Notable Humans

 * Anduin Lothar Sir Anduin Lothar, the Lion of Azeroth, is the Supreme Commander of the Alliance of Lordaeron and the last descendent of the Arathi bloodline. A close childhood friend of Llane Wrynn and Medivh, Lothar joined the  King's Guard at an early age and quickly rose through its ranks to become Knight of the Realm. A veteran of numerous battles against the Gnolls, the Gurubashi Trolls and more recently, the Felborn, Anduin Lothar has survived through immesurable loss and death. However, he has never lost fate in the Holy Light and his loyalty to his king and kingdom has never wavered. With the invasion of the Burning Legion, Lothar was responsible for the defense of Stormwind and for the exile of its survivors to the northern kingdom of Lordaeron. His reputation as a wise and capable military leader, perhaps the best of his time, granted him the respect of king Terenas which appointed him as the commander of the forces of the Alliance. With the fate of Azeroth on his shoulders, the old Knight will give everything to protect the Alliance and his King.
 * Medivh
 * Terenas Menethil II Terenas is the heir of a long dynasty that has ruled over Lordaeron for generations, the House Menethil. Raised as a knight and taught the ways of chivalry of old, Terenas grew up to be a wise and just ruler, greatly loved by his people and his family. Even though he lacked the skills and strength to lead his forces into the battlefield, his talent as a statesman proved to be fundamental in maintaining peace among the human kingdoms and the other races. Notably, he became a close friend of Thoras Trollbane and Barathen Wrynn. With the fall of Stormwind, Terenas accepted the refugees coming from the kingdom of Stormwind led by Llane Wrynn. Hearing about the threat presented by the Burning Legion and the ogre Cho'gall, he invited the leaders of the Human Kingdoms, the Dwarven Thanes, the High Tinker of Gnomeregan and the King of the High Elves to forge the Alliance of Lordaeron. Terenas Menethil nominated Sir Anduin Lothar, the Lion of Azeroth, Supreme Commander of the Alliance.  During a time of uncertainty and chaos, he provides stability, hope and guidance to his people.
 * Arthas Menethil
 * Llane Wrynn I
 * Daelin Proudmoore Daelin Proudmoore is the Grand Admiral of the Alliance of Lordaeron and the King of Kul Tiras.
 * Jaina Proudmoore
 * Thoras Trollbane Thoras Trollbane is the king of Stromgarde and one of the founding members of the Alliance. One of the most skilled warriors of all time, Thoras has always prouded himself in his ability to personally lead his forces into the battlefield unlike most other human rulers. It is said that his physical strength, his sharp mind and his fighting abilities were only matched by Anduin Lothar himself during his youth. During the creation of the Alliance of Lordaeron, Trollbane answered the call to join the other kingdoms of Azeroth and defend it from the invading Burning Legion. He's the wielder of the famous Trol'kalar, the heirloom of the Trollbane dynasty crafted for Ignaeus Trollbane himself.
 * Antonidas
 * Genn Greymane Genn Greymane was once the King of Gilneas until he was deposed and exiled in the aftermath the Northgate Rebellion. Son of Archibald Greymane, Genn was taught from an early age to not rely on others and not to never show weakness. When he received an invitation to join the other Human Kingdoms in the defense of Lordaeron against the invading Burning Legion, he refused declaring that the Gilnean Army was more than capable to deal with any invaders. Darius Crowley, a disillusioned noble, organized and led a popular uprising against Greymane which ended up deposing him and exiling him and his loyalists to Alterac. With the newly crowned Darius Crowley now ruling his former kingdom, Genn has promised to one day return and lead his people once again.
 * Darius Crowley Darius Crowley was the leader of the Northgate Rebellion which ended up with him being crowned the new King of Gilneas. Once a small nobleman in the north of the kingdom, Crowley's humanistic and charismatic nature made him deeply popular with the people he ruled over. After being appointed an advisor by Genn Greymane, he was present in Lordaeron City during  the creation of the Alliance. Deeply resentful of his king's decision to abandon humanity to its fate, Darius Crowley organized and led a rebellion that ended the Greymane's dynasty rule over Gilneas. After the civil war was over and Genn was exiled to the neighbouring kingdom of Alterac, the Gilnean people crowned Darius as the new King. Crowley promised to fully cooperate with the Human Kingdoms and stop the Burning Legion and the Horde from harming any more innocents.
 * Aiden Perenolde Aiden Perenolde is the King of Alterac and the only human ruler to refuse to join the Alliance of Lordaeron. Peronolde is a deeply paranoid man and always refused to pursue diplomatic ties with other human kingdoms fearing a betrayal. Instead, he opted for complete isolation of his people in the snowy mountains of Alterac. When king Terenas invited him to join the Alliance, he refused and closed his borders to foreigners. Aidan Perenolde is also deeply unpopular with his people relying on his criminal backers, the Syndicate, for political power and legitimacy. Time will tell if his neutrality will be his salvation or his doom.
 * Alonsus Faol
 * Uther Lightbringer
 * Saidan Dathrohan Saidan Dathrohan is one of the first Knights of the Silver Hand and the founder and Grand Crusader of the Scarlet Crusade. Unlike the other Paladins, Saidan Dathrohan didn't pursue the path of the light out of selfless interest to protect the weak but instead a deep resentment and desire to avenge those who perished because of the war brought by Cho'gall. Instead of using the Holy Light to heal and protect, Saidan and his followers, the Scarlet Crusade, believe in punishing those who oppose the Holy Light, be them evil creatures of hatred or simply those who question the beliefs of the Church.  Dathrohan is often looked down upon by Uther Lightbringer and the other Argent Crusaders because of his often questionable methods.

Notable Orcs

 * Durotan  Son of Garad and Geyah, Durotan always cared about three things the most: family, tradition and honor. With these values at heart, he quickly urged the other orcish leaders to unite against the undeniable threat that the Burning Legion presented to their world and to their people. Chosen by the spirits as the Warchief of this newly formed alliance, Durotan led the war efforts honorly and diplomatically, managing to put the differences of the clans aside, and governing fairly. During his reign, he was reponsible for many victories against his enemies.To end the demonic invasion, he gave his own life to slay the pit lord Mannoroth and, for this reason, he became a legend among orcs.
 * Orgrim Doomhammer After the death of his good friend Durotan, Orgrim Doomhammer was entrusted by the former Warchief with the leadership of the Horde in its most critical moment. Once Blackhand's second-in-command, Orgrim stepped up to be a close advisor of Durotan during his short reign and proving himself to be a powerful warrior and an inspiring force on the battlefield. After the death of the last Warchief, Orgrim stepped up to rule the Horde promising to lead with honor and strength. Even though the young Warchief  managed to defeat most of the Burning Legion's forces in Draenor at the cost of heavy losses, Orgrim faced many challenges that posed a threat to the survival of the Horde. Despite having the loyalty of the Blackrock, being one of them, and the Frostwolves, having been appointed by Durotan, many of the clans were distrustful and skeptical about him. Some, like the Bleeding Hollow under Kilrogg Deadeye, openly challenged his rule and doubted his legitimacy. The support among his people was not the greatest problem, however: Draenor had suffered greatly during the demonic invasion and the land was full of corruption and sickness, possibly taking generations to fully heal. Knowing very well that the survival of his people was uncertain, Orgrim decided that they would rebuild the Dark Portal built by Cho'gall's forces and that they would bring him to justice. The unknown world of Azeroth awaited them and the future of the Horde lied here. A new beginning.
 * Varok Saurfang Varok Saurfang is a fearsome warrior of the Blackrock clan that rose to become one of the most trusted lieutenants of Blackhand. During the invasion of Draenor, he loyally fought alongside Orgrim and Durotan against the Burning Legion and, as the war progressed, became close friends with Doomhammer. When Orgrim became Warchief, Saurfang was appointed second-in-command of the Horde and High Overlord of the Kor'Kron, the elite fighting force of the Warchief.
 * Ner'zhul  Ner'zhul is the Elder Shaman of the Horde and the Warlord of the Shadowmoon clan. A deeply respected figure among all orcs, Ner'zhul is known for his wisdom and his link to the elemental forces of Draenor. During the formation of the Horde, he supported Durotan which was decisive in bringing the clans together. He served as Durotan's adviser during the invasion of the Burning Legion and, later on, as Orgrim Doomhammer's. Tasked with overseeing the healing of Draenor, Ner'zhul has recruited shamans from the many clans to create the Earthbinders, an organization dedicated to the practice of shamanism.
 * Blackhand
 * Grommash Hellscream
 * Kash'drakor Hero of the Blood River war and Champion of the Frostwolves, Kash'drakor was chosen by his clan to lead them after the heroic death of Durotan, the savior of Draenor. With more experience in the battlefield rather than leardership, he will now have to prove himself to his people and to the other leaders of the Horde. Only time will tell which kind of leader he will reveal himself to be. He's the wielder of the famous axe Serathil.
 * Drek'Thar Blind from birth, Drek'Thar was once the apprentice of the Frostwolf Farseer, Mother Kashur, and after her death, he grew to become the clan's shaman. During times of hunger and war, he provided his clan with hope and healing, sometimes even calling upon the Furies to protect his own people. A close friend of Durotan, he was responsible for the defense of Frostfire Ridge during the invasion of the Burning Legion. After the death of Durotan, he assumed the responsibility of teaching Kash'drakor how to rule and how to uphold the traditions of the Frostwolves. He was invited to the small council of Orgrim Doomhammer and assumed a prominent role in the Earthbinders of Ner'zhul.
 * Kilrogg Deadeye When he sacrificially removed his eye, Kilrogg saw his last moments and, like all Bleeding Hollow chieftains before him, he is seeking to pursue that glorious death. A savage and, to many, a honorless orc, Kilrogg and his clan were critical during the invasion of the Burning Legion even though they were often at odds with Durotan since they believed accepting the Arakkoa, their former enemies, into the Horde was weakness. The rift provoked by this difference has grown to pose a significant threat to the stability of the Horde and has led him to openly challenge Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer's rule. Only the future will tell what Kilrogg saw in his vision and what awaits him.
 * Kargath Bladefist Kargath Bladefist was a slave raised by the ogres of the Gorian Empire who earned great fame because of his accomplishments as a gladiator in the Highmaul arena. Despite being promised that he would one day earn his freedom, Kargath grew to believe that he would never be liberated. In an act of desperation and madness, he cut his own arm which inspired the other slaves to do the same, starting a rebellion. Those who followed Kargath would later be known as the Shattered Hand and under his cruel leadership, they would conquer themselves a home in the Spires of Arak. During the creation of the Horde, Kargath agreed to join the other clans simply because he thirsted for war and death.
 * Azuka Bladefury Daughter of the infamous Dharl of the Thrice-Bloodied Blade, Azuka Bladefury is the warlord of the Burning Blade clan and one of the most skilled blademasters in Draenor. First female blademaster in generations, Azuka inherited the leadership of her clan after defeating all of her brothers in a Mak'gora. Together with Jubei'Thos, she was charged by Orgrim Doomhammer with the task to train a new generation of blademasters that can carry the ancient fighting tradition to the world of Azeroth. She is the owner of the legendary weapon Sanketsu which has been passed to the leaders of the Burning Blade for hundreds of years.
 * Teron'gor

Highmaul
Highmaul has been the seat of the Gorian Empire's might for centuries, since the destruction of the city of Goria, and it has served as the home of the many emperors who ruled the empire. A strongly defended city with massive stone walls around it and an imponent coliseum in its center, Highmaul is now one of the most important commercial and military centers of the Horde. Tormmok's forces occupy the city and the Legion now patrols the streets with a vigillant eye.

Military Strength
The Gorian Empire of old was an incredibly powerful empire that extended its influence to every corner of Draenor. With the aid of the military might of the Gorian Legion, they managed to subdue and defeat every threat the empire faced for centuries. However, faced with a coalition of united orcish clans and the Furies, the Gorian Empire eventually collapsed with their current holdings limited to Goria, western Nagrand and a few strongholds across Draenor. More recently, after Cho'gall's betrayal and the creation of the Felsworn, the Gorian Legion under Tormmok possesses little more than a few thousand able-bodied men.


 * Gorian Legionnaires Composing the main bulk of the Gorian Empire's strength, the Legionnaires are trained, highly skilled warriors that swore loyalty to Highmaul. A strictly hierarchized organization, they have achieved significant results duo to their great discipline and militant fervor to the cause. Even though a sizeable portion are veterans and ex-Royal Guardsmen, many were recently recruited in Goria. Military Strength around 3500.
 * Gorian Mages Despite being distrustful of magic, Tormmok recruited Rezlorg and some other powerful arcanists to join the rebellion. Knowledgeable and cunning, many of these Ogres are two-headed, a sign of natural magical affinity. Military Strength around 100.
 * Ogron The Ogron are massively built, strong creatures that serve the Gorian Empire and the Legion. Descended from gronn, and part of the Breaker lineage, the Ogron were mostly corrupted by Cho'gall into serving the Felsworn but some remained pure and remained loyal to Highmaul. Not very intelligent. Military Strength around 200.

Notable Ogres

 * Tormmok Raised in the slums of Highmaul, Tormmok's dedication and talent quickly drove him through the ranks of the Gorian Legion, ultimately becoming a High Centurion at the service of Imperator Mar'gok. His ambition, however, led him to be exiled to the barren wastes of Gorgrond where he was expected to die in a meaningless mission. He didn't though. Against all odds, Tormmok returned victorious from his campaign. Time and time again, he proved himself to be a powerful political foe to the ruling elites of Highmaul. Eventually, he was accused of treachery and thrown in a cell to rot. This didn't last: when Cho'gall took control of the city, Tormmok rallied all the other prisoners, most of which were veterans and experienced warriors, and escaped. He vowed to one day bring retribution against those who betrayed and corrupted his people, promising to return the Gorian Empire to its old greatness. Without many soldiers and even fewer allies, Tormmok decided to pledge allegiance to Doomhammer's Horde and support their campaign on the foreign world of Azeroth.
 * Thag Captain of the King's Guard and one of the most skillful fighters of Highmaul, Thag loyally stood besides Imperator Mar'gok and effectively served as a tool against those who wished to oppose him. Even though many times he disapproved of the Imperator's arrogant behaviors, his sense of honor and loyalty never faded. On the day of the death of his master at the hands of Cho'gall, Thag encountered Tormmok's rebellion but instead of suppressing the uprising, he and most of the King's Guard joined them. Since then, Thag has served as Tormmok's second-in-command and advisor.
 * Rezlorg One of the former students of Mar'gok, Rezlorg was one of the most experienced and powerful arcanists of Highmaul. Endowed with rare magic abilities, he was shocked with the sight of his emperor's death and was quick to join Tormmok's rebellion, proving himself to be an important tool in the training of a new generation of Gorian mages. Some rumours have circled among Highmaul's halls that he ambitions to be the next Imperator.

Notable Arakkoa

 * Terokk
 * Lithic Lithic was once a skilled huntress and a brilliant goldsmith but during the betrayal of her father, Terokk, she was thrown into Sethekk Hollow and afflicted by the same curse that condemned the rest of her people. Lithic has now dedicated much of her time in the workship of Anzu and the study of arcane and void magic, serving as an adviser to her father.

Shadowforge City
After their exodus from Ironforge and the destruction of Thaurissan, the Dark Iron dwarves found a home in the depths of the Blackrock Mountain, in the newly built Shadowforge. The fortress-city has at its center the Black Anvil and is surrounded by well-organized districts such as the Black Vault, the Hall of Crafting and the Manufactory. The Anvilrage patrols the tunnels that connect the districts of Shadowforge and cracks down on lawbreakers and traitors. The complex volcanic labyrinth that serves as the seat of power to Dagran Thaurissan is not all that bad though: the Grim Guzzler inn is one of the largest and most famous taberns in Khaz Modan and adventurers of the Horde can rest and drink safely.

Military Strength
The Dark Iron clan has inhabited southern Khaz Modan for the last 230 years, since the War of the Three Hammers, and their survival and expansion has relied on a well-trained, experienced and disciplined army, the Anvilrage. Even though they have seen some serious military defeats in the past, notably during Thaurissan's assault on Ironforge and Grim Batol, the Dark Irons will not rest until all of Khaz Modan is ruled by High Thane Dagran Thaurissan.


 * Anvilrage Named after General Anvilrage, the most successful military commander in Dark Iron history, the Anvilrage Legion is the army of the Dark Iron clan and one of the most impressive forces in the Eastern Kingdoms. With massive numbers and extraordinary discipline, the Anvilrage is mostly composed of experienced warriors, riflemen and engineers. Military Strength around 7000.
 * Dark Iron War Machines The Dark Iron army is backed by some of the most advanced war machines such as giant golems with massive physical strength and mole machines that quickly transport units across the battlefield. These technological wonders are undoubtedly a significant advantage against their enemies.

Notable Dark Irons

 * Dagran Thaurissan Dagran Thaurissan is the son of Thaurissan and Modgud and the rightful ruler of the Dark Iron clan. A charismatic leader and a powerful sorcerer, Dagran suffers with the legacy of his ancestors and the curse of his people: perpetual servitude to the firelord Ragnaros. Cynical and hopeless, Dagran once accepted his people's fate as nothing more than pawns to their elemental overlord until the marriage with the daughter of Magni Bronzebeard, Moira, brought him the faith and strength he needed to rebel. In the dark halls of Shadowforge, he and his most loyal supporters gather secretly to plan their liberation and their vengeance. However, Thaurissan's ambitions do not end there: once his people achieve independence once again, he plans to invade Khaz Modan and declare himself High Thane of all Dwarves.
 * Moira Thaurissan Moira is the daughter and heir of Magni Bronzebeard, the High Thane of the Bronzebeard and ruler of Ironforge, and the wife of Dagran Thaurissan, the High Thane of the Dark Iron. Moira was kidnapped when she was young by Dark Iron scouts and brought to Shadowforge where she was initially going to be emprisoned by Dagran Thaurissan himself and used as a bargain tool. However, her strong will and her lack of fear, made Dagran fall in love with her. When they talked about the future, Moira was also charmed by his charisma and by the fact that, unlike her father, he took her seriously despite being a woman, and would too fall in love with him. Their marriage was celebrated by the people of Shadowforge but the Bronzebeard disapproved, thinking she was somehow corrupted in her prison. Magni sent many teams to try and get them back but the princess refused to come back, embracing her new home with the Dark Iron.
 * Angerforge General Angerforge is the leader of the Anvilrage, the Dark Iron army, and a descendent of a long line of prestigious nobles within the Dark Iron clan. An experienced commander who studied Dwarven military theory and history, Angerforge is extremely loyal to emperor Dagran Thaurissan and will do anything he is commanded and destroy any dissent.
 * Franclorn Forgewright Franclorn Forgewright was the chief architect of the Dark Iron clan and a notably influential figure in Shadowforge. One of the most brilliant intellectuals of his time, Franclorn was responsible for the construction of the well-known Stonewrought Dam and much of the Blackrock Depths. During the invocation of the firelord Ragnaros, Franclorn was disgusted by the sins of his people and thus tried to take his own life. This, however, was prevented by the Dark Iron soliders who captured him and imprisoned him for years to come. Recently, he was recruited by Dagran Thaurissan to join the secret rebellion that seeks to free his people from the elemental god's rage.

Knights of the Silver Hand
The Knights of the Silver Hand are a Holy Order of Paladins created in the aftermath of the destruction of Stormwind and the fall of the kingdom of Azeroth. Former knights and priests of the various kingdoms of the Alliance, they were recruited and trained by Archbishop Alonsus Faol with three goals: protect the innocents, heal the damned and eradicate evil. These men and women would serve as the sword and shield of the Holy Light and the first of them was Uther Lightbringer, the leader of the Silver Hand. Followed by him, Saidan Dathrohan, Tirion Fordring, Turalyon and many others followed. In a world where darkness and death reign, these Holy Knights will arise to protect and serve the Alliance.

Those who wish to master the ways of the Silver Hand can find recruiters in the city of Stratholme, in the north of Lordaeron. However, as the adventurers learn more about the organization, they must choose to align with the Argent Crusade or the Scarlet Crusade.


 * Argent Crusader The Argent Crusade is a collective of righteous, tolerant Paladins that have sworn their lives to the defense of the Holy Church and to the devotion of the Light.

Wars
Once the great Amani Empire ruled all of Quel'Thalas and most of Lordaeron but with the arrival of the High Elves and the estabilishment of the their kingdom. With the passing of the years, infighting and military defeats led to the Amani to become nothing more than a small fragment of what they once were. Now, under the leadership of Zul'jin and with the support of the Horde, the time has come for the Forest Trolls to reclaim what's rightfully theirs... but it won't be a easy fight. The quel'dorei are the greatest empire of Azeroth and they count with the support of the Human Kingdoms. The Battle for Quel'Thorei will decide the fate of Lordaeron and more than that, all of the Eastern Kingdoms.
