Warcraft Books

[dim]

According to: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/timeline.html

This is the official chronological order to read them in.

• War of the Ancients Trilogy: The Well of Eternity
• War of the Ancients Trilogy: The Demon Soul
• War of the Ancients Trilogy: The Sundering
• The Last Guardian
• Day of the Dragon
• Lord of the Clans
• Of Blood and Honor
• The Sunwell Trilogy: Dragon Hunt
• The Sunwell Trilogy: Shadows of Ice
• The Sunwell Trilogy: Ghostlands
• Cycle of Hatred
• Rise of the Lich King

I hope it helps.

Any other order provided is purely a personal opinion by said poster.

what you say on this list you made, and whats on that link....is totaly different and definetly not following the story.

what Izhara said, its pretty much the right order of books to read.

I may have missed off Rise of the Horde, but other than that, the list is EXACTLY as per the Timeline.

Any other missing books (Night of the Dragon, Beyond the Dark Portal etc) i would assume have been retconned and therefore not included as OFFICIAL warcraft lore.

-EDIT- Updated original post with years and Rise of the Horde.

Any other missing books (Night of the Dragon, Beyond the Dark Portal etc) i would assume have been retconned and therefore not included as OFFICIAL warcraft lore.

More probably it's due to the fact that they weren't out yet when that timeline was last updated.

It doesn't include Night of the Dragon or any of the comics other than the Sunwell Trilogy, so I think that would be the case.

I mean, why would they retcon books that don't contradict any new lore?

Also, they've built a lot of WotLK lore from Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, and it's not on the list. So I guess it must have been retconned, eh? :
