This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe dive right into the mailbag to answer your questions – which of course leads to a lot of theories and rampant speculations. What’s up with Rexxar in Battle for Azeroth? Are Kaja’mite and Azerite related somehow? What’s going on with that whole Alliance/Horde conflict? 

For Patrons, we're happy to give you access to the episode before everyone else - enjoy it right over here on SoundCloud! Note that if you want to you can download it from SoundCloud onto your favorite device. And as always, let us know what you think. Thanks for listening!

Re: Rexxar: I got more the impression that he knows she CAN take so many lives. He's protecting the Horde *now* because she absolutely would kill as many as possible. Yeah, Rossi, she HASN'T done anything, because she's Alliance and so boring, character-wise. But she wants to and can.

Also, the attack in Stormsong? She mentions that it is the 'breadbasket' of Kul Tiras. Not that that makes it a legit target, but I can see why you'd want to take out supply lines.

This feels like the easiest answer, but Occam's Razor yadda yadda: N'Zoth could be subtly influencing people like Rexxar and Lilian Voss, but also Sylvanas and Anduin, not going outright insane and evil like with the influence of the other Old Gods, but merely pushing them towards their darker side, enhancing their paranoia, their aggression, their hatred. Basically, pushing them towards "the darkest timeline". All to incite a full-out war centered on Zandalar and Kul Tiras, near the Maelstrom and/or his prison, to both distract the mortal races and help facilitate his release. For the Horde as a whole, this means a return to the old, bloodthirsty ways, while in the Alliance (and I think we'll see more of that soon) it is literally a return to a nation that never made peace with the Horde, that retains their hatred towards the Orcs. The Alliance's "evil" is hidden by a feeling of righteousness, especially as the Horde is the initial aggressor, but I kinda expect some future actions that go way beyond simple retribution.

I'm not sure we need N'Zoth to do this. We have seen, as recently as Legion, that even working together the factions don't trust each other. I'm not sure why Blizz went this way, but I'm aboard for the ride. #Victory for Sylvanas!
