Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos
Impressive Real Time Strategy Game Where You Build,
Attack & Destroy! It has been nearly fifteen years since
the war between the orcs and humans ended. An uneasy peace settled over
the land while, for years, the drums of war were silent. Yet the kingdoms of men
grew complacent in their victory - and slowly, the defeated orcish clans
regrouped under the banner of a new visionary leader. The savage,
green-skinned Orcs are one of the most prolific races of the Warcraft world.
Although few are aware of it, the Orcs once cultivated a noble, Shamanistic
society on the world of Draenor. Relatively speaking, Humanity is one of the
world's youngest races. Unlike Elves and Dwarves, Humans live brief lives full
of change and strife.
Now a darker shadow has fallen over the world, threatening to extinguish all
life - all hope. The drums of war play upon the winds once again - rising
urgently towards the inevitable hour when the skies will rain fire - and the
world will tremble before the coming of the Burning Legion.
The Day of Judgment has come...
Four unique races ... Armed with distinctive units,
magical abilities, and weapons of war.
Human Alliance Race
Relatively speaking, Humanity is one of the youngest races of the world. Unlike
Elves and Dwarves, Humans live brief lives full of change and strife. Thus,
Humanity pushes itself to achieve great heights in empire-building, technology,
and magical study. It is for this reason that Human kingdoms have expanded so
drastically in such short periods of time. Overall, Humanity values virtue and
honor and seeks only to safeguard itself against the forces of darkness. Aided
by the Holy Light, Humanity has fought the hardest and suffered the most during
the war against the Orcish Hordes.
Orcish Horde Race
The savage, green-skinned Orcs are one of the most prolific races of the
Warcraft world. Born on the hellish world of Draenor, the Orcs were brought into
the kingdom of Azeroth through the dimensional gateway known as the Dark Portal
and forced to make war upon the Humans. The Orcs are typically believed to be
brutal and mindless, possessing no humanity or empathy for other races. Although
few are aware of it, the Orcs once cultivated a noble, Shamanistic society on
the world of Draenor. Yet the proud Orc clans were corrupted by the Burning
Legion and used as pawns in the Legion's invasion of Azeroth. In recent years
the Orcs have begun to release themselves from the Demons' corruption, and
rekindle their ancient, noble traditions.
Night Elf Sentinels Race
The reclusive Night Elves were the first race to awaken in the World of
Warcraft. These shadowy, immortal beings were the first to study magic and let
it loose throughout the world nearly ten thousand years before Warcraft I. The
Night Elves' reckless use of magic drew the Burning Legion into the world and
led to a catastrophic war between the two titanic races. The Night Elves barely
managed to banish the Legion from the world, but their wondrous homeland was
shattered and drowned by the sea. Ever since, the Night Elves refused to use
magic for fear that the dreaded Legion would return. The Night Elves closed
themselves off from the rest of the world and remained hidden atop their holy
mountain of Hyjal for many thousands of years. As a race, Night Elves are
typically honorable and just, but they are very distrusting of the 'lesser
races' of the world. They are nocturnal by nature and their shadowy powers often
elicit the same distrust that they have for their mortal neighbors. Two
nations of warriors new to the Warcraft Universe; the plague-ridden Undead and
the mysterious Night Elves.
Undead Scourge Race
The horrifying Undead army called the Scourge consists of thousands of walking
corpses, disembodied spirits, damned mortal men and insidious extra-dimensional
entities. The Scourge was created by the Burning Legion for the sole purpose of
sewing terror across the world in anticipation of the Legion's inevitable
invasion. The Undead are ruled by Ner'zhul, the Lich King, who lords over the
icy realm of Northrend from his frozen throne. Ner'zhul commands the terrible
plague of undeath which he sends ever southward into the human lands. As the
plague encroaches on the southlands, more and more humans fall prey to
Ner'zhul's mental control and life-draining sickness every day. In this way,
Ner'zhul has swelled the ranks of the already considerable Scourge. Though
Ner'zhul and his Undead Scourge are bound to the will of the Burning Legion, the
Lich King constantly strives to free himself and gain vengeance upon the demons
for damning him so completely.
Features:

Scourge that has come from the frozen wastelands of the North to topple
civilization in its darkest hour.

Warcraft III: Frozen Throne Expansion Set
Many months have passed since Archimonde and the Burning Legion were defeated at
the Battle of Mount Hyjal…
The stalwart night elves, led by the Arch Druid, Furion Stormrage and the
Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind, have vanished back into the shadows of Ashenvale
Forest - intent to heal the ancient lands that were scarred by the Legion’s
vile corruption.
The battle-weary orcish Horde, led by the idealistic Warchief, Thrall, has
settled in the harsh, eastern hills of the Kalimdor Barrens. Finally able to
claim a homeland of their own, the orcs work tirelessly to found and protect
their new nation of Durotar. The human survivors of Lordaeron, under the
command of the Sorceress, Jaina Proudmoore, have also settled along the eastern
coast of the Barrens. The island citadel of Theramore was erected to safeguard
the last, rag-tag remnants of the failing human Alliance.
…And Arthas, the newly crowned King of Lordaeron, has driven the undead
Scourge to eradicate the last vestiges of resistance to his iron rule. His
kingdom - the once proud bastion of human might and nobility - has become a
plagued realm of death and sorrow. Now, driven by haunting visions of the Frozen
Throne of Icecrown, Arthas plans to tighten his grip over the rest of the world.
