The subject of this article or section was exclusively part of WoW's 15th Anniversary. It was not carried over into future events and is no longer available.
The Memories of Azeroth are a set of miniature raid wings that celebrate raids from expansions past. They are accessed by talking to Chromie in the Caverns of Time during the 15th Anniversary event. Each wing contains three encounters that must be defeated in a row; lose a fight and it's back to the start. The encounters consist of brief moments against iconic adversaries defeated by adventurers over the years. Besting a wing will grant access to a Gift of the Bronze Dragonflight, which contains timewarped loot based on the loot tables of the bosses in the wing.
Completing all three wings will grant 
[Memories of Fel, Frost and Fire].
Encounters
Each encounter features only a portion of its original fight. Generally, the encounters start with the boss at partial health, and the group generally needs to deplete their health to a certain percentage.

Notes
- A fourth wing was seemingly planned but never implemented. A section of Blackrock Mountain, Sunwell Plateau and Temple of Ahn'Qiraj appears on the map, but are not accessed.
- When initiating the event, Chromie will allow for adventurers to suggest which boss would be fought first. However, the choices do nothing, and the encounters will always be fought in the same order.
- The real purpose of "choosing" is to begin the first encounter; once three players have picked a dialogue option, Chromie will send the group into battle.
