Blizzard has put up a little preview for patch 2.1 on the official World of Warcraft website. If you're looking for a list of patch note, you won't find 'em here, though. The preview deals mainly with the backstory of the Black Temple, which we have attempted to retell below.

Long before the Draenei were massacred by corrupted orcs, the Black Temple was known as the Temple of Karabor, the center of Draenei worship. After the massacre, it was seized and rechristened as the Black Temple by the warlocks of the Shadow Council. The Council ruled over the Black Temple for years until they fell to the Alliance's invasion of Draenor.

The next one to claim the Black Temple as a seat of Power was the demon general Magtheridon. There, the pit lord bolstered his orc army with Legion forces streaming in through the portals. Magtheridon might have gone unchallenged if Illidan the Betrayer did not decide to take the Black Temple for himself.

Magtheridon proved no match for Illidan and the Twin Blades of Azzinoth. After returning to Outland, bloodied by the Death Knight Arthas, Illidan established his throne on the Black Temple. There he awaits any and all challengers to his rule, determined to maintain his grip on Outland.

Downloadable goodies include a cool new Black Temple wallpaper (you can see a bit of it in the image to the right). The new Black Temple trailer is also available for download as well as for streaming. To check it out, click on the read link below.
