In the single-player campaign, players revisit the war-torn world of Azeroth. The Frozen Throne provides gamers with a vast new chapter in the epic Warcraft saga. The drums of war play upon the winds once again - rising urgently towards the inevitable hour when the skies will rain fire - and the world will tremble before the coming of the Burning Legion. Now a darker shadow has fallen over the world, threatening to extinguish all life - all hope.

An uneasy peace settled over the land while, for years, the drums of war were silent. It has been nearly fifteen years since the war between the orcs and humans ended.
