PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 1)

Chronicles was supposed to be the lore bible. Grimoire does read like narrow propaganda. The truth will be someplace inbetween in a third collection of lore books.

hadn’t even thought about it like that yet…

Seems books written from the POV of the Titans aren’t that weird in Azeroth then, huh?

you offend me in so many ways possible and i didnt even buy chronicles…

The third iteration will have Life at the core of it, as without Life there is no Death and nothing else to be perceived in any reality.

This will be the lore dealing with Elune and her other four eternals presiding over the Source, churning out green goodness into all of existence.

The grimoire is the propaganda piece but chronicles will still be presented as incomplete to accomodate new lore.

I had typed a bunch of dull paragraphs, but everything I had to say boils down to this:

I hope that no one actually buys this monetized lore that will be contradicted with the next content patch and be absolutely irrelevant by the beginning of the next expansion. I also hope that no one will buy any of the subsequent “lore bibles” that will be released for each of the following expansions. Heck, I hope that no one even pirates them. It’s not like any of the information within will be useful for roleplaying anyway, unless you’re playing an all-knowing prophet.

There’s already a bunch of contradictions with quest texts about the Maldraxxi and souls afaik.

Huh? Can you expand on that?

Warcraft lore doesn’t feel like it resembles a world so much as it resembles a bunch of freshly-introduced “questions” nobody except the most boring mage roleplayers asked, then exists to sell you the answers
