It begins when Tyrande Whisperwind and Shandris Feathermoon are watching Duke Lionheart break up a squabble between an Orc Grunt and a Human Footman. Duke Lionheart explains that they must cooperate because of the Human-Orc Alliance. Tyrande declares his presence a sacrilege to nature. Tyrande begins creating a base. Tyrande meets a Furbolg Shaman whose Tribe is migrating because of an "Evil Presence", but some of the tribe members are missing. Tyrande sucsessfully finds them all and escorts them back to their village. the shaman leaves a few Furbolgs to help the Night Elves. Tyrande soon leads her forces into battle and kills Duke Lionheart.

Soon the Burning Legion attacks, Destroying the remanants of the Human-Orc Base and killing many Night Elves. The Legion then attempts to kill Tyrande Whisperwind, who escapes with a few Night Elves.
