So I’ve had a little fun diving into the histories and analogs of Azeroth, and I’m going to joke that it’s in preparation for the new Archeology secondary tradeskill, but that’s not really it at all. I’m probably one of Christ Metzen’s biggest fans, and I take every opportunity available to me to explore his [...]
So in keeping with last week’s discussion about legendaries, I wanted to take the time to answer a question that I get a lot even now, and a question that I’ve been getting regularly since Warcraft III. Most everyone knows that it’s Illidan that carries the Warglaives of Azzinoth, and most everyone knows what they [...]
So with six shards remaining in my quest for Shadowmourne, I’ve found myself reflecting on the journey so far. I know that we talked about it before–from the forging of Shadow’s Edge to the imbuement of its soul stealing essence. The Lich King’s devious whispers and the citadel itself arrayed against the would be wielder [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve had an opportunity to sit and write for you guys. Work’s kept me busy in the most interesting ways possible, and when it’s not that it’s something else, but every week I go without a lore post I feel bad that I promised I’d find the time, so this [...]
Today I wanted to talk a little less about lore and a little more about Warcraft in general, and even that’s only part of what I have in mind. With the Cataclysm Beta a fresh, unique part of my daily routine I find myself at the unavoidable point in which I ask myself the notorious [...]
The death knights of Warcraft lore have always been some of the most intriguing characters.

They have evolved from the necromantic resurrections of the slaughtered Shadow Council to the numb tacticians and generals [...]
“Before your weapon reach its full potential it must be endowed with its signature powers. First among them is unholiness. You must seek out and defeat the one called Professor Putricide, but his death is not your only goal. You must use his resources against him. Find a way to absorb his mutated slime. Use [...]
“It is against my judgment that I present you this errand, as it will likely end in your undoing. Ignore my counsel and embark on the endeavor, and I shall provide you with the knowledge and the resources to see it through. You must return to Frostmourne Cavern and recover Light’s Vengeance, Arthas’ discarded hammer. [...]
The waning days of the Second War with the Orcish Horde saw the shattering and construction of political barriers all over Azeroth. Borders stretched into areas they had previously not, and some shrank back into their nations as if the war itself had struck great wounds into the map itself. Some nations ceded from the [...]
The pale moon glides across the night sky bathing Silverpine in its dull, white glow, and the forest is alive with nightlife—creatures growl and bark and howl at the silver disc swimming amongst the stars. Wolves, bears, giant spiders and all manner of beasts and wild things populate the moonlit treescape, but beyond the trees [...]
