Want to know more about the lore of ''World of Warcraft''? Although the game doesn't require any prior knowledge of Warcraft lore to enjoy, you may appreciate the broader understanding of the setting and characters in the game that you will gain from learning about the lore. Here are some resources that are available:

==History of Warcraft==
āˆ’
A Sentry of the [[Barrow Deeps]], Naisha was first lieutenant of [[Maiev Shadowsong]] and the Watchers. She survived [[Tyrande | Tyrande's]] initial raid of the Barrow Deeps, and emerged with Maiev to hunt down [[Illidan]] after he was set loose.

āˆ’
Naisha and Maiev followed Illidan to the port of [[Nendis]], where they encountered fishing villages pillaged and ruined, and mutilated bodies strewn about the debris. Some thought that perhaps demons did it, and Maiev responded that they couldn't imagine what horrors Illidan had called to his side. Naisha fought through Illidan's amassed forces of satyrs, and even their newest enemy, the naga. And to her horror, Illidan climbed aboard a ship at Nendis and fled across the sea, leaving his naga to destroy what ships remained. But Naisha and the [[Watcher]]s killed the naga before they could scuttle all the transports.

===Chapter I: Mythos ===
āˆ’
Naisha travelled with Maiev into the sea, and landed upon the [[Broken Isles]]. Naisha was confused, for though they had headed due east as Maiev had stipulated, these islands had not been on the map, but Maiev recognized the strange ruins - it was [[Suramar]], the ancient homeland of her mistress Maiev before the [[Great Sundering]]. Naisha was in awe, for what sort of power could raise islands from the sea floor?

Naisha and Maiev [[The Broken Isles|battled]] through Illidan's guards and found him rushing into the [[Tomb of Sargeras]]. Maiev was quick to follow him, and Naisha was quick on her heels, but within the tomb, they found strange runes scrawled in blood upon the walls. Maiev understood them, for they were orcish, and related the tale of [[Gul'dan]]. Naisha noticed that he continually referenced an "eye," and Maiev guessed that it was a demonic artifact, and that perhaps Illidan sought it now.

Naisha and Maiev tracked Illidan to the inner core of the Tomb, where he had found the [[Eye of Sargeras]] and promised to make Maiev his first victim, by using the Eye to bring the Tomb down around them. After a cave in, they were immediately cut off from the rest of the Tomb, which was already sinking and collapsing. Maiev's powers would spare her, but the Watchers would be left behind.

Revision as of 18:53, 6 June 2011

The History of Warcraft, also known as the Warcraft universe, is a comprehensive account of lore created by Blizzard as background information to the World of Warcraft universe, and is made up of the entirety of Blizzard's published record so far.[1] The full text is available on the official World of Warcraft site. Additionally, most of this material can be read within the game itself as in-game books.

Want to know more about the lore of World of Warcraft? Although the game doesn't require any prior knowledge of Warcraft lore to enjoy, you may appreciate the broader understanding of the setting and characters in the game that you will gain from learning about the lore. Here are some resources that are available:

Since the release of the first Warcraft game, the lore of the Warcraft universe has been evolving and expanding at an incredible rate. Today, Warcraft lore is spread across four games and three expansions as well as a number of novels, a pen-and-paper roleplaying game, and even a manga series. Now you can find all there is to know about Warcraft in one official source of all things Warcraft: The Warcraft Encyclopedia. In time we hope it will grow to be the ultimate resource for all your Warcraft story and lore needs.

Lack of recent update activity (as of early 2008) seems to indicate that Blizzard has either put this project on hold or temporarily removed resources committed to expanding it.
