+ Zone Phasing based on Zone Completion. Ex: When you complete a zone, things feel finished up, no constant never ending battles/bad guys still in areas you cleared. Storys feel finished. Future Expansions can come in and add high level quests to different zones that are phased out.
- Following the events of Legion this would take place approximately four to six years after the end of Legion. Sense that time Azeroth has died down in excitment. It has returned to its pre-orc times of peace, but this will soon end. Forces on all sides are rising up to take what they believe is rightfully theirs. Zones have changed due to the long term affects of the Earthwarders destreuction, but it has been mostly positive, and some new ones have been "discovered".
- Tyrannde has convinced Malfurion to give up Cenarion lands in Felwood, and has taken drastic measures to drive the Horde out; she has also driven the Horde out of western Ashenvale and Darkshore.
- Sylvannas has claimed the entirety of Gilneas, and made it a breeding ground for spiders, and bats for her army, but Darius Crowley constantly resists her from the Alliance claimed Tol'barad. While Stormpike dwarves, and many humans of Alterac cause trouble in the mountains above Hillsbrad.
- Jaina rebuilt Theramore in the after math and vowed to drive the Horde from Dustwallow. In her push she drove out the Stonemaul, and their allies; as well as the Grimtotem, but lost the battle in Southern Barrens. However, to ensure the Horde cannot readily counter attack she has built a large fortress at the entrance to the Marsh.
- Anduin has helped the dwarves drive the Horde out of the Verdant Gorge, north of Blackrock Mountain, as well as drive the Blackrock themselves out Redridge.
- The Blackrock Clan (and Allies), Dragonmaw Clan, and even a large number of Grimtotem have joined the Horde under new leadership, and this has led to a breakout of constant Battle in the Twilight Highlands, and within Blackrock Mountain.
- The Night Elves have found a cure to the curse of the Furbolgs, and have started rallying many of them to their cause, and in the midst of the confusion, has taken advantage of a mishap of the Horde to sway the Timbermaw into the Alliance.

Classes - Mage, Priest, Monk, Rogue, Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warrior, Paladin, Death Knight.
Vargul (H) - After Arthas first became the Lich King, he ordered the Crypt Lord Tuten'arak to find a lost island that was to have been the burial place for many Vrykul. Tuten'arak, a small group of necromancers, and a hand of undead nerubians arrived on the island only to be frozen by Vrykul traps, and locked in that moment, until now. After the fall of the Legion, Sylvannas learned of this place, and went hunting for it. When her henchmen arrived they found the the Cult of the Damned had also recently discovered the place but had not been able to enter, however Nanthos found a hidden way in, and when he freed Tuten'arak from his icy prison then Crypt Lord vowed that he, and the undead army that he had come to claim, would follow this "Banshee Queen" to the gates of hell, for saving them, and keeping them out of the grasp of a New Scourge.
Classes - Mage, Priest, Rogue, Hunter, Shaman, Warrior, Death Knight.
Furbolgs (A) - After a large group of Timbermaw were attack by a Horde raiding party, who had thought them apart of the Alliance's new found furbolg forces, they were quickly swayed into joining the Alliance, and have sense acted quickly to free as many furbolg from the curse as possible and rally them to into the Alliance.
