The Midnight Elf-O-Rama

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential of the Midnight expansion focusing on elves and their dynamics within the game world.

Is  Midnight  the Elf-centric team-up expansion of our dreams, or what? That's the listener question which serves as our jumping off point this week. And our cohosts conclude: Yes, mostly! Indeed,  Midnight  is the elf-o-rama we've always wanted -- nay, deserved. Matt, Joe, and Eric point out some of their shared elf-y foibles (must we always have a singular, vulnerable font of power that serves as both anchor and crutch?). Speaking of, is Silvermoon City just where all the elves are going to live now? And if so, how will that shake out if (when) the tensions between the Horde and Alliance inevitably boil over? Plus, where's Azshara at? Naga are basically wet elves, and if anyone has a score to settle with some jumped-up cutlery, it's her. 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).
