Planning to play The War Within? Here's everything you need to know about World of Warcraft's story at the start of The Worldsoul Saga

World of Warcraft: The War Within isn't just another chapter in the 20-year history of the venerable MMORPG.

This is Blizzard's first attempt at a multi-expansion arc of stories, a trilogy called The Worldsoul Saga.
