I like you, Myf. I like you enough to protect you from the knowledge of the exact thing that turned Sylvanas over to the darkside and just how horrible it truly is.

I thought a basic campfire won the Horde vote?

The True Warchief Basic Campfire stepped down before being inaugurated. Some details about his role in Teldrassil came to light and amidst the controversy, he chose to step away from politics.
Sadly, the Horde has no rulings in place for an elected warchief stepping down before he is fully recognized, so weāre kinda stuck until the council stops arguing over how to proceed.

On a less meme note, I hope the resolve the sticking point about Splintertree Post and the Warsong Lumber Camp in Chronicle IV. Suitable enough for a problem they created in a book to be addressed in another book.

I will not spare you.
Golden wrote in the Sylvanas novel that retconed the Afrasiabi retcons to the lore and other retcons that Sylvanas realized the Jailer was right after her attempt to take her own life because Zovaal showed Sylvanas the Lava Eel Afterlife where the Arbiter sent Wife Eel to the Lava Eel Land but Husband Eel was sent to Somewhere Else because one ate the other because it was an act of cultural mercy so they were unable to vore each other for all eternity, and this outraged Sylvanas, so she decided WoW Lucifer Sauron Thanos Joe Rogan had a point and she needed to damn countless souls to Super Hell With Spiritual Annihilation so aforementioned Evil Joe Rogan could remake the world to be āfairā and she somehow believed him.
Because of Lava Eel Vore.

Iāll repeat what I said earlier in the thread but:
- Sylvanas Novel already retconād some Afrasiabi worldbuilding (ie that Sylvanas did Wrathgate) that he said in an interview
- The book covers, oddly specifically, Afrasiabiās tenure with power
- The book description notably does NOT mention the Fourth War at all but does mention Shadowlands, which I find to be curious
So while I donāt expect a total erasure of their incompetence, I expect wide and varied partial retcons.

Because heās a clown who only cares if heās having any sort of fun and nobody else is allowed to have what they want in game.

Because it was the truth? Did you want me to lie?
Because youāre the type who does this every time someone suggests something they want in game. If it doesnāt make YOU personally happy, you donāt want it, you than argue with people about it

I am so glad I stopped reading the novels after War Crimes. From all the comments Iāve read on the forums, itās saved me a ton of money.

Didnāt it also retcon Sylvanas personally asking Garrosh to let her take the lead in the invasion of Gilneas ?
Honestly that sort of retcon/hard recontextualization of character motivations and reactions to problematic events is probably the best we may hope for when it comes to Chronicle 4 (and Iād still welcome it with open arms)
Read Shadows Rising tbh

I have liked reading the books and look forward to any future ones, including this chronicles addition.
I am eager to see what is in it- given it covers most of the WoW expansions. I hope we get some neat insight and details, maybe some elaboration with the various member nations of the factions and their leaders.
They mention family trees too which, which i love to see in general. Maybe some expansion of royal family lineages and so on?

As I said before, I ask for what I want(and others are free ask for what they want) and then let the WoW gods decided. And yes, why would I want something to happen that wouldnt make me personally happy to happen or worse make me unhappy? I expect people to do the same and not want anything that would make them unhappy with the story.
The conflict lies in Blizzard will not be able to please both of us and all I can hope for is the story somehow goes my way(and celebrate when it does). I assume people hope they get their way as well and would probably jump for joy if they get their wish.
This is nothing personal, it is just the nature of people having two diametrically opposing wishes for the story.
And side note, me telling Kornila they are not retconning Sl/BfA is just a statement of fact. I gain nothing in particular from upsetting her.
I said we retcon it all
BOOM NO MORE COSMIC LAUNDRY

One can hope.
Because it is clear that they were not written to be that way. Same with the WC3 manual.
Blizzard did a good job of actually declaring if something was written in universe (i.e. unreliable narrator). WC1 & 2 manuals says this, with the lore sections written by Anduin Lothar and Garona for WC1, Aegwynn and Gulādan for WC2. Along with the Exploring X books and the Grimore of the Shadowlands.
