Timeline

This article compiles all the official timelines and sources published by Blizzard into a non-exhaustive timeline of recorded important events in the Warcraft universe.

• A few quests mentioned that Cataclysm took place 6 years after World of Warcraft. However, multiple other sources - including Blizzard - established that the gap between World of Warcraft and Cataclysm was only 3 years.
• The events of 15-20 ADP regarding Thrall's forming of the new Horde, and the liberation of the internment camps faces some discrepancy in the dating. Chronicle does not specify any dates for these events, but puts them between Kel'Thuzad's fall (15 ADP) and Aegwynn's ressurection of Medivh (18 ADP). The Ultimate Visual Guide, as well as 04 and 07 timelines on the website, puts these events at 18-19 ADP. As chronicle is the newest source of information and is as clear as mud, they are simply listed as 15-18 ADP, but take those dates with a grain of salt.
