Ok, this was my first version of a WC4-game, for the new one click here.

This is a concept of mine for a sequel to the popular Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne games.

It is set in Outland for one campaign, in Azeroth for the 5 remaining ones. It is set immedeatly after The Frozen Throne and does not take in consideration what happens in World of Warcraft (although I got some of my ideas from what happens in WoW).

The factions in the game are the Alliance (Humans, High Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes), Night Elves, the Horde (Orcs, Tauren and Darkspear Trolls), the Forsaken and the Scourge. The Nightelves are mainly independent but have ties with the Alliance, the Forsaken however aren't part of the Horde at all.

1. Campaign: The New Order (Alliance)
The first campaign is, as said previously, set in Outland. The heroes are the Sons of Lothar, who later join forces with Akama, Maiev and Garrosh to defeat the Illidari.

After being defeated by Arthas Illidan is braught back to Outland by his generals Kael'thas and Vashj to continue his reign of terror. The surviving members of the Draenor Expedition seize the chance of the weakened Illidari forces to eliminate the last threat of Outland. Begining with Kael'thas, Allerias former king, they beat the Sin'dorei lord and can win over the survivors of the battle to join theier cause. After hearing of Kael's death Illidan sends Akama to stop the Sons of Lothar, but Akama, after a fake battle, also joins them and helps to free Maiev. Arriving at the Black Temple's gates the party has to face Lady Vashj who eventually is beaten as well. They then confront Illidan and end his reign over Outland in a fatal battle in wich Turalyon and Danath die. Akama now becomes Lord of Outland and starts mediation with the Mag'har and eventually allows the inhabitants of Outland to live together in peace. Khadgar, Alleria and Kurdran return to Azeroth accompaigned by Maiev and Garrosh where upon arriving at Nethergarde they are held under siege by Doom Lord Kazzak whom they beat as well and then continue theier journey to Stormwind and Kalimdor.
