Northrend

The mortal defenders went back in time and retrieved the Dragon Soul, the very weapon that N'zoth had once guided Neltharion to make.

and brought it to Wyrmrest Temple in Northrend, where the dragon Aspex and Thrall began to empower it.

Deathwing threw everything he had at Wyrmrest, and N'zoth threw something of his own.

He sent his faceless ones, the N'raki, to join the assault, and at their head was a very old soldier.

But one of the things that they mentioned, which seems really reasonable, is... um silver moon and blood elves they're a big thing right now in retail and they kind of didn't want to like just step on that or like be starting to tell a different story about blood elves in the middle of a big blood elf arc

Another thing I thought was fairly interesting was their point that Pandaria and Northrend and other areas that had all their own expats and that I personally didn't know about until we played through them in WoW.

Those places all exist in the canon right now, so...

We can have adventures that go to Northrend or adventures that go to Pandaria, but they won't be moving the whole game to Northrend like they did for Wrath, and they won't be moving the whole game to Pandaria like they did for Mists of Pandaria.

And those things, people who played the Warcraft games...

Already knew there was a Northrend, but that's not me.

I didn't know there was a Northrend.

Yes.

But I think it would shoehorn a lot of people into roles that they necessarily don't want.

I will say what you just said about bards, you know, fitting the timelines and what I was saying earlier about how the can of worms of if there's a new class in forever what is retail going to do and I was going to say just what you said about bards for your number one if you don't mind me I'm going to start talking about it which is Tinker because it seems like the last Titan we're going back to Northrend, we're going back to like all the Titan stuff, like construction, Mimiron could come and teach people how to be tinkers.

And then for that same reason, we get tinkers in retail, we can get tinkers in forever.

And that's like next year we're getting The Last Titan.

And then, around the time of the great assault on the Lich King's citadel in the Frozen North, they began to resurface.

One of them turned up in Dalaran, the city of the mages, which floated above Northrend in those days.

His name was Daros Moonlance, a highborn who had come to the city's silver enclave to do research.

He was meticulous, a colleague would say later, about tracking his progress, and he kept a journal.

Not to be mistaken for the very robust orange trucks you would have played with as a child.

This is the Northrend version of Torrens.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And of course, they were allied with the Horde since we went up to Northrend and Wrath of the Lich King.

So it makes a lot of sense.

I always thought that they'd just become like an additional customization that they threw in.

But... all the different modifications that they've done on races that they've introduced.
