        What is the difference between Weekend Warrior Experience and Hearthlands?

The Hearthguard are the only playable faction here, and whether you have never been to an event or always wanted to join the Hearthguard, this is the chance to step into their world. Never fear, the Hearthlands will still be filled with feasting and fighting and political turmoil, just like at Weekend Warrior Experience.
