Illidan and the other leaders put the Scourge aside and set out to hunt Deathwing, while Patrick pursued the wounded dragon toward the Maelstrom. The chapter left Patrick closing in on Deathwing as the Maelstrom’s power threatened to aid the dragon.

• Illidan, Kael'thas, and the other leaders agreed that killing Deathwing was their priority and assigned the remaining enemies to the former Four Council.
• Illidan told Vashj to leave ordinary naga behind to clear the battlefield and send her stronger naga toward the Maelstrom.

• Patrick learned that his spatial magic was not yet strong enough to restrain Deathwing and resolved to keep him from recovering at the Maelstrom.

Patrick confronted Deathwing at the Maelstrom as Deathwing revealed his Old God-transformed body and began unleashing the full Cataclysm. After learning he could not control Azeroth’s time to stop it, Patrick prepared to fight Deathwing by drawing on arcane energy.

• Patrick decided he had to stop Deathwing directly and absorbed arcane energy as Deathwing drew on the Maelstrom’s Power of the Earth.

Patrick, the Dragon Aspects, Thrall, and their allies joined forces to destroy Deathwing at the Maelstrom. Afterward, Patrick warned that Azeroth still faced upheaval because its elemental balance had been disrupted.

• Onyxia attacked Deathwing, while Patrick mocked him and met his Chaos Breath with a powerful Arcane Energy Ray.
• Thrall struck Deathwing with the Dragon Soul, letting Patrick pierce him again, but tentacles grew from his wounds and kept him alive.

• Alexstrasza, Malygos, and Thrall joined Patrick beside the Maelstrom, and Patrick warned them that the disrupted elemental balance meant their work was not finished.

Patrick explained that he planned to summon the shattered world of Draenor into Azeroth to repair its damage, while using the effort to unite its leaders against shared threats. After Medivh considered the risks and Patrick explained his safeguards and the Dark Portal’s role, the leaders agreed the plan was worth attempting.

• Patrick reminded Azeroth’s leaders of their rivalries and said they needed to set aside their hatred to defend their shared home.
• Patrick revealed that he intended to summon Draenor into Azeroth so its fragments could repair the damage to the world.
• Medivh objected to the risks to the ley lines, but Patrick said Malygos would monitor them and explained how the Dark Portals could provide precise coordinates.

• Thrall supported Patrick’s plan, and Patrick said the leaders would first eliminate the Burning Legion’s remnants and Shadow Council forces in Outland.
• Patrick offered to exempt unwilling locations from the summoning, a remark that the leaders understood was directed at Velen and Shattrath.

Patrick proposed that the Draenei and the Arcane Pact set aside their disputes, then oversaw negotiations over territories in Draenor. After the factions chose regions, Patrick began summoning Draenor by channeling energy into the ley lines.

• Patrick urged Velen to trust that the Arcane Pact would not target the Draenei and offered to keep their disputes from worsening.

• Patrick let Illidan choose the Pact's territory, and Illidan selected Shadowmoon Valley.
• Patrick began the summoning, while structures in Feralas and on the Isle of Quel'Danas sent energy into the ley lines.

Patrick began moving Outland to Azeroth by building a Titans rune ley line around the shattered world and constructing a spatial passage between the two worlds. As the teleportation started, Outland’s inhabitants watched the sky change, while armies prepared to seize their assigned territories once the transfer ended.

• Malygos confirmed that the ley line system was functioning, and Medivh activated the Dark Portal’s spatial teleportation magic.
• Patrick transmitted Azeroth’s ley line runes through the Dark Portal, forming a protective ley line network around Outland and embedding it with replicated Titans runes.

• Inside the Titans' prison, N'Zoth told Vara that events in Pandaria were proceeding as planned and awaited the mortals’ arrival.

Patrick and the Covenant leaders decided how to organize their territories and allies after the Alliance and Horde landed in Outland. Patrick set plans for Onyxia, the tuskarr, Kul Tiras, the Syndicate, and the furbolgs, while reserving separate arrangements for Lordaeron and Sylvanas's Avengers.

• Patrick allowed Onyxia to bring the Black Dragon clan under his protection if she could keep its members under control, while clarifying that the offer did not include the Void Dragons.
• Kael'thas assigned Onyxia a mixed-crewed fleet so she could travel to Blade's Edge Mountains and contact her brother Sabellian.
• Patrick tasked Elder Kunani and the tuskarr with helping survey and navigate maritime routes to Shadowmoon Valley, and confirmed Kul Tiras would remain the core provider of maritime trade services.

• Patrick offered Liam and Darius Crowley provisional membership in the Arcane Pact, with duties and authority matching those of the tuskarr.
• Darion looked forward to returning to Quelrins City to prepare the resurrection ceremony for the Knights of the Ebon Blade and the Avengers.
• Alonsus Faol warned that uncontrolled Scourge forces would threaten the far north after Sylvanas was resurrected, and he volunteered to control them.

Patrick returned to Silvermoon City to address Quel'Thalas's domestic affairs after securing Lordaeron's future and arranging the Covenant's expansion into Shadowmoon Valley. A population report showing growth of up to 4.6 percent per year stunned him, and Quelrintis began explaining the council's approved solution.

• Patrick saw a report showing Quel'Thalas's population growth had reached 4.6 percent per year, and Quelrintis said the council had devised a solution with Kael'thas's approval.

Patrick approved Kael'thas's plan to merge the Sundial Burning Legion and the Dark Curse Burning Legion, while the Silvermoon Council still had to confirm the reorganization. After Luminas Sunstrider presented plans to reestablish legions for returned and resurrected elves, Patrick asked Kael'thas when he intended to be crowned king.

• The High Elves began having children in large numbers after libraries and magical texts were opened to couples with more than three children, and Kael'thas projected population growth of six percent.
• Kael'thas proposed merging the Sundial Burning Legion with the Dark Curse Burning Legion because their roles had become similar after the elves broke free of Kil'jaeden.

• Kael'thas named Huili Sandeguer leader of the new legion and Grand Astromancer Solarian her deputy.
• Luminas Sunstrider presented plans to reestablish legions for returned and resurrected elves, and Patrick asked Kael'thas when he would be crowned king.

Patrick urged Kael'thas to hold a coronation and proposed reorganizing Quel'Thalas's Council to unite the Royalists and Council under clearer roles. Kael'thas agreed to be crowned when the undead were restored to life, while Patrick also pressed him to marry and secure an heir.

• Patrick argued that Kael'thas needed a coronation to establish his rule and proposed further reforms to prevent renewed conflict between the Royalists and the Council.
• Gathios feared Patrick intended a purge, but Patrick said he wanted to prevent future power struggles by redefining the king's and Council's responsibilities.

• Kael'thas agreed to be crowned when all the undead had been restored to life and celebrated with Quel'Thalas.
• Patrick urged Kael'thas to marry soon and produce an heir, while Kael'thas considered the importance of choosing a suitable spouse.

Patrick proposed compulsory public education for High Elf children to strengthen shared ties and improve access to learning while preserving elite magical instruction. Kael'thas accepted the plan, which would require children to attend school for roughly eighty to a hundred and twenty years and aim to bring every High Elf to an intermediate professional level by the end of childhood.

• Patrick explained that he wanted Council schools to educate High Elf children together, creating friendships across political factions.
• Kael'thas objected to forcing children to study together, so Patrick offered to personally introduce the royal children to magic and arcane knowledge.
• Duchess Malande asked how long compulsory schooling would last, and Patrick outlined a Royal Academy of Arcane Arts with three required stages of schooling.
• Patrick estimated that compulsory education would last eighty to a hundred and twenty years, and Kael'thas agreed to the proposal.
• Patrick planned to raise the standard of education without weakening elite training, making an Intermediate Arcane Academy education the goal for every High Elf child.

Patrick uncovered Darlis Dawnstrike's attempt to strengthen the Sundial Burning Legion with Royalists and ordered his suspension and investigation. After reviewing reports of migrations and political changes across the continents, Patrick left for Quelrins City to resurrect the remaining Ebon Blade knights and Avengers.

• Patrick found Darlis Dawnstrike's unsigned proposal to expand the Sundial Burning Legion with Royalists while transferring ordinary High Elves and former Council faction members out.

• Nochong ordered Spellbreakers to take Darlis away after Patrick bound him with Arcane Vines and spared his life.
• The Council received reports that Frost Trolls, Mok'Nathal, Thunderlord orcs, Shadowmoon orcs, and Kurenai were migrating or joining the Horde or Alliance, while Velen's advance force returned to Netherstorm.
• Patrick and Kael'thas finished reviewing the Council's work, and Patrick departed for Quelrins City to resurrect the remaining Ebon Blade knights and Avengers.

Patrick resurrected Sylvanas and the other undead, and Sylvanas returned Undercity to Alonsus Faol as Lordaeron continued its recovery. Back in Quel'Thalas, Patrick learned that Kael'thas planned to marry Luminas Sunstrider during his coronation and considered modifying the Bann'donor Energy Field.

• Kael'thas told Patrick that he would marry Luminas Sunstrider during his coronation ceremony.
• Patrick congratulated Kael'thas and said he had a new idea for modifying the Bann'donor Energy Field.

Patrick and Kael'thas planned to expand Bann'donor and rebuild administrative districts in the Ghostlands before Silvermoon City celebrated Kael'thas's coronation. Kael'thas and Luminas Sunstrider were crowned king and queen of Quel'Thalas.

• Patrick proposed extending Bann'donor southward, and he and Kael'thas discussed developing the Ghostlands and increasing its grain production.

The Alliance, Horde, and Pact assembled their main forces outside Auchindoun, where Patrick arrived to meet Varian.
