    You know, I remember when it was first asked about Thrall have eyebrows (the only orc to have them) versus every other orc ever having the bulging, brow ridges.

    I think it was Metzen who said that since he grew up around humans they wanted to have that distinction from other orcs. However, my question is, should have there been a biological reason? Or is it one of those things that you spend X amount of time around something you end up sharing its features? HMMMMM?

    It's a lot of scanned pages and I don't want to flood the thread, but you can see the 36-page Amazon preview here.
    "We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

    It's probably an artistic choice. Female and boy orcs have eyebrows.

    Edit: so do blade masters

    Interesting bits I found about the Lich King:

    1) It says Lich King created his own Val'kyr from scratch, basing on what Vrykul told him about Odin's Val'kyr. This shuts down some popular ideas on these forums about Lich King "stealing" Val'kyr from Odin and Utgarde Keep being retconned.

    2) Direct confirmation that Lich King's personal power grows the more undead he controls.

    3) While dreadlords were supposed to be Lich King's jailers, he manipulated them from day 1 - beginning by concealing his real power and capabilities, so they don't report to Kil'jaeden, finishing in convincing them to make Arthas the Lich King's champion. Kel'thuzad was the only person/entity on Azeroth that was informed about Lich King's true intentions and plans.

    4) Muradin and dwarven expedition knew about Frostmourne because Lich King told them literally a few days earlier. Their minds and memories were then manipulated magically so they believed they discovered information about Frostmourne in their own research, and that Frostmourne was an ancient artifact, while in fact it was very new and placed there recently. It was part of the plan to lure Arthas to it.

    5) It says Arthas and his soldiers landed in Howling Fjord, but it was Dragonblight during WotLK. Retcon? Mistake? Dunno.

    6) Soul of Arthas was consumed by Frostmourne the moment he took it in his hands. He wasn't human anymore during the last mission of human campaign in WC3, but effectively undead. Lich King let him retain the free will for a little longer though, because he wanted him to kill Mal'ganis and the dreadlords to believe it wasn't the Lich King's doing.

    7) Arthas was accompanied by other death knights during his conquest of Lordareon - exact number unspecified, but implied to be many, enough to turn the tide in battles between armies. Seems like a retcon from WC3, where there was no mention of any other death knights existing (aside from Falric and Marwynn that is).

    Looks like the Chronicle does the LK real justice, playing the dreadlords for fools. Also, now it’s (re)confirmed that Arthas was setup to fall from the start and he lost himself to frostmourne. Sweet.

    YES!

    They're splitting kills up! Good. I would have disliked the whole "combined forces of Alliance/Horde". Some people will be salty about that though. I, for one, am all for this.

    Here's a huge album I compiled with all the Amazon Prime-only pages that I could find from me and a couple more people. If you have more that aren't in the album I'll add them.
