About this eBook

World of Warcraft: Chronicle Volume 1 is a journey through an age of myth and legend, a time long before the Horde and the Alliance came to be. This definitive tome of Warcraft history reveals untold stories about the birth of the cosmos, the rise of ancient empires, and the forces that shaped the world of Azeroth and its people.

This ebook features twenty-five full-page paintings by World of Warcraft artist Peter Lee, as well as a cosmology chart, half a dozen maps charting changes through time, and other line art illustrations by Joseph Lacroix, and marks the first in a multipart series exploring the Warcraft universe; from the distant past to the modern era.

Ratings and reviews

This chronicle tells the tale of the creation of the universe of World of Warcraft, the dawn of Azeroth and ends at around the time of The Last Guardian. It is presented in a functional, almost hierarchy, setup that makes it easy for the reader to connect the dots between different stories in the world, even if the reader had no knowledge of World of Warcraft in the beginning. A great pickup for newcomers to the world of Azeroth, and a requirement for all who is indulged in the lore of World of Warcraft.

For those of you wanting to understand the complexity and richness of Warcraft Lore, this book is a must-read. Everything is intertwined and deeply connected. Ignite your nostalgia for the classic days and spark your experience of the current expansions with the underlying and beloved story that is at its core.

As someone who only entered Azeroth during the Burning Crusade this was an excellent way to discover the history and mythology behind the game. So many insights and connections made, an enjoyable experience and an enlightening read.
