What it is
Midnight brings the Worldsoul Saga to Quel'Thalas. Blizzard describes the second chapter as a fight against Xal'atath's invasion, with a Voidstorm threatening to cover the world in darkness and new or reimagined areas including Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman.
Because Midnight is live and evolving, this page focuses on the announced central conflict rather than pretending every later patch is already a finished chapter. Follow it after Khaz Algar for the current narrative order.
Midnight is a current chapter, so the guide separates confirmed setup from unannounced outcomes. Quel'Thalas brings the Void threat to a homeland shaped by the Scourge, the Sunwell and repeated invasions, giving the modern crisis a deep historical charge.
