![]() Three years as a prisoner of war to who he believed were "damnable Frostwolf Clan". Wing Commander Ichman, said he had spent three years in the hell hole. "The taking, culling, and turning of that land is a sovereign and territorial imperative to the kingdom of Ironforge." He believes both must be exterminated in the name of King Magni Bronzebeard. The cannibalistic Winterax trolls attack them from one side and the savage Frostwolf Clan from the other. He claims that they are fighting a brutal battle in the valleys of Alterac. Lieutenant Rotimer clarifies that the "sovereign imperative" originates from Ironforge, and was issued by King Magni Bronzebeard. See also, Vanndar's book The Frostwolf Artichoke: Tales of Stormpike Glory. He wants to slaughter all orcs including Drek'Thar, believing that when the General falls, the land will finally turn over to its rightful owner, "Ironforge". He dismisses the orcs as "savages trying to halt Ironforge's sovereign imperialistic imperative". Note that the Winterax gave up on the valley and went to look for greener pastures Alliance viewpoints Vanndar Stormpike has been given orders from Ironforge against making peace with the orcs, and appears to agree with the orders. While the main conflict seems to be limited to Alterac Valley, the fighting has apparently spilled into the other valleys of Alterac as well.Īdditionally the Ironforge dwarves believe they have a right to the lands as well, and Magni Bronzebeard has issued a "sovereign imperialistic imperative" to the Stormpike Guard to take the land for the kingdom of Ironforge.Īt this point in time both factions (possibly even the troll faction as well) believe they have historical connections to the valleys and want to take them back. ![]() – connections to ancient dwarves (previously Earthen) are the troggs that are found in the northern part of the valley. The valleys of Alterac are also sometimes referred to as the "Dwarf Highlands" - for example, "Frost Wolf was sent into the Dwarf Highlands in the mountains". It is important to note that the Alterac Valley is just one of many of "the valleys of Alterac" where the Stormpike Clan live, and are known to "defend fiercely against the trolls and orcs that invaded the area." Nevertheless, Brann points out, apparently he understands why the Horde are interested in the area, but is not sure why the trolls want the area. "The Frostwolf Clan and the Stormpike Expedition battle for supremacy of this territory." The Stormpike dwarves sent in an initial expedition, the Stormpike Guard, to search for ancient relics of their past and mine for natural resources and were attacked (they felt) without provocation by the territorial Frostwolves.Īlterac Valley is also threatened by trolls in the area. Despite their intentions, the dwarven presence has sparked heated conflict with the Frostwolf orcs to the south, who have vowed to drive the interlopers from their lands. ![]() It is likely that they did not know of the Frostwolf orcs' connection to the area when choosing to visit the valley. The Stormpike Expedition have set up residence in the valley to search for natural resources and ancient titan relics. In recent times, however, the relative peace of the Frostwolves has been challenged by the arrival of the Dwarven Stormpike Expedition. It is here in the valley's southern reaches that the Frostwolves eked out a living until the rise of Thrall's new Horde.Īfter Thrall's triumphant uniting of the clans, the Frostwolves, now led by the orc shaman Drek'Thar, chose to remain in the valley they had for so long called their home. History and politics Long ago, before the First War, the warlock Gul'dan exiled a clan of orcs called the Frostwolf Clan (led by Durotan, father of Thrall ) to a hidden valley deep in the heart of the Alterac Mountains for refusing to drink the blood of Mannoroth. ![]()
