Burning Legion

For all we've talked about her when discussing other important players in Warcraft lore, we've never really taken a direct look at Aegwynn, the second-to-last Guardian of Tirisfal.

Gul'dan has a long and storied history in World of Warcraft -- after all, his betrayal of Ner'zhul and subsequent takeover of the original Horde is what brought the Orcs to Azeroth in the first place.

Warlords of Draenor is coming to an end, and with the next expansion's announcement, we see that the story will continue right on into the next...sort of.

In an interview with Game-Guide, J.

Illidan Stormrage is one of the most well-known figures in Warcraft lore, although the majority of his story took place long before World of Warcraft -- he was first featured back in Warcraft 3.

As soon as Hellfire Citadel and patch 6.2 hit the servers -- and maybe even a little before -- people started talking about what the next WoW expansion is going to be.

It's not necessarily a place, or even a direction.

Archimonde, we assumed, was dead. But he's show up again on Draenor, and it's left a lot of people confused as to how he could have been dead, and suddenly is not. People speculated that just as there are infinite versions of Draenor, there are infinite versions of the Burning Legion as well. That's where a tweet from Alex Afrasiabi comes in.

What does Wrathion want with Draenor, why is he there to begin with, and why did he ally with Kairoz and help Garrosh Hellscream escape? I think the answer to that question may very well have been staring us in the face all along, and it's been staring us in the face since the end of Mists of Pandaria.

Wrathion spent pretty much the entirety of Mists of Pandaria sending us on errands -- and now it appears the Black Prince is on Draenor. Yet despite evidence of his presence, he's nowhere to be found. Then, of course, is the question of why Wrathion would be on Draenor when it's the safety of Azeroth he's concerned with, especially after his visions of the world being overrun.
