Lore

They are the ancient Highborne dream deferred.

What do you do when you’ve lost everything?

This one line from Genn Greymane as I ran the Broken Shore has stuck with me ever since I heard it.

The Warcraft universe and its lore is pretty vast and expansive.

We’ve been relentlessly fighting the Burning Legion in demonic invasions, but in less than a week, we’ll be taking our characters to the source of our problems – the Broken Isles.

One of the complaints I and others aimed at Warlords of Draenor was that there was little of a narrative sense of anything being at stake on Draenor.

Once, when just a young lad of 17, Khadgar of the Kirin Tor -- apprentice to the great Guardian Medivh -- found himself facing down his mentor.

The skies split open.

On the Lore Watch podcast recently, the discussion fell to Gul'dan in Harbingers and how and why the Legion reached out to him.

We knew Gul'dan was evil -- he was responsible for the Shadow Council, the first Horde, the original invasion of Azeroth, and the corruption of the Orcs.
