Product DescriptionThough the young Warchief Thrall ended the demon curse that had plagued his people for generations, the orcs still wrestle with the sins of their bloody past. As the rampaging Horde, they waged a number of devastating wars against their perennial enemy — the Alliance. Yet the rage and bloodlust that drove the orcs to destroy everything in their path nearly consumed them as well.

First of all, If you have no idea what Warcraft is then go home! This story is set in a place called Hellfire peninsula in the shattered world of Draenor. The story starts out with a young orc named Duratan, who is heir to the Frostwolf clan, befriending another orc named Orgim Doomhammer. One day, the two friends are saved by an alien race,named Draeni who befriend them and allow them to stay in their marvelous city. When they grow up a very influintial shaman named Ner’Zhul had a vision from his deceased mate who told him that the ancestors were all with an omniescent being and that he would soon get a vision from it. Ner’Zhul gets a vision from a maelevolent being named Kil’ Jaedan who tells him that the Draeni are no friends, but are instead enemies. Ner’Zhul then calls a meeting between with all the clans and send them out to attack the Draeni. The only clan that is not fighting is Duratan and his Frostwolf clan. Eventualy, Ner’Zhul gets another vision from his Mate who tells him that he was listening to the wrong being and that the ancestors will no longer answer to him. Guldan, Ner’Zhuls apprentice, betrays him and tells Kil’ Jaedan about how Ner’Zhul tried to reach the ancestors. Ner’Zhul, now a demoralized husk of his former self, no longer is a threat to Kil’Jaedan and Guldan is now incharge. uldan then sends an all out attack on the Draeni fortress along with some demons brought by Kil’Jaedan. Although, some of the Draeni, including their leader, Velen, escape. The Orcs homeworld is dying so they open a portal to another world were the land is greater.

This is a follow-up to Christie Golden’s Lord of the Clans, also contained in Warcraft: Archive.
This tale chronicles Thrall’s recording of the rise of the first Horde on the world of Draenor, otherwise known as Outlands.
I learned a lot about the dynamics of the Draenei and thigns related to WoW:TBC that I would have otherwise not know since I play Horde exclusively.
A great read that I highly reccommend.

Tells the tragic story we have all wanted to know for years and does its best to blend the Warcraft 1,2 and 3 storylines not so easy.
This book is all the more tragic because ultimatly the reader knows the ending. I thought it was great because it showed what true friends Doomhammer and Doritan were.
Everything I have come to expect froma Bilzard book.
