The Horde is made up of Orcs, Forsaken, Tauren, Trolls, Blood Elves, Goblins, and most recently, Pandaren (Huojin). Misunderstood and cast aside, these diverse and powerful races strive to overcome their differences and unite as one in order to win freedom for their people and prosper in a land that has come to hate them. In the Horde, action and strength are valued above diplomacy, and its leaders earn respect by the blade, wasting no time with politics. The brutality of the Horde's champions is focused, giving a voice to those who fight for survival The Horde is one of the two major political factions of the mortal races in Azeroth, its counterpart being the Alliance. The Horde, a faction founded by Orcish immigrants from Draenor, have survived in the hostile world of Azeroth by forging alliances (some trusting, some less so) with local races such as the Tauren people, the Trolls, and the undead of the Forsaken.[3] Although its ideals, policies, and beliefs have been revised and membership has changed over time, it is the same Horde inherited by Thrall of the Frostwolf Clan (son of Chieftain Durotan) through Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer.[4] However, since the mantle of Warchief was passed on to Garrosh Hellscream, the Horde's alliance with other races has began to suffer heavily due to Garrosh's warmongering. A direct example of this are the trolls under Vol'jin leaving Orgrimmar because of Garrosh's hunger for war and Sylvanas Windrunner ignoring the warchief's commands and using her plague on her enemies. Eventually, the Horde was fractured in two and a civil war erupted, between Garrosh's Followers and the Darkspear Rebellion led by Vol'Jin. With the help of the Alliance, the rebels ultimately overthrew Garrosh Hellscream. He was then arrested to stand trial in Pandaria. Thrall the Orc appointed Vol'Jin of the Darkspear Trolls then as the new Warchief of the Horde, and King Varian agreed to put an end to the war.
