In the misty veils of the past, the world of Azeroth was filled with wondrous beings of all kinds. Mysterious elves and bold dwarves walked among humans, until the arrival of the demonic army known as the Burning Legion banished peace forever from the world. Now orcs, dragons, goblins, and trolls fight for dominance over the shattered kingdoms. The Guardians of Tirisfal—a legendary brotherhood of powerful warriors with godlike abilities—have long waged a solitary battle in secret against the Burning Legion. Medivh was chosen from birth to be the greatest and most powerful of this noble order. Yet from the very beginning, a dark shadow lay over his soul, tempting him to use his powers in the service of evil. Medivh's struggle against his dark self would determine the fate of all of Azeroth.
