Cataclysm
- Main article: Ruins of Taurajo
During the events of Cataclysm, the town was destroyed by the Alliance, in order to secure their offensive against the Horde. The Alliance, expanding from Northwatch Hold under false information that the tauren were planning an attack, had razed Camp Taurajo.[1] Several quest chains do show that General Hawthorne, who led the assault, ordered his men to give the townsfolk an opening in their defensive lines for them to escape. He had also ordered the camp to be firebombed by Wildhammer mercenaries, whether before or after the battle is won stays unknown.[2] Several civilians were killed during the assault, some stated as while defending their home from the Alliance forces.[3] The civilian casualties caused some within the Horde to call the Alliance attack a massacre.[3] Baine Bloodhoof believed that Camp Taurajo was a legitimate military target and exiled tauren that disagreed or fought back against Alliance soldiers.[4] Due to the attack, the way into Mulgore was reinforced with a wall and a gate.[1] Though the gate was threatened by Alliance soldiers. .[5]
The survivors, along with some of the survivors of Honor's Stand, have fled to Camp Una'fe ("Una'fe", fittingly, means "refuge" in taur-ahe) in the Overgrowth. Some other survivors have sworn vengeance on the Alliance and left for Vendetta Point.

In the RPG
Camp Taurajo is run by tauren, and Jorn Skyseer leads it. It lies along the Gold Road, south of Crossroads. The camp is concerned with defending against the encroaching quilboar, and often holds captured quilboar prisoners. Brann Bronzebeard speculates that if the threat of the quilboar is ever removed, they may turn their attention toward the dwarves at Bael Modan, potentially posing a threat to the excavation.[6]
Trivia
- In the Mists of Pandaria beta, Thunder Cleft was originally named New Taurajo.
