A Vulnerable Azeroth - Overview

''“Four times. Four times we have invaded this wretched planet and four times we have failed. Azeroth has truly impressive heroes defending it. The Guardian, the Prophet, the Betrayer. Yet they alone are not the reason we keep losing. We are led by incompetence. Both ‘converts’ were elevated to lead, likely because Sargeras himself was a convert. If I had led the Legion, Azeroth would have been ours after the first invasion. Instead, we have wasted enough time that the heroes have been able to actually strike back!''

''I am tired of wasting time. With the Two dead, someone needs to take command. They won’t all follow me, but many will. The time is opportune. The heroes do strike back at us, but foolishly they leave Azeroth vulnerable. Their own pride will be their downfall, just as the pride of the Two were their downfall. It is time to show that Titan that he should have left the job up to a real demon. Up to someone pure instead of some convert to Fel. It is time to take command.'' ''And it won’t be to fulfill the wishes of the so-called Destroyer of Worlds. No. This time we will have a different goal. A better one.”''- Hal’desh

A Vulnerable Azeroth is a storyline based around the idea that while the heroes of Azeroth are away on Argus, there is an opportunity to strike Azeroth directly. This storyline is comprehensive and has many different types of events that are associated with it. The events will be D20 based and revolve around world conquest, comparable (a little bit) to the game of Risk. Event difficulties will be based on the strength and strategic importance of targets.

The only warning that people will have that something is wrong is when areas stop communicating, or their communication becomes odd. After a time of being conquered, communication from a town, city, or stronghold will resume. It will be as if nothing is wrong, and if people aren’t actively interacting with an area then they are likely not to notice. Once a location is secured, antagonist forces will begin subtly developing an area. Devices will be created to serve many different purposes. They will be used to spread influence, to begin reshaping the ley-lines of the world, to summon additional forces in, or worse… Much worse.
