Lore
The tauren of Freewind Post fought back against local centaur and the Grimtotem tribe, with help from the Horde. The Grimtotem hold Darkcloud Pinnacle to the northwest of the post, and they were suspected of kidnapping and murdering Freewind tauren.
In the Mirage Racetrack, gnomes and goblins raced their rocket cars against each other.
