Prologue

King Anduin Wrynn of the Alliance (human) is hunting Sylvanas Windrunner (Undead queen) because Sylvanas murdered her own kind and had burned down Teldrassil the home of the Night Elves. Sylvanas was at one time a high elf, but was turned undead by the Lich King Arthas. And ever since that day, Sylvanas's mind has been more twisted and more corrupt where she becomes even more evil as the days go on.

In Westfall, after running into some troubled farmers, Alleria Windrunner, a void elf now was a high elf, sister to Sylvanas, told Anduin that she could not track down the banshee queen making the excuse that Sylvanas is no boar and that she will use every evil trick in the book to hide herself.

After agreeing to help the farmers, Anduin decides to return to his castle in Stormwind City to figure out what to do next.

Thrall, who was the warchief of the horde at one time, an orc shaman, had returned to Ogrimmar for a council summons. Since Sylvanas Windrunner, an undead banshee queen, had turned traitor against the horde, the horde thought it best to create a council instead and this seemed to be their first meeting.

It was going smoothly at first, but then due to opinions and left over problems that might have nothing to do with the Banshee queen issue, an argument broke out and the meeting adjourned.

Then, to make matters even worse, an older Orc shaman wanted to see Thrall to tell him that the spirits are agitated and that something is most definitely wrong here.

Now whenever this happens, usually it means that its a problem that effects the entirety of Azeroth and not just the horde, so it is best to keep the spirits happy if possible.

Queen Talanji was targeted for an assassination by one of her own people, the Zandalari trolls who had accompanied her for the meeting with the Horde council. She had begged the horde to help her with some Zandalari issues claiming that it is of the utmost importance, but because the horde felt that there were more pressing matters, like dealing with Sylvanas was more of a priority. And so, the troll queen went back home without help feeling scared for her life.

In the golden throne room, where the troll queen was being dis-robed for the evening, the troll queen thought about the day's events and called upon the Loa of Death known as Bwomsamdi. She needed council on how to deal with her people now as some do not see her fit to rule as queen.

However, the Loa would not grant her request to see her dead father for advice.

Apari and her rebels have caused Nathanos and a small group working for the banshee queen to flee. They had managed to trap some Zandalari guards on the beach and kill them, but it got Nathanos thinking of just how tough the orders that Sylvanas gave him were.

There was no doubt he'd be loyal to the banshee queen, but he realized that this fight was not going to be easy.
