How will WoW end? – Yes, this is a 2016 post!

June 23, 2016

I have patient readers. And I thank you. So, here I sit, ready to ride write again. But the ultimate question is… about what? But more on that later. You’re here to read about WoW. What is there to say? WoW has gone far beyond its predicted lifespan. At one point, there was a master […]

Varian Wrynn – Overpowered?

August 22, 2012

Earlier this year, a fundamental shift occurred within Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind. Within the novel “Wolfheart”, King Wrynn was bestowed with the physical power of a demigod, making him to warriors what Thrall is to shaman, or Malfurion Stormrage to druids. So what does this mean? Is he simply now overpowered? A Knaak branded […]

Azeroth – Is it running out of zones?

March 28, 2012

What’s on the other side of Azeroth? For a long time, the answer has been, “Nothing but ocean.” Recently though, this may have changed. Game-wise, Azeroth is running out of space, and there are only so many islands that can emerge from the fog before it becomes cliche. But this isn’t just about zones… it […]

Thrall – What will happen to him?

March 9, 2012

He’s arguably the most famous character in WoW’s lore, but in Cataclysm, he was given a complete overhaul. Chris Metzen has all but admitted Thrall is his favorite character, “It’s not that I’m an Alliance or Horde fan; I’m a Thrall fan.” So, why all the recent changes? From a writer’s perspective, it’s obvious Metzen […]

Sith Purebloods – Why did they Disappear?

February 16, 2012

It’s easily one of the greatest mysteries in Star Wars lore…”What happened to the Sith species?” This then begs the question, does SWTOR offer us any clues? Yes. It does. But don’t get too excited. The Sith were already “extinct” in Darth Bane’s era, so Lucasfilm still has a window of some 2500 years to […]

Nazgrel – Future Warchief of the Horde?

January 31, 2012

In WarCraft lore, there is an orc military commander who is descended from a famous orc war-hero. He is revered among his people, has served as a close advisor to Thrall, and there is even a named axe that has been passed down through his line. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Except it isn’t Garrosh– it’s […]

A Question for my Readers: SWTOR?

November 30, 2011

So I have a question for all of you… If you’ve been here awhile then you know Loregy is technically a site about game lore in general; I just happen to talk about WoW most of the time since I know that’s what you enjoy. For the past few months though, I’ve been trying out […]

Wrathion, the new Earth-Warder?

November 15, 2011

He’s the most potentially awesome character WarCraft has introduced in years. Wrathion, the Black Prince, the last black dragon on Azeroth. An impressive title, but that’s not the best part. The real kicker? The Red Dragonflight used Titan technology on him, before he was hatched, to purify him. So unlike Deathwing, unlike any other black […]

Mists of Pandaria Lore

October 24, 2011

I’ll be updating this post as we learn more Mists of Pandaria lore, but for now, there are a few things we can surmise. First and foremost, Blizzard is obviously further sub-dividing the originally expected “Maelstrom” expansion. This is a very big deal. Why? Simply put, it could mean we’ll have not five, but six […]
