Exploring Azeroth with Thalyssra and Lor’themar Theron
Islands and Isles will be the fifth installment in the Exploring Azeroth series. Like previous books in this series, it will follow in-game characters as they explore a part of Azeroth – this time First Arcanist Thalyssra and Lord Regent Lor’themar Theron, who are finally taking their honeymoon, after delaying it for years. The author, Alex Acks, also wrote the previous two Exploring Azeroth books: Northrend and Pandaria.
Unlike previous installments, which have always chosen a single continent to explore, Islands and Isles promises to cover the Broken Isles, Kul Tiras, Zandalar, and the Dragon Isles – the major destinations of three separate expansions. Though this means the currently available map of Azeroth will have been pretty much fully documented in the Exploring Azeroth series, this doesn’t necessarily mean the series is coming to an end. There’s plenty more of Azeroth to explore… perhaps the next Exploring Azeroth book, like the next expansion, will take us underground.
Betwixt the sweeping seas of Azeroth, islands and isles await, bursting with splendid treasures—powerful artifacts, enchanted armor, and rousing tales from ages past. With duty delaying their honeymoon for years, First Arcanist Thalyssra and Lord Regent Lor’themar Theron finally resolve to set sail, seeking the perfect setting to celebrate their love. Join the happy couple as they travel to distant shores, scouting for the perfect sunset and learning that it is the journey—and those with whom we share it—that should be cherished most. From the magnificent Suramar and the lush jungles of Zandalar to the rugged seas of Kul Tiras and the verdant beaches of the Dragon Isles, Exploring Azeroth: Islands & Isles is your next step in a charming voyage across Azeroth.
Lord Regent Lor’themar Theron, leader of the Blood Elves, and First Arcanist Thalyssra, leader of the Nightborne, were married sometime in the three-year period between Shadowlands and Dragonflight. Since the two are faction leaders, it makes sense that they’ve been too busy to enjoy a honeymoon before now. It’s a good thing they’re grabbing the opportunity while they have a chance, because we imagine both will have even more to worry about in Midnight, the expansion coming after War Within, that will be set in Quel’Thalas, and involves all the elves of Azeroth.
