Do you have any questions wanna to ask the Lore Nerd? From Alex Ziebart, we know some questions and answers, I posted it here and hope this can help you.
Do we see anymore of those Faceless Ones we saw in Warcraft III?
Yep! The Faceless Ones are servants of the Old God Yogg-Saron, who seems to be directly at odds with the Scourge and the Lich King. Yogg-Saron might also have ties to the Nightmare in the Emerald Dream... but you'll have to do the quests and find out for sure, won't you?
This is only a handful of the things people have really been interested in seeing. There is a crapton (that's a metric unit of measurement I think) that's going on in Northrend. This is quite seriously just a teaser. Here's a tip for you guys: Explore every corner of every zone eventually. Even if you don't cover entire zones from 70-80, go back later and do it. You'll find stories tucked away everywhere.
That sounds pretty Norse-influenced. Is there a lot of that in Northrend, or is it limited to the vrykul?
Northrend is very, very heavily influenced by Norse mythology. The Vrykul are the most blatant examples. The Ymirjar are the Einherjar, Valhal is Valhalla, and the Lich King also employs the Val'kyr, which are valkyries. It's a pretty blatant lift, but it's also pretty awesome. I'm not going to complain. It definitely extends beyond that as well. The Titans are heavily based on Norse gods and deities. For example, two of the Titans we learn of in Northrend are Loken and Freya, based on Loki and Freyja. It extends beyond that, but those are the biggest examples. You'll see a lot of it.
I heard we were going to interact with Arthas a lot in Northrend. Is that true?
Yes. Very much yes. Wrath doesn't pull any punches as far as thrusting you right into the story. You'll be running into the Lich King very quickly after you reach Northrend shores. The Alliance starts seeing him a bit earlier if you quest in the Howling Fjord, but it evens out.
Tirion Fordring is an Alliance town in Wrath, but he was a neutral character before. Does the Horde get the shaft or something? We want to interact with him, too.
