The Battle of Theramore, first of many scenarios coming to World of Warcraft, is a story-changing event that will be available to level-85 characters for this week only — the week leading up to the Mists of Pandaria launch on September 25.

Now, you stand at the forest’s edge, and you find yourself on the cusp of a grassy, sun-soaked plain: the Valley of the Four Winds.
