Demons

The history and lore of Warcraft has usually been defined by eras of war.

There's both Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4 guaranteed on the horizon, with a potential revisiting of Diablo 2's story in a remastered (nay, Resurrected?) version.

Recently a bit of a contradiction has occurred to me.

What goes through the mind of a creature so cosmically powerful that entire worlds are viewed as dust motes, their inhabitants mere specks in the vast expanse of the universe? And what happens when that being decides it’s time to clean house?

Where Light and Void clash, chaos is born: the chaos of the Twisting Nether, birthplace of the Fel.

So I recently leveled my 10th level 100 thanks to invasions (five Warriors – Human, Worgen, two Draenei and a Night Elf plus two Demon Hunters, a Hunter, a Shaman and a Paladin) and when I got the most recent Warrior to Stormwind I found myself constructing a story for her in my head. She’s a Night Elf, a traditionalist who thinks a man’s place is sleeping in a barrow den somewhere talking to trees. She absolutely thinks she should be running the whole war against the Legion and she’s not very deferential to her people’s ‘leaders’ at all.

So during the scene in the throne room she was pretty much all you know, Jaina’s got a lot of good arguments. If Jaina starts her own faction, I think she’d be down for a gig as Jaina’s new Night Elf bodyguard.

Yeah, it didn’t work out great for the last one, but that sort of proves her point.

This is the Queue. Let’s chat.

I honestly find myself wondering how World of Warcraft could possibly top Legion.

Kind of a rough week for me. Floods, exiles, angry cats, it’s all been pretty horrible. I’m writing this Queue from a hotel room and I don’t know when I’ll get to go home again. But at least we’re all here, right?

Let’s talk Blizzard games. I could use the distraction.

As I write this it’s been well above freezing for days, and nearly all the snow has melted. I’m not fooled — it’s winter in Canada, it’s going to come roaring back and dump frozen water all over us, that’s what it does. But it’s still bizarre to be in shirtsleeves weather in January. (Yes, slightly above freezing is shirtsleeves weather in Alberta.)

Time, my friends.

Here’s the Queue. Let’s talk about Blizzard games. There may be spoilers for Legion in this one. If there are, I’ll make sure to mention them in the question/answer part so you can skip them.

I have to say, one of the things I like about Legion is that all the demons we're fighting aren't also a playable race in one of the factions.
