And yet, even as this Silent War between these groups continues to remain silent, each power finds itself in smaller conflicts along or within their borders. For the world now stands divided between several great and lesser powers, and tensions between them keep the world perched on the edge of a knife. But there is no peace to be had on Azeroth, it seems. It was only by luck, cunning and supreme sacrifice that they were repelled, and many fear that sooner or later, the Burning Legion will try again, coming once more to the world that has defied them twice.Īzeroth cries out for peace, for calm, and it is something it's people desperately need. The second invasion of the Burning Legion changed the world in ways exceeded only by their first - entire Kingdoms were destroyed, peoples ruined, and lands scarred permanently.

It has been four years since Illidan tried twice to destroy the Lich King, and four years since he or Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider have been seen on Azeroth, and four years since Maiev Shadowsong followed him into Outland.

Four years since the Night Elves learned just how much ignoring the rest of the world had cost them. It has been four years since the Night Elves lost their immortality, isolation, and for some at least, much of their arrogance. It has been four years since Arthas and Ner'zhul became one in the form of the Lich King, and yet four years since the Scourge have been on the warpath - Kel'Thuzzad still commands the Plaguelands for his King, and the Scourge's hold on frozen Northrend seems tighter than ever, and yet the Scourge waits. Three years since their alliance with the Tauren resulted in Mulgore being reclaimed entirely for that race, driving the centaurs from the region. It has been five years since the Orcs and Darkspear Trolls settled Kalimdor, founding Orgrimmar and establishing the Horde as the dominant power in central Kalimdor.

Five years since Arthas Menethil destroyed his own kingdom and that of the High Elves and four years since Sylvanas Windrunner became the Queen of much of what he left behind. It has been four years since the Battle of Mount Hyjal, five years since the war that Stormwind Historians insist on calling 'The Third War' began and ravaged the continents of Lordaeron and Kalimdor.
