Look, I’ll be honest with you: I’ve been slacking a bit lately. The World of Warcraft universe is absolutely massive and completely overwhelming. A lot of these stories get a bit dry, feeling heavy and told a million times over. But I still set a personal goal to read through the Warcraft books in chronological order just to finally get a clue about what’s actually happening in Azeroth.
In my attempt to figure out the correct chronological order to navigate World of Warcraft and understand the complete story, the first book I would read and have on my list is: “Of Blood and Honor” by Chris Metzen himself.
The story takes place several years after the Second War. Tirion Fordring, a highly respected Paladin of the Silver Hand and Governor of Hearthglen, is living a quiet life. That changes instantly when he encounters an old Orc named Eitrigg in a dilapidated ruin.
World of Warcraft is a game that has been with me my entire life. I have never really stopped playing, and I probably will not as long as this game exists. Unfortunately, the older you get, the less time you have for it.
