User:Sul'jin/Northrend Expansion Idea

'''Please note, this is a fan made expansion idea for the expansion after Burning Crusade. This is in no way from Blizzard.'''

= Legacy of the Lich King - Northrend Expansion =

Two New Playable Races
Tuskarr Classes available: Priest, Warrior, Hunter, Mage, Shaman
 * The walrus people of tuskarr found out that they can't stand against the forces of the Scourge alone, but found allies in the recently arrived Horde. Their capital is Frozentusk.

Furbolg Classes available: Druid, Shaman, Priest, Hunter, Warrior
 * A faction of furbolgs living on an island close to Northrend decided to actively aid the Night Elves and the Alliance in fighting the Scourge that blights the Roof of the World. Capital is Chillwood Hold.

''Note: Tuskarr and Furbolg capitals are actually only big settlements (but not as large as Orgrimmar or Ironforge), so the new adventurers from two new races may start in hospitable areas. Their real capital cities (Kaskala and Grizzlemaw) are not accessible early in the game, as they are lying in hostile zones of Northrend and are used as main bases of the Alliance and the Horde against the Lich King.''

New Underground Zone of Azjol-Nerub
Venture into the depths of ancient nerubian empire of Azjol-Nerub and face it's perils!


 * Upper Kingdom - A section that lies in the upper parts of Azjol-Nerub, is controlled mainly by the undead Scourge, led by mighty Anub'arak, ancient king of Nerubian Empire. Much of it's area was destroyed during the War of the Spider, which took place here. The Lich King's undead reopened damaged passages and cleared rubble-filled tunnels. Many enterances to this area exist in northern Dragonblight, though those are perilous, as they're filled with both undead and monsters. There is a safe passage, though, but only if your faction is the one that claims it...
 * Doorward - The main enterance to the area, formerly held by a group of dwarves, now left empty after Arthas' run through it. Be the first one to claim it for your own faction. Defeat the standing forces of enemy faction to reclaim if for yourself!


 * Old Kingdom - One section which lies lowest of all of Azjol'Nerub, is controlled by neutral Nerubians (Inner Kingdom) and Faceless Ones. Area not maintained by anyone, as the Nerubians fear the ancient evil that lies down below, and the Scourge never descended this far, meaning that long forgotten treasures lie here waiting for brave adventurers to claim them. Face it perils, fight the subterranean aberrations and stand in the way of a mighty Old God.
 * Inner Kingdom - A part of Old Kingdom, held by those Nerubians who didn't gave up to the Lich King. Help them in their (and yours too) fight agains the undead forces of the Lich King, as well as the forces of an Old God, who resides down below...

 * Brood of Malygos
 * Threatened by the Lich King, Blue Dragon Aspect Malygos left the Nexus, his ancient citadel to his trusted Blue Dragonflight. Unfortunately, the citadel was recently taken by the Scourge.

 * Lair of the Forgotten One
 * Everyone was told that there were five Old Gods in Azeroth... They didn't know about one more, the Forgotten One. He rules in the deep Old Kingdom, where he commands hordes of Faceless Ones.
