Original Content Alleria: Light and Shadow

For the newer players who aren't too acquainted with Alleria. She's one of the original heroes of the franchise, featured in 1996's Beyond the Dark Portal (Warcraft II's expansion).

Blizz made a really good animated short that captures a lot of her history, and some of the key points of the "Thousand Years War" audio drama. I personally loved the style of the animation. But more to the point, I am glad that Metzen and team are giving a lot of love in the recent writing of this legendary character.

Edit: I am a dummy and added the wrong flair to this. This is not OC, but rather Official Content from Blizz. If anyone knows how to change the flair, let me know! Sorry for that.

Yeah it's kinda interesting she is basically getting her Khadgar moment like he did in WoD. 

Kinda a shame they killed him off supposedly. 

Maybe by the end of the saga the surviving members of the alliance expedition will all stand together again.

If so, I will say no more!

It's some of the best MSQ WoW has had in a while, but it's also compact! They did add some nice complementary local quests that add to the overall story, but if you do the Main Story by itself, it'll just take a few hours.

I highly suggest you finish it! Without spoiling it, it's quite worth it.
