Know Your Lore: Khadgar, of the Sons of Lothar
The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You're playing the game, you're fighting the bosses, you know the how -- but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft. He has successfully managed to close the Dark Portal three times now -- an astounding feat, no matter which way you look at it. As former apprentice to the Guardian of Tirisfal, Khadgar has had a long and storied life -- a life lived fast forward, that now seems to be traveling in reverse. If we've learned anything about Khadgar so far in Warlords of Draenor, it's that this mystery mage has far more up his sleeve than any of us would have guessed upon our first meeting with the mage in Shattrath City during Burning Crusade. He's lively. He's peppy. He's downright snarky at times, and full to the brim with witty banter and wittier planning. Khadgar is a man of many talents, the least of which involves the destruction of Dark Portals and the ushering of armies. And in between all these madcap adventures, one has to wonder if Khadgar ever imagined, at age seventeen, staring at the tower of Karazhan, just exactly what he would spend his life getting into and out of as gracefully as any dancer on Azeroth.
One Shots: Not indigenous to the wastes
I've seen these friendly little pets popping up all over the place lately, but I think this is one of the first times I've seen a Penguin wandering around the Blasted Lands. Today's World of Warcraft One Shots shows off a recent, but regular contributor, Johanis, spending some time near the Dark Portal. He writes: Johanis (in Christmas disguise) visiting Nethergarde Keep from the old World of Warcraft territory. Just taking the newly aquired Penguin pet out for a little walk in the red wastelands. I certainly hope the little guy did okay in the scorched landscape - they're not known for being good in heat. Have you snagged a screenshot that makes people say "this doesn't quite belong together"? If so, we want to see it. Send it to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name and what game its from. A description is entirely optional. (We can just make it up!) We'll post it out here for everyone to check out and give you the credit. %Gallery-9798%
