I never posted this, but I put a chart together on the Ethereum, the ruling class of ethereals! a note that Commander Ameer is not *technically* Ethereum (hence the broken line), but he formed the Protectorate in response to the Ethereum so it felt appropriate to include

Felt silly that I didn't catch onto Azir earlier bc he's clearly *not* a void ethereal! Pointing this out has been met with a lot of confusion, so figured I'd put a side by side together. Azir is more blue (arcane) & Saprish/Locus-Walker/Ky'veza are all purple (void) under their bandages

fun fact you may have missed: ky'veza's boss loot chest in nerub-ar palace is named "Spoils of K'aresh"

I've seen the debate over whether K'aresh is actually destroyed or not going around for weeks so I wanted to offer my two cents: the answer is both yes and no

don't actually wanna give away spoilers but I am SCREAMING HOLEEEEE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!

Fun fact: Undermine is actually bigger than what we see in-game! One of the drill operators says the part we're in is just "downtown" and the RPG even mentions a whole network of tunnels that connect the city's different centers beneath Kezan/nearby islands.

HERE'S MY BABY 💚💚 Jeff is responsible for bringing it to life, but I got to do the script and voiceover! The concept behind this was a goblin laying out the revolution plan for Undermine - there's also a few references to things you might've heard while questing in the zone 👀

I SCRIPTED AND VOICED THIS ONE SO I'M VERY EXCITED FOR IT AND HOPE Y'ALL WILL WATCH IT AT SOME POINT 🙏

of all the speculated potential locations for 11.2 (k'aresh, rootlands, etc.) I decided I'm personally partial to the end of the coreway/heart of azeroth theory, though I could also see us circling back around to that in The Last Titan too depending on how slowly Xal'atath's plans escalate

Here's just a few familiar goblin faces you might stumble across in Undermine and where you've seen them before 🚀

I might be posting some fun Undermine lore stuff on The Lost Codex account here again very soon so if you don't have this mount yet... 👀

didn't even announce this when it happened this week bc I was too deep in working on stuff but MY YOUTUBE IS MONETIZED 🥹 I got channel memberships a few months ago but as of now I'm making money off ads and I'm so happy!! over a year in the making! it may be 12 cents but it's MY 12 cents, you know??

fun fact I manually drew in the Dragon Isles on this world tree map so I could add Amirdrassil for my History of Teldrassil video but it's a bit anachronistic bc I used the pre-Cata map of Azeroth, I just could not be bothered 😂

Of all the starting zones in WoW, it's always struck me how *much* lore you need to know to understand what's going on in Teldrassil quests (the backstory of at least 3 major lore characters? 10,000 years of lore??) so anywho I impulsively made a lore video breaking it all down youtu.be/Esz0p_6pxbE

With Undermine(d) soon(™), it seemed like a good time to do the goblin heritage quests! This storyline is *not* necessary to understanding Undermine stuff, but it does parallel a lot in 11.1, so it provides a fun bit of nuance if you're interested! youtu.be/_po52fQpoM8

my next history lore video is going to be super clickbaity but also not clickbaity bc technically I *will* be talking about and agreeing with the title but I also want you to know it's definitely a controversial take at face value and oooo I'm so excited I can't wait give me like 3-4 weeks at most

And with that, I have finally finished my lorethrough of every storyline in the main Undermine(d) campaign on the PTR! For those who don't mind spoilers (or want a more detailed look at the story in the future), you can now watch it all from start to finish 💚 youtu.be/alIsoDTNkio

Part 2 of my Undermine PTR story playthrough is out! this time with more goblin voice(™) narration & background lore to help you understand Undermine 💚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgUw...

Started working on story playthroughs for all the new questlines coming in Undermined! Starting with the very first chain in the campaign: Trust Issues (full spoilers ahead, obviously). youtu.be/QkKV7LXW1FI

🧨 major 11.1 Undermine PTR #spoilers 🧨 A few more lore notes that go hand in hand with the Undermine MSQ. Wasn't able to nab the first half of Noggenfogger's journal just yet though because I broke the phasing :(

🧨 minor 11.1 Undermine PTR MSQ #Spoilers 🧨 Early on in Undermine you get a chance to ask about the goblin cartels (you can also ask Gazlowe beforehand, but he gives slightly different answers). It's a really nice refresher if you're like me & not that familiar with the finer details of goblin lore

🧨 major 11.1 Undermine PTR #spoilers 🧨 Once you finish one of the 11.1 MSQ chapters you can go back and find Gallywix's notes, which shed a little bit more light on things re: Xal'atath's involvement in Undermined.

inky black potion Undermine goes hard 💚

🧨 minor non-MSQ 11.1 Undermine PTR spoilers 🧨 obsessed with the fact that one of the NPCs who pops up during the world soul memory event seems to be the in-world inspiration behind the "Samophlange," a Venture Company creation you muck about with in classic Barrens quests

🧨 minor non-MSQ 11.1 Undermine PTR spoilers 🧨 One of the Worldsoul Memories in Undermine references the early cartel wars (the Trade Wars mentioned in Gallywix's short leader story?) & shows early versions of the goblin cartels: Dustwater Ring, Muckers Gang, & the Steambuilders Crew.

pulled the rarest card* from the Blizzard Legacy set yesterday 😱 *that I will ever get bc 10/10 is insane wtf
