||
| − | Five years after the [[Battle for Mount Hyjal]], the fragile truce between the [[Horde]] and [[Alliance]] had all but evaporated. In the wake of the [[Third War]] and [[The Founding of Durotar]], the [[Forsaken]] entered a partnership of convenience with the Horde while the [[night elves]] and [[gnomes]] emerged from ages of solitude to join the Alliance. For another year the armistice held, though tensions continued to mount as worldwide conflicts drew the two sides closer to all-out war and fighting erupted in strategic [[battlegrounds]]. Despite these frequent skirmishes, the Horde and Alliance often set aside their differences and joined forces to face a number of threats. |

| − | In time the [[blood elves]] and [[draenei]] led them through the [[Dark Portal]] to wage the [[War in Outland]] against the [[Burning Legion]]. Following the year-long campaign in [[Outland]], the Horde returned to Azeroth with a new ally in the [[Mag'har]], led by [[Garrosh Hellscream]]. Soon, the long-missing [[Varian Wrynn]] put an end to {{npc||Onyxia}}'s schemes and returned to reclaim the throne of [[Stormwind]]. Attempts at diplomacy between [[Thrall]] and Wrynn soon fell apart as a peace conference in [[Theramore]] was ambushed by the [[Twilight's Hammer]]. Attention quickly turned northward, however, as the looming threat of the {{npc||Lich King}} bore down on the mortal races of Azeroth. |

Though fighting a common enemy, tensions between the Horde and Alliance grew swiftly until spilling over after the [[Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate]]. During the resulting [[Battle for the Undercity]], Varian Wrynn, grief-stricken over the loss of {{npc||Bolvar Fordragon}}, and the state of the former [[Capital City]] of [[Lordaeron]], lashed out at Thrall and declared war against the Horde. Hostilities continued to escalate for the remainder of the [[War against the Lich King]], until the Lich King was finally defeated. |

| − | With both factions recovering from war, the Alliance and Horde attempt to resume their tentative peace. Yet political tensions rose as the night elves of Darnassus have refused trade with the Horde and barred them from Ashenvale in protest of the Wrathgate. With the Horde’s supplies being depleted on account of the war with the Lich King and the unusual droughts affecting [[Orgrimmar]], things were looking bleak for the Horde. Relations worsen as Twilight Hammer orcs under the guise of Horde forces, kill and skin night elf sentinels to frame the Horde. In an effort to quell the rising tensions, [[Hamuul Runetotem]] attempted to pursue diplomatic talks with his fellow night elf druids. Yet the talks became violent when the druid meeting was attacked by Twilight Hammer orcs believed to be sent by Garrosh Hellscream, acting warchief of the Horde.<ref>[[The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm]]</ref> |

| − | Three years have passed since the military forces of the Horde and Alliance first set foot on the shores of Northrend, and they now wage war amidst the [[Cataclysm (event)|disasters]] wrought by {{npc||Deathwing}}'s return to the world. Thrall has left the Horde to lead the [[Earthen Ring]]'s efforts in preventing the [[Rift (Maelstrom)|rift]] beneath the [[Maelstrom]] from tearing apart the world, and has appointed the ambitious Garrosh Hellscream as Warchief of the Horde in his absence. King Varian Wrynn, convinced that the Horde has remained unchecked for too long, continues to lead the Alliance. |

| − | ===Invasion of Gilneas=== |
||
| − | {{Main|Invasion of Gilneas}} |
||
| − | [[File:Invasion of Gilneas.jpg|thumb|left]] |
||
| − | Employing the [[Val'kyr]] to raise a mighty army, the [[Forsaken]] have begun a bold campaign to secure their hold over [[Lordaeron]]. By orders of the new Warchief of the Horde, [[Garrosh Hellscream]], the Forsaken mobilize and move into [[Gilneas]] to secure a port for the Horde in southern Lordaeron. The Forsaken have conquered much of [[Silverpine Forest]], and have been battering the [[Greymane Wall]] with their siege weapons. The Forsaken soon aligned themselves with [[Ralaar Fangfire]] and his [[Gilnean Wolfcult]] and helped him infiltrate Gilneas so that he could spread the worgen curse and sow civil discord in Gilneas. The [[Cataclysm]] then caused the Greymane Wall and many of the nation's defenses to fall, allowing the Forsaken to invade freely. The Gilneans, now transformed into [[worgen]], attempt to fight off the invaders as best they can. Eventually the [[night elf|night elves]] arrive in Gilneas, bringing both vital military aid and the truth behind the worgen curse. Likewise, Orcs reinforce the Forsaken forces, causing an escalation into an all-out battle between the Alliance and the Horde in the region. The Forsaken, against the orders of the Warchief to cease production, unleash their devastating [[New Plague|Forsaken Blight]] against Gilneas. Many of the survivors flee across the sea to [[Teldrassil]], where the night elves grant them sanctuary. |

| − | ===Ashenvale Offensive=== |
||
| − | [[File:Splintertree Post Defensive (Cataclysm).jpg|thumb|left|The orcish invasion of Ashenvale.]] |
||
| − | {{Main|Wolfheart}} |
||
| − | With Ashenvale's elven defenses weakened, Warchief Garrosh Hellscream finally decides to take the night elven forest for the Horde. Garrosh personally led his troops into the neighbouring borders of Ashenvale. While his [[Warsong Clan]] had made considerable progress over the course of [[Thrall|Warchief Thrall]]'s reign, it is a far cry from the ambitions that Warchief Hellscream desires to achieve. Garrosh plans to create a massive city in the heart of the forest, one with the potential to rival [[Orgrimmar]] in size and power. With rich minerals ripe for the taking, and all of the tools needed to see his people grow, Garrosh surges viciously through the [[kaldorei]] ranks and cuts a swathe of destruction straight to the [[Silverwing Grove]]. Having brought down a number of tamed [[proto-drake|proto-drakes]] and [[magnataur]] captives from [[Northrend]] that he domesticated by holding their young hostage, Garrosh plans to see his dreams of expansion realized. |
||
| − | |||
| − | His attack on the Grove results in a decisive Horde victory. Garrosh reflects on how the forest that gave [[Grom Hellscream|his father]] such harsh resistance is falling, piece by piece, and wonders what the mighty Grom would have made of this triumph. He concludes that not even Thrall could deny his prowess at this point, and will hail him as the champion of the orcish race and the entire Horde. Garrosh's plan is twofold - he had gained knowledge of a meeting between the leaders of the Alliance, and strikes at this point in order to lure out [[Tyrande Whisperwind]]. As he had expected, the priestess arrives on the scene to relieve the waning sentinels, though the Horde unleash the magnataur upon the Alliance's ranks. In the ensuing chaos, Tyrande was struck down and wounded by orc archers. Confident in a victory, Garrosh also takes the fray. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The battle is interrupted by the arrival of worgen reinforcements led by [[Varian Wrynn]] and [[Genn Greymane]], who proceed to fight back several magnataur. On several occasions, Garrosh and Varian clashed and did battle; with both leaders matching each other's attack, blow by blow, and killing all who interfered with their duel. Though evenly matched at first, Varian eventually gained an advantage. Varian had been fighting with an in-explicit focus and unyielding vigor. While Garrosh tired, Varian was still full of stamina, which allowed Varian to press on his attack. Garrosh is fought back at this point, and Varian succeeds in wounding him and disarming Gorehowl. A dying magnataur separates the two combatants, and Garrosh composes himself. He prepares to rush at Varian once more, though is held back by several [[Kor'kron]]; urging Garrosh to retreat. Garrosh grudingly complies, though not before swearing to kill Varian himself.<ref>[[Wolfheart]]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Since then, General [[Shandris Feathermoon]] has taken advantage of their victory at Ashenvale to commission more fortifications and outposts at Ashenvale's Alliance controlled borders.<ref>[[Wolfheart]]</ref> In [[Ashenvale]], an enormous volcano has erupted in central Ashenvale. As the night elves struggle to deal with the chaos caused by the Cataclysm, the Horde is seizing what it perceives to be a golden opportunity. Garrosh Hellscream's forces are now bearing down upon the night elves and have overtaken several key positions that once served as Alliance strongholds. The Horde has been able to conquer more of the ancient forest and have cut down even more trees. This allowed the Horde to wrest control of [[Silverwind Refuge]]. Meanwhile [[Zoram'gar Outpost]] has its defenses improved and a new Horde camp, [[Hellscream's Watch]], has been built overlooking the [[Night Elf]] village of [[Astranaar]]. The Horde has begun launching air raids on Astranaar from the new camp. [[Maestra's Post]], [[Raynewood Retreat]], and surrounding towers have also been attacked by the Horde. Despite Silverwind Refuge and other Alliance outposts being conquered by the Horde, Alliance forces continue to hold what ground they have left. |

| − | ===Forsaken offensive=== |
||
| − | The Forsaken forces later march onto the town of [[Southshore]] and completely annihilated all life with in the region by deploying the [[New Plague]]. [[Magistrate Henry Maleb]] led the ones who managed to escape Southshore and fled to the town of [[Hillsbrad Fields]]. The [[Ruins of Southshore]] is left inhospitable, and will be so for several decades. The ramifications of the Forsaken Blight forced the high echelons of the Horde to reconsider the free use of such a potent weapon. Instead, the Horde has issued a diluted version of the [[Forsaken Blight]] for the Forsaken to use. The town of [[Hillsbrad Fields]] was later finally destroyed by the Forsaken, concluding the Hillsbrad campaign initiated by [[Varimathras]] years ago. [[Magistrate Henry Maleb]] led the [[Hillsbrad Refugee]]s to [[Fenris Keep]], where they have been taking refuge. A few Hillsbrad residents and [[Magistrate Burnside]] stayed behind and led a resistance but were eventually defeated and imprisoned by the Forsaken war machine. Those who stayed to defend Hillsbrad eventually became prisoners in what is now known as the [[Sludge Fields]], a Forsaken prison where the mad [[Warden Stillwater]] cruelly experiments on his prisoners and even fellow Forsaken. When the other Forsaken discover that Forsaken are being turned mindless, he is punished for his illdoings.<ref>[[The Battle for Hillsbrad]]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Even with Gilneas falling into the hands of the Forsaken, the fighting between the Gilnean worgen and the Forsaken continues. Bloodfang worgen who had recently allied themselves with the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]], destroyed three Orc gunships that had arrived. The ships were full of supplies, weapons and soldiers.<ref>[[Quest:The Warchief's Fleet]]</ref> Later, the Forsaken kill some of the [[Hillsbrad]] refugees on [[Fenris Isle]] and resurrected them, bolstering Forsaken forces and somewhat making up for the loss of the three [[orc]] gunships.<ref>[[Quest:Rise, Forsaken]]</ref> However, after this attack, many of the Hillsbrad refugees decide to take the Worgen curse offered by Darius, rather than be resurrected as Forsaken. Later, the Forsaken discovered that lord [[Darius Crowley]] and [[Ivar Bloodfang]] are having a meeting in [[Deep Elem Mine]], and Sylvanas sent a squadron of elite [[Veteran Forsaken Trooper]]s under the leadership of [[Master Forteski]] to trap and slay the Worgen leaders. However, the Forsaken soon discovered that instead of trapping an enemy, they were trapped themselves. As a result, the whole squadron of elite Forsaken Troopers were destroyed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A convoy of [[Veteran Forsaken Trooper]]s and Forsaken catapults were ambushed by the [[Bloodfang pack]] while attempting to cross [[Olsen's Farthing]] in [[Silverpine Forest]]. The ambush resulted in all those Forsaken troopers being killed and the destruction of the Forsaken catapults.<ref>[[Quest:Honor the Dead (Silverpine Forest)]]</ref> [[Warlord Torok]] sent Sea Dogs to fight the Hillsbrad worgen that were swimming to the [[Decrepit Fields]] from Fenris Isle. The Sea Dogs attacked the Hillsbrad worgen but were eventaully defeated after killing many worgen. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Meanwhile, [[7th Legion]] reinforcements from [[Stormwind]], sneaked their way into Gilneas and aided the Gilneas Liberation Front in retaking [[Gilneas City]]. Together, the Alliance forces were able to neutralize [[Rutsak's Guard]], [[Dreadwatch Outpost]], and [[Forsaken Forward Command]]. The Forsaken forces eventually had to fall back to Silverpine Forest but not before recovering the corpses of [[Lord Godfrey]] and the Gilnean traitors, whom they raised to undeath as Forsaken allies. The Gilneas Liberation Front continued to harass Forsaken forces in Silverpine while the 7th Legion retook [[Pyrewood Village]].<ref>[[Quest:Fall Back!]]</ref><ref>[[Quest:Break in Communications: Rutsak's Guard]]</ref> [[Druid]]s in the Gilneas Liberation Front used their bear form in guerilla warfare against [[Horde]] forces at the [[Forsaken Front]], which resulted in the loss of a few Horde battalions. Eventually the Horde forces learn of this tactic, and it becomes ineffective after counter-measures are implemented.<ref>[[Quest:A Wolf in Bear's Clothing]]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Eventaully, the tide turned. The worgen and their Alliance allies were driven back. The town of [[Ambermill]] was conquered by Forsaken forces and its inhabitants converted to Forsaken. Another town, [[Pyrewood Village]], was burned to the ground and the Alliance's battle plans were stolen thanks to Lord Godfrey's guidance. In a final push, Alliance and Gilnean forces met the Forsaken army on the [[Battlefront]] for one final battle. The Forsaken emerged victorious as the Gilneas Liberation Front was coerced to retreat after Sylvanas kidnapped Lorna Crowley, and blackmailed [[Darius Crowley]] with threats to raise Lorna as an undead slave. The celebration was short lived though as Lord Godfrey and his allies unexpectedly betrayed the Horde and assassinated Sylvanas. When Sylvanas was brought back to life, she remains determined to get her revenge on Godfrey and the Alliance and the Alliance's push on Silverpine was stemmed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gilneas was lost to the Alliance, Sylvanas' leading the invasion into the area was halted by Godfrey's betrayal.Currently the only assaults by the Horde are [[The Battle for Gilneas|by sea]], as they are attempting to re-establish a land base in Gilneas, having lost all of them prior. The invasion by sea, which is on going, has met an issue as the Gilnean forces have been heavily reinforced by the Alliance, currently the Horde has been unable to properly re-establish a land base on the coast, as the Alliance has met them to deter or repel these attempts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following the events at Silverpine Forest, the [[Bloodfang pack]] have since been fighting a guerrilla war with the Forsaken forces at [[Hillsbrad]]. They are later found allying with the [[Stormpike Guard]] and have been amassing their forces at [[Purgation Isle]]. Due to the efforts of [[Kingslayer Orkus]] and Horde adventurers, their plans to launch an all out attack were uncovered. [[High Warlord Cromush]] asked for reinforcements from the [[Frostwolf Clan]], but were denied by [[Drek'thar]], who despises the Forsaken's way to make war. Cromush panics at the Frostwolf Clan's abandonment but later composes himself and sends Horde adventurers to blow up the Alliance vanguard forces before their offensive on Hillsbrad could begin. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Forsaken forces are later found establishing [[Galen's Fall]] for their impending invasion on the nation of [[Stromgarde]]. To aid them in their efforts, they have recruited the fallen prince of Stromgarde, [[Galen Trollbane]]. He aids Horde adventurers in taking the legendary sword, [[Trol'kalar]], so that the Forsaken may use it as a weapon against the Alliance. |

| − | Forsaken forces have since tried to invade the Hinterlands and launched an all out assault on the Highvale elves of [[Quel'Danil Lodge]]. The combined Alliance forces were able to drive back the Forsaken assault and retain their hold over Quel'Danil Lodge<ref>[[Quest:In Defense of Quel'Danil]]</ref>. |

| − | In the [[Twin Peaks]] near [[Grim Batol]] in the [[Twilight Highlands]], the dwarven [[Wildhammer clan]] fight against the orcish [[Dragonmaw clan]], having recently rejoined the Horde, battle for control of this strategic mountainous region. The Twin Peaks are crucial for staging effective offensives against the [[black dragonflight]] and the [[Twilight's Hammer]], who currently control the Twilight Highlands.<ref>[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/twinpeaks.html World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Features - Twin Peaks Battleground]</ref> To the south, the humans of [[Marshtide Watch]] battle the [[Stonard]] orcs in the [[Swamp of Sorrows]]. |

| − | ===Kalimdor=== |
||
| − | ====Azshara==== |
||
| − | All-out battles have erupted in the [[Barrens]], [[Ashenvale]], and the [[Stonetalon Mountains]]. Off the coast of Kalimdor, on the [[Lost Isles]], the [[Bilgewater Cartel]] goblins were caught in the crossfire between an Alliance fleet and a Horde ship that contained an important passenger. Seeing as the Alliance would have killed all who witnessed their attack, the goblins chose to ally themselves with the stranded [[orcs]] and fought against the Alliance forces. After rescuing a captured [[Thrall]] from the Alliance and taking back control of the cartel from [[Trade Prince Gallywix]]'s greedy schemes, the Bilgewater Cartel was sent to [[Orgrimmar]] and was officially inducted into the Horde. The Bilgwater Cartel has since established a new city in [[Azshara]], [[Bilgewater Harbor]], to replace the loss of [[Bilgewater Port]] on [[Kezan]].<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/media/</ref> In a show of good faith to their new allies, the goblins have reshaped Azshara to resemble a giant Horde symbol. They have also begun constructing a massive war fleet for Garrosh Hellscream. Yet they have also come into conflict with the naga, [[Blackmaw tribe]] furblogs, and the Alliance forces of [[Talrendis Point]]. The Horde was able to prevent a potential alliance between the Blackmaw tribe and the Alliance by framing the Alliance with an assault on their tribe. <ref>[[Quest:The Blackmaw Doublecross]]</ref> They also drove back most of the Alliance forces to Ashenvale after assassinating their commanders and destroying their ancients.<ref>[[Quest:The Conquest of Azshara]]</ref><ref>[[Quest:Where's My Head?]]</ref><ref>[[Quest:Arborcide]]</ref> |

| − | ====Barrens==== |
||
| − | Due to the [[Cataclysm (event)|Cataclysm]] the Barrens have been split into the Northern Barrens and the [[Southern Barrens]]. King Varian Wrynn has not backed down from Garrosh's aggression, nor has the rest of the Alliance. In the [[Northern Barrens]], the Horde defensive post [[Mor'shan Rampart]] is under attack by the Alliance. In turn [[Northwatch Hold]] is now under attack by Horde forces.<ref name="WoW Forums 19377467311">{{ref web |url=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19377467311&sid=1 |title=Cataclysm Compilation (7/10) - E.

| − | |||
| − | Offensives into the Southern Barrens have secured territory once belonging to the Horde for Varian and his allies, who are also working to retake portions of Ashenvale. The Alliance forces were able to take the outpost of [[Honor's Stand]] just before the Cataclysm affected the [[Barrens]] in an effort expand to the Northern Barrens. Alliance forces streamed out of [[Northwatch Hold|Northwatch]] and marched up the [[Gold Road]], besieging the [[Crossroads]] as dusk fell. Then, in the heart of the night, they force-marched southward, leaving their campfires burning behind, and overran the Horde forces at Honor's Stand at dawn's first light. The Alliance has since been trying to fortify themselves in Honor Stand after the Cataclysm left their defenses in disarray while also dealing with the Horde resistance in [[Hunter's Hill]].<ref>[[Kilrok Gorehammer#Gossip Text]]</ref> |

| − | |||
| − | In the Southern Barrens [[Alliance]] forces have invaded the eastern lands while the [[Horde]] has maintained control of the west. The Alliance has constructed a new [[Fort Triumph|military outpost]] to try to solidify their control of their new territory while the Horde has [[Desolation Hold|done the same]] to prevent further Alliance expansion. The [[Battlescar|central region]] between the two forts has become a war zone as the factions fight for control. The Alliance launched an attack on the outpost of [[Camp Taurajo]], which ended in many civilian casualties, causing the Horde to label the attack as a massacre. The destruction of Camp Taurajo has stirred the Horde and bolstered their resolve. The Horde has begun efforts to drive the Alliance back as a result. The new [[Warlord Bloodhilt|Horde general]] made an example of [[General Hawthorne]] by sending Horde adventurers to assassinate him on the streets of the [[Battlescar]]<ref>[[Quest:The Butcher of Taurajo]]</ref>. Unbeknownst to the Horde, Hawthorne had worked to avoid civilian casualties, and his death at the hands of the Horde served to cement Alliance resolve in the region. In the initial Horde counter-attack, [[Gann Stonespire]] leads an angry mob of Horde civilians to raid the dwarven dig sites in [[Bael Modan]]. The Horde eventually causes the death of [[Marley Twinbraid]], son of [[General Twinbraid]]<ref>[[Quest:Marley's Final Flight]]</ref>. The Horde also manages to blow up the dwarven fortress known as [[Bael'dun Keep]]. General Twinbraid finds the corpse of [[Weezil Slipshadow]] in the ruins of Bael'dun Keep and thinks it must have been the goblin workers in [[Frazzlecraz Motherlode]] who were responsible for the destruction at Bael Modan. He sends Alliance adventurers to kill every goblin miner they can find and blow up the mine in Frazzlecraz Motherlode.<ref>[[Quest:...And Bury the Rest]]</ref> Following General Hawthorne's death, General Twinbraid takes command of the Alliance armies in [[Fort Triumph]].<ref>[[Quest:Reinforcements From Theramore]]</ref> |
