Introduction

After being imprisoned for year thousands within the Twisting Nether by his fellow Titan brethren of the Pantheon, Sargeras now seeks to set himself free and complete his only task: lay the Great Dark under his control. Despite being greatly weakened, Sargeras has managed to gather enough strength over the years to make for his escape. Using his mind control powers, he forces his nephew Golganneth into lowering the power of the chains which he had been held by for almost an eternity. During his escape he nearly kills his nephew and shatters the Shargahn so as to diminish his powers. Not willing to be set-back once again, Sargeras also invades the throne room of the holy chamber and destroys the remaining Titans of light's major power source: The "Globe of Worlds". Leaving his brethren in a weakened state, the Destroyer of Worlds takes the first step toward total chaos and calls upon all the forces of the Burning Legion and revives old, fallen members such as Mannoroth, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden. With the full strength of the Legion back, Sargeras now watches as they invade Azeroth; the last planet in the Great Dark of which the Legion is not yet in control of. Only waiting for his powers to grow back so that he can break his bonds to the Twisting Nether and step into the mortal realm to end it personally, he now watches as the first steps is taken towards Azeroth's final moment of life.

Despite being weakened, the Titan; Aman'thul seeks out a hero of strength on Azeroth, one which he tells to unite the Alliance and the Horde, to gather new factions that will fight together and bring the Legion to its end. Reaching out with success, the prophet Medivh return's after mysteriously disappearing when the Legion lost the Third War. Having heard the call of the High Father, the prophet now seeks out to gather new adventurers of strength that will stand as a line between the Horde and the Alliance in this war. Still trying to help the world as they may, the Titans keep using what powers they have left to grant back the power to old heroes, including the Awakening of the Aspects.

As time goes and Sargeras enjoys the scenery of the prophets work to unite new factions and make the Alliance and the Horde side in these dark tides, he makes his second move: Argus, once the old home planet of the Draenei now works as the Legions major planet of command, to set the fear into the citizen of Azeroth, the Destroyer of Worlds moves the entire planet itself through space and destroys half of it in the process. Placing it over the skies of Azeroth for all mortal eyes to see it's now locked for a full scale battle as the Legion invades Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend and Outland and the Heroes of Azeroth charges upon Argus.

With war ongoing on each planet, the brave Heroes of Azeroth now fight against not only the Legion but time itself as if they can’t claim victory soon enough; Sargeras will step into their realm and undo everything himself. No longer needing to fear for his brethren to stop him again, the Destroyer waits and watches till the moment of his release finally comes.

(To tell at the beginning, any sentence called "united nations" which most likely will be and that have already been mentioned is not an official faction but the short sentence for the Alliance, Horde and The Neutrals in one word.)

New neutral factions

PvP

This expansion includes not only new Battlegrounds and Arena maps but also the old Battlegrounds have gone through a revamp the old ones, returning them to how they (almost) was during their first launch.

• Isle of Aman'thul. A island floating with its own chip of environment to the south of Argus, there is believed to be a Titan relic on it which the Alliance and Horde wants in a hope to use it against the Legion. The battle is split into ten separate pieces, each piece being affected in some "otherworldly" way and the goal is to hold as many pieces for as long time as possible, the Isle will defend itself in time and suddenly destroy certain parts and continuous to do this till only the center of the isle remains, leaving the Alliance and Horde members to battle each other until the relic descends and there is a race to the finish.
• Chip of Madness. It's discovered heavy amounts of resources in different materials and minerals on the backside of the mountain on Sargeria which holds the gate into the Toombs of Nightmare. Seeking to claim these material's for them self’s, the Alliance and Horde enters a vast battle where the goal is to maintain control of oil platforms, mines and woodland machine units until enough resources is gathered to open Siege Workshops that allows the use of heavy machine units to fight one and other and dig into what the mountain got to offer of minerals, the battle is won by the faction that in the end has the highest score divided on resources and the amount of slain members of the opposing faction.
• Throne of the Legion. A unknown force pulls Adventurers into a square shaped box within the Twisting Nether. The Demons surrounding have pulled them inside to watch the slaughter and it's locked for a scale battle between Alliance and Horde members where they have limited time to gain the most kills. The cube they are locked within will tricks at times and remove groundings, level up some points and start moving parts of the floor around. Once the timer reaches 0 the victory goes to the faction with the most kills.
• The Floating Temple. The new outdoor battle ground that takes split purpose between Air combat and land combat. Starting on the backs of Hippogryphs and Wyverns: The Alliance and Horde members must joust each other down as other members of the group attempts to take control of the 10 beacons surrounding the main Temple which is protected. When once faction gains control on 75% of the remaining beacons or the major Temple, the battle is won.

New Arena maps

• Chambers of the Aspects. Is five new Arena maps which change's looks randomly per battle. Having different ways to work and behave pending on what aspect that is taken into use per battle.
• The Coliseum floor. The Coliseum stationed on Sargeria will in time become a plain flat arena floor without any kinds of obstacles to players upon engaging in Arena fight.

(I'm still on the planning stage about more Battlegrounds and Arena maps, if I figure something else up I will add it.)
