Mag'har orc (playable)



The Mag'har orcs are one of the playable Horde allied races in World of Warcraft, introduced in Battle for Azeroth. After the events of on the, the remnants of the Iron Horde and the Frostwolf clan united into one clan simply known as the , meaning "uncorrupted" in Orcish. During the Fourth War, the Horde opened a portal back to the alternate Draenor, only this time many years later from their point of view, to recruit them in the conflict against the Alliance. After saving their kin from the Lightbound, the Mag'har were stranded on Azeroth as the portal closed behind, and agreed to join the Horde.

Geya'rah, the alternate universe counterpart to Thrall, serves as the Mag'har leader now that they have settled on Azeroth. Much like their main universe allies, they prefer to ride wolves, and speak Orcish as a main language.

Race preview
''For untold generations, the orc clans of Draenor battled one another in endless war. But when Gul'dan offered them the blood of his demonic masters, the disparate tribes of Mag'har—the orcish word for "uncorrupted"—refused the dark bargain and banded together to drive out the Burning Legion. United under the leadership of Grommash Hellscream, the Mag'har pledged to one day repay Azeroth's heroes for aiding their cause. As war against the Alliance intensifies, the Horde must call upon the might of the Mag'har to seize victory.''

Note: the official Battle for Azeroth website says "In the aftermath of the fall of Hellfire Citadel..." instead of "United under the leadership of Grommash Hellscream..."

Creation screen description

Opening cutscene
Overlord Geya'rah: ''Strength and honor. Blood and thunder. Mere words to others... but everything to us. We are the last survivors of a proud tribe. The uncorrupted... the unbroken... the Mag'har!''

Appearance
Mag'har can have:
 * Black skin and rocky growths (Blackrock)
 * Gray skin, can also be mutilated (Burning Blade, Laughing Skull, Shadowmoon, Shattered Hand)
 * Brown skin, can also have brown or white tattoos (Bleeding Hollow for white tattoos, Burning Blade, Frostwolf, Shadowmoon, Thunderlord, Warsong for brown tattoos)

The gray skin tone with yellow eyes (Dragonmaw) and the pale white skin tone (Shattered Hand) are not available. The latter is likely not unavailable because it is tied to a separate, unique model unable to equip armor.
