Lore segment begins at (18:46)
Rain falls over Zhu’s Watch, but its people have lost the will to care. Farther south, Anduin Wrynn finds the Red Crane’s refuge overwhelmed by fear and despair. Across the mogu ruins, two expeditions search for the same water: a father hoping to preserve a future with his daughter, and a husband trying to save his family. This week, Tides of Lore follows the Krasarang Wilds story from Ken Ken’s strange cure to the Temple of the Red Crane, the troubled coast, and the breach at Stoneplow. The Alliance and Horde arrive with old suspicions and fresh losses. The people they helped along the way arrive with a reason to stand together.

Lore segment begins at (10:04) A prince promises survival at a terrible cost. Rebels escape his city, bargain for sanctuary, and build a new life above the world. Thousands of years later, their descendants must decide how to save the home that bargain gave them. We begin Tides of Lore: Forever by connecting the Skyborne’s origins to the Shen’dralar of Eldre’Thalas, the ancient city now known as Dire Maul. We follow Tortheldrin’s rule, the rebellion against his plans, and the exiles whose journey leads into Skywall and the Zephras Isle starting storyline. First, we return to the aftermath of Warcraft III: Arthas’s betrayal, Grom Hellscream’s sacrifice, the stand at Mount Hyjal, and the fragile peace that follows. These events leave Azeroth with the rivalries, displaced peoples, and unfinished conflicts that form the backdrop to World of Warcraft: Forever. We also discuss the High Order and Windshapers, the Skyborne’s ties to the Kirin Tor and Earthen Ring, and our first impressions of how their story fits into Warcraft’s history.
