What have Turalyon and Alleria been doing all these years? Almost 2 hours of WoW audio drama provide an answer. Here you can listen to the official Blizzard game in German.
Patch 7.3 of World of Warcraft revolves entirely around Argus, the Burning Legion, and the Army of the Light. The main characters are Illidan, Turalyon, and Alleria. However, the latter two had been missing for a long time, and nothing has been heard from them since the strategy game Warcraft II.
The fact that they now appear in the game “suddenly” and lead the battle against the Legion surprises some players, and they wonder: What have the two actually done in the meantime? How did they come to the Army of the Light, and what really happened after the closure of the Dark Portal?
Blizzard is now providing an answer – and it’s quite elaborate.
In the three-part audio drama Thousand Years of War, Blizzard lets us participate in what Turalyon and Alleria experienced over the years. It not only explains how they came to the Army of the Light but also how the opposing forces of the cosmos act in World of Warcraft. Anyone with 2 hours to spare – since that’s how long the audio dramas are – should definitely check this out as a lore fan.

Thousand Years of War Part 2: The Emerald Star
Thousand Years of War Part 3: Shadows and Light
Even “original language enthusiasts” should give the audio drama in German a chance, as David Nathan is once again featured as the narrator (the voice of Johnny Depp, Christian Bale).
So if you need a little something to listen to besides daily farming or world quest marathons, you should definitely check out the story – it’s worth it.
Cortyn says: As long as Blizzard continues to hire David Nathan as the narrator for the audio dramas, they could easily tell the dramatic story of Hogger from Elwynn Forest. I am definitely excited that Blizzard is releasing this story just “between the patches” and not as a prelude to a new expansion. This clearly shows (to me) how much they love their own story and the Warcraft universe. More of this, please!
Blizzard has previously released audio dramas – namely the backstory of Legion.
