Appunti Su Thrall

Thrall (birthname Go'el), son of Durotan and Draka, is the former Warchief of the
restored shamanistic Horde, founder of the nation of Durotar in Kalimdor and one of
the second wave of shaman.[14] His parents killed by Gul'dan's assassins shortly
after his birth in the beginning of the First War, he was found and raised by
Aedelas Blackmoore who gave Thrall his name. Raised as a slave and gladiator, he
later joined Orgrim Doomhammer in freeing the orcs imprisoned after the Second War,
being named Warchief after Doomhammer's death. After leading the Horde away from
the Alliance-claimed Eastern Kingdoms, he rescued and made allies of the Darkspear
trolls and Bloodhoof tauren. Thrall led the new Horde against their former demonic
masters in the Battle of Mount Hyjal. He subsequently led diplomatic efforts at
peace between the Horde and Alliance after the end of the Third War, as well as
accepted new members to the Horde, like the Forsaken of the Undercity and the blood
elves of Quel'Thalas.
After the fall of the Lich King and the increasing elemental unrest heralding the
Cataclysm, Thrall stepped down as leader of the Horde, appointed Garrosh Hellscream
as Warchief, and joined with the shamanistic Earthen Ring to combat the rampaging
elements, eventually aiding the Aspects in Deathwing's downfall.
With his victory over the corrupted aspect behind him, Thrall had been forced to
deal with the chaos his replacement had sown in his wake. The Pandaria Campaign
clearly demonstrated Garrosh's unforeseeable madness and pride, leading to
dissension within the Horde itself. Thrall stepped back in to defend the Horde and
its allies from their increasingly ruthless dictator. Together with Vol'jin and the
other disenfranchised leaders of the Horde, Thrall overthrew his ill-fated
successor in the Siege of Orgrimmar. After Garrosh's capture, Thrall personally
chose Vol'jin to hold the Horde together and pledged his allegiance to him, along
with the remaining leaders of the faction. His mate Aggra also gave birth to a son
named Durak.
During the war in Draenor, Thrall was a key member of the Horde expedition to an
alternate version of the orcish homeworld Draenor. In addition to aiding in many
key battles, he met and befriended his parents of that timeline and made allies of
the Frostwolf Orcs. Knowing that Garrosh was responsible for the events in the
alternate Draenor, Thrall pursued him and was ultimately successful in killing
Garrosh in their final mak'gora.
Eventually, the weight of all the wars he had fought began to weigh more heavily
upon the former warchief and Thrall's own abilities and resolve eventually began to
waver. During the Burning Legion's latest invasion of Azeroth, he passed both the
Doomhammer and the mantle of leader of the Earthen Ring down to a shaman
adventurer, knowing the future was now in safer hands. With this, he retired with
his family to Nagrand, where he established a small farm. This did not last, as he
was called from retirement by Varok Saurfang, who needed his aid in preventing
Sylvanas Windrunner, Vol'jin's successor after his death during the Legion's
invasion, from tearing the Horde apart. Leading a rebellion alongside Saurfang,
Thrall upheld his promise to Saurfang who perished during a mak'gora with
Windrunner, who then abandoned the Horde. Taking on a mantle of leadership for his
people once again, Thrall became a member of the Horde Council, which replaced the
warchief position, as the orcish representative.
After the end of the war, Thrall was captured along other leaders of both factions
by the Mawsworn, and was sent into the Shadowlands where he was tormented within
Torghast. He was eventually rescued by Maw Walkers and joined them in their
campaign against the Jailer and his forces.
Thrall serves as one of the main protagonists in the Warcraft franchise.

Blackmoore and Thrall.
Go'el is the son of Durotan, former chieftain of the Frostwolf clan, and Draka. He
was born in the year 1 in their new home in the Alterac Mountains. Soon after the
birth, Draka and the child accompanied Durotan to a secret meeting with Orgrim
Doomhammer in Loch Modan.[15] While in Loch Modan, Durotan warned Orgrim about the
treachery of the warlock Gul'dan and his Shadow Council who used the orcish race as
vassals to their ambition for power. Soon after, Durotan and his family were
escorted by Orgrim's personal bodyguards on their way home to the north when in
truth, the guards were actually assassins loyal to Gul'dan and brutally murdered
Durotan and Draka while leaving the infant Go'el to die helplessly in the
wilderness.[16]
Go'el was found amongst the bloody bodies of his murdered parents somewhere in the
north of Loch Modan by Aedelas Blackmoore, commander of the internment camps which
held orcs after the end of the Second War. Blackmoore gave him the name Thrall,
which was another word for "slave" in the human tongue, which would cling to the
orc for the remainder of his life. Blackmoore returned to his fortress, Durnholde
Keep, with Thrall, and raised him as a gladiator — with all the savagery of an orc,
but with the keen strategic intellect of a human. He was trained and taught by
many, wet-nursed by a human woman, and grew to befriend her daughter, Taretha
Foxton. Thrall proved to be an excellent student and a phenomenal fighter. Thrall
became a gladiator in Durnholde's arena and Aedelas' source of money. During one
encounter in the arena, Prince Arthas Menethil visited Durnholde Keep in order to
watch Thrall in a fight.
Thrall's first encounter with other orcs was while training with Sergeant and
several trainees at Durnholde. A cart of captured orcs was moving through Durnholde
at the time, to be kept within the camps, and one who saw Thrall believed that
(rather than it being a training exercise) he was being ganged up on by humans. The
orc broke free of his chains and moved to save Thrall, yelling at him in Orcish to
run away, but at the time, Thrall did not understand any language except Common and
so had no idea what his would-be savior was shouting. The orc was beaten and killed
right before the young Thrall's eyes.
He was clever, quick and enormous even by orc standards. Blackmoore's abusive
beatings both in and out of the ring began to take its toll. Taretha began to write
him letters and secretly delivered them to him in his cage within books, and he
wrote back to her. Eventually, he wrote to Taretha that he wished to escape,
following a series of fights where he fought bravely but did not finish the last
round, and was consequently physically punished by Aedelas.
Taretha created a diversion inside Durnholde Keep which allowed Thrall to escape
from his cell unnoticed. They met up outside the fortress by a cave, and Taretha
gave him provisions and supplies. He then left Durnholde, hoping to never return.
Thrall was captured and taken to an internment camp run by one Lorin Remka. It was
here that he met an old orc with glowing red eyes named Kelgar, who told him of the
corruption of Gul'dan, and how the old ways had been so much better for the Horde.
He told him that the only one still thinking of embracing this was the undefeated
Grom Hellscream, Chieftain of the Warsong clan. When another orc told Thrall that
Blackmoore had arrived at the camp looking for him, Thrall escaped again and sought
out Grom Hellscream.[9]

The orcs
After Thrall had found the chieftain and proving himself, Hellscream took Thrall
under his wing, teaching him the Orcish tongue, and telling him that—based on the
tattered swaddling cloth Thrall showed him — he was a part of the exiled Frostwolf
clan. After spending some time with Hellscream, Thrall decided to take his leave of
them for a while in order to search out his roots in the Alterac Mountains.
After trekking to exhaustion, Thrall was rescued by the Frostwolves and taken to
their camp. There he met Drek'Thar, who told Thrall that he was the son of the
chieftain of the Frostwolves. Once Thrall had found his place among the
Frostwolves, Drek'Thar taught him the old ways of the Horde, before Gul'dan's
corruption, and soon Thrall was accepted as a member of the clan. A frost wolf
named Snowsong eventually chose Thrall as her companion. It was some time after
that choosing that he was called away by Drek'Thar, and came upon a quiet place
where he had never been or seen before. Here he was to be initiated.
In one of the most spiritual experiences of his life, Thrall befriended the spirits
of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and the Wilds. He became the first new shaman since
Gul'dan's vile corruption of the Horde. He returned to the camp a new orc and
became fully immersed in the old ways and ancient rites of the shaman and his clan,
learning how to wield the fury of the storms and earth,[17] and embracing his role
as son of the chieftain. This was a significant and symbolic event since Thrall was
the first shaman to be accepted by the spirits since Drek'Thar's time. Not only did
this mean Thrall would be destined to be one of the greatest shaman in orcish
history, but it also meant that the spirits finally forgave the orcish race for
consorting with demonic powers, and deemed Thrall as the first of a brand new
generation of shaman.
The camp was soon visited by a wandering stranger. At first, Thrall spoke
pleasantly with him but began to grow angry when the stranger accused the
Frostwolves of hiding away in the mountains. His fury — and orcish pride — growing
within him, Thrall informed the stranger that he would join with Hellscream and the
Warsong and lay siege to the encampments. The stranger dismissed Hellscream as a
"demon-ridden dreamer", and said that the humans were not worth fighting. Enraged,
Thrall challenged the stranger to single combat. The stranger threw aside his cloak
to reveal well-worn black plate armor and a massive warhammer. After a short but
brutal contest, Thrall managed to disarm him but was prevented from throttling the
stranger by some of his clan. It was then that the stranger revealed himself as
Orgrim Doomhammer — the Warchief of the Horde. Doomhammer had been contacted by
Drek'Thar about the return of the son of Durotan. The Warchief decided to provoke
Thrall into a fight to see if Drek'Thar's praise was deserved — and it was. Not
only was Thrall able to challenge Doomhammer's strength, he also was able to best
him — a feat only once before accomplished by Thrall's father.[9]
Liberation
Thrall, leader of the Horde.
Thrall honors Doomhammer at the fallen warchief's funeral pyre.
Doomhammer named Thrall his second-in-command and explained his strategy for
liberating the encampments. Per Doomhammer's plan, Thrall infiltrated the camps
masquerading as one of the downtrodden, lethargic prisoners, and then riled the
orcs up with shows of his shamanistic powers. With the downtrodden orcs revitalized
by their restored heritage, they quickly overran the encampments. On the first
three encampments, this proved to be an effective tactic. On the fourth, Thrall was
too easily recognized, and thus they had to resort to the numbers of the new Horde
— and the shamanistic powers wielded by Thrall — to liberate the encampment. At the
fifth, they were even better prepared — knights from Durnholde had been stationed
at the remaining encampments, so that whichever camp they attacked, there would be
a greater resistance. During the liberation of this encampment — now the Horde
outpost of Hammerfall in the Arathi Highlands — Doomhammer was killed, impaled from
behind by a knight's lance. With his dying breath, he gave Thrall his black plate
and warhammer, and named him Warchief of the Horde. He made sure to restore, but
not replace, the back plate pierced by the lance that took Doomhammer's life;[18]
and a symbol of the Frostwolf clan was added to the Doomhammer.
Thrall's first action as Warchief was to attack Durnholde in an effort to dismantle

the entire internment camp system. He secretly met with Taretha, asking her to
leave Durnholde with her family, but she refused, hoping that it would never come
to battle and fearful of the consequences if Blackmoore noticed her missing
(Blackmoore had taken her as his mistress, an arrangement she had never been happy
with). When Thrall arrived at Durnholde with the Horde at his back, he confronted a
drunken Blackmoore and asked for a peaceful parlay in order to prevent useless
bloodshed. Blackmoore went through a plethora of emotions — from amusement at
Thrall's rise to power, anger at what the Warchief was demanding, and grief at how
Thrall had supposedly betrayed him. Once again demanding that Blackmoore surrender
or be killed; the master of Durnholde gave his response by tossing the severed head
of Taretha Foxton into the courtyard, screaming that this was what he would do with
traitors.
The sight of the Taretha's decapitated head was so shocking that Thrall cried out
tears for the first time in his life. She was the closest thing that he had of a
family. The orc then screamed in rage and grief, the elements themselves echoing
his fury, and he gave the command to attack. During the siege, Thrall cornered
Blackmoore in his hidden tunnel and tossed a sword at the traitorous man's feet.
Blackmoore had sobered enough to hold his own against the Warchief — who had been
holding back to allow Blackmoore a fighting chance — but when he tried to explain,
and asked for Thrall's aid to help him subjugate the Alliance. The Warchief's rage
at Taretha's fate broke all barriers and struck him the mortal blow. As he lay
dying, the master of Durnholde expressed pride in what Thrall had become — what
Blackmoore had made him or so he thought.
Thrall emerged shaken from the castle to find his orcs victorious. Thrall gave a
message to Blackmoore's second-in-command, Lord Karramyn Langston, to take to his
superiors: to free the remaining orcs, and to cede land for their use. If the
Alliance would let them be, they would not trouble the Alliance and would be
willing to engage in cooperation and trade. If the Alliance chose to fight them,
they would have made an enemy the likes of which had never been seen before —
making the old warlock-controlled Horde shrink to insignificance. He then left
Durnholde after allowing Sergeant and the surviving humans to walk away unharmed
and he had Tari's necklace delivered to her parents. When they were gone he called
upon the Spirit of the Earth to destroy the keep before leading his people to
freedom.[9]
Thrall later composed a lok'vadnod ("song of a hero") to commemorate Taretha's

sacrifice.
Of Blood and Honor

At some point during the liberation of orcs from camps, Thrall learned about the
orc named Eitrigg and led an attack on Stratholme where Eitrigg was about to be
executed. However, Eitrigg was rescued by a human and brought to a forest outside
of Stratholme where he was healed by the human. Thrall and his orcs followed the
two and found them. Eitrigg reminded Thrall of Durotan. Eitrigg was allowed to join
the new Horde and the human, Tirion, was astonished by Thrall who allowed him to
leave because he had saved Eitrigg's life.[19]
Reign of Chaos
Flight to Kalimdor

Chaos or its expansion The Frozen Throne.

Thrall wakes from his dream, a crow visible in the background.
Thrall and Grom spent much time gathering together the dispersed forces of the
Horde. But it was some time later, when Thrall was with a small force in the Arathi
Highlands, that he received a strange dream. He saw armies clashing, and fire
raining from the sky, and a voice warning him of things to come.[20]
When he awoke, he realized that it was no dream, it was a vision, granted him by
the mysterious Prophet, who enigmatically told him that he was not what he seemed,
that he had abandoned his humanity long ago, and that he had foreseen the future
with the only hope for the orcs' salvation was to leave Lordaeron—sail west to
Kalimdor, and there, they would find their destiny.[21]
Thrall obeyed, and gathering the Horde, prepared to make their way across the Great
Sea. The clans begun assembling and he constructed a base to give the Horde a place
to stay. Grom turned out to have been captured by humans, and Thrall quickly
stepped in to save him. Hellscream then got the idea, to steal the human ships so
that they could leave the human lands forever. With the Horde assembled, they stole
the ships, and left across the Great Sea to the forgotten lands of Kalimdor.[22]
Exodus of the Horde

Thrall with Sen'jin.
Halfway along their journey to Kalimdor, Thrall's ships were beset by a fierce
storm near the Maelstrom and forced to take shelter on a small island. There the
orcs met the troll leader, Sen'jin, who told them of a human outpost that attacked
his tribe night and day on the island. Fearing for the Horde and the Darkspear
Trolls' safety, Thrall and his warriors assaulted the human base. During his stay,
he reactivated a Fountain of Health and discovered that the isle had active
volcanos. Aided by the Darkspear trolls, the human leader, an archmage, was killed,
but then many murlocs attacked the Horde, the humans, and the Darkspear trolls.
While the orcish and human forces were occupied with one another, the piscine
monsters sought out sacrifices for their rituals.[23]
Thrall was then imprisoned within the murlocs' fiery dungeon. He learned from a
troll head hunter, with whom he shared a cell, that the murlocs planned to
sacrifice them both to a sea witch. Fortunately, though the murlocs were strangely
advanced, they were unaware of Thrall's shamanistic abilities, and the warchief was
able to escape and free his warriors. One grunt reported that Sen'jin was not in
the cells — and that he was taken as the first sacrifice. Thrall raced to the altar
but was forced to watch in horror as the murloc sorcerer killed Sen'jin. Thrall and
his warriors were able to kill the three Murloc Guardians maintaining the magic
barrier which prevented their escape and the Murloc Sorcerer, but it was too late
for the troll leader. The dying Sen'jin revealed a vision — that Thrall would lead
the Darkspear tribe to greatness. Thrall then offered the remaining trolls a place
in the Horde for the kindness they had shown the orcs.[24]
Thrall emerged from the cave and was confronted by the Sea Witch. She threatened
vengeance for the destruction of her altar and worshipers. She placed a curse upon
the warchief; that he and all his forces would be swallowed up by the sea. Upon
returning to his base camp, Thrall discovered that his ships, damaged by the storm,
were not yet ready to sail. He also learned that the island dormant volcano erupted
and that the island had begun to sink. The Sea Witch, meanwhile, launched her
murloc forces against the Horde, thirsty for vengeance. Nevertheless, aided by the
trolls, the Horde was able to hold off their attackers long enough to repair their
ships and managed to escape before the isle sunk. The Sea Witch then told to Thrall
that a "Dark Tide" would swallow them all and that there will be nowhere to hide.
[25]
The sea witch's curse may have come true, depending on how close her island was to
Kalimdor — because Thrall's force was shipwrecked. It can be assumed that other
clans, such as Hellscream's, were not among those caught by the storm and driven to
the island.

Thrall, Warchief of the Horde.
The ships had been scattered and many of those on board barely made it to the
shores of Kalimdor alive. The clans were scattered, and Thrall slowly roamed the
coast, collecting the orcs and trolls he came across as he did. But Grom could not
be found. This new land held many strange new creatures, but the most brutal were
the centaurs, particularly in their treatment of the tauren.[26]
When Thrall battled a group of centaurs who were attacking tauren, he was
unexpectedly greeted by Cairne Bloodhoof, chieftain of the Bloodhoof tribe.
Impressed by their fierce but noble behavior, Cairne offered to help him find the
destiny of his people. Thrall told Cairne of the centaur army he had seen advancing
to the north, and they quickly departed, as Cairne realized that his village was in
danger. Thrall's forces followed Cairne back to their village, where they defended
it from the centaurs.[26]
Since the centaurs had driven off all the game in the region, the Bloodhoof tribe
would need to abandon their home and travel to Mulgore if they hoped to avoid
starving. Cairne agreed to tell the location of the Oracle, who would help the orcs
with their quest for destiny, if they would help protect Cairne's caravan to
Mulgore. Thrall agreed to these terms, and helped the tauren on their lengthy
journey, protecting them and their lumbering kodo beasts from marauding centaurs.
[27]
Cairne told Thrall of the mystical Oracle of Stonetalon Peak, who could help them
find their destiny in these strange lands. Thrall, glad at having made a new friend
in the foreign land, gratefully thanked Cairne, and they parted as allies.[27]
When Thrall arrived at the base of Stonetalon Peak, he was shocked to find Grom
Hellscream and the Warsong clan battling humans under the command of Jaina
Proudmoore. Her forces had cordoned off much of the pass going up the mountain, and
Thrall believed that hiring some goblins to ferry them up the mountain in zeppelins
would allow them to bypass any defenses. As Thrall tried to make his way stealthily
up to the goblins, the impatient Hellscream unexpectedly attacked the humans, who
retaliated by attacking to him and to Thrall's forces. Thrall was forced to stay
their wrath by attacking their bases. Finally, he managed to acquire some
zeppelins. Thrall confronted Grom, but Hellscream argued that "a true warrior"
would have fought the humans without question instead of trying to sneak past them
and avoid a battle.[28]
Thrall, worried that Grom's impetuous bloodlust would lead to nothing but trouble,
ordered his friend and his clan to head to Ashenvale and collect wood for their
future settlement while he made his way up the mountain to meet the Oracle. Grom
reluctantly complied with Thrall's request. [28]
Thrall made his way up the mountain and was surprised to find his path crossing
that of Cairne once again. However, the summit was heavily guarded by a nearby
encampment, and they would need air support in order to destroy the human defenses.
Cairne suggested that they ally with the wyverns of Stonetalon Mountains. The
wyverns were imprisoned by a group of vile harpies, and after a short battle, they
were defeated, and the wyverns, grateful, lent their services to Thrall and the
Horde. With their help, Thrall was able to destroy the human encampment and entered
the caverns.[29]
Thrall and Cairne separated and searched the caverns themselves. After much time,
they found the Oracle's chamber, but they also found Jaina Proudmoore and were
about to battle when the Oracle appeared, revealing himself to be the Prophet that
Thrall and Jaina had met in Lordaeron. He told Thrall of Grom's corruption, and
that the orcs and humans must join forces or be destroyed. Reluctantly, Thrall
agreed, desperate to save Grom.[30]
Lifting of the Blood Curse

Thrall and Grom face Mannoroth in the RPG.
They returned to the Barrens to find Grom in command of the corrupted Warsong clan,
and he moved against them as the demonic invasion of Kalimdor began. An epic battle
took place between the Warchief and Hellscream's forces as the fire of falling
infernals lit up the night sky. Thrall, with the help of Cairne and Jaina, fought
his way through the ranks of blood-maddened chaos orcs, determined to reach
Hellscream at all costs. Finally, after defeating Hellscream's army of orcs,
doomguards, felhounds, and warlocks, Thrall faced his old friend. Hellscream
taunted the Warchief, revealing to him that the demons didn't forcefully corrupt
the orcs, but that the orc chieftains themselves willingly chose to drink the
demon's blood, in full knowledge that it would forever enslave them to the Legions
dark rule. Enraged at this revelation and betrayal, Thrall charged at his old
friend and the armies of Thrall and Grom along with a swarm of doomguard battled.
After a long and desperate struggle, Thrall regained control of himself and managed
to capture Grom's essence in a soul gem and returned it to a Ritual Circle, where
with the combination of orcish shamanism and elven magic, the demonic energy was
purged from Grom's system. Grom, realizing what he had done, was instantly
apologetic, and he and Thrall immediately set out to face Mannoroth in a canyon
carved by the falling infernals.[31]
Thrall put an initial assault against Mannoroth, but was subdued quickly, and would
have been killed, had Grom not gathered his strength and made a devastating blow
against Mannoroth, shattering his plate and driving his axe deep into his belly.
This was enough to kill the pit lord, but as Mannoroth died explosive energies
burst forth from his body and hit Grom at point-blank range. The chieftain of the
Warsong clan was mortally wounded. As the demonic, red haze lifted from the eyes of
Grom Hellscream and his clan mates, Grom was told that he had freed himself. Thrall
approached Grom telling to him that he had freed not just him, but all the orcs
from demonic corruption.[32]
Battle of Mount Hyjal

The leaders of the orcs, humans and night elves meet with Medivh.
Thrall and Jaina went into Ashenvale but found a new threat behind them as well as
in front. The night elves, cursing them for the killing of Cenarius, attacked them
as they attempted to make a new settlement.[33]
The demons and undead, orcs and humans, and night elves were all battling one
another for survival,[34][35] until finally, Thrall received a vision to bring
Jaina to a grove at the base of Mount Hyjal. There, he met the leaders of the night
elves, Tyrande Whisperwind and Malfurion Stormrage. They were surprised at finding
each other there, until the Prophet appeared once more, and revealed himself to be
Medivh, the Last Guardian of the Tirisfal. He convinced them that they must all
ally against the Burning Legion or they would surely and quickly be defeated.[36]
Though uneasy, Tyrande and Malfurion agreed, and they all allied against Archimonde
and his plethora of demonic and undead followers.[37]
All the allied races collectively defended Nordrassil and Mount Hyjal with three
fortified settlements going up the mountain, Thrall's base having orcs, jungle
trolls, tauren, and goblins, everyone doing their best to slow Archimonde's ascend
until the night elves' trap was prepared.[37]
As Archimonde made his way up the mountain towards Thrall's base, he taunted Thrall
by saying that his race wasn't worth bothering with and that the orcs were weak.
Thrall replied that their spirit is strong and if they are to be defeated at least
they are free, and struck out, attacking Archimonde and hurting him a little with a
[Chain Lightning], before Jaina teleported him away. After a great battle,
Archimonde was finally destroyed and the Burning Legion was defeated.[37]
Founding of Orgrimmar
Thrall and Rexxar.

Following the victory at Mount Hyjal and the defeat of the Burning Legion, Thrall
gathered his people and resolved to find a place for them in the rugged, beautiful
lands of the Barrens. Thrall led his orcs into the battle against the Razormane
quilboar and claimed much of the land,[38][39] founding Durotar, named after his
heroic father.[40][41] Its capital city was Orgrimmar, named for Orgrim Doomhammer.
After many months, things began to pull together. The orcs were fleshing out
Durotar,[42] the tauren had gone into Mulgore,[43] and the trolls had settled on
the Echo Isles off the coast.[44]
Thrall was soon met by Rexxar, a son of the Mok'Nathal, who had tried to save his
scout Mogrin from a group of quilboars, and delivered a message. Thrall read it
carefully, saddened by Mogrin's death, and welcomed Rexxar to the newly crowned
land. Rexxar considered staying but said that he would need to earn his keep.
Thrall agreed and sent Rexxar to speak to various citizens of Orgrimmar and see
what he could do to assist them in their tasks. He also asked Rokhan the shadow
hunter to assist Rexxar. The two were later joined by a wandering pandaren
brewmaster named Chen Stormstout, who had been searching the area for ingredients
to use in his new concoction. After Rexxar helped him find those ingredients, Chen
tagged along with the troll and the Mok'Nathal, eager for adventure. Thrall waited
in Orgrimmar, helping build the city.[42]
Rexxar performed his deeds successfully, and Thrall began to respect the
beastmaster. But soon he brought ill news that humans were amassing on the shores
of Durotar. Thrall was troubled. The treaty he had made with Jaina had hoped to
keep such incursions from happening. After several more encounters with human
hostiles, there was a summit arranged between Thrall and Jaina. Rexxar encouraged
Thrall to send him in his place, sensing a trap. Thrall reluctantly agreed. Sure
enough, the "emissaries" were uninterested in talk and unsuccessfully tried to kill
Rexxar and his friends, after expressing disappointment that Thrall himself had not
come to be slaughtered.[42]
Rexxar returned and told Thrall that there had been a deception. Unable to believe
that Jaina would order such a thing, Thrall prepared a note for Rexxar to secret
into Theramore to arrange a parlay with Jaina herself. Only by meeting face to face
could they ensure any sort of peace between the two races.[42]
After hearing Rexxar's report of Admiral Proudmoore's arrival and intent against
the orcs, Thrall realized that the only way to prevent yet another war was to
assault Admiral Proudmoore's base and kill him. With Rexxar's help, Thrall enlisted
the aid of his old friend Cairne and the tauren, as well as the Stonemaul ogres.
[45] While preparations were being made to storm Theramore, Thrall was informed
that the island was surrounded by a blockade of ships that the assembled force had
no way of breaching. Thrall was frustrated by this news. Then Jaina teleported onto
the scene. She assured everybody that she came in peace. She had known nothing of
her father's plans and didn't know what to do, she said. Thrall was sympathetic but
told her that her father's actions could destroy Durotar and that the only way to
ensure the security of the new nation and his people was to kill Daelin.[46]
Jaina understood and was willing to help, even if it meant the death of her father.
She told Thrall the location of a nearby goblin shipyard which could supply him
with ships to break through the admiral's blockade. She begged Thrall to spare as
many of her men as possible in the coming battle; even though most of them were
following her father, they were the only family she had left after the fall of
Lordaeron. Thrall gave her his word that he would try to keep bloodshed on the
human side to a minimum and advised Jaina to get to safety since the battle was
about to start.[46]
Using the ships acquired from the goblins, Thrall's forces were able to fight their
way onto the isle, where they proceeded to engage Daelin Proudmoore's troops.[46]
Rexxar, Rokhan, Chen, and Cairne fought their way directly to Admiral Proudmoore
himself and engaged him in combat. Before the battle was over Thrall tried to tell
the admiral that this Horde was different from the one he had faced years ago, that
they had no interest in conquest or murder. Proudmoore raged that Thrall's race was
guilty of genocide, that they would never be able to atone for their rampage
through Stormwind and Lordaeron that had left countless innocent people dead. He
grimly vowed that he would never stop fighting the orcs, and thus fought to his
death as Thrall had predicted.[47]
As soon as Daelin Proudmoore fell, Rexxar shouted that the battle was over and
ordered the human forces to stand down. They complied. Jaina fell to her knees near
her father's body, asking him why he couldn't have listened. Rexxar tried to ease
the sorceress' pain by telling her that her father was a proud warrior above all
else, and that he should be remembered as such. Thrall proclaimed that the Horde
had no quarrel with the surviving humans and that they would leave Theramore in
peace. He then took his forces back to Durotar and left Jaina to her mourning.[47]
Grateful to Rexxar for all he had done, Thrall extended an invitation to the
Mok'Nathal to stay and make a home for himself in Durotar. Rexxar politely
declined, telling Thrall that he was a wanderer and his place was in the wilds. But
he promised Thrall that he was part of the Horde, and that if his help was ever
needed again he would be there. So Thrall said goodbye to Rexxar and resumed
building Durotar. For the moment, all was well.[47]
Lordship
Thrall was warned by a shaman Kalthar about a strange anomaly in Kalimdor's
mountains. Thrall sent Broxigar and Gaskal to investigate this. The anomaly pulled
Brox, Gaskal, Krasus and Rhonin into the past - 10 000 years ago. Though Gaskal
died during transporting and Broxigar died in the conclusion of the War of the
Ancients, his famous axe made by Cenarius was retrieved and delivered to Thrall by
Korialstrasz to honor brave Broxigar.[48]
Three years passed, and Orgrimmar swelled. A series of minor incidents between the
Durotar orcs and Theramore humans threatened the stability of the entire area.
Thrall and Jaina desperately attempted to keep the peace, but the Horde grew out of
his control when his chief warrior Burx took an army of orcs and trolls to
Northwatch Hold, the same keep Proudmoore used for his operations, and demanded
they dismantle it. After the battle began, Jaina contacted Thrall with information
that his Burx was working for the orcish end of the Burning Blade cult. Infuriated
at the idea that an orc would once again serve the Legion (the demon Zmodlor was
pulling the strings of the cult), Thrall immediately stopped the battle (with some
impressive aid from the Spirits) and denounced Burx. When the warrior protested
that he was acting within the Horde's interests, Thrall smashed his skull with the
Doomhammer.[49]
The events prompted Jaina and Thrall to pursue a more official Horde/Alliance
treaty. Despite the rise of tensions in the last year or so, their actions have
halted, though not completely broken, the cycle of hatred.
World of Warcraft
WoW Icon update.png This section concerns content related to the original World of
Warcraft.
Thrall's old model in Orgrimmar.
Warchief Thrall.
Thrall, proud Warchief of the Horde remained in his palace, located in the Valley
of Wisdom in Orgrimmar. He was considered the mightiest orc alive. He stood as
warchief over the entire Horde, holding dominion over the Darkspear trolls and
tauren tribes alike. His honor, cunning, and compassion have won him many allies
over the years, even amongst the humans and night elves. Thrall lives to defend his
people's freedom and ensure the safety of the extended Horde.[6]
The members of the Shattered Hand that remained in Azeroth became an integral part
of Thrall's New Horde. With the foundation of Durotar, and the Horde capital of
Orgrimmar, the Shattered Hand has become the Horde's clan of assassins, training
new rogues in the service of their Warchief. However, as with all rogues, the
extent of their loyalty is unknown; one member, Zando'zan, states that he has
foreseen the death of Thrall, but whether this is just a premonition he had of the
Warchief's demise or that he or the Shattered Hand in Orgrimmar plans to kill
Thrall remains a mystery. However, Wrenix the Wretched, Zando'zan's contact, does
point out that he's not quite sane and that his words perhaps should not be taken
seriously.
Despite the defeat of the Burning Legion and the elder Proudmoore, the Warchief's
life is still far from dull. Threats to Durotar from outside and within force him
to remain ever vigilant. At some point, Thrall received Sylvanas' Forsaken
ambassadors who demanded to join the Horde. Thrall was unsure about them, but with
the support of Hamuul Runetotem, Thrall was convinced to accept them. Thus, the
Horde gained access to Lordaeron.[50]
The Revantusk tribe learned about the new Horde and sent runners to Thrall. Thrall
was wary of the trolls at first, but he came to see that the Revantusk trolls were
unique among forest trolls in a fundamental way. The Revantusk tribe had never had
much in the way of the fighters or resources, and so it had instead decided to
specialize in the trickier art of negotiation. By the time they spoke with Thrall,
the Revantusks had acquired a reputation for trustworthiness that was well
deserved. The trolls were impressed by Thrall and his dream. Even so, they
remembered the recklessness and corruption of the first Horde. Thus, the Revantusks
declined to rejoin the Horde, but they did agree to a pact of friendship and mutual
assistance.[51]
At this time of his tenure Nazgrel and Eitrigg were his advisors. Thrall tasked the
latter to oversee new Horde recruits.[52] He watched a growing danger within the
caves of Orgrimmar and worked with the young horde members who he sent to spy on
Neeru Fireblade. Thrall learned that he was the leader of the Burning Blade and
worked with Searing Blade under Orgrimmar. Eventually, Thrall sent the adventurers
beneath Orgrimmar to deal with the Searing Blade leaders. He also sent the orc
Gol'dir and his three companions to Hillsbrad to deal with the Syndicate problem.
During the process, they were kidnapped but later rescued[53] and eventually killed
the Syndicate leader - Aliden Perenolde.[54] [Taretha's Necklace] was also
acquired from Aliden's mistress Elysa and was eventually delivered to Thrall.[55]
At some point, Thrall sent the Kargath Expeditionary Force to the Badlands in order
to explore a new land and Commander Gor'shak was sent to Blackrock Depths. While
there, he allowed himself to be captured by the Dark Iron dwarves in order to
gather intelligence. Gor'shak learned that Princess Moira Bronzebeard had been
captured.[56] Though Thrall sought a strike team to liberate her in order to
strengthen relations in the Eastern Kingdoms,[57] it was ultimately Alliance forces
who entered the Blackrock Depths and killed Dagran Thaurissan, the Emperor of the
Dark Irons.[58]
Despite the political quarreling between the Horde and Alliance, Thrall does wish
to establish true peace between the two factions. However, the Alliance still
remembers the Old Horde's association with the Burning Legion. To differentiate his
New Horde from its predecessor's dark legacy, Thrall sanctioned Keldran's campaign
against the Burning Blade[59][60][61] and the demon infestation in Desolace.[62]
With such a grand display of hostility against the Burning Legion's agents, Keldran
and Thrall hoped the Alliance would see the new Horde's sincerity and prevent a war
caused by misunderstandings.[63]
He also sent the warlock Fel'zerul to investigate strange happenings at the Temple
of Atal'Hakkar.[64] At some point in the past, Thrall tried to make contact with
the Timbermaw tribe of furbolg on behalf of the Horde.[65]
At the time of the Ahn'Qiraj War, Thrall quickly came to an unprecedented agreement
with Regent Lord Bolvar Fordragon. Both the Horde and the Alliance would combine
the might of their armies, as the Might of Kalimdor, in order to strike back
against the threat of the Old God C'Thun and its qiraji at Ahn'Qiraj.[66][67]
At some point, Thrall learned from Drek'Thar about the history of the orcish race
back in Draenor and started writing a book about this. For the first time, when
Durotar and Orgrimmar were founded and built, Thrall and his orcs could participate
in old orcish ceremonials, such as Om'riggor. Later, a human spy brought a message,
that draenei led by Prophet Velen crashed on Azeroth and joined the Alliance.
Thrall was worried that with this joining, there could be no peace.[68]
The Burning Crusade

Bc icon.gif This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade.
Thrall speaks to Garrosh of his father, Grommash Hellscream.
During the Year 25, Thrall entered negotiations with Quel'Thalas about joining the
Horde.[69] He openly opposed the blood elves' methods, but recognized the Blood
Knights' strategic value.[70] Eventually, Thrall greeted the blood elven
adventurers that proved their people's value and were sent by Sylvanas Windrunner
to Thrall in order to formalize Quel'Thalas joining the Horde.[71]
A faction of orcs exists in Outland, who remained untouched by demonic corruption.

These orcs call themselves The Mag'har, and are comprised of various orcish clans
who chose not to join Magtheridon's legion of fel orcs and appear to have been
completely unaffected by the corruption wrought by Kil'jaeden. Thrall sent the
Horde expedition to invade Outland in order to find and reconnect with the Mag'har.
[72] Upon hearing the news that the expedition found them, Thrall immediately made
plans to journey to Outland and make contact with the Mag'har. Eitrigg urged Thrall
to make the proper preparations, instead of leaving Orgrimmar and the rest of the
orcs on Azeroth open to attack.[73]
Later on, Thrall alongside Drek'Thar made a brief appearance in Outland and met his
grandmother Geyah and showed Garrosh Hellscream his father Grom died a hero's
death, and ended the Blood Curse. During this meeting, Greatmother Geyah reveals
Thrall's birth name: Go'el, son of Durotan — rightful chieftain of the Frostwolves.

Theramore peace summit

comics.
Thrall meets Varian.
Thrall in the comic.
After he returned from the ruins of Draenor, Thrall brought with him Garrosh
Hellscream, son of Grommash Hellscream, to be his adviser. Later on the retired
gladiator master Rehgar Earthfury also became one of Thrall's advisers. Rehgar and
Garrosh had a great discussion: while Garrosh wanted to destroy the Alliance, who
he considers the Horde's enemies, and take Azeroth for their own; Rehgar wanted to
remain open to diplomacy with the Alliance and conserve their treaty of non-
aggression with Theramore. Then suddenly Thrall received a call from Jaina to meet
at Razor Hill. At their meeting, Jaina told him that Varian had returned and
narrated to Thrall the history of Varian's abduction. With Varian's return and
willing attendance, Jaina wanted to schedule another peace summit at Theramore Isle
in the hopes of easing tensions between the Horde and Alliance. Though Thrall felt
uneasy about leaving Orgrimmar during a period when the orcs were feeling restless
with Thrall's passive tolerance with the Alliance, Thrall nonetheless agreed to
attend the summit.[75]
When Thrall decided to go to a new meeting with the human King Varian, he brought
with him his two advisers: Rehgar and Garrosh[76] and some Kor'kron.[77] Rehgar
recommended Thrall not to bring Garrosh with them but the Warchief thought it would
be a good idea as it would help Garrosh to re-think his attitude toward the humans.
[76]
Thrall traveled in a zeppelin to Theramore,[76] where he had a peaceful discussion

with an eye toward mutual gain. They first talked of their pasts and then discussed
resource problems; like the Horde's war against the night elves for lumber. Varian
offered to provide Thrall's people with lumber and in exchange the Warchief offered
copper and exotic hides in return. Varian had to end the summit early as Goldshire
and Southshore were reported to be under simultaneous distress by the Scourge.
Thrall and Varian were about to depart amicably but upon exiting Theramore, the
Twilight's Hammer cult invaded the city. The Alliance races of the Twilight
cultists attacked the Horde representatives while the Horde races of the Twilight
cultists attacked the Alliance representatives. After catching a glimpse of Garona,
Varian thought that Thrall had sent her to assassinate him as the Shadow Council
had done in the past with his father.[77] After a time battling, the Twilight's
Hammer's casualties began to rise. Med'an then entered to protect his mother, and
in seeing this, the cultists appointed their attention to the kidnapping of Med'an,
while leaving Garona to die. Garrosh accused the Alliance of orchestrating the
attack while Varian accused the Horde; specifically Garrosh. Thrall tried to calm
down the heated parties and remind them to not jump to conclusions. Thrall tried to
convince King Varian that Garona's unexpected assassination attempt was not of his
people's making yet Varian remained skeptical of the honor of orcs. Rehgar and
Valeera both were sure that neither Thrall nor Varian would stoop to an
assassination tactic on neutral ground and tried to rationalize the surprising turn
of events. Jaina and Thrall bid each other farewell, both sorry that any chance of
a human-orc alliance was ruined. This attack shook the delicate human-orc
tolerances, leaving both factions in distrust of one another. Shortly after, Thrall
departed back to his home of Orgrimmar.[78]
Thrall was later asked to join the New Council of Tirisfal but refused and in his
stead, Rehgar Earthfury joined the Council.
Echoes of Doom
Mak'gora between Thrall and Garrosh in the Ring of Valor, interrupted by the
Scourge attack on Orgrimmar.
Garrosh and Thrall do battle in the Ring of Valor (Comic).
Thrall arrived to Orgrimmar but the Lich King executed his plan and made a Zombie
Infestation. Grand Apothecary Putress was able to find a cure from the Scourge's
plague.[79] Seeing this threat, Thrall met with Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, Garrosh
Hellscream, Varok Saurfang, Grand Apothecary Putress[80] and Rehgar Earthfury[81]
in Orgrimmar to discuss what to do about the Scourge.[80]
After consulting Saurfang and the spirits, Thrall favored a more cautious approach
to dealing with the Scourge: an advance scouting party to the frozen continent
before committing troops, as well as meeting with Jaina Proudmoore to find out what
the Alliance were planning to do about the Lich King.[80] Garrosh felt that dealing
with the Alliance would put the Horde in danger and wanted to take the Horde's
armies and conquer the humans and then march to Northrend and crush the Scourge;
advocating that the Horde should rule all of Azeroth.[81] Thrall, irritated by
Garrosh's recklessness and bold challenges to his authority, answered that the
humans were not a threat[81] and that he would not underestimate the Lich King by
walking blindly into a Scourge trap.[80] In order to make an example of Garrosh's
impudence, Thrall then provoked Garrosh to challenge him to a duel by saying that
he would not make the same mistakes as his father, Grom Hellscream. Frustrated with
his leader's apparent lack of action and the insults to his father, Garrosh
challenged Thrall to a duel in the Ring of Valor to settle the matter.[80][81] The
two orcs fought for some time until it seemed Garrosh had gained the upper hand.
[80] He began to taunt Thrall, but the battle was interrupted by a Herald of the
Lich King threatening Orgrimmar with destruction.[80] Hearing this, Thrall used
[Chain Lightning] on Garrosh[81] and both left the ring, with Thrall telling the
younger Hellscream that they would settle their dispute later.[80][81] The city was
attacked by countless abominations and frost wyrms[80] and a few death knights.[81]
Thrall and Garrosh led the forces of the Horde in repelling the Scourge attack,
with the help of Saurfang, Sylvanas,[80] Rehgar,[81] the city defenders, and some
adventurers. After the Scourge assault force had been dealt with, Garrosh asked to
be sent to Northrend again. This time, Thrall agreed and ordered Saurfang to begin
preparations for war.[80]
Death knights adventurers freed of the Lich King's will visited Thrall in Orgrimmar
in order to be accepted to the Horde and gave him a letter in which Tirion asked to
have Eitrigg in Northrend. Thrall agreed.
Legends: Fear
comics.
Fleeing towards Northrend, Trag Highmountain avoided his kin and tried to slip past
the orcs. The corruption caused Trag to suffer from fits of violent thought, and he
felt he would eventually succumb to the power of the Lich King.
Trag encountered Thrall, who became aware of his presence through his shamanic
magic. Thrall offered to help, but Trag lost control of himself and the two
battled. Even after calming down, Trag warned him to run before Trag lost control
of himself again. Thrall outright refused to fight him, nor abandon him to fight
against the voice of the Lich King alone. Thrall then told of how he had once
feared becoming the animal Aedelas Blackmoore thought him to be, of falling into
bloodlust to escape that fear; but the truth is, bloodlust would have only hidden
his fear, leaving it to eat away at him forever. By bringing peace into his soul
(possibly by facing his fear and accepting that his past is part of who he is),
Thrall conquered his fear, survived, and found his redemption. If Thrall could do
it, if Grom Hellscream could do it, so too could Trag if he would allow Thrall to
help him. Trag denied that Thrall could do anything for him and warned him away
once more. Thrall again refused, and when told that he would be struck down in
accepting such a fate, he asked that Trag look him in the eyes "as you do so I know
my executioner".
Trag prepared to kill Thrall, only to see in his eyes that he truly does understand
Trag's fear, a calm understanding that allowed Thrall to beat his own fear, and
from which Trag now draws enough strength to deny the Lich King's demands to kill
him. Thrall offered him shelter and safety with the orcs, which Trag turned down;
he knew even better than Arthas that his fear would have turned him into a monster,
but can't fully trust himself around others just yet. He decided to continue to
Northrend and ensure for himself that he will never become one of the Scourge, even
if that means self-destruction. Thrall told him that a Horde fleet of ships on the
nearby shores of Durotar would be sailing north soon, and offered a small Frostwolf
clan mark should he need to contact orcs. Trag turned down the mark but thanked
Thrall for the offer; he was kind to someone who might have killed him. Thrall
admitted with a smile that he wouldn't have just stood there if Trag had tried, but
had judged the tauren correctly. Thrall said he would ask the spirits to watch over
Trag and to his surprise bid him farewell by name, even though Trag had not
mentioned it.
Trag stowed away on one of the ships and reached Northrend. Even though he was
almost sure that he would fail, more so that he would die, Trag was determined to
meet his fate...without fear.[82]
Wrath of the Lich King

Broken peace
Wrath of the Lich King This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich
King.
Thrall as he appears right before The Battle For The Undercity.
As the combined Horde and Alliance forces began their assault upon Angrathar the
Wrathgate, an uprising broke out within the Forsaken capital Undercity. Varimathras
and hordes of his demonic brethren overran the city, slaying all those who would
not submit to their dark rule. Sylvanas herself was nearly killed in the coup, but
managed to escape with a number of loyalists and fled to Orgrimmar. Determined not
to allow the Dreadlords a foothold in Horde territory, Thrall and Sylvanas planned
an immediate counter-attack. In the midst of their planning, Jaina Proudmoore
arrived bearing terrible news: in the wake of Bolvar Fordragon's death, King Varian
was preparing for a possible war with the Horde. Jaina had been sent to elicit an
explanation for the betrayal at the Wrathgate. Though Thrall and Sylvanas explained
that the Horde was not responsible for Putress, Jaina had warned them that King
Varian would most likely pursue retribution.
Thrall along with Sylvanas and Vol'jin led the assault into Undercity itself to
reclaim it for the Horde. After fighting the Forsaken rebels and the demons within,
the combined might of the Horde slew the traitorous demon Varimathras. The joy of
victory was short-lived as Varian, having killed Putress and hearing the orcish
cries of victory, arrived on the scene. He confronted Thrall and declared that
peace could never be achieved after discovering the horrors the Forsaken had
created in Undercity. Just as the two forces charged at one another, Jaina stopped
them from killing each other by teleporting Varian, herself and the Alliance army
back to Stormwind City. As Thrall lamented on the broken peace between the Alliance
and the Horde, Varok Saurfang arrived and reminded Thrall of his duty to lead their
people. In order to ensure that no more Legion-aligned abominations crawled out of
the Apothecarium, Thrall sent a legion of the Kor'kron led by Bragor Bloodfist to
guard the Undercity from threats outside of it and any that may remain within
following H [74] The Battle For The Undercity.
Secrets of Ulduar
King.
Thrall and Jaina watch Garrosh fight Varian.
When Brann Bronzebeard learned that the Old God Yogg-Saron had escaped his ancient
prison in Ulduar he hastily informed Rhonin, who asked Jaina to summon Thrall and
Varian to the Violet Citadel for an emergency council. Correctly guessing the
gravity of the situation, Thrall made haste to Dalaran with Garrosh. Upon arriving
at the Violet Citadel, he was intercepted by Jaina, who was desperate to avoid a
confrontation with Varian, who was already within. When Jaina told them what had
happened, Thrall listened to Garrosh's doubt with irritation, then proceeded to
Rhonin's chambers, where, predictably, Varian and Garrosh exchanged harsh words
that eventually led to a fight.
Thrall was unable to stop the fight, but a frustrated Rhonin succeeded in doing so.
Rhonin pleaded to all in the room to put aside their differences and work together
against their common threat. Varian flatly refused, citing the events of the
Wrathgate as a reason to never work with the Horde again and departed, while
Garrosh offered the opinion that a true warchief would never partner with cowards.
Thrall expressed disappointment at Garrosh's actions.[83]
Heart of War
After the events at Dalaran, Thrall and Garrosh travel to Warsong Hold. On the way,
Garrosh contemplates the past events where Thrall first brought Garrosh to
Orgrimmar. After defending Warsong Hold from an attack from the Scourge, Thrall
witnesses a report given from Icecrown about the Horde forces flanking the Alliance
during their assault at the Broken Front. Thrall watches as Garrosh deals with the
situation, telling the commander from Icecrown, Sky-Reaver Korm Blackscar, that the
Horde would fight with honor or not fight at all. Thrall, watching Garrosh, feels
proud of him for his decision.

War Against the Nightmare

Thrall, upon counseling with his most trusted shaman, gave Brox's Axe of Cenarius
to Thura.
The whole of Azeroth was caught by the Emerald Nightmare and so was the Warchief.
His wolf companion Snowsong felt mists of the Nightmare but it was too late.
Orgrimmar with its inhabitants had already fallen to the mists. After the threat of
Emerald Nightmare was over, Malfurion returned Thura to her Warchief and told him
of her significance in the events. Thrall then sent a letter of well wishes to
Tyrande and the archdruid. The bearer of the message was Thura.
Thrall also acted as a nightmare in Thura's dreams where he executed her for her
failure.[84]
comics.
In Thrall's nightmare, he was forced to continuously relive the moment of his dear
Taretha Foxton's death. Though he tried alternate ways to save her life, Tarethra
always ended up dying. Finally, Thrall attacked Durnholde with stealth and used
Blackmoore's own tactics, he reached the bedroom and found Taretha alive.
Blackmoore threw wine into Thrall's face and while blinded, Thrall killed Taretha.
The nightmare ended with Thrall crying in his sleep.[85]

Muln Earthfury traveled to Orgrimmar to seek Warchief Thrall's council on the
matter of the rising division between the Earthen Ring's traditionalists and
Shotoa's advocates of his modern and effective methods in dealing with elements.
Thrall was unsure on the matter and told Muln that change is a natural part of life
but it's only good if it's right for their people. He advised Muln to follow the
guidance of the spirits. Muln later relayed his fears with Drek'Thar about Thrall's
indecisive stance. Drek'Thar told him that it's his fault as his advice to Thrall
has been useless lately. Drek'Thar told Muln that lately he's been seeing two
futures and his visions have been less reliable for Thrall. Drek'Thar told Muln
that a time will come when the Earthen Ring will become Azeroth's salvation or lead
it to ruin. The Farseer suddenly became frantic and warned Muln about the “fire
that consumes all”.[86]
The Shattering
Thrall bestows upon Garrosh his father's famed axe.
Thrall's life would change in the events leading up to the Shattering.
When Garrosh Hellscream and his soldiers finally returned home from Northrend,
Thrall held a banquet in the young orc's honor and presented him with Gorehowl,
also authorizing bonfires to be lit in Orgrimmar. Thrall held a speech of problems
about the turbulence of nature and also of financial ones. It was decided that
Hamuul would go to a meeting with the Cenarion Circle in order to get help for the
Horde. Now, it was impossible to trade with the Alliance's night elves due to
estrangement. Unfortunately Durotar had been suffering a very severe drought
causing one of the bonfires to become a conflagration that destroyed several
buildings. Thrall himself tried to calm the flames using his shamanic powers but
found that the fire was hell-bent on destruction, resolving to snuff out the flames
forcibly, an act he regretted. He realized that something was very wrong with the
elements and that they were out of control, and pondered the situation.
There were other troubles, such as an orc attack on a group of Sentinels in

Ashenvale which was in direct violation of the Horde-Alliance treaty. The Sentinels
had been skinned and then chopped up into pieces, left for carrion feeders. Whether
or not they had been alive when they were skinned was debatable. The skins of the
murdered night elves were hung on trees that had painted Horde symbols depicted on
them; written with elven blood. Since the night elves have ceased to allow Horde
members into Ashenvale in protest of the incident at the Wrathgate, many orcs
celebrated this attack. With the Horde's supplies almost depleted on account of the
war with the Lich King and the unusual droughts affecting Orgrimmar, many orcs
viewed the night elves' exclusion of the Horde from their trade routes unfairly
brutal. He received a letter from King Varian Wrynn demanding to denounce the
attacks and turn over any attackers he could find to the Alliance for justice.
Thrall refused to turn over violators of the treaty (he had suspected but didn't
have proof and it would also hurt orc morale) and also refused to apologize for the
thievery of the night elves' goods, the murders, or the brutal methods in which
they were performed. Though he did express anger that the treaty had been violated,
his unwillingness to publicly reprimand those who use brutal methods to assault
Alliance members greatly weakened his popularity with Alliance leaders.
After a meeting with Jaina Proudmoore and Eitrigg, Thrall decided that he was going
to have to travel to Nagrand in Outland to converse with the elements there and try
to discover why the elements in Azeroth were so out of control. Before setting out
on his quest, Thrall appointed Garrosh Hellscream acting warchief of the Horde and
met with Cairne who was against this decision, though Thrall was certain that he
did the right thing.
Upon his arrival, he met with his grandmother, who advised him to turn to the
Mag'har female Aggra for shamanic instruction. Aggra wasn't particularly fond of
Thrall and often made comments about and toward him bordering on the snide,
sometimes referring to him as "Slave". Yet, she dutifully took him on a vision
quest in Garadar in order for him to become truly connected to the spirits, and a
true shaman. While in Nagrand, Thrall used the talbuk Shuk'sar for travels.
Thrall eventually met with the elements of Draenor, the Furies, all of whom except
the Fury of Earth were unable to help Thrall understand what was happening in
Azeroth. The Fury of Earth was able to help him after ingesting a small rock Thrall
had brought with him from Azeroth, and the Fury told him that the elements were
afraid of a shattering, a cataclysm akin to the one that had broken Draenor.
As Thrall prepared to return to Azeroth to attempt to prevent the cataclysm, Aggra

revealed that she had secretly been growing more and more attracted to him and
wanted to go with him to Azeroth, but only if he refused to be weak. Thrall
welcomed her company, as he too had begun to slowly grow closer to her. That was
when Perith Stormhoof arrived in Garadar to tell Thrall all that had transpired on
Azeroth - about Cairne, Garrosh and the Grimtotem attacks. Thrall returned to
Azeroth immediately, bringing Aggra with him.
He attended his old friend's funeral and bid his final farewell to his companion.
His heart was heavy knowing how his last encounter with his most cherished friend
consisted of harsh words. The former warchief took with him the smallest piece of
his old friend's runespear to forever remember him. The fragment was etched with a
single rune, whose meaning did not escape Thrall - "healing". It was there where he
put off the armor of Orgrim Doomhammer. Baine agreed to have it delivered to
Orgrimmar.
Not long after all this, a massive earthquake hit, which caused a tsunami to hit
Stormwind Harbor, a sinkhole to appear off the coast of Westfall, and the very
ground to split beneath Thrall's feet. Thrall decided to make his way to the
Maelstrom, which he sensed was the center area where the cataclysmic event was
coming from, to attempt to calm the elements. Aggra agreed to go with him, and they
set out together, sailing from Ratchet to the Maelstrom on a ship named "Draka's
Fury".

Cataclysm
Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.
Thrall's new appearance shortly after the Cataclysm.
Thrall, the Horde's warchief, is a living symbol of nobility, strength, and

unwavering courage. He led the orcs from the internment camps of Lordaeron into a
new era of freedom and prosperity, and under his leadership the Horde has
established itself as a major force on Azeroth. As a shaman, Thrall has a deep
connection with the elements, and their wisdom has proven to be a great boon to the
warchief. But although the Horde's faith in its warchief remains strong, some orcs
who relish the tales of orcish ferocity and martial prowess are frustrated with
Thrall's decisions. It remains to be seen whether his recent differences with
Garrosh Hellscream are a one-time event or a hint at the shape of things to come.
[87]
He first appears on the Lost Isles, part of the goblin starting zone, where he
helps bring the goblins into the Horde.[88] As the storyline plays out, it is
revealed that Thrall was captured by agents of SI:7 while sailing towards the
Maelstrom, and the goblins, having recently fled Kezan, play a part in rescuing
him. In gratitude Thrall aids the goblins in their battles across the Isles, where
after beating Trade Prince Gallywix, he proclaims that the Cartel will join the
Horde and have a home in Azshara, and allows Gallywix to remain as the Cartel's
leader; sending goblin agents to speak with Thrall's successor Garrosh Hellscream.
As tensions within the Horde begin to rise in Thrall's absence, notably between
Warchief Garrosh and Chieftain Vol'jin, Thrall steps back into the picture to
reassure the Darkspear chieftain that Garrosh was the right choice to keep their
Horde united.[89]
As one of (if not the) pre-eminent shamans of Azeroth, Thrall steps away from his
duties as Warchief to join with the Earthen Ring. He journeys to the Maelstrom at
the center of the Great Sea, where Deathwing made his return to Azeroth from the
depths of Deepholm. The corrupted Aspect's entry has shattered the barriers between
Azeroth and the Elemental Plane, and Thrall lends his powers to stabilize the rift.
Thrall is also seen during a nightmare caused by Iso'rath. There, he desperately

watches as his friends, Nobundo, Aggra and Muln are killed by the Aspect.

Twilight of the Aspects

Cover artwork of Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects.
Following Thrall's failure to delve deep into himself during a relatively routine
ritual alongside the other mighty shaman of the Earthen Ring, Thrall and Aggra
begin to feel the strain of life at the Maelstrom. Despite the encouraging words of
his good friends Nobundo and Rehgar, Thrall finds himself at a loss as to how best
to aid his comrades. Aggra outs this doubt to pertain to his longing for the Horde,
which Thrall angrily denies. After some argumentation, Thrall leaves their
sanctuary to clear his head and gain some clarity.
Elsewhere, events are being put into motion beyond Thrall's control. After the
Wyrmrest Temple was attacked and taken over by the Twilight's Hammer cult,
Alexstrasza's consort Korialstrasz had seemingly betrayed the Accord; destroying
the sanctums underneath the temple and all of the unhatched eggs in the process.
Distraught, the embittered Life-Binder officially disbanded the Accord and fled the
scene. Ysera, who was present to witness this, appears before Thrall in her
kaldorei guise.
Ysera asks Thrall to undertake a journey - of seemingly minor proportions - to

relieve a small druid camp in Feralas of a rampant fire elemental. Though Thrall is
dubious as to why a shaman needed at the Maelstrom itself would be tasked with such
a thing, he quickly accepts upon learning of his new companion's true identity.
With Ysera's urging, Thrall and Snowsong set out to the find the camp and relieve
its inhabitants. Thrall is surprised to see that the camp is inhabited mainly by
night elf sentinels, though after some mutual hostility, Thrall converses with the
fire elemental (its attitude reminiscent of those who had attacked Orgrimmar prior
to the cataclysm) and convinces it to leave. Thrall's reputation with the gathered
kaldorei increases immensely, and the former warchief spends the evening feasting
and drinking with them as friends.
Having succeeded in his small task, an elf named Desharin approached Thrall and
urges him to come into the local woodland. After speaking with the relieved
ancients, Desharin reveals himself as a green dragon; informing Thrall that Ysera
has a far more important task for him and him alone.
Desharin takes Thrall to the Caverns of Time, where they are admitted entry by the
bronze dragons on Ysera's behalf. While there, the two are attacked by a mysterious
human in eerily familiar armor. Desharin is beheaded by the assailant, and he and
Thrall do battle. The figure is able to match Thrall's abilities with a strange
mastery over time; cloaking his presence to deliver devastating blows upon the
former warchief. The bronze dragons relieve the battle, and Thrall is instructed to
flee through a time portal. As he makes his leave, Thrall cannot help but sense a
strong aura of familiarity from the attacker.
On the other end of the time portal, Thrall finds himself at a late point in the
Second War of an alternate timeline. Though overwhelmed by the possibilities - such
as meeting with Doomhammer - he remains mindful that the timeline must be
preserved. He is mistaken as a warlock by an orcish patrol party, and taken to a
neighboring base camp. To Thrall's astonishment, he catches a glimpse of none other
than Doomhammer himself inside, along with his parents - both Durotan and Draka.
After struggling to avert his gaze from them, he is approached by Draka (with an
infant Thrall in tow), and after an awkward conversation with his mother, leaves to
escort his parents to safety with the patrol who picked him up to begin with. This
patrol party was none other than the one responsible for betraying his parents on
the orders of Gul'dan - and Thrall is forced to watch his parents be killed by
them, firsthand. Thrall throws himself into the fray as the violence ends, and
exercises all of the restraint within him to let their sole surviving killer live,
for the sake of the timeline.
Shattered, Thrall approaches the body of his father. He swears to a dying Durotan
that his child will live, that their people would be redeemed, and that the orcs
will have a land of their own. Durotan dies secure in this knowledge. Desharin's
murderer makes a reappearance in this timeway - and attacks Thrall once more. He
informs Thrall that his death is all that's on his agenda, and that killing him as
a child will be far easier than his adult self. As Blackmoore approaches the
infant, such as proper in the true timeline, Thrall grabs his attacker and hurls
him into a neighboring river. The two struggle for a time, though after noticing a
curious glittering of bronze scales, Thrall is taken to another point in time and
his attacker disappears once more.
Thrall comes face to face with a slightly older Taretha; embittered by what appears
to have been a far harsher life. After convincing her that he is who he says he is
(and showing her an identical necklace to prove it), Taretha informs him of some
damning news - in this timeline, Thrall had died as a child. Blackmoore, robbed of
his prized future-gladiator, did the unexpected: rather than fall further into
drink and depression, he sobered up; conscripted mercenaries into his new army, and
trained them all himself. Gaining huge support, Blackmoore led his army against
Orgrim Doomhammer, and slew the Horde warchief in one-on-one combat. Rather than
have the stunned orcs killed, Blackmoore engaged in a secret pact with them - to
join him, and overthrow the Alliance. Blackmoore's personal army usurped the
kingdom of Lordaeron and deposed House Menethil, during which King Terenas
Menethil, Uther the Lightbringer and Anduin Lothar were killed.
Thrall can barely believe it, especially the thought of the pathetic, drunk
Blackmoore taking down the mighty Orgrim in a fair battle. He and Taretha travel to
Dalaran, where they are admitted to Krasus' presence. Thrall grants him the
ancient's acorn, and Krasus warily assists Thrall and Taretha in finding a way to
break this false timeway. The three come to realize that not only is their
"timeline" false; but rather, "time" itself was the illusion here. The
understanding allows him to leave the timeway, and Thrall finally finds the Aspect
of Time, Nozdormu, awaiting him.
Thrall does battle with the twilight dragonflight.
Nozdormu begins to piece together the various events occurring in both the
alternate the true timeline. To Thrall's - and the onlooking bronze dragons' -
immense shock, Nozdormu informs him that the great Aspect's retreat from the world
was in order to discover the cause of a dire event destined to happen in the future
and to avert it. This event would be Nozdormu founding and presiding over the
Infinite Dragonflight. Nozdormu also admits that, as such, he was also responsible
for sending the assassin after Thrall. At this point, Thrall comes to realize his
mysterious assailant's identity - the missing Blackmoore from the false timeline.
Regardless of this pressing matter, Nozdormu thanks Thrall for giving him clarity;
setting him another task: to find and (hopefully) lift Alexstrasza from her grief
over Krasus' demise, and to convince the blue dragonflight to set aside its
differences with the others and join forces against the impending darkness.
Thrall and Tick set out to confront the bereaved Life-Binder, and the two find her
in the barren wasteland of Desolace. Though Alexstrasza rebukes his comfort and
banishes him from her sight, Thrall does not give up hope for the Life-Binder just
yet. Thrall then makes the journey to the Nexus, and after an extremely cold
reception, is admitted audience with Arygos and Kalecgos. Though Kalecgos goes out
of his way to make his orcish visitor comfortable; conjuring scenery of Horde-
designed indulgences to make him seem more at home; Arygos is on edge with the
visitor and even goes so far as to suggest his death. Thrall learns that the blue
dragonflight is in the process of electing its next Aspect, and that the two most
likely candidates are Malygos' ferocious son, Arygos himself, and none other than
Kalecgos. An event known as the "Embrace" is set to occur shortly; a time where the
two moons of Azeroth meet in what cosmetically appears to be the form of a mother
embracing her child, hence the name. This sacred event heralds a celestial time for
the blue dragons, and their best chance of truly empowering a new Aspect for their
flight. To Thrall's great relief, and to Kalecgos' great bemusement, Kalecgos is
chosen as the new Aspect. The flight as a whole are pleased with this decision, and
watch eagerly as their new leader is empowered by the titans' might. Arygos,
enraged, curses the flight for fools; abandoning Coldarra.
As the flight begins to celebrate its new leader's ascension, twilight dragons
interrupt the ceremony. Thrall leaps atop Kalec's back, and the two prove a
formidable fighting force. After disposing of several of the creatures, the blues
give chase to the fleeing remainder. They arrive at the Wyrmrest Temple, and catch
sight of the semi-functional Chromatus. Regardless, the blues press on; fighting
back the twilight dragonflight with efficiency. Chromatus - now awakened with the
blood of the murdered Arygos - engages in the battle, and cuts a swathe of
destruction through the blues. Thrall is hurled off Kalec in the ensuing chaos and
finds his footing in the snow. As he calls upon the aid of the elements, he is
granted a peculiar vision of Krasus' final moments, and resolves to inform the
Life-Binder of the truth behind his demise.
Thrall is brutally attacked by a newly-arrived Blackmoore. Wielding the Doomhammer

in tandem with his powerful elemental skill, Thrall catches his mortal enemy off-
guard. Blackmoore is lambasted by Thrall's summoned wind-vortex and collapses on
the floor before his former slave. As Thrall moves in to deal the final blow,
Blackmoore begs for his life. Though Thrall takes no pleasure in the act, he
refuses to relent; bringing the Doomhammer down upon Blackmoore and conquering the
shadow he cast over Thrall's life for good.
Elsewhere, the blue dragons were beaten back by the powerful Chromatus. Kalec has
Thrall rescued by one of his drakes, though the strain of leadership in the wake of
their defeat begins to gnaw at the new Aspect of Magic. Thrall encourages Kalec to
remain strong, and he leaves once more for Desolace.
Thrall finds Alexstrasza in an even more shattered state. He shares with her the
vision he was granted, and in solemn silence, the two witness Krasus' heroic
sacrifice to protect the Wyrmrests' unhatched children from being born as chromatic
beasts. Reinvigorated and regaining her confidence, the Life-Binder travels to the
Nexus to join forces with the new Aspect of Magic.
Before long, the red, blue, and green dragonflights are reunited with their
respective Aspects. With their might combined, they leave to do battle with the
murderous Chromatus and his ilk. After a vicious battle, Chromatus reaches his full
potential - and overpowers all three of the mighty Aspects. The downhill fight is
relieved by the arrival of Nozdormu and his bronze flight, and the Aspect of Time
puts forward the notion that they will need to work together, in the most
fundamental sense of the word, to defeat this creature that embodies all of their
traits and powers. Chromatus has a head for each dragonflight, and there are no
black dragons present to assist in this task - though Thrall, as a shaman, offers
to take on that role. In their humanoid forms, the aspects open themselves along
with Thrall to truly gain a sense of unity; and while he struggles to hold the
ceremony together, Thrall succeeds in his role in Neltharion‘s stead. Knowing that
he could never become as Aspect, he remains content with the notion that he could
assist his allies in their hour of need.
The four Aspects launch a volley of powerful abilities at the stunned Chromatus,
who cannot bring himself to counter the volatile new powers at their disposal. The
chromatic dragon is blasted downwards; the Twilight Father in tow.
Chromatus' lifeless body is stored in a specifically-made arcane prison by the blue

dragonflight, as it seems impossible to completely eradicate him.
Later, the Aspects and Thrall meet on the top of Wyrmrest temple, where Nozdormu
informs the group of a plot by the Old Gods To destroy the dragonflights. The hour
of Twilight was fast approaching and the Dragonflights, thanks to Thrall's help,
will now be ready to face it. Thrall is given both the thanks and a scale each of
the dragon aspects; in return for assistance asking only for a way to travel back
to the Maelstrom.
Tick takes him back to Aggra's side, where the two orcs overcome their past
differences. Thrall acknowledges that he has been a slave to outside influences his
entire life, though resolves to see that end.
Knowing that greater trials still approach on the horizon, Thrall casts off his
name; proclaiming himself as "Go'el."[90]
Rage of the Firelands
Thrall has a vision of the Firelord.
At the Maelstrom, Thrall strains himself attempting to commune with the elements.
Able to feel how broken the world is, and with the elements remaining silent for
him, Thrall tells Aggra that he will have to work without limits to fulfill this
task. As he ponders the meaning of this, his elemental calls are finally answered -
by none other than Ragnaros the Firelord. Ragnaros gives Thrall a vision of the
Firelands, ensuring him that its flames will engulf both the world tree and the
world beyond it, showing Thrall's reinforced home of Orgrimmar washed over in a
tide of fire as the final Hour of Twilight approaches. Stunned, Thrall falls to the
ground, and the cackling Firelord dissipates. Thrall then begins his journey to
Mount Hyjal with Aggra.
After the druids and their allies thwarted the invasion of Hyjal by the Twilight's
Hammer and Ragnaros, an air of peace settled on the sacred mountain. As new growth
bloomed across the region, members of the Earthen Ring and Cenarion Circle, along
with the noble Dragon Aspects, convened at the ancient World Tree of Nordrassil.
Among the gathered heroes were the legendary archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, the
former Horde warchief and accomplished shaman Thrall, and his strong-willed
companion, Aggra. Together, this illustrious assemblage was to unite its wondrous
powers and restore the World Tree for the good of Azeroth.
Yet this auspicious event ended in tragedy. The details are still unclear, but word
has spread that an incredibly powerful Twilight's Hammer agent, shrouded to hide
his identity, interrupted the ceremony and struck down Thrall with dark magics...
casting his spirit into the four domains of the Elemental Plane. If these terrible
rumors hold true, the Earthen Ring—indeed, all of Azeroth—has potentially lost one
of its greatest champions. While the Aspects concede that Thrall may be lost to the
elements forever, Aggra believes that her mate can be saved and calls on the aid of
adventurers of both the Horde and the Alliance to venture into the Skywall, the
Abyssal Maw, Deepholm, and Firelands to rescue her beloved from an eternity of
torment. Before adventurers can return Thrall's spirit to the natural world they
must help him overcome his doubts, his willfulness, his desires and his rage before
he is bound to his elemental cage.[91]
The identity of Thrall's assailant is revealed to be none other than the former
Archdruid of Darnassus, Fandral Staghelm - now allied with Ragnaros and Deathwing.
Noting that an individual known as the "Twilight Prophet" had deemed Thrall the
cult's final obstacle, Fandral goes about removing him from the picture - not with
death, but turning Thrall's great bond with the elements against him; his raw
essence scattered to their elemental domains. Aggra is unwilling to give up on
Thrall - and resolves to restore her mate's essence in its entirety.
His self-doubt manifests itself in the plane of wind, where Thrall expresses regret
over his decision to pronounce Garrosh Warchief, noting that he will lead the Horde
to ruin. He mentions that he has failed both the Horde and the Earthen Ring, and
that he is unworthy of Aggra. He laments that he believes his own weakness has
delivered Azeroth into the face of ruin. The plane of water displays Thrall's
desire, where he is seen laying down his weapon in front of Varian and making peace
with his enemies. It was also shown that he desired to be free of the burdens of
leadership and start a family with Aggra. Thrall's patience is viewed in the plane
of earth, where he is frozen in stone to symbolize his patience and resolve.
Thrall's raw, unhinged emotion is seen in the various elemental planes - fire,
where Thrall's hatred towards Gul'dan, for the murder of his parents is witnessed;
Varian, for declaring war upon the Horde; Blackmoore, for the act of forcibly
enslaving another; and even Thrall's rage towards Garrosh for his role in Cairne's
demise is seen.
Ultimately, Thrall's essence is restored. He stands before Aggra, as Go'el, son of

Durotan. They returned to the world tree, where Thrall declared his love for Aggra,
and the two became life mates. With his resolve renewed, Thrall overcomes his
predicament, with the chains that had once bound him shattered—all that he once
was, and more.

Charge of the Aspects

As Thrall and the other Aspects, including the newly-elevated Kalecgos, debated on
how to defeat Deathwing, the shaman's spirit communed with the earth and took an
earthen form. It was there that he encountered Deathwing, using the power of the
Old Gods to imprison his spirit within. The corrupted Aspect mocked Thrall,
believing that the Aspects sought to replace him as Earth-Warder with the mortal
shaman, and claiming that the "gift" he had been granted by the Titans - his charge
to defend Azeroth - was, in fact, a curse, imprisoning him to his duty. To
demonstrate, he allowed Thrall to experience what it was like to have the weight of
the earth on his shoulders, claiming that this was what the Aspects wanted - "to
damn you to a life of eternal torment", as Deathwing stated it. He then unleashed a
series of scathing attacks against Thrall's earthen form; because the shaman had
embraced Azeroth, and Azeroth embraced him, his "wounds" materialized in the
physical world in the form of earthquakes. Finally, the Aspects called on the
Earthen Ring and the Cenarion Circle to break Deathwing's hold, bringing Thrall
back to himself.
The Aspects decided that in order to defeat Deathwing, they would have to acquire
the Dragon Soul in its "purest form" - a period not long after its creation, during
the War of the Ancients ten millennia earlier. As the Soul was imbued with a
powerful enchantment to prevent dragonkind from ever using it, the Aspects called
on Thrall to be the wielder of the Dragon Soul in the battle against Deathwing.
Hour of Twilight
Thrall fighting Deathwing with the Dragon Soul.
With Mount Hyjal secure and the firelord defeated, Thrall is tasked by the dragon
aspects with taking the place of the maddened Earth-Warder once more. To this end,
the defenders of Azeroth acquire the much-coveted Dragon Soul from a pivotal point
in the past. Ultimately, heroes of Azeroth are successful in both claiming the
Dragon Soul and averting a cataclysmic alternate future, woven by the corrupted
aspect of time, Murozond. The Dragon Soul is delivered to Thrall, who makes his way
to Wyrmrest Temple in order to defeat Neltharion for good.
Fighting his way through the snow-covered vestiges of an old god-corrupted

Dragonblight, Thrall does battle with a formidable ice ascendant named Arcurion and
a treacherous blood elven contract killer known as Asira Dawnslayer. After claiming
victory, Thrall heals the drake she had slain and makes his way to the inner
sanctum of the temple astride it. As heroes arrive to rejoin forces with Go'el, the
Twilight Prophet (former Archbishop Benedictus) makes an appearance - and attacks
Thrall in an attempt to take back the Dragon Soul. Like Asira before him,
Benedictus falls before Thrall, and the son of Durotan leaves to make preparations
for the final battle.
With the Dragon Soul in hand, Thrall and the dragon aspects Alexstrasza, Ysera,
Nozdormu, and Kalecgos prepare to defeat Deathwing, while the united dragonflights
and a group of mortal heroes fend off attacks from the forces of Twilight. Atop
Wyrmrest, moments after the defeat of the twilight dragon Ultraxion, Thrall
unleashes the artifact's power directly at Deathwing, damaging his armor and
causing the Aspect of Death to attempt an escape. Chasing Deathwing in an Alliance
gunship, the adventurers leap onto the corrupted Aspect and remove his elementium
plating, giving Thrall a big enough opening to blast Deathwing again. The Destroyer
falls from the sky and crashes into the Maelstrom.
Thrall and the Aspects briefly rejoice at the end of the Destroyer, only for him to
suddenly rise from the Maelstrom, his form melting into a molten mass of
unfathomable power. The adventurers work alongside the Aspects, preventing
Deathwing from bringing about the final Cataclysm, and giving Thrall the chance to
fire the third and final blast from the Dragon Soul, completely obliterating
Deathwing. Thrall feels the elements "awakening", relieved that the Cataclysm is
over. Alexstrasza explains that the Aspects have expended their ancient power and
fulfilled their duties. She then reveals that Aggra is pregnant, much to Thrall's
delight.

Tides of War
After Deathwing's death Muln Earthfury decided to make Thrall, who has seemingly
decided to be called by his birth name; Go'el, the leader of the Earthen Ring.
Sometime afterwards, Thrall and Jaina meet in secret where they were discussing
Garrosh. Jaina urged Thrall to return to the Horde and reign in Garrosh's
warmongering. Thrall maintained that he has found a new path and his work with the
Earthen Ring was too important to abandon. After changing the conversation to his
new life mate Aggra, Thrall tells Jaina that he hopes that she will find someone
like he has. In response, Jaina, who bitterly thought of both Kael'thas Sunstrider
and Arthas Menethil, told him that she made better friends than love interests.
After the fall of Northwatch Hold and the Theramore, Eitrigg sent a courier with a
message for Thrall at the Maelstrom. Deciding that his fellow shaman deserved to
hear the message, Thrall told the courier to read the message out loud in public
rather than in private. The gathered members of the Earthen Ring were horrified to
hear that molten giants were enslaved during the fall of Northwatch. They were even
further distraught and horrified with the knowledge that Theramore was destroyed by
a mana bomb. As all had assumed that no one survived the blast, Thrall believed
that Jaina was dead. This unpleasant news caused Farseer Nobundo to inform Thrall
that the Earthen Ring would understand if he were to go back to the Horde and that
they could continue to heal the land without him. Thrall knew that nothing was
greater than healing the damage done by the Cataclysm and so remained while
remarking to himself that even if Jaina's ghost were to come to him and demand
vengeance he would still reply no.
Later on Thrall and several others noticed that their efforts in healing the damage
at the Maelstrom seemed to have less of an effect. As Thrall and Aggra went to
converse with Muln about the subject, Thrall was shown a vision of Orgrimmar being
drowned and destroyed by water elementals. While experiencing the vision, water
elementals informed Thrall that they did not want to carry out such an act and
become enslaved for all eternity. When he asked where the person who was going to
enslave them was, he was shown a vision of Fray Island. When the vision ended, he
informed his fellow Earthen Ring members about what he experienced. While Muln
expressed the desire for all of them to help, Nobundo pointed out that Thrall was
the only who received the vision and as such only Thrall should go. After Aggra
told him that she understood the task was his alone, Thrall departed to Fray
Island.
Upon arriving, Thrall discovered to his joy that Jaina Proudmoore was alive. That
joy soon turned to horror upon realizing that it was Jaina trying to enslave water
elementals and destroy his people. While trying to reason and plead with her to
spare those in Orgrimmar from her retaliation for Garrosh's actions, Thrall was
stunned to hear that Jaina blamed Theramore's destruction on him as Thrall had put
Garrosh in charge of the Horde and did not return when she tried to convince him
to. While shocked at her words, Thrall admitted that he blamed himself and asked
that Jaina need not seek vengeance for Theramore by killing his people. In
response, Jaina retorted that her father was right in believing that orcs were
monsters and sent out a giant tsunami at Orgrimmar.
Calling upon the Spirit of Air for aid, Thrall was able to keep the tsunami at bay
and soon learned that Jaina had gotten hold of the Focusing Iris. Trying to reason
with his old friend, Thrall told her that while her pain was justified, innocent
lives should not be killed for Garrosh's actions. In response, Jaina attacked
Thrall, not with the intent to distract him but with the intent to kill. While
reeling from this revelation, Thrall found that he could not bring himself to try
and kill Jaina. Unwilling to kill Jaina, Thrall continued to plead for her to see
reason by claiming that she should fight Garrosh, not innocent children who
deserved to have a future. Jaina bitterly retorted that those who died in agony at
Theramore have no future and Jaina pushed with all her might to unleash the wave
under her command.
While Thrall found himself keeping the tsunami in check, he completely found
himself at Jaina's mercy. Unwillingly to obey Jaina's order to release the tsunami,
Thrall declared that she would have to kill him. Consumed by her quest of
vengeance, Jaina began to gather energy in her hand but suddenly, the blue dragon
Kalecgos arrived. When both, the dragon and the orc, told Jaina in their own ways
to stop or she would turn back on everything that was right, Jaina retorted that
she was only doing what she knew to be right. To Jaina's complete shock, Kalecgos
told her that Arthas believed that same during the Culling of Stratholme. The
dragon further told her that Arthas did not react with hatred in his heart and then
asked her if she wanted to be remembered as another Garrosh, another Arthas.
Reeling from such knowledge, Jaina's hatred left her and she poised herself. Jaina
declared that she had hundreds of elementals enslaved to her and that she would use
them to protect the Alliance. She further declared that Garrosh and the Horde, for
as long as Garrosh was its leader, were her enemies from now on.
As Jaina's tsunami fractured into water elementals, Thrall was freely able to move.
Informing Jaina that her heart would be glad for her choice, he was told that he
did not know her heart anymore. Realizing that the friendship held between them was
another casualty of the destruction of Theramore, Thrall mentioned that the coming
war would change Azeroth as much as the cataclysm. Thrall informed Jaina and
Kalecgos that he has pledged to heal the world and mentioned that he wished he and
"Lady Jaina" had departed in another way. Being told that Jaina felt the same but
that wishes meant nothing, Thrall nodded and then departed back towards the
Maelstrom.

Landfall
Thrall, having finished his job at the Maelstrom, he wanted to resign from the
politics and train young shaman in Durotar and live in peace with his beloved Aggra
and their newborn son Durak.[12] He was soon roped into Garrosh's conflict after
the Warchief attempts (and fails) to murder Vol'jin. Narrowly surviving the attempt
on his life with the help of Chen Stormstout and Horde heroes, Vol'jin has them
contact Thrall and save the Echo Isles from Garrosh's tyranny. Thrall leaves to do
so, reiterating what his vision of the Horde—when it was simply an idea in the
desert of Durotar—had first entailed.
Thrall finds the isles under martial law, the Darkspear rounded up by Thrall's very
own Kor'kron. After relieving the isles of their control, Thrall ponders how best
to deal with Garrosh, concluding that simply challenging him for the right to the
Horde would be ill-advised at this point. Instead, he takes up leadership of the
isles in the Darkspear heroes' absence and plans to confer with Vol'jin before
making any rash moves.
Escalation
Following Vol'jin's return to Durotar, Thrall journeys to Sen'jin Village to
reunite with his old friend and Chen Stormstout. It is there where Vol'jin openly
begins the Darkspear Rebellion and the forces of Sen'jin are aided by Horde heroes
when the village comes under Kor'kron attack. During the attack, Thrall and Chen
worked side by side against the Kor'kron, as the heroes help push back the
invaders. With Sen'jin Village secure, Vol'jin proposes an attack on Razor Hill
that is briefly halted when the shadow hunter objects to Thrall's plan to journey
to Orgrimmar. While understanding Vol'jin worries that Hellscream's forces would
kill him if he entered, Thrall is adamant about finding dissidents against his
successor in Orgrimmar. After asking Vol'jin to look after his mate and son should
anything happen to him, Thrall journeys to Orgrimmar.
Siege of Orgrimmar
Thrall alongside Varok reached the gate to Orgrimmar only to be stopped by the
Kor'kron guard and Nazgrim. Nazgrim sent the Kor'kron away and allowed Thrall and
Varok to enter but he had no guarantees for their safety. They entered the
Underhold (probably learning about it from Eitrigg) where they faced the mantid.
Varok was badly hurt and urged on Thrall to continue. Thrall entered a throne room
in the Underhold and confronted Garrosh, who explained that his dark shaman had
corrupted the land, making it impossible for Thrall to call upon the spirits.
Thrall engaged Garrosh in melee combat but was soundly defeated. Garrosh himself
was subsequently defeated by adventurers.
Thrall attempted to execute Garrosh with the Doomhammer, but he was stopped by
Varian Wrynn, who argued that Garrosh's punishment was not for Thrall alone to
decide. Taran Zhu said Garrosh should stand trial in Pandaria. Varian and Thrall
agreed and stood down. After Garrosh was led away in chains, Vol'jin told Thrall
that the Horde needed its true Warchief back. After pointing out that it was
Vol'jin who held the Horde together and preserved its honor, Thrall knelt before
Vol'jin and pledged to follow his leadership.

War Crimes
During the meeting to decide who would be Garrosh's defender, Thrall stated that he
had admired the tauren ever since meeting Cairne Bloodhoof. When Baine Bloodhoof
thought this cannot be happening since Garrosh slew his father (due to Magatha
Grimtotem poisoning Gorehowl, causing Garrosh to inadvertently kill him), Thrall
suggested Baine should be Garrosh's defender. Baine did, after some coaxing from
Vol'jin, accept the responsibility of defending Garrosh and promised he would do
his job to the utmost whatever his misgivings. On the fourth day of the trial Go'el
was called as a witness by Tyrande Whisperwind, Garrosh's accuser. Tyrande
questioned Go'el about his past up until the events of the Siege of Orgrimmar and
his appointing of Garrosh as warchief of the Horde and, with the help of Chronormu
and the [Vision of Time], showed a vision of when Thrall appointed Garrosh
warchief. Go'el realized after Tyrande's examination that, as grueling as Tyrande's
had been, Baine's examination would be far worse.
Baine started his examination with questioning Go'el on whether he believed Garrosh
threatened his vision of the Horde and then proceeded to, with the help of
Kairozdormu and the Vision of Time, show a vision of when Go'el slew Aedelas
Blackmoore, but not before giving him a sword with which to fight so that he could
die with honor. Baine then proceeded to ask Go'el why he would not treat Garrosh
the same as he had Blackmoore and was ready to kill Garrosh in Orgrimmar after he
had been defeated. Baine's question led to some disturbance in the courtroom and
objections from Tyrande. When asked by Taran Zhu to make his point Baine had Kairoz
show another vision, this one of when Go'el was captured by the Druids of the flame
and his essence was scattered to each elemental plane. The vision showed Go'el
telling of his regrets such as the death of Cairne Bloodhoof. Another vision took
place straight after, this one of Cairne meeting with Go'el just before he left to
go to Nagrand just before the Shattering. In the vision, Cairne attempted to
convince Go'el that it was a mistake to make Garrosh the warchief but the
conversation ended in argument as Go'el left for the Dark Portal. After the vision
Baine claimed that Garrosh had also made mistakes and asked Go'el, if he could go
back to the moment, would he still try to kill Garrosh in Orgrimmar. Go'el,
surprised by his answer, said that he wouldn't. After Baine was finished with his
questioning Tyrande stated that she had one more vision to show, claiming that it
was a possible end had Go'el made a different choice. The vision was of the hour of
twilight where everything was dead, the only living things being Twilight dragons,
and Deathwing was impaled upon Wyrmrest Temple.
When Garrosh was to be sentenced on the ninth day, he and Kairoz escaped through a
time portal using the vision of time. Alternate copies of many of the people
present then emerged from the portal, including one of Go'el. Pirates and
Dragonmaw, led by Warlord Zaela to cover Garrosh's escape also burst into the
courtroom and joined in the fight. The alternate Go'el was wearing human armor and
wore the tabard of Aedelas Blackmoore and was a version of himself where
Blackmoore's plans had come to fruition and Thrall had never escaped Durnholde. The
two orcs fought but the Go'el of the true timeline had the advantage as he had
trained with the elements where the other had not. He and the others were able to
defeat their alternate selves when Xuen told them that they had to accept these
alternate versions of themselves, which they did. Go'el realized that this
alternate version of himself was a Thrall, in every sense of the word, and that
name allowed him to realize what he had left behind and that he was now Go'el.
After the battle Go'el went to find Aggra and embraced her. Go'el saw that the
others had won their battles as well but was interrupted when Varian burst in
carrying a mortally wounded Jaina. Jaina had been shot in the chest by Shokia who
had arrived with Zaela, and both Go'el and Aggra attempted to heal her. Anduin
Wrynn, Tyrande and Velen arrived as well but they were too exhausted and Jaina's
wound was too serious. Go'el realized that Jaina would die his enemy and he could
think of nothing worse than that. Aggra comforted him with an embrace and all had
given up save Anduin who refused to stop trying to heal Jaina. Chi-Ji, who was now
hovering above them, responded saying "And so, the student remembers the lessons of
my temple" as a wave of calmness, contentment and healing washed over them. Go'el
looked down to see Jaina's wounds had healed and Jaina opened her eyes. She reached
out a hand and Go'el took it. Jaina squeezed Go'el's hand and let go.
Go'el, confused, asked why the August Celestials were not more distressed at
Garrosh's escape, as it was their duty to pronounce sentence. When asked by Taran
Zhu what verdict they would have rendered they stated that Garrosh would live so he
could continue to learn. They also said that Garrosh was not the only one on trial
and Go'el realized that everyone there had been, and he accepted it completely. The
Celestials also stated that they had all been judged and sentenced and that they
now had to go back out into the world and do what they must. Eventually, all heads
turned to Go'el, even though he was not in a position of leadership among them
anymore. Humbly, Go'el spoke for all of them, stating that they would find Garrosh.

The Iron Tide

Warlords of Draenor This section concerns content related to Warlords of Draenor.
When the Dark Portal turns red, Thrall helps to stop the Ironmarch invasion in
Blasted Lands and is located in the Shattered Landing along with the remnants of
the now-occupied Okril'lon Hold and the Horde soldiers. He sent adventurers to
eliminate the Iron Horde numbers and machinery and then joined with Okrilla and
began pushing the Iron Horde and their new allies - the Dreadmaul ogres. He
ultimately assists the adventurers in killing one of the leaders of this attack,
Gar'mak Bladetwist. He sent a report to the Warchief while he stayed there and
continue the war effort.

Thrall's Warlords of Draenor model.
Thrall later participated in the Assault on the Dark Portal and was one of the
first to enter the alternate Draenor of thirty-five[93] years ago. He assisted in
the battle with the Iron Horde in Tanaan Jungle. Once the Dark Portal was disabled,
he accompanied Khadgar and his group through the western camps, freeing the
prisoner during the process, Drek'Thar included. Once they escaped from the Umbral
Halls, Thrall blessed and equipped the rescued Frostwolves and draenei, and went to
fight against the Blackrock orcs and the rest of the Iron Horde under the
Worldbreaker. When the Portal was destroyed, he and the other attackers hijacked
Iron Horde boats to flee.
The Frostwolf warrior Ga'nar was able to take the ship the Horde boarded to
Frostfire Ridge, although his poor navigating skills resulted in the ship crashing.
Thankfully, it crashed on the shore of the intended destination. Thrall came in
contact with Durotan, who gave the Horde a piece of land in Frostwall, and the rest
of the Frostwolf clan there. Thrall had Monte Gazlowe summoned in order to build a
garrison for the Horde. While building, Thrall confronted the gronn Skog in a
nearby cave. Once the structures were built he and Drek'Thar went to Wor'gol to
find Durotan. While in the main village of the clan, Thrall noticed a Shamanstone
and felt that Draenor's elementals speak to him by a language he doesn't
understand. Durotan decided to put an end to the ogre's threat thus Thrall assisted
the clan in the taking of Bladespire Citadel. Before the main building, he summoned
a tornado to the attacking ogres only to have him weakened. When he caught his
breath he rejoined the attack inside of the citadel. While the commander went to
confront the ogre lord Gorr'thog, Thrall stayed and healed the injured Frostwolves.
Once the lord was killed, the citadel was completely taken by the orcs and he
stayed in the throne room for a time alongside Durotan. Some time later, he
returned to the Garrison and Draka asked him about his mate. He answered that she
stayed home with their newly born children. Draka was surprised by this and
maintained that family needs to be together in times of war. The ogres weren't the
only problem in Frostfire - the Thunderlord clan declared war to the Frostwolves.
Thrall accompanied his clan to Grom'gar, ancient home of the Thunderlords and from
there he continued to the Thunder Pass, where he assisted in the battle against the
approaching Iron Horde. During the battle he destroyed a cannon and Drek'Thar
noticed that he had to had a great teacher. Ultimately, he watched the sacrifice of
Ga'nar.
Thrall kills Garrosh.
The Legacy of Garrosh Hellscream.
He later journeys to Talador for the Battle of Shattrath but was only seen when
Khadgar, Yrel, Maraad and Durotan planned their counter-attack for the harbor. He
was next seen in Nagrand in Wor'var, this time accompanied by Aggra. Drek'Thar also
traveled to Nagrand in order to commune with the troubled furies and Thrall sent
adventurers to assist the shaman. Once the open threats of the Burning Blade clan
in Hallvalor, the ogres of Mar'gok's Overwatch, and the Warsong clan in Telaar were
dealt with, he asked the commander to secure Durotan's help in the upcoming and
final battle against Garrosh. Once the adventurer defeated the Warsong clan in Lok-
rath, Durotan promised to help the Horde in Grommashar. Thus the Horde attacked the
home of the Warsongs. When the adventurer and Durotan attacked Garrosh himself,
Thrall entered the fray and challenged Garrosh to mak'gora. Garrosh agreed and they
met near the Stones of Prophecy, the location of Garadar in the main timeline, and
started to fight. During the duel, Garrosh taunted and mocked him and even
destroyed his beads. The tide of the battle turned when Thrall summoned his
elemental forces that caught Garrosh in a stone fist and a lightning bolt ended
Garrosh's life. After the battle, he was seen near the battlefield with Khadgar,
Yrel and the others planning what to do next.
Back in Frostwall, he asked the commander to assist Draka and Drek'Thar in

Farseer's Rock with their elemental problem. The trio entered Magnarok and freed
the fury Exurotus. Thrall got there and witnessed the merging of the fury with
Drek'Thar which he commented as the start of Draenor's greatest shaman. Right after
that, he sent the commander to Warmaster Zog to send Horde forces into the area.
Thrall was ultimately seen in the Throne of the Elements as he watched the
elemental blessing passed on the Horde commander and their ring.
Legion

Thrall and his family in Dalaran.
Thrall and Vol'jin led the assault on the Broken Shore and cleared the shoreline.
They made their way to Sylvanas and Baine, who were holding off the demons. Along
with the Alliance, they chased Gul'dan and took care of Krosus. While the Horde
covered an overlooking ridge, the Alliance reached the Tomb of Sargeras and
confronted Gul'dan.
After the failed battle, Thrall reunited with Aggra and his son Durak in Dalaran.
Thrall asked shaman adventurers to meet at the Maelstrom in an attempt to gather
the remaining Earthen Ring members who survived the battle. Thrall and Farseer
Nobundo believed that they needed powerful artifacts in order to overcome the
Legion threat. Unfortunately, the Legion led by the Fel Lord Geth'xun found them
before they could form plans. The Earthen Ring were able to repel the demons'
assault, but Thrall lost the Doomhammer during the fight, which fell into Deepholm
with Geth'xun. Thrall, Stormcaller Mylra and the shaman adventurer immediately went
after it.
At the Temple of Earth, Thrall interrogated the other shamans of the Earthen Ring
present, while Mylra went to Stonehearth to see if the earthen had seen anything.
The adventurer went to Therazane's Throne to seek out the Stonemother. Thrall
warned the adventurer not to anger her as she was easily tempered with, then told
Mylra to meet with the adventurer and him at the Throne when they found answers.
Their endeavor was not successful, but the Stonemother did know where the hammer
had fallen: the Crumbling Depths.
There, they found Geth'xun, who had survived the fall as well. Though Thrall was
severely injured, Mylra managed to distract Geth'xun while the adventurer picked up
the Doomhammer, and then used it to defeat the demon. Thrall did not take the
Doomhammer back, however. Since his battle with Garrosh, he felt as if it was a
dead weight in his hands, he believed that the elements were silent to him. In
reality, it was his guilt and internal struggle that were the reason for this.[94]
He gave the Doomhammer to the adventurer and told them that they now wielded powers
even he never tapped into. Thrall then asked the adventurer to bring the Earthen
Ring together against the Legion, before going his own way.[95]
When a Horde player reaches Prestige Rank 2, Thrall can be found in the Undercity
alongside other notable leaders of the Horde. During H [10-45] A Royal Audience, he
is present at the ceremony hosted by Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner that
congratulates the character for their battles against the Alliance, following their
receiving of the [High Warlord's Medal of Valor] from the Warchief, as well as an
artifact appearance.
