Lore Watch Podcast 141: Sally Whitemane and the Scarlet Crusade
This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez devote the entire podcast to exploring the twisted history of the fanatical Sally Whitemane and her Scarlet Crusade.
How do you feel about the changes to Corruption and Legendary cloak catch-up mechanics?
Blizzard surprised us all this week by announcing changes to Corruption and Echoes of Ny'alotha, as well as to how quickly you could level up your Legendary Cloak, and then almost immediately hotfixing some of those changes live.

The Queue: Have a Great Summer Vacation!
This week marks the end of the school year, apparently — we end our school year early and go back in the first couple weeks of August. As such, I’m not sure what to do this summer. No swimming lessons, no summer reading story hour at the library, no going to the childrens’ museum to see the dinosaur skeletons, and definitely no playing on slides at the park. It’s just gonna be us, Roblox, Disney Plus, and the kiddie pool out back.
Help me.

New catch-up mechanics let you buy the Corruption you want and upgrade your cloak faster
Starting this week, you'll be able to buy specific types of Corruption to apply to gear, removing the randomness from the system — and making it a lot easier for new 120s to gear up.
The Queue: Do your Wolpertingers linger?
I know that you’re supposed to see Wolpertinger’s when you’re drunk — but I’m stone-cold sober here, I swear! Maybe it’s the lack of sleep?
While I ponder this, let’s go to — the Queue.
What’s your favorite lore moment in any Blizzard game?
To this day, I love the moment in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls where you discover that the King of Westmarch has been deposed and murdered by one of his noblemen during the Reaper invasion of the city.
Time will pass differently in the Shadowlands than it does on Azeroth (and we have no idea what that means)
Sometimes I am convinced that Ion Hazzikostas, World of Warcraft's Game Director, says things just to see our heads explode.
