eep within the Caverns of Time, the brooding dragon Nozdormu has awakened.

Since the world was young, the bronze dragonflight has safeguarded the winding labyrinth, monitoring the shifting timeways to ensure that the delicate balance of time is upheld.

But now the ancient Dragon Aspect Nozdormu has been roused by an elusive threat to his beloved caverns: dark, sinister agents have infiltrated the timeways, embarking on shadowy missions to alter the course of the past, present and future.

As a result, the bronze dragonflight has begun enlisting heroes to prevent the fabric of history from unraveling forever. For the first time, adventurers will enter the domain of the Timeless One, where they will undertake missions to prevent the sabotage of three key historical events:

Young Thrall's escape from Durnholde Keep, the first step on the path to his ascension as the greatest warchief the orcs have ever known...

The momentous Battle of Mount Hyjal, where Jaina, Thrall, Tyrande, and Malfurion succeeded in turning the tide against the dreaded demon, Archimonde...

And the opening of the original Dark Portal by the crazed wizard Medivh – an action that ushered in the First War and introduced the mighty orcs to the world of Azeroth.

Note: A representative of the Keepers of Time has been spotted at the World's End Tavern in Shattrath. Players in good standing with the faction will be granted ease of passage to the Caverns of Time. There is also a portal in Dalaran to Caverns of Time.

The Culling of Stratholme

Within the labyrinthine corridors of the Caverns of Time, mortal perceptions of good and evil have little influence. Whatever the consequences of Azeroth's past events, Nozdormu and his bronze dragonflight maintain that what was, must always be.

However, the infinite dragons do not share the same principles of balance and preservation. Hoping to sabotage the past, present, and future, these reckless dragons and their agents have launched assaults on Azeroth's timeways. One of their most insidious attacks targets Arthas and a grisly act that led the former prince of Lordaeron on his path to betray humanity.

Prior to merging with the Lich King, the prince waged war against the Scourge, intent on eradicating the plague of undeath that was ravaging Lordaeron. Desperately fighting the plague's spread, Arthas watched villages succumb to darkness and saw his fallen subjects transformed into hideous undead creatures.

Fear and anger engulfed the prince's mind. Upon discovering signs of the plague within Stratholme, Arthas knew it was only a matter of time before the residents of the city were reborn as Scourge agents. He decided that there was only one course of action: purge the city. Many allies turned their backs on the prince, distancing themselves from the drastic undertaking, but others remained loyal to Arthas and aided him as he unleashed his hatred of the Scourge upon the people of Stratholme.

Yet within the Caverns of Time, deceptive magic now permeates the city, subtly disguising evidence of the plague that once influenced Arthas' fateful decision. Even the powerful dreadlord Mal'Ganis, lurking within the walls of Stratholme, might be unaware of the infinite dragons' cunning efforts to avert the prince's attention.

The bronze dragonflight now asks any mortals who fathom the disastrous impact of the temporal disruption to assist Arthas and ensure that the culling is carried out with success. If the infinite dragons' initial efforts to deceive the prince are thwarted, the keepers of time fear that more overt, violent measures might be taken.

Hidden amidst the undead minions ravaging the city, powerful warriors of the infinite dragons await Arthas, bent on ending the prince's maddened quest. They will stop at nothing to alter the course of history, even if it means striking Arthas down. If the sinister infinite dragons complete their mission, and the prince of Lordaeron strays from his terrible destiny, then the timeways -- the very fabric of the universe -- may unravel at the seams.
