Warlords Of Draenor

Most people know Nixxiom from his comedic machinima pieces, but every now and again he'll throw in a serious piece just to keep us all on our toes. And although he's got a wacky sense of humor, it's these serious pieces I really appreciate the most, because he's got a really deft, elegant hand for storytelling that absolutely shines in these moments.

Warlords of Draenor brought to the table a lot of new story that all roleplayers can use and play with, but it also brought a pretty unique opportunity for both draenei and orc roleplayers. Because this expansion is taking place in an alternate universe version of Draenor, orc and draenei roleplayers now have the chance to play in a world of "what-if." What if your character is not from Azeroth, but in fact originated on this version of Draenor? What if you have two versions of the character you've been playing all along -- the Azeroth version, and the Draenor version? What if the two of them meet?

You might be wondering why, for my inaugural Know Your Lore column here at Blizzard Watch, I'm covering Queen Azshara, of all things.

Officers' Quarters has returned! Thank you all for your overwhelming support of the new site. It has allowed me to bring this column back. Many of you have been asking about it on Twitter and Patreon, and I'm very happy to debut the new incarnation here on Blizzard Watch.

You all remember Pepe?
