The Complete History of the world of WoW!

[ArPharazon]

Recently, Blizzard has put up a large history section, which includes in full detail the history of Azeroth and it's universe, from the beginning until the beginning of WoW. The last page has not been completed at the time of this post, but will probably contain all history between TFT and WoW.

Also, it lists the games and novels about Azeroth, handy for collectors.

Here's the link:

Any comments on the history are welcome in this thread.

Good reading :}

They seemed to have put Thrall's father in there as Durotan. I was sure it was Durotar, the same as their new land, as it's said the land is named after his father. Guess it's slightly different in the "official" version.

Thanks for putting this up, Phar :}

That comment made me thinking, and I decided to do a bit of research, coming to this conclusion.
Durotar was the name of the land, and it was named after Durotan, father of Thrall.
In the second cinematic of RoC, Medivh adressed Thrall as the son of Durotan, not of Durotar. And no, I didn't hear that wrong, as the subtitle gave an -n.
Also, in the history, the land is still named Durotar. I hope this clears up the situation. Just because the land was named after Thrall's father, it doesn't mean they have to be exactly the same.

Aye, Phar, but I thought I recalled reading in the RoC book that his father's name was Durotar. Probably my mistake, but I'll look it up later.
