2nd episode. Or first, if you don't consider the pilot.

I'm thinking most of you probably already know these. Especially if you have been playing in vanilla and/or you do archaeology.

Transcript:
#1
The Pandaren brewmaster Chen Stormstout is the reason Brewfest exists. Shortly before the Third War, Chen travelled to Kharanos, where he challenged Grimbooze Thunderbrew to determine who was the better brewer. The dark iron Coren Direbrew whined his way into the contest as well. Chen and Grimbooze were neck-in-neck, while Coren had only received 2 votes, which made him pretty angry. The festival has continued anually ever since.

#2
The dwarves first met humans 1800 years ago, when explorers from Gilneas and Alterac traveled to the city of Ironforge. However, the dwarves were so obsessed with their metalworking, that they failed to notice the gnomes also living in Dun Morogh until about 200 years ago.

#3
Dwarves love gambling. The novel Night of the Dragon mentions that every dwarf has a pair of dice with them at all times.

#4
The Mithril Chain of Angerforge archaeology item mentions that the General Angerforge boss in Blackrock depths is still alive. Thus Blackrock Depths may be occupied by dark iron dwarves hostile to the Alliance in lore as well as in game... or it might be just Blizzard trying to justify their laziness.

#5
The rulers of the Bronzebeard clan have a tradition where they would let certain people borrow their royal scepters. That usually meant that the scepters saw the insides of taverns, were dropped off of mountaintops, or were used to smite troggs. The scepters are changed regularly.

#6
Stonewrought Dam and Stonewrought Pass were actually designed by a dark iron dwarf, Franclorn Forgerwright. Franclorn joined his brethren in what would become the Burning Steppes during the War of the Three Hammers, where he also designed the entirety of Blackrock Spire and Blackrock Depths.
