World of Warcraft's Festive Feast: A Lore-Filled Celebration
World of Warcraft (WoW) recently partnered with PlatinumWoW to unveil a captivating lore video exploring the rich history of the in-game Feast of Winter Veil, WoW's equivalent of Christmas. This annual event features unique rewards and activities, regularly introducing new collectible items.
The video, narrated by PlatinumWoW, delves into the holiday's origins, weaving together Dwarven myths of Greatfather Winter—a Titan-forged giant—and Tauren traditions of gratitude and renewal. It also humorously highlights the commercialization of Winter Veil by the Goblin-run Smokeywood Pastures.
A Hilarious History
No account of Winter Veil would be complete without mentioning Metzen the Reindeer, named after former Warcraft creative director Chris Metzen. This unfortunate reindeer boasts a history of kidnappings – by pirates, Dark Iron Dwarves, and even the Grinch! The video concludes with a fittingly amusing thank you from Metzen, voiced in Thrall's iconic tone (a nod to Metzen's voice acting).
A Fruitful Collaboration
This isn't PlatinumWoW's first collaboration with Blizzard. Previous projects include lore videos on Nerubians, Vrykul, and the Scourge, among others. Blizzard's recent collaborations with various content creators, including Taliesin & Evitel and Hurricane, demonstrate a commitment to engaging community participation.
Winter Veil Festivities Continue
Players can still participate in the Feast of Winter Veil until January 5, 2024. This year's highlights include a tamable Dreaming Festive Reindeer for Hunters, new holiday transmogs, and the Grunch pet. Don't forget to check for a special gift under the tree in Orgrimmar or Stormwind!
