World of Warcraft: Blood Ties is an original prequel novel to the highly anticipated World of Warcraft: Midnight game expansion, the second chapter in the Worldsoul Saga, and chronicles the journey of Arator the Redeemer, son of High Exarch Turalyon and the legendary Alleria Windrunner, as he embarks on a journey investigating rumors of a strange glow emanating from the ruins of a long abandoned Legion base, which leads him to uncover more about himself, his parents, and their heroic legacy.
How much we betting literally none of this story will be told in game so the xpac story will be confusing
I just said this in this other thread.
Hive mind.
I think it’d be pretty cool if, in the expansion set in Quel’thalas, the Blood Elves got to be the main characters.
I know it’s kind of a longshot, but I think it’d be neat if we could tell stories about them that aren’t them standing around in the background while Alleria is the main character again.
Is this standalone or do i have to read something else first?
Alliance bias
“The War Within has a primarily Alliance focus. Midnight, taking place in Quel’Thalas, will have more of a Horde focus.”
“Oh cool, so what’s the prequel novel for Midnight about?”
“Three Alliance characters.”
Ayo.
That Blood Elf Themed Judgement Armor is sick as hell.
Why don’t we have Blood Elf Themed Judgement Armor Blizzard?
Seriously… Tell the stories IN GAME or as a video not in other media for a price.
must be really trying to sell this to post twice
It happening Exp end drawing closer and then Midnight…
Why you posting about this twice? I don’t want to preorder some trash written by Golden. Every character she writes is insufferable.
Arator looks like an entirely different person in the art. And what’s with the AWFUL tattoos that look like weird growths on his head and neck.
Another book I won’t read because the WoW lore in general has been torn to shreds for YEARS now.
nothing to add. just quoting because it needs to be quoted repeatedly.
Double post.
Double no.
I like reading the books.
The author seems to have written mostly TV and game franchise novels, so that tells me enough about the quality of her writing to give this a hard NO.
Don’t get me wrong, lots of great writers made their names and got started writing schlock fiction, but they moved on. She seems to have topped out at schlock.
That and the fact that Warcraft fiction has been pretty consistently awful for 20 years means double no.
The disappointment is real.
