( June 2019)The setting of the series includes many fictional. Most of the primary protagonists of the series belong to either the Horde or the Alliance. However, there are a variety of neutral races and factions, who are either friendly or hostile to both the Horde and the Alliance. In, all player characters belong to either the Horde or the Alliance, with a character's faction decided by its race.

First time posting but have been an avid reader of the forums for years now. Sorry if this has been covered before but I was under the impression that if you completed the American Revolution in Empire, that then you would be able to play the United States in the Grand Campaign? The Faction Wars 3.8. The Faction War, as the name suggests, focuses on the faction war aspect of the game, expending each faction campaign to previously ignored areas such as swamps, eventually putting one faction in control of the whole Zone. For the purpose of the mod the main story has been completly removed, and a new character and backstory were created.

The Faction War 3.7

One exception is the pandaren, who can choose to become members of either faction.By the time of the Horde and the Alliance both fight against the Burning Legion and the undead Scourge, who are the primary villains of Warcraft III. By the time of World of Warcraft, the Alliance and the Horde are not engaged in all out war any longer.

The Faction War 3.7

However, they are still hostile towards each other and skirmishes between the two sides occasionally erupt. With Garrosh Hellscream appointed as the new Warchief of the Horde in, war has once more erupted between the two factions.

This war plays a large role in the storyline of that expansion, and continues to do so in. Contents.The Alliance The Alliance has been present in some form in all Warcraft games. In all three games, the Alliance are the protagonists of their campaign, and are one of the two main protagonist factions in World of Warcraft. They are also the primary antagonists of and the orc campaigns in. The Alliance began in Warcraft II when the human kingdoms and demihumans strategically united to fend off the conquering Horde. Thus they are enemies to the Horde. The Alliance has evolved over the course of the franchise, losing allies and gaining new members, but the Alliance has endured over the years.

They are united to uphold their common noble ideals and are bound together by a sense of brotherhood forged by all the battles they've endured together. The major races of the Alliance are the humans of Stormwind, the Night Elves of Teldrassil, and the Dwarves of Ironforge. Other races who have joined or allied with the Alliance include the Gnomes of Gnomergan, The Draenei of Outland, the Worgen humans of Gilneas, and the Tushui Pandaren.The Alliance is led by a military commander who coordinates the military actions of all the races in the Alliance. The title for this position depends on the rank of the individual (e.g., Anduin Lothar was a and his title was Supreme Allied Commander.

Varian Wrynn is a and his title is High King). This title may require an aspect of diplomacy or has strong political clout as the other leaders can choose not to commit their forces to the commander if they dislike the commander's leadership. Though how much forces and resources are contributed to the war effort is left to each individual leader's discretion, when the military commander issues a call to arms, all races of the Alliance are expected to contribute.Humans Throughout the Warcraft games, the are modeled on Europe. In Warcraft and Warcraft II they were also depicted as the protagonists of the human campaigns and the antagonists of the orc campaigns. The humans fought for the side of against the Hellish orcs (though this theme was abandoned in the third game). Humans have a devout reverence for the Holy Light: an abstract deity that promotes and and grants its practitioners magical powers ranging from healing and protection, to smiting power against the undead, demons, and evil beings. After being taught the ways of magic by the high elves during the Troll Wars, humans have become one of the most proficient races in the ways of magic as well.The humans descended from an ancient tribe known as the Arathi, who conquered and united the other warring human tribes and founded the empire of Arathor and the great city of Strom, later known as Stromgarde.

The Arathi formed an alliance with the high elves of the far north after they aided them in a war against the Amani Empire of trolls. In it is revealed that humans are the descendants of mutated vrykul. By the time of the first Warcraft, seven kingdoms had arisen from the former lands of Arathor. The primary human faction in the first two games and World of Warcraft is the Kingdom of Azeroth (later renamed the Kingdom of Stormwind in World of Warcraft). The remaining kingdoms were introduced in Warcraft II, all centered in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdoms: Lordaeron (founder of the Alliance), Gilneas, Stromgarde (the former Arathi capital), Dalaran (home to the Arathi wizards, who became the Kirin Tor), Kul Tiras, and Alterac.The humans use as land mounts and griffons for flying mounts.In World of Warcraft, humans can be played as the following classes:,. The humans of Stormwind are led by the Wrynn family, who also functions as the High King of the Alliance as a whole.In, Kul Tiran humans were added as an Allied Race.Draenei The Draenei are the last of the original Eredar, who fled their homeworld of Argus to escape the corruption of the rogue titan Sargeras and his Burning Legion.

The exiled Eredar took the name Draenei, meaning 'exiled ones', and traveled through the Twisting Nether aboard the naaru dimensional ship, Oshu'Gun, and landed on a remote world, naming the planet Draenor or 'Exile's Refuge'. The Burning Legion pursued the Draenei to Draenor, having turned the orcs against the Draenei, resulting in the destruction of much of the Draenei race. After a great cataclysm saw to the destruction of Draenor, the Draenei used a satellite ship of Tempest Keep called the Exodar to abandon the world eventually arriving on Azeroth and crashing to the west of the coastal region of Darkshore on an island named Azuremyst Isle. They joined the Alliance, greatly respecting the Alliance's devout reverence for the Holy Light.Draenei have skin ranging from purple to pale blue, and both genders are relatively tall compared to humans, have cloven -like hooves, tails that resemble those of a, and dark hair.

Males often have tentacle-like appendages extending from their chin, and occasionally large, complex structures on their forehead, while females have two horns on their temples extending backwards and thinner versions of the male's appendages hanging from behind the back of the jaw.The Draenei were first mentioned in the manual, and made their first official in-game appearance in. In World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, Draenei were established to be uncorrupted Eredar, and the Warcraft III version of Draenei were established to be a mutated variety of Draenei called the 'Lost Ones', which mutated hideously from the original species upon exposure to demon magic.

The 'Lost Ones' are short, with blue skin, pure white eyes, variously colored, very short hair, and huge, open mouths, resembling zombies, and can only speak in a whisper. A variety intermediate to the Draenei proper and the Lost Ones also exists. The 'Broken', as they are called, have been twisted to a lesser extent by the same demonic forces that corrupted the Lost Ones. Their appearance lies somewhere between that of the normal Draenei and the Lost Ones. They maintain a greater presence of mind than the Lost Ones, making them able to maintain peaceable relations with members of other factions.Draenei are hard-pressed to defend the crash site of the Exodar in World of Warcraft. Surrounding it are creatures such as volatile mutations, which have been altered by the energies emitted by detached, ruptured pieces of the Exodar. Also prey upon the Draenei in the vicinity.The Draenei use elekks as their class land mount.

They do not have a race-specific flying mount, but share the Night Elves as flying mounts.In World of Warcraft, draenei can be played as the following classes: Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Warrior, Death Knight, and Monk. The Draenei have been led by the Prophet Velen since they first fled Argus millennia ago.In Battle for Azeroth, Lightforged draenei were added as an Allied Race with the following classes: Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest and Warrior. The Lightforged are members of the Army of the Light, led by High Exarch Turalyon.Draenei appear briefly in the live action film.Dryads In this franchise, the are a race of creatures that have the head, arms, and torso of a female night elf and the body of a female. They are the children of the demigod Cenarius. The dryads are considered allies of the night elves.Dwarves The are a short, strong race. The clans of dwarves, the Bronzebeard, Dark Iron, and Wildhammer dwarves, reside in the Eastern Kingdoms, in the continent of Khaz Modan.

Their skin color can be from a dark gray to a human tan. Originally they were titan-forged-Earthen that Slumbered for thousands of years that upon awakening forgot their past, and due to a recent discovery that uncovered fragments of their ancient origin, they have changed their focus to archaeology.Dwarves were introduced as a supporting Alliance race in Warcraft II, and are a playable race in World of Warcraft.The dwarves featured in the World of Warcraft patch Secrets of Ulduar, in which their origin was further expanded upon. The third Bronzebeard brother, Brann Bronzebeard, led the expedition there to learn the dwarves' history. He told the story of Ulduar's relevance to the origin of many of Azeroth's native races.Two other dwarven clans exist on Azeroth. The Wildhammer dwarves of Aerie Peak, though not playable in World of Warcraft, are friendly to Alliance characters, and they maintain the Alliance-aligned Wildhammer Stronghold in Outland and Aerie Peak in the Hinterlands.

They are largely similar in appearance to their Ironforge cousins, though their focus is on gryphon riding, rather than the grounded pursuits of the Bronzebeard dwarves. The Dark Iron dwarves are a malevolent clan, hostile to both the Alliance and the Horde. These dark grey-skinned dwarves reside primarily in Blackrock Mountain and are slaves to Ragnaros, the Elemental Lord of fire. A night elf statue at 2007.Night (or kaldorei, meaning 'children of the stars' in their native tongue) are one of the oldest humanoid races native to Azeroth. Ten thousand years ago, a schism occurred between the ruling Highborne mages and the rest of the population.

The Highborne, led by the malevolent Lord Xavius, tampered with the energies of the arcane, attracting the attention of the rogue titan Sargeras, who sent his demonic armies, the Burning Legion, to Kalimdor to try to wipe out all life on Azeroth. Thanks to the help of the Dragon Aspects which were chosen by the keepers to defend and protect the world from any threat, the night elf forces succeeded in preventing the Highborne from allowing the Burning Legion to permanently enter Azeroth, though the planet's continent was shattered in the process. The schism not only destroyed the magical Well of Eternity from which the elves drew their power, but also most of the rest of the continent, resulting in a vast ocean separating the continents of Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend, and Pandaria, with the Maelstrom in the center of the planet.The remaining night elves in Kalimdor guarded a massive World Tree, Nordrassil, which was planted over a second Well of Eternity created by the exiled night elf traitor Illidan Stormrage, who saved vials from the first Well of Eternity. Blessed by the Dragon Aspect of Time, Nozdormu, the tree granted the night elves immortality. For the following ten thousand years, the survivors lived peacefully, until the second invasion of the Burning Legion. The races of Azeroth, both Horde and Alliance, together fought the Legion at the peak of Mount Hyjal, until the elves managed to unleash the primal fury of Nordrassil, killing the demon lord Archimonde and defeating the Burning Legion.

Since then, the night elves have lost their immortality, and have planted a new World Tree called Teldrassil to try to recover it.Male night elves are very muscular, with broad chests and shoulders, indicative of the strength that lies within both their minds and bodies. Female night elves are lithe and curvaceous, yet still muscular and strong. The race's prominent eyebrows, long pointed ears and natural aspects imply a feral grace. Skin tones vary from purples or pinks to blues or a pale whitish-blue, their hair ranges in color from bright white to woodland green to an electric purple, and their eyes are either silver or amber.

Amber eyes were considered a sign of great destiny. However, in World of Warcraft, all males have amber eyes while all females have silver.Night elves were introduced as a playable race in and are a playable race in. Within the main timeframe of the series, the night elves are ruled by the High Priestess of Elune, Tyrande Whisperwind, as they have been for roughly 10,000 years.

In, Tyrande's husband, Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, returned from the Emerald Dream, in which he had been trapped for years. He now leads the night elves together with Tyrande.Like the draenei, the night elves use for transportation.However, saber cats are used as their land mounts.In World of Warcraft, night elves can be played as the following classes:, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warrior, Death Knight, and Monk. In Legion, they became one of the two races able to be chosen as a Demon Hunter.Tushui pandaren The Tushui pandarens are pandaren who follow the path of Tushui and have chosen to join the Alliance. Contemplative, disciplined and focused on abstract ideals of justice and morality, they are led by Aysa Cloudsinger, a master follower of the path of Tushui, who believes in living a venerable life through meditation, rigorous training, and moral conviction, and is attracted to the high ideals and values that cement the Alliance together.Pandaren mounts are called dragon turtles.Further information on the pandaren race as a whole can be found.Worgen The worgen are a race of creatures that resemble, but are hunched over where they walk on two legs and run around on all fours. First introduced in World of Warcraft, the first worgen were derived from an ancient druidic sect known as the of the Pack who worshiped the wild god wolf named Goldrinn. The chosen shapeshift form of these druids was the form, but these druids lost themselves to the form's savage nature and descended into feral behavior. To try to control this savage form, Ralaar Fangfire created the Scythe of Elune with the help of a priestess from the temple of the moon to try control the wolf form.

But instead of mastering their powers, the Druids of the Scythe, as they had named themselves, transformed into worgen. The other druids agreed that they must be locked away and thus put them into eternal slumber in the Emerald Dream, beneath a tree in the Blackwald in modern-day Gilneas.Worgen were announced as the Alliance's new playable race for the third expansion,. During the aftermath of the Second War, the human nation of Gilneas sealed itself behind the Greymane Wall to keep Gilneas out of what King Genn Greymane considered to be 'other people's problems'. This prevented the undead Scourge from overwhelming the nation during the Third War.

Some years later a civil war broke out in opposition to the isolation of Gilneas. During this time the worgen curse spread through the secluded nation and transformed nearly all of its inhabitants into feral worgen.

Years after the initial fall of Gilneas a partial cure is developed and administered to the worgen, allowing them to regain control. However, as they begin the process of rebuilding, the Forsaken sent a major fleet to capture Gilneas and use it as a new Horde port.

The Cataclysm destroyed the Horde fleet, saving the worgen, but also shattered the Greymane Wall and destroyed much of their land. With little choice left, the worgen formed a pact with the Alliance.While the Stormwind humans speak with an American accent, the Gilnean worgen and humans speak with an English accent.The worgen use mountain horses as their mounts as well as the ability to stretch onto four legs to move as fast as a mount.In World of Warcraft, worgen can be played as the following classes: Druid, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior, and Death Knight.

They are led by King Genn Greymane, who can be found in the throne room in Stormwind. Despite this, the Worgen capital city was Darnassus, which was shared with the Night Elves.The Horde. This article is missing information about The Horde prior to Warcraft III.

Please expand the article to include this information. Further details may exist on the. ( October 2010)In the first two Warcraft games, the Horde is made of the under the command of the Burning Legion and are enemies of the human led Alliance. The orcs attempt in both games to conquer the human kingdoms.

Eventually the Horde was defeated, most of its leaders killed, and the orcs placed in internment camps.In Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, the Horde is led by the young warchief Thrall after he led an uprising to free the orcs from the vengeful humans of Lordaeron. Thrall then led the orcs across the sea to Kalimdor after having a dream with a prophet who told him to travel across the sea to find his destiny, allying with the Darkspear trolls and the tauren.

By the time of the orc campaign in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the Horde also includes a few goblins, and it was revealed that the orcs first came from Outland, the shattered remains of their original homeworld Draenor. Later on in the reign of chaos campaign, orc commander Grom Hellscream and his men drink the blood of the pit lord Mannoroth and corrupt themselves once more, eventually leading to Grom's death.By the timeframe of World of Warcraft, the Forsaken, a faction of undead who rebelled against the Scourge, have also joined the Horde.

The blood elves join the Horde early in the storyline of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. Early in the storyline of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, Thrall steps down to deal with the, appointing Garrosh Hellscream, son of the former traitor then redeemed hero Grom Hellscream, as warchief, and the goblins of the Bilgewater Cartel join the Horde. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria saw the Huojin pandaren join the Horde.The Horde is led by a warchief (i.e., of the Horde). The Horde respects combat prowess and decisive action.

Sometimes the position of warchief is earned through war and domination; sometimes it is won through. Other times its successor is appointed by the previous warchief. They were led by the troll Vol'jin, since the ending of 'Mists of Pandaria', and are now led by Sylvanas Windrunner, since the prologue of 'Legion'.Orcs. Orc Grunt, fan art by Lucas Salcedo.serve as the main villains of the first two games, but end up becoming one of the hero factions during. Orcs are generally green-skinned muscular humanoids with large tusk-like fangs protruding from the lower jaw of their mouths.

The

Their hair colour can range anywhere from black, dark brown, to almost white, depending on the age of the orc. The orcs' skin was originally red to brown, but their demonic corruption at the hands of the Burning Legion turned them green. Valuing personal honor and the honor of their clan above all else, they enjoy the rush and excitement of battle, and before their corruption, their culture was shamanistic and channeled their aggression into hunts and contests.When the Burning Legion discovered that the draenei were hiding on Draenor, they corrupted the orcs, feeding them the blood of the pit lord Mannoroth, before using them to all but wipe out the exiled race. The orcs were then used as the Legion's primary war-machine in an attempt to invade and destroy Azeroth, through a device known as the Dark Portal. There, they were successful in their campaign against the Kingdom of Stormwind, but were eventually driven back through the Dark Portal to Draenor/Outland by the Alliance of Lordaeron, and defeated.Upon their defeat, the orcs that remained on Azeroth were rounded up and put into internment camps.

Separation from the Burning Legion eventually caused lethargy in the orcs and their bloodlust faded after a few years. It was at this time that a young orc named Thrall managed to escape his captivity at Durnholde Keep and free many of his captured brethren with the aid of another orc, Grom Hellscream, who up until that time had been able to avoid capture. The newly reformed Horde then fled the Eastern Kingdoms, sailing west. Eventually the orcs were forced to land on an island due to a storm, and there befriended the Darkspear trolls; once the storm passed they left the island with their new allies. When they reached Kalimdor, they went in search of a place they could call home, along the way meeting and befriending the tauren and their chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof, after saving them from the centaurs who constantly attacked them.The orcs were eventually led into night elf territory and fought several skirmishes against them as they attempted to set up camps. Here, the pit lord Mannoroth returned and tempted Grom Hellscream to once again drink his blood, saying that doing so would return the pride and honor of the orcs. However, once Grom and his clan drank the blood they fell back under the corruption of the Burning Legion and became rampaging war machines, thirsting for battle and blood.

Grom then led his clan on a warpath through night elf lands and slaughtered the demi-god Cenarius. However, Grom was eventually freed, and atoned for his deeds by aiding Thrall in defeating Mannoroth, sacrificing himself in the process and finally liberating the orcs from their blood pact.The liberated orcs set aside their differences with the night elves and humans to help defeat Archimonde at the Battle for Hyjal Summit.

The orcs then set out to carve a place for themselves on Azeroth in Kalimdor. They called their new homeland Durotar, after Thrall's father, Durotan. Their capital city was named Orgrimmar, after Orgrim Doomhammer, the former warchief.Up until the Cataclysm, the orcs and the Horde as a whole were led by Warchief Thrall. However, he was forced to step down as warchief in order to focus his full attention as a to mend the shattered world caused by Deathwing's return. His successor, Garrosh Hellscream, went on to lead the Horde in a much more violent and aggressive manner, preferring to engage in combat with the Alliance opposed to using diplomacy or peaceful negotiations as Thrall was known for. After Garrosh's descent into madness and eventual defeat by the combined forces of both factions, Thrall named Vol'jin the new Warchief of the Horde, marking the first time the Horde had been led by a non-orc.In, Garrosh Hellscream escapes from his imprisonment and escapes through time. Garrosh Hellscream returns to the moment just before his father Grommash Hellscream drinks the blood of Mannoroth 35 years earlier with the intention of not only stopping their corruption and their slavery to the dark legion (which ultimately leads to the destruction of their home world), but to also influence an outcome and path where the new Iron Horde (consisting of Pure-Blooded Orcs and non-corrupted Orcs) could lead a new era of Conquest.

Garrosh equips the Iron Horde with technology from his time.The orcs use as their mounts.In World of Warcraft, orcs can be played as the following classes: Hunter, Mage, Rogue, Shaman, Warrior, Warlock, Death Knight, and Monk.Orcs appear in the live action film, notable characters include Durotan, Draka, Gul'dan, Warchief Blackhand and Orgrim Doomhammer.Blood elves The blood were introduced in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne after the undead Scourge destroyed the capital of Silvermoon in Quel'Thalas and the source of their power, the Sunwell along with most of the high elf population. The remaining high elves split into two factions—approximately 10% kept their original heritage, but the rest followed Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider (who would eventually go on to betray his people, and in fact all of Azeroth) and began calling themselves sin'dorei (which in their tongue means 'children of the blood' - more commonly referred to as blood elves) in homage to their loss. With the leadership of their prince, the blood elves continued to defend their homeland from the Scourge, allying with the naga in the process.

Due to their alliance with the naga, Lord Garithos, commander of the Alliance forces in Lordaeron and Kael'thas' superior officer, charged Kael'thas and his troops with treason and imprisoned them in Dalaran. Kael'thas and his lieutenants were rescued by Lady Vashj and her naga from their imprisonment in the underground jails of Dalaran (which contained anti-magic enchantments, once used for the Kirin Tor's pets), and then used a re-opened portal to flee to Outland.In World of Warcraft, the blood elves who remained in Eversong Woods have renounced their allegiance to Kael'thas and are now led by Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron. The Alliance distrusts the blood elves and their lust for a source of magic, so their race has aligned with the Horde for the mutual benefit of reaching Outland.

Also, Sylvanas Windrunner, as the former Ranger General of Quel'Thalas, played a significant role in the admittance of the blood elves into the Horde. The capital city of the blood elves is the partially ruined Silvermoon City.Blood elves have a usually peachy skin tone and green glowing eyes. They also have a gift for magic, with a long and troubled history of magical addiction and arcane practices.

The blood elves can be divided into three distinct political factions: the playable Thalassian elves allied with the Horde, the Illidari elves in Outland loyal to Kael'thas, and the Scryers, a group of Kael'thas' elves who rebelled and fled to Shattrath City to seek refuge with the naaru. They are led by Voren'thal the Seer.The blood elves use hawkstriders as their mounts.In World of Warcraft, blood elves can be played as the following classes: Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior, Death Knight, and Monk. In Legion, they became one of the two races able to be chosen as a Demon Hunter.Forsaken The Forsaken are a rebel group of introduced in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

The Faction War 3.7 Release

Their founder and leader is, a high elven general who was killed and transformed into an undead banshee by Arthas during the undead campaign in Warcraft III. During the undead campaign in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the King's power began to wane because of Illidan Stormrage and his naga and blood elf allies attacking the Frozen Throne in Northrend, and Arthas' control over his section of the Scourge also began to wane. Sylvanas regained her sense of free will from Arthas and took charge of similarly free-willed undead, taking the name Forsaken and conquering Lordaeron.In World of Warcraft, the Forsaken have joined the Horde, though they are said to care little about their new allies.

The Forsaken control the western parts of the former human Kingdom of Lordaeron, namely the Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest. Much of these lands were tainted by the mark of undeath left behind by the plague and the Scourge, so the lands themselves are haunting, dark and deathly in appearance. Their ultimate goal is establishing a place for themselves in a world that hates them, and creating a plague capable of wiping out the undead Scourge; along with anyone who stands in their way.

Their new alliance with the races of the Horde is a relation of mutual benefit, since most members of the Alliance view them as evil monstrosities. In Cataclysm, more of the former Scourge join the Forsaken, including the val'kyr, a kind of undead vrykul who possess the ability to raise new, ostensibly free-willed Forsaken, solving the problem of their inability to procreate.Raised from the dead, skeletal horses are used as mounts by the Forsaken.In World of Warcraft, Forsaken can be played as the following classes: Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warrior, Warlock, Death Knight, and Monk.Goblins Introduced in, the are diminutive, green-skinned humanoids native to Azeroth. Early in their history, goblins were an unintelligent race used as slave labor by a tribe of trolls on their home island of Kezan. Constant exposure to a rare ore called Kajamite caused them to develop into a hyper-intelligent race that soon overthrew their masters and created a new civilization. However, the supplies of the ore were eventually exhausted and facing a slow loss of their intelligence, the goblins took to trade and exploration in search of new deposits.

During the Second War, they aligned with the Horde, providing similar technical services to those offered to the Alliance by the dwarves and gnomes. Following the Horde's defeat, the naturally mercantile race took a neutral stance in world affairs.In Warcraft III and World of Warcraft, the various goblin business cartels based out of the city of Undermine now supply both factions. Several trade princes, however, have maintained closer ties with the Horde due to clashes with the Alliance.Goblin are best known for their affinity for explosives, their signature explosives being the Goblin Sapper Charges, a portable explosive which upon detonation deals devastating damage to anyone in its wake. Rocket launchers, various experimental explosives, and dangerous 'Dimensional Rippers' make up most their arsenal of flimsy, yet devastating equipment.Goblins were announced as the Horde's new playable race for the third expansion pack,.

As part of their initial questing area, a previously dormant volcano on their home island begins to erupt. Fearing for their lives, the Bilgewater Cartel fled the island only to be shipwrecked on the Lost Isles due to the crossfire of Horde and Alliance ships. Blizzard Entertainment.
