Following the Second War, the ruined fortress of Baradin Hold on the remote island of Tol Barad was converted into a prison for some of the most dangerous forces on Azeroth. Yet with the devastation wrought by the Cataclysm, the prison's integrity has been compromised. Now as the Horde and Alliance vie for supremacy on the island, the liberation of its forgotten horrors may be at hand.

As Xal'atath launches a devastating assault against the Sunwell, the fate of Quel'Thalas hangs by a thread. Great threats have risen from the swirling chaos of the Voidstorm, the ruins of the Amani Empire, and the blooming depths of Harandar. In this hour of reckoning, only the bold will stand against the coming darkness.

From its stronghold on Argus, the Legion employs a vast array of portals to spread across the cosmos like a plague. Countless worlds have been plundered for resources, their inhabitants forced to serve the Dark Titan or endure a slow, agonizing death. Unless these worlds can be liberated, the Burning Crusade will consume everything it touches and leave the universe in ashes.

The Shadowlands are the lands beyond the mortal realm of Azeroth, where the souls of the dead travel to upon passing. The Arbiter, a being of great power, once guided these souls to one of many different afterlives. Now, all souls are being sent to the Maw, a place of eternal torment. The denizens of the Shadowlands, from the peaceful Kyrians of Bastion and the Night Fae of Ardenweald to the cunning Venthyr of Revendreth and warlike Necrolords of Maldraxxus, must now come together to stem the flow of souls.

Once, the skies of the Dragon Isles were filled with the dragons of the five flights. But thousands of years ago the dragonflights left to defend Azeroth from those that threatened the world. Recently, however, the Isles have reawakened and called their long-absent caretakers to return. They were not alone--four great primal dragons have also arrived: Basrikron, wielder of earth and shale; Strunraan, master of electric tempests; Bazual, manipulator of flame; and Liskanoth, mistress of ice and cold.

Khaz Algar's depths have been met with great disturbances in recent times. With the Coreway disrupted and the nerubians on the rise, other threats have arisen as well. Kordac, the Dormant Protector has risen to defend the Isle of Dorn. In the Ringing Deeps, an Aggregation of Horrors awaits. Hallowfall's waters have been disturbed by Shurrai, Atrocity of the Undersea. And in the depths of Azj-Kahet, the deepwalker Orta, the Broken Mountain, has been twisted by Black Blood.

Shrouded in mists since the world was sundered ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures. It is the homeland of the enigmatic pandaren, a race that celebrates life to the fullest even while under siege by an ancient menace.

World bosses

While many of the greatest threats to peace in Azeroth are locked away in ancient vaults or perched atop soaring fortresses, others walk brazenly beneath the open sky. As self-preservation drives the wise to seek shelter from these terrors, glory awaits any brave heroes who wish to test their mettle against the most powerful of foes.

This area once stood as the cradle of elven civilization, centered around the ancient elven capital of Suramar, until the Sundering tore the land apart. While the power of the Nightwell preserved the city of Suramar, the surrounding lands bear the scars of that catastrophic event. But now Gul'dan has awakened the Tomb of Sargeras, and from the tauren camps in the peaks of Highmountain, to the druidic groves of Val'sharah, to vrykul settlements that dot Stormheim, the Isles live in the shadow of the Legion.
