— Aggra to her future life-mate^[2]^[7]

Aggralan, more commonly known as Aggra (pronounced "AW-gruh),^[8] is a Mag'har orc shaman from Garadar in Nagrand. She was charged with training Thrall in the traditional shamanic arts and, despite initial disagreements, the two quickly bonded and began a romantic relationship, eventually becoming life-mates.

The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm[]

This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

Shortly before the Cataclysm, Thrall journeyed to Garadar to discover why the elements of Azeroth were so afraid. When he arrived, Greatmother Geyah advised him to turn to the Mag'har Aggra, who told him that he had toed the line between being a leader and a shaman long enough and that he would have to give up his leadership to truly become a shaman. Aggra was Thrall's guide during a vision quest. Despite their rough beginnings, Thrall and Aggra grew closer to one another as he became truly connected with the spirits and became a proper shaman. Before returning to Azeroth Thrall and Aggra became mates.

When Thrall and Aggra returned to Azeroth, they participated in the funeral of Cairne Bloodhoof. The next day, she noticed that Thrall no longer wore the armor of Doomhammer, and she was satisfied. Both left Thunder Bluff and Mulgore and went to the goblin port town Ratchet where Gazlowe welcomed them and prepared a ship to the Maelstrom. The ship was called Draka's Fury in honor of all orcish women. Aggra was emotional and together with Thrall and a crew boarded the ship and left Kalimdor to the Maelstrom.^[10] However, their journey would not be smooth as they had intended.^[11]

The Goblins of the Bilgewater Cartel, who were also attacked by the Alliance, and the Horde aided one in another in combating the denizens of the Isles and the Alliance forces who had captured Thrall.

When Thrall found himself unable to completely focus on healing the Maelstrom, Aggra tried to get him to touch with the Spirit of Life.

While not physically with him, there thought of Aggra was enough to encourage Thrall to never give up during his quest.

After the Guardians of Hyjal and adventurers thwart the invasion of Mount Hyjal by the Twilight's Hammer and Ragnaros, a meeting was convened at the ancient World Tree of Nordrassil. Thrall and Aggra were among the gathered heroes at the meeting that ended in tragedy when an incredibly powerful agent of the Twilight Hammer interrupted the ceremony and struck down Thrall with dark magic, casting his spirit into the four domains of the Elemental Plane. While the Aspects conceded that Thrall may be lost to the elements forever, Aggra believed that her mate could be saved, and called on the aid of adventurers of both the Horde and the Alliance to venture into the Skywall, the Abyssal Maw, Deepholm, and Firelands to rescue her beloved from an eternity of torment. Before adventurers can return Thrall's spirit to the natural world, they must help him overcome his doubts, his willfulness, his desires, and his rage before he is bound to his elemental cage.^[13]

The Kosh'harg - Aggralan's totems — Aggra prepared to the start the Kosh'harg festival.

As Aggra and her family were visiting Drek'Thar, they were unexpectedly joined by Eitrigg and orc champions who had arrived to recruit Drek'Thar in their mission to bring back the Kosh'harg festival. While Drek'Thar was quick to join in agreement about the festival, Aggra declared that they should offer more than just a return of the festival, that they should create a new rite of passage, one that teaches not just of the hunt, but what it means to be an orc, an om'gora - a rite of honor. The others quickly agreed and Aggra offered no objections when Eitrigg declared that the champion should be the first to complete the om'gora.

After Drek'Thar declared that his old bones wouldn't make it to Kalimdor, he instructed Aggra with presiding over the Kosh'harg, and promoted her to Farseer, while remarking it was a title long overdue. For her part, Aggra was deeply honored.^[23] As Thrall and Eitrigg gathered the clans for the festival, Aggra revealed that it was to be held within Razor Hill, and invited the champion to either guide her children to the town or simply meet them within, while declaring that it was her task to make sure the om'gora provided a worthy challenge for them. As the om'gora started, she declared that it was to be a rite of honor, earned by three blessings. Of the clan, of the land, and of the ancestors. She further stated that when all three had been earned, the champion would understand what it means to be an orc.^[24] She subsequently issued each rite, from aiding the Owa'nohe (the spirit of Thunder Ridge), to honoring the ancestors by crafting a worthy offering, and with joining one of the orc clans at the Kosh'harg, in order to move forward and prove their own strength and worth to the living orcs. In the last regard, Aggra and the clan chieftains decided that the blessing of the clans would take inspiration from the om'riggor.^[25]

Once all three blessings had been acquired, Aggra declared that the champion had successfully completed the om'gora, and that the time had come to celebrate. As the orcs feasted in the champion's honor, Aggra encouraged them to revel in the glory they had earned and to put any of the orcs who got out of line in their place, as a reminder as to why they had completed the new rite first. As she feasted with her family, she would privately remark to the champion that Eitrigg's faith was not misplaced and that the champion had made fans out of both of her children.^[26]

Soon after, Aggra performed the ceremony to bring the Kosh'harg to a close.^[27]
