User:GaroxxOfTheCabal/The Cataclysm Comes To Northrend



NOTE: This is not an idea for a future expansion, but rather a patch that would be awesome to do in Cataclysm.

''When Deathwing returned to Azeroth, the whole world was reforged in molten flame. And Northrend was affected as well. The Destroyer appeared in Northrend's frozen skies and reshaped the land as well. Now his agents zealously patrol the land, seeking to fulfill their master's vision of death and destruction.''

Introductory world event: The Twilight Reckoning
NOTE: This also serves as the introductory world event for the Return to Outland patch

Prior to the patch launching, an Image of Thrall appears in every capital city of both the Alliance and Horde during the first of four phases of the Introductory world event. He says:


 * say
 * say
 * say
 * say
 * say

Phase two will be Deathwwing's Declaration. He appears in the skies all across Azeroth, bellowing:
 * yell

Phase three will be the "Unleashing of the Legions" - Deathwing's servants in all their major centers (Grim Batol, Uldum, etc.) will emerge and instigate an all-out assault on any and every friendly outpost. This will be very similar to both the Scourge invasions and the Second War of the Shifting Sands, except they won't take place in capital cities - yet.

Phase four will be Deathwing's attacks on Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Garrosh and Varian will take place in these battles, and Malfurion Stormrage, plus the other leaders of the Alliance and Horde, as well as Thrall and the Earthen Ring and maybe even Tirion Fordring and the Argent Crusade will make appearances as well. After the battles are done, Deathwing will appear in human form in Stormwind/Orgrimmar and declare:


 * yell
