Lore
After the Second War, Durnholde Keep served as the command center of the orc internment camps, ruled at first by Lieutenant General Aedelas Blackmoore. Blackmoore took in an orphaned orc infant, renamed him Thrall, and forced him to fight in the arena to advance his own standing.
Taretha Foxton helped Thrall slip out of his cell. He later led free orcs against the camps, killed Blackmoore in single combat and leveled the keep. In the Third War, orcs secretly took ships from Southshore to leave the continent.
Tarren Mill is now the largest settlement in the region and is held by the Forsaken.
