Episode 14: Ashenvale
If Stonetalon wins Most Improved, its sister zone of Ashenvale probably wins Biggest Downgrade! In this episode we talk about lore, expansiveness, tone, imperialism, Lovecraft references and more as we dive into Ashenval Forest, to some the quintessential Night Elf zone!

Episode 13: Stonetalon Mountains
So; the reason we skip a number is because we screwed up and lost the recording for Redridge Mountains. There, admittedly, isn't too much to talk about for the vanilla version, and the Cata version was...divisive between us, which it is a shame to miss. Thankfully, I think Stonetalon was a lot more fun to talk about here, and I'm excited to talk about another really solid war zone. In Cataclysm. The vanilla version...well.

Episode 6: Tirisfal Glades
And on our appropriately spooky upload date, Ari, Torin, and Eowyn go to go to the undead starting zone of Tirisfal Glades, discussing tone issues, atmosphere, a sense of what it means to be, and the entire existential nonsense behind being a person-who-isn't-a-person-anymore. We're finally done with starting zones for now!

Episode 3: Elwynn Forest
Apologies for the long wait for this one; we've had a few difficulties finding the time due to end-of-summer stuff.
In our third episode, Ari, Torin, and Eowyn tackle Elwynn Forest, the human starting zone, and possibly the least changed by the Cataclysm expansion. Discussions of conspiracism, atmosphere, and horrible murlocs exist in this episode of WoWed By Zones.
