Argent Dawn Roleplay Compendium

Added under Websites, since many roleplayers are interested in reading WoW books and short stories:

The Ultimate Guide to Warcraft Lore in Print - If you’d like to get your hands on WoW literature outside the game but are unsure where to begin, Blizzard Watch maintains a guide listed in chronological order. This means that instead of being listed by when the material was published, it’s being listed by its order in the Warcraft lore timeline so you can start at the beginning and read your way all to the end if that’s your desire.

Also includes the comics and animated shorts.

Added Musician in the AddOn section given how often it’s used at music, entertainment and market themed events.

Musician - Musician allows your character to play music that can be heard by the other players nearby, provided that they have installed the add-on as well. Any song file in MIDI format can be played. There are 24 instruments available including lute, harp, trumpet, violin, war horn but also drum kit and electric guitar. It’s also possible to perform live music using your computer keyboard as a piano. Related plugin: MusicianFX

Edit: On that note, also added Watch2Gether under Websites.

Added also a link to Wowhead under websites, and a new section under ‘Finding Roleplay & Communities’ called ‘Outside Hubs’.

Edit: Plus now added ’Death Knight RP’ to the Discord communities. Keep the adventures coming!

Added a section to explain WoW’s in-game Community feature.

And since the post is swelling, added a table of contents at the top which may come handy for quick-linking, and for browsing on mobile.

Added links to a couple other lore channels under Tips, to help new and returning players quickly catch up on the setting. Also added a section explaining what the in-game communities are used / useful for.

If you have suggestions for sections that would be particularly helpful for new or returning players, please do let me know.

Ironically I spoke yesterday on a discord about how useful a lore compendium would be from someone like you Acrona.

As a mention of thought, could it be possible to include “resources” for all the different races as well in a section? In case someone looks for specific backgrounds? Maybe also for classes (if not already present)?

Thank you for the suggestions Heramaar!

I think this is already quite extensively covered by Warcraft Wiki front page, where there’s links to the lore of all the playable races, classes and professions:

However, maybe there could be a separate “Lore Resources” section in the Compendium, where I could compile the video channels, Warcraft Wiki and a few other resources. I’ll think on it!

As long as they are linked it should be useful enough.

Imagine it like this. If we have this Forum Compendium post complete, RP guides like me can just point at this thread and its links and the player has an easy point to go to when no guidance from another player is atm possible.

Including links to the Warcraft Wiki front page and such would be enough imo.

Warcraft Wiki is already linked under the Websites section - perhaps the overall structure suffices for now, but will think on if a separate Lore section would be warranted!

With kind courtesy and permission of Alnarra of Moonguard US, a book detailing all of Warcraft’s lore in an easy to read bullet point form:

Hey, thank you for sharing!
Unfortunately I get the following error when opening the URL (without the gaps and '), and thus can’t check the PDF:

404

File not found

The site configured at this address does not contain the requested file.

If this is your site, make sure that the filename case matches the URL as well as any file permissions.
For root URLs (like http://example.com/) you must provide an index.html file.

Very strange. I’ll see what I can do to fix it.

Edit: I’ve updated the link to a TinyURL. That seems to work.

For those wary of TinyURLs, it links directly to Alnarra’s personal website, and to the PDF.

Thank you Xynia! I’ll go over the contents soon, and see if the document could fit somewhere in the compendium.
