Overview

Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal is set in Draenor and Azeroth, where the Human Alliance enters the rift to seal it while Ner’zhul sends Orc forces to Azeroth to gather magical artefacts.

About the game

After defeating the Orcish Horde and capturing the survivors, the Human Alliance attempts to destroy the Dark Portal. Although the portal is destroyed, the rift linking the Orcs’ world of Draenor to Azeroth remains.

The Alliance decides to enter the rift and travel to the Orcs’ home world in an effort to seal it from the other side.

At the same time, Ner’zhul, Warchief of the Shadow Moon clan, takes control of the Orcish hordes of Draenor after Orgrim Doomhammer’s departure to Azeroth. He plans to send his forces to Azeroth to gather magical artefacts and try to open rifts to other worlds.
