| − | |||
| − | The '''First War''' was a conflict fought between the [[orcs]] and [[humans]] following the arrival on [[Azeroth]] of the orcish clans of [[Draenor]]. The human kingdom of [[Kingdom of Azeroth|Azeroth]] was completely destroyed, its survivors forced to flee to [[Lordaeron]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Chronology== |
||
| − | * The Orcish Horde conquer their planet of Draenor. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Orc clans begin fighting amongst themselves. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The child sorcerer [[Medivh]] is born of a coupling between the [[Nielas Aran|court Conjurer]] and a [[Aegwynn|mysterious traveler]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * [[Llane]] is born to King [[Wrynn]] and Lady [[Varia]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Medivh falls into a coma, and his father the Conjurer dies. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Medivh awakens from a six year coma on the same day that Llane becomes Prince of Azeroth, and sometime thereafter begins work on the [[Dark Portal]]. The [[Warlocks]] on Draenor find a small tear in the dimensional fabric and begin studying it, using this information to unite the Orcish Horde once again. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The Dark Portal is opened and the Horde begins their invasion. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Initial battles do not go well for the Horde. Expecting an easy victory against a weak opponent, the orcs rush to [[First Siege of Stormwind Keep|assault]] the fortress of [[Stormwind Keep]], only to suffer a defeat of catastrophic proportions. Few orcs survive the initial battle. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The Age of Chaos begins with the First War and the death of King Adamant. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The Horde is humiliated by the unexpected rout, and the clans swiftly descend into turmoil. Chaos ensues, with factions blaming each other for the orcs' defeat. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * [[Durotan]], chieftain of the [[Frostwolf Clan]], is ambushed and slain by rival orcs. The assassins leave Durotan’s infant son for dead, but the young orc is quickly discovered and saved by a band of humans under the command of [[Aedelas Blackmoore]]. The infant is taken as a slave and given the name [[Thrall]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * [[Gul’dan]] manipulates a ruthless dictator onto the throne of the Warchief. Known as [[Blackhand the Destroyer]], the new Warchief rallies the clans back together again and prepares them for a new assault on [[Azeroth]]. The orcs begin raiding activities against outlying human settlements near the [[Black Morass]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Medivh sends Gul’dan another vision, teasing him with images of the [[Tomb of Sargeras]] and the power it contains. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The orcs bring reinforcements surging into Azeroth, decimating towns and villages and plundering everything in their path. The towns of [[Grand Hamlet]] and [[Sunnyglade]] are destroyed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Lord [[Anduin Lothar]] realizes Medivh’s betrayal. He leads a small band of warriors to Medivh’s tower and [[Raid of Karazhan Tower|confronts]] the wizard. Lothar and [[Khadgar]] slay Medivh, but Sargeras' spirit escapes. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * While searching the mind of Medivh for the true location of the Tomb of Sargeras, Gul'dan falls in a coma during the death of the Grand Magus, leaving Blackhand and the Shadow Council helpless. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Blackhand the Destroyer is betrayed and slain by [[Orgrim Doomhammer]], a trusted general and close friend. Doomhammer replaces Blackhand as Warchief of the Horde. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * [[Northshire]], [[Goldshire]], and [[Moonbrook]] are destroyed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * [[Stormwind Keep]] falls before the full might of the Horde and is sacked. During the battle, [[King Llane]] is slain by one of Gul’dan’s assassins, the half-orc [[Garona]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Spies loyal to Orgrim Doomhammer capture and torture Garona. In agony, she reveals the existence of the [[Shadow Council]] and directs them to the location of Gul’dan’s warlocks near the ruins of Stormwind Keep. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Doomhammer dispatches his elite wolfriders to the ruins. They slay or execute most of Gul'dan’s warlocks and disperse the remaining members of the Shadow Council. Gul’dan awakens from his coma and pleads for mercy from Doomhammer, offering complete submission. Doomhammer accepts and grants him mercy. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Lord Anduin Lothar concedes that the Kingdom of Azeroth has been lost. He rallies his countrymen and leads them in a desperate retreat across the [[Great Sea]], eventually landing upon the shores of [[Lordaeron]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The Warlocks resume their experiments with the portal. |
