The END OF AZEROTH IS NEAR. Azeroth is dying. Together, the Horde and Alliance defeated the demonic Burning Legion, but deep in the bowels of the world an unprecedented catastrophe is brewing. The sword of Sargeras mortally wounded Azeroth to the very heart - this was the last atrocity of the fallen titan. Anduin Wrynn, the king of Stormwind, and Sylvanas Windrunner, the leader of the Horde and queen of the Forsaken, have almost no time either to restore the survivors of the terrible war, or to grieve for what was lost . From the colossal wound inflicted on Azeroth, a mysterious mineral called Azerite flows upward. In worthy hands, a strange golden substance is capable of performing great miracles of creation, but in the wrong hands it will cause unimaginable destruction. While the forces of the Horde and Alliance strive to quickly uncover the secrets of Azerite and heal a dying world, Anduin sets in motion a desperate plan to establish between the Alliance and the Horde lasting peace. Meanwhile, Azerite threatens to upset the balance of power, and Anduin will need Sylvanas' trust to succeed. But the Dark Lady, as usual, has her own dark plans. For reconciliation to become possible, it is necessary to end the long-standing bloody enmity. But there are a number of truths in the world that neither side wants to accept, and ambitions that no one wants to give up. In addition, the Horde and Alliance are realizing the power of Azerite, and the fading but not extinguished conflict threatens to escalate into a new war - a war that could doom all of Azeroth.
