interlude home azeroth storIes of at
foreword
It’s time once again for our yearly Interlude, and this one is a long time coming... Interlude: Stories of Azeroth at Home! For our fourth issue, our contributors were charged with telling tales about their Warcraft characters in a domestic setting, celebrating the launch of World of Warcraft’s Midnight expansion, and the release of the long-awaited housing feature! AT LAST!
After years of playing WoW, many of us have grown very attached to our player characters, which is by design; World of Warcraft is a game with a rich world full of potential not just for participating in the main narrative, but ekeing out a place, physical or spiritual, on Azeroth for your character. Whether it was where they were born, where they adventured to, or where they currently reside, where our characters make their homes is something that many of us have naturally put a lot of thought into. And not only that: what, in fact, does “home” mean to our characters? Is it a place to hang their trophies from battle, or a place
to cultivate inner peace away from the spoils of war? Is their home full of friends, family, and loved ones... or do they enjoy a life of solitude? Are they nomadic, or do they want to settle down? After all, there are so many steps between “house” and “home” to explore besides domestic bliss, and all of them are fascinating to explore.
For so very long, players have yearned for a place in the game to make their own, roleplayers not the least of which! The opportunity to finally have our own customizable homes in-game has no doubt drawn countless players back from retirement, eager to design and build and dream. We hope this inspired collection of comics by our incredible contributors delights and entertains you, reader; perhaps, even compel you to muse on your own character’s humble lodgings. Let us invite you in as our guest! Welcome home, dear reader... Welcome home.
