Know Your Lore: The Blue Dragonflight

Filed under: Lore, Know your Lore


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.
