The Shattering

Thrall; wise shaman and the war chief of the Horde; has sensed a disturbing change . . . Long ago; Azeroth's destructive native elementals raged across the world until the benevolent titans imprisoned them within the Elemental Plane. Despite the titans' intervention; many elementals have ended up back on Azeroth. Over the ages; shaman like Thrall have communed with these spirits and; through patience and dedication; learned to soothe roaring infernos; bring rain to sun-scorched lands; and otherwise temper the elementals' ruinous influence on the world of Azeroth.

Thrall

When Azeroth was young; the noble titans appointed the five great dragonflights to safeguard the budding world. Each of the flights' leaders was imbued with a portion of the titans' vast cosmic powers. Together; these majestic Dragon Aspects committed themselves to thwarting any force that threatened the safety of Azeroth. More than 10;000 years ago; a betrayal by the maddened black Dragon Aspect; Deathwing; shattered the strength and unity of the dragonflights. His most recent assault on Azeroth-the Cataclysm-has left the world in turmoil.

Arthas Rise of the Lich King

His evil is legend. Lord of the undead Scourge; wielder of the runeblade Frostmourne; and enemy of the free peoples of Azeroth. The Lich King is an entity of incalculable power and unparalleled malice -- his icy soul utterly consumed by his plans to destroy all life on the World of Warcraft. But it was not always so. Long before his soul was fused with that of the orc shaman Ner'zhul; the Lich King was Arthas Menethil; crown prince of Lordaeron and faithful paladin of the Silver Hand.

Stormrage

Many centuries have passed since the young night elf Malfurion Stormrage became the principal hero in War of the Ancients. Having saved both his people and the world of Azeroth from the demons of the Burning Legion; Malfurion sought to start life anew with his beloved Tyrande Whisperwind; high priestess of the moon goddess. But then the nightmares began-nightmares that spread across the world-and they seemed to originate in one of the most sacred places known to the druids.

Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War

The ashes of the Cataclysm have settled across Azeroth's disparate kingdoms. As the broken world recovers from the disaster, the renowned sorceress Lady Jaina Proudmoore continues her long struggle to mend relations between the Horde and the Alliance. Yet of late, escalating tensions have pushed the two factions closer to open war, threatening to destroy what little stability remains in the World of Warcraft. Dark news arrives in Jaina's beloved city, Theramore. One of the blue dragonflight's most powerful artifacts-the Focusing Iris-has been stolen.
