    The war between the Orcs and Humans ended. An uneasy peace settled over the land while, for years, the drums[1] of war were silent. Yet the kingdoms of men grew complacent[2] in their victory - and slowly, the defeated orcish clans[3] regrouped under the banner of a new visionary[4] leader.


    Now a darker shadow has fallen over the world, threatening to extinguish all life - all hope. The drums of war play upon the winds once again - rising urgently towards the inevitable hour when the skies will rain fire - and the world will tremble[5] before the coming of the Burning Legion.


    Our years have passed since the aftermath[6] of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and a great tension now smolders[7] throughout the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the battle-worn[8] races begin to rebuild their shattered[9] kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and ominous[10], arise to plague[11] the world once again.
