For Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition

The Drums of War, Thunder Once Again

Four years after the Battle of Mount Hyjal, tensions between the Alliance and the Horde begin to arise once
again.
Intent on settling the arid region of Durotar, Thrall's new Horde expanded its ranks, inviting the
undead Forsaken to join Orcs, Tauren, and Trolls.
Meanwhile, Dwarves, Gnomes and the ancient Night Elves pledged their loyalties to a reinvigorated Alliance,
guided by the human kingdom of Stormwind.

The Faction War

The world of Azeroth is being split in two, because of this you must pick a side, all of the party must be playing
races of the same faction.

Ability Score Generation

Each ability score starts at 10, representing the average, but as you make character choices, you’ll adjust these
scores by applying ability boosts, which increase a score, and ability flaws, which decrease a score. As you build
your character, remember to apply ability score adjustments when making the following decisions.
Race: Each race provides ability boosts, and sometimes an ability flaw.
Background: Your character’s background provides two ability boosts.
Class: Your character’s class provides an ability boost to the ability score most important to your class
Determine Scores: After the other steps, you apply four more ability boosts of your choice (Each must be on a
separate stat. Then, determine your ability modifiers based on those scores
Ability Boosts & Flaws: An Boost or a Flaw either increases or decreases the ability score by 2. However, if an
ability score your boosting is already 18 or higher its value only increases by 1
When your character receives an ability boost, the rules indicate whether it must be applied to a specific ability
score or to one of two specific ability scores, or whether it is a “free” ability boost that can be applied to any ability
score of your choice. However, when you gain multiple ability boosts at the same time, you must apply each one
to a different score. Dwarves, for example, receive an ability boost to their Strength score and their Constitution
score, as well as one free ability boost, which can be applied to any score other than Strength or Constitution.

Classic Races
The Alliance
The Alliance consists of powerful cultures and
groups bound not by desperation or necessity, but
by their deep commitments to abstract concepts
like nobility and honour.
The Alliance was once also known as the Alliance
of Lordaeron when its leadership was centered
in Lordaeron. However, the Alliance was forced to
move the bulk of its forces to Kalimdor and to the
southern Eastern Kingdoms continents of Khaz
Modan and Azeroth after the plague of undeath
ravaged the Kingdom of Lordaeron several years
ago.
Humans of Stormwind
Ten thousand years ago, the night elves founded a
vast empire, but their reckless use of primal magic

other choice, the night elves emerged at last from
their seclusion to fight for their place in the new
world.

obstacles by bonding together, fighting as family,
comrades, or even uneasy allies. In the Horde, action

leaders earn respect by the blade, wasting no time
with politics. The brutality of the Horde's champions
is focused, giving a voice to those who fight for
survival.

peaceful people with shamanic beliefs, they were

Special Archetypes
These are some class archetypes which are unique
to the lore of World of Warcraft, most of them will
have some sort of restriction to race or faction.
Shadow Hunter (Ranger)
Restriction: Darkspear Troll Race
In the old days of trolls, even before the Zandalari
Empire, the shadow hunters were the leaders of the
small tribes. Over time, as trolls gathered in great
cities, their influence was lessened. Despite this, the
position is still a highly respected one. It
was Sen'jin's (Father of current Troll Leader Vol’Jin)
dream for trollkind to once again be led by shadow
hunters, as they had in the past.
The voodoo faith of the shadow hunter deals with
beings they call the Loa. Supposedly, these spirits
are mighty entities that grant the faithful
extraordinary powers. By calling upon these voodoo
spirits, the shadow hunter gains special blessings
with which he can combat darkness and help those
in need. The abilities granted vary according to the
Loa the shadow hunter calls upon.

FORGOTTEN SHADOW
TENANTS
The three virtues of the Forgotten Shadow are death
(where death is the gateway to ascension, but must
be balanced with life), compassion (though often
reserved for other cultists, the forgotten shadow
believes that bettering the self positively influences
the universe in a positive cycle), and ascension
(where the follower of the forgotten shadow gains
the power to transcend death, becoming
invulnerable, invincible and eternal. In essence, he
becomes a god.)
REPRESENTATIVES
The cult is acknowledged only in the lands of the
Forsaken. The Cult of Forgotten Shadows (or Cult of
the Forgotten Shadow) is a group considered
heretical by most, who believe that dark energy
practitioners are just as vital to the survival of life
and reality (which they call "the Shadow") as
wielders of the Light. The cult preaches balance,
mandating that shadow priests must never forget
the dangers of falling too deep into the dark energies
they manipulate, for it is often too hard to find one's
way back to the Shadow from the deep reaches of the
darkness. Those who upset the balance end up mad,
or worse, serving the Void Lords. The Cult of
Forgotten Shadow teaches that the Forsaken of
Azeroth were too weak to ascend. Their undead
state is a curse brought on by that weakness. Once
the Forsaken learn to master themselves and control
the world around them, they shake off that curse
and become what they always should have been.
HOLY LIGHT
TENANTS
The three virtues of the Holy Light are respect
(where one must respect all that is, and the
connections things share with one another in the
universe), compassion (as a follower of the holy
light believes that bettering the universe benefits
himself in return as a positive cycle), and tenacity
(training under the Holy Light that weeds out the
unfaithful, for true dedication takes years, and
positivity prevents time eroding an adherent’s will).
In some respects, it can be described as divine
humanism.
REPRESENTATIVES
Naaru, providing healing and protection The holy
light whispers and grants power to those who
follow their ideals, regardless if they show the same
alignment as the entity itself. In a dark world with
few good forces, the holy light is one of the few
shining sources of goodness in the world, with its
representatives. The Holy Mark is an upright line
middling two half-circles one pointing up, and one
pointing down (or as the Celtic Cross without the
middle line).

The Lich King has no real tenants but idolizing him
as a paragon of mastery over death led to the
development of the priesthood of the Forgotten
Shadow. The Lich King himself desires complete
dominion over Azeroth and banishing the Burning
Legion from it. Whether the army he builds is to
stand against the Void Lords’ attempts to take over
the planet and conquer the world-spirit Azeroth for
himself is known only to him.
REPRESENTATIVES
The Scourge and the Cult of the Damned Created
initially as the precursor to an invasion by the
Burning Legion after their previous failures, the
Scourge broke free from their demonic masters and
aided in the Legion’s defeat at Mount Hyjal in the
Third War. Under the iron rule of the dread Lich
King, a being formed of Ner’zhul (the former orc
shaman and warchief of the Shadowmoon clan) and
Arthas Menethil (the former human paladin and
crown prince of Lordaeron), the Scourge built up
their power base on the Arctic continent of
Northrend. Their influence spreads throughout
Northrend, as well as the Plaguelands in northern
Lordaeron and southern Quel’Thalas, and even
Kalimdor to a small degree. A terrifying and insidious
enemy, the Scourge remains perhaps the most
dangerous threat to the world of Azeroth.
TITANS
TENANTS
The virtues of titans are order (banishing chaos and
ordering the Great Dark Beyond), compassion
(imbuing their power and protecting lesser races
until they reach their full potential), and
preservation (destroying corruptive influences such
as Old Gods, Void Lords, and demons of all kinds).
REPRESENTATIVES
The creations of the Titans are usually considered
their representatives. Although most are missing in
Azeroth, there are yet relics left from the primordial
days where Titans visited the planet. The titans are
a race of colossal, planet-sized cosmic beings,
composed of arcane magic and the primordial
matter from which the universe was born. They
roamed across the cosmos like walking worlds,
imbued with the raw power of creation itself. The
titans used this incredible force to find and awaken
others of their kind. Hailing from the far reaches of
the cosmos, they shaped and brought life and order
to countless worlds across the Great Dark Beyond.
They were described as perfect and majestic beings
who are akin to gods. Knowledge of them is very
scarce, and there are more legends and theories of
them than facts, with the only ones who have an
inkling of their powers (or even their existence) are
beings the Titans directly interacted with eons ago,
such as the leaders of the Dragon flights, the Old
Gods, and the Titans’ creations (such as the Earthen).
Unknown to most in Azeroth, the Titans are heavily
tied to the cosmic force known as the arcane. In fact,
it is their very lifeblood, for the original Well of
Eternity, an enormous lake of volatile arcane
energies, was literally the literal blood of Azeroth's
world-soul. They are also uniquely susceptible to fel
magic. A world-soul is the name given to the spirit of
a titan. The first and most vulnerable stage of a
titan's life, world-souls are powerful, nascent titan
souls who originate as masses of energy spun out
into the cosmos at the moment of its creation,
eventually finding comfort in the warmth of a sun. In
time, a planet coalesces around the newly formed
world-soul, protecting it as it grows. These nascent
titan souls exist within the fiery cores of a small
number of worlds scattered throughout the Great
Dark Beyond; there they slumber for ages, suffusing
the planets they inhabit with Spirit energy as
generations of life live and die upon them, before
eventually awakening as living worlds, and
emerging as titans. Azeroth is one such world, and
the titan within it is feared to possibly be the greatest
titan of all, should he awaken.
VOID LORDS
TENANTS
Polar opposite of the Holy Light
REPRESENTATIVES
The Old Gods and their servants the void lords are
monstrous entities composed of pure shadow
energy who dwell within the Void, a terrifying and
nightmarish outer realm. Merciless and cruel
beyond imagination, they seek only to twist reality
into a realm of eternal torment, and ultimately to
devour all matter and energy and the universe itself.
However, only the most powerful of the void lords
can actually manifest in the physical universe, and
only for limited amounts of time for their energies
quickly seep into nothingness. They thus must
consume untold amounts of matter and energy to
maintain their presence.in their struggle to impose
dominion over reality, they conflicted with the
Titans, and, lacking the power to subdue or
dominate them, have targeted them in their infancy,
corrupting still-sleeping World-souls. Void Lords
send seeds of corruption and create servitor beings
in other realms, creating the Old Gods, monstrous
beings of ancient power that spread across a World-
soul’s surface, eventually corrupting the Titan
sleeping within into rising as a Dark Titan who
serves the Void Lords. The Void Lords are a font of
shadow power, being what could be considered the
true embodiment of the Forgotten Shadow’s ideals.
However, that is not the only interpretation.
Followers of the Forgotten Shadow may wish to
struggle against the wills of the Void Lords and the
Old Gods, just as the practitioners of fel magic may
struggle against the influence of the Burning Legion.
Perhaps, when all is said and done, the Forgotten
Shadow is able to distance itself as a philosophy
from its origin as an expression of the Void Lords’
will.
VOODOO AND THE LOA
TENANTS
Voodoo is a type of nature worship, where sacrifices
and cannibalism intertwine. It is a type of dark magic
that keeps high reverence for nature and its wilds
such as animals. While the practice can be
dangerous, it is known to greatly benefit its
practitioners. Trolls specifically, have always been
followers of this ancient craft. Those trolls who
practice the voodoo magics hold it to high regard and
are a very important part of troll society. While it is
a form of magic, it is only an extension of its masters,
the Loa spirit
REPRESENTATIVES
Shadow Hunters, Troll High Priests (discipline
priests), and Witch Doctors Voodoo and Loa worship
is a syncretic faith, mixing elements of Druidism
(following the Wild Gods, except Elune) and
Ancestor Worship (venerating ancestors who are
now immortal in the Shadowlands, such as
Bwonsamdi and Lukou). Followers of the Loa and
users of voodoo worship the Wild Gods directly,
except Elune, instead admiring the savagery and
viciousness of the ancient beings. All Wild gods are
Loa, but not all Loa are Wild gods, however, as the
Loa spirits such as Bwonsamdi and other various
Loa resembling spirits of trolls have no connection
to the Wild gods or the Emerald Dream. They are in
fact, ancient and powerful troll ancestors that now
live in the Shadow Lands. Not all trolls that die
become Loa. What makes a troll spirit a loa is a
mystery, though it is speculated that it has some
thing to do with the amount and type of magics they
acquired during life. There are several known Loa,
including but not limited to the following

• Hakkar the Blood God

• Shirvallah, the Tiger.

• Rhunok, the Arctic Bear.

• Lukou, Loa of Healing and Respite.

• Ogoun,

• Loa of War

• Dambala, Loa of serpents and treachery.

• Bwonsamdi, Loa of the cemeteries and the

restful sleep of the dead.

• Shango, Controller of the Realm of Storms.

• Zanza, worshiped by the Zandalar Tribe.

• Gonk the Great Hunter is an ancient spirit
