 The Alliance was finally victorious over the Orcish Horde, driving them back to their magical world rift, and ultimately sealing it, sending the remainder of the Orcs to internment camps. But the cost was heavy, and the Alliance began to splinter under the weight of it s own prejudice. Many years after the victory, the Prince of Lordaeron, a paladin under the service of Uther Lightbringer, and Thrall, the new war chief of the Horde receive a visit from a mysterious prophet, foretelling great danger to any who do not flee across the Great Sea to the west. Although Thrall heeds the advice, the Prince does not. An undead army is rising. Lordaeron is falling. And tales of a powerful evil, the Burning Legion, are spreading. What future lies in store for the world of Azeroth? Will this once peaceful land ever know peace again?
