Intro: Welcome to For Azeroth!
What We’re Up To
7.2 is here!
- PvP Brawls
- New Dungeon

Personal Jazz
- There’s a new Abomination model in game and it’s awesome.
- Frost DK’s Howling Blast has a new animation that is WAY more similar to Arthas’s spell in Heroes of the Storm.
- I didn’t know Archmage Xylem was the solo challenge. Dude is a bastard.

- Once unlocked, the buildings stay up for a temporary period of time (3 days). During this time you will automatically get one buff, as well as variable perk as a buff by speaking to Commander Chambers.

What are we focusing on?
Via wowhead
- Farm Armies of Legionfall reputation, as you will need Revered for Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part Two.
- Complete turn ins for your preferred Broken Shore Building, which is a region-wide building effort.
- Farm Nethershards on the Broken Shore to purchase fun reputation items, or gear for alts.
- Work on each step of the 11-week Broken Shore Campaign ( Breaching the Tomb) so you're not behind on unlocking the Class Mount.
- Save up 25000 to research Rank 7 and Rank 8 Order Advancements - these provide champion and Artifact Power benefits. You will need to complete Champions of Legionfall before starting research though.
- If you are Exalted with factions, work towards grinding reputation again as every 10k rep, you'll get a special satchel that can contain a mount!
- Continue leveling up class champions as they can be legendary quality in the patch, and their ilvl has increased to 900!
Lore
Jaina - Part 2
Ruler of Theramore
- Jaina allied her people with the city of Stormwind, and attempted to host a summit between King Varian and Thrall
- Varian was convinced to attend by his son Anduin, and set off for Theramore, but never arrived
- Jaina launched an investigation, and found out that the Defias Brotherhood had allied themselves with Onyxia to kidnap the king
- Much later, Jaina was informed of two gladiators arriving in Theramore. She sensed dark magic around Lo’Gosh, who could not remember his past
- With the help of her chamberlain, the former Guardian Aegwynn, she was able to restore his memories, discovering that he was the long lost King
- She and Varian led the battle against Onyxia and successfully rescued Anduin from her grasp
- Jaina was not among those on the front lines during the events of the Burning Crusade, but was the first to welcome the Draenai to Azeroth and provide them with aid
Wrath of the Lich King
- After the events of the Wrathgate, Varian was determined to wage all out war on the Horde
- Jaina, having lived through many wars already, teleported to Orgrimmar to figure out what happened
- She met with Sylvanas, and discovered that an uprising had taken place, and that Varimathras had taken control of Undercity
- The Horde traitor Putress, who was responsible for the Wrathgate, was allied with the dreadlord
- Thrall assured Jaina that the Horde had no interest in war with the Alliance unless provoked and that he would take care of the traitor
- Jaina agreed to take his message back to Varian, but was not convinced that Varian would stay his hand as Bolvar had been like a brother to Varian
- Jaina was right to be worried. The Horde forces attempting to regain control of Undercity clashed with Alliance forces led by Varian who were determined to return Lordaeron to Alliance control and bring justice to Putress
- Refusing to allow all out war to break out, Jaina froze the Alliance army and teleported them back to Stormwind
- When Brann Bronzebeard returns from Ulduar with news that Yogg-Saron has broken free of his prison, Jaina attempts to call a summit of Alliance and Horde leaders, only for Garrosh and Varian to come to blows
- Through all of this, Jaina was still attempting to find redemption for Arthas. She, along with a group of adventurers, enters the Halls of Reflection
- They face many obstacles, including Scourgelord Tyrannus, and the Frost Wyrm Sindragosa, before making it to the private chambers of the Lich King where they find an unguarded Frostmourne
- Jaina communes with the spirits trapped within the blade, and the spirit of her friend Uther the Lightbringer appears
- Uther tells Jaina the terrible truth, that not only is Arthas a small glimmer of light staying the Lich King’s wrath, but that in order to protect Azeroth, the Lich King will not only have to be killed, but also replaced
- The Lich King arrives, banishing Uther back inside the blade, and removing it from it’s pedestal. He summons two powerful captains to deal with the intruders while Jaina runs after him
- When the adventurers defeated the captains, the make their way to Jaina just in time as Arthas is ruthlessly attacking her and she is on the verge of being defeated
- Jaina finally realizes that there is nothing left of her former love that can be saved, so she and her companions flee. The Lich King chases them down a hidden passage and they barely escape when the Skybreaker gunship comes to their aid
- Though she was not present at the death of Arthas, she could tell he was gone, and would always wonder if she could have done more to save him

Hello Garrett and Joce!
Listening to your discussion on Micro Holidays started me thinking about an appropriate reward. Something substantial, yet rare, and yet again bigger than the reward itself.
How about Curious Coins? They are they currency you trade to Xur'ios in Dalaran for miscellaneous goodies.
The thought here is that someone, Xur'ios or otherwise, would give a quest related to the Microliday, (pardon me ;-) and reward you with a certain amount of coins, possibly one to five. I personally see this reward as substantial and rare. Yet also bigger than the reward itself, by hopefully giving people an engagement boost for a week or so to get more coins via dungeons, raids, and emissary boxes.
This may only last until World of Warcraft: Black Empire (soon tm*?). Yet it is more than what we have now.
Thanks for the awesome show! Been listening to A-Move for about a year and a half, and I have appreciated every single episode!

Hey, guys:
I have a question regarding the news of potentially travelling to Argus to take the fight to the Burning Legion on their turf:
One of the big reasons the demons of the Burning Legion are so difficult to deal with is that killing them on Azeroth simply sends them back to the Twisting Nether to be reborn as new demons. If the intention in traveling to Argus is to fight the Legion there, is that implying the planet is in the Twisting Nether? Has it always been this way, or has the Nether shifted? Or is there another step to reaching the Twisting Nether after we arrive on Argus?
Thanks for being fans!
