The whole story of the Warcraft universe listed clearly? A user took on the project – and receives a lot of positive feedback.
For those who have not been following the universe of World of Warcraft for nearly 20 years, some details of the story may be missed. However, it is not only the sheer size of the universe that poses a problem, but also the necessary revisions of existing lore over the years, known as “Retcons,” which make life difficult for newcomers.
- Was Sargeras corrupted by the Eredar?
- Or did Sargeras himself corrupt the Eredar?
- How exactly does Fel magic work again?
- Which timeline have the bronze dragons preserved and which one is lost?
There are seemingly endless questions on many topics, and much of it is irrelevant to the “main story.” Wouldn’t it be perfect if there were a single reference work that shows the complete Warcraft storyline from beginning to end?
By the way, we have prepared a somewhat more extensive version for you here:
The complete Warcraft story in a few sentences
That’s exactly what the Reddit user SinanDira thought, and he has been working for a while on a website that aims to remedy this. The complete “main story” of Warcraft reduced to as few sentences as possible, without omitting important details. If you want to find out more, you can click on an individual point and get a more detailed explanation with more details.
The only downside: The website is only available in English. However, anyone who is proficient in this language and tries to understand the story of Warcraft should definitely take a look at WoWLoreTLDR (link to the website).
Furthermore, the entire site is still under construction. Only “4 out of 5” chapters have been completed so far, so the story currently covers only all books and plots up to the launch of World of Warcraft. The last chapter, which will cover up to and including WoW: Legion, will follow in the coming weeks.
Does this overview help you? Or are you lore experts who don’t need this?
