If something on the list are missing. Or if you think you know a good addition to the guide PM me or leave a comment!
Knowing your Lore is gonna be the final product of a little brainstorming about what I could do, to spread the knowledge of Warcraft's Lore and history.
My thoughts about Warcraft Lore/history is that many people don't know what its about. Practically its like running around your hometown without knowing the name of it.
This guide will provide you with direct links leading you to the more/less informational sites out on the big internet. In that way the guide is aiming for making it easy for everyone left behind to catch up with the storyline and understanding their place in the world.
