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, [hide]Matthew Rossi [/hide]and [hide]Anne Stickney[/hide] make sure you [hide]Know Your Lore[/hide] by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
Around this time last year, [hide]Know Your Lore[/hide] did a series on the politics surrounding both Horde and Alliance, along with [hide]some predictions[/hide] as to what was going to come to pass. Some theories were right, some were wrong — but as far as the Horde is concerned, there has never been as tumultuous a time as right now in Cataclysm. While some of the conflict is out in the open, other signs of discontent are found in hidden away or in discreet areas, out of sight unless you’re directly looking for them.

This [hide]Breakfast Topic[/hide] has been brought to you by [hide]Seed[/hide], the AOL guest writer program that brings [hide]your words[/hide] to WoW Insider’s pages.
Sometimes people need a break from Azeroth. There are various reasons for it — real-life issues, lack of new content, boredom, another game you have to try — but despite the reasons, most of the time people come back. Something about the world or the people in it draws players back to see what is new since the last time they logged in. Sometimes it almost seems that WoW has a pull that is hard to escape, and you find yourself launching the game and putting in your account and password without even realizing you are doing it.

[/hide]One of Australia’s many unusually large and dangerous (and fictitious) animals, the [hide]drop bear[/hide], has begun showing up in Azeroth. «I was just minding my business, enjoying my newly obtained epic flight form, then BAM! Drop bear from above!» writes [hide]Dexi[/hide] of [hide]Raids Without Pants[/hide] on Steamwheedle Cartel (US-A). «I’d heard rumors about such flying bears but had never witnessed one before in the wild! It was quite thrilling … until he landed on me, anyway.» Or perhaps it’s just Dexi’s husband [hide]Foxyfoxy[/hide] surprising her.
