HORDE
Orcs: Originally hailing from the harsh, alien world of Draenor, the orcs were once a noble shamanistic
people cultivating a mighty tribal society that was centered on survival, regulating themselves through
ritualized combat and personal honor. Betrayed by one of their spiritual leaders and delivered into the
hands of the Burning Legion, the orc clans fell deep into demonic enslavement and were led into
Azeroth as an unholy vanguard of the Legion meant to destroy everything in their path.
Yet, the shamanistic tradition of the orcs managed to rekindle from the ashes, and a young
shaman by the name of Thrall arose to become a living symbol of his people's true identity in their
darkest hour, causing many of the orcs to rise up against their demon masters and break free from their
control. An orc's face would be described by some races of Azeroth as monstrous, their hideousness
comparable to that of trolls. Orcs have large heavy jaws from which protrude sharp, tusk-like teeth,
heavy brows, a broad and flat snout-like nose, and pointed ears. The number, size and position of orcish
tusks and teeth are particularly variable.
Racial Ability: Blood Fury - Tap in the demonic blood rage that is in your genetic memory,
increasing your damage and decreasing any damage dealt to you for at least half a minute. This
ability is taxing on you and you're unable to use this ability again for at most two minutes
afterword.
Trolls: During Thrall’s exodus from Lordaeron, the Horde rescued the Darkspear tribe of jungle trolls
from the mysterious Sea Witch. The Darkspear tribe owed Thrall and the orcs a great debt and so allied
themselves with the Horde in gratitude. Their relationship with the noble orcs and tauren has begun to
change the Darkspear trolls’ savage natures. Darkspear trolls, however, deny their dark legacy. The
Horde has taught them camaraderie, restraint and, to a lesser extent, kindness. Trolls are often tall,
lanky, and muscular. They have both elven and orc-like characteristics with their fierce fangs and long
ears. Their long arms, strong legs and quick reflexes make them adept hunters. Trolls have only two
fingers and a thumb on their hands, and they have only two toes on each foot.
Racial Ability: Troll Regeneration - Trolls have remarkable healing ability, allowing you to have a
weak regeneration. This allows you to recover from wounds at twice the rate as a normal
human. Additionally this allows you to recover from dismemberment, as long the wound wasn't
cauterized by fire or acid, trolls have ability to place their severed limb back in place by holding
it to the stump for a brief period. This doesn't work with beheading.
Tauren: The peaceful tauren, known in their own tongue as the shu’halo—have long dwelled in
Kalimdor, striving to preserve the balance of nature at the behest of their goddess, the Earth Mother.
Tauren have very large bulk and weight. They have long tails, bipedal hooves, and only three fingers per
hand. Both males and females have horns of varying size and shape. Tauren are large, muscular
humanoids with bull-like heads. Tauren are mostly muscle, having incredibly developed physiques and
brawny frames most suitable for combat. Soft, downy fur (usually quite short) covers the tauren body,
with manes growing along head and neck, the lengths of the arms, and the shins. Coloration can range
from solid black to blond and even to white, or mottled pelts with a range of spots and different colors.
Racial Ability: Warstomp - Stomp your hoof on the ground, stunning all enemies in immediate
area for at least half a minute. This ability is taxing on you and you're unable to use this ability
again for at most two minutes afterword.
