Who are the Lorewalkers (and why do they know so much)?
With the new Lorewalking feature, it has some of us curious about the Lorewalkers. What is their history in the game, and why exactly do they know so much? A listener asked us just that -- somewhat suspiciously. As Matt and Joe discuss the Lorewalkers, it is evident that many are not your average NPC, empowered with longevity, or great memory. The path leads us to the Time Walkers and the dragonflights, and whether any of them can be trusted to tell the truth.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Faerin Lothar and the Arathi legacy
This week Lore Watch takes a deep dive into the character of Faerin Lothar, based on the recent short story "Faith and Flame," as well as the release of patch 11.1.7, which sends us questing back into the Arathi Highlands. Faerin's story is inextricably tied to the Arathi race as a whole, but also unique to her -- noble or no, not many seven year olds are going to stow away on a ship to join the Hallowfall Expedition. Join Matt and Joe as they recount the ancient history of the Arathi, all the way into what you need to know as we embark on the latest chapter of WoW, the Arathi Campaign.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Our Lorewalking wish list
The new Lorewalking feature in World of Warcraft is one we can use to explore more moments from the game we haven't seen, or explore the ones we have seen more in-depth. A listener wrote in and asked Matt and Joe which other points of lore they'd like to see show up in Lorewalking later, so of course, the entire hour is devoted to answering that question. From the huge, earth-shaking moments involving the Titans, to the old events leading to the current ones with the lineage of humans, all the way to long-forgotten quests, there are a lot of story beats they'd love to experience from a new angle.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

Lorewalking: what to expect from this upcoming feature
Who would have thought that the hosts of the Lore Watch Podcast would be excited to talk about the new Lorewalking feature coming to World of Warcraft? The episode goes through the scenarios in detail, so if you'd prefer to have your Lorewalking experience as unspoiled as your own recollection of past events, note that they discuss everything about them at length. Part of that discussion also includes the implications of why we might be visiting these particular points in the lore -- Arthas, the Ethereals, and Xal'atath's backstory -- as we chase Xal'atath to the end of this narrative arc's conclusion.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

The War Within: The story so far
If in between hauling Brann's sorry carcass through another delve and racing around in your car in Undermine you haven't been paying close attention to the story of The War Within, we've got your back. Starting from the pre-patch and the radiant song, Matt and Joe recap the events of the expansion so far. There will be spoilers up through the end of the Undermine raid, so be wary. And of course, it just wouldn't be a Lore Watch Podcast if there wasn't a bit of heavy speculation as to where the story might be going next.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!
