Choosing which characters are going to bind themselves to which Shadowlands Covenant is not an easy process.

I feel like calling her 'Mankrik's wife' is a bit dismissive -- in fact, I suggest we just call the guy 'Olgra's husband' for an entire expansion, see how he likes it -- but regardless, in Shadowlands we'll finally get to meet Olgra, whose husband misplaced her all the way back in the original Barrens of World of Warcraft.

We officially know when Shadowlands will be live, which I’m sure is a big relief for a lot of us. For myself, I’m just hoping that I figure out which character I’m taking to 60 first by then — it’s a toss up between my Dwarf and Night Elf Warriors for me.

We now know it's about a month to World of Warcraft's next expansion, Shadowlands, barring any unforeseen complications this time around.

World of Warcraft patch 9.0.1 — the fabled "pre-expansion patch" — is now live on the PTR, bringing with it many Shadowlands features, including the Scourge-packed pre-expansion event, which we now know is going live November 10th.

World of Warcraft Shadowlands is currently in beta, and now has a release date of November 23, 2020.
