I posted this here already, but realized I probably should of put it here in Q&A. Could a mod please that thread?
Is there somewhere I can find/read a comprehensive chronological compilation of GW Lore to read?
I was thinking I could put all the timelines/storylines/primary story dialog from the wiki together in one long document for my reading/studying pleasure, but that would be alot of work. I don't want to do it if someone has already done it.
Comprehensive Chronological Compilation of GW Lore?

There is already a timeline here: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Timeline

I'm sorry, I probably didn't make myself clear.
I was trying to ask if there was a document that put everything together in an almost-novel form.
Timeline + this http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Storyline + campaign dialog, etc.

I don't think Anet has bothered to do this. The information is available on several webpages and the amalgamation of all your needs will probably only happen if one GW fan has enough time to compile all the details together.
More importantly, much of the lore introduced in Nightfall backtracked and explained events prior to Prophecies (such as the destruction of Orr and Arah, and the Ghostly Hero). It means information has been popping up for years, but from different campaigns, making a central hub of Lore very annoying to edit and reform.
Besides, Nightfall is 3 years after Pophecies and Factions, EotN is 3 years after Nightfall, and the WiK is 1 year after EotN. Do you really need to know more than that?

Thanks for the responses. Guess I'll just put eveything together for myself then.
@Fate - I'm wanting to get a comprehensive look at the lore from beginning to end in chronological order (as much as is possible). Its easier for me to process it all if its in "novel form".

The true thread really belongs in Lore forums so closing this one.
