Ow...my head hurts...

I used the SM Library as a quick location to find these books.  These books can be found in other places around the world and match those that are found there in SM Library.  Also, those books are written with what has happened in the past Warcraft RTS games and what information has been released in novels and the like.

The idea has nothing to do with SM, besides to give the example. The books in the game may contain the information in some form, but the game's writers may have added the "slant" of the supposed author. I have read a book in game claiming that the trolls came before the elves, and a book in the game claiming that the elves came before the trolls (I think...this was a while back). I believe each book was in an area of the race that supposedly came first.

All Im trying to say is that the writers for the game could've written the in-game info with this idea of an author's slant in mind, putting down what could be called fact, but is biased by the fictional author. Stuff that is written in a real life novel or an RPG book doesn't follow this because there is no fictional author of the information, so there is no "bias".

In other words, the information in the real world isn't how someone is seeing the facts, it is the facts, while the books in game could have been written to be someone take on an event, and as such may not be the entire truth.
