After what seemed like ages of bloody conflict, the world thought it had at last found peace. The war against the brutish orcs had come to a definitive conclusion, and the remnants of the horde had been rounded into enclaves and kept under guard. Soon after the lands started rebuilding, a new monstrous evil arose. The demonic army of the Burning Legion, united with the ghoulish undead scourge, swept over human and orc realms alike, forcing old enemies to band together. Yet, not until the coming of the mysterious Night Elves and the sacrifice of countless lives was the Burning Legion crushed. Nearly all of the elven kingdom of Quel’Thalas and the human kingdom of Lordaeron lay in ruins, transformed into foul plaguelands by the scourge. Now, an unsteady stalemate exists between living and undead, and forces from both sides seek out that which will decisively dip the scales in their favor. This is it that a young blue dragon wings his way toward what little remains of Southern.
