or just a time travel. Once we leave shadowlands in next exp. we find ourselves in a different time.
We hear about wars, distasters and invasions that has happend during our absence.
The world has been conquered a dozen times by a dozen diffrent factions, light, void, elemental, demons, hostile etheral..., even damn titanic factions of order.
We see leftovers of cataclysmic battles from long ago, with new vistas, new zones new conflicts new unregonizable factions, new... everything
Nothing is recognizable and wer not even sure if we are on azeroth to begin with. Nothing remains of the old world to recognize us.
And thats how we start from scratch, nobodies in a new world. Time to carve a bloody path to fame and fortune my fellow mercenaries!
