Azeroth’s lack of pantheon

Posted on March 21, 2021 by Telwyn

Belghast has a rather interesting post up about the lack of defined pantheistic religion in World of Warcraft. The few religious figures that are in the game are either very abstract, such as “the Light”, or rather niche such as … Continue reading →

I noticed on Twitter that there was an extension to the 2021 Erollisi Day through to the end of the week. This was a fortuitous reminder, I’d missed this event as I was too busy with work and offline activities … Continue reading →

“My mana is low”

Posted on December 12, 2020 by Telwyn
