Velen and the Lightforging Orcs spread the Holy Light across Draenor and Azeroth, enslaving people and turning Tirion Fordring into a source of food. Jaina and Aman'Thul manipulated Aegwynn and Kalecgos, leaving Aegwynn dead, Kalecgos’s fate uncertain, and Meryl Winterstorm implanting a Blue Dragon scale in a sleeping Dreadlord.

• Antonidas memorized the instructions for breaking the Holy Light Edict and burned the scroll, while Velen gave Cho'gall Eredar's Extinction and plotted to take power after Mar’gok’s death.

• Jaina killed Aegwynn and persuaded the Blue Dragons to repair Kalecgos’s body so she could use him as a puppet mount, while Meryl Winterstorm implanted a humming Blue Dragon scale in a sleeping female Dreadlord.

Jaina and the forces of the Holy Light transformed Kalecgos into a Holy Dragon and plunged Azeroth into wars that consumed Velen, Lucas, and countless others. After Velen was sent to preach the Light among the Pandaren, he reached Stormwind and discovered a corrupted sermon as he sought allies against its spread.

• Aegwynn awakened in a Dreadlord body and told Meryl that Medivh was gone, while Lucas absorbed Holy Light at Light's Hope Chapel and heard Tirion Fordring warn him about Jaina and Amado.

• Velen forced Greymane to travel to Stormwind, while Kel'Thuzad warned Greymane that Jaina was using Velen and helped him oppose Peace Dove's plot.
• Jaina was trapped in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, where she endured repeated deaths before building a large Peace Dove following and trying to escape.

• Jaina, Garrosh, and Zul'jin remained trapped after Chen's victory disrupted the balance, while Sylvanas resurrected and learned Taran Zhu had sent for her.
