Storylines and People Stories in Lore Forever
Willo
Storylines are the quest chains you're on: Lore Forever names the storyline under a quest's title, lists the ones you've started on its Storylines bookmark, and has the narrator retell what you've done at big turning points. People stories are the narrated pages about the characters you meet. Hover or target someone and press your Lore Forever key to read or hear theirs.

What is a storyline in Lore Forever?
A storyline is a chain of quests that tell one story, like Westfall: The Defias Brotherhood. When a quest is part of one, Lore Forever says so under its title on the quest window and in the quest log, and at the top of the quest's own story:
Storyline · Westfall: The Defias Brotherhood
It never says which step you're on, how many steps there are, or where it ends. A storyline is named after its first quest, and the name only shows once you've started that quest. Quests up to level 40 count.
What does the Storylines bookmark show?
Open the Lore Forever panel (/lore) and pick the Storylines bookmark on the right edge of the book. It lists the storylines you're on, newest first. Click one to see the quests of it you've found. Never the ones you haven't, and never how many are left. No spoilers, promise.
What are storyline hints and recaps?
Two little helpers, both on by default in Options:
- Storyline hints in chat: when you turn in a storyline quest, chat says who to see next, with links to its recap and to what's new in the story.
- Storyline recaps: at a storyline's turning points, the narrator retells what you've done so far. That's before you head in for its last fight, halfway through a long one, and when it ends. Never during a fight.
Don't want them? Untick Show storylines on quests, Storyline hints in chat or Storyline recaps in Options (/lore options).
What are people stories?
Pages about the characters of WoW Forever: quest givers, innkeepers, leaders, bosses. Each one tells who they are and what's troubling them, kept to the story as it stands in Forever's year, with later twists held back as spoilers.
Ways to find them:
- Hover someone and press your Lore Forever key: their page opens.
- Target them and open the panel: Here offers "Who is" with their name at the top.
- Press Play narration with them targeted or hovered to hear their story next.
- Their tooltip shows a one-line bit of lore (
/lore tooltipsturns that on or off).

Are people stories narrated?
Many are. The main download includes narrated characters of the Alliance and Horde lands. The free more people packs on loreforeverwow.com/downloads add hundreds more, in the male or female narrator's voice. Install the ones you want, and their play buttons appear.
Can I talk to those people instead?
With me, yes, on Champion and up, or in your first days' trial! Target them, hold Their key (F7, unless your game already uses it) and ask. They answer as themselves. You'll need the free add-on and Live game info on in my Settings › Basics. Here's how it works.
Or ask me about them: "Who is Gryan Stoutmantle, and why does he care about Westfall?"
