Overview: It’s been amazing to watch the Warcraft universe grow and take shape over the past twenty years or so. What started out as a relatively simple game setting has become a lasting, vibrant world in its own right, one that is visited daily by millions of players from all around the globe.
The world of Azeroth has been shaped by hundreds of craftsmen, designers, artists, and writers since its earliest inception. It is the product of many talented hands and many passionate voices, all bent toward creating a world so rich in detail, theme, and characterization that … well … you’d want to pull on your +6 Boots of Butt-Kicking and give your all to defend it.
At the core of it all lies a real sense of … history. The overarching story of Warcraft is a vast, intertwining patchwork of myths, legends, and world-shaking events that ultimately contextualize the players’ heroic efforts in the ever-expanding world they share.
Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
—Twenty years of storytelling. Tens of thousands of moments, characters, races, and monsters, all forming dense strata of concepts and ideas over time. This book—this chronicle—is meant to bring it all together and reinforce the overarching narrative that lies at Warcraft’s heart. Writing this was an opportunity to unite the frayed story ends and smooth out the rough edges of this fictional history.
—Ultimately, this grand (and super nerdy) editorial undertaking gives us an amazing perspective on Warcraft’s recurring themes and conflicts:
- ~How societies often clash before seeing a common humanity in each other …
~How earnest, well-intentioned heroes can often succumb to temptations of power …
~How failing to take responsibility for mistakes of the past can lead to calamity in the present …
These are just a few of the motifs that form the common thread of Azeroth’s great history, expressed across disparate cultures, factions, and individuals over mythic spans of time. Cycles within cycles …
It’s from this top-down view that we can more clearly see the dangerous yet glorious horizons ahead. And even in the face of all this … history … I’m fairly certain that the adventure is only just beginning!
