Flashcast 01: Just Dance, It’ll Be Okay

In this flashcast, we talk about what Earthen Ringers are planning for Patch 6.1, Lore Challenges, and the Earthen Ring S.E.L.F.I.E. Contest.  

Between each regular episode, we’re pumping out flashcasts. They’re much shorter and therefore quicker to produce than our normal episodes. We use flashcasts to sum up recent server happenings and what’s coming up in future podcast episodes.

Flashcast 01 Lore Challenge: Which mentor/student pair has names that, when translated, mean the complete opposite of each other?

  • Rezar Greywalker

    I feel like my answer to this Lore challenge will be wrong (because titles, not names, and not quite *complete* opposite), but it’s all I can come up with because I have clearly not read enough external literature: Shan’do Cenarius and Thero’shan Malfurion.

    • erlorecast

      Kanta guessed the same. It’s a great guess but not the one we’re looking for. Hint: Not titles but the character names.

  • Cranktopple

    Just wanted to say that I am in fact not Togglebutton, but I’m flattered. :). I’m the OTHER person on ER who plays gnomes.

    • Cranktopple

      And, I don’t have it this time.

      • erlorecast

        This is Ari: Apparently I truly am a butt. Sorry for the mistake! You are indeed another people on ER who plays gnomes. Perhaps we should have a gnome-centered episode.

  • Thrak’garr

    Part of me is saying ‘Sergeant’ and Thrall from Christie Golden’s “Lord of the Clans”.

    • erlorecast

      Great guess! I suppose they nearly are opposites but they’re not the mentor/student pair we’re looking for.

  • Jacob Kuntzman

    Khadgar & Medivh – Khadgar means “trust,” and Medivh means “keeper of secrets.”

    • erlorecast

      That is correct! Khadgar’s name is dwarven and means “trust.” Medivh’s name means “keeper of secrets” in Thalassian. The answer is buried in Khadgar’s Wowpedia page: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Khadgar

      Correct! Khadgar’s name is dwarven and means “trust.” Medivh’s name means “keeper of secrets” in Thalassian. The answer is buried in Khadgar’s Wowpedia page: http://wow.gamepedia.com/Khadgar
