Surprisingly, the German Amazon page spoils a new novel. The first hint for the next WoW expansion?
In recent days, many theories and supposed hints about upcoming expansions of World of Warcraft have emerged. Now, for the first time, a solid hint seems to have appeared that surely contains a bit of truth. A paperback titled “World of Warcraft: The Troll Wars” by author Paul S. Kemp is already listed on the German Amazon page, scheduled to be released on November 13, 2017 – just after the next BlizzCon.
Only German Amazon lists the Troll Wars already
Since only the German version has been announced and there is still no sign of the English one, Amazon seems to have made a mistake there.
The content is provided as follows:
“Following the legendary War of the Ancients, a group of Night Elf mages was banished from their people. In search of new living space, they landed on the shores of Lordaeron. At that time, humans were still a loose confederation of weak tribes, while the trolls had established a true high culture. The arrival of the foreign sorcerers and their alliance with the humans laid the foundation for one of the most consequential conflicts in Azeroth’s history, known as the Troll Wars.”
The story is set in the past, shortly after the War of the Ancients.
The possibility of an upcoming troll expansion is drastically increasing. This would also explain what Blizzard meant by “that Vol’jin’s legacy still holds history.”
Above all, the troll king Rastakhan has not yet appeared in World of Warcraft. Additionally, a “great gathering of trolls” takes place approximately every 6 years – the last one occurred with Cataclysm when Zul’Gurub and Zul’Aman were revamped. And – oh wonder – that was nearly 6 years ago. A corresponding expansion could include many islands of the southern seas, such as the island of Zandalar with the troll capital Zuldazar.
At the last gathering, Patch 4.1 was the result:
However – and this should not be forgotten – it is also possible that Blizzard is simply bringing a new novel to further expand the story of Azeroth and bring the past to life. After all, the Troll Wars are far in the past and would have little to do with the “current” Azeroth.
We probably have to be patient for concrete hints of a new expansion or hope for a serious leak.
