Warcraft: The Events of the Third War
The world of Azeroth has seen countless invasions, world-ending events, and massive wars. Perhaps the most important events to shape the history of Warcraftare the four great wars that pitted the factions of Azeroth against each other. These wars saw the destruction of cities, the rise of powerful villains, and the death of various characters. They each changed the trajectory of Azeroth and brought Warcraft to where it is today.
The First and Second Wars were covered during Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness. Both wars saw the creation of the modern-day Horde and Alliance, as well as the rise of characters like Thrall and Khadgar alongside the downfall of characters like Gul'dan and Medivh. These two wars caused immense change, but the Third War may have shaken up Azeroth even more.
Warcraft Should Revisit The First and Second Wars
Several years after the Horde led by Ner'zhul were defeated in Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal, a new war began to brew. Ner'zhul's soul was tortured and encased in a suit of armor by the demon lord Kil'jaeden. He then sent the armored soul of Ner'zhul to Azeroth to sit upon the Frozen Throne, giving birth to the first Lich King and leading to the first major player in the Third War. The crisis quickly began.
The events of The Third War are presented in Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, and begin with orc Warchief Thrall. Thrall receives a vision of an unknown prophet who tells him that he must move his new Horde to Kalimdor to escape the coming destruction. Thrall trusts the prophet and gathers his Horde, fighting through the troops of Lordaeron and sailing west to freedom. He hopes that he can find a home for his Horde away from the Alliance, a place they can be safe.
