Blizzard wasted no time at their panel at San Diego Comic Con today. The California based company released three pieces of supplemental lore for their upcoming World of Warcraft: Legion expansion pack in three very different forms. The first is episode one of a new animated series of shorts called World of Warcraft: Harbingers – The Story of Gul’dan. Told from the perspective of the first Orc warlock and series antagonist, the six minute animation tells the story of Gul’dan’s life.
