THE BATTLE RAGES ON
Tides of War marks the beginning of a dark era in Azeroth’s history. Worldwide conflict between the Horde and the Alliance threatens to destroy what little stability remains. Having just recovered from the Cataclysm, does either faction possess the strength and resolve to survive more turmoil? The answer may be on Pandaria, a mysterious island shrouded in mist for thousands of years… until now.
In World of Warcraft’s fourth expansion, Mists of Pandaria, you can be one of the first Horde or Alliance heroes to forge into the heart of this exotic region, gathering new allies and battling ferocious enemies. You can also play as a noble pandaren (WoW’s latest race) and join the Horde or the Alliance, depending on which faction aligns more with your ideals. Regardless of the side you choose, your adventures will have impact on Azeroth’s destiny. Ancient evils are on the rise across the enchanted isle of Pandaria, threatening to engulf the world in darkness unless you stop them.
