Hello everyone!
While working hard on gaining new allies in Zandalar, we’re also working on the war
campaign against the Alliance.
This is war and we accomplish nothing by simply adding the Zandalari to our ranks.
We eventually need to crush the Alliance.
Our efforts are lead by Nathanos Blightcaller, champion of the banshee queen.
In life he was the first and only human ranger lord amongst the farstriders, despite voices
amongst the high elves not being too happy with the human in their midst.
Sylvanas did very much enjoy his company though and when she regained her free will after
being turned by the Lich King, sought him out as one of the first to break the control.
Fiercely loyal to his banshee queen, Nathanos will do everything in his power to please
his dark lady.
To assist him with that we have Garona Halforcen on board of the banshee’s wail.
“we have assembled an elite group to execute the dark ladies orders.
Overseeing this group is Garona Halforcen.
She will orchestrate these missions with your help.”
“Champion, follow me.”
This half orc, half draenei was once upon a time enensorcelled by Gul’dan and his
shadow council.
Her skills were directed at assassinating their enemies and when the Horde ventured
through the dark portal, Garona traveled with them.
Because of Gul’dan’s endless cruelty, she felt no love for the horde and actually
befriended people like Khadgar and the king of Stormwind at the time, Llane Wrynn.
Those magical spells that Gul’dan had placed upon her eventually forced her to murder the
king and flee the city, but later when she explained to Khadgar what had happened, he
believed her.
He event went as far as too remove those chains on her mind freeing her to go out into the
world and claim her vengeance upon the shadow council.
In Legion we saw her as a member of the uncrowned, the rogue order hall, and now we find her
amongst the elite forces of the Horde.
It seems like she has been conscripted into service once again, to carry out yet another
master’s schemes.
She will do what she must – say what she must – to live for another day.
But sooner or later this war will end and we must be ready for what follows.
Garona escorts us to our very first follower to be send out on missions of vital importance,
Arcanist Valtrois, a recent addition to the ranks as the nightborne joined our horde as
a new allied race.
Her first mission is to take care of the SI:7 infiltrator and stop the Alliance from interupting
our communications with the home front.
This opens up the possibility to ask for reinforcements and recruit various horde forces from Garona
to accompany our commanders on their missions.
These missions tell a story all on their own with achievements attached to them.
It’s all fine and dandy to recruit new allies in a brand new zone, but we can’t forget
about the warfront back home.
After Lordaeron takes place in that area, eastern kingdoms, with some of the highlights
involving paladins lead by Raleigh the Devout attempting to purify the ruins of Southshore.
Darius Crowley marching a Gilnean army towards Hillsbrad.
Helping Horde refugees escape Tirisfal by creating a distraction for the Bloodfang Pack
and unleashing the newly developed bio-weapon on the 7th legion forces surrounding shadowfang
keep.
Kalimdor on Fire plays out around Teldrassil but also lets us know that Gallywix’s massive
canon has not been forgotten and since the Alliance forces sabotaged it, we’ll have
to repair it.
Besides fighting over dominance of the land we also send out scouts to investigate why
the Alliance has a renewed interest in blackfathom deeps.
The’re still evacuating people from Teldrassil overseen by Dentaria Silerglade which we slay
to sow chaos in their ranks while apperantly there are also night elves streaming out of
darnassus which pose a threat to our troll allies at Shatterspear Vale.
I imagine some were able to escape the flames of Teldrassil and are still able to take up
arms.
The Barrens, Kalimdor again has us stop the alliance from rebuilding Tiragarde Keep and
scour the ruins from Horde lands while also checking out if theramore can still be used
as a base despite the lingering effects of its destruction.
The magic of the wailing caverns might be usefull for the cause, Camp Taurajo has lain
in ruins long enough.
Our warriors are send against the alliance soldiers who siege the great gate and their
looters are punished.
Meanwhile the Sweemwheedle cartel will not openly declare for the Horde, yet still provide
a vital stream of supples.
We must prevent the Alliance from discovering these smuggling operations while also keeping
an eye on the vengeful Night elves that are planning a campaign against Orgrimmar.
Those are some of the highlights on what we send our followers out to do and if you want
to know every single missions, articles are linked down below.
Back in Zandalar on the Banshee’s Wail, we need to establish outposts in Alliance
territory, Tirigarde Sound, Stormsong Valley and Drustvar.
Our enemy spreads its influence throughout kul tiras, recruiting new allies to fight
against the Horde and the banshee queen herself shows up to check if everything’s in order.
“My queen.”
“Is everything in order?”
“Yes, my lady.
The banshee’s wail is prepared to depart at a moments notice.”
“Good.
Work with our champion to determine where we will secure a foothold first.”
“As you command, warchief.”
“See it done and dispatch reports of your progress to me.
“We will not fail you.
Safe journey, my lady.”
Dread-Admiral Tattersail who also joined us into Stormheim during Legion, she’s the
one who sails the banshee’s wail, one of the dark lady’s finest ships.
She may not be much to look at, but she’s tough and scrappy.
Her captain isn’t half bad, either.
Let us set sail to Tirigarde first where we join Shadow Hunter Ty’jin and get friendly
with the local pirates.
Ty’jin has been with the Horde for a very long time, not afraid to travel as he joined
them in Outland and Alternate Draenor and here we see him making contact with a pirate
crew that’s not too happy with the way things are going.
There was a time when the pirate life was a free one, but now the crews are selling
their souls to sale under the flag of Lady Ashvane, something that Owings of the Fogsail
Freebooters is not down with.
Our goal is simple.
We’re going to help her mutiny succeed and she’ll allow us to stay here as a foothold
for our attack.
Step one of causing a muttiny, that’s to make its leadership seem incompetent.
She hates to say it, but we’re going to have muck up the booze and spike the kegs
of grog.
The way we go about it is not exactly what she had in mind, but you know what.
Sure...our way works too.
She’s not the only one that’s not too happy with selling out so perhaps we can find
some other authority figures among the freebooters who’d be down with joining us.
She forged some letters in the captain’s hand which we deliver.
Boatswain Taryn could recognize Owing’s handwriting anywhere and foolishly tries to
kill us.
Navigator Swink would never insult his Alliance roots by siding with the Horde, but Quartermaster
Killian...is smarter...
He really like his job and wants to keep doing it on his own terms.
A little mutany might just be the trick to make that happen.
After stealing some cannonballs and modifying some cannons for us to use, we blow up some
of the smaller rowboats in the harbor and then it’s on to the main event.
Captain Rheniks sits in his cave readying himself to sell their souls to ashvanes.
In battle we can see that Ashvane already has her claws deep in him as he guzzles down
Azerite potion which makes him bulk up and he has azerite infused grenades which he’s
not afraid to toss around.
His death passes on the captains title to Owings, has a certain ring to it doesn’t
it and she is a woman of her word.
The horde is welcome in her port.
Cutscene: Look at this little harbor, this is a nice harbor.
Yes slay that final kul tiran.
This is horde land now.
Even goblins get a few shots in, yeah sure toss that guy into the water.
Behold my glorious nipple armor.
Look at this place.
We got the pirates, a location close to the kul tiran capital.
I think we should be pretty proud of this one, Ty’jin tells us and he’s so impressed
with our skill in parleying that he decides to become our next follower.
Back on the ship, Nathanos is quite happy with our new location and the pirates are
another boon.
If we ever need some bodies to fall on swords for us...they will do.
Before we set out to secure our second base, we have Eitrigg who knows that this war will
not be won with strength and might alone.
This veteran of the Horde has seen its fair share of warfare, starting all the way back
to the founding of the Horde.
An orc of pride and honor that had to deal with the corruption within the first horde
and later gladly joined thralls horde as he reformed it.
Eitrigg would play more of an advisory rol to the warchief within the Horde, but his
skills with a weapon are still out of this world.
He has fought many wars.
Watched heroes and cowards alike bleed out on the field of battle.
But this war feels...different.
It tests more than our mettle and skill.
It tests our hearts.
Our faith in one another.
Whatever comes, the horde will endure.
It must and to help with making that so, he offers upgrades for our adventures.
Our next adventure sends us to meet up with another legendary hero of the Horde, we’re
send to Stormsong Valley where they’ve established and fortfied an outpost called Warfang hold.
YEt the kul tiran forces are not giving up their lands so easily.
They need reinforcements and it’s clear why the moment we arrive.
Mighty tentacles assault our ships and the enemy has pushed our men into the shore.
They’re trapped between certain deaths so High Warlord Cromush, an orc very loyal to
Sylvanas, has us jump into a cannon and start laying dome some covering fire.
With the beach cleared our forces should have a bit more breathing room, some time to heal
the injured.
While moving inland looking for Rexxar, instead we find his companiong Huelo with a massive
harpoon sticking out of its side.
It’s a trap, a foolish one at that because there’s one thing that you don’t do when
it comes to Rexxar and that is messing with his companions.
Our champion jumps down and saves our hides, this Mok’nathal, half orc - half ogre also
joined the Horde from Draenor into Azeroth but got quickly sick of the corruption and
betrayels that plagued the Horde and decided to live out his days in the wild with the
animals that he could trust.
Fate seemed to have different plans for him in mind as a chance encounter lead him to
the new Warchief Thrall.
He would help the son of Durotan with the founding of Durotar, eventually going as far
as leading the Horde forces into Theramore and taking care of Jaina’s father, Admiral
Daelin Proudmoore, who could not see that this Horde was a different one.
His heroic deeds had Thrall invite him to stick around, but Rexxar knew that his place
was in the wilds but would always be a part of te Horde and be there when he was needed.
Sadly, despite the turmoil that the Horde has faced over the years, Rexxar didn’t
really show up to help out.
Instead we had him join the unseen path, the hunter order hall in Legion and now, under
warchief Sylvanas Windrunner, he has shown up to make good on his promise.
We can ask him what brings him to this conflict?
I had found kinship with other hunters in the unseen path.
We fought to defend a broken land.
But now the horn of war is sounded once again.
When I heard she had returned...I had to answer the call.
She?
Who do you mean?
Jaina Proudmoore.
She once made a choice to spare us from her father’s tyranny.
I respected that decision, and how difficult it was.
But she could not forgive what hellscream did to theramore.
She turned her hatred against all the horde.
She went too far.
Killed too many.
Her quest for vengeance must be ended.
You will fight Jaina Proudmoore?
Her, the kul tirans, the whole alliance if i must.
I love the horde.
I made a promise to thrall that i would defend it.
No matter who began this war, I will fight until it ends...or I do.
And this fight has us take on the forces that have taken over our outpost, with a strange
object they summoned the horrors that we saw coiled around our ships.
Lets make them pay by killing their captain Ara who’s part of the faceless and a whole
bunch of their forces, turn their magic against them and use it to put out the fires and save
a bunch of peons that they were unable to evacuate in time.
Quick and decisive work.
By sounding the warhorn we let our troops know its safe to come back in and retake control
of Warfang hold.
We shall purge these kul tiran scum from our lands!
Cutscene: Paraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam, ow no horn sound effect ey?
Small indi company, but come on in horde forces!
Through countless wars, Rexxar has learned that those who stand alone will fall.
Let us stand as one.
Together, we will face anything our foes send our way as Rexxar becomes our champion.
2 critical footholds established, one more to go.
It’s time to venture into Drustvar together with Eitrigg and Trade Prince Gallywix.
Eitrig wants us to focus on gathering intell on the alliance, but Gallywix can smell profit.
It’s all about the moola for this goblin, the one who discovered azerite first and now
has information on a massive seam of Azerite beneath the land of drustvar.
Azerite means profit and profit means winning this war against the Alliance which means
even more profit.
On the glorious, extremely loud and conspicuous trike we cruise around the lands of Drustvar,
a land in which you want to keep your hand down.
Curses, sacrifices and witches a plenty, apperantly Eitrigs weakness as he quickly turns into
a scooby doo figure at the mere mention of witches.
Perhaps that’s not so foolish as the deeper we go inland, the more grusome things happen
to Gallywix’ crew until we come across one of their corpse thats been mangled and wrapped
up in a tree.
Crimsonwood witches lead by Sister Redweather try to turn
us into their next sacrifices and I believe that during the fight they’re supposed to
attack Galywix which unfortenatly did not visually happen for me.
All the same, this little encounter smacks some sense into Galliwyx.
Perhaps it would be better to set up camp elsewhere, maybe in the mountains you know
like...not here, where the witches are.
On route we actually find that profit can still be made as even here Azerite is popping
up.
With the help of Hobart Grapplehammer, bonefied genuis amongst the goblins responsible for
inventions like Kaja’cola, town in a box, lab in a box and Gilgoblins...Yeah the watery
hostile goblins are because of him, but under advice of counsel, he won’t mention them...had
nothing to do with them!
His latest invention, the wolfercycle, quickly gets him to krazzlefrazz outpost, where pretty
much the base is already done.
All we need to do is unwrap it by enlarging the supplyhut, which also accidentaly enlraged
a rat.
Set off a pile of explosives to bring the fishing hut to life and reach into a wormhole
to pull out our inn, but not before we accidantly grab a interdimensional abomination.
Ahwell that’s goblin engineering for ya.
Our base is set, time to call the rocket troops!
Cutscene: Rocket crashes down, ROCKET TROOPS TO FILL THE BASE
Now that everytyhing’s all set up around here, Grapplehammer could do with a new job
so he decides to become our follower.
And with that we’ve secured our 3 bases in enemy territory but our war campaign is
far from over.
We must gain knowledge, power and experience until we can tackle the next part so lets
continue the story tomorrow.
For now thank you very much for watching everyone!

guys...see ya!
Stay a while and listen: “The zeal with which you attack the Alliance
seems borne of more than deference to your queen, Blightcaller.”
“I once fought for their cause.
The Alliance’s insufferable arrogance has increased tenfold since they turned their
backs on us.”
“Turned their backs?”
: When the Lich King’s hold over us was broken, Sylvnaas sought allies.
Instead of embracing their fallen kin of LOrdaeron, the humans spurned us.
Hunter us.
So I vowed to hunt them.”
“Ah vengeance fuels you.
I can appreciate that.”
“Vengeance.
Contempt.
Call it what you will.
When the last of his subjects has been slain and raised Forsaken, the boy-king will kneel
before the Dark Lady.
And at long last, there will be but one queen to rule them all.”
“Your strikes on alliance targets have been most impressive, Garona.
I admit, I wondered if your loyalties might be...divided.”
“Because I was once befriended by the young king’s grandfater?
I murdered him, if you recall.”
“I am familiar with the tale.
I also know that killing Llane Wrynn was not your choice.”
“No.
And you doubtless aware that I have worked with the Alliance when it served my purposes.
But I owe them nothing.
The Horde is my home.”
“Good.
The Alliance deserves no sympath.
No quarter.
Make them suffer, and the Dark Lady will reward you.”
“I caused the downfall of one king.
Perhaps it is time I ended the reign of another.”
