Inspired by Cannibal’s chronological book order guide, I made one for every Warcraft story listed in publication order. Most dates are exact, but some might not be exact to the day. I researched as best as I could! I’ve also included the game releases and content patches, just because I thought it was interesting to see what was going on in game when these stories were released.
I hope you enjoy!!!
