Dick traveled to a hidden Titan ruin in the Badlands to retrieve the Disc of Norgannon, where Garona ambushed him and demanded the Eye of C'Thun on behalf of the Twilight's Hammer. After learning Anduin was safe in Karazhan and Cho'gall's forces were active in Kalimdor, Dick continued toward Uldaman.

• Dick reached a Dark Iron mine in the Badlands, and the miners left him alone with an underground map after recognizing his royal insignia.
• Garona attacked Dick in the tunnel, but he repelled her with Divine Storm and the two stopped fighting.
• Garona threw Anduin's scepter to Dick and demanded the Eye of C'Thun, saying her employer wanted it.
• Dick gave Garona the Eye, and she revealed that Cho'gall had a new master and that Anduin had escaped her pursuit and was in Karazhan with a Bearfolk.
• Garona vanished after warning Dick to protect Med'an, and Dick deduced that Cho'gall's forces were likely headed for Dire Maul in Feralas.
• Dick resumed his search for Uldaman, the Titan ruin that held the Disc of Norgannon.

Dick fought his way through Trogg-occupied Uldaman and used the Staff of Ironaya to find the Hall of Ironaya. There, he awakened the Titan keeper Ironaya, who recognized the power of the Fist of Tyr and welcomed him as the returning King of Order.

• Dick broke through a sealed wall in the mine and discovered Troggs among the corpses of Dark Iron Dwarves.
• Dick defeated a charging Trogg horde and later found the Staff of Ironaya among a Trogg chieftain’s belongings.

• Dick ordered the guardians to seal off the palace and eliminate the Troggs, then used the staff to open a hidden chamber.
• Ironaya emerged with a stone sword, but she recognized the power in Dick’s left hand and hailed him as the King of Order.

Dick met Ironaya in Uldaman and learned how Tyr opposed Loken before sacrificing himself to protect the Discs of Norgannon. Ironaya named Dick Tyr’s heir and prepared to lead him toward Archaedas, whose recognition was needed to reach the Discs and Tyr’s ultimate secret.

• Dick showed Ironaya the Silver Hand, and she recognized it as Tyr’s weapon and accepted him as Tyr’s heir.
• Ironaya showed Dick a vision of Tyr confronting Loken and recounted how Loken’s corruption drove Tyr and his followers to flee with the Disc of Norgannon.
• Ironaya revealed that Tyr stayed behind to face the C'Thraxxi while Archaedas and the others escaped, and warned Dick that Tyr’s tomb had been a trap.
• Ironaya explained that she and Archaedas had guarded the Discs in Uldaman, though Archaedas had become obsessed with building an army to avenge Tyr.
• Ironaya called Dick Dick Bronzan, warned him that Archaedas would not readily acknowledge him, and offered to help him build a force before confronting Archaedas.

Dick entered Uldaman’s sealed temple and discovered thousands of awakened Earthen, who recognized him as Tyr’s successor. After learning that their Dwarven descendants had remained loyal to the Titans, Od’rak Stoneheart pledged the Earthen Legion to Dick as he prepared to face Archaedas.

• Ironaya opened the temple doors, and Dick found thousands of Earthen awakening inside.
• The Earthen king, Od’rak Stoneheart, mistook Dick for Tyr returned, while Ironaya explained that the Earthen could choose whether to join his challenge against Archaedas.

• Dick assured Od’rak that the Dwarves remained on the side of order and had helped drive out the Firelord.
• Od’rak declared Dick the Earthen Legion’s second commander, and the Earthen armed themselves to march with him toward Archaedas.

Dick and Ironaya reached Archaedas in Uldaman’s Creator’s Workshop, where they discovered the Shaper had been corrupted by an Old God. As Archaedas awakened his army of revenge, Dick prepared to confront him while Ironaya held off the statues.

• Dick and the Earthen fought through Archaedas’s huge army of War Constructs, with Ironaya’s giant form helping clear the passage to the deepest temple.
• Ironaya told Dick that Uldaman’s power alone could not defeat Loken and explained that the Titans’ facilities had been activated only in response to a threat to the world’s foundations.
• Dick and Ironaya entered the Creator’s Workshop, where Archaedas rejected Ironaya’s appeal and denounced Dick as too weak to inherit Lord Tyr’s will.
• Dick recognized the scarlet light in Archaedas’s eyes as a sign of Old God corruption, and Archaedas denied being infected before ordering his army to awaken.
• Dick told Ironaya to hold off the statues while he faced Archaedas, then activated a silver card and summoned the Giant of Light.

Dick defeated the corrupted Archaedas with the Holy Light Giant’s power and found Norgannon’s secret message in the Disc of Norgannon. The message revealed a plan to empower a chosen being against Sargeras, but most of its provisions had already been lost, leaving Dick to rely on himself as he set out to find the World Blueprint in Uldum.

• Dick used the Humility card to bind Archaedas and weaken him, then smashed his limbs and purged the corruption from his core with Ironaya’s help.
• Ironaya stayed beside the recovering Archaedas while Dick entered the secret chamber and activated the Disc of Norgannon.
• Norgannon’s recording explained that the Titans had prepared a plan involving the World Blueprint, Val'anyr, the Discs of Norgannon, and Elune’s acknowledgment to grant authority against Sargeras.

• Dick received the next Titans Path objective: travel to the Halls of Origination in Uldum and obtain the World Blueprint.

The Scarlet Crusade and Silver Hand drove the undead from much of West Darrowmere and prepared to besiege Andorhal, while their commanders discussed the threat of Worgen in Tirisfal. When Old Mograine led troops toward a threatened frontier, Darion recalled Dick’s warning and decided to go after him, with Taelan joining him.

• The Scarlet Crusade and Silver Hand cleared most of West Darrowmere and camped outside Andorhal to confront Araj the Summoner.
• Old Mograine and the commanders discussed the Worgen spreading through Tirisfal and considered hiring adventurers to help retake the region.
• A discussion of Brigitte and Renault turned sour when Duane mentioned Darion, whose estrangement from Old Mograine remained a sore subject.
• A messenger warned that elite undead were threatening the Scarlet Crusade’s Tirisfal defenses, so Old Mograine led Renault and Fairbanks toward the frontier.
• Darion hesitated over Dick’s warning that Old Mograine might be in danger, then decided to check on him, and Taelan offered to go along.

Mograine led the Paladins into a trap set by the death knights Dathrohan and Korth'azz, who surrounded them beneath a floating fortress. As Fairbanks escaped to seek reinforcements, Renault stayed beside his father, then stabbed him from behind.

• Mograine charged into the undead ranks with the Ashbringer and discovered Dathrohan and Korth'azz waiting to ambush him.
• Dathrohan and Korth'azz surrounded the Paladins while an emerald-green floating fortress appeared overhead.

• Renault refused Fairbanks's order to retreat and returned to fight beside Mograine.
• After Mograine was wounded and Renault helped him up, Renault stabbed his father, and Fairbanks shouted that Renault was a traitor.

Fairbanks witnessed Renault stab Old Mograine and fled to carry word of the betrayal, while Renault revealed his hatred for his family and prepared to kill his father. Darion rescued the dying Mograine, but Balnazzar intercepted him as Taelan carried Mograine away, leaving Darion fighting the Dreadlord amid an approaching undead force.

• Fairbanks saw Renault stab Old Mograine and raced toward Andorhal to report the patricide.
• Renault confessed that jealousy of Darion and resentment over Whitemane had driven his hatred, while Balnazzar claimed he had only stirred Renault's existing darkness.

• Darion carried the dying Mograine as Taelan lowered a rope from a Gryphon, but Balnazzar attacked and Darion ordered Taelan to escape with Mograine.
• Taelan flew toward Tirisfal as Gargoyles and Frost Wyrms filled the sky, while Darion trapped Balnazzar's bats in a Bladestorm and vowed vengeance.

Darion escaped Balnazzar’s pursuit but was rescued by Thassarian and his free Death Knights, who asked for his help because Lord Uther was in trouble. Taelan struggled to carry the mortally wounded Old Mograine through Silverpine Forest, where a black-clad figure blocked their path.

• Darion fled toward Tirisfal while Balnazzar harried and wounded him, then the Dreadlord knocked him down and prepared to kill him.
• Thassarian and more than twenty free Death Knights appeared, forcing Balnazzar to retreat, and Thassarian asked Darion to help Lord Uther.
• Taelan carried Old Mograine through Silverpine Forest while using the last of his Holy Light to keep him alive and evading the undead pursuing them.
• Taelan tripped and dropped Mograine, then lifted him again and found a black-clad man with a huge longsword blocking their way.

Taelan stood against Dathrohan to protect the dying Mograine, but Velinde arrived with intelligent Worgen and thousands of Forest Wolves, forcing the Death Knight to flee. Dathrohan’s escape brought him face-to-face with Thassarian, Darion, and their Death Knights, who demanded that he release Mograine.

• Taelan drew his sword and charged Dathrohan, who broke the blade and knocked him aside without killing him.
• Forest Wolves and intelligent, armored Worgen attacked the undead, and Velinde confronted Dathrohan and demanded Mograine.
• Velinde and the Worgen fought Dathrohan, damaging his sword and driving him to break through the wolf pack toward Tirisfal.
• After ten minutes of pursuit, Dathrohan encountered Thassarian, Darion, and their Death Knights arriving on Bone Gryphons.
• Thassarian ordered Dathrohan to put Mograine down or kill him, warning that only Frostmourne could convert the Paladin.

Maiev rescued Old Mograine from Dathrohan, while Darion and the others returned to Stratholme as the Scourge renewed its assault on the Northern Frontier. Brigitte learned that her father’s position had fallen to Renault’s betrayal and heard General Abbendis’s final words before he died.

• Maiev severed Dathrohan’s arm, rescued Old Mograine, and joined Thassarian, Velinde, and the others in defeating him.
• Korth'azz arrived after the battle and led his death knights away with Dathrohan’s ruined body.
• Maiev urged Velinde to return and help Dick search for a way to resurrect Anveena, but Velinde stayed in Silverpine Forest to protect its civilians.

• General Abbendis told Brigitte that Renault had opened the defenses to the undead, urged her to flee, and died during the attack.

Dick ordered preparations to return to the Northern Frontier after learning that Ashbringer Mograine had been gravely wounded and Uther was probably imprisoned in Naxxramas. Meanwhile, Senxia’s party reached the Tol’vir city of Orsis to search for something Dick urgently needed.

• Liadrin reported that the Scourge had seized the land from Darrowshire to Corin's Crossing, and Dick told her he would lead the Argent Dawn north within twenty days.
• Dick sent Jaina to gather his new subordinates from the Badlands and ordered a request to Princess Caliea for the Anubisath to join the campaign.
• Senxia’s archaeologists, including Brann Bronzebeard and Dr. Harrison, excavated a buried temple in Uldum while pirates guarded the site and hired Tol'vir workers.
• Brann found ancient runes naming Uldum, unaware that the Titans had built it as a climate research center capable of reshaping Azeroth.
• Senxia, Tony Twofangs, Das, Demitier, and Naisha entered Orsis in disguise to obtain something important to Dick before he arrived.

Senxia’s party created chaos in Orsis so Naisha could search the Pharaoh’s Palace for the scepter, but she found many possible scepters and kidnapped the Pharaoh as well. The group regrouped at an oasis with their loot and decided to flee before the Tol’vir could retaliate.

• Senxia’s party split up in Orsis to gather information, and Naisha reported that the scepter was inside the Pharaoh’s Palace.
• Senxia’s crew staged a three-part distraction: Demitier posed as a Black Dragon, the pirates looted and set fires in the city, and Das drew the Pharaoh’s elite guards away from the Palace.
• Naisha found a secret chamber containing more than a dozen scepters, collected them all, and captured the Orsis Pharaoh.
• Naisha escaped the Palace as Orsis burned, while Demitier and the pirates fled the city with their companions and plunder.
• Senxia’s party regrouped at a Uldum oasis, where Senxia saw the captured Pharaoh and the chest of scepters and decided they should move before the Tol’vir pursued them.

Dick arrived in Uldum and obtained the Scepter of Orsis after swearing not to misuse the Forge of Origination or rule the Tol'vir. His oath ended the Orsis Tribe’s ancient mission, and Senxia and the others later returned safely to camp.

• Dick traveled to the ruins of the Halls of Origination and learned that Brann and Dr. Harrison had been unable to enter the temple.
• Senxia’s group fled Orsis soldiers searching for their missing pharaoh, while Senxia stayed behind to hold off pursuers and Naisha carried the pharaoh toward the ruins.

• Dick reached the Cradle of the Ancients with the Ark of Promise after finding it in the Sun Obelisk’s secret chamber.
• Dick placed the ark in the valley, triggering a wave of light that reshaped the barren land into a thriving ecosystem.

• Dick opened the ark and found a Platinum Disc marked with the Titans-script word “Hope.”
• Dick recognized the Platinum Disc as the key to opening the Forge of Origination and headed toward the Halls of Origination to awaken Anveena.

Dick entered the Halls of Origination with Brann Bronzebeard, Dr. Harrison, Naisha, and others to seek Titanic Energy that could resurrect Anveena. Anhuur the Guardian trusted Dick and allowed him and Brann to enter the Land of Creation, where Rajh and the other Creators awaited.

• Dick took Brann Bronzebeard, Dr. Harrison, Naisha, Das, and Demitier into the Halls of Origination after the other archaeologists and Senxia's pirates left Uldum.

• Anhuur sensed Brann's fate and allowed him to accompany Dick into the Land of Creation, while Dr. Harrison stayed behind with Das and Demitier.

Dick and Brann met the Four Creators in the Halls of Origination and learned that the guardians, dragons, and Creators were separate lines, with the Creators prepared to reshape Azeroth if the Old Gods won. Dick accepted the burden of trying to kill Yogg-Saron, received Azeroth’s World Blueprint as the Crown, and unlocked the next stage of the Titans Path.

• Anhuur introduced Dick and Brann to Isiset, Ammunae, Sethes, and Rajh, the Four Creators who guarded the Halls of Origination.
• Anhuur explained that the Titans had established the Creators as a secret final reserve to maintain the world after it was reshaped, while guardians and dragons served separate roles.
• Rajh, Sethes, and Isiset revealed that they would activate the Forge of Origination if Yogg-Saron escaped, and said Dick had earned their trust by killing C'Thun.
• Dick angrily confronted the Creators over the burdens and lack of choices forced upon him, then agreed to try to kill Yogg-Saron.
• Rajh gave Dick the Crown containing Azeroth's World Blueprint and directed him to claim Norgannon's promise and continue the Titans Path.
• The Titans Path announced that stage three was complete and unlocked stage four, sending Dick to Ulduar to awaken guardians and obtain Val'anyr and the Hammer of the Ancient Guardians.

Dick brought the Feathers of Light to the Forge of Origination and used its energy to try to revive Anveena, despite being offered the power for himself. Anveena returned and reunited with him.

• Brann left Dick and Anhuur after learning Dick was one of the Guardians, pleased with his gemstone souvenir.
• Anhuur showed Dick the conduits sustaining the Elemental Plane and warned that reshaping the world could erase Elune’s memories and destroy the Star Spirit.

Theramore and its allies gathered at Blackwood Lake as the forces preparing to retake the Northern Frontier received powerful reinforcements. The arrival of the Earthen Legion and the Anubisath War Guard left the commanders readying for war, while Dick was expected to arrive in three days.

• Darion recognized approaching forces as seventeen Anubisaths marched to Blackwood Lake with Jaina and Marshal Gath'riss.
