Lore Watch Podcast: Just a few of the breadcrumbs leading us to Midnight
🕑 Added 2025-09-02 23:09:52 +0000 UTCLore Watch this week explores three questions sent in by our listeners, all ending in answers we may see as we go forward into Midnight. First, they talk about the different types of magic -- specifically that Warlock magic stems from the Titans -- and why that knowledge didn't knock the socks clean off the Kirin Tor. Or maybe Xal'atath literally knocking those socks off also knocked some sense into them, and that's where we'll see them in Midnight. Then, we turn to the cry of Azeroth we saw in the teaser trailer for The War Within -- where did Anduin and Thrall go, by the way? Did everyone really hear the cries of Azeroth, or was that something else? Finally, on a scale from one to ten, just how elfy an expansion is Midnight going to be? Because we suspect pretty elfy (and when we say "pretty elfy" we're not just talking about Kael'thas).
As always, the answers to the questions posed lead to some interesting places.
Thank you for your support, and we hope you enjoy the show.

If I were to try explaining why Thrall, Jaina and the others receded so far into the background this expac, I'd say Dalaran's fall gave them caution like no one on Azeroth has ever seen, and they're choosing to let the Champions and Alleria takle everything for now, making preparations to respond to the inevitable giant chess move they know is coming, so they won't be on the back foot like they would be if they were up in the mix, which seems altogether sensible to me

Ooh, one more thing, from what I remember in Hearthstone, the cards related to Mage Legendary Norgannon in the "TITANS!" expansion, that was all about discovering spells from ALL classes and Spell Schools, Holy, Shadow, Fire, Frost, Arcane, Fel, and though this isn't Warcraft Canon, I imagine the "Titan of Magic" isn't limited to "Arcane" magic
