The problem with lore as it is with WarCraft, or even StarCraft, is we’re dealing with a franchise.  With every new title the lore grows deeper, more robust, more confusing.  There’s simply more to keep track of, and if the guy in charge of it all can’t even remember who’s still alive, then how can [...]

His statue stands in the most esteemed position outside  of Stormwind.  He was one of the original five founding knights of The Silver Hand.  He was Anduin Lothar’s right hand man in the Second War.  But perhaps most impressive of all, it was he who defeated Orgrim Doomhammer, and led the original Alliance expedition into [...]

Deathwing has a secret… I doubt this is something that will be revealed in Cataclysm.  In fact, I doubt it’ll ever be openly revealed at all.  Virtually every great story has subtext.  You may have the plot, the story at face-value, but the subtext is what’s *really* going on. Deathwing has a secret, and while [...]

I’ve had a number of people ask me for a good place to read up on Cataclysm Lore.  My standard answer is wowpedia.org, but the honest answer is, “There is no all encompassing Cataclysm Lore library yet.” Why?  Because there’s just so much of it. And this ties into something else…

[October 2011 Update: Now that Mists of Pandaria has been officially announced, we can make an even better guess as to what will come after it. So far, we've been correct with story progression: Vanilla Outland Northrend Emerald Dream Maelstrom Argus That said, Blizzard threw us a couple of curve balls.  The Emerald Dream expansion was released as [...]

Alright, so today we had Friday’s Lore Panel; did we learn anything? Oh yes. You can read the full transcript here. But you don’t come here for a link to mmo-champion.  What you want is speculation.  So… what can we derive from what was said?  Read on.

“What happens to Thrall?”, it’s the one question I’ve been asked most about the new expansion.  Normally with a question like this, I refer the person  to wowwiki.com, but in this case… let’s speculate. First though, bear with me… I have a rant, but I promise you it’ll tie back to Thrall.

So I imagine this is the post many of you have been waiting for. I’ve been playingCataclysm for awhile now and I definitely have something to say. I also have a confession to make. There’s a reason why I haven’t been posting much recently, and the answer is ashamedly that I’ve been a bit of [...]

This isn’t exactly lore related, but let’s face it, a lot of us are fascinated by the changes Blizzard has had to make to WoW’s Chinese game client in order to get past China’s censors. As we saw with The Burning Crusade, one of China’s biggest no-no’s is showing bones. This of course, should make the [...]

Garrosh in Cataclysm

July 26, 2010

So beta is upon us.  The NDA has been lifted, and those of us who have been playing are finally able to speak.  Of course, this is a game lore discussion site, so it helps if a number of us have had a chance to check out the content. Suffice to say, spoilers abound.  I’ll [...]
