Like hiking a serious mountain, we’ve now breached the alpine zone and have the peak in sight. And much like how the air thins out at this point in the climb, so does the quantity of Orcs we have to suffer. Archimonde awaits just over the crest, but first we must throw down his vanguard: Zakuun, the torturer of Grommash Hellscream; Xhul’horac, a malevolent being from the void; and the reanimated vengeance of Mannoroth, who is essentially the Washington Generals of the Burning Legion.

Archimonde, we assumed, was dead. But he's show up again on Draenor, and it's left a lot of people confused as to how he could have been dead, and suddenly is not. People speculated that just as there are infinite versions of Draenor, there are infinite versions of the Burning Legion as well. That's where a tweet from Alex Afrasiabi comes in.

The fallen Titan unleashed the Burning Legion and sent them across infinity, devouring worlds like cosmic locusts, rendering them lifeless. A nearly unstoppable army of demons under his banner finds worlds and unmakes them, and so far only one planet has held out against the onslaught of Sargeras and his Burning Legion. But who is Sargeras? What motivates this being? What drives him to seek the unmaking of the entire universe?

Last week, we got to take a look at the origins (maybe) of Midnight's baddie supreme, Xal'atath, in "Supremacy." This week, we got a look at the past of another important figure in World of Warcraft, and one who's on our side this time: Lady Liadrin, the iconic Blood Elf Paladin, in "All That Is Sacred." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoJgQA4Uhks We also get to see someone new in this animation: High Priest Vandellor, Liadrin's adoptive father who took her in after her parents were slain by Amani trolls, and who first inspired her faith and awe for the light -- in fact, she would eventually follow in his path as High Priestess Liadrin (which you get to see if you're a Blood Elf pursuing your heritage armor, or during the Lorewalking chapter on Elves).

Arator the Redeemer son of Alleria Windrunner and High Exarch Turalyon has been an occasional presence in the narrative of World of Warcraft until now but with Midnight he'll be moving to the forefront, stepping out from the light and the shadow cast by his famous parents to forge his own story.

Midnight opens with the heroes of Azeroth called to the desperate defense of the Sunwell by Lady Liadrin, but before we accept the summon request we should refresh ourselves on the background of the Blood Knight Matriarch.

Almost as soon as we got word of the contents of patch 11.2, rumors began spreading among the playerbase due to a very interesting inclusion in the otherwise Ethereal-heavy Manaforge Omega raid: an optional boss fight against three Demon Hunters.

Even though The War Within hasn't yet reached its conclusion, the next chapter of World of Warcraft is rapidly approaching: Midnight.

If the past really is a foreign country, I’m terribly disappointed at the lack of good travel agents to facilitate visits to the most intriguing locations.

I'll open by stating that Sire Denathrius had the potential to be an extremely relevant antagonist in World of Warcraft, far beyond just the limited influence he had in the Shadowlands.
