Essence of Azeroth - The World of Warcraft Video Game Lore Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The season finale for The Burning Crusade appears and Will Harrison returns with all the World of Warcraft lore you could want, this time talking about the Sunwell Plateau, the Sunwell Offensive, and how a character only found in a manga suddenly became the most important lore figure ever... At least for a few minutes.

Oh, and Kalecgos is a sad boy.

We're back! Will breaks his WoW burnout after some World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore by talking about the Scarlet Crusade and its history. Consider joining our Patreon over at ⁠⁠www.patreon.com/essenceofazeroth⁠⁠.

The April Hiatus is over! Join Will as he dives into the tail end of Burning Crusade, going over the siege on the Black Temple and how Blizzard ruined a perfectly good Illidan Stormrage. Consider joining our Patreon over at ⁠www.patreon.com/essenceofazeroth⁠.

Will talks about what led to the shattering of Draenor, the history of its races, and how the Gronn, Ogron, Ogres, and Orcs are all related. Also: Gordoth returns to KPR with mixed results. Consider joining our Patreon over at www.patreon.com/essenceofazeroth.

Will ventures into the haunted Castle of Karazhan to answer questions about his favorite raid in WoW history, along with a new KPR segment and an other-worldly co-host who NEEDS TO READ THE ROOM A LITTLE, SARGERAS. Ugh. Consider joining our Patreon over at www.patreon.com/essenceofazeroth.

Illidan's two closest allies during The Burning Crusade eventually became his downfall. What happened to Kael'thas Sunstrider and Lady Vashj?

The Season 4 Premiere! The Burning Crusade in many ways was more of a direct sequel to the Warcraft FTS games than vanilla World of Warcraft was. So, if we're going to do an entire season on just Burning Crusade then we need to start somewhere. Join Will this week as he delves into the backstory of Sargeras, the formation of the Burning Legion, and talks about the Illidan novel from Legion that made some serious updates to the Illidan Stormrage story. 

The Season 3 finale! Join Will for a look at the Game of Thrones-like history of the Dwarves, how Firelord Ragnaros came to Azeroth... Uh, the first time, and how a hardcore raiding guild almost got permabanned from the game for an earth-shattering bug in the salad days of Vanilla WoW raiding. Also: KPR returns! Loro Licklock is thrilled that we're paying him once again.
