       Blackmore ran the Durnholde internment camps where what remained of the orcish horde had been imprisoned after the second war. He ruthlessly thirsted for power and prestige and held no love for the orc prisoners in his care. This was all apparent to his most famous prisoner, Thrall the future orc warchief.
       Blackmore found Thrall when he was just a baby, shortly after the ambush and murder of Thrall�s parents. He raised Thrall to be a gladiator, but that was just a cover for his true plans. Blackmore hoped to use Thrall to lead a new Horde against the Alliance that would bring much reward to himself.
       Blackmore was killed when Thrall had Durnholde leveled.

       Guardian of Azeroth, Aegwyn stood as one of the members of the Order of Tirisfal, a group dedicated to protecting the world from the burning legion. Endowed with substantial power, she was able to defeat the fallen god Sargeras and entomb him beneath the raging maelstrom.
       Aegwyn married Nielas Aran and bore a son. She poured forth the entirety of her power to her child in order that he may succeed her as a Gurdian in the Order of Tirisfal.
       However, Sargeras was able to impart a portion of his chaotic spirit in to the soul of Aegwyn�s unborn son, Medivh. Aegwyn had protected Aezeroth from the Legion, but through her son, the Legion would find a tool to invade the land once more. After discovering her son�s depths of madness, she informed King Llane of his treachery.

       The Queen of the Red Dragons, Alexstrasza is well known to mortals. After the destruction of the Well of Eternity, Alexstraszha would aid the Night Elves along with others of her kin. She would plant the acorn at the heart of the well Illidan created that would grow to become Nordrassil.
       Using an artifact known as the Demon�s Soul, Alexstraza and her children were for a time, enslaved by the Horde and used as their force in the skies. Many a Griffon rider would fall to the flames of red dragon riding orcs. For years the reds struck fear into the hearts of Alliance warriors. However, when Rhonin freed Alexstrazha from the grip of the Demons� Soul and the will of the warlock Nekros, her rage was the stuff of legend. The mighty dwarven fortress of Grim Batol shook as the great red queen extracted blood as payment for her servitude.
       Now, her and her children have taken over their rightful place in the world as guardians of sacred areas. Chances are if you find one of Alexstrasza�s children you are near a source of power and divinity.

       Race (Class):
         -Red Dragon Queen

 
 

       Azshara was the Queen of the nearly immortal Kaldorei in the time before the destruction of the Well of Eternity. She created a palace of immense splendor on the shores of the well. It was here that the Quel�dorei or �high borne� lived and served her. Though she herself was not hated, the elitist Quel�dorei most certainly were. Azshara orderd the Quel�dorei to study the Well and discern its purpose in the world. Eventually as time went on, the Quel�dorei began to master primitive magic. Their belief in their own superiority grew as their power increased. The Well, which was contained the essence of all magic, chaos, was slowly twisting the Night Elves who used it.
       Azshara reveled in the power the Well granted her and eventually she heard a call from beyond. Sargeras the Lord of Chaos and father of the Burning Legion, sensed the power that emanated from the well and sought it for himself. He courted the queen and bent her to his will. She opened a portal and the Legion poured into Azeroth for the first time. The felhounds, infernals and Doom Guard destroyed her people but she did not care, she and the Quel�dorei simply held the spell and waited for the arrival of Sargeras. Illidan Stormrage would warn her of his brother�s plan to kill her and end their spell to bring Sargeras in to the world. During the fight with Furion, Tyrande and the rebel forces, the spell was broken. The chaos of the magic gone awry would send ripples through the very soul of the world. The Well would break apart and collapse in on itself even as the one continent of Kalimdor would break apart into the ones known today. Where once was a landmass surrounding the massive lake known as the Well of Eternity, there now was a handful of broken continents with a Maelstrom of magical energies swirling in the sea between them. Where the Well once stood only the Maelstrom remained.

       This great elf ranger known as Alleria witnessed the destructive forces of the Horde when she was looking for her family among ashes of the old city of Quel�Thalas.
       Her legendary hatred for the Orcs drove her in the land of Azeroth where she led elite troops of rangers to hunt Bleeding Hollow clan orcs. Sent in Draenor during the Third War, she supposely died, probably during its explosion, in year 606.

       Raised in the kingdom of Azeroth, Anduin Lothar spent his whole life serving the nation he considered his own. Proud and brave, Lothar soon became part of the King's guardiands. Several months later, he accepted the quest to find the Holy Book, an adventure from which he nearly died. As soon as the holy writings were back in Northshire's Church, Lothar took the head of Azeroth's armies and engaged in battle against the Horde. After the devastation of Azeroth by the Hoard, and the king assassinated, Lothar brought his brothers back together and lead them to the safe shores of Lordaeron.
       Lothar swore to avenge sooner or later his king and all his friends who died for the Alliance. During the second war, helped by Uther and admiral Daelin Proudmoore, he succeeded in bringing his troops to victory inpushing back Doomhammer's clans out of Lordaeron to the lands of Azeroth, controlled by Orcs. During the siege of Blackrock Spire, Lord Lothar was killed by Doomhammer himself who charged them from behind. His death was not in vain, since it brought his troups the rage they needed to make Blackrock Spire fall, and win the Second War.

       Antonidas ruled over the Kirin Tor, a group of magicians who rule over the magic kingdom of Dalaran, up to year 624. His health condition was getting worse, and he was forced not to leave his beloved city. His apprentice, Jaina Proudmoore, served him as eyes and ears in the vast outside world. Antonidas patiently waited the day he would transmit Jaina all his powers and responsabilities. Alas for him, this moment was rushed forward by the siege of Dalaran from Kel'Thuzad's armies. Even with the help of his apprentices, Antonidas could not stop the Scourge, and died from the hands of Arthas.

       Race (Class):

       Sargeras looked to the demonic race known as the Eredar to find his leaders. Kil�jaeden was chosen to recruit the dark races of the universe and Archimonde the Defiler was chosen to lead those armies into battle. When looking for someone to serve him, Archimonde looked no further than the Pit Lords and chose the most powerful one among them, Mannoroth. It would be Archimonde and Mannoroth who would lead the assault on the world tree at the end of the third war.
       After the undead Scourge and the Legion itself had smashed the armies of the Alliance, it was Archimonde who would destroy their greatest city. The magical towers, libraries and halls of Dalaran were toppled by the magic and will of Archimonde alone. Survivors speak of seeing the wizard�s spires crushed and toppled as if by an enormous disembodied hand.
       A massive creature, he towered above other demon�s like Mannoroth as a giant among giants. When the Legion made its final assault on Nordrassil, the World Tree, Archimonde himself would be the one to try and fell the great tree. Had he been able to uproot it his power would have been unstoppable, but the Druid Furion Stormrage laid a masterful trap for the arrogant demon lord. Just as victory lay within his grasp, scores upon scores of wisps, the very soul of the forest itself detonated themselves in unison. The massive drain of magic so enormous that the power immediately unleashed itself in an explosion not seen on the world since the destruction of the Well of Eternity. Nordrassil was made barren of leaves and the trees for miles upon miles laid down as if by the hands of gods. Some say that Archimonde lived and was merely banished from the world. Others believe he was destroyed as no being, god or mortal, could have survived such and explosion.

       Son of King Terenas, Arthas was a member of the Paladin Order of Light. Tutored under the respected Uthar Lightbringer, Arthas was not only the heir apparent to the throne, but also potentially to the leadership of the Paladins as well.
       Trained in the ways of war by none other than Muradin Bronzebeard himself, Arthas was not only a capable healer, he was a potent warrior as well. Arthas however, would become a traitor to humanity on a magnitude equal to that of Medivh.
       Arthas was one of the first to discover what the plagued grain created of those who consumed it. Seeing his country men warped and twisted into undead abominations, ghouls and skeletons, Arthas snapped. Villages of his own countrymen were burned by him and his forces. Arthas would slay the Necromancer Kel�Thuzad only to discover that the Scourge had been unleashed and there was no hope of stopping it. Driven mad with hopes of vengeance against the perpetrators, Arthas joined Muradin Bronzebeard in a quest to find the fabled sword Frostmourne. Having been abandoned by his mentor Uthar and his friend Jayna, Arthas had only vengeance left in his soul. The prophet Medivh warned him of what was to come. But the proud and obstinate youth had nothing but blood on his mind.
       Frostmourne however, was not a blade of salvation. In truth it was a blade of damnation, whose sole purpose had been to capture and corrupt Arthas� soul. The Lich King had chosen Arthas, and the blade shaped him into a creature of anger, vengeance and misery. So complete was its hold over Arthas, that Muradin, his friend and teacher, was the first to fall victim to its thirst for death. As a Death Knight, Arthas returned to his homeland and slew his own father.
       With his former kingdom in shambles, Arthas would lead the Scourge to crush the elves of Quelthalas all the while aided by the specter of Kel�thuzad. Eventually he would restore the Necromancer to a state of undeath as a Lich. Together they lead what would be the shock troops of the Burning Legion.

       Race (Class):
         -Human / Undead (Paladin / Death Knight)

 
 

       A feared warrior and imposing figure, Blackhand was the warchief that appeared to command the Horde during the first war. Perhaps Bloodlust had to great a hold over him or he was simply the weak minded fool his predecessor Ogrim thought him to be. Whatever the case, Blackhand was never truly the leader of the Horde during his time as warchief. He was manipulated subtly and overtly by the Warlock Gul�dan. During the first war the bloodlust rage imposed by the Burning Legion burned within the orcs. They fought savagely and with little strategy. Blackhand did little more than point his forces at his enemies and let their savagery and numbers do their work.
       Durotan father of Thrall was the first to truly speak out against him. Had Gul�dan not been working behind the scenes, Blackhand may have fallen from the internal power struggle. However, Blackhand survived with the political aid that Gul�dan maneuvered behind the scenes. He would send his assassin sons, Rend and Maim out to finish off Durotan. Blackhand�s treatment of Durotan and his mismanagement of the war eventually created more enemies. Ogrim Doomhammer, a close friend of Durotan would eventually gain the backing of the Horde after removing Blackhand�s head and presenting it to his people.

       The well respected leader of the Alliance naval forces in the second war. His bravery on the seas and strategies with his fleet were unparalleled. His greatest gift to his people may however, be his daughter, Jaina.

       Race (Class):
         - Human (Admiral)

 
 

       The wise and even tempered chief among a tribe of Kalimdor Tauren, Cairne will forever hold a special place in the hearts of the orcish people. Having barely survived the trip across the sea, Thrall and Gromm�s warriors were scattered and more than a little disheartened. Kalimdor was not like the green and fertile human lands. It was rugged, rock strewn mountains broken by wild and unbroken prairies. So without Cairne and his guidance and acceptance, it is difficult to say what may have happened.
       Thrall helped protect Cairne and a beleaguered caravan he was leading against a marauding band of Centaurs. From there a bond of friendship and mutual respect was formed between both the leaders and their people.
       It would be Cairne who would tell Thrall of the oracle at Stone Talon Peak and it would be he who lead him there. Deep within the bowels of the moutain, Cairne and his mighty Tauren warriors would help to get the group across the moonbridge and meet the prophet. There in the dusty halls, Thrall, Jaina and Cairne would learn from the prophet Medivh of the coming of the Legion. It would be at that moment that the fate of the world hung in the balance. Perhaps Thrall and Jaina would have come together without Cairne�s influence, but many historians insist that the measured and honorable approach to life that Cairne lead, helped to reinforce Thrall�s own ideals of honor. His best friend and second in command, Gromm Hellscream was all to willing to shed blood, so thinking that Cairne was a positive influence is not a large stretch to make.

       Race (Class):
         - Tauren (Chieftain)

 
 

       Member of the fifth circle of the Shodow Council and chief of the Twilight�s Hammer clan, Cho�gall was one of the most terrible and most respected chief of the Horde. He was one of the first Ogremagies in History. He learnt magic before Horde even invaded Azeroth. Gul�dan taught Cho�gall everything about evil energy. Cho�gall was sure his clan had a sacred mission: to annihilate every nation. He was killed on the orders of Doomhammer, just after he quitted the Horde to accomplish Gul�dan will.

       Race (Class):
         -Orgre (Ogremagi)

 
 

       Veteran mercenary of the Stormgarde milicia and hero of the Second War, Danath acquired a great leader reputation during the final battle of Khaz Modan. He lived for a while in New Stormwind, in Azeroth, as a supervisor of the prison camps where Orcs were held. Sent in Draenor, he disappeared when that world collapsed.

       Race (Class):
         -Human (Knight)

 
 

       A Quei�dorei who served under Alzhara, he longed for the embrace of magic and all its consequences. He would grow to view the Druids as weak and cowardly due to their refusal to embrace magic. He would lead an attack on the Druids and eventually be exiled along with all his followers. They would cross the sea and eventually found the city of Quel�Thalas. The father of the High Elves, he is not remembered kindly among the Kalimdorei.

       Race (Class):
         - Night Elf (Quel'dorei Mage)

 
 

       The mighty black dragon and his Dragonflight were the bane of dragon kind. Many of the greatest of Aezeroth�s dragons have fallen to the evil Black and his minions. Since the destruction of the Dragonflight and the scattering of the Black in Kalimdor none have seen Deathwing. Some assume him dead, others do not feel the world is that lucky.

       Race (Class):
         -Black Dragon King

 
 

       The Ogre-mage Dentarg was a good servant of Ner�zhul of the Shadow Moon Clan. He was called to rally of the unsubdued clans in war times. His job also consisted in making sure all clans were respecting the absolute autority of Ner�zhul. Maybe he succeeded in following his master through the portal at the end of the Third War. Nobody knows.

       Race (Class):
         -Ogre (Ogremagi)

 
 

       The leader of the Frostwolf clan and father of Thrall. Durotan realized that Blackhand was nothing but a puppet of Gul�dan and he openly defied the warchief. Gul�dan outmaneuvered Durotan politically and had him banished. He worked tirelessly to convince his friend Ogrim of the treachery and deceit that propped up Blackhand�s command of the Horde. He knew that the Horde was doomed when lead by someone as weak minded as Blackhand and as power hungry as Gul dan. Blackhand did not simply forget him, he sent his sons Rend and Maim out to ambush him. They would ambush Durotan and his wife, leaving the Frostwolf clan leaderless and an infant Thrall to die in the wilderness.

       Race (Class):
         -Orc (Chief, Frostwolf Clan)

 
 

       After the Titans forged the world of Azeroth and created the continent of Kalimdor, they left 5 great dragons to act as guardians. Though they can spend eons in slumber, the dragons have been roused to fight enemies of the world and even at times each other.

 
 

       Garona was born in Azeroth. She was captured by humans and saved from death because of her human side. However, she lived as a slave but escaped and joined the Horde. She served Gul'dan and was accepted in the Shadow Council as a translator and a very educated person.
       Garona became Gul'dan's personal spy and assassin; he treated her like his daughter. She was involved in the death of king Llane and the destruction of Northshire abbey. When Gul'dan fell into a misterious deep sleep, Garona was captured by Doomhammer who wanted to know all the secrets of the Shadow Council. Tortured, she finally escaped for a second time and no one ever heard of her again.

       Race (Class):
         - Half-Orc (Assasin)

 
 

       The leader of the warsong clan, Gromm is someone to whom Orcs either think of fondly or use as warning against the darker side of orc nature. Gromm was born on Draenor and was one of the first to be corrupted by the Legion�s Chaos Curse.
       Gromm remained on Draenor for the First war but he and the Warsong clan made their presence felt at the end of the second war. With the destruction of his home world and the closing of the portal, Gromm was trapped on Azeroth. A warrior of unquestioned valor, courage and skill, Gromm and his orcs would remain free of the human slave camps.
       The desire for blood and war never really left him, although his faith in his people also remained strong. It would be a young orc with impossible ideals that would ultimately convince him to decide to follow the honorable shamanistic ways of his heritage instead of the curse of his blood. Thrall was a proud warrior but also showed traits many orcs had forgotten like mercy and faith in themselves. Gromm would eventually come to believe Thrall when he said the Orcs could be something more than slaves and bandits.
       However, in the third war, Gromm�s loyalty to Thrall would be tested. Gromm did not especially like the idea of fleeing Azeroth. Cowardice was something no one who valued their life would accuse him of. But he followed Thrall out to sea and past the deadly Maelstrom. After becoming separated Gromm gathered everyone he could find and started a small settlement. However, he would discover that humans had fled as well and had taken up residence not to far away. After reuniting with Thrall, Gromm would defy his orders and attack the humans. Lacking faith in Gromm, Thrall ordered him to the prepare a settlement in the forest.
       Gromm�s blood could feel the proximity of the Legion and it burned to feel the fire of bloodlust again. So when the Night Elves attacked his camp, Gromm lept at the chance to fight. An outpost of Night Elves fell as did a wide swath of the forest. This enraged Cenarius the �Keeper of the Grove� a magical demigod, Cenarius was impervious to the orcish weapons. Facing this foe was what created an opening for the Legion. Once more Mannoroth the Pit Lord, gave of his blood to corrupt the orcs and once more, Gromm and his warriors willingly accepted it in order to embrace the power it gave. The chaos infused orcs were able to defeat Cenarius handily.
       Thrall realized that Gromm had become nothing more than a puppet for the legion to slow down Thrall, Cairne and Jayna as they made their way to the world tree. In a fierce battle in which Infernal warriors rained down from the sky, Thrall and Jayna were able to cleave a path to Gromm and capture him alive. Together they conducted a ceremony which freed Gromm once more from the Choas Curse.
       Knowing that with an army behind them, the demon would not show, Gromm and Thrall went out alone to meet the demon known as Mannoroth. Seeking vengeance for the corruption of his soul and those of their people, Thrall and Gromm fought a pitched battle against the massive demon. After knocking Thrall out of the battle, the demon believed his hold over Gromm�s blood would end the fight. But his arrogance was repaid with a mighty blow by Gromm�s axe. The wound released the chaotic energies that raged with the demon. The fires burst forth and consumed Gromm much as the way the demon�s blood had burned his soul. But this time when the flames died, Gromm was not left as a mindless puppet, but as a leader of his people who had sacrificed his life so that they might have a chance at freedom.

       Race (Class):
         -Orc (Blademaster)

 
 

       Favored pupil of the powerful warlock Ner�zhul, Gul�dan was obsessed with power beyond reason. When his mentor rejected the will of Kil�Jaeden, it was Gul�dan who the demon turned to. Where as Ner�Zhul saw the eventual enslavement to the Legion�s will, Gul�Dan only saw power and embraced it. Gul�dan gained in power and stature amongst the Horde. He outlawed shamanism and forced the study of dark magics on his people. Ner�zhul could only watch as Gul�dan corrupted and twisted the orcs into a ravenous pack of bloodthirsty warriors..
       Gul�dan created the shadow council, a network of orcs with power that could be wielded behind the scenes. He propped up the brutish thug Blackhand as the puppet warchief of the Horde. The wizard Medivh contacted Gul�dan from Azeroth and together they planned the invasion of the human lands.
       The horde was a mindless entity under Gul�dan and Blackhand. The first war almost annihilated the forces that were sent from Draenor. Ogrim Doomhammer beheaded his puppet warchief and Gul�dan barely managed to keep his head on his own shoulders. Knowing he was doomed without Ogrim�s blessing he did everything he could to make himself important to the new warchief. But he was merely biding his time. When he learned of the tomb of the demon lord Sargeras, he jumped at his chance. Just as Ogrim stood on the verge of outright victory, Gul�dan gathered forces loyal to him and set off to find the tomb, thus ensuring Ogrim�s defeat at Lodaeron.
       Gul�dan found the supposed tomb where he thought ultimate power awaited him. Instead of the god-like demon, Gul�dan simply found demon�s who had been driven mad by their incarceration. He was ripped apart where he stood. Once Ogrim�s forces found the traitors who backed Gul�dan they met similar fates as well.

       Illidan embraced the power of the Well from the time he first tapped it. He drank of its power as a man drinks of water in the desert. It was life itself to him. His brother, Malfurion though had discovered that with the power came a price. Though Illidan was ready to pay it, Malfurion could not. At first Illidan stood by his brother�s decision to rally a force to stop the queen. He loved his brother and loved Tyrande perhaps even more. Yet when he learned that Malfurion intended to destroy the well, he could not bare the thought of life without magic�s caress.
       He betrayed his brother and his secret love by warning the Queen of their impending attack. Even though casting a mighty spell to bring Sargeras in to the world, the Queen and her Quel�dorei guards were ready for Furion and his allies. The battle cost many lives and almost Tyrande�s as well. Not wanting to risk losing the well or its power Illidan grabbed a few flasks of its water and escaped before the battle caused the well to break apart.
       Illidan survived the cataclysm and made his way to a lake at the base of the sacred Mt. Hyjal. There he poured the contents of his vials into the lake. With its contents emptied into the waters, the lake was sparked into becoming a new Well of Eternity. When Malfurion and the rest of the Night Elves found Illidan they were shocked. They knew that the Legion would now have reason to return. For his crimes, Furion and Cenarious crafted a cage for Illidan and imprisoned him in the darkness far beneath the surface of the world.
       It is only in 624 that Tyrande freed him, thinking that Illidan could help her fight the demons. Wanting to prove to his brother that he was still loyal to the Night Elves, Illidan killed all the Felwood demons.
       Manipulated by Arthas, the Demon Hunter used the powers of Gul'dan skull to destroy Tichondrius and his minions. He succeeded in killing the Lord of Nathrezim, but alas, the vicious powers of the skull turned him into a demon. Later, Malfurion saw him under his new appearance, and Illidan was banned of Ashenvale. He was never seen again.

       Jaina is the daughter of the famed Daelin Proudmoore. Before she left for school in Dalaran, her relationship with Arthas was a tabloid affair. The whole kingdom was abuzz with the impending courtship. Fate had other ideas, and the two agreed with her becoming a mage and he a king, that the relationship couldn't last.
       Jaina studied under the most powerful mages in the world. Home to the Kirin Tor, before its fall Dalaran was known for its magical schools and powerful students. A student of the famed Antonidas she had exceptional potential as the Third War began. Many even believed she would eventually lead the powerful magical order.
       A childhood friend of Arthas, Jaina accompanied him in the first days of the scurge plague. Having not seen the Scourge first hand, neither she nor Uther could stand to participate in his �cleansing� of his own people.
       Unlike Arthas, Jaina heeded the words of Medivh. Realizing that there was no hope in defending the plagued continent of Azeroth, Jaina rallied what was left of her people and set forth to Kalimdor. There on the top of Stone Talon Peak she threw her forces together with Thrall�s to stand and face the Burning Legion. Jaina and the last of the alliance forces stood at the base of Nordrassil in defiance of Archimonde. It was under her leadership that the alliance forces fought a delaying action as Malfurion Stormrage set his trap.

       Kargath was always wearing a glove with sharp blades to replace his lost left hand. Its pitiless tenacity and its tactics were worth to him the rank of chief within the frightening Shattered Hand clan. Just like Hellscream, Kargath always released his troops on unprepared human armies for bloody victories. He died during the destruction of his own world, Draenor, fighting under Ner'zhul's will.

       A promising magical student in the Violet City of Dalaran, somewhere along the way his promise turned to a thirst for power. Kel�Thuzad drifted into the darker arts of necromancy and at some point came under the influence of Ner�Zhul the Lich King.
       Ner�Zhul placed the mage in command of cultivating a cult within the ranks of the human alliance. Feeding on the darker sides of the human mind, the necromancer managed the gradual cultivation of the cultists in and around the greatest population centers of the human kingdoms. The cult kept their activities secret from authorities and buried themselves deeply into crevices within society.
       It would be Kel�Thuzad who would oversee the distribution of the plagued grain that would start the Scourge's march of terror. With the grain corrupting the souls of the bodies of those who ate it, the Scourge literally burst forth from within the ranks of the human alliance itself.
       Even though his necromancer had performed admirably, Ner�Zhul apparently decided to allow him to die well before the might of the scourge was fully realized. Prince Arthas and Jayna Proudmore cut Kel�Thuzad down, however, the Lich King had other plans for him once the young Prince had been won over..
       The new pawn of the Legion, Arthas, would transport the remains of Kel�Thuzad to the elvish lands and restore him to life. In gathering the remains of the necromancer, the young prince slew Uthar Lightbringer and even desecrated the remains of his own father. The importance of the necromancer to Ner�Zhul was great indeed. After returning to this world as a powerful Lich, Kel�Thuzad would perform his most vital task for his master in the ice crown glacier, the seduction of the Death Knight Arthas away from the influence of the Burning Legion.
       Speaking only to Arthas, the Lich slowly convinced the Dread Knight that his fortunes lay with the Lich King Ner�Zhul and not with the Dreadlords of the Legion. Either by design or luck, when the demon Archimonde fell at the base of the World Tree Nordrassil, the Lich King�s army was still in tact and had two powerful leaders in Kel�Thuzad the lich and Arthas the Death Knight.

       Khadgar was the first mage to ever become an apprentice of Medivh. Most failed horribly, killing themselve accidentally or leaving before they reached apprenticeship. Khadgar was different though, he had been considered one of the most resourceful young mages in Dalaran.
       His resourcefulness may have been the reason he was sent away. Khadgar was very good at finding out secrets about people. Lothar had Khadgar keep an eye on Medivh, and eventually had to help destroy the crazed mage.
       While under the tutelage of Medivh, Khadgar learned many new things. When the time came, it was Khadgar who destroyed the Dark Portal. While Khadgar was a powerful mage, he wasn't able to destroy the rift between the worlds.
       Khadgar would go with Turyalon through the rift to Draenor. There he would help stop the orcs from opening more portals to other worlds. Khadgar's fate is not known, for Draenor was destroyed when Ner'zhul opened too many portals at one time. It is hoped that he and the other Alliance forces were able to escape Draenor.

       Kil�jaeden the Deciever was one of two of the demonic race known as the Eredar, chosen by Sargeras to lead his legions. Kil�jaeden�s given task was to seek out an army for the Legion. An army made of the forces of darkness whose soul purpose would be to rage against the forces of order throughout the universe. His first victims were the Nathrezim another race of demon whom are most commonly known as Dread Lords. Tychondrius would become his general and with the help of the Dread Lords, Kil�jaeden would search the myriad of worlds to find forces capable of serving in the armies of the Legion.
       A promising race of powerful warriors was found on Draenor. The orcs were warlike and proud, what was more palatable to Kil�Jaeden however, was an extreme thirst for power in many of their leaders. Originally he hoped to corrupt their greatest warlock Ner�zhul and bend him to the will of the legion. Kil�Jaeden quickly discovered that the crafty orc was not going to break easily. The orc worked to get secrets from the demon even as the demon worked to manipulate the warlock. The demon finally decided that although Ner�zhul was the most powerful among the orcs, he was not going to be the puppet he needed. The demon would instead turn his attention to a pupil of Ner�zhul�s. Ambitious and power hungry, Gul�dan was everything the Deceiver wanted and soon the lesser, but still powerful warlock was commanding the horde as Kil�jaeden whispered promises of power and glory.
       Kil�Jaeden had Ner�zhul abolish shamanism and push his people into the darker magical arts. The orcs became blood thirsty and annihilated all their enemies on Draenor and within their own ranks. The clan had nothing left to consume when finally a call from Azeroth reached the ears of Gul�dan. Medivh, a human mage, wanted the orcs to help him crush his father�s kingdom and offered to open a portal from Draenor to his world. Kil�Jaeden was well aware of Azeroth and the power it held. The Legion had been beaten there twice before. Once in an attempt to take the Well of Eternity from the Night Elves and again when Sargeras fell to Medivh�s mother, Aegwyn. The Legion hatched a plan and the orcs were encouraged to accept Medivh�s offer. The Horde would be sent to soften or even destroy the protectors of Azeroth and then the Burning Legion would step in to take control.
       All did not go according to plan. The Orcs were defeated in part due to the mindless bloodlust created by the demon�s chaos curse. The Legion was not pleased with the orcs and Kil�jaeden returned to Draenor to punish those who remained. Ner�zhul foresaw the defeat of the Horde and the Legion�s subsequent displeasure and had taken steps to try and break the Legion�s hold over his people. He sent his trusted lieutenants Gromm Hellscream and Kilrogg Deadeye back to Azeroth to secretly steal artifacts to open gates to other worlds� The hope being that they could hide from the Legion and be free of them. Just as Ner�zhul and his most loyal tried to escape the dying world of Draenor, Kil�jaeden returned and caught them as the portal traversed the Twisting Nether.
       Kil�jaeden took great pleasure in his torment of Ner�zhul. The warlock was ripped apart but yet remained conscious and aware of the pain and hopelessness of his existence. Ner�zhul�s agony was limitless while in the clutches of the demon. However, the demon eventually realized that he could find another use for the crafty warlock. He drew ice from the coldest reaches of the Nether and incased the warlock within it. The magical nature of the ice amplified the warlock�s already potent powers and he found his consciousness amplified exponentially. Kil�jaeden was convinced that Ner�zhul would serve him faithfully as the Lich King, now that he understood what price awaited him should he fail the demon again. With the power to bend the wills of mortals and corrupt the souls of the dead, Kil�jaeden sent his new general across time and space to crash at the base of the Ice Crown Glacier in Northrend.

       A clan leader loyal to Ner�Zhul he remained behind on Draenor when Gul�dan�s forces invaded Azeroth. When Ner�zhul called on Gromm and himself, he lead expeditions to Azeroth to claim artifacts of power for use in opening the portals on Draenor. As Draenor was torn apart by those vary same portals, he and Gromm lead an attack to push back through the portal to Azeroth. Gromm would escape, but Kilrogg would spend the remainder of his days within an Alliance internment camp.

       Successor to the heroic King Llane, Terenas had big shoes to fill. No sooner had Terenas become comfortable as king, the horde once more began pouring through the gates from Draenor. When Gromm and Kilrogg�s armies invaded, the alliance was slow to react and Terenas less effective than Llane and getting the elves and dwarves ready to retaliate. He did however decide on the rather bold strategy of sending his most revered general and powerful mage through the portal to destroy the last of the Horde. His detractors say the idea was Turalyon or Khadgars, but his supporters claim that as king ultimately the decision was his. The action was a success and Terenas commissioned a great hall to be erected within Stormwind in remembrance of their sacrifice.
       History is not as forgiving of Terenas for his handling of the third war however. Many thought the orcs should be exterminated. Others believed they should be freed. Terenas waffled and maintained the status quo. All current conflicts with orcs are often blamed on Terenas. After all, he had the opportunity to destroy the race once and for all. Or so the common folk believe. But by far his greatest failure was his lack of decisiveness in response to the Scourge. His son Prince Arthas, warned him of what was coming and the people have never forgiven him. Few remember that the revered Uthar Lightbringer and respected Jaina Proudmore doubted Arthas as well. What they remember is the scores of dead claimed by the Scourge and Terenas� inability to do anything about it.
       Terenas never made much of an attempt to reunite with the elves or the dwarves. Turmoil within his own court was even above his ability to calm. Even though Arthas turned against his people and his family, many believe that if Terenas has supported his son, the Scourge could have been stopped and Arthas saved. However, Terenas did little and in the end, was slain by his own son. Corrupted by Frostmourne, the only human who truly understood the Scourge and what lay in store, had been won over by it.

       Malfurion studied the Well of Eternity as did all the Quel�dorei. However, unlike most of them, Malfurion realized the danger the power within the well presented. He watched as his queen and her loyal Quel�dorei became corrupted and manipulated by their thirst for its power. When Alzhara opened the gate for the Legion, Furion would be one of the first to take up arms against them.
       A romance blossomed between he and the Priestess Tyrande. This caused tension between he and his brother Illidan but all quarrels seemed to be buried when they united to fight against the Legion. The battles raged and the Night Elves seemed doomed as long as the portal was kept open by the queen and her minions. Furion even believed that it was the well itself that was to blame and they must destroy it as well. Being unable to give up magic and its embrace, Illidan betrayed Malfurion and Tyrande as they tried to attack the queen.
       Malfurion succeeded however, and was able to bring about the destruction of the Well of Eternity. The cataclysm ripped apart their homeland but rid them of the Legion. Malfurion would gather what remained of the Kalimdorei and even the remnants of the Quel�dorei and take them back to Mt.Hyjal which had luckily survived the sundering of the continent. When they arrived they discovered Illidan�s treachery as they witnessed the rebirth of yet another Well.
       Still loving his brother but knowing that nothing good would befall his people as long as Illidan remained free, Malfurion talked to Cenarius and they constructed a prison. Deep under the crust of the world, in total darkness and far from the presence of magic, Malfurion imprisoned his own brother and returned to rebuild the homeland of his people. Forsaking the darker arts of the Illidan and the Quel�dorei, the night elves learned Druidic magics and helped to replant and renew their lands.
       Awakened and disturbed by the cataclysmic destruction of the Well, the dragons eventually came to investigate. Malfurion and Tyrande talked to the greatest among them and they decided that an enchantment was needed to guard against the return of the legion. Alexstrasza, Ysera and Nozdormu helped create Nordrassil the Tree of Life to stand guard over Mt.Hyjal and the Night Elves. As its mighty branches scraped the sky, the druids entered hibernation. In exchange for the powerful magics imbued in the tree, the druids must give of themselves sentries of their lives to sleep and live amongst the �Emerald Dream�, that Ysera heralds from.
       Malfurion and the Druids would wake and tend to the forests of Ashenvale and then sleep again. The creatures of the forest such as the Furbolgs and Quilboards returned and the nightelves flourished. Eventually however, the Quel�dorei grew restless and with the Dath Remar stirring the pot they soon began a revolt. They longed for the power of magic and began to view the druids as cowards for refusing to use it. Eventually they would attack Ashenvale in an attempt to convince the druids to change their minds. However, they had not practiced magic in centuries and they were defeated by the druids. Furion and the rest of the druids could not bare the thought of destroying so many of their kin, so they opted to exile them instead.
       As the last of the Quel�dorei, or High Elves as they had begun to call themselves, left for other shores, Malfurion once more entered the �Emerald Dream� leaving Tyrande to defend the forest.

       A mountain of a Demon, Mannoroth was the Pit Lord whose blood binded the Horde to the will of the Legion. The Pit Lords are not as crafty and conniving as Decievers such as Kil�jaeden and Archimonde. However, what they lack in intellect they make up in sheer brute force. Mannoroth�s massive double bladed spear was seen to have cleaved entire human buildings in twain.
       Mannoroth came to the world of Azeroth in part to extract some vengeance against the orcs. The Legion doesn�t except failure and when the orcs failed to claim Azeroth in the first and second war, Mannoroth accepted some of the blame and pain that came with it. Initially Mannoroth only wished for blood, but Tichondrius the Dread Lord saw another road to vengeance. Instead of merely destroying the orcs, Mannoroth once more enslaved them to his will with more of his blood. A forest spring was corrupted and drew the orcs to it like flies as they battled the Demi-God Cennarius. The Orcs� were sacrificed as pawns to destroy the last major obstacle between the Legion and the World Tree. Yet Mannoroth would once more have his pride wounded by the orcs when their leader was quickly defeated and released from the chaos curse by Jayna Proudmore, Thrall and Cairne Bloodhoof.
       Unable to simply walk away, Mannoroth went alone to a valley not far from the orc camp. He called out to Thrall and Gromm and waited for them to arrive. Few who fought or even saw the massive smoldering demon lived through the third war, but Thrall would be one of them. The demon shrugged off the best blow Thrall could deliver. In the mind of the demon victory was assured so rather than finish the orcs, he gloated and tried to exert his will over Gromm once more. Laughing with pride and arrogance, the demon thought Gromm had once more succumbed to the Chaos Curse and he reveled at the humiliation of his adversaries. However, Gromm fought the curse and with a blow worthy of legend, he tore a massive wound across the demon�s chest. The chaotic fire burning with the Pit Lord came streaming out and engulfed Gromm in searing flames. The fire consumed the demon and orc as well. Gromm would live long enough however, to have seen the destruction of the one who had enslaved himself and his people.

       Son of the Guardian Aegwyn and the powerful conjurer Neilas Aran, Medivh was destined for great things. However, after his mother had defeated the fallen god Sargeras, the demon lord had imparted part of his chaotic soul to the as of yet unborn Medivh, "Guardian of Secrets".
       Growing up with a well of immense, raging power Medivh was deeply troubled. On his thirteenth birthday, an eruption of power burst forth from him. So intense was it that the lands most powerful mages and clerics arrived to stem the magical eruption. Medivh entered a deep sleep when it was finally dammed, but the act of doing so cost his own father�s life.
       As King Wrynn III stepped down and Prince Llane took the throne, Medivh surprisingly returned to his people. He presented the Prince with a gift of a magical hourglass. Though sand constantly poured, the sand from the top never emptied. Medivh presented it as a representation of the people, that as long as the sand flowed, they would remain free. But the gift was little more than cruel joke for Medivh.
       The sorceror had let his mind drift across the ether of space and had made contact with a race of warriors whos bloodlust was a part of their being. A race he felt he could control and manipulate. A race he thought could be the foot soldiers in the creation of a word that he could control. The true power behind the orcs of Draenor was Gul�Dan a warlock of substantial power. However, Medivh believed hints of his knowledge of the tomb of Sargeras was enough to keep the warlock on a short leash.
       When the last of the sand truly did fall from the hourglass, the orcish Hordes lead by Blackhand the Destroyer and guided by Gul�Dan and his shadow council, burst forth from the demon gates. With this, Medivh began the first of the great wars between the orcs and the humans.
       Aegwyn informed the King of her sons treachery and a host of warriors were dispatched to deal with him. As he slept the agents of Llane cut him down. All those who were attuned to the ways of magic could feel the emanation as Medivh was locked in his death throws. Knowing that the secret of Sargeras� tomb would die with him, Gul�Dan attempted to dive into Medivh�s brain for the information. Failing to escape in time, Gul�Dan was trapped in a state of limbo as Medivh apparently drew his last breath.
       Apparently powerful enough to cheat death, Medivh returned to the world of men as a mysterious prophet at the beginning of the third war. He foretold the destruction of the world to the heros of Azeroth in an attempt to rally them against the coming of the Burning Legion. Thrall would be the first to heed his words, many never did. Rejected by the King Terenas and his son Arthas, Medivh nearly gave up on the race of men. However, Jaina Proudmore would heed his advice and sail to Kalimdor.
       It would be there, high atop Stone Talon Peak that Medivh would reveal who he was and what the Scourge truly represented. No ones knows why Medivh worked so hard to help save the world he once sought to conquer. The fact that he worked so hard, yet never fought himself, is also a mystery

       Muradin was the brother of the king Magni Bronzebeard. During the dark hours of the second war, Muradin served as a courier between Lordaeron and the dwarven kingdom of Khaz Modan.
       A tragic figure in dwarven history, Muradin was known for his courage and also for having to much faith in a former pupil of his. The weapons trainer for the young Prince Arthas, Muradin taught the young paladin the art of combat. He was close to Terenas� family ever since the Alliance formed to face the horde at the beginning of the second war.
       When the scourge first began to wreak havoc, Muradin and a small band of loyal dwarves began searching for ways to turn the tide of battle against their foes. Coming across information about a great sword of immense power, Muradin set off to claim it. Hoping against hope that with a mighty weapon in his hands, that his people could fight back the undead.
       Ravaged by the undead and the elements, his band was nearly destroyed when chance would have him cross paths with his old pupil Arthas. Muradin, driven by hope and Arthas by vengeance set out to find the sword known as Frostmourne. As they made their way nearer to its supposed home, Muradin began to realize just how corrupted Arthas had become in his quest for blood. But because of his oath to see the quest through to the end and his belief in the man he�d known since boyhood, Muradin stayed by the Prince�s side.
       Even as Tichondrius leveled a powerful force against their small outpost, Muradin and Arthas set out with a small contingent to retrieve the weapon. Upon discovering the icy home of the blade, they were warned by spectral guardians about the dire consequences ahead. But they chose to enter regardless. Muradin was able to read the inscription below the weapon and too late realized that the blade was indeed a cursed object. It was already calling to Arthas and its power already corrupting what was left of the Prince's soul. Taking up the blade, the first drop of blood the sword would taste in Arthas� hands would be that of Muradin Bronzebeard, struck down by his friend and former pupil.

       As Ner�zhul was narrowly escaping Draenor and the rest of the Horde was being rounded up and placed in internment camps, the warlock Nekros was trying to create a new fortress where the Horde could rebuild and gather their numbers. In the abandoned dwarven fortress of Grim Batol, the warlock held the Dragon Queen Alexstrazza captive.
       Nekros hopped that with the power of the red dragon�s and the safety of the formidable fortress of Grim Batol, that the Horde could rebuild itself. However, the human mage Rhonin would lead a group of warriors against them and eventually destroy the artifact known as the Demon�s Soul. With it destroyed the hold over the dragon�s was lost.

       When the demon Kil�Jaeden first came to the Horde, it looked for the most powerful among them. Ner�zhul was his first choice. Ner�zhul was promised power and wealth for the horde if only he give himself over to their will. He saw through the demon�s promises and knew that all he offered was enslavement. Knowing that Ner�Zhul would never be the puppet he wanted, the demon instead decided to whisper his promises to someone with a bigger thirst for power, namely Ner�zhul�s own pupil; Gul�dan.
       With the added power of the demon, Ner�zhul could only watch as Gul�dan outlawed shamanism and forced the orcs down the path of the dark arts. He did not accompany the orcs who left Draenor when Medivh opened the portal. He knew only madness and enslavement awaited the orcs should they succeed in doing the demon�s bidding. He stayed on Draenor and heard the reports of their defeat at Stormwind Keep and later at Blackrock spire. He knew that the Legion would not allow the Horde�s failure to go unpunished. He knew they would come to either enslave or kill the orcs that remained.
       It was then that Ner�zhul hatched his plan to open up portals to other worlds to which they could escape. However, to do that he needed artifacts of power and only Azeroth had them. Kilrogg Deadeye and Grommhellscream were sent through the portal and they attacked the unsuspecting alliance and fled back into the portal with their artifacts.
       The Alliance saw this as only the beginning of yet another full scale invasion. King Terenas ordered General Turalyon and the mage Khadgar to assemble a small army to go to Draenor and destroy the orcs forever. On the Hellfire Peninsula the armies flung themselves at each other. Ner�Zhul however, succeeded in opening the portals. Yet he did not foresee what the power of the portals would do to the world of Draenor. The mighty pull of so many portals opened at once began to tear the world asunder. Realizing that the world was doomed, Gromm and Kilrogg fought their way back through to Azeroth. The world of Draenor devoured itself and the portal to it was forever closed.
       Nerzhul escaped from the dying world through one of the portals along with his most loyal supporters. But the demon Kil�Jaeden ambushed them as they traveled the Twisting Nether between worlds. With great joy, the demon tortured Ner�zhul endlessly. Leaving him in a state of near death, forever conscious enough to feel the pain and anguish of his existence, but forever too far from death to succumb to it. Though he never tired of torturing the orc who had resisted him, eventually Kil�Jaeden found another use for the Shaman. He gathered diamond hard ice from the far reaches of the Twisting Nether and encased Ner�zhul�s soul within it. The Shaman found his consciousness expanded exponentially by the demon�s magic. Kil�jaeden had his new general but the leader needed an army. Using the souls of Ner�zhul�s captured followers, the demons crafted Liches to do Ner�zhul�s bidding. With that the Lich King was born and the ice incased body of the Shaman was sent hurtling through the heavens to land in Northrend burried deep into the Icecrown Glacier. From the fall, his ice tomb came to resemble a throne.
       From his �Frozen Throne�, Ner�zhul the Lich King spent 10 years building his power. Through the force of his magically enhanced will he enslaved the ice trolls and the Wendigo. With the use of the undead plague he destroyed the human settlements as well.
       The first kingdom to truly stand against the Lich King was not Arthas and the forces of Lodaeron. It was the subterranean kingdom of Azjol-Nerub. The spider people were immune to his will as well as his plague and would therefore need to be crushed by the Lich King�s armies. The elite guard of the Nerubians fought pitched hit and run battles against the armies of the Lich King. But aided by the Dreadlords, Infernals and hellhounds of the Legion, the temples of Azjol-Nerub eventually came crashing down. Though in life they could resist the Lich King, in death they would serve him as the Crypt Fiends and Crypt Lords that the alliance grew to loathe during the third war and beyond.
       Ner�zhul would then unleash the Scourge upon Lodaeron and the Alliances forces with the aid of the necromancer Kel�Thuzad. Everything was going according to plan for the legion. However, the Lich King was not the pawn the Legion believed him to be. He would find a champion among the humans. Prince Arthas was corrupted and manipulated by the Lich King. Unknown to Tychondrius, the greatest of Legion�s dreadlords, the Lich King maneuvered Arthas and Kel'thuzad to survive the war where the Legion did not. With the fall of Archimonde at the base of the world tree, Ner�zhul still held the vast armies of the Scourge but yet he no longer had the strength of the Legion to contend with.

       After the disaster of the first war, Ogrim seized power over the Horde by presenting it the head of its former Warchief. With Blackhand dead he revealed the machinations of the shadow council and effectively cut the knees out from under Gul dan politically. Gul dan was to powerful and to smart to simply be marginalized or killed. He swore allegiance to Ogrim and convinced him that he would serve him faithfully. With the strength of his magic the horde was able to create Death Knights from fallen alliance cavalry and he even gave Bloodlust magic to the ogres.
       Ogrim was the leader Blackhand never was. He used strategy as well as brute force and had the alliance reeling. As he stood at the gates of Lodaeron, the alliance was on the verge of crumbling. The orcs greatest chance at victory stood before them. It was then that Gul dan made his play for power. Knowing that a victorious Ogrim would no longer have any need for one as treacherous as he, Gul dan sought the something that would make his power unquestionable. He pulled a few clan leaders and their men who were loyal to him and went off to find the tomb. Ogrim lost a sizeable chunk of his fighting force just as victory was presenting itself. Instead of crushing the last remnant of Alliance strength, he found himself retreating to Black Rock Spire.
       After the demons within the tomb destroyed Gul'Dan, Ogrim�s forces ripped apart the traitors who had backed the warlock. It would be at Blackrock Spire that Ogrim would fall and Internment of the Horde would begin.

       Thrall was born into a mighty Orcish family, though this knowledge was never known to him as a child. His father Durotan had been a mighty warrior within the horde. He saw that Gul�Dan was manipulating the horde through Blackhand and he made his opposition known. Gul�Dan out maneuvered Durotan politically and had Blackhand exile him and what was to become the Frostwolf clan. Blackhand though was unsatisfied with simple exile. He sent his sons, Rend and Maim with a pack of assassins to kill Durotan and all those who followed him..
       Thrall, a mere baby, was left alive and was found by a human soldier. Though Adelas Blackmore spaired Thrall�s life, he showed him little mercy after that. He raised Thrall to be a strong and capable warrior. However, he accomplished this through pain. By ruthlessly beating Thrall, Blackmore hoped to contain the independence of his unique fighter. But Thrall was born free of the Chaos curse and was able to contain his rage. Instead of becoming the savage monster Blackmore wanted, he learned all he could from humanity. He learned much about the good within humanity, as well as the darker side of its nature.
       Escaping from capitivity Thrall would eventually find himself in the company of Gromm Hellscream. Hellscream recognized in Thrall the sense of honor and composure from the days of his youth, prior to the bloodlust of the curse. After learning of Thrall�s ancestry, Gromm realized that within the young orc lay the future of the orcish people.

On the Burning Steppes at the base of Black Rock spire he fought with the Paladins and Lothar agains the last charge of the Horde.
       Ogrim managed to slay Lothar and the effect was palpable to the alliance forces who watched their king fall. However, Turalyon rallied them valiantly and lead the counterattack which would crush the last vestiges of orcish strength.
       He would serve King Terenas faithfully as his general and oversaw the internment of what remained of the Horde. When Ner�zhul�s force poured once more into Azeroth, Turalyon took the command along side the mage Khadgar, of the forces which would travel to Draenor in retaliation. Though some orcs managed to get past his men, Turalyon managed to keep what remained of the Horde on the dying world of Draenor. No one knows if Turalyon and his men escaped, but all know that without his sacrifice, the Alliance would have had its hands full with a third orc invasion.

When the Queen opened the portal and allowed the Burning Legion�s armies to ravage their world, Tyrande stood with Malfurion and Illidan to try and stop their own Queen as well as the Legion�s army. It was during the war that Malfurion�s noble spirit won over the Priestess and by the end of it she knew that Illidan loved magic more than he could ever love her.
       After the destruction of the Well of Eternity, Tyrande helped rebuild the Night Elf lands at the base of Mt Hyjal. She would lose both the people she loved. Illidan to prison and Malfurion to the hibernation that came with Ysera�s deal with the Druids. With the birth of the World Tree, Malfurion and the rest of the druids went into the period of hibernation, leaving Tyrande and Cenarius to defend the forest. Under the care and protection of Tyrande, the sleeping Druids and the Demi God Cenarius the lands grew strong. Dath'Remar and other High Born who still longed for magic�s embrace would eventually lead a revolt against the Druids and Tyrande�s warriors. Tyrande would be reunited with her love Furion but it would be far to brief. The High Born were exiled and once more Malfurion would be called back to the Emerald Dream to sleep away the centuries.
       Time would pass and eventually a new threat would come to the forest. Orcs and humans driven from their homelands by the Scourge, began setting up camps within the Kaldorei lands. Gromm Hellscream's ferocity surprised the Night Elves who had not battled such foes in hundreds of years. Many Ancients fell to the orcs as they slashed and burned their way deeper into the forest. Cenarius came to Tyrande�s aid and with his help the orcs had little chance of survival. However, the Legion knew that some orcs still thirsted for the Chaos Curse of bloodlust and made plans to give it to them once more. Tichondrius the Dread Lord convinced the great Pit Lord Mannoroth to once more give of his blood to corrupt the minds and souls of orcs. When Gromm and his warriors drank of the defiled pool of water deep within the forest, they were given the ability to wound the formerly invulnerable Cenarius. The contingent of chaos infused orcs destroyed the woods and cut down the Demi God.
       The Night Elves found themselves in a dire situation. Orcs had cut deeply into the forest. Humans had also started a settlement as well. But the true danger was the Scourge and its arrival to Kalimdor. The blight of the undead corrupted the forest. Even the Ancients themselves were twisted into madness by it. Tyrande and her warriors could not stand alone against these three threats. She quickly began to awaken the slumbering Druids. With Furion and the other Druids at her side there was hope, but she wanted every ally she could find to save her beloved forest. Though Furion objected she went deep into the earth and released Illidan from his prison of darkness.
       The three fought valiantly but all would have been lost if the orcs and humans had not come to the Night Elves as allies. With the guidance of Medivh, the three warring factions set a trap for Archimonde at the base of the world tree. While Malfurion organized the wisps of the forest, Tyrande organized the last wall of defense against the Horde.

       Uther started as bishop Alinsus Faol's apprentice, the same bishop who was at the head of the Sacred Clergy Order of Northshire and who gave spiritual forces to humans during the First War. That man knew pretty well that faith alone was futile against the heinous Horde. A lot of people died during the First War and Uther, aware of the situation, knew spiritual weapons would not be strong enough to repel the Horde and protect the people. Uther called all the best knights of Lordaeron, and all together, they formed the Knights of the Silver Hand Order.
       With the help of all of the paladins and assistance from Lothar, Uther exterminated the orc presence in Lordaeron. He became one of the best and famous warriors of Human history. After the Second War, Uther tried to keep peace in his kingdom while taking care of his apprentice, Arthas, who will later kill his mentor while under the influence of the Lich Kin

       The great queen of the Green Dragons, Ysera and her kind stand as the guardians of nature and the very spirit of the world itself. She makes her home in the spirit world which hovers somewhere between this world and the next. Called the Emerald Dream, this world is also the home to the sleeping Nightelf Druids. When the dragons gave the Kalimdorei the gift of Nordrassil to watch over and protect them, Ysera demanded in the bargain to have the Druids stay within her realm for centuries at a time, while there bodies slept. Though some elves like the Quel�dorei detested the idea, the druids saw it as a debt owed to nature and the dragons who had given them such a gift.

       The fame of this wicked troll and the fear caused by him exceeded the borders of his territory. He was particularly famous for his war against elf towns. Zuljin gathered many clans of trolls, some nomads, some warriors, and in 604, he was at the head of the united army. Other trolls had an infinite admiration for their chief, and were ready to follow him blindly. When Elves and trolls felt the everlasting war so close and the conflict was more and more important, Zuljin understood the only solution to keep the rest of his people alive was to ally them with the Horde. Since then, Orgrim Doomhammer had axe throwers in his own army. It is unknown what happened to Zuljin after; he disappeared during the Second War.
