WARCRAFT IV -- CHAPTER 2 - United under One Banner (Horde Campaign)

Into the Mouth of Hell

The armies of the Horde head due north, and venture on the barren plains of the Hellfire Peninsula. Three days later, the forces of the Horde construct a new base camp upon a nearby vacant goldmine on the Hellfire Peninsula. During this time, Thrall sent Rexxar, Rokhan, and Drek'Thar in a special mission. The three of them were sent to scout the areas on the northwest of Hellfire Peninsula that leads to the small swampy region of Zangarmarsh, one of the few tranquil sites on Outland and the former stronghold of the naga forces of Illidan Stormrage. Back on the central plains of the Hellfire Peninsula; Thrall, Dranosh, and Cairne fortify the defenses of their new base camp. All of a sudden, two scouting raiders returns to the encampment, and informs them of a very important information.

Thrall: "Strengthen up our defenses! This base camp will be our primary settlement in these lands."

Dranosh: "Warchief, once we complete this base, we can continue our search for our lost brethren."

Thrall: "Yes, I once heard from the veteran Alliance warriors that spent many years on these lands that our surviving uncorrupted people are residing on a region called the Mountains of Flame. We are yet to even find that place, and more importantly, fight our way through the Legion to reach it. There are more demonic forces out there waiting for us, and we shall defeat them all as promised!"

Dranosh: "It shall be glorious! I have been clamoring to slay those foul demons by my own blade!"

Cairne: "Our scouting party has arrived, young warchief. They seem to bring us important news."

Raider: "Warchief! There is something that you must know. We found a large encampment located on the east of this region. The base is largely defended by the demons and by our own former kin. We also saw some prison cages within their base, and we discovered several captive orcs and ogres inside of those cages. The captive orcs are not fel orcs, Warchief. They appear the same as we do."

Dranosh: "Orc and ogre captives?! No! Warchief, those prisoners there must be our lost people on these lands! The demons must have went onto the Mountains of Flame before we even came here!"

Thrall: "Yes, there is no doubt that could have happened! Damn it! The Legion have already found our lost people, and now, they have taken them as prisoners! Come, my warriors! We have no time to waste! We shall destroy that demonic base camp, and save all those imprisoned orcs and ogres!"

Within their new camp; Thrall, Dranosh, and Cairne muster a full army that consist of grunts, troll berserkers, raiders, taurens, shamans, witch doctors, spirit walkers, demolishers and wyvern riders. The forces of the Horde prepare themselves for they know that the demons and fel orcs within the region are already aware of their presence on Outland. Thrall, Dranosh and Cairne lead their forces to move against the base of the demons and fel orcs located on the east of the region. Moving along the barren red lands, the forces of the Horde encountered some scattered groups of renegade hostile demons upon various areas of the region. Heading for the eastern direction, the forces of the Horde eventually reach the large fortified base camp of the demons and fel orcs within Hellfire Peninsula. The camp is being heavily defended by fel orc grunts, fel orc raiders, fel orc warlocks, bloodfiends, voidwalkers, hellhounds, eredar diabolists, and flying daemons. The demonic and fel orcish troops are led by a fel orc blademaster and force commander from the Shattered Hand Clan named Gorax.

Thrall: "These orcs here appear exactly the same as what have happened to Grom and the Warsong Clan before, but the difference is that these orcs cannot be saved. They are all permanently cursed."
