Wow lore

We have moved to Warcraft Wiki. Click here for information and the new URL. Lore in the Warcraft series of games is a term used for "background story". The use of the term stems from Blizzard's snippets of "lore" for many of the multiplayer maps in their Warcraft RTS games, although how much of it has a relationship to the main Warcraft universe storyline is unclear. Canon is a term oft-used to refer to official lore, specifically the fictional accounts in the Warcraft universe. It is used to define which lore should be considered a genuine part of the universe's history. The Warcraft 'canon' comprises those works and sources of information considered to be authoritative and representative of the 'true' or official history of the Warcraft universe. Therefore, 'canon' or 'canonical' lore is that which is part of this body of work, and is thus considered part of the true history of the Warcraft universe. In contrast, 'non-canon' information, while often containing characters and depicting events from canon sources, is not necessarily a reliable source of official information regarding the Warcraft universe. An example of non-canon lore might be a piece of fan fiction which introduces new characters or events, or expands upon the background of a known character such as Thrall. Characters, events and items from non-canon sources do not necessarily exist in the official Warcraft universe. Non-canon versions of known events may differ substantially from official sources. Non-canon sources frequently feature characters from canon lore, but their exploits in these sources are not considered canon.

Blizzard is, publicly now, making a point about changes to the story team and how that will hopefully improve going forward, while also potentially making some moves that they are talking about less publicly that might greatly improve the lore, although talking about them will be tough and require some humanity and compassion. Firstly, a disclaimer — this is just me spitballing. Genuinely, I think that the funny thing with art is that sometimes people see beauty where others see trash, and it is that spectrum of opinion and the discussion around it that I enjoy. WoW expansions tend to launch with well-made overarching narratives that tie in the events of us getting to business in the new areas and uncovering the base plot beats, big bad, and then dealing with the initial threat. After that, the story kind of tends to either meander or launch into the real meat of the baseline expansion story, which is a different problem I dislike that the experience new players get in the same content years later is often the launch experience alone which means they never get to wrap-up that story. What mechanism triggers that? Why did the Aspects never mention this and now all of a sudden have so much to say about the Isles?

Warcraft's lore is intimidatingly complex. It's a chronicle that spans millennia, from the dawn of time and to World of Warcraft's latest patch. Unless you've taken the time to read every book or sift through the wikis, it's not always easy to understand what's going on, who certain characters are, or why the hell it even matters. That's a shame because the lore, while intimidating, is one of the richer mythos in gaming. Fortunately, Reddit user SinanDira has a solution. WoW Lore TLDR is a website that takes the entire backstory of Warcraft and condenses it into digestible bullet points that you can quickly sift through. It's like a really fancy Cliff Notes version of Warcraft with ingeniously laid out elements that further explain the plot points that you care about.

The following is a guide to all canon novels, manga, comics, and short stories related to World of Warcraft listed in chronological order. For frame of reference, all material is sorted by the game title and expansion in which it takes place. This version of Draenor is a different reality than our own, so the timeline it follows and the events that occur on the world do not tie in to the timeline established by pre-existing works — these short stories and comics exist separately. Please note that Warcraft movie material is not canon within official game lore.

Having said that, I think that the game is going to be on a different footing if Danuser is no longer writing for the franchise, and I think that it could be a net-positive to the game. For other timelines, see Timeline disambiguation. That is, he wants to take the orcs who were trapped on Azeroth back under his control. World of Warcraft. Like Liked by 1 person.

Wowpedia Explore. This should not be considered as an official timeline but should be as accurate as, and more complete than, any timeline that Blizzard has provided.

They want things to work smoothly, not have a bunch of pain with new folks wanting to run off in a new direction. The only exceptions are when one is denoting RPG information, or when verifiable public quotes from actual first-party Blizzard employees such as Chris Metzen are allowed in articles, and then only if there are direct links to the sources of the quotes. Talking about the Draenei story has been done to death, but honestly, I think it sticks out because it was a place where, instead of wiggling out or denying the mistake, Metzen just said he goofed but felt that the goof served the lore better and explained the scope of the change. Like Liked by 1 person. The BFA launch story was really good, but anything that came after felt like a muddled mess to get into. As it is, they hire people who fit into the way they already do things. Meanwhile, after being pivotal in opening the way to Zaralek, Iridikron has fucked off, the character who was supposed to be the main focus of the whole Incarnates and the true threat, and similarly Vyranoth is just straight-up missing until I think that gives the new lore a chance to breathe and to find solid footing, and I think that the approach Metzen discussed at Blizzcon, looking at the loose threads of the era of his successors as the next major hook, is a good one. It mutated them into what we know as Night Elves. So they were sealed up in the earth and the generals were banished to the elemental plane. Non-canon versions of known events may differ substantially from official sources. At what point in the story did the Blizzard's narrative lose you? The army was led by Khadgar - that guy you see in the middle of Shat! Early into Dragonflight, on December 15th , it was announced that Chris Metzen, original writer of much of the Warcraft universe, was back in a limited fashion working as a advisor to help the team with Dragonflight. Until we get something substantive, this is all based on rumors, and the rumor is that Steve Danuser is no longer working on World of Warcraft.
