World of Warcraft Illustrated by Christie Golden

Let me spell out in more detail why I don’t want them to revisit established lore. I like most of the established lore, and I am convinced that any revisiting it just now will only lead to the ruination of characters and stories I used to like. To quote Faelinthia from another thread:

That is what will be the likely outcome of the retcons that will happen in a new book re-examining stories of the past. Even if the events are so far back that no current WoW characters are involved, they’ll probably re-imagine the society or one or more playable races, like how Forsaken society was completely rewritten in Before the Storm, sweeping away more than a decade of established lore.

But I thought you wanted expansions of existing stories. Frankly, I think all-new stories, rather than fleshing out of already sketched-in events, is a better chance of getting something palatable.

I will say that if I had more faith in the current writers, I would welcome this sort of thing. But now? I just want them to leave the stuff I like the heck alone and not ruin it.
