||
| − | ==New playable races== |
||
| − | The expansion introduces two new playable races, one for each faction. Both of them have their own two starting zones. The first one is instanced, and thus exclusive for the race. The second one is available for everyone, and will later act as the location for new [[scenarios]]. |

| − | The [[Apexis]] were the most advanced [[arakkoa]] sect of [[Draenor]]. Their civilization was unparalleled, and only the [[draenei]] could compete with them. Their knowledge on planes and other worlds was astonishing for a race that had never left their lands atop [[Blade's Edge Mountains]]. Inexplicably, some day their creations turned against them. They send messengers asking for help, but neither the other arakkoa nor the draenei answered. Only a few orcs of the Thunderlord clan came to their aid. |
||
| + | :::::"4th War" is a fictionnal term. |
||
| − | However, the battle couldn't be won in any way, and they were forced to run away to the primordial plane of nature, with the noble orcs staying behind to help them escape. Inside the plane, they discovered they had been trapped by a dark cult of their own race. Unable to escape, they resigned themselves and fought to build a new home in the savage plane, while the rest of their race fell to the dark cult and lost their original essence, becoming parodies of their former selves. |

||
| − | Years later, a [[Dark Portal|disturbance on the very fabric of Draenor and its planes]] merged their homeworld with another, strange world. The new world, called [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], had similar planes to those of Draenor. With their own plane tore apart, the Apexis moved beyond the new borders and entered the plane of Azeroth, where they were able to live in peace for many years... until now. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The plane of nature of Azeroth, called the [[Emerald Dream]], has powerful defenders Draenor's lacked, but still, they can't protect themselves from the [[Emerald Nightmare|dark forces]] trying to destroy it. Even worse, the [[Old Gods|dark hand]] behind those very forces seems to be the same behind the other arakkoa that betrayed the Apexis decades ago. Unfortunately for them, the Apexis won't lose their home for a third time, and they will fight back and send darkness back to where it belongs. |

| − | *Playable classes: {{Class|Druid}}, {{Class|Hunter}}, {{Class|Mage}}, {{Class|Priest}}, {{Class|Shaman}}, {{Class|Warlock}}, {{Class|Warrior}} |

||
| − | *Racial mount: '''Whirlwalking''' (racial ability) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==New zones== |
||
| − | Unlike most of the previous expansions, the new zones don't compose a new continent. However, unlike ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]'', the separate zones are heavily linked by static portals converging into Heart of the Dreamer, which is also linked with classic zones and a [[capital city]] for each faction: [[Darnassus]] and [[Silvermoon City]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===New level 90-95 zones=== |
||
| − | *{{Neutral}} '''Tel Abim''' (90-91) ([[Kalimdor]]): Lying far southeast the coasts of Kalimdor, the isle is a lush tropical jungle, with lots of exotic plants and fruits. Its remote location has isolated it from the rest of the world, until now. The [[Emerald Nightmare]] has infested the isle, transforming its formerly pacific fauna and flora into vicious monstrosities. Everything from the plants to the insects have grown in epic proportions and have started to slaughter each other. However, the "mutants" aren't the true menace, for the ships can easily dispatch them with cannon fire safely from afar. The real menace is deep in the jungle, where the [[shadow satyr]]s nurture fields of thousands and thousand of spores that, shall they mature and fly away to further lands, would extend the plague that already infests [[Tel Abim]]. |
||
| − | *{{Neutral}} '''Great Canyon of Khaz Modan''' (91-92) ([[Eastern Kingdoms]]): Stretching from [[Twilight Highlands]] to [[Swamp of Sorrows]], this mountainous land is cruel and desolated. The few explorers that ventured into it found nothing but the elements at their crudest harshness and failed centuries old [[Dark Iron clan]] mining attempts. The main reason for all of this can be found atop the highest peak, location of the original lair of the [[Black dragonflight]]. The lair was abandoned during during the [[War of the Ancients]], and [[black dragon]]s only used it as stops along the way. Nowadays, the only inhabitants are a few miners, who try to reclaim the treasures of this land, and the [[shaman]]s of the [[Earthen Ring]], who watch over the canyon, while they train the new generations of uncorrupted black dragons. The objective of the Emerald Nightmare in this land is unclear, and the answer may lie deep in the bottom of the vast unexplored cave system. |
||
| − | *{{Neutral}} '''Uldaman Conservatory''' (92-93): Deep below the surface of the titan city of [[Uldaman]] lies an underground world, a haven for long extinct creatures and titanic creations, with forests and rivers of its own, and even a fiery orb hanging from the highest part of the cavern, emulating days and nights. It's there, in the sky of stone of this lost world, where the heart of Uldaman lies. Hidden temples and libraries, the last chapter of the legacy of the makers, that wasn't found in neither any of the excavations at Badlands nor the other titan cities. Secrets that go beyond anything found before, secrets of the very creation of this world and its planes. Secrets that would doom the Emerald Dream, and consequently [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], if the forces of the Emerald Nightmare reclaim them. |
||
| − | *{{Neutral}} '''Heart of the Dreamer''' (93-94): The heart is an unique place, located in the very center of the Emerald Dream. It houses the headquarters of the [[Green dragonflight]], as well as the homes of many dream creatures, like [[arakkoa]] and [[worgen]]. The strongest links to Azeroth can be found here, too, as portals to [[Great Tree]]s across Azeroth. The [[green dragon]] [[Dragon Aspects|aspect]] [[Ysera]], the Queen of Dreams, rules over the Emerald Dream from [[Eye of Ysera|her palace]] above the zone. Unfortunately, she has fallen ill once again, while the Emerald Nightmare assaults the heart and tears it apart more and more with each passing day. Shall the heart fall to the corruption of the nightmare, Azeroth itself will fall right after it. |
||
| − | *{{Neutral}} '''Depths of the Nightmare''' (94-95): Beyond the [[Rift of Aln]] lies a world of madness, a twisted dark place, a world of unspeakable horrors, that rage to be freed upon the reality. It's here, in this sealed terrible plane, where the spirit of [[N'Zoth]], Old God of Nightmares, was trapped after its death at the hands of the titans millenia ago. From the shadows of the city of [[Ny'alotha]], it has plotted its revenge for ages: free this realm over the world, destroying everything. To save Azeroth, its defenders will need to travel to this realm, overcome their most inner fears and slay the champions of the Emerald Niightmare. The plans of the [[Old Gods]] must be stopped before all the defenders love becomes their own worst nightmare. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===New starting zones=== |
||
| − | *{{Alliance}} '''Seaspire Plateau''' (1-6) (instanced): The main holdings of the [[naga]] empire after the [[Eye (Maelstrom)|Eye of the Maelstrom]], the underwater plateau is located at the center of the [[South Seas]], where all underwater currents converge. These currents are used as the empire's main transport system, a transporting that includes slaves of all kinds, even naga who don't please [[Queen Azshara|their empress]]. Recently, slaves have started to disappear, teleported away across a portal to a mysterious digsite on [[Ny'alotha|some sort of sunken city]]. One day, a slave managed to escape back and tell the others the horrors that await at the other side of the portal, horrors that will urge them to escape from where no one else escaped before. |
||
| − | *{{Alliance}} '''Kul Tiras''' (6-12) ([[Eastern Kingdoms]]): . |
||
| − | *{{Horde}} '''Heart of the Dreamer''' (1-6) (instanced): . |
||
| − | *{{Horde}} '''Amani Forestland''' (6-12) ([[Eastern Kingdoms]]): The home of the Apexis has collapsed outside the Emerald Dream, upon the physical world of Azeroth, in the eastern forestlands of [[Quel'Thalas]]. However, this land is all but empty. The native [[forest troll]]s fight each other for supremacy, and won't hesitate to call a truce to fight against the arakkoa intruders. If that wasn't worrying enough, the druids suspect some of the trolls are working with the [[Emerald Nightmare]], and that the landing here isn't a coincidence. The arakkoa will need to find new allies, and find them soon, if they want to avoid extermination. |

- "4th War" is a fictionnal term.
- The battles of Wotlk and Cata seem (imo) to be an "introduction" to the MoP Global War said to be the main focus of the expansion.
