Elegy

Elegy is a World of Warcraft novella by Christie Golden. It recounts the War of the Thorns from the Alliance's point of view, while its companion novella A Good War details the Horde perspective. Both novellas take place simultaneously. The story takes place after the events of Before the Storm.
A limited edition hardback book containing both A Good War and Elegy along with exclusive original artwork will be included in the World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Collector's Edition. Both stories were announced to become available online later in 2018, but buying the Collector's Edition would remain the only way to own the hardback version containing original artwork. The digital version of the stories was released on August 6, 2018.
