Durotar

A dry, red-rocked homeland on Kalimdor's eastern coast where Thrall settled the Horde's orcs and trolls.

Overview

Durotar is a harsh coastal land with Orgrimmar rising on its northern side. The Horde holds it, but Razormane quillboar, scorpids and wild beasts roam its roads, and the Burning Blade keeps a coven in the Valley of Trials.

Lore

Quillboar of the Razormane tribe held this country long before the orcs came. After the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Thrall led his people here and named the land for his murdered father, Durotan.

The Darkspear trolls fled the Echo Isles after a betrayal by one of their own, and they founded the shore village of Sen'jin. Orgrimmar, the new capital, grew to become the heart of the land.
