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
