TheWoWDBI guess the "duck" part alludes to the fact that there are no live ducks in WoW, only fake ducks and food. So yes, that's where suspension of disbelief ends. ;)

Description
<Action, adventure, thrills, chills... This book has it all! Penned by a mortal soul who led an amazing life, this book is a page-turner. But is it true? Could one person fight conspiracies, ancient evils, vast enemy armies, demons and even gods in a single lifetime? On further reflection, it could be true, but what is a "duck" this book speaks of? That part sounds fake. Still... it was a good story. Archivist Dreyden would probably be pleased to have his book back.>
