Welcome to Know Your Lore, where each week Alex Ziebart brings you a tasty little morsel of lore to wrap your mind around. Sweet, sweet lore. Mmmm.

What the Soulflayer actually is is largely a mystery. He's a god, certainly, but Azeroth has many flavors of gods and demigods.

Specifically, Hakkar might be the son of an Old God.Continue reading Know Your Lore: Hakkar the Soulflayer Permalink | Email this | Comments
