Connecting WoW's lore from the past to the future

About this episode

The episode discusses the connections between past and future lore in World of Warcraft, focusing on nostalgia and various locations and events in the game.

A lot of our travels as Lorewalkers seem to revolve around what events are happening in  World of Warcraft , and Childrens' Week is no exception. As we cart these vulnerable children around to various areas of incredible peril, it re-showed us several spots around Azeroth that made us say, "oh yeah, what was up with that?" Our frequent listener and question-asked scribbleigh asked us several questions in this vein, ranging from the depths of Ironforge to the depths of escorting Marshall Windsor around Blackrock Depths. Really, nostalgia in  WoW  has a lot of depths to it. Plus, what do you think our former best buds are up to now? I should clarify that in this case I mean the Pandaren, because there are a lot of people we've kinda pulled that number on over the years. Then, we get a full tinfoil hat conjecture on the connection between Alndust and Kajamite and Azerite. It ends up with the moon, somehow. You'll just have to listen to connect those dots. If you want even more background story, we also have  a guide to every  Warcraft  book in chronological order  (for those of you who prefer reading that way). If you enjoy the show, please support…
