Exploring Azeroth: The Eastern Kingdoms Book
Another World of Warcraft themed book has been announced recently, this one releasing on October 20th, 2020 and featuring Matthias Shaw and Flynn Fairwind and art displaying the Eastern Kingdom locales. You can preorder it on Amazon by clicking here!

For over a quarter of a century, players of Warcraft and World of Warcraft have been treated to a treasure trove of artifacts, gear, weaponry, and trinkets of both awe and amusement. Now players can get an in-depth look at the items they have collected…and some they might not have just yet. With exquisite art and a framing story involving the no-nonsense Matthias Shaw and high-spirited Captain Flynn Fairwind, this book covers the continent of the Eastern Kingdom, from Stormwind to Stranglethorn, plaguelands to palaces, and all the lands in between.

I find it funny how the wording in the book summary makes it seems like it's only about the zones between Stormwind and Stranglethorn, and the Plaguelands to Silvermoon (the only "palace" I know in the Eastern Kingdoms)

A book with Flynn? Count me in.

I dunno, if you pick two regions, one in the south, and one in the north, and then say "all the lands in between", that makes it sound fine to me.

Meh, I admit I'm just being pedantic for the sake of humor, but it does feel like that to me. I mean, the way I see it, the "all lands in between" refers to the lands between Stormwind and Stranglethorn and between Plaguelands and Silvermoon.

-Fixed an issue that prevented players from receiving loot if they did not generate threat during the encounter.

How the heck do you not generate threat during this encounter? Is this a AFK measure for LFR?
