The Fourth War
The actual story starts not way far back in time, just a couple of years after Illidan Stormrage’s not death, but it’s soul’s disparition from Azeroth, because you can expect a comeback from his tricky mind.
Before this event ever happened, Maiev, former jailor of Illidan and convict, and Akama, a loyal servant of Illidan, allied and rallied a group of adventurers to enter the Black Temple, leading up to the final battle with Illidan himself - the battle that ended the Betrayer’s life, Akama hoping to fill the temple back with holy light as it used to be, a peaceful sacred site, which served as the refuge of the Prophet Velen.
After Gul’dan’s death, a small shard of his soul remained within the bleached bone of his skull, whispering to whoever held it, proved to still be dangerous, even in death. Illidan Stormrage found and took the skull, absorbing its power, remaining only half night elf and becoming half demon.
The actual story starting from here, Maiev, Akama and a group of adventurers battled their way to Illidan, to depower him by slaying him and taking the Skull of Gul’dan. After achieving victory upon Illidan, the Skull of Gul’dan got taken by Maiev and Akama to a safe place. On the way to the said place, Gul’dan was whispering to both of them through it’s skull, planning on taking control of them, which he managed. With their mind controlled, Maiev and Akama go back to the temple to stop it’s cleanse and claim it as their own, to fulfill their evil plans of taking over Azeroth.
They both commanded their small army from the temple to listen to their commands, and defend the temple while the second and last wave of troops arrive. Akama’s army being located in the Tempest Keep and Maiev’s near the World Tree in the Hyjal’s summit. A group formed of pick up adventurers killed their army from the said locations and were on a run to them to stop Gul’dan once and for all, in which it happened.
Sargeras, commander of Gul’dan, saw Gul’dan’s fail to take over Azeroth through Akama and Maiev, and sent an illusion of himself to the place of incident and talked to him through it’s skull saying he’s disappointed, destroying the skull, thus erasing Gul’dan from the face of the world. He turned it’s face to the group of adventurers saying he’ll finish Gul’dan’s job, and they should not even think of disturbing him in the process or he will destroy them. Sargeras not knowing the group’s combat capacity, and their affiliation with the Prophet Velen, turned his back at them, showing it’s weak point - his servants - from which he gets all his power.
The group of adventurers rally to it’s servants’ lair, killing them thus lowering Sargeras’ power, but not being enough. They get aid from the Prophet Velen itself, busting into Sargeras’ sanctum, the Obsidian Sanctum, managing to end it’s life, even though not being easy. The Titan’s, hearing that, rush to the place of incident to see it through their own eyes. Sargeras’ evil and demonic ashes somehow take over the Titans, driving them mad and thirsty of Azeroth destroying.
Hearing that, the Prophet Velen goes back to the Shattrath City, preparing for the unimaginable, destroying the Titans, the order bringers of the worlds. They first go quickly through the Halls of Lightning, for the magical key of Ulduar, killing every single demi-Titans they found guarding the way to the key. With the key in it’s hands, Velen proceeds opening the great gate of Ulduar, camping a base at the inside entrance, to gather a bigger army, and gather power to buff it’s nearby army to empower their hits, able damaging the great Titans. Velen succeeds into destroying the Titans, thus freeing the world from it’s destruction.
The Prophet Velen may never not be ready for another world war as The Betrayer, Illidan Stormrage, may make his comeback and try to take over Azeroth with his unknown formed powerful army and unthinkable allies.
