Want to get into Warcraft’s<\/em> lore and story<\/a>, but don\u2019t know where to begin? The following is a guide to all canon novels, manga, comics, and short stories related to World of Warcraft<\/em><\/a>\u00a0listed in chronological order. This means that instead of being listed by when the material was published, it\u2019s being listed by its order in the Warcraft<\/em> lore timeline so you can start at the beginning and read your way all to the end if that’s what you want. For frame of reference, all material is sorted by the game title and expansion in which it takes place.<\/p>\n

To make the chronology work, you’ll find some stories show up on the timeline twice, because events within the story include flashbacks to earlier points in time. Warlords of Draenor <\/em>(an alternate history of the events on Draenor)\u00a0and the Warcraft<\/em> movie (a retelling of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans<\/em>) are both in their own sections, as neither ties into the game’s timeline.<\/p>\n

Now let’s dig in to all of the Warcraft<\/em> lore you can find in print.<\/p>\n
