The banished Grimtotem tribe has returned to Mulgore with the destruction of their refuge lands to the north by the hands of the satyrs. From Outland came the chaos orcs to join the Horde, and from Draenor uncorrupted brown orcs. With the Horde's military conquests in both Draenor and Outland, the orcs ranks have increased significantly. A resistance was formed and many Man'ari defected from the Burning Legion, joining the Alliance and their long lost Draenei brethren. Soon, the Exodar sent many of their priests and prophets to meet with various Man'ari regiments. The corrupted Man'ari were sent to invade and conquer the Bloodmyst Isle. Created with the purpose of protecting Azeroth, the mechagnomes have answered the planet-wide call to arms against the Burning Legion and have joined the gnomes of New Gnomergan. With the reintroduction of the arcane into Darnassus, the Highborne have once against found themselves as accepted citizens of Kaldorei society.ĭeep in the mines of Uldaman, the mechagnomes have made a home. With the destruction of their homelands, the Ironforge, Wildhammer and Dark Iron clans have come together as one people the dwarfs. The dwarfish peoples have united under one nation in the Wetlands. Azotha are slightly more primitive, tribal ancestors of the humans. With the invasion of the Burning Legion, lost tribes of Azotha have left their secluded mountain homelands in Stranglethorn Vale and have joined the Alliance. But, before Argus, the capital of the Burning Legion as a whole, could be invaded, the Coalition would first have to secure control of the planet in between, Xoroth, the flaming world. The Prophet Velen convinced both Vol'jin and Varian Wrynn to form a temporary Coalition between the two factions in order to destroy the Burning Legion. After the conquest of Durotar and Dun Morogh, the demonic armies were pushed back and Kul Tiras was taken by the Horde and the Alliance. The invasion of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms followed soon after. Due to its seclusion from the rest of the world after its mysterious disappearance with the Cataclysm, the Burning Legion was capable of amassing a large military presence on the world without being detected.

Using the magic of the local mage towers, the warlocks were able to summon a portal to Xoroth, letting demonic armies march into Azeroth and conquer the island nation. The Kirin Tor of the lost island of Kul Tiras has been taken over by warlocks led by a disguised Gul'dan. The Gul'dan of the alternate universe has found himself a second chance.
