Pyromelter,
thanks! I was wondering about that, and whether it was retconned. Also, I wondered about some other parts in that "old" lore, like the part about "The eredar, an insidious race of devilish sorcerers"... well, later on, he picked two of their champions, Archimonde and Kil'Jaeden. However, when I read "Rise Of The Horde", it sounded much more like the eredar were not actually a totally evil race, as Velen was one of them, and sounded more like most of them or at least two of their leaders (Archimonde and Kil'Jaeden) were corrupted, drawn to doing evil things by Sargeras.
If the statement I posted was true, wouldnt that mean that Velen was a bad guy who changed his ways, instead of him and his brothers being offered to step into the dark side, with him refusing to do so?

So, yeah, maybe Blizz should add a disclaimer to those old articles saying "This is the original version, we changed some of this" or whatever.
Thanks for your reply!
