Know Your Lore: History of the Shen’dralar Sunday, 1 August 2010, 3:00 am
The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You’re playing the game, you’re fighting the bosses, you know the how — but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
There’s been plenty of chatter regarding the upcoming expansion, and both Rossi and myself have been doing our best to fill in the background on lore figures and races that will play some kind of part in it. One of the questions I find myself asked a lot in regards to Cataclysm is how the new race/class combinations will fall into play lore-wise once the expansion launches.
The answer to that question is easier than you’d think — most lore for these new race and class combinations already exists in one form or another in game. Over the next few weeks I’ll be giving you some background and history into each class and race, and how these combinations make sense in the face of existing lore, as well as speculation on possible conflicts we might see in the future with regards to these choices. Please note, the following post may contain spoilers for the Cataclysm expansion — if you’d rather avoid all discussion or speculation regarding Cataclysm, it’d be advised to steer away now.
Today we’ll be discussing one of the most baffling of the new announcements — night elf mages. Although the original announcement left some (including myself) horribly confused, later revelations made the choice perfectly logical. While they’ve been addressed briefly in the post regarding elven evolution, we’re going to take a closer look at the Shen’dralar — the Highborne that make their home in Dire Maul.
