Learn more about the Frostwolf Orcs:

While this part of the story took place before World of Warcraft, the events are covered in World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume 2 which we wrote a detailed recap for as well as a spotlight on the Rise of the Horde.
The Frostwolf Orcs are a Horde faction in Warlords of Draenor, with themed items like Schneller Frostwolf and Frostwolfwelpe to purchase.
An alternate version of Ga'nar is found in Frostfeuergrat in Warlords of Draenor. Throughout this zone, we follow Ga'nar through his journey as a hot-headed warrior learning to respect Durotan's mature leadership. He dies in a similarly heroic fashion in Die Schlacht am Donnerpass, buying Drek'Thar enough time to collapse Thunder Pass and crush the Iron Horde.
In alternate Frostfeuergrat, Fenris joins the Iron Horde, kills his father Garad, and captures his brother Ga'nar. You help Ga'nar and Durotan defeat Fenris in the quest Der Eisenwolf.
Durotar is named after the great Durotan and players can visit the memorial Fels von Durotan in Alterac valley. In Warlords of Draenor, alternate-Durotan is one of the main characters, with major questlines in Frostfeuergrat, Gorgrond, Talador, and Nagrand. He's also present in the Archimonde encounter with Grommash and Yrel. He does not join the Iron Horde and instead allies himself with Thrall (without knowing they are related) and Vol'jin's forces.

Mag’har in Burning Crusade

Here are the related quests you can complete in game:

The Der Assassine questline in Hellfire Peninsula will introduce Horde players to the Mag’har.
is the main Horde faction in Nagrand. Many players enjoy completing this reputation grind for mounts like Zügel des kobaltblauen Reittalbuks. Exalted is also needed for Mag'har von Draenor and Der Diplomat.
Reputation can be gained from killing Kil'sorrow cult members, Murkblood Broken, Warmaul and Boulderfist ogres in Nagrand. Players may also turn in 10x Obsidiankriegsperlen, which drop from these ogres
To unlock the Thrall questline in Nagrand, you must first complete the Murkblood questline (Das Totem von Kar'dash), Lantressor of the Blade (Nachricht für Garadar), and Altrius the Sufferer quests (Konstruktionslager: zerstört).
The quest series to have Thrall learn about his ancestry starts with Ein Besuch bei der Großmutter and ends with Held der Mag'har.
A major questline involving Aggra and Thrall together is the Elemental Bonds series. In this quest, Thrall has been attacked and trapped in the Elemental Plane, and while things look grim, Aggra enlists our help and saves him.

Garrosh Hellscream

Important moments with Garrosh in-game:

In Es gibt keine Hoffnung, Thrall grants Garrosh a vision of the past, showing that while his father Grom Hellscream may have been the first to drink from the Blood of Mannoroth, he also sacrificed himself to rid the orcs of the Blood Curse.
In the pre-Wrath storyline, Garrosh grows frustrated with Thrall’s cautious approach towards the Scourge and they start to fight, only interrupted by a Herald of the Lich King.
In Northrend you can find Garrosh as the leader of the Kriegshymnenoffensive, with their base in Borean Tundra. This faction is meant to led the Horde Expedition forces against the Scourge, but some members are hotheaded.
Some important parts of Garrosh’ character development took place outside of the game. In The Shattering, we learn that the Twilight Hammer orchestrated an attack to ruin a peaceful meeting between the Alliance and Horde, which Carine blames Garrosh for. The two agree to fight to the death, but Garrosh receives an unfair advantage as the Grimtotems infuse poison into Gorehowl. Furious that he has been tricked and the victor of an unhonorable duel, Garrosh turns against the Grimtotems, driving them out of Thunder Bluff.
In Cataclysm, Garrosh serves as an aggressive Warchief but maintains a sense of honor. When one of his generals bombs a grove of neutral druids in Stonetalon Mountains, Garrosh throws him off a cliff (Sehen ist verstehen).
In the novel Tides of War, we see Garrosh grow even more power-hungry, destroying Theramore with the Focusing Iris and alienating many of his supporters. The build-up to this event was not seen in-game, but in the pre-patch content for Mists of Pandaria, players can experience the destruction of Theramore in the Theramore’s Fall scenarios.
Throughout Mists of Pandaria, Garrosh further alienates all of his allies. In the Dominance Offensive questline, Garrosh steals the Divine Bell, using to infuse the Sha into his soldiers, before Anduin transforms the bell with the Harmonic Mallet.
Garrosh also orders an assassination attempt on Vol’jin, which players can experience in the scenario Ein Dolch im Dunkel.
Tensions rise in Patch 5.3 Escalation when Garrosh proclaims the Darkspear traitors of the Horde. Vol’jin then leads the Battlefield Barrens Campaign, where boh the Alliance and Horde support the Darkspear Rebellion.
Garrosh continues his excavations of Pandaran artifacts, finding the heart of an Old God in the Dark Heart of Pandaria scenario. Throwing the heart into the sacred pools of Vale of Eternal Blossoms greatly corrupts the zone. The Alliance and Horde must then capture Garrosh in the final MoP raid Schlacht um Orgrimmar.
Garrosh is the final boss of Siege of Orgrimmar, infusing himself with the power of the Heart of Y’shaarj and wielding Xal'atoh, entweihtes Abbild von Blutschrei. Some notable loot from Siege includes Koloss der Kor'kron and Mannoroths Hauer. Players that defeat Garrosh before Warlords also acquired the Zügel des Kriegswolfs der Kor'kron mount.
Another important part of Garrosh’s story then takes place off-screen. In the novel War Crimes, Garrosh is put on trial for all of his atrocities. However, he is able to escape with the help of Kairozdormu, a rogue member of the Bronze Dragonflight who created the Vision of Time. This artifact was used to chaos chaos at the Temple of the White Tiger, where everyone fought mirror images of each other and Jaina was seriously wounded, while the two escaped.
In the short story Hellscream, Kairoz wanted to use the Vision of Time to open portals through multiple dimensions, recruiting different variations of the Horde to Azeroth to fight the Legion. Garrosh wanted to be nobody’s pawn, and stabbed Kairoz with a shard. Players can help create the Vision of Time in Patch 5.4 (Eine Vision in der Zeit)

Formation of the Iron Horde

Grommash Hellscream, I have traveled far and sacrificed much to stand in front of you. I am here to defy what fate has dictated for you and all orcs." "Slavery. The loss of our souls and everything that makes us great," the stranger said with finality.

The path to the Warsongs' slavery will not come from war or defeat. Your fate will be accepted freely and gladly," he said, raising his voice, "and it will be you, Grommash Hellscream, who will insist on being first to tie yourself to the orcs' new masters. The rest will follow. We will never recover.

‘"The stranger believes the fate of this world rests upon my choices," Grommash said, lifting the glass. "He also claims the proof lies within this. Prove him wrong and he will die here. Show me the truth, one way or the other."”

"Hellscream can bear it. He can overcome it. The corruption will not be the end." Tears streamed down Zhanak's face. His voice was laced with joy and hope. "One world in ruins, but the other stronger than ever. Hellscream's sacrifice saves us all. You've seen it…"

“Drink Hellscream. Claim your destiny. You will all be conquerors.”
“And what Gul’dan, must we give in return?”
“Everything...”

Ow well when you put it like that, let me take a big old gulp. Ow wait SIKE no I’m not.

“Demonic giggle. You would reject this gift?”
“And did you bring these mongrels here just to watch you DIE?”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!”

Warcraft 3

“This was not our destiny.”
“Times change”

Ow man ow man ow man what a cool intro cinematic for an expansion. Hey dad that’s not really my dad, CATCH!

“We will never be slaves!”
“But we will...be....conquerors.”

Learn more about the story:

Much of this story takes place out of game, which can make it difficult for players to follow along.
You can read the short story Hellscream online, which covers Garrosh meeting Grommash, convincing him to defy Gul’dan, and showing him partial visions of what happened to the original Grommash drinking the Blood of Mannoroth.
You can also read the comic ”Guldan and the Stranger” which shows Garrosh in disguise questioning Gul’dan’s motives and proclaiming the Orcs will never be slaves.
The short story Code of Rule then covers how the Highmaul Ogres join the Iron Horde. Highmaul is then the first raid of Warlords of Draenor.

Warlords of Draenor Story

‘How dare you show your face here warlock.”
“You promised conquest Grommash yet brought these clans to ruin. Your men have died for nothing!”
“My soldiers died with honor!”
“Giggle...Did they? And what about your son?” “Garrosh...my....son...”
“You have lost everything. There is only one choice. DRRRRINK, and fullfill your destiny.”
“Your poison...would damn us all!”
“Your iron will is legend. I will enjoy breaking you.”
“Who will be the first to accept this gift? Power such as mine for any willing to serve.’
“Kilrogg...”

‘You would be the first Hellscream. You were destined to be my greatest champion and instead you chose...this. You have no vision. Behold, what a true seat of power demands.”
“A citadel of hellish fire worthy of my masters. A monument to entomb the souls of all who would dare to defy us.”
“They will defy you. I’ve seen their forces in battle. They are fearless. It does not matter what vile creatures you summon to the battle, they will persevere. Their resolve is unbreakable. They will come. They will fight. And they will wash their blades of your blood in VICTORY!”
“Fight if you must Hellscream. It is no matter. In the end we all serve the Legion...”

“You...you don’t think it’s over.”
“Gul’dan and the devils that command him are not so easily banished. I fear this is only beginning.”
“If you ever need us, we will be here.”

Learn more about the Warlords of Draenor expansion:

Warlords of Draenor is WoW’s 5th expansion. Main features included revamped character models, the Garrison System, competitive Challenge Modes, attunements for flying, Toy Box and Heirloom collections, and Timewalking holidays.
Questing Zones: Tanaandschungel, Nagrand, Spitzen von Arak, Talador, Gorgrond, Frostfeuergrat, Schattenmondtal
Dungeons: Obere Schwarzfelsspitze, Der Immergrüne Flor, Grimmgleisdepot, Schattenmondgrabstätte, Himmelsnadel, Auchindoun, Eisendocks, Blutschlägermine
Raids: Schwarzfelsgießerei, Höllenfeuerzitadelle, Hochfels

In the first half of the story, Grom appeared to be the main antagonist. The players deal with the effects of the Iron Horde in each zone, as we continue to build Garrison outposts to establish our presence. We defeat the ogres in Hochfels, an ally of the Iron Horde, and then defeat the Iron Horde in Blackrock Foundry.
The plot of Warlords of Draenor went through several revisions, including a truncated story in Gorgrond involving AU Orgrim Doomhammer, hints at a potential Shattrath raid and expanded story for Yrel, and content in the zone Farahlon. Of particular interest was the gamescom announcement that Grom Hellscream would be the final boss of Warlords of Draenor—which turned out not to be the case. Nobody knows why Warlords of Draenor had so much cut content, or why some plot lines were abandoned, but one theory is that the expansion was meant to highlight characters in the Warcraft movie and the studio delaying release dates, on top of confused player reactions to the AU timeline, orc-heavy story, and max-level gameplay critiques, led Blizzard to shift development focus onto future expansions.
In the second half of Warlords of Draenor, the focus shifts to Gul’dan taking over and corrupting the Iron Horde for his own purposes. The Alliance and Horde work to defeat Gul’dan and the headquarters for the Iron Horde, Hellfire Citadel, in Tanaan Jungle.
Hellfire Citadel is the final raid in Warlords of Draenor. You may still be interested in running this for the chance at items like Teufelsstahlvernichter and Unheilsklinge.
Hellfire Citadel is located in Tanaan Jungle, a zone filled with rare spawns, mounts, and pets. Check out our guide if there’s any interesting things you want to farm!
During the Archimonde encounter, Yrel and Grom assist players in defeating this boss. However, Gul’dan is still able to escape, setting into motion the events of Legion—stealing Illidan’s body, breaking the Pillars of Creation, bending the Legion to his will.

Recruitment ScenarioChronicles volume 3

In all known realms of the cosmos, time flows forward, ever forward. Chaotic energies in places like the Twisting Nether can affect how quickly it flows, but it only flows forward. Once an event happens, it cannot be changed. These events and choices, made up of all creatures and forces in the cosmos, join together like a river, sharing the same reality. Different choices and different possibilities naturally spin off the river of time like small creeks and estuaries, ebbing and flowing for a while. If these shadows of what could have been are left alone, they will eventually dissipate into nothing. If efforts are made to preserve them (or alter them), they can indeed remain in existence indefinitely. They can even be made to feed back into the main river – dead creatures can seemingly ‘live again, ‘ and the past (or future) may literally come back to haunt you. This is not a natural phenomenon, and the inhabitants of the main timeway will often find these experiences to be quite alarming. But the only timeway that has a permanent effect on the cosmos is the main timeway. Creatures like the bronze dragons, who have command of temporal magic, can see all the countless tributaries of alternate universes and timelines, and they can even more back and forth along the stream to observe the past and the future. If the main river is disrupted, it could spell doom and disaster. All life on Azeroth depends on time to flow ever forward. Without the surety that the sun will rise and set each day, the seasons would not pass, the cycle of life would become meaningless, and all living creatures would eventually die from being unable to sustain themselves. It is the most sacred mission of the Bronze Dragonflight to keep that from happening.

“Enough of this wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... BLAH! Just let me smash stuff!”

“Try spending a few decades trapped on a planet with fanatical draenei and see how YOU like it!”

Every Battle for Azeroth build, the Wowhead team datamines all the broadcast text and arranges it to guess at upcoming plot points. We have done so with the Mag’har Orc Recruitment Scenario. While this does not cover the actual combat part of the scenario, it explains how Eitrigg recruits the Orcs and how Sylvanas opens the time portal.
The Mag’har Orc were first teased at the January 30th Q&A, when Ion listed Draenor Orcs as an Allied Race. At this point, we’d datamined an “Orc Clan” armor set.
After this announcement, speculation on the backstory of these Orcs increased. Because Saurfang is displeased with Sylvanas at the Battle for Lordaeron and an initial version of the Horde scenario had him requesting a meeting with Anduin, players speculated that perhaps the Mag’har Orcs would join the Alliance. However, when the jokes and flirts were datamined, this confirmed that the Mag’har Orcs were for the Horde, and more specifically, they were from AU Draenor instead of the clan from Burning Crusade Nagrand. The dialogue lines included mentions to Warchief Hellscream, the chiropractor in Orgrimmar, and the abandoned Garrison in Frostfire.
During the Battle for Azeroth alpha we datamined an updated model of Grommash wearing the Mag’har heritage armor and looking significantly aged.
We’ve also datamined a map of Gorgrond, which could be the Allied Race hub for the Mag’har Orcs.

Different Clans in the Allied Race

Learn more about this Allied Race:

The Wowhead Dressing Room lets you preview all skin tones for the Mag’har Orc race, as well as other customization options. We also have screenshots of all the Male and Female customization options.
The Heritage Armor sets, available for leveling a Mag’har Orc to max level without boosts, also reflect the varied clans. There is a red Warsong tint, black Blackrock tint, and blue Frostwolf tint.
Each Allied Race has distinctive totem models. You can check them out on the related Allied Race pages – Dark Iron Dwarves, Highmountain Tauren, Zandalari Troll, Mag’har Orcs.
Learn more about the Shadowmoon Clan through the Alliance questline in and collect the Shadowmoon Regalia transmog from the Garrison. In Andenken an die Ahnen, we learn from Rulkhan that Garrosh forced the Shadowmoon Clan to join the Iron Horde, and Ner’zhul was forced to demonstrate a source of power to Garrosh or else the clan would be killed anyway. So Ner’zhul then called upon the power of the Void, channeled through the power of the dormant Naaru K’ara, otherwise known as the Dark Star. In the quest Die Dunkelheit kommt, Velen and Yrel try to stop Ner’zhul from summoning the Dark Star. They are unsuccessful but AU Velen sacrifices himself so the Dark Star can be purified.
Learn more about the Laughing Skull Clan through the Horde questline in Gorgrond. The Laughing Skull clan wishes to preserve their identity and not join the Iron Horde, so they seek Allies with the Horde and the Frostwolf Clan. Horde players can earn reputation with the Orcs des Lachenden Schädels through building a Garrison Trading Post. Rewards include transmog items like Goldmaske des Lachenden Schädels.
Learn more about the Blackrock Clan through the Horde questline in Gorgrond and Blackrock Foundry Raid. They were one of the first clans to join the Iron Horde, given special weaponry instructions by Garrosh in disguise. They were ultimately unsuccessful, as we defeated their leader, Blackhand, as the final boss of the raid. Notable transmog items include Die Schwarze Hand and Blackrock Plate.
Learn more about the Shattered Hand Clan in Spitzen von Arak, a zone they claim for their own, encountering resistance from the Alliance, Horde, and arakoaa. This clan joined the Iron Horde early on. They were led by Kargath Bladefist, who cut his hand off to escape imprisonment by the ogres. You can replicate his appearance with Die Messerfaust.
The Warsong are the clan of Grommash Hellscream, and the title of warchief was passed down to Garrosh when Grommash took control of the Iron Horde. You can experience the story of the Warsong in Nagrand where Alliance and Horde foces, led by Yrel and Thrall, breach the city of Grommashar and confront Garrosh. Thrall eventually challenges Garrosh to a mak’gora and wins. You can get their armor for transmog via Warsong Armor.
The Thunderlord are a clan of hunters who joined the Iron Horde, against the wishes of the Frostwolf Clan. You can experience their story in Frostfeuergrat, where we learn the leader is the brother of Durotan. The Frostfire must eventually defend themselves from the Thunderlords and the Iron Horde in the heroic Die Schlacht am Donnerpass. You can get their armor for transmog via Thunderlord Garb.
The Frostwolf Clan defied the call of the Iron Horde and seek to defend themselves, which is the main story of Frostfeuergrat. In this zone you will encounter AU versions of famous lore figures like Durotan and Draka. The Frostwolf have their own faction, Frostwolforcs, with rewards like Frostwolfwelpe and Schneller Frostwolf. Through reputation via Vol'jins Kopfjäger, players can also acquire Ensemble: Schlachtrüstung der Frostwölfe and Schlachtrüstung des Frostwolfkämpfers.
