History
The orcs came from Draenor, where clan life was scarred by demonic corruption and war. Their passage to Azeroth left a difficult legacy, alongside the continuing effort to reclaim freedom and ancestral traditions.
Culture
Clan identity, loyalty and respect for ancestors shape orcish life. Courage earns admiration, but honour also asks individuals to protect their community and accept responsibility for how they use their strength.
Origins and homeland
Draenor remains the ancestral homeland remembered in clan stories and spiritual traditions. In Azeroth, the red valleys of Durotar and the stronghold of Orgrimmar represent the hard work of making another land a home.
