WoW

The four part audio drama - The Tomb of Sargeras is out (http://itunes.com/wow) and we really enjoyed listening to it. It helps explain Gul’dan’s motivations, how the Legion got back into Azeroth and why Khadgar shows up at the end of the demon hunter starting area.

Want to find out what separates a demon hunter from the demons they hunt? Watch the last Harbringers animation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUfOIvlC6Eo and you’ll find out. You will also get to see this in demon hunter starting area.
