User:GoldenYak/Heroes of the Nexus

Worlds collide in the most epic expansion of all.

Introduction
As the world of Azeroth struggles to recover from the many grand battles it has endured over the ages, a terrifying new enemy appears - the Umbra! Emerging from beyond the known realms of the cosmos, the Umbra threaten to devour all Azeroth and drag it into a dark oblivion from which there is no escape.

As the Alliance and the Horde struggle to preserve their world from these new enemies, mysterious beings from other realms appear to offer hope. Heroes from Azeroth are chosen to venture to a new world, forged from many that have fallen to the Umbra, and filled with new allies that may be the key to saving not only all of Azeroth, but countless more worlds.

The Nexus awaits!

Heroes of the Nexus World Story
The Lords of Mystery forged the Nexus in a time beyond reality. From the Nexus they drew upon a million realities and more, searching for a path to greater power and knowledge. After eons of toying with realities, their experiments yielded the first true child of the Nexus - Azera, a being of immaculate divinity, forged to be the perfect god, the architect of the ultimate cosmos. Yet even as the greatest creation of the Lords of Mystery was born, so too was born their ultimate nemesis - a crawling cancer upon all existence, the Umbra, devourers of reality! The Umbra spread like a plague from the Nexus to innumerable realities, devouring them one after another until the Lords of Mystery vanished from the Nexus, either in fear or annihilation. Alone, Azera has spent countless millennia fighting against the Umbra, her nearly futile efforts sparing a handful of realities from extinction while the Umbra have freely devoured thousands more.

Now, the reality of Azeroth has been joined with others through the Nexus, another war-front against the cosmos-threatening Umbra.

Path of the Titans - Unique New Levelling System
Players will no longer grow by simply by acquiring experience points to advance one level at a time. Players will be able to customize their character progression using the Path of the Titans.

Titanforged Equipment and the Path of the Titans
Armor and weapons that receive the Titanforged bonus no longer improve in power by a set amount. Instead, the degree to which a piece of Titanforged equipment improves is tied to a player's progress along the Path of the Titans. The more power a player has unlocked through Path of the Titans, the more powerful a piece of Titanforged equipment will be.
