Our elite contingent grew in the telling and was among the first in the Horde to formally welcome members of the dread Forsaken, as our spies watched the first arise under the Banshee Queen’s dominion.īoth plain as day and dismissed as rumor, our agents span all corners of Azeroth, probing weaknesses in Alliance lines and mobilizing at a moment’s notice. Sellswords and spellswords and gladiators alike joined this suicide squad, ready to lay their lives on the line both against the fiendish Alliance and the fouler fiends in the deep caverns of the world. Soon tales of their exploits spread, and they acquired new members among the Darkspear and their new allies, the tauren. They were free orcs, but they had fashioned unto themselves a new bond of servitude to the greater brotherhood that had set them free.

But this contingent of orcs found renewed purpose in Thrall’s vision and swore fealty of a different sort to him-the sacred Ogar’Regar, or oath of death. Like he, they too were thralls, and like he, they broke free. The first among us met our Warchief years ago, in the Alliance slave camp called Durnholde.
