Argus in General


So as stated in the first event of Argus, being the Legion’s homeworld, demons constantly respawn in areas they are cleared out in. That means, beyond what is taken in Main Events, no area of Argus can be claimed or ever fully cleared out. That means events on Argus should focus less on killing large numbers of demons and more on some type of goal, either to get something, stop something from happening or destroying a structure. Events on Argus should be framed as quick and sudden strikes rather than massive battles.

In addition, Argus rares do not permanently go away. Even if a rare has been done before, they can be used again a short time later, to emphasise the fact that not only has the Legion somehow subverted the natural order of things but that for some reason demons on Argus are not dying permanently as they should. Also if a rare awards a mount that mount can be given out, though demonic mounts can only be used as pets by warlocks and demon hunters.

Finally, Argus is extremely dangerous for non Legion aligned demons and demon hunters and half demons who have demonic souls. Atleast to die on. Unlike normal, their soul will not head into the nether to regenerate, instead heading to the world soul where they will most likely be trapped and either forced to serve the Legion or are obliterated when Argus is killed.


Krokuun


Krokuun has several side quests that can be done.

Petrified Forest: First up is in the Petrified Forest where the Krokul are asking for aid in both collecting Talbuks for mounts as well as stopping the Legion from kidnapping the Broken to fuel dark rituals to create a previously unseen type of demon: The horrific Ur'zul.


Unending Assault: The Vindicaar is under constant attack from the Legion and thus will require heroes to repeatedly push back the demons from its initial landing site. The Legion will also bring in the Devastators again to try and shoot down the ship. This quest is infinitely repeatable until Argus is over and can have different Legion commanders leading the efforts.

Crystals of Light: While the Xenedaar is a lost cause, there are still valuable supplies that can be found inside of it. The heroes will need to constantly fight off the Legion’s attempt to secure the ship. Unlike before, the Legion is willing to use the massive Light Breakers as well as swarms of Felbats to overrun the Army of the Light’s position.  This quest is infinitely repeatable until Argus is over and can have different Legion commanders leading the efforts.

For now, the area around Nath'raxas Hold is closed off. This thread will be updated when it opens up.

Antoran Wastes

The Antoran Wastes is both the industrial heart and capital of the Legion. Here is where many of the Legion’s most important alchemical, mechanical, and magical weapons are produced. It’s also home to Antorus, the Burning Throne; the most important base the Legion has. While any assault on Antorus has to wait, the rest of the zone is open. There are only two areas that the forces of Azeroth control besides the Vindicaar. Veiled Den, controlled by the Illidari; and Light’s Purchase, controlled by the Army of the Light.

This area has no quests beyond its intro and is considered a ST playground, where STs are free to do whatever they wish, similar to Battlefield Barrens, where they can create their own storylines or one off events. Since this is a very important area to the Legion, it’s encouraged to be as creative as possible in damaging their war machine.

The Wastes are also home to another event line STs can run: Invasion Points.

Invasion Points

Invasion Points are portals from Argus to other worlds the Legion are attacking. The forces from Azeroth can use these portals to blind side the Legion and stop their attacks on innocent planets. Invasion points can be seen as mini-dungeons that can be done by STs. There are 6 planets that can be visited and they all need help. In addition, STs can also apply for the 6 new world bosses that can appear on this planet as well. These world bosses do drop loot however, unlike other world bosses. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO MAKE LOOT FOR THEM. In addition if you don’t want to use these world bosses, you can also use any Legion Rare as the commander of the attack that has appeared in Legion (save they were not permanently killed). Because we will most likely never see these worlds again, feel free to go crazy. The world bosses can be used on any planet, not just the ones they appear in on retail.

Once an invasion is fought back, the portal to the planet is closed FOR GOOD. There is no going back.

The six planets under attack are:

Aurinor:  A world with blue grass and trees on floating islands with seemingly nothing but clouds below them. The planet seems to have major time anomalies on its surface, orbs of chronomatic magic found floating that can either speed up or slow down time.

.f t Aurinor

Bonich: A forest world with animals and insects similar to Azeroth. The Legion seeks to drain the world dry of its many resources.

.f t Bonich

Cen'gar: A volcanic world that has many types of flame elementals that will attack both Legion and Azeroth’s Forces. The Legion seeks to corrupts this world's powerful elementals and add them to its war host.

.f t cen'gar

Naigtal: A swamp-like world that once held a race of sentient beings. The Legion’s constant attacks wiped them out and now only the creatures remain. Avenge this fallen race by denying the Legion this world.

.f t Naigtal

Sangua: A dark world with an even darker nature. Deep red blood pours from the surface as the Legion drains it for whatever twisted reasons they can imagine. Azeroth Forces may be subjected not only to the Legion but dark whispers and tendrils deep from under the planet

.f t Sangua

Val: Unlike the other planets, Val has completely fallen to the Legion but has not yet been terraformed fully into a Legion world. It is a cold and inhospitable place. Destroy the Legion’s invasion force and shut down their portal, denying the Legion a new world to transform.

.f t Val

The 6 World Bosses are:

Matron Folnuna: Matron Folnuna destroys worlds by infecting them with her spawn. These vile creatures spread like a plague over the landscape, corrupting and devouring anything in their path.

Mistress Alluradel: All those who gaze upon Mistress Alluradel fall under her sinister control. She commands victims of her dominance to inflict gruesome torments upon themselves. A thrall's only hope to escape is death, and Alluradel will not allow that release until their agonized screams have ceased to amuse her.

Inquisitor Meto: Inquisitor Meto's mastery over fel magic is rivaled by few in the Legion. Meto uses this power to sow chaos and destruction across the cosmos, leaving countless burning worlds in his wake.

Occularus: Occularus feeds on the minds of his enemies, savoring their despair as he sears their flesh. This malevolent creature has devoured worlds, yet his hunger remains insatiable.

Sotanathor: Sotanathor's legendary strength was forged through countless burning campaigns across the cosmos. A brutal general, this demon commands vast legions that have never known defeat.

Pit Lord Vilemus: Pit Lord Vilemus' brutality is renowned even among the Legion. He delights in setting his foes aflame in fel fire, then laughing at their despair as they beg for the mercy of death.

Eredath

Eredath, like the Wastes, has no real side quests. The zone will open up in halves. When the right zone Main Event is complete STs will be able to run storylines there, and when the left side of the Main Event is complete, STs will be able to run storylines. Keep in mind, because Eredath is happening near the end of Argus, it is better to consider what events you may want to run now rather than wait until the zones open up.]]>

When the Crucible unlocks, players will be able to empower ONE Gold Trait with a secondary activatable effect with either the Light or Void, as well as be able to fluff up their other traits with either Light or Void effects. In essence one of your gold traits is getting a second ability that you can choose to use. For these abilities you can only attack, heal or give advantage/disadvantage, you cannot gain a plus to your counter attacks or reduce the enemies counter attack..

However, some artifacts can only be empowered by the Light and only some can be empowered by the Void. The ones that are considered “neutral” can be empowered by either force but can only be empowered by one of them. For example, Ashbringer can only be empowered by Light and Xal'atath can only be empowered by the Void. However, an artifact like Titanstrike can be empowered by either Light or Void.

These won't unlock at the same time. The Holy side of the Crucible unlocks after the Feb 4th event and the Void side unlocks after the March 11th event. That means players who use Holy will have access a full month before those who want/have to use the Void. However, both  can be CTSed for the empowerment ability to use as soon as this post goes live and can be used as soon as their respective sides are unlocked.

There is no format for this. Just tell us what Gold Trait you're empowering and what the secondary effect will be. If you have any questions feel free to ask us!]]>

Not only that, but completing a Mage Tower Final event will unlock the Challenging Appearance for all Main Line Artifact users who attend that event! There are 7 quest lines in all so everyone should have a chance at running or attending something. Should no one do the Mage Tower quest lines or find yourself unable to attend any of the events, the staff will discuss what to do with the Challenging Appearances.

To claim these, just make a quick CTS, ask any questions you feel you need answered, any small changes you feel like you may need to make and you’ll be all set. The Staff will try to answer these CTS’s before Sunday to give you enough time to prepare and get the event going.

And another note, while these quest lines are based on spec on Retail, on Freedom there is no such limitation and can be attended by anyone.

The following google doc shows all the Mage Tower Quests, along with hyperlinks to the start of the quest line and a hyper link to the Final Boss fight quest.

The Pillars of Creation have all be found and assembled. Gul'dan is defeated and Sargeras's plan of taking over Illidan Stormrage's body has been thwarted. But the Legion's invasion isn't over yet. Over the Broken Shore, the Fel Storm still rages and unleashes demon after demon on to Azeroth. And while one of their plans have been waylayed, The Legion has no intentions of giving up now. To end the invasion and send the Legion screaming back into the Nether, the Champions of Azeroth and their Order Halls must do what the Horde and Alliance failed to do...invade the Broken Shore and storm the Tomb of Sargeras himself. They must use the Pillars to seal the Tomb from ever being used a gateway to the Legion again. But it won't be easy.
Many challenges await the heroes and their allies, on the Broken Isles and elsewhere. The Legion will fight tooth and claw to keep their hold on Azeroth and with Gul'dan out of the picture and many of the Legion's top Commanders dead or imprisoned, that only leaves one person in full control over the invasion besides Sargeras himself. The Deceiver...Kil'jaeden! The Champions have defeated the likes of Archimonde, Mannaroth and even silver of power from Sargeras himself. But will they be able to stand up to the one who has hunted down his former people for thousands of years?
Welcome to Patch 7.2 for WoW Freedom! In this patch several things unlock! Read below to find out more!
Gold Trait 5
At the end of the event on April 16th, Gold Trait 5 will finally unlock for all players who have gotten it approved! More info on GT5 can be found here!
Class Order Hall Storylines and Class Order Hall Mounts!
Class Order Hall storylines return for the final legs of their stories! Each storyline will introduce a new champion to the Order Hall as well as unlock a special mount obtainable only by members of that Order Hall! Not every Order Hall will be getting a mount similar to retail and there will be a few surprises in there to keep all of you guessing. The staff will have a full announcement about Class Order Hall mounts in the near future. Keep an eye out for Order Hall Events! They will be starting soon!
Battle for the Broken Shore
After the opening event, players will be able to host events on the Broken Shore itself! Like Battlefield Barrens back in MoP, players will have almost 3 months to do events on the Broken Shore with the only off limits zone begin the entrance to the Tomb itself. Not only that, but THREE world bosses are now available. The terrible Fel Reaver Apocron, The Dread Lord Malificus and the powerful Naga Witch Si'vash! The Broken Shore will remain open for the rest of Legion!
Legion Invasions: The Broken Isles
Not only that but the Legion is now focusing its efforts on undoing many of the postive changes the Champions have made to the Broken Isles themselves. Azsuna, Val'shara, High Mountain and Stormheim can now be invaded heavily by the Legion! These can be full story-lines or one off events depending on what the applying ST wants to do! For ideas on these invasions, check out this wowpedia page
The Mage Tower
And finally...Freedom is proud to introduce the Mage Tower Questlines! These are open for anyone, ST or GM to apply for and host. 7 unique storylines that lead to an epic boss battle at the end of each of them. Unlike retail, the quests will not limited to class or spec but instead will be open to all who are interested! Players with Main Line Artifacts who attend a Mage Tower Boss Fight will unlock their final appearance of the expansion: The Challenging Appearance! The staff will have a full break down of the quests as well as alternative ways a player can get their final appearance if they cannot attend a Mage Tower storyline.

Azsuna, Val'shara, High Mountain and Stormheim can now be invaded heavily by the Legion! These can be full story-lines or one off events depending on what the applying ST wants to do! For ideas on these invasions, check out this wowpedia page
The Mage Tower
And finally...Freedom is proud to introduce the Mage Tower Questlines! These are open for anyone, ST or GM to apply for and host. 7 unique storylines that lead to an epic boss battle at the end of each of them. Unlike retail, the quests will not limited to class or spec but instead will be open to all who are interested! Players with Main Line Artifacts who attend a Mage Tower Boss Fight will unlock their final appearance of the expansion: The Challenging Appearance! The staff will have a full break down of the quests as well as alternative ways a player can get their final appearance if they cannot attend a Mage Tower storyline.

Today we’d like to introduce a new rank into the fold: The Artificer.

Artificers are a temporary rank made up of players who would like to help the staff team with writing up dungeon/raid loot. Not only will this help offload some of the work the staff has to do, it’ll also help us see what type of loot participating players would like to see.

There is no application process for becoming an artificer, simply submit a CTS stating you’d like to become one and we’ll go from there. Submissions for artificer will ONLY apply for the upcoming dungeon/raid and, upon completion, players will have to re-apply to help with the next dungeon/rank. As with storytellers, submitting your interest will not guarantee acceptance into that rank.

There are three rules that must be adhered to upon becoming an artificer.
  • Any loot you write for a dungeon/raid will not be obtainable for you under any circumstances, even if that loot piece is unclaimed. If you write it, you cannot loot it, and this rule will apply for staff members as well.
  • Artificers are not to discuss/share the loot they are working on with anyone outside of fellow artificers and staff members. If leaks are found and traced back to you, your rank will be removed and you will not be considered for future artificer opportunities.
  • You are not to make loot for the benefit of a sole person. If we catch wind of someone making loot that caters to their friends, their rank will be removed. Loot has to be inclusive.
Artificers will have their own discord channel in order to discuss what loot they wish to claim and work with each other/with staff members. They will be allowed to claim up to five items to work on at any given time. In order to prevent leaks, artificers will not have access to the master loot document and will submit their own works via CTS.

Each boss will have a ‘due date’ of when the loot will need to be submitted, so that the staff team can review/approve the loot that will be going out. If an artificer wishes to join in on the meeting when loot is being discussed, they will be allowed to in order to get feedback/provide clarity. This is not required, however, and may change depending on how the first few tests go.

Please be aware that this is a new system and there may be a few slight hiccups as we get this all put together. 

We want to say thank you to anyone who is considering taking on this role to lend us a hand and, if you have any questions, please reach out to us!]]>

What is Gold Trait 5?

Gold Trait 5 is the final Gold Trait unlocked for artifacts in Legion. It’s unlocked very early in the Broken Shore storyline and serves as sorta the ultimate amplifier for artifacts.

Players will create their own Gold Trait 5, regardless of type of Artifact.

Yep! You read that right! Both Mainline and Custom Artifact users will be able to make their own Gold Trait 5s! The staff has figured it would be easier and much more beneficial to players if both types could create their final Gold Trait. Creating Gold Trait 5 is similar to creating a Gold Trait for a custom artifact. Main Line Artifacts do have named Gold Traits...but because many of them seem silly, we are allowing players to change the name to something more inline with their artifact. This the application for Gold Trait 5 Below,

Name of Artifact:
Main Line or Custom:
Name of Gold Trait 5(include the original name if you have changed it from a Main Line):
Effect:

When you're ready, submit this application as a CTS and the staff will look over it and work with you in fully approving it! There is no rush and no deadline for Gold Trait 5. Again we have until April before they start appearing so take your time in crafting it.

How powerful should a Gold Trait 5 be?

Because Gold Trait 5’s are the most powerful an artifact will ever be, it’’s effect should be a game changer in a sense. If Gold Trait 4 is the Artifacts Ultimate Move, then Gold Trait 5 should be the Limit Breaker that goes beyond in power. All Gold Trait 5 abilities  must be Once Per Event. Keep in mind your artifacts history, it’s current set of Gold Traits and the power it has been blessed by when creating Gold Trait 5.

1. Players can now get a Third Artifact on a Third character

The staff has deemed it late in Legion enough that we can begin to offer this to players interested. Players who already have two Artifacts on two separate characters can apply for a third one, Main Line or Custom, on a third character. We understand that having three artifacts may cause some issues as players cannot triple box at events in regards to activity on that character. We do expect the character to be around and not just a placeholder but we will understand if the character cannot be at every event. Use your best judgement when asking for a third artifact on whether or not you can balance three characters with powerful items.

We also may ask players to hold off on obtaining a Third Artifact if we see someone who has a lesser number of Artifacts or none at all who we think would fit better. Keep this mind: You are not guaranteed to get a Third Artifact.

2. Explore the History of a Main Line Artifact

In every Class Order Hall, there is an archive of all the Main Line Artifacts histories. Through hours of research and dedicated learning, most of the histories, known or previously unknown, much of the Main Line Artifact’s histories have been revealed. Players can use this information to create events where they can relive the details in these books that led to the creation or use of their Artifact. The style of event is ultimately up to the person running it but it should be framed in a historical sense. To read up on the IC books about each Class Hall’s Artifacts please read over this Wowpedia page. By looking at each Order Hall’s Research NPC, you’ll find links to the IC books available in each Order Hall. Use this as your inspiration! Be sure to CTS the staff with event details if you want to do this.

3. Valorous and Mage Tower Appearances

This has been discussed before but never really codified. Well the Staff team feels now it’s time to. Valorous and Mage Tower Appearances will be available to Main Line Artifact Wielders once we hit certain thresholds.

Valorous Appearances will be available once the Nighthold is finished. There will be a short event afterwards that will allow players at the event and in the future(through their own mini-event if they cannot attend the staff one) to unlock the Valorous appearances. Players will have access to all the appearances of the Valorous set, though people will still be able to use these appearances for Custom Artifacts.

Mage Tower Appearances will be available once we get to 7.2 and the Mage Tower quests open up. To obtain these appearances players will have to attend a Mage Tower Event and defeat the final boss of the quest line.  Players will have access to all the appearances of the Mage Tower set. This set of appearances will be exclusive to the Main Line Artifact wielders if they want it to be so. If you wish to have your Mage Tower appearance exclusive only to you, please make a CTS to let the staff know. Mage Tower Appearances that are exclusive to their wielders cannot be turned into Custom Artifacts. HOWEVER, if you already have a Mage Tower Appearance that is a custom artifact this does not apply to you and can be considered grandfathered in.  This is still in the early planning stage, and the Staff will have more information on how these events will be run and what Main Line Artifact wielders who cannot attend these events can do.


4. Artifact Appearances Doc Version 2

A lot of you may remember the Artifact Appearances Document released at the start of Legion. I’ll be the first to admit it’s a mess and very confusing to navigate. It’s been cleaned up entirely. The suggestions have been removed and all that is left is the appearances and which skins have been made into full fledged artifacts. Feel free to look over the doc if you wish to create a Custom Artifact or just want to look at appearances. You can view it here: Artifact Appearances Doc

5. Changes to Custom Artifacts

This is the big one and the one that will change things completely for Custom Artifacts. First let me state in very clear terms: THOSE WHO HAVE CUSTOMS ARTIFACTS FROM BEFORE THIS GOES INTO EFFECT ARE BEING GRANDFATHERED IN. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOU, EVEN IF YOU GAVE UP YOUR CUSTOM ARTIFACT IN THE PAST. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO CUSTOM ARTIFACTS CREATED AFTER THESE GUIDELINES HAVE GONE PUBLIC.

First let me state, it was never our intention to have Custom Artifacts more popular than Main Line ones. We had thought it would be a very cool way for players to express themselves or not box themselves in too much with a Main Line. And while that succeeded, it has left some Main Line wielders feeling bad as they are stuck with whatever the game gave them. And while some of it is unpreventable, we can close the gap a bit between Main Line and Custom Artifacts. Below you’ll find the changes the staff has made to the rules of Custom Artifacts.

Change 1: Custom Artifacts can now only come from one of three sources. First is a Legendary or Lore item raised to Artifact Status. These types of weapons can be found in this thread here: Artifact and Lore Thread

Second is from appearances that have been spun off from their original Artifact. These are noted in the Appearances Document that is linked above.

Third, for completely Custom Artifacts(I.E weapons with lore you create), they can only use appearances from the Appearances Doc(again linked above). This means only those appearances can be used in the creation of completely Custom Artifacts. The Staff realizes this may be a bit harsh but one of the reasons Custom Artifacts have gotten so out of control, at least to the view of some people, is us liberally allowing anyone to turn anything into an artifact. From now on, only those appearances above can be used as Completely Custom Artifacts.

Change 2: Custom Artifacts can only have 1 event to obtain it. This is another big change that the Staff feels is necessary. When someone obtains a Main Line Artifact, it’s normally one big event. However, we have noticed for Custom Artifacts players have created entire event lines centered on getting it. While it has not been terrible, this is not what the Staff wanted or wants now. It makes Custom Artifacts far to above Main Line artifacts. So to bring some level of parity between them, when creating the method for obtaining a Custom Artifact, it should be a single event. The staff will no longer accept Custom Artifacts that need entire event lines to complete. If you need help condensing your Custom Artifact into a single event, the staff is willing to help in your CTS.

Change 3: The Staff will be a little more critical on handing out Custom Artifacts, to the same extent we are of Main Line Artifacts. Custom Artifacts sorta of became...very easy to get over Main Line Artifacts at some point and the staff want to change that. While the Staff will not be overly harsh, we will be asking players who want a Custom Artifact to expect the same sort of judgement we would have on a player asking for a Main Line artifact. For players who go inactive with a Custom Artifact they will not have it taken away. Instead the Artifact will be depowered to Legendary status(regardless if the player gives it up or not), and if the player returns they may make a CTS to hash out on how to bring it back up to Artifact status or change it to be more suited to a legendary weapon.


6. Activity Check Ups

Similar to Storytellers, the staff will be looking at the activity of all Artifact wielders, both Main Line and Custom, every 3 months. For those who are inactive or having trouble with getting on, the staff will be reaching out to see what can be done.]]>

First let me state, it was never our intention to have Custom Artifacts more popular than Main Line ones. We had thought it would be a very cool way for players to express themselves or not box themselves in too much with a Main Line. And while that succeeded, it has left some Main Line wielders feeling bad as they are stuck with whatever the game gave them. And while some of it is unpreventable, we can close the gap a bit between Main Line and Custom Artifacts. Below you’ll find the changes the staff has made to the rules of Custom Artifacts.

Change 1: Custom Artifacts can now only come from one of three sources. First is a Legendary or Lore item raised to Artifact Status. These types of weapons can be found in this thread here: Artifact and Lore Thread

Second is from appearances that have been spun off from their original Artifact. These are noted in the Appearances Document that is linked above.

Third, for completely Custom Artifacts(I.E weapons with lore you create), they can only use appearances from the Appearances Doc(again linked above). This means only those appearances can be used in the creation of completely Custom Artifacts. The Staff realizes this may be a bit harsh but one of the reasons Custom Artifacts have gotten so out of control, at least to the view of some people, is us liberally allowing anyone to turn anything into an artifact. From now on, only those appearances above can be used as Completely Custom Artifacts.

Change 2: Custom Artifacts can only have 1 event to obtain it. This is another big change that the Staff feels is necessary. When someone obtains a Main Line Artifact, it’s normally one big event. However, we have noticed for Custom Artifacts players have created entire event lines centered on getting it. While it has not been terrible, this is not what the Staff wanted or wants now. It makes Custom Artifacts far to above Main Line artifacts. So to bring some level of parity between them, when creating the method for obtaining a Custom Artifact, it should be a single event. The staff will no longer accept Custom Artifacts that need entire event lines to complete. If you need help condensing your Custom Artifact into a single event, the staff is willing to help in your CTS.

Change 3: The Staff will be a little more critical on handing out Custom Artifacts, to the same extent we are of Main Line Artifacts. Custom Artifacts sorta of became...very easy to get over Main Line Artifacts at some point and the staff want to change that. While the Staff will not be overly harsh, we will be asking players who want a Custom Artifact to expect the same sort of judgement we would have on a player asking for a Main Line artifact. For players who go inactive with a Custom Artifact they will not have it taken away. Instead the Artifact will be depowered to Legendary status(regardless if the player gives it up or not), and if the player returns they may make a CTS to hash out on how to bring it back up to Artifact status or change it to be more suited to a legendary weapon.


6. Activity Check Ups

Similar to Storytellers, the staff will be looking at the activity of all Artifact wielders, both Main Line and Custom, every 3 months. For those who are inactive or having trouble with getting on, the staff will be reaching out to see what can be done.]]> <![CDATA[Trial of Valor]]> https://wowfreedom-rp.com/f/showthread.php?tid=6247 Wed, 18 Aug 2021 16:08:40 -0400 zackaroth]]> https://wowfreedom-rp.com/f/showthread.php?tid=6247

Return to Karazhan
The Emerald Nightmare has been defeated and the Nightfallen finally have a way to counter the addiction to the Nightwelll and prepare for a full scale rebellion. But the Legion still remains an ever present threat. Hundreds of demons pour from the Tomb of Sargeras every day and shows no sign of stopping. Where they to gain another entry point into Azeroth...it could spell doom for everyone. But what place on Azeroth would allow them entry? What place could be connected to all the Leylines of the world. What place could be considered a magical nexus strong enough to even rival the Tomb? Uh oh...
Khadgar's wards are failing, Karazhan comes alive with old and new foes alike and once more the Legion teeters on the brink of victory, threatening to completely undo what has been accomplished in the past year. To save Azeroth from a two front war they could not possibly win, the Heroes must Return to Karazhan....

"Your coming was foretold in the rings. The long circle is nearly complete"
The Emerald Nightmare
The Emerald Nightmare has only grown stronger since the heroes departed Val'sharah. Now completely corrupted, the Nightmare threatens to spill over into Azeroth during a critical point with the war with the Legion. Malfurion has decided it's time. He calling all the Heroes of Azeroth, all those who are friends to nature and all those who wish see the Dream once again in it's pure state to his cause. To storm and cleanse the Emerald Nighmare. But it won't be easy. Corrupted Wild Gods, Infected Dragons, pieces of the corruption itself, Malfurion's own teacher and finally...the Nightmare Lord himself await. The battle to purify the vision of the blueprint of Azeroth begins...
Legion's first raid begins in two weeks! This time we are doing raids a little different, trying to make them 2 bosses per day instead of three. Of course, the final two bosses will still be a Friday and Saturday combo. Below you will find the schedule!
Also keep in mind we will be doing the Suramar Finale a week after the end of the Emerald Nightmare as it ties into the ending of the raid!
