Warlords of Draenor sets you on a path into a brave and savage new world. It's a chance to take hold of your heroes' destiny and shape the of the past – and it all starts in a very dangerous place. Long before the planet was ripped apart and became Outland, Draenor was home to brutish clans of orcs who went to war across a treacherous landscape.
:In primordial Tanaan, even the plants have teeth. Darkling fronds stab out at unlucky wanderers, or conceal canyons that plunge miles deep beneath the canopy - and these are far from the jungle's worst dangers. Each day, warlords fell even wider stretches of Tanaan's wilderness, striving to finally rend the gates of space and time for conquest unending.
Your first steps into Draenor will be within the wilds of Tanaan Jungle, where the Iron Horde has staged their assault on Azeroth. With these new attacks, you'll be charged with leading the greatest heroes of this age in the counterstrike. This is an invasion that can't be ignored and the Horde and the Alliance are both set on taking the offensive before it's too late.
Your journey's beginning in Tanaan Jungle is sure to present challenges – many of which have very sharp teeth – but it's also where you'll be introduced to some of the greatest orc warlords and heroes of all time. Unfortunately, the orc leaders of storied clans such as of , of , and of the aren't going to be happy to see you. They won't welcome you with anything other than unbridled savagery. You really shouldn't expect anything to be on your side in this jungle.
Shutting down the is your first priority, but the mission may quickly go awry. Even if you do manage to seal the portal, your party will still be trapped in the middle of a hostile army. Your only option is to fight your way out! You might even be forced to accept the help of the infamous . Fortunately, you'll also have luminaries such as Thrall, Khadgar, and Vindicator Maraad by your side. You'll also meet some new heroes who will take up arms for you: the brutal Frostwolf warrior , and a promising young draenei acolyte named Yrel.
For those newly boosted to level 90 in Warlords of Draenor your experience in Tanaan Jungle will gradually introduce you to your new class abilities and mechanics. You'll still be able to join your friends in this new adventure while becoming acquainted with your new hero and taking on greater challenges and gaining greater rewards.
Your initial time in Tanaan Jungle will have an impact on your journey further into Draenor, and your first foray into its depths will be the jumpstart to your many adventures to come. While your time surviving the travails of this first adventure will be fast and a bit furious, never fear, this won't be the last you'll see of this terribly savage place.
Blood and thunder await you!
