World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth is a series of in-universe guidebooks exploring the various continents of Azeroth. They are presented as notes from various characters as they traverse the land.

Exploring Azeroth: Northrend is set some time after the defeat of the Jailer in the Sepulcher of the First Ones during the war against the Jailer.[1] The Vow Eternal, which is set moments before the awakening of the Dragon Isles, mentions that the Bronzebeard brothers have just returned from exploring Northrend.[2]

I disagree : It's better for them to stop now, these books aren't very popular, especially with how it depicts horde characters
I'd rather have something that goes in depht with the lore rather than a glorified wiki page that keeps telling us "Everything is just like it is ingame".

how this can be the complete collection
if we got TWW introducing a whole world of underground adventure..unexplored Azeroth as it were.
To bad those who bought the normal collections are now kinda screwed if they want the map and pins :/

I legit came here to post this same thing. But it seems like the right time to complain about not having those weapon tmogs in Remix on the vendors. Since I think that's still the thing we're all complaining about every thread.

Why there's still people complaining about stuff? there's still people that's gonna buy that. check the comments here.

What I'm finding odd is that, despite the description of the set saying that this encompasses all of WoW regions, it doesn't feature Draenor or Outland. Semantics, I know, "Exploring Azeroth" wouldn't typically include other planets, but since it says to explore the "World of Warcraft" and its "beloved characters" I feel that it's left missing a huge gap in history/lore without those two segments. Someone mentioning how close this is to us exploring yet another region in TWW which is likely not covered in this collection also proves this...

Yeah, I wish they would've done this for TWW already but TWW is still being developed and even things are changing as we speak lol.

Imagine buying 'lore books' that are 100% going to be retconned.
(looks at Warcraft chronicle and the Tabletop RPG)

The price seems fair, and it looks neat... but I'm sure it's going to get a "Titan's point of view" treatment in a year or two.

While I'll criticize the hell out of the Chronicles retcon, the TTRPG one was deserved. That went completely off the rails. The writers (who were third party) eventually started just making crap up whole cloth. Entire races, factions, areas, and more that had zero basis or connection in the actual franchise. It became glorified fanfiction eventually. It got out of control and Blizzard rightfully squashed it. Reading some of the content confused me, a person who's played the franchise since the original RTS days, because of how off-the-wall and completely fabricated things ended up from the source material. Like, where the hell did this come from? Where did THAT come from? Who are these people? So what would it do to a newer player? Confuse the crap out of them and that's not a good thing for what is supposed to be a coherent franchise.

It is the complete collection FOR NOW.

My money is that they gonna release TWW zones sometime in the future, THEN another book that's gonna go into the revamped zones of the 2nd expansion, then a 3rd book going into the revamped Northrend AGAIN.

Thus, after the 3rd expansion, we gonna get a SECOND complete collection - the trilogy of the new expansions zones ++++ A NEW COMPLETE COMPLEEEETE collection with these 5 books + the 3 new ones.

Why? Cuz they love money, that's why

In depht lore: People scream "RETCONED"
New lore: People scream "WHY IS IT IN A BOOK AND NOT IN GAME"
Already known lore: People scream "YOU ALREADY SAID THAT"

Agree with all except the last part, I like the idea of a book about the lore of the multiple regions of wow. You know, shinny paper, hard cover and illustrations about each region. A shame they mixed some random story with this.

Idk if anyone has noticed, but for some reason they are trying to get people to believe that Matthias Shaw is gay. He is not gay. Now they want to portray him as gay, but for a decade and a half, he wasn't. Flynn on the other hand is very obvious about his gayness. Most could tell the first time they encountered the character.

Nothing wrong with have gay and straight characters. But when you take a character that has been straight for a long, long time and then magically make them gay just to have someone to ship Flynn with - it's messed up. Is Thrall or Jaina going to be next?
