Other Notes

• Dragonhunt covers the fall of Tarren Mill, which occurs before Brann Bronzebeard's journey through Hillsbrad in Lands of Conflict. Ghostlands occurs not long after Brann's journey through Quel'Thalas in Lands of Conflict. Brann reached Quel'Thalas during his journey, before the blood elves had retaken Silvermoon, or any areas in Quel'Thalas.

• The prologue states that the story takes place after the events of Frozen Throne, and discusses that Arthas has already donned Ner'zhul's helm.

• Some think this story takes place between WC3 and Frozen Throne. Arthas is shown in scenes as having not yet fused with the Lich King, and Tarren Mill hasn't been destroyed. However, the scenes with Arthas without the helm are actually "flashbacks" in the mind of the characters.
