Signs of the Nether

Ner'zhul is captured by the sons of Lothar before Draenor is destroyed and is brought to Azeroth to be judged.

Ner'zhul is being hunted by Kil'jaeden. The demon has an almost fanatical obsession with him and wants to make him suffer. Ner'zhul wants nothing less than to live in peace and redeem himself for dooming the Horde to the Legion.

Azeroth just won the second war against the orcish Horde but is still revovering. Stormwind has been rebuild and young king Varian Wrynn just had a son. Quel'thalas is still reeling and Ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner has her hands full repelling the troll remnants of the Horde. Lordaeron is flourishing, prince Arthas is becoming a Paladin and king Terenas firmly leads the Alliance. There is no Lich King or scourge.

The Burning Legion is trying to invade Azeroth like in Warcraft 3. But this time they can't do it via the Lich King since Ner'zhul is still an orc and in Alliance captivity. The Alliance will have to find a way to work with the acting warchief to defeat them. Ner'zhul will also find a way to escape Kil'jaeden's wrath and must find a way to save what remains of the Horde. The different Kingdoms of the continent have to use their strengths and fight back also.
