Since the apparent death of Sargeras, he has become the Master of the Burning Legion - and now seeks vengeance for the setbacks caused by the mortal races of Azeroth.
First in the ranks of the Eredar, the demon lord Kil’jaeden is as vile as he is powerful. Selected twenty-five thousand years ago as a champion and chief liuetenant of Sargeras, ranking above even the now-dead demonlord, Archimonde, Kil'jaeden enslaved the Dreadlords to his will, and their leader, Tichondrius, vowed to follow Kil'jaeden's dark agenda of assimilating every race possible into the folds of the Burning Legion. The Legion's maleficence swallowed world after world, leaving nothing but fire and destruction in their wake. While Archimonde led the Legion's armies, their sheer size and vast potential for destruction can only be attributed to Kil'jaeden having done his job well.
Whether or not his powers match those of Archimonde, Kil'jaeden is undoubtedly the most intelligent and cunning of the Eredar. The ability of the mind far surpasses that of physical ability, and this is shown very much within the ranks of the Eredar, as even the mighty Archimonde himself followed Kil'jaeden's orders.

Also supporting its intended design as a high-level raid instance is the fact that the only currently known entrance to Hyjal is a green raid portal located at the end of a long trek through Darkwhisper Gorge in Winterspring, which is currently the highest-level non-instanced area in the game. Within Hyjal, there is another raid portal, in a cave similar to Onyxia's, which some believe is going to be an encounter with the great dragon Deathwing or which may lead into the Barrow Deeps.
There is a glitch that allows a hunter to use Eyes of the Beast to enter the cave. At this time, the cave is identical to Onyxia's. (Tested in 1.12)
Mages are also able to enter the cave's portal by using Blink. (Not yet tested in 1.12)
This wasnt much of a lore awnser, as Im not sure exactly what the instance will be. When we know, I will have more background information.

Although, his plan failed due to the fact that the Dragon Aspects didn't bless the tree.
The Circle of Ancients and powerful druids combined their powers to grow an immense tree in the Veiled Sea. They called the tree Teldrassil, meaning "Crown of the Earth" in their native tongue. The night elves made their new home in the boughs of Teldrassil, creating a forest of mighty trees and flowing rivers, bathed in the endless night that fell over the lands of the elves from the dawn of time.

Originally Posted by relz history on the place where the undead are from (lordaeron of w/e) i want the history of it and the people that were originally there, not the undead. | Lordaeron
City-state of Arathor
Lordaeron was settled by the lords of Strom, capital of the nation of Arathor, desirous of the verdant lands to the north. The capital city served as a spiritual destination for the citizens of the seven human kingdoms.
The Alliance of Lordaeron
Following the opening of the Dark Portal, the nations of Azeroth and Khaz Modan were conquered by the Horde. The refugees from Azeroth, led by Lord Anduin Lothar, fled across the sea to Lordaeron. There, Lothar convinced the leaders of the human nations, as well as the dwarves of Ironforge, gnomes of Gnomeregan, and high elves of Quel'Thalas, to join forces in the Alliance of Lordaeron.
Under the leadership of King Terenas Menethil II and Lord Lothar, the Alliance was victorious, pushing the Horde back to the Dark Portal, and destroying the gateway to the orcs' homeworld. Lothar fell in the assault on Blackrock Spire, and with the loss of his political skill, rifts developed between the Alliance nations. The main issue of dispute was a tax levied by King Terenas to finance the internment of the orcs. Though Lordaeron attempted to retain its central role, several nations pulled their support from the Alliance.
The Scourge of Lordaeron
Following years of debate over the internment of the orcs, a plague appeared in the north of Lordaeron. As it spread throughout the towns and cities of Lordaeron, one after another fell to the Scourge: Andorhal, and Stratholme. Finally, with the corruption of the heir to the throne of Lordaeron, Prince Arthas Menethil, the capital city itself succumbed. In an ironic twist of fate, it was Lordaeron that lay in ruins, with refugees streaming to Khaz Modan and Azeroth.
Arthas briefly assumed the title of King, and ruled as an agent of the Scourge, before the eruption of a civil war between his forces, the remaining dreadlords, and the free undead led by Sylvanas Windrunner. Windrunner's forces, the Forsaken, achieved a victory over the dreadlords and Scourge, claiming the ruined former capital of Lordaeron (the "Ruins of Lordaeron"), under which they constructed the Undercity.
Lordaeronian Territories
The kingdom of Lordaeron consisted of The Eastern Plaguelands, the Western Plaguelands, the Tirisfal Glades, the Hillsbrad Foothills, most of Silverpine Forest, and part of the Alterac Mountains (Chillwind Point, and the town of Strahnbrad). Also consider North Lordaeron, which is as of now a Closed Zone.
Modern Lordaeron
Of the original cities and towns of Lordaeron, only Southshore and the townships of Hillsbrad Fields and Pyrewood Village remain under the control of humans loyal to the Alliance.
The Forsaken exert control over the ruined capital city, Deathknell, Brill, Tarren Mill, and The Sepulcher.
The majority of Lordaeron's former territory is now the Plaguelands. The cities of Stratholme and Andorhal are dominated by the Scourge forces. Pockets of resistance are held by the Scarlet Crusade, including Tyr's Hand and Hearthglen. The Argent Dawn also maintains a small presence. |

(Seeing as i'm on the server, I should know the history) | Khaz Modan is the Dwarven and Gnomish homeland. It is located in the north of the continent of Azeroth, and consists of the wintry peaks of Dun Morogh, the forested highlands of Loch Modan and the endless marshes of the Wetlands. It was invaded by the Horde during the Second War, though the Dwarven capital of Ironforge and the capital of the Gnomes, Gnomeregan, remained unbreached. Recently, an invasion of murderous Troggs from the Uldaman excavation destroyed Gnomeregan, forcing the Gnomes to seek the aid of their Dwarven cousins.
Khaz Modan is inhabited by a variety of creatures, from Murlocs and Orcs in the Wetlands to Troggs and Ice Trolls in the southern mountains. More questions. Go!

not really a lore question as it is a question about WC III. why did the NEs call malfurion "Furion" in that game, and why is he now called MALfurion?
EDIT: oh, and what caused the nighmare in the emerald dream?
EDIT2: btw, thanks man, lol. +rep
