Lady Liadrin

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).

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.

The Night Elves have their own perfectly valid reasons for not trusting the Nightborne right off the bat -- but that isn’t really helpful when trying to forge new alliances.

After doing Suramar for a while and getting Good Suramaritan done, I found myself working on the further storyline quests and I realized something.

The Suramar questline steadily unravels ancient Elven history, from the time before the coming of the Burning Legion to the destruction of the Well of Eternity, and presents you with a gradually unfolding picture of Elvenkind and their society.

This week brought a surprise new achievement: Fledging Hero of Warcraft.

With the Lady Liadrin portrait promotion coming to Hearthstone, Blizzard is encouraging Hearthstone players to check out World of Warcraft -- perhaps for the first time.

At Friday's announcement of Hearthstone's Whispers of the Old Gods we found out we'd be getting a new Hearthstone patch today.

Last week, I talked about several characters that I'd like to see make an appearance in the upcoming Legion expansion.
