WoW Lore

As a foreign player I love reading quest and actually hearing the animations of the game. It not only helps me learn the english language but also learn more about the history of the game. World of Warcraft has by far a very rich story. Wanting to learn more of the lore i began searching the internet for sites that explain it with more detail. I found out that there are actually books with short stories of some major events and important characters in the game. I will give a quick overview of the first book i recommend and will try not to provide any spoilers on the way.

The first book is called The Warcraft Archive and it consist of four great short stories on the lore of Warcarft. I actually had to order it from London since in Spain they did not carry it. But i'm sure you can get it at a major bookstore chain or order it online.

The first story is called Day of the Dragon and its about an adventure with Rhonin which is the current leader of the Kirin Tor and can be located in Dalaran. This first story is one to wet your appetite and will truly reveal the depth that Blizzard put into their character and their past and what makes them tick.

The second story is called Lord of the Clans and is by far an awesome story. Its about the rise of the Warchief Thrall. From birth to his rising in the horde this story has it all, action, adventure, even some emotional parts that may get some readers choked up. It is a very interesting story and a must read for any avid WoW player.

The third is called The Last Guardian and is about Medivh. Its basically a history about Karazhan and about how one of the greatest spellcaster handles that responsibility and what absolute power can do to one person. There are some interesting parts to the story but it takes a while to get going with a lot of pauses so I will suggest to just give it time it does get good and gives great information on the history of Azeroth.

Lastly is the final short story called Of blood and honor. This is a story about Tirion Fordring. Not know him? you will after this story. Its by far a great example to not judge a book by its cover. Its a relatively short story compare to the rest of the book but one that really puts a lot of information and leaves you thinking afterwards.

Well there you have it my first recommendation if you have any please feel free to drop a line.
Happy Gaming.
