The folks over at BlizzPlanet got a chance to sit down with Christie Golden, author of the new book "World of Warcraft: Rise of the Horde" which is said to a "prequel" to WoW the game. In its pages you can read all about all the lore that led up to the current WoW mythos. The book goes into detail about the Draenei and how they were a catalyst for the creation of the Horde.

The Horde was created by Kil'jaeden to be used as a weapon against the Draenei, who in this book are revealed to be uncorrupted Eredar. The basic storyline is that of how the Orcs went from being essentially peaceable people in harmony with their world to demonically tainted beings capable of genocide.

Not being a WoW player, I have absolutely no idea what that last paragraph means, but my question is this: If everyone is busy playing Burning Crusade and peeing in empty water bottles, who's going to read the book? Flynn De Marco
