For Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition

The Drums of War, Thunder Once Again

Four years after the Battle of Mount Hyjal, tensions between the Alliance and
the Horde begin to arise once again.
Intent on settling the arid region of Durotar, Thrall's new Horde expanded its ranks,
inviting the undead Forsaken to join Orcs, Tauren, and Trolls.
Meanwhile, Dwarves, Gnomes and the ancient Night Elves pledged their loyalties to a
reinvigorated Alliance, guided by the human kingdom of Stormwind.

The Faction War

The world of Azeroth is being split in two, because of this you must pick a side, all of the
party must be playing races of the same faction.

The Races of Azeroth

The races of Azeroth are divided by their allegiance to the Alliance or The Horde, and as time passes more races
choose a side, Horde Races will be depicted in Red, and Alliance in Blue.

Classic Races
The Alliance
The Alliance consists of powerful cultures and
groups bound not by desperation or necessity, but
by their deep commitments to abstract concepts
like nobility and honour.
The Alliance was once also known as the Alliance
of Lordaeron when its leadership was centered
in Lordaeron. However, the Alliance was forced
to move the bulk of its forces to Kalimdor and to
the southern Eastern Kingdoms continents
of Khaz Modan and Azeroth after the plague of
undeath ravaged the Kingdom
of Lordaeron several years ago.
Humans of Stormwind
Ten thousand years ago, the night elves founded a
vast empire, but their reckless use of primal magic
brought them to ruin. In grief, they withdrew to the

other choice, the night elves emerged at last from
their seclusion to fight for their place in the new
world.
