History
The journey from Draenor to Azeroth left a legacy of invasion, demonic corruption and captivity. The new Horde seeks a different course, though the scars of that history remain part of every alliance it makes.

Base client values are shown. Effects that depend on character level or statistics may vary.
Culture
Clan identity, respect for ancestors and the teachings of spiritual leaders shape daily life. Martial strength matters, but so do loyalty and the responsibility to keep a community alive in an unforgiving land.
Origins and homeland
Durotar is a rugged home of red earth, dry valleys and the fortress city of Orgrimmar. Survival there depends on resourcefulness and cooperation with the other peoples who share the Horde.
Starting journey
The ordinary journey begins in the Valley of Trials before opening into Durotar. The available class links reflect this patch rather than later additions to the race. Death Knight has a separate starting experience.
