“We may have been given pushes, talked to, lied to, manipulated, all of it, but we made our choices. It does me no favors, but I will not walk away from the responsibility of this. If it wasn’t a choice, what would it matter? For good or ill. What would any of this matter if this wasn’t a choice. Especially in the face of death.”

The War of the Ancients was an immense conflict that followed the first coming of the demonic Burning Legion to Azeroth about 2,000 years ago. It was one of the most costly wars in Azeroth's history, and it dramatically influenced the future of all life on the world for millennia in the future. It led to the Great Sundering, which was a cataclysmic event that tore the planet's landmass apart, but it was also the first time one of the Legion's invasions of a world had ever been stopped.

History

First contact with the dark titan Sargeras was instigated by the Highborne queen Azshara and her closest advisor, Xavius.
