An expansion that picks up right after Reign of Chaos. The warden Maiev Shadowsong hunts Illidan Stormrage across the world, the undead of Lordaeron start to fracture, and Arthas hears the Lich King calling from Northrend. A separate orc campaign follows Rexxar, a half-ogre beastmaster, through Durotar, the orcs' new home.
