Narrator

 * Narrator: The blinking button at the top of the screen indicates that your quest journal has been updated. To find out more about your objectives, CLICK on the QUESTS button.
 * Narrator: First, select Thrall. To do this, LEFT-CLICK on Thrall in the main window.
 * Narrator: Excellent. You seem eager to be on your way.
 * Narrator: However, you must first learn how to give orders to Thrall.
 * Narrator: Try ordering Thrall to move down the path towards the nearby banner. To do this, CLICK the MOVE button in the bottom-right corner of your screen, and then CLICK on the banner.
 * Narrator: Skillfully done. However, the orc encampment is still far off. In order to reach the next banner, scroll the screen to the north by moving your mouse to the top edge of the screen.
 * Narrator: Very good. The path to the next banner leads through a black area. This black area represents terrain that has not been discovered yet.
 * Narrator: Notice how the black area shrinks as Thrall moves through it. This reflects areas you have explored.
 * Narrator: Select Thrall and order him to move to the banner in the middle of the encampment.
 * Narrator: In order to have Thrall and his troops move together, you must first select all of them.
 * Narrator: Now that your troops are all selected, order them to move to the next banner.
 * Narrator: To order Thrall's forces to defeat this foul creature, select all of your troops, CLICK on the ATTACK button and then CLICK on the gnoll.
 * Narrator: Order your troops to perform an aggressive attack move into the enemy encampment. To do this, select all of your troops, CLICK the ATTACK button, and then LEFT-CLICK on the ground in the middle of the gnoll camp.
 * Narrator: Good job. Notice that Thrall gained a level from the experience that he earned in combat. Only heroes can acquire experience, allowing them to become incredibly powerful over time.
 * Narrator: Heroes gain a hero point whenever they advance in level. These points can be used to acquire new abilities or to improve previously learned ones.
 * Narrator: To spend Thrall's hero point, select him and CLICK on the HERO ABILITIES button in the bottom-right corner of your screen.

 * Narrator: To spend Thrall's hero point and learn chain lightning, CLICK on the CHAIN LIGHTNING button in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
 * Narrator: The murlocs would make excellent targets for your new chain lightning spell. To have Thrall use his new ability, CLICK on the CHAIN LIGHTNING button, and then LEFT-CLICK on one of the murlocs.
 * Narrator: Some monsters drop treasure when they are defeated. Treasure chests hold powerful magic items that can only be picked up by heroes, such as Thrall.
 * Narrator: This particular treasure chest contained a useful potion of mana. Notice that the potion now occupies one of Thrall's inventory slots near the bottom middle of your screen.
 * Narrator: Potions of mana can be used to replenish a hero's mana, the magic energies that allow the casting of spells, such as chain lightning.
 * Narrator: Thrall is currently low on mana. Use the potion of mana to refresh Thrall and provide him with sufficient mana to cast additional spells.
 * Narrator: Order Thrall's forces to explore up the river, following the banners.
 * Narrator: The wolf howls signify that night has begun.
 * Narrator: Excellent. Thrall has found a magic ring. Rings are very useful because they provide a constant, passive benefit as long as they are carried.
 * Narrator: Very good. That treasure chest held a magic tome that can be used to give Thrall a permanent benefit.

Battle
Thrall awakens after his strange vision/nightmare and gets out of his tent, where he finds a mysterious raven which tells him to follow it so that it can reveal what Thrall's future holds. Thrall amazed by this scene decides to play along and follow the creature. Thrall sets out to find the raven, but first gathers three of his grunts from the encampment due north of his tent. While following the mysterious raven, Thrall and his grunts find a gnoll encampment, which is in the middle of their path, so they destroy the encampment and continue following the raven's path. While crossing a river, they encounter a group of murlocs who are settling in the river and later on also find a sleeping ogre, both of which they slaughter. While exploring the vicinity of the path which the raven takes, Thrall and his comrades encounter a group of golems, which they kill and steal the treasure they were guarding, and a group of forest trolls, which while killing them, Thrall exclaims that he couldn't believe that these creatures used to be part of the Horde during the Second War. Thrall finally reach the location where the raven led him to. The raven transforms into the Prophet of Thrall's vision. The Prophet tells Thrall that the Burning Legion is going to return and that he has to travel west to Kalimdor and settle there to be safe. Thrall, not being sure about what to do, asked the spirits to guide him, in which they responded by telling him that he can trust the Prophet.
