feeling crabby because an hour of sleep was cruelly stolen from me?

It could honestly be either. Evolutions arm is long, but it always bends toward crab.

While I give my kitchen tongs a few click clacks to get used to the feeling, it’s time for — The Queue.

Shadowlands patch 9.2 brought World of Warcraft players to the zone of Zereth Mortis, a land of automata and brokers struggling to hold off the Jailer's Mawsworn forces, while the heroes raid the Sepulcher of the First Ones with the goal of saving existence from Zovaal's plans.

Many Covenant abilities in Shadowlands have become iconic and gameplay-defining -- for instance, Convoke the Spirits for Night Fae Druids, Condemn for Fury Warriors, and Divine Toll for Paladins of all kinds.

Hear that sound?

Thank goodness for goats.

Okay. I admit, I may have panicked about Chaddius a little too quickly. Chaddius only takes a break up by the lake when he’s Steward of the Day, which can only happen when there’s a calling in Bastion. So Chaddius was never exactly missing — it just wasn’t his day off to chill with a box of wine.

Because, really, that’s the kind of day off that we all want.

But I haven’t seen him since I started my quest. Which either means I managed to miss his day even though I thought I was paying attention, or he’s having a really long workweek. So I hope Chaddius gets a break soon so I can go say hi.

But while we wait for Chaddius, let’s get to the Queue.

This week we discuss the race to claim the title of World First for the just released Mythic Sepulcher of the First Ones raid, Diablo 3 Season 26 testing reveals a new end-game mechanic, and the chances for our long-asked-for pumpkin farming mechanic in the upcoming WoW expansion reveal.
