Story background (Blackstone disaster)
Version 1.9: Angela's Gate [7]
After the invasion of natural disasters, the continent of Azeroth was devastated, and the Fiwood forest became silent. The rotting bodies of the forest vagrants in Tirisfa, who had already died but stood up again, were filled with dense fog all day long. The undercurrent of Siris Desert surged, the kingdom of Lordaeron was destroyed, and Illidan betrayed the night elves and was exiled to Outland. The former prince Arthas finally ascended the frozen throne and became Northrend's new Lich King. The war seems to have subsided for the time being.
In Tal, the arid land of Dulong, the tribe led by Sal camped and expanded the size of the army. They invited the former High Elf Ranger who also hated the Alliance, the current forgotten leader Sylvanas Windrunner and his forgotten people to join the tribes of orcs, tauren and trolls.
At the same time, dwarves, dwarves and ancient night elves also vowed to join the alliance led by human king Varian Wrynn. In order to solve the problem of post-war interests, both the alliance and the tribe are hoarding combat power.
But at this time, King Varian Wrynn suddenly disappeared mysteriously in Stormwind, and Duke Boval Fautrat Gong assisted the young Prince Anduin Wolin as the Regent. But everyone can see that the political trend of Stormwind depends entirely on the noble and mysterious human noblewoman Katrina presto, and the distrust between the alliances is increasing day by day. At the same time, the black iron dwarf who was dormant with Blackstone Mountain began to gradually trigger a series of strange events. Marshal Reginald Windsor, who was in charge of investigating this matter, mysteriously disappeared in Blackstone abyss. There seems to be a force behind the scenes that controls the fate of the world.
The shamans of the tribe found that the elements in different planes began to become unstable, and the source of everything pointed to Blackstone Mountain. Sorensen the Great, the king of black iron dwarves, summoned Everett Ragnaros in the Three Hammer Wars. It seems that everything is beginning to develop in a bad direction. So the brave adventurers of the alliance and tribe are ready to go, heading for the Black Stone Tower, the Black Stone Abyss, the Heart of Melting Fire and the Nest of Black Wings.
Story background (Angela invasion)
The world almost destroyed the hand of the black dragon prince nefario. The hero of the Alliance saved Marshal Winsor and revealed the true face of katara Na, the princess of the Black Dragon Onyxia. Stormwind is United again, and the alliance is more stable.
The warriors of the tribe went deep into Blackstone Mountain and bravely defeated Everett. Finally, the hero of the United Alliance defeated Nefario, the prince of the black dragon, in the nest of black wings on the upper floor of Blackstone Mountain. It seems that the world will return to peace.
However, in the Cyrus Desert at the southernmost tip of Kalimdor, the outpost of Senario Parliament found that the desert had changed, a large number of heterogeneous insects poured out of the ground, and a group of twilight believers who believed in the ancient gods began to appear. This scene can't help but remind people of the quicksand war that almost destroyed Azeroth. As a Cenario Council and a druid of the night elf, fandral Stakh couldn't stand it any longer. He lost his only son in the quicksand war. Finally, relying on tricolor dragon as bait, those horrible creatures who call themselves Zerg will be sealed behind the huge beetle wall of Cyrus forever. Will history repeat itself? No, not this time. Our adventurers will collect the fragments of the damaged quicksand scepter and reopen the wall of the beetle. We will go deep into Angela's temple and make a real end with these zerg and the people behind them.
So, for the first time in history, the tribe and the alliance really put aside their differences and put forward war preparation materials. Qi Xin joined forces to find fragments of quicksand scepter. In the face of disaster, racial interests, collective contradictions and personal grievances are so insignificant. Under the scorching sun, in the West Lissus Desert, the hero with the scepter of quicksand sounded the gong that had been imprisoned for thousands of years, and the war began.
Story background (the shadow of Naxxramas)
C 'Thun, an ancient god, is hidden in the depths of Angela's temple. This monster, known as the Thousand-eyed Devil, lurks there like a nightmare. In order to curse the flesh and eat, he frantically lured his worm-draggers into Azeroth. Unfortunately, he finally fell into the hands of the alliance and tribal army under the leadership of Bronze Dragon. The world seems to have once again ushered in a brief peace.
Arthas, the former prince of Lordaeron and now the Lich King, spent too much time recovering from the fierce battle with Illidan in the frozen throne. Now he is stronger than before. He will do better than the Lich King Nero Zu, so the Scourge will make a comeback. As a pioneer, Arthas leader and loyal servant Kel 'Thuzad will lead a huge floating war.
Since parting ways with the bloody crusaders, Silver Dawn, as the backbone of resisting natural disasters, has been active in the plague land of the East. But recently, they found that a large number of dark magic circles suddenly appeared in this dead place, and with the corpses that had already turned into decay, they stood up again, and the huge floating fortress hung over the oriental plague like the shadow of death. Everything seems to have returned to the terrible years of natural disasters, but this time, the heroes who have experienced the baptism of Angela's war will be dedicated to the world.
Version introduction

In the version of 1. 1 1, World of Warcraft opened a new 40-person team copy-Naxxramas, which is also the last team copy of the classic old times. Because of its huge popularity (including T3 suit that players think is out of print), it reappeared in WLK.

They crossed the portal and stopped the invasion of the Burning Legion from the source. On the dry Hellfire Peninsula in Outland, the Alliance found the hero who was stationed here many years ago through the portal. At the same time, the tribe also contacted Maghan, a group of "uncorrupted" orc tribes who did not participate in their people's initial invasion of Azeroth. Outland expeditionary forces are arguing over the command of the army and who will be illidan stormrage's adjutant. illidan stormrage takes the broken territory as his own, which leads to further conflicts.
