Diakum prepared to travel to Nar'thalas Academy to rescue Imira and secure the Highborne's cooperation, while the Twins joined him. After freeing King Baratheon's soul from Apocalypse, Diakum persuaded the magic sword to abandon Death Force and enter the Sea of Darkness, where it gained a new swarm and wielder.

• Diakum told Neri he planned to visit the Broken Isles and Nar'thalas Academy, and Neri agreed to lead the Exodar forces to Kalimdor once it was ready.
• Diakum set out with Saloras and Oreses, planning to free King Baratheon's soul and enlist Kael'thas as their guide to Nar'thalas Academy.

Diakum and the Twins traveled with Kael'thas to Nar'thalas Academy to retrieve Imira and confront Headmistress Lady Blue Moon. Diakum proposed an academic contest whose outcome would determine whether the Arcane Academy could establish a teaching district there.

• Kael'thas admitted that his Magic Addiction had not fully subsided and resolved to seek a cure through the Arcan'dor tree, then opened a portal to the Broken Isles.
• Kael'thas guided Diakum and the Twins through Azsuna and explained that the Tidal Stone powered the ancient defensive barrier protecting it.

Diakum’s visit turned Nar’thalas Academy’s academic exchange into a fierce contest, while Governor Toserin recognized that Diakum also intended to rally the Highborne to aid the Kaldorei at Mount Hyjal. As Headmistress Lady Blue Moon prepared an ancient artifact for a final challenge, Diakum sought reinforcements from the Legion’s upper ranks.

• The Eredar Twins defeated challenge after challenge at Nar’thalas Academy, and Master Oreses made Lady Kalecia concede by showing her a spark of Sargeras’s Flame.
• Governor Toserin told Headmistress Lady Blue Moon that Diakum’s exchange was a pretext to unite the Highborne and bring them to the decisive battle at Mount Hyjal, but she refused to concede the academy’s honor.
• Lady Blue Moon summoned Lady Shandaral and Governor Toserin to face the Twins, and she brought out the sealed Sahien Stone as a possible final test.
• Diakum scolded Imira over her test paper, but Imira argued that her answers followed advanced theories and lamented Azeroth’s lost progress during ten thousand years of isolation.
• After seeing Lady Blue Moon bring the Sahien Stone into the library, Diakum asked Kazzak how to contact the Legion’s upper ranks and demanded that he teach him.

• The Twins and Imira fought Nar’thalas Academy’s students and faculty to a draw, after which Headmaster Blue Moon announced the student exchange was over.
• Diakum insisted the teachers must also compete and had the Grand Library Palace cleared before Headmaster Blue Moon presented the Sahien Stone, a sealed artifact containing the essence of the Well of Eternity.
• The Twins and Imira failed to solve the artifact’s arcane puzzle, so Diakum summoned Sarkir in a temporary Eredar body to represent Arcane Academy.

• Sarkir’s body began to collapse after he opened the stone, and he praised the three students before disappearing and declaring Arcane Academy the winner.

Diakum forced Nathrezim Academy to accept defeat and ordered its faculty and upper-year students to join the Anti-Demon Crusade, while Kael'thas began planning to reclaim the Arcan'dor World Tree. In Stormheim, Staghelm discovered that a Ren'dorei recruit had died after summoning the Shadewalker swarm for revenge, and he launched a hunt for the Nathrezim responsible.

• A disguised Nathrezim unlocked the Shieldmaidens’ cages and warned Helya that the Light Weaver wanted to see them.
• General Staghelm’s Shadewalkers and insect warriors attacked the village, while the freed Shieldmaidens joined the battle against the fel Vrykul and Nathrezim.
• Mephistos recognized the Void forces and attempted to escape, but Saloras, Oreses, and Imira struck him with powerful spells.
• Diakum knocked Mephistos down with the Twilight Hammer and opened a rift to the Sea of Darkness, intending to test his resistance to void power.

Diakum gathered the Shadewalker Cult and Helya’s Shieldmaidens to join the fight against Corrupted Cenarius, while deciding to seek Ulthalesh’s knowledge about destroying Nathrezim. At Mount Hyjal, Malfurion prepared to seek troll aid against nightmare creatures as he privately accepted the Black Crow King’s plan for Nordrassil.

• Diakum healed Helya and her Shieldmaidens, then recruited them to fight Corrupted Cenarius and sent the group through a portal to Silithus.
• At Mount Hyjal, Naralex reported that demons had isolated the Kaldorei and that nightmare creations threatened the Emerald Dream, so Malfurion sent him to seek aid from the trolls’ Loa Gods.
• After Naralex left, Malfurion reflected on the Black Crow King’s plan and quietly said it might be time to say goodbye to Nordrassil.

Illidan returned to Mount Hyjal and learned that Malfurion and the Black Crow King planned to use Nordrassil against the Corrupted Cenarius. He proposed spending some of the World Tree’s Life Force to revive sleeping demigods, while Diakum and the Kaldorei prepared for the approaching battle.

• Arantien delivered Vigilant’s news to Illidan: reinforcements were heading to Kalimdor, and the Exodar would bring demon slayers from the Eastern Continent.
• Diakum told Illidan to return to Mount Hyjal and warned him that the Conqueror had sent an observation fleet; Illidan ordered the Illidari warships to prepare for a hunt.
• Diakum suggested that an approaching special force help defeat the Corrupted One, and Illidan agreed to let them try after hearing they had killed Mannoroth.

Diakum reached Nightsworn Fortress and discovered that Tyrande Whisperwind’s seal was failing, then accidentally caused the moonlight keeping her asleep to go out. As Tyrande awakened and fixed her gaze on him, Diakum prepared to face her while Polluter confronted the weakened Malorne in the Emerald Dream.

• Diakum and the Watchers crossed the Emerald Dream to Mount Hyjal, where Illysanna Ravencrest explained the danger of Tyrande’s unstable Black Moon power.
• The group entered the underground chamber and saw Tyrande sealed beneath Malorne’s moonlight, while Diakum learned that Azshara’s seal had been absorbing and transforming Elune’s wrath.
