After killing the dishonorable Warchief Blackhand, Orgrimm Doomhammer quickly seized the reins of the Horde. Now he intends to conquer the rest of Azeroth so that his people - the Orcs - can safely call this place their new home. Anduin Lothar, Champion of Stormwind, left his ruined homeland and led his people across the Great Sea to the shores of Lordaeron. There, with the support of the benevolent King Terenas, he organizes a powerful Alliance with other human nations. But even this is not enough to stop the Horde's merciless assault. Elves, Dwarves and Trolls also join the war, and so begins the great confrontation between the two factions. Will the brave Alliance win or will the Horde's torrents of darkness consume everything in Azeroth?
