Lore portion starts at (14:18)From the dust of Durotar to the blood-soaked forests of Ashenvale, the Horde rises anew.Under Garrosh Hellscream’s iron banners, an age of ambition and fire begins, one forged in sweat, steel, and sacrifice.In the valleys where orcs once trained beneath the desert sun, the drums of war now echo through flooded rivers and burning shores. Troll seers glimpse fel shadows returning, goblin engineers shape devastation from ingenuity, and the Horde’s cities swell with the thunder of forges and the roar of war engines.Yet power is never without cost. As the Horde expands east into Azshara and north into Ashenvale, every victory leaves scars upon the land, forests screaming beneath sawblades, spirits fading into silence, and warriors questioning whether strength alone can define honor.From the first trials in the Valley of Trials to the great sieges that darken Kalimdor’s skies, this is the birth of the modern Horde, relentless, divided, and unstoppable.Tides of Lore: Episode 49 – “The Horde War Machine.”Every empire begins with a single strike of the hammer.
