The Dark Ages of Azeroth
The War Upon The Citadel[paragraph:q44rx4cx]The adventurers were dead, mercenaries powerful and true, summoned to the call of battle in the northern continent, destined to charge and vanquish the remnants of the undead, the Scourge that remained locked under the tyrannical reign of the Lich King, the fallen paladin, Arthas Menethil, infused with the demonic Ner’zhul. Yet the Alliance and Horde could not estimate the powers of the One True King, who slaughtered the Ashen Verdict and killed without discrimination. Those claimed had their souls ripped from their shells, and their corpses served as necrotic warriors on the field of battle; the Alliance and Horde’s fallen turned against them in a battle cold and calculating. Below, the Horde was ripped apart by the final move in the Lich King’s diabolical game of chess, the Forsaken illusion of freedom abolished and the sleeper cell nation was awoken by the call of the Lich King. Lord Tirion Fordring could do nothing but watch, encased in a tomb of ice.

Yet he broke free: a swarm of holy fire blasted the decrepit ice away, and he charged the Lich King head on, and the Ashbringer and Frostmourne collided in a moment of truth, in which the battle was to be decided. The Ashbringer failed, and shattered to the might of the Scourge and Tirion, amongst the pieces of his blade, was struck down in a final and merciless slash. As holy blood was spilled, the Scourge was revitalised and the Alliance and Horde were pushed back, fleeing to their capitals, to recuperate and to make the next move. With each second passing, the morale of the races had disappeared.

With the death of several valiant leaders, new men and women took their charge and changed the face of Azeroth forever. The True Alliance was united under the banner of Anduin Wrynn, the child king, amongst the respect of the The Council of Three Hammers and High Tinker Cogsprocket. Mourning the loss of Thrall, the True Horde came about as old clans joined forces, and a new and far brutish Horde was unleashed under the guidance of Garrosh Hellscream, Rend Blackhand, Vol’jin and Cairne Bloodhoof. As several races disappear from the major factions, political tensions are at the utmost high and the war between Alliance, Horde and Scourge is to be decided once and for all. Only one shall triumph.[/paragraph:q44rx4cx]
What are we?[paragraph:q44rx4cx]The Dark Ages of Azeroth is a project set up as a small-time project that I was going to work upon during the summer as something to occupy myself. Needless to say, I mentioned the project to a friend of mine and we both got the project kick started, and began to sense that we could do something more than a project we might never finish. This was something that could be turned into a gamer's goldmine of nostalgia and creativity. We knew what we wanted. We wanted a balanced game, set in Azeroth that provided a new and original experience for both player-versus-environment and player-versus-player. Naturally, projects like this have been set up, to provide custom content but we don't want to bring about new races for the sake of new races, or new zones or worlds that we imagined. We want the True Alliance and True Horde from the original RTS franchise to make a return. That's what Dark Ages of Azeroth is about.

It's about revitalising a franchise, and gearing it towards the mature generation of players and ex-players alike, who both loved Warcraft I right up to World of Warcraft.

We never said it would be easy...[/paragraph:q44rx4cx]
