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 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.
