"In the harsh cold northlands, The Lich King Arthas has set in motion events that could lead to the extinction of all life on Azeroth. With the armies of the undead and the necromantic power of the plague threatening to sweep across the land, only the mightiest heroes can oppose the Lich King's will and end his reign of terror for all time ...."Yikes!
Another World of Warcraft project, The Wrath of the Lich King, has just wrapped up at Mondadori Verona. This latest oversized volume is a full color atlas of Azeroth and Northrend, vast regions in which World of Warcraft players do battle. Much of the lingo is baffling to the uninitiated. For example I wonder what "if there's no mage around to offer a port and your hearthstone's still got some cooldown ...." might mean??? However, these volumes are clearly aimed at WoW enthusiasts, eager to decipher the locations of dungeons and rare spawning mobs ....
I like to think that these Atlases are an example of how the web and on-line media are adding new opportunities to create projects in the print world. And like every other WoW fan, I look forward to the next World of Warcraft blockbuster!
