Chapter Summaries

Patrick and his allies reached the Caverns of Time, where Anachronos told them the Infinite Dragonflight was attacking and the Bronze Dragon Aspect was missing. As they discussed a Titan ruin in southern Tanaris and the danger of its World Reorigination Device, Patrick felt drawn to the Sands of Time and vanished when he touched an hourglass.

• Chronalis warned Patrick, Saragoss, and their companions that the Infinite Dragonflight was attacking the timelines and the Caverns of Time were not entirely safe.
• Anachronos told Patrick that his father, the Bronze Dragon Aspect, had disappeared, and asked the Blue Dragons to send more help to defend the Caverns of Time.
• Patrick told Anachronos about the World Reorigination Device and their search for a Titan ruin in Tanaris, while Anachronos revealed that an energy barrier in southern Tanaris had recently vanished.
• Patrick introduced the Four Guardians—Thorim, Freya, Mimiron, and Hodir—and Anachronos welcomed their help in defending the Caverns and searching for his father.
• As Anachronos explained the Sands of Time, Patrick felt drawn to an hourglass and vanished in a flash of white light when he touched it.

After Patrick vanished, Freya explained that he was safe in a temporal dimension, where Aman'Thul had brought him to reward him with the principles of time magic. Aman'Thul then revealed that Titans and Old Gods were the same kind of beings, divided by their beliefs about assimilating other planets.

• Alleria prepared to attack Anachronos after Patrick disappeared, but Freya assured her that he was safe in a temporal dimension.
• Aman'Thul's consciousness drew Patrick into Hyperdimensional Space, where he appeared before Patrick in his enormous Titan form.
• Aman'Thul praised Patrick for freeing Azeroth's World-Soul from corruption and gave him the principles of time magic as a reward.
• Aman'Thul warned Patrick that his understanding of Titans and Old Gods was mistaken, explaining that both evolved from World-Souls and differed in their bodies and beliefs.
• Aman'Thul explained that Old Gods who assimilated other planets had become enemies of the Titans, though some Old Gods shared the Titans' beliefs.

After meeting Aman'Thul and learning the fundamentals of time, Patrick returned to the Caverns of Time and found that allies had gathered to protect him. He learned that the Kirin Tor leadership had been executed and prepared to lead his companions to Uldum.

• Aman'Thul sent Patrick back to the Caverns of Time and gave him runes that granted some of the bronze dragons' authority.
• Patrick reunited with Alleria, Anachronos, Luminass, the Blood Council, and the guardians, and told Alleria privately that he had met a Titan.
• Luminass reported that the Kirin Tor leadership and their affiliated factions and families had been executed without trial, while other humans were expelled and Quel'Thalas's remaining elves were screened and dealt with according to their offenses.
• Lana'thel and the three blood princes told Patrick they had been accepted back into the kingdom and given posts in the Military Department.
• Patrick used two mysterious runes to revive a dead twig, then named Uldum as the group's first objective once the Caverns of Time were secure.

Patrick and Anachronos dealt with an attacker from the Infinite Dragonflight, then entered the web of time to search for the missing Nozdormu. Patrick used the authority Aman'Thul had given him to illuminate the web, but the search was only beginning.

• Patrick explained how he used space, time, and nature magic to revive a withered branch, astonishing the undead who hoped they might be reborn.
• Patrick warned Anachronos that enemies had infiltrated the Caverns of Time, and a black-armored human attacked him by surprise.
• Anachronos identified the attacker as a being summoned by the Infinite Dragonflight, while Patrick trapped and destroyed him inside a Coffin of Space.
• Anachronos led Patrick to a portal into Azeroth's timelines and asked him to help find Nozdormu, who was lost somewhere within the web of time.
• Patrick recognized that Nozdormu had become trapped while searching for the truth behind an event, then used Aman'Thul's runes and authority to illuminate the web of time.

Patrick restored Nozdormu from the web of time, and Nozdormu revealed that a powerful mastermind may have shaped many disasters across Azeroth. The group prepared to enter Uldum and protect the dragon eggs and Caverns of Time as Deathwing’s attack approached.

• Patrick used Aman'Thul's runes to send his thoughts through the web of time, and Nozdormu returned to his true form.
• Nozdormu told Patrick that the Uldum ruins lay to the south and that their protective barrier had been disrupted, while Saragoss asked to shelter the contaminated dragon eggs in the Caverns of Time.
• Nozdormu warned that events from Neltharion's corruption to the Twilight Dragon assault might be connected by a powerful mastermind, and Patrick identified N'Zoth as the culprit.
• Maiev asked whether the Old Gods had caused Sargeras's invasion, and Patrick explained that Sargeras had changed his beliefs and sought to destroy every planet and Old God.
• Nozdormu and Patrick agreed that Deathwing's attack was near and that the dragonflights should unite against him.
• Patrick said he would leave personnel and the floating city in Tanaris to guard the Caverns of Time before the group went to Uldum.

Patrick led his army into Uldum to investigate the Halls of Origination and its World Reorigination Device. He found Goblins and corrupted Neferset guarding the approach, and prepared to confront the forces tied to Deathwing and Al'Akir.

• Patrick left two Guardians and troops to protect the Caverns of Time, then led the rest of his army across Tanaris toward Uldum.
• Patrick burned the bugs emerging near the Great Divide and continued to suppress the Old Gods' influence.
• The stone sentinels recognized Patrick as a Titan and let him lead his army through Uldum's gates without searching for the Discs of Norgannon.
• Patrick reached the Steps of Fate and saw Goblins and darkened Neferset reavers gathered before the Halls of Origination.
• Patrick identified the World Reorigination Device as his main objective and walked toward the Halls of Origination.

Patrick learned that the Halls of Origination could only be opened by activating three obelisks, then used Titan authorization to lift its protective barrier. As Al'Akir sent an elemental army to seize the Halls, Illidan prepared to meet the attackers.

• Illidan tried to break through the Halls of Origination's shield with fel energy, but it had no effect.
• Elune explained that Patrick needed to activate the Stars, Sun, and Moon Obelisks to open the Halls.
• Patrick entered the three obelisks and activated their mechanisms, causing the shield to disappear.
• Al'Akir ordered Breeze King Arashad to lead the wind elementals from the Vortex Pinnacle into Uldum.
• The elemental army appeared south of the Halls, and Illidan readied the Warglaives of Azzinoth to face them.

Illidan defeated Zephyr King Ashad at the Sun King's Tomb, Prospector Outpost, and Sunstone Platform, while Patrick disintegrated the remaining wind elementals. Patrick then proposed that he and Illidan travel to Skywall to clear out the Wind Elemental Plane, and Illidan eagerly agreed.

• Zephyr King Ashad led his elemental forces against the allied army, and Illidan challenged him directly.
• Illidan transformed into Demon Form and killed Ashad with a fel attack before he could use his finishing moves.
• The elemental armies broke and fled, and Patrick arrived to ask Illidan how strong Ashad had been.
• Patrick used arcane and disintegration energy to eliminate the wind elementals around the battlefield.
• Patrick invited Illidan to go to Skywall and clean up the Wind Elemental Plane, and Illidan agreed.

Patrick and Illidan entered Skywall and confronted Al'Akir, whose lightning could not harm them. Patrick offered to spare Al'Akir if he revealed the secrets of the Curse of Flesh and Siamat's purification method, and Al'Akir surrendered.

• Patrick and Illidan arrived in Skywall and flew toward Al'Akir's Throne of the Four Winds as the realm's elementals watched from a distance.
• Al'Akir confronted the intruders, and Patrick gave him three choices: submission, being beaten into submission, or death.
• Al'Akir attacked Patrick and Illidan with a massive thunderstorm, but Patrick's Mana Shield protected them.
• Patrick asked Al'Akir to explain the Curse of Flesh and Siamat's purification method in exchange for his life and freedom.
• Al'Akir realized he could not defeat Patrick and surrendered.

Patrick learned how Siamat purified the Curse of Flesh, then used the Discs of Norgannon to free Al'Akir from the Old Gods' control. With Skywall calmed, Patrick returned to the Halls of Origination to investigate its machinery and the Titan watchers, while considering a new idea based on the knowledge he had gathered.

• Al'Akir shared how Siamat used energy conversion and elemental purification to remove the Curse of Flesh from the Neferset.
• Patrick used the Discs of Norgannon to strip the Old Gods' corruption from Al'Akir, calming the wind elementals and Skywall.
• Patrick declined to place an arcane mark on Al'Akir, who promised that Skywall would not appear in Uldum again and offered the wind elementals' help.
• Patrick and Illidan returned to the Halls of Origination to investigate the World Reorigination Device, the facility's condition, and its four Titan watchers.
• Patrick considered studying Al'Akir's knowledge alongside Freya's life-energy knowledge and Aman'Thul's time runes.

Patrick and Illidan received reports about the elemental conflicts, political upheaval, and the Twilight’s Hammer’s growing threat. The chapter ended with news that the cult had captured Wyrmrest Temple and the dragon queens had asked for help reclaiming it.

• Patrick and Illidan discussed the elementals’ allegiance to the Old Gods and their opposition to forces threatening Azeroth.
• Higgins-El-Kabolon reported that the Earth Temple had been repaired, Ragnaros had been killed, Thrall had been rescued, and Twilight Cultists were causing turmoil in the Alliance.
• Higgins reported that Tandred Proudmoore had retaken Theramore with Jaina, Lordaeron’s fleet, and Gilneas’s worgen, bringing the city under Kul Tiras’s control.
• Higgins delivered Kael’thas’s report that the Twilight’s Hammer had seized Wyrmrest Temple, and Alexstrasza and Ysera requested Patrick’s help retaking it.

Patrick ordered the Covenant to prepare for war against the Twilight's Hammer while he conducted a magical experiment combining four powers. He began testing the new spell on nearby Desert Scorpion remains as its mana cost proved higher than expected.

• Patrick learned that Varian had answered Wyrmrest Temple's call, while Jorin Deadeye had offered Horde support, and noted that the Horde's leaders had not committed troops.
• Illidan warned Patrick that the Twilight's Hammer's repeated attacks on Wyrmrest Temple suggested a larger plan, with Deathwing still absent.
• Patrick told Higgins to inform Medivh that the Covenant would join the Alliance in an assault on the Twilight's Hammer and ordered the Silvermoon Council to prepare for war.
• Patrick displayed the key to the Halls of Origination and said he had other plans for it.
• Patrick assembled four arcane sequences based on powers from Freya, Aman'Thul, Al'Akir, and his own spatial magic, then activated the combined spell.
• Patrick found that the fourfold spell consumed mana quickly and used Mind Vision to search for Desert Scorpion remains as test subjects.

Patrick experimented with combining spatial, temporal, and life magic to restore dead creatures, eventually resurrecting a desert scorpion. He ordered a harbor and outpost built near the Halls of Origination and summoned Darion and Sylvanas to Quelrins City to discuss his breakthrough.

• Patrick used Aman'Thul's Time Runes to reverse the decay of dead creatures, but his early experiments repeatedly failed.
• Patrick restored a hyena's body with Freya's Life Runes, but it moved unnaturally because he had left out a step needed to reconnect its brain and body.
• Patrick continued experimenting without Elune's help and successfully resurrected a desert scorpion, which remembered its death and acted defensively toward him.
• Patrick ordered the Silvermoon Council to establish an outpost and build a harbor in front of the Halls of Origination.
• Patrick summoned Darion and Sylvanas to Quelrins City to discuss his latest achievement in arcane magic.

Sylvanas and Darion waited in Quelrins City for Patrick, while Patrick planned military deployments from Tranquillien. After arranging forces to secure Uldum and protect the shipping route to Feralas, he teleported to Quelrins City.

• Darion reassured the Death Knights that waiting for Patrick was reasonable, while Sylvanas said his official summons meant the matter was important.
• Sylvanas reflected on her efforts to restore free will to the higher undead and on the Forsaken’s need for Undercity as their capital.
• Patrick discussed military shipping routes and Uldum’s strategic importance with Verlin Sunstrider in Tranquillien.
• Verlin offered to request Scholar and army units to expand the makeshift camp in Uldum, and Patrick approved his orders.
• Patrick teleported to Quelrins City.

Patrick summoned the Avengers and Knights of the Ebon Blade to reveal that he could restore undead bodies to life, though resurrection had not yet succeeded on a person and could kill them permanently if it failed. He explained the risks and left them to decide whether to proceed.

• Tirion Fordring and Alonsus Faol joined the gathering, hoping Acherus: The Ebon Hold might return to Lordaeron’s fold.
• Patrick asked Sylvanas whether the Avengers had been purged of those who willingly served Ner’zhul, and she confirmed they had been eliminated.
• Patrick demonstrated his resurrection magic with a desert scorpion and explained that he had reversed time on its body and restored its vitality.
• Darion and Sylvanas asked about the conditions for resurrection, and Darion pledged the Knights of the Ebon Blade’s support.
• Patrick warned that he had no successful human resurrection to his credit and that failure would mean permanent death, then asked whether they still wanted to proceed.

Patrick used his resurrection spell on Memphis-Shadow as its first test, restoring his body and bringing him back to life. Memphis celebrated his successful return, while the spell still awaited use on the leaders who had to retain control over their undead followers.

• Patrick explained the resurrection spell’s restrictions and said Darion and Sylvanas had to undergo the transformation last because they led undead forces.
• Memphis-Shadow volunteered, explaining that he had been a priest before Arthas resurrected him as a shadow mage.
• Patrick used a magic circle, the Discs of Norgannon, and Freya’s Life Runes to remove the Fel plague and restore Memphis’s body.
• Memphis vomited the green potion residue, heard his heartbeat, and celebrated that he was alive again.

Patrick successfully restored Memphis-Shadow to life, prompting Sylvanas, Darion, and other undead to prepare for resurrection in Quelrins City. As news spread, the Horde and Alliance weighed the political consequences while preparing for a continent-wide war against the Twilight Cultists and black dragons at Wyrmrest Temple.

• Patrick dissolved the fel plague and Memphis-Shadow confirmed that his body and senses had returned to life.
• Sylvanas and Darion reacted to the successful resurrection, and Patrick announced that he would hold the ritual in Quelrins City.
• The Horde leaders discussed the Forsaken’s departure, their relations with Quel'Thalas, and the threat at Wyrmrest Temple before an earthquake shook Orgrim.
• The Alliance leaders assessed the Horde’s weakening position and the growing strength of the northern kingdoms.
• Medivh reported that the Council of Tirisfal would join the coming war, while the night elves prepared to march on Wyrmrest Temple.

Varian's council worried over Archbishop Benedictus's disappearance as an earthquake struck Stormwind, while Patrick resurrected Luminas Sunstrider in Quelrins City. Neltharion unleashed a devastating assault across the Eastern Kingdoms and flew toward Quelrins City, where Patrick and the newly resurrected elves faced the growing tremors.

• Earl Remington told Varian that Archbishop Benedictus had vanished after Medivh wiped out a Twilight Cultist uprising in Stormwind.
• Medivh stabilized Stormwind Keep during an earthquake and urged everyone to evacuate.
• Patrick resurrected the three blood princes and Luminas Sunstrider in Quelrins City, then paused to recover his mana.
• Luminas Sunstrider noticed that the ground was shaking as the earthquake intensified.
• Neltharion had elementium armor forged into his body and flew north, laying waste to settlements across the Eastern Kingdoms.
• Neltharion headed for Quelrins City, where Patrick and the resurrected elves were gathered.

Deathwing attacked Quelrins City, forcing Patrick to use powerful arcane sigils to shield the city and drive him away. Deathwing headed toward Wyrmrest Temple, and Patrick ordered the resurrection ritual suspended so they could respond immediately.

• Elune warned Patrick that Deathwing was approaching Quelrins City, and Patrick chose to confront him while evacuating the city’s residents.
• Deathwing announced the Hour of Twilight and unleashed dragon breath at Quelrins City.
• Patrick protected the city with enormous sigils, while its troops’ attacks failed to penetrate Deathwing’s armor.
• Deathwing flew west after recognizing Patrick’s Titan-like spell inscriptions, but his parting blast set Plaguewood ablaze.
• Patrick told the others that Deathwing was heading toward Wyrmrest Temple and ordered the resurrection ritual suspended.

After Deathwing attacked, Patrick canceled the resurrection ritual and called for a renewed campaign against Neltharion and his followers. He returned to Silvermoon City, where the council reviewed the damage from the Cataclysm and prepared to mobilize its forces.

• Patrick canceled the resurrection ritual until Deathwing had been dealt with, and Darion, Lordaeron, Tirion, and Sylvanas pledged to join the war against Neltharion.
• Patrick told Alonsus Faol that he could not resurrect him because his natural lifespan had ended and the returned life would not last once Patrick stopped supplying his power.
• Patrick took Luminas Sunstrider and the others back to Silvermoon City, where the Silvermoon Council learned they had been reborn and assembled to discuss the crisis.
• The council reported widespread earthquake damage, including the destruction of underground railways and Magni's transformation into diamond, while Stormwind City had avoided major losses.
• Kael'thas reported that Silvermoon had established a powerful navy and developed submarines to support its carrier battle group and naga forces.
