Long ago there was peace.  The nations were happy
with each other, there was no war.  Then the orcish
Hordes came into Azeroth.  The Azerothiens rushed
to the defense of their country.
     Thus began the First War...

However hard they tried the people of Azeroth
could not stand alone against the might of
the Horde, and they were forced to retreat.
Lothar led the landless people of Azeroth to
Lordaeron after the Orcish Hordes had decimated
their homeland.  King Terenas of Lordaeron 
granted the Azerothiens land so they could 
start a new life of war, fighting the Horde.
     Thus began the Second War...

This time the humans were ready.  They had
formed a mighty group to fight, called the
Alliance.  Some nations refused to join, but
it was still the greatest force known to 
mankind.  This force fought hard, and pushed 
the foul Orcish Horde back to their homeland.
But the rift was still preasant, and it must 
be entered by the Alliance's best, and the
orcs must be destroyed forever.
     Thus began the Third War...
