Have you ever wondered who that raid boss you just killed was, how all those Hordes are different, or why Khadgar can’t keep a portal closed? Well wonder no more, because in this episode I’m explaining the entire history of Azeroth!

This is a video I’ve been planning for over a year and after a month of work I’m incredibly proud of the result. Enjoy!
