Narrative arcs from Classic WoW to Class Halls

This week's Lore Watch Podcast takes us back in the day, with a couple questions that ask about lore from the vanilla days. We start off talking arcs. The Alliance has a great arc involving the Defias in their initial starting zone, which evolves to involve Lady Prestor in the middle levels, all the way up to Onyxia at cap. The Lore Watch crew discuss the various threads of the Horde narrative that branch in similar ways throughout their leveling experience all the way on up. Then, we pivot to class quests of that same era, up through the Legion Order Hall quests. Some of them felt like a great, cohesive way to celebrate your class and give you a lot of lore about it, and others... less so. Joe, Matt, and Eric reminisce about their time playing their respective classes, and whether they prefer unique class touches -- even if they might be a little half-baked for certain classes. If you want even more background story, we also have a guide to every Warcraft book in chronological order (for those of you who prefer reading that way).
