The story is awesome, but the timeline can be really confusing. I suggest after reading book 1, you can try reading these articles on WoWWiki, its a lot fun. -Illidan (entire article) -Deathwing (intro) Demon Soul article (entire article) -it explain the Dragonflight and aftermath in details reference articles (just for fun): Nexus War and Emerald Nightmare major events in template:patches as spoilers. (e.g. Mysteries of Maraudon, Ruins of Dire Maul, Nexus War) I love reading and studying fantasy with a very long history, especially on the folklore mythology. I also try to write legendariums. note: I don't play WoW, don't really like the game that much.
