To prepare players for the Elven conflicts arriving in WoW: Midnight, developer Blizzard Entertainment released a new short story ‘The Void Between’. It focuses on the uneasy relationship between the Blood Elf Grand Magister Rommath and Void Elf Magister Umbric.
However, before they settled into their current positions of leadership and power and before Silvermoon fell from Arthas Menethil, they were friends studying together in Dalaran.
“Through the span of their long lives, former Magister Umbric and Grand Magister Rommath forged an unlikely friendship. As their kingdom faced a series of trials unlike any other, Rommath hardened into the person he’d always been, while Umbric became something new. With word of a new threat rising against Silvermoon, Umbric must return from exile to offer his old friend an alliance.”
Join Grand Magister Rommath for a special fireside telling of The Void Between, and find out if these old friends can forge that alliance ahead of World of Warcraft: Midnight.

In other WoW news, the retail version of the game got a new hotfix:
Characters
- The XP buff from the Warband Mentors: The War Within set of achievements should now be applying correctly on characters below level 80.
- Corrected an issue that incorrectly enabled legacy content scaling for characters who were leveling up in Dragonflight.
Classes:
- Nerfs to Unholy Death Knights. Developers’ notes: We’re looking into the throughput imbalance for Unholy Death Knight in the pre-expansion update. These changes will not impact 12.0.1, as Unholy received substantial updates between 12.0.0 and 12.0.1.
- Mage: Frostbolt is now located in the Frost Mage section of the Spellbook for easier access.
Delves
- Fixed a bug causing Brann’s experience bar to also mention Valeera.
Dungeons and Raids
- Fixed a bug preventing some encounters from progressing through their stages correctly (e.g. the Neltharion encounter in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible).
- Resolved an issue causing some creatures in Nerub’ar Palace and Liberation of Undermine to have very low health.
Housing
- Elegant Elven Barrel can now be added as decor.
- Lightly Broken Fences found around the neighborhood can now be repaired.
Mage Tower
Developers’ notes: With the Midnight pre-expansion update now live, we’re adjusting enemy health in several Mage Tower challenges to bring them back toward their intended pacing and difficulty.
