LoreTeller Vanilla

LoreTeller adds a cinematic narrator to your questing experience in World of Warcraft: Classic. When you pick up a quest, a dramatic narrator voice plays — setting the scene, introducing the characters, and giving context to what you're about to do. Think of it as an audiobook layer on top of your questing.

Every narrator line is a handcrafted, AI-generated summary written specifically for spoken delivery. Quest chains are aware of each other, if you just killed a boss's soldiers, the next line will acknowledge that before sending you after the general.

LoreTeller Classic (the "vanilla" build for WoW Classic Era 1.15) is a voiced quest-narration addon. Here's what it does for a player:

When you play through vanilla, it reads your quests aloud to you. As you accept a quest, hit objective progress, or open the quest log, it plays pre-recorded narration audio of the quest's story/context, paired with an on-screen narrator frame (a portrait or icon "talking head"). So instead of skimming quest text, you get the lore read to you like an audiobook while you play.

Key end-user features from the code:

Automatic triggers — narration fires on quest accept, objective progress, right-clicking the tracker, or a button added to the quest log.
Content is split by continent — separate audio packs for Eastern Kingdoms (vanilla_ek) and Kalimdor (vanilla_kalimdor), riding on a shared core addon that holds no data.
Quest-type filters — you choose what gets narrated: regular side quests on by default; campaign, daily, and world quests off by default (campaign already has Blizzard voice/cutscenes).
Playback controls — volume, voice selection, speech rate, narration delay, and a "manual playback" mode that queues lines so you replay each on a keybind instead of hearing them auto-play.
Audio ducking — optionally dims other game sound channels while a line plays.
Portrait display — show a full portrait, a small icon, or turn the visual off entirely.
Slash commands (/wn or /narrator) — toggle on/off, adjust settings, reset the session, and run diagnostics.

In short: it turns silent vanilla quest text into voiced narration with a narrator portrait, configurable per continent and per quest type.
