In the RPG

Icon-RPG This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

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.[4]
