What does the Void fear?

What does the Void fear?

Author: Blizzard Watch September 17, 2025 Duration: 56:42

This week's show is devoted to two listener questions. The first asks what the Void fears, in reference to a line from our old pal Ve'nari who asserts that she knows what it is -- but doesn't let us in on the secret. Can Matt and Joe unravel the mystery posed by our Broker friend? They go down some twisting paths to discuss their way to the answer, including a lot of discussion of all the elves on Azeroth. Then, more Midnight discussion that goes into what we may see from magic (in a broad sense) as we go forward even further to The Last Titan.


Matt and Joe are firmly anti the suggestion that perhaps we could move Zereth Mortis the same way as the Kirin Tor have been tooling around in Dalaran. They're pretty sure something about it is load bearing, but there isn't even OSHA on Azeroth, and if you know a guy willing to take a few risks... well, maybe there's a reason Brann is getting replaced?
