World of Warcraft: Patch 9.2.5 Secretly Introduces a Mystery Surrounding the Maw Broker Ve'nari

gamerant.com:

World of Warcraft recently released Patch 9.2.5, which is likely to be the final content patch before Dragonflight’s pre-patch event. Hidden within the World of Warcraft update is a mystery which leads to the ultimate fate of Ve’nari, the enigmatic broker players met during Shadowlands.

Ve’nari is a renegade broker World of Warcraft players rely on during their adventures in the Maw. She was one of the stars of Shadowlands, in no small part due to the stellar performance of voice actress Aysha Selim, who also depicted Ana Amari in Overwatch.

However, players noticed a curious detail after the recent World of Warcraft patch. Ve’nari was no longer in her sanctum within the Maw–a translucent purple echo of her seemed to have replaced her, offering the same services as the real broker, and an explanation as to her absence. If players explore Zereth Mortis, however, they find Ve’nari’s charred corpse, seemingly destroyed in an accident. The mystery goes deeper, however. Characters trained in Shadowlands Engineering have a special dialogue while examining the body, which reveals strange notches and details about it which don’t add up. Many players believed this was evidence Ve’nari faked her own death.

It seems those players are likely correct. World of Warcraft dataminers have since discovered a hidden mail message which appears to be Ve’nari, explaining she indeed faked her death, and is now travelling with Xolartios–the Eternal Traveller NPC who gave the Shadowlands Collector’s Edition quest for the special armor transmog he wore. This letter has yet to appear in game, however, so it is unknown where or if it will be used.
