Olwenn and I dedicate this episode's Scholomance segment to a deep dive on retcons, tracing the concept back through comic book history, Tolkien, and oral storytelling before turning it toward WoW's own retcons, especially around Shadowlands and Sylvanas. We also cover our current raid progress toward 5/9 mythic, break down what's coming in Sporefall and Mythic Flex, and get into the worlds of Val and Naigtal.
