Azeroth factions (Year 25)
The Alliance and the Horde fought side by side at Hyjal, but the alliance ended with the battle. Theramore and Orgrimmar keep an uneasy peace; everywhere else the two factions are at war again.
Dramatis personae
Bloodlines
The families whose quarrels and tragedies shape the age. Dotted lines mark marriage; solid lines mark descent.
Chains of command
Who answers to whom, for the powers that drive the age. Read top to bottom.
The company
The charter, the command, the Hall of Heroes, the deeds, the trophies and the gallery. Everything here is Blacktide’s own lore; the history it stands on is under Timeline and The World. Pick a member in the Timeline’s “See it as…” to light up the events they lived through.
Where your character fits
What a character of each race has likely lived through by Year 25, the grudges they probably carry, and what they almost certainly do not know. Pick a race on the Timeline tab to light up the events that touched them. Pick a Skyborne and ten thousand years of Azeroth go dim, because they were not here for any of it.
Where it happened
The same history, sorted by ground. Pick a region to see what happened there; each event links back to the timeline. Events that touched two regions appear under both.
Pronunciation guide
