The armies of the Horde and the Alliance in the Korean World of Warcraft closed beta test gathered for war on the sands of Tanaris. In a mighty clash involving myriad players on each side, the factions battled. The Alliance fought bravely but was no match for the fearsome might of the Horde. Badly beaten, the Alliance slinked away from Tanaris and inevitable doom.

But for the Horde, a small taste of victory wasnt nearly enough. The Horde raiders mounted up and proceeded through the Shimmering Flats, Thousand Needles, and Dustwallow Marsh to their next objective: Theramore Isle, home of Jaina Proudmoore. They met with only paltry resistance from the guards and rampaged through the gates. They left no home unpillaged, no outpost untouched. The defenders were no match for the raid party and even legendary Proudmoore fell to their might.

Their terrible desires sated, the Horde invaders hurled one final insult at the Alliance by gathering on the ship to Menethil Harbor. Then one by one, they returned to their places of origin, knowing on that day that the Horde ruled supreme.

Hillsbrad Foothills is often a scene of intense combat, just like Booty Bay. Last Thursday there was a continuous battle between the Horde and Alliance factions that included many level 50 players and lasted over 5 hours!

Tuesday night there was a massive Horde raid of South Shore. The Horde invaders held South Shore for a very long time and continued to fight off Alliance attempts to save the town. Eventually the Alliance was able to muster enough people for a successful counterattack. The makeshift Alliance army gathered at the South Shore docks to buff up. They then charged into the town and drove the Horde out. Bolstered by their victory, the Alliance forces rode after the fleeing Horde and attempted a push into Tarren Mill, but the Horde army regrouped to save the town and stopped the Alliance counterattack.

The tide turned once again as the Horde pushed back into South Shore and regained control of the town for over 30 minutes. The Alliance retreated all the way to Azureload mine to form a defensive army. Once formed, they charged back into the town. Fighting continued for a while until the Alliance regained control of South Shore. The Alliance then marched on Tarren Mill and managed to take control of it. The battle raged on for several hours after that, late into the night. Here are a couple of screenshots...

Faced with the daunting task of eliminating Horde forces in the heart of Silverpine, an army of Alliance men and women formed ranks in Menethil Harbor. From there, they begin their arduous trek, as they marched through the Hillsbrad Foothills where even the rumbling giant Fozruk wandered over to pay his respects to the passing army.

As the Alliance troops moved into the depths of Silverpine Forest, a lone Undead scout was able to spot the approaching forces from afar. Realizing the danger, she hastily sprinted back to The Sepulcher and raised the alarm, warning her brethren of the oncoming assault. Sounds of battle were soon heard echoing across the backdrop of The Sepulchers graveyard as Alliance and Horde forces clashed, unleashing their raw and unbridled fury upon one another.

Horde soldiers quickly drew up a line of defense upon the forest grounds, challenging the Alliance soldiers to cross and meet their fates. The line proved to be sound as the Alliance assault was slowly driven back by the minions of the Horde, forcing the Alliance combatants to retreat east of The Sepulcher in the hopes of reaffirming their resolve and regrouping to turn the tide of battle. However, the Horde forces completely routed the remnants of the ragtag army as they rapidly located the cells recuperating in the area and overwhelmed them with their superior numbers and more experienced soldiers.

Alliance forces fought valiantly in what ultimately became a battle that the Horde was destined to win. Fate met completion that day, but the struggle for Azeroth continues to rage on with every passing hour

War erupted last night in the former kingdom of Lordaeron, with members of the Alliance staging one of the first attacks on the Horde city of Brill. The Horde repelled this attack, however, driving the Alliance back to Thelsamar, where the soldiers of the Alliance held the besieged city, defending the region of Dun Morogh from certain attack. Many valiant Horde and Alliance soldiers perished in battle last night in what is surely a prelude to the greatest war of our time.
