Machik and Enaeya chat about guild backstories and a cool addon called Narcissus, which enhances all those selfies you've been posted on Twitter!

So much happened in WoW this week that we would be remiss if we didn't talk about these news items. This includes the unfortunate passing of a memorable cosplayer, and extensive exploit, and a new book on Warcraft lore.

With a new cinematic comes fresh questions. Now understand this section will contain EXTENSIVE SPOILERS!! So if you are one who doesn't like to know what happens in-game until you see it, then we implore you to not read or listen any further. It seems that Sylvanas might have some reservations after the Jailer seemed to not care of Denathrius' demise. Will Sylvanas fall to the same fate? And what about Anduin? How is he the weapon? All this and more is discussed during the podcast.

This week we discuss something that has affected most everyone that has played an online game at some point in their life. Toxicity. Toxicity brought into the game by players who for some reason either need anger and hate in their life, or enjoy the drama they can stir up among other players. Though there is no solution to the toxicity that is abundant in online games, there are things you can do to overcome the negativity that it brings to your enjoyment.

First, we talk about the experiences we have had with toxic players. And truthfully, it's happened much more than what we share in the podcast. But hearing just a few of those instances helps to understand how prevalent it has become. Then we look at what we can do in World of Warcraft to not let toxicity have the negative effects their purveyors wish to impart on everyone.

Once we finish with the toxicity, we look at the conspiracies that Machik believes resides in World of Warcraft. What would you say if you were told that Bastion, along with the Maw, are the real bad guys in the Shadowlands? Would you believe such nonsense? Would you tell Machik that he is totally wrong in his beliefs? Listen, he might convince you.

This week we finally move into the final major zone from the release of Shadowlands. Where gothic castles, tea parties, and vampires roam, Revendreth is a bustling city, even if it's in the afterlife. Initially, you come to give information to Sire Denathrius and help fight against a rebellion. By the end, you become part of the rebellion and you know that it will be your job to take down Denathrius and help save the Shadowlands.

After discussing Maldraxxus last week, we move ever so quickly to Ardenweald, a place that is so significantly different that it feels as if you've been hit with whiplash. The lush trees, the calming music, the lack of blades striking each other really creates a different feel for the player. But not all is what it seems.

Over the course of leveling we learn how the anima drought is significanlty affecting the locals of Ardenweald. Additionally the Drust have become a bitter enemy. Yes, the same Drust from Battle for Azeroth. It is our job to help make the Winter Queen's life a bit more managebale. But what we find is that this task is not so easy.

As we finish up our discussion on Ardenweald, we move into the Threads of Fate. How is leveling so significantly different than what it once was? Is the Threads of Fate leveling process worth it? Machik weighs in after having leveled multiple toons through that leveling choice.

Two Tauren Tables begins their discussion with the lore of Maldraxxus this week. Though the setting may not be as pretty as Bastion, there are still some interesting lore characters to talk about. Additionally, Enaeya gushes over the storyline. Though it continues to be linear, Blizzard has taken us on a grand adventure.

Our fearless Shu'halo also look at how this story matches with the cosmology chart found in Chronicle Volume 1. We've seen Order versus Disorder in Legion. And then Light versus Shadow in the end of Legion and BFA. And now we have reached Life vs Death. Was this intentional Blizzard?

This week we cover Bastion, the first zone that every player ventures into once they finish their experience in the Maw. Bastion is a place of winged blue humans. We come to learn whether they are truly selfless, or if the path they follow strips them of all that they are.

Machik and Enaeya have both ventured into the Shadowlands. Though release happened only 4 hours prior to recording the podcast, they both have so much to say about Bastion, the storyline, and the playstyle.

As Battle for Azeroth comes to an end, Machik and Enaeya wonder, where is the resolution? Is the World Soul healed? What about the faction war? Who are the winners and the losers? 

Though our friendly Tauren don't have all the answers, they have plenty to talk about. And of course, Machik messed up the recording once again.
