Introduction
This will be a description for a story I'm writing called "Era of the Legion". I might post this story on this site at some point, if it is not too big. For now I will use this wiki for descriptions and biographies of the different characters, locations and items that will be found in the story. I will first give a short description of the story, then a quick summary of the setting my story plays in.

Description
Year 44 after the opening of the Dark Portal is a turbulent year! It was only 14 years ago that the might of both the Horde and the Alliance stood united against the Scourge and prevailed, resulting in the Lich King's fall. But a lot has happened since that time. The enemy that everyone seemed to had forgotten about, or at least found to be a lesser threat when the Scourge renewed their assault, has returned. It was only half a decade after the Lich King's fall that unknown preachers and champions arose amongst the citizens of the Horde and the Alliance, ones that swayed over a full half of both factions to their cause in a subtle manner. It was no surprise when these factions claimed leadership only a few years later, and soon the culling of their opposition began. The leaders of both factions either fled or were murdered, and new leaders were installed on the thrones. The Burning Legion had emerged anew, though not in person. Yet. This more subtle approach was forced upon them, for the Dark Portal was sealed anew shortly after the Lich King's fall, and a spell cast by the mighty Rhonin in the year 33 had prevented any demon from entering Azeroth. And so the Legion had to establish their mortal minions first and find a way to destroy the spell preventing them from entering. Now Grondar Mogrush, long time Champion of the Horde and Overlord of the mighty base, Outer Beyond, finds himself wondering how it had all come this far once again. Having served in the military from since the First War, the veteran is not unfamiliar with the demonic corruption that has claimed his kin anew, and is one of the few resisting bases left. With Outer Beyond soon to be besieged on all sides, and the Legion trying to break in to the realm of Azeroth, Grondar and his remaining brethren are in for tough times as the Era of the Legion comes close.

Summary

 * The corrupting presence of the Legion has returned, and claimed the service of a full half of the population of Azeroth. Though they cannot enter the world themselves, their servants actively search for a way to destroy the barrier that prevents them from entering.


 * The Horde and the Alliance are no more. New leaders have taken to the thrones and formed the Krog'zothal Horde of remnants of the Horde, and the Alliance of Zamaran of what remained of the Alliance, while the resisting bases of both former factions are collectively called The Resistance.


 * The Resistance is heavily outnumbered and spread over the three continents, and as such are fighting for a lost cause as the bases fall one after another under the warmachine of the Burning Legion. Only a few bases like Outer Beyond have the manpower to succesfully play a part in this great war.


 * The story will solely focus the struggle of Grondar and his men, and as such will not feature many other organisations like the resisting part of the Alliance, the Kirin'Tor or the Argent Dawn, to name but a few.
