What Lore topics would you like to see in the future?

Greetings Everyone :)

With the recent positive response to the Tol'vir lore article a couple days ago, I'm happy to state that these types are articles are planned to continue on a regular basis for the foreseeable future. Since Hearthstone covers a lot of areas of WoW lore, there's a lot of ground to cover, and it can be hard to decide what topics to focus on first. To help with this, I'd appreciate if  you could comment below what topic you would most like to see covered. If your suggestion is already written, please upvote that post instead of writing it again, as this will help me to gauge the popularity of suggested topics and see what you guys want most. 

Please note that individual cards are not the focus at the moment. There will likely be a point in the future where specific lore might be able to be added to the respective card page, but the current articles are meant to focus on broader topics, such as locations or groups like races, nations, and organizations, that would include multiple cards and demonstrate how they are connected in the lore.

  • I think for a big expansion-level lore post you kind of hit the nail on the head with the Tol'vir: an explanation of the main theme and/or setting of an expansion, as well as the connecting thread on a number of cards like a race featured repeatedly in the art.

    So other examples to rewind a bit could have been: WW - how did everyone in Gilneas become werewolves including the royal family? RoS - a summary of the city of Dalaran - it's history, politics & leaders, why is it floating, etc. And to look forward, assuming the guesses are correct and the next expansion is about the Bronze Dragonflight - what are the dragonflights? How do various legendary cards fit into them i.e. Ysera, Alexstrasza, Nozari, etc.

  • I'd like to hear more about the Nagas, the Murlocs and the Defias Brotherhood, please

    Friendly

  • I wouldn't mind more obscure nostalgic characters getting some love, i made this card as a meme a while ago, but i genuinely wouldn't mind seeing more stuff like it in game

     

  • The elementals lord could be a good topic.

    Ragnaros the Firelord, Neptulon, Al'Akir the Windlord and Stonemother Therazane, their corruption by the Old Gods and how they broke free of their control.

    Then why did Rag and Al'Akir came to be allies with Deathwing in Cata, especially Rag, who fought against Deathwing's son, Nefarian for control over Blackrock Mountain.

     

    I think that's a good lore topic.

  • I would say that during the dry seasons of HS, when the meta is figured out and the card changes have already happened, to go back into older expansions and do some digging on those. I never got to raid Naxxramas, Karazhan, or Blackrock Mountain in my WoW days so it'd be nice to get some refreshers on sets of the past.

  • Karazhan is my favourite hearthstone place, while Gilneas is where I started my only wow adventures so much years ago.

    From a lore point of view, the story of Arthas is surely the most interesting.
