This week we’re covering World of Warcraft: The Burdens of Shaohao.

World of Warcraft is one of those things I wish I had time to explore. I’m sure I’d love it and I’m certain it would completely overpower all my time management and I would happily exchange it for sleep. Since I have yet to find a way to make it a part of my life without letting it own me, I’m happy to enjoy this six part web series on last Emperor of the Pandaren, Emperor Shaohao, entiled The Burdens of Shaohao. It is beautifully animated by Laurel Austin and features the voice of Jim Cummings (Darkwing Duck) as the narrator.

Here’s the introduction for the Prelude episode.

In a new series of six dramatic shorts, we travel back to the time of the last pandaren emperor, a golden age before the land was enveloped by mist.

Ten thousand years ago in the ancient empire of Pandaria, Emperor Shaohao asked the Great Waterspeaker to peer into his future. What did the rippling waters foretell? Journey into Pandaria’s history in “The Burdens of Shaohao Prelude: The Vision.”
