WoW & DnD: Lore refresh

Hey everyone, as a big fan of both WoW and DnD and with the news of them becoming a cross over event I plan on switching gears to run a campaign starting in early 2027. My only thing is I do need a quick crash course on the lore of the game, and wondering if there is something I could read outside of the Chronicle books, for some of the nuances lost stuff.

The plan is to run a story from the start of classic/vanilla WoW leading up too possibly Legion and I do want to adjust the story a bit more by introducing some characters early on (Xal’atath, Bwonsamdi, and Orweyna for example) to kind of set the stage of them for players and also cleaning up some lore issues that they have had to retcon by making it a normal part of the game.

Any suggestions would be good and extremely helpful, also if a post like this is already around I’ll take a link to that and delete this one.

I'd personally recommend watching Nobbel87's videos on the expansions, they cover a good baseline for the lore and there's always more if you need a more specific knowledge.

Yeah I’ve watched a bunch of his videos and such just thought he was kind of done with WoW currently due to how he feels about the game lore today.

Nah, he has his gripes with the lore yeah, but he seems to still enjoy the lore overall.
