Horde

Orc
fiercest conquerors
Unlike the other races of the Horde, orcs are not native to Azeroth. Originally, they lived as shamanic clans on the lush world of Draenor. They put aside their peaceful culture when Kil'jaeden, a demon lord of the Burning Legion, the corrupted and used them to avenge the draenei, exiles from Kil'jaeden's homeworld.

History of the orcs

Kil'jaeden's plan worked. The orcs drank the blood of Mannoroth, a major general of the Burning Legion, which imbibed power and enslaved the Legion. Exposure to fel energies turned the natural brown color of their skin in a pale green. Under the influence of the devil, orcs almost exterminated the draenei, but Kil'jaeden went beyond ...

With the orcs at their disposal, the Burning Legion invade Azeroth planned again. To do so, the corrupted human archmage Medivh hatched a conspiracy with the orc warlock Gul'dan to construct the Dark Portal, a huge structure that would allow the orcs into Azeroth.

Upon reaching Azeroth, the troops orcas unstoppable Horde razed Stormwind human kingdom. However, human resisted and were able to defeat the Horde and enslave most of the survivors, but a slave boy named Thrall, supported by the Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer, fought to free the captive orcs. Orgrim died in combat, and Thrall inherited the post of Chief of War and Doomhammer, Orgrim's weapon. Thrall led his people to Kalimdor, where his friend and mentor, Grom Hellscream sacrificed to defeat Mannoroth and freeing the orcs forever the yoke of the Legion.

Years later, Thrall returned to Draenor, now known as Outland, to stop once again to the Legion. There, he convinced Garrosh, son of Grom Hellscream, to join the Horde. Thrall Garrosh saw a worthy his successor, but the uncontrollable aggressiveness and impulsive young Hellscream led him to commit heinous acts against the Horde itself. Thrall was forced to depose appoint Garrosh and Vol'jin, the control head of the Darkspear tribe, new Warchief of the Horde. With the vivid memory of the betrayal of Garrosh in the minds of the other races of the Horde, Thrall and the orcs must again demonstrate that they have left behind their old destructive impulses.

Durotar
The arid, harsh land of Durotar is home to some of the toughest creatures on Azeroth. Unsuspecting travelers may be victims of poisonous scorpids, fierce or angry crocolisks quilboar. Thrall decided to settle in this inhospitable area after the Third War as penance for past transgressions of orcs. He named the land with the name of his father, Durotan, former Warchief Frostwolf Clan. After the cataclysm, many orc settlements were flooded or destroyed and soldiers Northwatch in Tiragarde Keep have become more aggressive than ever. As relations between the Alliance and Horde worse, it is essential that the orcs contain these threats quickly to ensure the survival of its people.

Capital city

Orgrimmar

Named after the former Warchief of the Horde, Orgrim Doomhammer, this capital was rapidly constructed when the orcs first settled in Durotar. Garrosh Hellscream has recently rebuilt most of the architecture of the city and now Orgrimmar's strengths are among the most impressive of Azeroth. Sharp metal towers line the city streets and red and black banners of the Horde wave from every post. Most of the various races have been separated into their own districts, from the tauren in the Valley of Wisdom to the trolls of the Valley of Spirits. Fort Grommash towers rise above all, allowing Garrosh Hellscream closely monitor their people.

Paradigm

Thrall

Thrall followed the dictates of shamanism to reform the Horde, becoming his Warchief and leading his people to settle in a barren land which he called Durotar in honor of his father Durotan. Thrall led the Horde through a seemingly endless series of penalties: the eradication of the curse of the demon blood that had corrupted the orcs, an attack of the Burning Legion in Mount Hyjal and the fall of the fearsome Lich King. When Deathwing returned and devastated the world, Thrall resigned as Warchief of the Horde to join the Earthen Ring, a powerful shamanic group, in an attempt to placate the elements and stop the Destroyer.

Wolf

Long ago, the orcs tamed the large and ready wolves of Draenor. These huge dogs became the preferred companions of orcs in addition to their favorite means of transportation. The wolves unshakable temperament makes them especially suitable for fighting big dams. When the orc warriors turned and invaded Azeroth, their wolves were bred for more size and strength so that they could carry riders with their armor into battle. The fearsome wolves remain the favorite mounts orc fighters and can be purchased in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar.

Alianza

Human
Defenders of the Realm

Recent discoveries have shown that humans are descended from the barbaric vrykul, half-giant warriors who live in Northrend. Early humans were essentially a segregated and tribal people for several thousand years, until the rising strength of the troll empire forced them to unite. That was how the nation of Arathor was formed, along with its capital, the city-state of Strom.

History of human

After centuries of peace, the city states of Arathor, increasingly independent, they were divided into kingdoms west, Gilneas; northwest, Alterac, Dalaran, and Lordaeron; southwest, Kul Tiras; and the southern end, Stormwind. Strom was renamed Stromgarde and remained a powerful kingdom.

However, the Horde orcs came to Azeroth and Stormwind reduced to rubble. Survivors of the city, including the young prince was Varian Wrynn, fled to Lordaeron, where the leaders of the seven kingdoms decided to rejoin as the Alliance of Lordaeron. Together, they managed to defeat the Horde, but the peace of the Alliance proved to be short-lived.

On the occasion of rising maintenance, Gilneas and Stromgarde renounced their kingdoms of the Alliance, after which came a plague that thousands of human lives claimed and turned them into undead servants of the Lich King. The Lich King Arthas Menethil manipulated, the prince of Lordaeron, to kill his own father and go to Northrend, where it merged with his master and became the next Lich King. Over the next five years, he remained in Northrend Arthas plotting his plan and expand his army.

However, before Arthas could unleash the power he had accumulated, humans and other races joined forces and won a hard victory. Members of the Horde and the Alliance launched separate campaigns in Northrend, and his attempt led to the defeat of the Lich King.

The kingdom of Stormwind has become the strongest bastion of humanity and the greater strength and multiracial Alliance. Now, the people of Stormwind is governed by the principles of honor and justice, with defending their settlements and their allies.

Elwynn Forest
Peaceful wooded land south of Stormwind seem quieter than ever with the fall of the Defias Brotherhood, but the inhabitants of Elwynn Forest are not free of duties. There are fields to plow, to work in mines and cut wood. For despite all its grandeur, Stormwind would not last long without a steady supply of food and resources to feed its population. This exchange has been threatened with invasions Kobold, atrocious conflicos between farmers and wild animal attacks. Northshire Abbey remains dedicated to recruiting and training adventurers brave enough to help restore peace and order in the area. Likewise, the Blackrock orcs gather their forces in the nearby Redridge Mountains. With the forces of Stormwind more scattered than ever, these renegade orcs prepare a final attack on their old human enemies in Elwynn Forest.

Capital city

Stormwind

No city better demonstrates human determination than Stormwind. Destroyed during the first invasion of the Horde to Azeroth, Stormwind was painstakingly reconstructed by the Brotherhood of bricklayers after the Second War.

Fortunately, there are parts of the city that were not affected and today present a superb aspect, thanks to the hard work of its inhabitants. From the magnificent Cathedral of Light, significant spiritual center, to the inspiring Valley of Heroes, which commemorates the sacrifices of Stormwind's loyal champions, the city represents the courageous heart of humanity.

Deprived of his memory and enslaved by a trainer of gladiators Horde in Kalimdor, Varian earned his freedom by force, and the nickname "Lo'Gosh" or "ghost wolf" in the battle was won.
