Synopsis

For decades, the war between the Horde and the Alliance has raged on in the fantasy world of Azeroth. Millions of players have chosen a faction and fought alongside one another in Blizzard Entertainment's critically acclaimed massively multiplayer online role-playing game, World of Warcraft® — and since its release in 2004, the game has grown to become the most popular subscription-based MMORPG on the planet.

Created in close collaboration with Blizzard, World of Warcraft®: The Ultimate Visual Guide explores the major characters, key locations, and epic history of this battle-scarred realm, and will capture any adventurer's imagination with its breadth of detail. Players will find a treasure trove of game knowledge, as the book delves deep into the series' lore and even goes be yond the game, giving readers a peek at the behind-the-scenes development of Blizzard's vivid fantasy world. This detailed guide is the perfect companion for any adventurer, Alliance or Horde.

"There's tons of lore for the story enthusiasts, including -- wait for it -- an official timeline of events, something many of us have been clamoring for, for quite a while now. If you're a big WoW geek (like most of the staff here at WoW Insider)it wouldn't be surprising for this book to earn a place of pride on your bookshelves." - Joystiq.com
