Welcome all you young, fresh-faced creators. Yes, all three of you (feel free to invite more peepz). This thread is a quick introduction to your vision of the warcraft universe. Are you rewriting the past, or writing the future? Are you focusing on World of Warcraft, or earlier games?




My name is ijffdrie, alternatively Ramses, and I focus on an alternative to World of Warcraft, continuing after Warcraft III with a series of RPG games set in different parts of the warcraft world, each slightly continuing the story.
The first is set in Central Kalimdor, dealing with the refugees from Warcraft III, building their new societies in an untamed lands. The second is set in Ashenvale, where the night elves suffer the consequences of the loss of immortality. The third is set in Azeroth, a nation now crippled by internal strife, exacerbated by infiltrators. Finally, there is Lordaeron, serving as an epic finale to the whole thing by finally dealing with the scourge. After that, who knows where we'll go? (though I do have some plans even for the long term)

I don't take any particular version of canon as sacred, but seek to rework all of it in a self-consistent framework. While I envision the games mostly as smaller scale stories, I have spend a long time developing the details of the setting as a whole, working out metaphysics, a fairly detailed history of the universe, and what other places in the universe might look like.

Greeting, friends.

Known as Marthen in these parts, I am no extraordinary man, merely one who would wish to see Warcraft become something greater, grander and consistent. An echo of the past, a veteran of the very first two Warcrafts, I have a special spot in my heart for the world, stories and characters as presented in these two games. And each this ending ties to my own vision.

The one of the world grand, featuring a sensible and rational, yet not always wholly realistic geography and other elements important for a world believable. The one of the world coherent, bound by the laws set and unchangeable, yet still mystical, built on the solid foundations, one developed and rich. And finally, the world where each and every single iteration of Warcraft could be mirrored and found, in a certain sense at the very least.

So, what exactly is my goal? Simply, take all the available lore, break it down, refine it and sprinkle with some of my own to create one coherent picture, often forging a syncretic image of some seemingly contradictory things. An image containing the worldbuilding part, be it geography, histories or cultures, as well as a detailed depiction of the Age of Chaos, up from the opening of the Dark Portal to the battle at Mount Hyjal. And an image that some could hopefully take for their own, using it as the basis to build their own things, once it is properly finished.
