Kalimdor, Silithus.

This dangerous desert is connected to Feralas, to the east is Un'Goro Crater, one of Titan's ecological experimental sites in Azeroth, and to the southeast is Uldum, which has finally restored its glory due to the unremitting efforts of the Guardians.

area.

Ahn'Qiraj Fortress at the southernmost tip of Silithus is a magnificent fortress city built by the guardians around the prison of C'Thun, the Thousand-Eyed Demon.

Mortals who don't know the historical origins of this fortress - mainly the night elves who joined forces with the dragons to resolve the insect crisis in the Battle of Quicksand thousands of years ago - vividly call it "Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj" and "Temple of Ahn'Qiraj"

This fortress.

The former refers to the majestic buildings outside the fortress that have been reduced to ruins in the long river of time, while the latter refers to the main building at its core, which is the surface part of C'Thun's cage. Fanatic belief in this ancient being.

A place where the god's Qiraji people worship him.

This fortress originally had complete defense facilities. Powerful Titan creations, such as Anubis and the Tol'vir from Uldum in the east, guarded it sleeplessly.

Unfortunately, with the news of the Titan's fall, the guardians of Azeroth were collectively confused. Yogg-Saron launched an attack at the right time and disintegrated the planet's guardian system. As a result, Ahn'Qiraj Fortress became like a giant.

Like most Titan facilities, they are completely out of maintenance.

In the years that followed, C'Thun gradually spread his tentacles outside the prison, corrupting his own guardians one by one. The giant Anubis became a slave of darkness, and the powerful Tol'vir guards were also in the shadows.

Under the distortion of magic, he became a powerful "Obsidian Destroyer".

In the year 16,000 of the Black Gate Calendar, Kithix, the faceless general of Kraxis who was seriously injured by Tyr's self-destruction and slept in the Zandalari Mountains, was used by a bewitched Zandalari troll priest to use Xal'atath.

·The Blade of the Dark Empire awakened and summoned the remaining Aqirs in the world, trying to start an unparalleled war and pave the way for the return of the masters.

However, the Aqir were ultimately unable to defeat the troll race that was at its peak at that time, and were defeated by the trolls who united to form the Zul Empire.

Attracted by C'Thun, some Aqir fled into Silithus and hid in the Ahn'Qiraj fortress that had been successfully corrupted by C'Thun.

After thousands of years, under the influence of C'Thun, these aqir evolved into more intelligent Qiraji, renovated the fortress, expanded the ruins, and finally built this former Titan fortress city into a

The stronghold of the dark forces.

And this desert was not originally a desert.

Black Gate Calendar - 12200, the war between the Hundred Kings of the Mogu was ended, the major Mogu tribes were unified as never before, Thunder God founded the Mogu Empire, and led the army to attack Uldum. He regarded himself as the only successor of the "Holy Mission"

, tried to bring the Forge of Origin under control, but during the battle, they were killed by a shocking explosion caused by a group of loyal Tol'vir guardians who partially activated the Forge of Origin, and were turned into ashes.

That explosion turned Uldum, Silithus and Tanaris in the north into a desert. This is the origin of Silithus.

For more than 10,000 years, this land remained silent.

Until the Black Gate Calendar -975, the mainstream night elves who had forgotten the past came to this land in order to find a way to heal this land and rejuvenate it. During the process of exploring Ahn'Qiraj Fortress, they

Unintentionally awakened the Qiraji...

It also made the ancient god, who had been accumulating strength, aware of the changes in the times. He believed that it was time. Now was the best opportunity for his army to come out in full force and once again invade the world.

At that time, when Archdruid Malfurion was sleeping, Fandral Staghelm, who was in charge of the Cenarion Council, took charge of the war. In short, after experiencing the pain of losing his son and all kinds of tragic sacrifices,

This night elf elder, with the help of the dragon army, defeated and sealed the insect men behind the Beetle Wall.

Kalimdor finally ushered in a thousand-year peace. But the good times did not last long. The third war once again left the land riddled with holes.

Misfortune never comes singly. The seal of the Beetle Wall became loose due to the erosion of the dark atmosphere for thousands of years. A large number of Qiraji have left the Ahn'Qiraj fortress to build lairs in the Silithus desert and grow stronger.

C'Thun noticed the turmoil in the world, and the ancient god once again stretched out his claws against the world.

And the night elves, who had just resolved a crisis, destroyed their home, suffered heavy casualties, and were far from recovering from their grief and pain, had to prepare for war again, gather their only strength, and march towards Silithus.

But this time, they are not alone.

The new tribe formed by Thrall, which gathered orcs, tauren and trolls, also extended a helping hand to protect their common homeland. Although the three races within the alliance have not yet gained a foothold, Orgrimmar's

Still under construction, the trolls have not yet adapted to life in the Echo Islands, and the tauren have just migrated to the Mulgore Grassland to settle, but they have already dispatched most of their troops as a matter of duty.

Lady Jaina Proudmoore, Queen of Theramore, Princess of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, and disciple of Dalaran leader Antonidas, also led the army to participate in this war concerning the fate of Kalimdor.

The three parties jointly formed the Kalimdor Alliance, and the orc hero and war-hardened King Varok Saurfang served as the supreme commander of the alliance.

In addition, the response of the dragon army was far faster than a thousand years ago. Teleportation magic arrays that went straight to the dragon territory sent dragons and dragon beast troops that were enough to level the entire continent.

The most unexpected thing is that the help they received was far more than that. When the Titan army came from the Uldum area, when a huge floating city broke away from the light of teleportation magic and floated over Silithus.

At that time, everyone was shocked.

…

On the watchtower of the temporary camp, Jaina was leaning on her staff, her magic-filled eyes flashing with azure magic light, looking into the vast desert that was twisted in the heat wave.

She is not used to the weather here.

Even though the robe has been attached with the ice branch magic of the plasticity system for cooling, the sweat still inevitably wets the underwear, making it wet and clinging to the body, which is very uncomfortable.

Silithus.

She had only learned about this inaccessible desert from Dalaran textbooks. The mages of Dalaran are experts at exploring the world. Their footprints are all over the world, from Northrend in the north to Karkar in the west.

There are very few places in Limdor that they have not been to. In terms of their macroscopic understanding of the world, the mages of Dalaran are no less than the Explorers Association of Ironforge.

But only by coming here can we truly understand the horror of this place.

The heat and heat that can kill a traveler who lacks the necessary equipment within half a day are only the easiest dangers to overcome. The truly terrifying thing is the silithid bugs, or Qiraji, that are all over the desert.

The three alien insect nests are extremely eye-catching, just like termite nests that have been magnified countless times. On top of the nests several hundred meters high, there are black ribbons that are constantly changing and floating. Only when you look carefully will you know that those ribbons are originally

It is composed of densely packed winged alien insects.

Those Twilight believers also set up camp here.

Jaina also went out of her way to learn about the origins of this cult, but even the MI7 of the Kingdom of Storm, which was the most well-informed among the Eastern Continent countries, did not know the details of the Twilight Hammer. She only knew that their internal members came from multiple races.

, there are orcs, humans, dwarves, gnomes, high elves, gentle tauren, goblins, and trolls, who believe in and are loyal to the most evil existence in the world.
