Winter Veil Lore Unveiled in New WoW Video

World of Warcraft's Feast of Winter Veil: A Lore-Filled Holiday Celebration

The annual World of Warcraft Feast of Winter Veil, a beloved in-game event mirroring real-world Christmas celebrations, returns with fresh rewards and activities. This year's festivities include new collectible items, gold, and other surprises.

A recently released lore video, a collaboration between Blizzard and PlatinumWoW, delves into the rich history of Winter Veil. The video explores its origins, weaving together Dwarven myths of Greatfather Winter (a Titan-forged giant), Tauren traditions of spiritual renewal and gratitude, and the modern commercialization of the holiday by the Goblin-run Smokeywood Pastures.

Metzen the Reindeer's Misadventures:

No Winter Veil lore is complete without mentioning Metzen the Reindeer, named after former Blizzard executive Chris Metzen. This unfortunate reindeer has endured three kidnappings: by pirates and Dark Iron Dwarves in Classic WoW, and by the Grinch in the current iteration. The video concludes with a humorous nod to Metzen's voice acting legacy, with Metzen the Reindeer expressing gratitude in Thrall's voice.

Blizzard's Content Creator Partnerships:

This isn't the first collaboration between Blizzard and PlatinumWoW. Previous partnerships have resulted in lore videos covering various aspects of the Warcraft universe, showcasing Blizzard's commitment to engaging with content creators.
