As an ex Protection Paladin I can confirm. I was completely obsessed with Warcraft lore when I was playing the game. The « Time travel in a parallel universe » BS killed it though.
I know I’m not supposed to take it seriously but how the hell does Elder Scrolls have more lore than Warcraft? Warcraft has so much lore there’s books to compile the lore that are also not definitive or accurate because there’s more lore.
Ooh, the lore in Elder Scrolls goes way deep. I mean, there are more exotic concepts most know which are not really discussed in games like Lunar Lattice, Godhead and CHIM, but if you dig deeper, you're in for a real ride. Most of it goes way over my head, but concepts like time travel and AI from the future, Amaranth, and lastly, the Elder Scroll themselves about which Septimus Signus made simplified, but not inaccurate, in-game comments, are much discussed topics among the deep lore fandom. Plus all the more mundane stuff behind the scenes--dreughs, ayleids, Akavir and it's many inhabitants, sloads, Hist and their origin (discussed in Infernal City/Lord of Souls, but more questions raised than answers given. Hint: the Sleeping Tree is related to Hist and the rumor Ysolda dismisses as "nonsense" is literally true.) etc.
You could write a heavy tome about the history and deeds of the Dunmer people alone, let alone all the other events that happen(ed) in that universe.
I’m not saying there isn’t lore but there are 30 novels for Warcraft as well as nearly 20 years of WoW and another 10 or so of Warcraft. All of that before touching Hearthstone, the tabletop games, or comics.
I’m not accusing Elder Scrolls of being lacking but that Warcraft as a franchise is absolutely massive.
I still remember all the hate threads on modern warfare because of how warzone messed with the canon of the series. Haven’t seen such an autistic fan base not sure why it’s so low
