Introduction

After the destruction of the Iron Horde in Draenor and the prevention of a Burning Legion invasion caused by Gul'dan and Ner'zhul involvements with Kil'Jaeden in the alternate timeline, the Dark Portal was once again contained and sealed. While some heroes from Draenor came to aid both Horde and Alliance forces after the war in Draenor, most of what happened there was considered irrelevant, since that timeline was destroyed by the defeat of Kairozdormu. But, even with the recent events, the Burning Legion return was imminent. A major attack was planned and is now happening in Azeroth. Fel flames and asteroids falling from the skies, large demons attacking the most important places in Azeroth, leaving nothing behind. After a difficult battle, Horde and Alliance forces surprisingly detained the Burning Legion attackers and ordered an urgent pushback. With the tips from the devils left behind, the excentric Goblins and the super-intelligent gnomes could discover the mystery that surrounded that surprise invasion: the attacks came from Argus, the original homeworld of the eredar and now a stronghold of the magnificent Burning Legion. Now, both Horde and Alliance members should venture in this mysterious land full of demons and terrifying creatures to significantly damage the old and feared Legion in what could be a major comedown against Azeroth's greatest enemy.

Featured Characters

In the middle of a distopic land consumed by war and chaos, many new heroes - and villains - will rise along with the old ones to fight for a greater good - or evil.

Heroes

• Alleria Windrunner - The legendary ranger and one of the Windrunner sisters, Alleria has been disappeared since the destruction of original Draenor. After years missing, she is found hiding in a cave south of the Stormy Valley, along with some of the survivors from recent Legion attacks. She accepts to stand with the Alliance in this delicate moment, but only after saving her lover, Turalyon, from the hands of the Burning Legion.
• Turalyon - A former paladin in service of the Alliance, Turalyon disappeared along Alleria. He is now being kept in the Burning Stronghold, in the center of Kil'jaedenia. It is unknown if he is well or alive, since he has been kept in a prison deep below the grounds for two years. Alleria is trying to save her lover from chains, but still doesn't know how.
• Rexxar - The great half-orc that helped in the founding of Durotar is back. After years of exclusion from any social contact, Rexxar is called by the Warchief, Vol'Jin. He is informed that the Horde needs him more than ever to protect their lands against the Legion invasion, a request that he accepts with honor and respect. After defending Orgrimmar and Durotar from the Legion attacks, he decides to join his former partners to set foot on Argus and destroy the Burning Legion's stronghold located there.
• Orgrim Doomhammer - Brought to our timeline from the Alternate Draenor, Orgrim is Thrall's best choice to lead the Horde troops in Argus and free Azeroth from their greatest enemy.
• Wrathion - The last Black Dragon and a good strategist, Wrathion is the leading force of the attacks on Argus. He seeks to destroy the Legion to protect Azeroth from its destruction and will do anything he can to achieve his goal.

Villains

• Kil'Jaeden - One of Sargera's most competent followers, Kil'Jaeden has built his own stronghold (and, consequently, the Legion's) on the surface of Argus. He is kept inside a powerful crystal, being healed by his minions from his injuries on the fight of the Sunwell, waiting for his awakening.
• Talgath - The Regent-Master of Argus while Kil'Jaeden's is being healed, Talgath is surely one the best acting bodies of the Burning Legion. Deep inside his Palace, in the Shire of the Eternal Sorrows, he keeps watching everything that happens in his lands. Now that the most infamous heroes of Azeroth have appeared to destroy his holdings, Talgath now has little time to awake Kil'Jaeden to defend his planet, which is something he'll do by all costs.
• Mephistroth - Leader of the Dreadlords, Mephistroth defends a large portion of Kaarinos from his lair, The Shattered Temple. He will destroy everyone who stands on his way to empower the Burning Legion, even if he has to die to do so.
• Varimathras - After his defeat on Undercity, Varimathras has been given a new chance from Mephistroth: the Leader of the Dreadlords rescued his soul from the Twisting Nether and emprisoned it into a body similar to his former. Now, Varimathras, empowered with the souls of Balnazzar and Detheroc, other fallen agents of the Burning Legion, has the task to heal Kil'Jaeden's wounds along with other demons to prevent Argus from its fall - since Argus can only be considered nothing without its original ruler.

Other Characters

• Med'an - Guardian of Tirisfal and a founder of the New Council of Tirisfal, he is one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Throughout his journey around the universe, Med'an found something interesting in Argus: the Angussian Scrolls, old tomes full of history and power that keep the secret of the Titans and many of their accomplishments throughout the universe. With the challenge in mind to find them, the brave hero swore that he would be succesful. The only thing he didn't know is that many of his friends (such as his great-uncle Maraad and mother Garona) would also be venturing into Argus, too. Now, he will get to know what is a family; but first he has to complete his mission while avoiding the death of his beloved.
• Harthal Truesight - A former paladin of the Scarlet Crusade, now wants revenge against the Legion for all that they caused. Upon seeing the evil that took control over Stratholme, the town he was born, Harthal realized that the Burning Legion was the responsible for that and for many other casualties. He is sided with the heroes of The Waking Pact, just waiting for the moment of his vengeance.
• Jessera of Mac'Aree - One of the most succesful heroes of Mac'Aree, Jessera seeks revenge against Kil'Jaeden for destroying his beloved planet and turning it into a Legion's stronghold.
• Anduin Wrynn - The prince of Stormwind, Anduin Wrynn is curious about Argus and what secrets can be found in that place. After a fight with his father, Varian Wrynn, he now wants to follow his own path: the path of Light.
• Illidan Stormrage - Revived by Wrathion's little experiences of necromancy, Illidan now seeks to teach new demon hunters to join his forces against the Burning Legion.
