World of Warcraftrecently released Patch 9.2.5, which is likely to be the final content patch beforeDragonflight’spre-patch event. Hidden within theWorld of Warcraftupdate is a mystery which leads to the ultimate fate of Ve’nari, the enigmatic broker players met duringShadowlands.
Ve’nari is a renegade brokerWorld of Warcraftplayers rely on during their adventures in the Maw. She was one of the stars ofShadowlands, in no small part due to the stellar performance of voice actress Aysha Selim, who also depictedAna Amari inOverwatch.

However, players noticed a curious detailafter the recentWorld of Warcraftpatch. 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 inShadowlandsEngineering 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 Warcraftdataminers 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–theEternal Traveller NPC who gave theShadowlandsCollector’s Edition questfor 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.
Players were relieved to hear Ve’nari is still around. ThoughShadowlandsitself received mixed reviews, Ve’nari was almost universally loved by players, and they would have been disappointed if such a popular character was killed off-screen. Considering the ominous discoveries her fellow broker Firim made in Zereth Mortis, it is entirely possible Ve’nari will reappear, along with the mysterious Eternal Traveller, ifWorld of Warcraftreturns to the cosmic plotlines ofShadowlandsafterDragonflight.
SomeWorld of Warcraftfans are less charmed by the easter egg, however. Because the clues were locked behind a profession, many players may fall for Ve’nari’s trick and believe she is well and truly dead. However, by listening to the broker’s own list of rules, one can fathom her scheme even without engineering: have an escape plan, keep a low profile, and concealment is everything. Hopefully the datamined mail can be sent to those players to clear up this confusion.
