Miscellaneous Trivia:

  • With the release of Reign of Chaos in July 2002, Blizzard would go on to release Warcraft-related games exclusively for the next 8 years. Their first non-Warcraft related game after this period was StarCraft II, released July 2010.
  • The America-based Russian studio behind the animated cutscenes of The Legend of Zelda CD-i Games and I. M. Meen, Animation Magic, were some time later contracted to do the animation for the Warcraft spin-off Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. Said game was later cancelled due to the popularity decline of adventure games at the time but still, they hired the staff responsible for some extremely infamous scenes, even if what few screenshots from the game that have been seen look a lot better than the studio's previous claims to fame.
  • The series' name was coined by Samwise Didier, Blizzard's art director, named after a Dungeons & Dragons character of his. As could probably be expected by its closest sounding word, the idea for it was being an opposite to witchcraft.
  • The character Samuro also was inspired by a Dungeons & Dragons character of Samwise Didier named "Grumok the Wanderer".
