Varok Saurfang

First up, in this Know Your Lore I'll say that I generally think that Shadowlands looks amazing.

There are certain themes we hear when discussing Sylvanas Windrunner and her role in World of Warcraft lately.

Okay, so when you set out to write a post that looks at the Horde and Alliance conflict in Battle for Azeroth, you have to look at certain things straight on and can't dissemble or try and evade those things.

Spoilers for Patch 8.2 and the 'Safe Haven' cinematic in this post.

Well, some of the story of Battle for Azeroth, anyway.

This BlizzCon, our delightful Dan O'Halloran and malefic Mitch "Mitch" Mitchell sat down with Blizzard's Alex Afrasiabi (World of Warcraft's Senior Creative Director) and Patrick Dawson (Technical Director) and chatted about World of Warcraft.

In the opening quests of Battle for Azeroth, the Horde takes a little trip to the Stormwind Stockades to rescue a high-value prisoner.

Saurfang has been through a lot.

Varok Saurfang has had arguably one of the most heart-wrenching lives in Warcraft canon.

Last week, we talked about what would have happened if Dranosh Saurfang hadn't died at the Wrathgate.
