Chronology of World of Warcraft Novels

0 -1) "World of Warcraft: Chronicles (Volume 1)"

Actually this would not be a good book by which to begin to submerge in the Lore, but it is the bible of
the same. It narrates the events happened from the creation of the Universe until a few years before
"The Ascent of the Horde".

I insist, it is not the first book I recommend reading, for two reasons, it is not a novel in itself, and
second to avoid this is not the first to recommend, but still helps to understand the rest of the Lore.
Therefore I leave it to you to read it first or last.

NOTE: There are some In-Game books that form a set of Lore information called "Warcraft History".
These books are no longer canon because of World of Warcraft: Chronicles (Volume 1), which To
update the Lore (RetCon) modifying parts of old Lore, to update it, causing changes of greater or
smaller scale. This affects chapters I and II

On the other hand, chapters III, IV and V for now have not been "RetConeados" and to this day (April
/ 2016) are still in force, but the output of Volume 2 and 3 of World of Warcraft: Chronicles, Will
change. As a fact, I tell you that these chapters III, IV and V narrate chunks of history to "The Hate
Cycle"

Just add that another utility book to settle everything and clear all doubts is the Ultimate Visual Guide
(updated and extended version) which was published on: 05/05/2016

0-2) "World of Warcraft: Chronicles (Volume 2)"

I would recommend reading this book by chapters or just before "Dragon Day".

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All Products:

NOTE -> The history "A Warrior Made" before or after "The Ascent of the Horde". I put it before
because it is located before "The Ascent of the Horde", and in the last 3 pages "present" to the
leaders of the Orcs Clans that are mentioned in the novel. But being two small sleeves does not alter
the experience read before or after "The Climb of the Horde"
