![]() The invasions themselves featured the arrival of Legion forces, with each invasion split into three stages. The final week culminated with a constant Legion invasion across every invasion zone. The second week had three invasions every two hours. The first week had two zones under invasion every four hours. The invasions began in the more remote zones, such as Tanaris, and drastically ramped up from there each week. The event saw invasions in six separate locations, split between Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. The event ended with the release of Legion on August 30. The start of the event also coincided with the release of a related questline to the Battle for the Broken Shore. Playing on other events like the pre- Naxxramas Scourge Invasion and pre- Wrath of the Lich King Zombie Infestation, the Burning Legion invaded Azeroth before the launch of the expansion starting on August 9, rewarding players that stood against them with unique armor appearances, weapons, toys, and pets. ![]() The Legion Invasions or Demon Invasions were the pre- Legion launch event. The subject of this article or section was part of Legion Invasions, a world event that heralded the beginning of the Burning Legion's third invasion of Azeroth prior to Legion. Orgrimmar and Talrendis forces at Mountainfoot Strip Mine.They fell upon him, detonating in a massive explosion that destroyed the demon warlock and incinerated the forests around the World Tree nature herself would not allow his defilement to occur.For the similar style of event that takes place on the Broken Isles, see Legion Assaults. They rose from the forest and amassed around Archimonde. Archimonde did not think that the gathering wisps were of threat to him or the Legion.Īs Archimonde climbed, Malfurion raised the Horn of Cenarius and called to the ancestral guardians. It was not someone who could destroy him, but rather many. He calculated no one in the world at the time had the power to stop him. He grew in size as he climbed, determined to destroy the World Tree. The bases, consisting of the humans, orcs and night elves, did slow his ascent - however, his cunning mind and monumental power enabled the Legion to defeat the bases very quickly, going up against Jaina Proudmoore and Thrall, until he reached the night elves' base which he destroyed easily with a wave of his hand. Archimonde's ascent up Mount Hyjal was agonizingly slow, being forced to destroy every successive base with the help of Azgalor (Mannoroth's successor as leader of the pit lords), the lich Rage Winterchill, and Anetheron. But Tyrande and Malfurion had allied with Thrall and Jaina Proudmoore, as well as the Shadowtooth dark trolls and the Barkskin furbolgs. By draining the Tree's energies, not only would Archimonde gain untold power, his demonic Legion will also be able to drain the night elves of their source of power and immortality. The mighty demonlord carried out the invasion to attack the World Tree, Nordrassil. The loss of Mannoroth allowed a large portion of the orcs to turn against the Legion.Īrchimonde then proceeded with the original objective of the invasion. He spent some time helping manipulate the orc forces corrupted by the blood of Mannoroth around Ashenvale forest, but suffered some setbacks such as losing Mannoroth and Tichondrius while heading to Mount Hyjal, location of Nordrassil. ![]() He personally destroyed Dalaran and then moved his fight to Kalimdor with the ultimate goal of destroying the elven World Tree, Nordrassil. ![]() After his return to Azeroth, Archimonde gave leadership of the Scourge to his demon lord lieutenant, Tichondrius, who battled the remaining forces of elves and humans in northern Eastern Kingdoms around the kingdom of Lordaeron and the elven domain of Silvermoon. Unfortunately, his great powers made his summoning difficult, but eventually through stealing an artifact of Medivh, the lich Kel'Thuzad found a way. One of the most powerful these forces attempted to summon was Archimonde, also known as "The Defiler". In the leadup to the second invasion, demon lords of the Burning Legion were summoned to Azeroth by those who would sow chaos, conflict, and destruction to further their own ascendance. ![]()
