History

Prelude

At the end of the Nazjatar Campaign in the Fourth War, N'Zoth was released from its prison. The forces of the Horde and Alliance worked together, but they found no trace of N'Zoth's forces. Ever since his release, the Old God has evaded them at every turn. Magni Bronzebeard and Wrathion started working together in order to stop and deal with N'Zoth. Spies organizations like the SI:7 and Blacktalon had no luck in finding the old god, but Wrathion's research led him to learn about Ny'alotha.

Magni's plan was to check upon the titan forges throughout the world as he thought N'Zoth would want to destroy any obstacles in corrupting Azeroth, and titan consoles in the Chamber of Heart allowed him to do that. After checking Uldir, Uldaman, and Ulduar, he found that the Uldum facility was inactive. Magni and the adventurer arrived at the Halls of Origination, only to find the facility taken by the Amathet.
