Talk:Day of the Dragon
From WoWWiki
The continuity placement of the book
There's something I've wondered about. Was Day of the Dragon always meant to take place after the events of Beyond the Dark Portal? Looking at the book and the continuity that was present when it came out, it would seem to indicate that it took place prior to then. In the book, the Alliance has yet to split up, and the Dragonmaw clan is still active. But in the manual for BTDP, it says that the Alliance split up before then, and that the Dragonmaw clan had been captured. It's mentioned in the book that the Kirin Tor took out Deathwing, but it doesn't say when or where it happened.
To clarify, I'm aware that the official continuity is that it takes place after BTDP. I'm just wondering if that was always the case. --Austin P 18:30, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
I'm not sure its ever been explained why timelines starting with manual of Warcraft III placed the book after the events of TFT.Baggins 18:32, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
- well...from what I know...accourding to the Pen&Paer sourcebooks: Draenor blows up and Ner'zhul become lichking: year 7. DotD: year 8--Maibe 19:04, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
Initially, I thought it was an error on Blizzard's part. But then I found out how suprisingly unclear Knaak was on the true indentity of Cenarius' mother, and wondered if it was a mistake he made. I don't know if anyone ever asked him, I just wanted to make sure. --Austin P 09:01, 15 April 2007 (EDT)
- Basically there is an issue, and possibly a retcon, Let's continue this talk over in Talk:Alexstrasza.Baggins 00:49, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
Night of the Dragon?
http://sff.net/people/knaak/Novels.html << Apparently Richard A. Knaak is writing something related to DotD. I just thought it'd be interesting to point out.
He has a thing for dragons, I see. --Austin P 06:45, 5 May 2007 (EDT)
- Should this be added in the main article? The title and the placement on the bibliography page make it pretty obvious that this is a sequel to DotD. --DarthMuffin 03:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Nah. It'll involve dragons, but it isn't necessarily a direct sequel to the events in DotD. --Austin P 12:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
