Battle for Azeroth Begins – Azeroth News

Selina welcoming you to the Darkmoon Faire at her Information Booth.

 

Earlier today Sayge was seen visibly shaken after awaking from his tent. He began to detail the horrors witnessed in his vision.

“Taking place upon the ruins of great Lordaeron was a massive battle. Lady Sylvanas Windrunner emerged atop a wall walk where many archers were rapidly firing. Lady Sylvanas stared onward, focused on the coming battle.”

A Catastrophic Clash

“I was able to see what she was surveying… A grand army assembled by the esteemed Alliance. Genn Greymane and Anduin Wrynn were leading the charge of footmen, riflemen, and siege towers toward the once glimmering city. As the Alliance advanced closer and closer the Horde pulled back with their wounded. Sylvanas spotted an approaching siege tower, and obliterated it in mere seconds. Diving down the dismantled tower, she unleashed her banshee form and executed a plethora of Alliance soldiers.”

Sylvanas shouting "For the Horde" in the Battle for Azeroth cinematic.

 

The Horde Charge

“That bravery and destruction was witnessed throughout the Horde forces causing their spirits to become reignited. Pushing through the Alliance front line, the Horde approached Genn and Anduin. Anduin became quickly assaulted and struggled against the Horde offensive force. He recovered for a moment only to see the bulk of his forces overpowered and shattered. Calling upon the Light, Anduin conjured a mighty beam of light from the heavens.”

Anduin Wrynn charges his holiness to revive his troops as the Horde watches in awe during the Battle for Azeroth trailer.

“This light rejuvenated and revived the Alliance forces. Upon the restoration of his troops, the forces of the Alliance and Horde charge each other once more in soul shattering combat. My vision ended there, only after seeing an orc and a human face glaring each other down with the numbers ‘08.14.18’.

Is this surely the prophecy for a future Battle for Azeroth? We’ll be keeping an eye on Sayge and watching out for any strange activity. Stay tuned for any more breaking news here at Darkmoon Times!

Raiding with Realm – Blog Scroll

The spot to find articles about Warcraft blogs! Piece of parchment with "Blog Scroll" visible and various other blurry statements around it.

 

Lately in the Darkmoon Times, we’ve been discussing guilds and how they’re changing. Whether those changes be for the better or not is something that will only be seen in the future. In the meantime, we can still reminisce of old days and even create new memories right now! Warcraft blogger and streamer, Cinder, has recently had the pleasure of finding and loving the guild she’s in. So much so that she has created an awe-inspiring work of art using the subject she enjoys so much: her guild.

Raiding with Realm by Cinder

 

A mosaic rendering of her guild’s logo, Cinder herself created this using screenshots of her guild during their raids. If not for her new friends and the guild they compose a piece of art like this wouldn’t have the chance to exist! Nothing enhances Azeroth like having allies to do anything and everything with. Even if life seems bleak, those friends are able to lift you up and shine a new light in the darkness.

Perhaps one day guilds will have their place in Azeroth yet again. For now, we wish you and Realm many more awesome adventures, Cinder! Check out other Cinder posts here! Now take this rockin’ guild logo and let it inspire you to seek out the unexpected!
