Are there any books that go into detail on the history of Azeroth? I'm getting really into this just by reading this little thread thing and I want to know more. *smiles, peace sign*

If anyone could give me book titles/authors that'd be way awesome!

Lord of the Clans is a MUST read.

Cycle of Hatreds is a big lore filler, but many say that it's poorly written in comparison to the previous great book.

Lord of the Clans is a follow up to Day of the Dragon, by Richard Knaap. I'm normally not a fan of Knaap, but DoD is a good read. I also have Lord of the Clans to read after (I have yet to hear anyone say anything bad about LoC)!

The World of Warcraft has a lot of books out about WoW. There's also the Well of Eternity series that deals with the first war and the summoning of the Burning Legion.

to answer your question:

no, there's no big history book on Azeroth.

graphic novels not comics. some would argue they are the same thing, but they aren't, and those people need a smacking.

as for history, check out the in-game books too.

Thanks for being so helpful! Going to the library later and I hope I can find some of those books. *smiles*

If you like the in-game books but hate looking for them, pick up the EPHEMERAL mod. It will allow you to "collect" the books to read at your leisure.

That is why i love WotC. They codified everything so that people know exactly what is going on. Blizzard needs to do that. Put out a PHB or a Lore book.

QFT. Things would be a lot clearer if there were one resource including event timelines.

Or if you are lazy, someone has already done all that work and compiled it here:

Pretty much every in game document is there for your reading pleasure..

Okay, stop with the thread necromancy. Seriously. This topic is over a year old.
