WoW lore and backstory?

[Azazel]

I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a link to where obsessive nerds may have collated the various backstories and lore of WoW so other nerds like myself can read them?

Things like how Thrall came to power, what's really going on in Stormwind, History of the 6 different flavours of elves and what they have to do with the trolls, all that kinda crap..

thanks,

The instruction booklet gives you most of the lore leading up to the game, and there's always wikipedia.

There's a bunch of stuff on the main wow site as well.

also has a fair bit of accumulated information, but tends to be a bit haphazard in its orgainzation
