The Lore Of World Of Warcraft: Classic
World of Warcraft is a game that has been around for many years, and its lore has grown a great deal from its Vanilla days all the way to the present. «Vanilla» World of Warcraft, or as it is known in its currently playable form, WoW: Classic, is a version of the game wherein players can experience how it was when it was first released in 2004 and the subsequent two years of content that followed before its first major expansion, The Burning Crusade. Although the game's first few years did not have a prevailing central theme or climax, there were many exceptional lore moments that players could participate in.
World of Warcraft's original release continued the universe's story from where it left off after the RTS game, Warcraft 3. The Burning Legion used the Scourge to wreak havoc across the world, paving room for them to invade Azeroth in what's known as the Third War. The orcs and the trolls ventured to Kalimdor to find a new home away from persecution, where they quickly befriended the tauren. The Alliance followed, guided by Jaina Proudmoore who had been instructed to sail west by Medivh. The last Guardian orchestrated that the Horde and Alliance were both in Kalimdor to help the night elves defend their World Tree, Nordrassil (similar to the tree Teldrassil that was burnt down by Sylvanas Windrunner in Battle for Azeroth), from the Legion. Although there was much infighting along the way, the denizens of Azeroth succeeded in protecting their home.
