Millhouse Jerimus Manastorm and more, less important, World of Warcraft lore

We lead off the week with the history of the most important lore figure of all time to World of Warcraft: Millhouse Manastorm. From his incredibly auspicious beginnings to his even more auspicious middle, and the implausibly auspiciouser current machinations, Matt and Joe showcase this crucial figure in lore. What’s after that is clearly less important, but eh, our listeners had some questions, so we might as well discuss them. There’s a thing about the interplay between Xal’atath and Sylvanas, a little thing about the origins of the San’layn (those Blood Elf vampires near Arthas), and how portals affect narrative immersion, but all that is kind of whatever next to the magnificence of Millhouse Manastorm! If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer reading that way): https://blizzardwatch.com/warcraft-books/ Subscribe to Lore Watch in your podcast player for more video game lore: RSS: https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/6556539150cd070012089193 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lore-watch-podcast/id1023224738 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CIJRbwbEVQfCg8r94HCwO Visit us at https://blizzardwatch.com for the latest news on Blizzard games, and don't forget to subscribe on Patreon to support our efforts! https://www.patreon.com/blizzardwatch Discord: https://discord.gg/MY9p4d7t8U Bluesky: @blizzardwatch.com
