November 11 - 21 2021 | Barrens Campaign

Emboldened by the thinning lines of Alliance and Horde, the mongrels of the Barrens now aggressively test the defenses of the major factions. Patrols, traders, and even fortified outposts of the Horde and Alliance have been attacked, with false flags planted to stoke the tensions of the thinly-held armistice. Quillboar war drums thunder from the depths of the Kraul. Centaur and Harpies raise war banners. The Venture Company arms these denizens with equipment salvaged from the Iron Horde, seeking vengeance for their losses in Stranglethorn. In the shadows of the Overgrowth and within the walls of Northwatch Hold, a clandestine power seeks to ignite the flames of war.

The Thornwake rises. The Alliance and Horde will have to face it - and each other.

Warcraft Conquest presents Thornwake, a narrative and D20 campaign set to run between November 11th - November 21st in the Barrens. This story continues our journey to battle foes in Azeroth, plaguing the Barrens and threatening to tip the factions into open war.

Sabers rattle and smoke rises across the Barrens as the Mongrel Horde continues attacks against all peoples in the plains. The Horde endured attacks in Durotar and have lost contact with Crossroads.

Finale Events

We have two finales planned with a series of events per night: Thornwake Druids and Gravetusk Quilboar!

Thornwake Druids

As the Horde and Alliance and all neutral factions arrive in the Barrens, what seems to haunt the land and peoples may not be what it seems. At the depths of misfortune and attacks by twisted plants and corrupted leadership are a faction of rogue druids. The Thornwake. Events lead us through to locate their numbers and battle the true horrors of this twisted grove midway in the campaign!

All events invade the Overgrowth to scout, investigate, and battle the Thornwake!

Gravetusk Quilboar

For months, the Bramblespear Horde has gathered and armed allies to retake the Barrens from usurpers and invaders. Woefully called the Mongrel Horde, these folk of plains and cliffs and thorns rise up as the druids fall, enacting great battles that culminate in a final draw. But who is the true enemy? This horde battling to hold their ancestral lands, or something that lurks still in the Kraul?

Final events all take place together, as we siege Razorfen Kraul and Downs to find the truth.
