Spoiler-tastic review

This short story was published on Youtube by Blizzard Entertainment. Telling the untold story of what happened to the characters of Alleria and Turalyon during the events of the Second War and World of Warcraft: Legion. If you’re playing WoW: Legion spend an hour or two to listen to this three-part series.

Part one of this series occurs after the end of Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal, telling the story of how Alleria and Turalyon joined the Army of Light. Part two occurs some decades/centuries later when Alleria and Turalyon are raiding a Legion building on Argus. Part three occurs just prior to the events of WoW: Legion, when the Legion attacks the Xenedar.

The sound quality of this novel is top-shelf, using sound effects and music. This is a full-cast audio production, with different actors for all the different characters. Highly recommended for people who enjoy the games.
