The Shattered Sanctums

Background
The sanctums of Wyrmrest Temple were once hallowed ground of the five dragonflights, until they were destroyed in the Cataclysm by agents of the Twilight's Hammer. Hidden within mystical pocket dimensions, the sanctums held clutches of precious eggs from each of the five flights, all of which were consumed when sabotage caused the dimensions to collapse. In the aftermath of the destruction of these pocket dimensions, a rift of arcane energies formed within the ruins of these sanctums.

This rift, formed from the ambient powers of the five dragonflights left over from the sanctums' collapse, pierced the veil of the world and opened a portal into the Twisting Nether. Agents of the Burning Legion, forever seeking a way to return to Azeroth and wreak havoc, have seized upon this portal and invaded the shattered remnants of the dragon sanctums. Led by Sama'el, Prince of the Eredar and disciple of Kil'jaeden, has led the forces of the Burning Legion to this chaotic dimension to turn it into a beachhead for a new invasion of Azeroth.
