"Enemy of Life" is not as literal as you think. This art from chronicles has Life(druids/nature) and Death(undead) juxtapose eachother. Life vs Undeath is next, seeing as Light vs Void, and Fel vs Arcane have been done already. Thoughts?
TheRealHMint
Oh I know this. It's that card game, right?
Camelotterduck
That is pretty awesome. I love the map of primordial Azeroth.

The Frozen Throne was my childhood. The map-making community was amazing.
TheMasterOfTheMechanicalStuff
if only the game was as good as this ....
trapazoid
fucking gorgeous

I bought this book for my SO since he's big into the lore. He loves it and it's worth reading.

Say what you say about what WoW is, but the WarCraft lore was always amazing. I don't even play, but I find myself consuming the stories.
Malorak
Sadly it's becoming somewhat worse and worse. WoW retcons lots of things all the time, let's hope chronicle gives us a foundation now...
ravenforthekell
WoW has amazing lore, too bad they kinda threw any opportunity to work it into gameplay out the window as they released the updates.

Every piece of art Blizzard touches in legit

I need that art where that one Orc that wield Axe of Cenarius striking mortal wound to Sargeras preventing him entering Azeroth
Actrox
Broxigar Saurfang was legit.
J4CKER
Best part is that the axe was made of wood, he basically hit one of the most powerful entities...with a branch....life goals
xbangarang
That was Broxigar the Red who wielded the axe during the War of the Ancients. I can't find the art either.
PayedForWinrar
Can't wait for more lore to be retconned.

So... is there any place on the internet one might "procure" a download of this book, being a poor student living off ramen?
soloruler
No. Go buy it you heathen.

Guess I'm not eating for a month..
Lefty2k59
Very cool. I wish they had put as much work into WoD....
SwaglortSeal
My biggest issue with the game were the models. Vanilla-Wrath used mostly the same models, and even in new xpacs with new models 1/2
SwaglortSeal
you get tired of looking at the same thing every time you go through. I did like the MoP art, but had other problems with the xpac. 2/2
TheRealDwightSchrute
Played the game since vanilla but after Mists, the game was pretty dead. Same old same old.
hnevard
Yes, what WoD definitely needed was more paintings painted by artists.
Lefty2k59
WoD needed effort, lot of effort went into these.
racecarbedx
The art wasn't the issue, game looked amazing. The issue was the content. Nothing to do but raid sadly.
MyMiddleNameIsAllen
WoW was better when there was a clear separation based on skill, strategy, and communication. It's all basically level now.
Jehovasthickness
First time I've ever been able to get into PVP since Vanilla but if you weren't a raider you were screwed in WoD
defenestrater
TIL: Warcraft is D&D with better art.
koboldesq
Warcraft was pretty clearly "inspired" by DnD (being polite). Funny thing: eventually they made a d20 Warcraft RPG.
defenestrater
Warcraft was actually pretty clearly originally made as a Warhammer computer game.
BranOfTheNorth
You just learned that today?
defenestrater
I'd never seen Warcraft's cosmology before.
Camelotterduck
That's because they didn't have a well defined cosmology until the book this came from was released about a month ago.
defenestrater
Yeah previously we all just thought it was Warhammer with better art.
Zimmgur
They retconned a lot.
marblegg
I knew theres nothing to it. Glad I did not get the book.
MathiasHaugmoen
I loved it :)
marblegg
I am a dedicated WOW fan. I guess the Chronicle thing is just not my type.
MathiasHaugmoen
You can get a demo on amazon and read a few pages :)
Vicentum
It looks amazing and I really want it but 40$ for only 25 or so pages... that's a complete turnoff.
kristuz
That's just the artwork, the texts are not included in these pictures.
Vicentum
so how many pages it end up having?
jmxd
This book is not an art-book, it's a novel. These are just the pictures. It's 184 pages in total.
Vicentum
Thanks for the clarification, it sounds much better to me now.
jmxd
I rarely read books but i finished this in two days. It's 100% worth it. Here's a page from the 1st chapter:
FireBreathingFerret
Can't look; nostalgia
Katalliaan
I don't recognize most of this artwork, although I do know what most of it references.
Camelotterduck
That's because it's all new artwork from the new lore compendium they released.
Squeedgy
Want nostalgia? Check out Nostalrius
SaltyEsq
Shutting down bruh
Squeedgy
Yeah just found out, want to cry.
Lionskull
you should get some stalgia back in your life if you are getting that much nostalgia.
FireBreathingFerret
I should! Or maybe its more withdrawl
MyMiddleNameIsAllen
The game sucks balls right now. It has been static for months. If you're thinking about it, wait until the next xpac.
FireBreathingFerret
I played from like 2005-9, no more time in life for mmorpgs, sadly
MyMiddleNameIsAllen
Eh, life is better that way Imo. I picked it back up when work fell off a bit temporarily and I had a lot of free time. Game sucks.
