Azeroth History - WARCRAFT III: REIGN OF CHAOS
WARNING: HISTORY MAY GIVE AWAY ENDINGS TO WARCRAFT GAMES!
617
Beckoned by a mysterious prophet, Thrall leads the orcish Horde across the sea to the land of Kalimdor.
The prophet travels to Lordaeron to warn King Terenas of the undead plague and the coming of the Legion, but the King refuses to act, believing the Alliance's internal matters are a greater priority.
Ner'zhul, the Lich King of the Scourge, begins to corrupt the human lands of Lordaeron with his undead plague. The noble Paladin Arthas, after witnessing the Scourge's corruption of his homeland, sets out for Northrend to even the score. While in the icy wastes at the roof of the world, he succumbs to Ner'zhul's will when he takes up the runeblade Frostmourne. Now a Death Knight, he returns to Lordaeron, slays King Terenas, and turns the kingdom over to the Scourge.
The undead army completely annihilates the high elf kingdom of Quel'Thalas and its capital city of Silvermoon, as Arthas uses the Sunwell's energies to resurrect Kel'Thuzad. On a hill overlooking Dalaran, Kel'Thuzad summons Archimonde the Defiler into the world of Azeroth. One of Sargeras' two lieutenants, Archimonde proceeds to lay waste to Dalaran with his demonic magics.
The Burning Legion commences its invasion of Azeroth by conquering Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, slaughtering most of the remaining inhabitants in those lands.
In Kalimdor, the Horde separates as Thrall follows the Prophet while Grom Hellscream and his Warsong clan, sent to prepare a new orc settlement, inadvertently make enemies of the night elves by defiling the edges of Ashenvale Forest.
Manipulated by Mannoroth the Destructor and Tichondrius the Darkener, Grom Hellscream's Warsong clan slays Cenarius, one of the principle defenders of Ashenvale and the World Tree.
Having fled the ruins of Lordaeron, Jaina Proudmoore and her band of human survivors form a pact with Thrall to free Grom Hellscream from Mannoroth's blood curse.
Grom Hellscream falls in battle to Mannoroth. However, he manages to slay the demon before he dies, freeing himself and the Horde from the Burning Legion's curse.
The Burning Legion launches its invasion of Ashenvale, hoping to defeat the night elves and consume the magics of the World Tree.
Tyrande Whisperwind, hoping that Illidan Stormrage's power will prove useful in defeating the Legion, releases the Demon Hunter from his prison.
Illidan is manipulated by Arthas and the Lich King to steal the Skull of Gul'dan, which turns him into a night elf-demon hybrid. Infused with the artifact's energies, Illidan slays Tichondrius and deals a setback to Archimonde's plans. Sensing Illidan's demonic taint, Furion banishes his wayward brother from Kalimdor and Illidan angrily departs.
Furion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind summon the full magical fury of the World Tree as Thrall and Jaina Proudmoore desperately hold off Archimonde's assault. As Archimonde finally breaks through and attempts to drain the World Tree of its magics, he is consumed and destroyed by the combined force of the spellcasters and Nordrassil itself.
The Prophet reveals himself to be Medivh, the sorcerer who once opened the Dark Portal. He has come to finish his guardianship of Azeroth and pass on the mantle of stewardship to the humans, orcs and night elves, who have formed a truce. The world of Azeroth slowly begins to heal.
