The Alliance regrouped inside the city, with Jaina holding back Horde reinforcements with a magical ice barrier and Genn guarding the rear flank. Jaina neutralized the blight and the undead with her frost magic, then destroyed a section of the Keep's walls with the ship's cannons. Although it managed to break the Alliance ranks, this honorless tactic has distressed Saurfang.Īs the Alliance fell back, the battle seemed lost until Jaina Proudmoore arrived on a magical flying Kul Tiran flagship. After the war machine was brought down by Alliance forces, Sylvanas reacted by blighting the battlefield, killing both Alliance and Horde soldiers, and then she raised the casualties as undead. After the dome ceased, he rallied his reinvigorated forces and told his men to stand united for the Alliance, with both Horde and Alliance forces charging toward each other and resuming the battle.Īfter the Alliance pushed the Horde back out of the battlefield in front of Lordaeron Keep, Sylvanas called out an Azerite war machine which proceeded to destroy the siege towers.

Dropping his father's sword, King Wrynn then conjured a massive dome of light to heal his forces and to keep the Horde at bay. After fending off a troll warrior who tried to attack him while he was down, Anduin looked around himself and saw his army wavering. Anduin ordered his forces to push forward and personally killed several Horde warriors until he was knocked down by a blow from Varok Saurfang, whom Genn swatted aside before trying to help Anduin and being incapacitated by a troll shaman. The battle was turning in the Alliance's favor until Warchief Sylvanas launched a devastating counter-attack on an Alliance siege tower, which rallied the Horde in driving back the Alliance. The Alliance forces managed to corner the Horde in Capital City, which they began to besiege. The defense above was led by Varok Saurfang, Baine Bloodhoof, and Lor'themar Theron. The Horde evacuated the civilians of the Undercity and dealt with the infiltrating SI:7 and Druids of the Claw, although not before Renzik 'The Shiv' escaped with the intel he needed. The battle began with the Alliance forces led by Anduin Wrynn and Genn Greymane arriving with the Third Fleet to Tirisfal Glades from the north, and coming all the way to the south to raze Brill. The Alliance gathered their forces, aiming to strike back, and marched onwards to Lordaeron Keep.īefore the battle, Undercity's population had already been moved to Orgrimmar through mage portals. After the invasion of Darkshore, the World Tree Teldrassil, home of the night elves, was burned down on Sylvanas Windrunner's orders. The discovery of Azerite ignited the flames of war, with the Horde taking the opportunity to preemptively strike at the Alliance. Since the fall of the Burning Legion, tensions kept rising between the Alliance and the Horde. The result of the Burning of Teldrassil, it marks the beginning of Battle for Azeroth, similarly to Legion's Battle for the Broken Shore.
