On the Isle of Quel’Danas, you’d think that there would be no reason to grumble. However I bring you news that all is not well within the island community!

I spoke with one of the members of staff in the Quel’Danas Cleaning Company (QDCC) who was not happy at all.

“It’s all this killing, it’s making our work a lot harder and more dangerous!” said the worker, who didn’t want to be named in case of revenge attacks upon his family.

“We blame it all on them Goblins getting ready to open up travel to Northrend! Everyone wants to go and see the sights, take to the slopes and try out the new winter resorts, so they are squeezing Shattered Sun for all the gold they have so they can pay their fare! This has led to competition over collecting all that they want to help them fight the Legion and this has spilled over into some nastiness here and there. Only yesterday, my boss sent me to clean up a pile of 30 carcasses that had been left to rot after a disagreement as to who would be fixing them dodgy guardians. Push came ot shove and the next thing you know there’s a full scale blood bath!”

When asked is this had led to any problems for him and his colleagues, the worker was in no doubt about matters. “We should be getting danger money for this sort of work! My mate was working over the western side of the isle, making sure that the hedge rows were all neat and tidy and some huge Tauren charged up to him and lopped his head right off! Poor guy was only doing what he could to keep his family above the honey bread line! If this keeps up I’m gonna have to quit for a safer line of work, maybe them Goblins need help on their zeppelins or somink?”

Whatever the reason for this bloody terror that has enveloped the idilic Isle of Quel’Danas, one thing is certain, that blood will spill when gold is involved!

Brill Residents Lose Night’s Sleep Over Haphazard Expansion Effort

Last night the citizens of the sleepy town of Brill were rudely awakened by the sound of feverish activity as the G.A.C. raised a new tower on the outskirts of town. Assorted Goblins, Orcs and even some human mages were seen constructing the new tower. When confronted, Haman Grockwrench stated; “Look, I just work here, ‘kay? Dunno what it’s for, don’care really.”. Similar construction efforts have been reported outside Orgrimmar, but are as yet unconfirmed.

The new tower in Brill

Disturbing fact of the new development is its timely appearance after Mister Gromwell took over the lease and license for the Gallows’End Tavern for a mere pittance. Already rumours of insider trading and bribes are floating about, being duly investigated by this newspaper.

This recent development in the affairs of the Goblin Airship Company, combined with unconfirmed and vehemently denied yet stubborn rumours of a recent airship crash over the North Sea does raise questions about the G.A.C.’s management and the safety of our airways.

Both Mister Gromwell and the G.A.C. were not available for comment.

Reports are coming in of a an act of random violence (ARV) being perpetrated in the auction house of Booty Bay yesterday.

The felon, known only as Gurfang, was found to be pummeling Gnome named Rumpali and cursing her in many different languages. The guards of Booty Bay were quick to the scene and dragged the deranged Orc to a secure facility so he could cool off for the night, with him shouting his innocence and saying something about his victim having put graffiti up on the Auction House item listings.

I later caught up with Rumpali to find out what happened, but found her weeping uncontrollably, clearly still upset by the ordeal. Here is a transcript:

Tally Wakker: Excuse me, Miss Rumpali, could you stop crying for a moment and tell me what

Rumpali: Stop crying? Look at us warlocks! Look at what they do to us! Just because we are different, just because they fear our power they do all they can to bring us down! Stop crying? Look at warlocks! Everywhere we go we are shunned by the local populace. Every time we want to buy runes and potions for our spells we are ejected because people don’t understand us! All people want to do is bring warlocks low.

Tally Wakker : What was it that brought on this crazed attack?

Rumpali: I have no idea! All I know is I was scrawling a spell on the nearest parchment I could find and the next thing I was having my head squeezed between a green fist and a solid wall. Then he picked me up by my ankles and again my face met the wall repeatedly!

Tally Wakker: So you admit that you were defacing the Auction House listings?

Rumpali: What of it? What of it when compared to the grave injustices that are heaped upon me and my fellow warlocks? Orcs like that should have their insides removed and boiled in a cauldron filled with the Ichor of Undeath! All people should fear and respect us! Long live the warlock revolution!

Unfortunately I am unable to print any more of the interview as it became a political diatribe promoting the Gnome’s views, which we at the Goblin Gazette are always keen to avoid so as to keep our paper balanced.

So what of this strange incident? Do we take it that this Gnome was unfairly set upon? Or was it right that a member of the public should take a stand against the defacing of a public notice board? Is this deranged Orc actually a fine and upstanding citizen who we should all look up to?
More to come I’m sure, and ONLY in the Goblin Gazette!

General Yrjial Stormscream together with her husband Alaster Grymm leads the Ashen Order, a special forces group that acts under Thrall’s supervision. Which many may already know the General is pregnant, something that raises several questions. Questions the Gazette feels obliged to seek answers to.

Alaster Grymm is a Forsaken. This is perhaps the chief concern in the matter. It is commonly known that the ability to reproduce as a Forsaken is nill. However as we in the Gazette are faithful supporters of Hard Fact we went to Undercity to seek out one of the furthermost authorities on Forsaken matters such as these to get a final answer - Lord Archnazg Magnark. Not only is he Sylvanas’ right hand man and the leader of the House of Sylvanas, but also a celebrated doctor of the the Royal Apothecary in Undercity. When questioned on the matter he answered thusly:

“As Forsaken are dead. The sperm cells are, also. Alas, it is impossible for a Forsaken to impregnate anything.”

So there we have it, dear readers. Doctor Grymm can not be the father of Yrjials unborned child. The once respected general, an adamant rock of strength and moral, has cracked and begotten a child with another man, while still in marriage with Alaster Grymm. Alaster himself have been absent now for quite a while. Officially it is said that he travelled to Northrend to aid in the war effort against the Scourge. But is this why he really went? Many suspect that the real reason for his sudden absence is that he left Yrjial as he could not stomach being with her when he found out that she clearly has had an affair with another man.

 Sources tell us of rumors that used to circulate within the Order a good while back about a suspected secret romance between Yrjial and one of her councillors, Turk Zala’Bon. Is he the real father? Perhaps Alaster just lacked the abilites needed to please a demanding woman such as Yrjial and Turk was the perfect troll to satisfy her more carnal needs?

The Gazette, determined to shed some light on this scandalous affair and bring Truth to the people, sought out Kaali Tzataluul, Senechal of Ashen Order and close friend of Yrjial. Among telling us how much they liked eachother and how they use to bath together (another sign of Yrjials obviously strong “needs”?), she then told us something quite surprising, something that took the whole story to a totally new place.

 While the moonlight made her eyes sparkle from behind her wooden mask depicting some voodoo devil she told us a story of how Yrjial had been taken to a mountain where she had participated in some Winterspythe ritual where “… de’ spirit brin’ she baby, cha?”   It is not unknown that many of these rituals, especially trollish ones, that celebrate the spirits and such, are sexual in character. Is this perhaps the answer to the question?

Yrjial Stormscream, a noteworthy military general in charge of one of the more elite groups in the Horde, participates in religious extremist ritual sex orgies? Is this how it happened? One of the countless participants of the orgy managed to impregnate the General and to try and cover it up they weave up some incredible story about a spirit giving her the baby? No wonder Alaster left.

 In one final attempt to find the Truth our brave reporter went to the Order guildhall to perhaps bring forth Truth through confrontation. However the people of the Ashen Order was not susceptible to our humble questions and they answered with brutal voilence. Our reporter is now recovering in an infirmary after the severe burns he got when thrown into a fire by Councillor Vaali Tzataluul. As you might guess he is one of Kaali’s countless siblings, a family who is well known to have no qualms over participating in any carnal pleasure - is this perhaps become descriptive of the Order as a whole? Is this the Order we want to handle our law and host our legal trials? Is this the Order we want to decide the fate of our most dangerous criminals?

This the Gazette asks, and so should you.

First-hand report from the Orgrimmar Halls of Justice by Samantha Gizzlesprock

Dozens of people attended the trial of Snicka, Warlord of the Heritage of Zandalar last night in Orgrimmar, in the Ring of Valor. The troll warlord was accused of kidnapping and torturing Malicestrom, High Shadowstalker of the House of Sylvanas, as we have reported in our last issue.

The accused, Snicka is the self-named Warlord of the troll tribe calling themselves the Heritage of Zandalar. His guild was formerly dedicated to the Amani warlord Zul’jin, but apparently turned away from him after the leader of Zul’Aman declared war on the Horde. Yet, is it rumored that Snicka still works for Zul’jin in secret. Previously he has been accused by attempted murder, and offensive behaviour on the Scryers’ tier.

Judge Davos Grymm of the Ashen Order was the leader of the law court. Elder brother of the guild’s leader, Alaster Grymm, Davos is the former Councilor of Law in the Order, a position currently taken by the troll Turk Zala’bon, who could not be present at the beginning of the trial. Despite being Undead, he is apparently a devoted priest of the Holy Light, a power that is known to destroy undeath.

On behalf of the prosecution, Dr. Archnazg Magnark spoke. Dr. Magnark currently holds the titles of the High Apothecarian and the Dark Lord of the House of Sylvanas, and is said to be the right-hand man of Sylvanas Windrunner; some even speculate a romantic relationship between him and the Banshee Queen. He is said to perform illegal experiments in his laboratory; brewing poisons and creating new forms of Undeath. He is also said to control a massive army of demons.

A young and rather attractive troll lady called Ryleen from the Heritage of Zandalar spoke in defense of her Warlord. Born among the Darkspear trolls, Ryleen left her tribe at a young age and was educated in Silvermoon City by elven arcanists. Being more civilized and educated than most of her kin, she recently returned to her roots and joined the Heritage of Zandalar, where she holds the position of the Treasurer.

The trial itself was short and straight. Ryleen replied to Archnazg’s accusation by telling that Malicestrom was not captured, but agreed with the Heritage on him pretending to be a hostage. He was treated like a guest, and protected from the House. Yet, he disappeared just two days before the trial. Archnazg, on the other hand, claimed that Malicestrom has returned to them and was poisoned and covered with wounds.

The living proof, Malicestrom was not present, so Judge Grymm was about to cancel the trial in lack of evidence, when Ryleen summoned a witness: Gorthark of the Bleeding Axe Clan. The orc chieftain claimed he was present when Malicestrom and Snicka agreed on the fake kidnapping. The court found the accused innocent in the sin of kidnapping, but sentenced him to pay one hundred gold pieces to the Orgrimmar authorities for his unwise decision and provocative act. Yet the House of Sylvanas was sentenced to pay one hundred and fifty gold pieces to the Heritage of Zandalar for ruining their fame and accusing them

Different opinions were heard after the trial:

“Let’s face it: Snicka was paid fifty gold pieces for kidnapping a House of Sylvanas officer. Is that what you call a fair judgement?”

“Archnazg tried to mislead the judge with lies. He summoned infernals on Sen’jin Village. And he’s still walking free?”

“The Ashen Order dared to interfere in a conflict which should have been solved between Archnazg and Snicka in a fair fight instead!”

“I be ‘appy Snicka be free… ‘e be such a handsome mon, ‘e can’ be guilty.”

Breaking news by Samantha Gizzlesprock, directly from the heart of Durotar

All Azeroth was surprised when Thrall, Warchief of the Horde and Sylvanas Windrunner, Banshee Queen of the Forsaken formed their pact we know now as the New Horde. The races of the Old Horde, the orcs, the trolls and the tauren showed mistrust towards their new undead allies since then. “I don’t like anything at all about them…” “Skinny, smelly and scheming!” “I bet they still serve the Lich King in secret!” “Cursed, twisted creations breaking Nature’s Laws!” Such opinions are heard on the streets of Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff all the time. Some even think that Thrall’s mind has been possessed by the Banshee Queen, and mistrust the Warchief too. “Dat witch ’as poisoned dat big orc’s li’l brains!” said a citizen of Sen’jin Village. “Dem Undead be usin’ us as puppets now! But we cannot bear dis!”

The recent acts of the undead criminal Tivak has put some oil on the fire. After poisoning a troll girl in the Broken Keel in Ratchet, as we have reported in our last issue, he is also accused of capturing and torturing several trolls and tauren, and performing illegal experiments on them. Yet, Sylvanas has made no efforts to stop him; it is likely that she even supports Tivak’s experiments, although she hides this from Thrall. Dr. Archnazg Magnark, leader of the House of Sylvanas and right-hand man of the Banshee Queen has offered protection for Tivak from the relatives of his victims. The tauren Liontooth Grimtotem has been arrested in the Undercity. The Greywolf tauren have rescued him and declared war against the House of Sylvanas.

Having enough of the Horde leadership closing eyes over Tivak’s deeds, a band of trolls, led by the infamous Warlord Snicka, known devoter of Zul’jin, have captured a House of Sylvanas officer, High Shadowstalker Malicestrom. They attempted to blackmail the House and trade Malicestrom for Tivak; they threatened the House with killing Malicestrom unless they accept their offer. Archnazg responded to this by attacking Sen’jin Village. According to the citizen of Sen’jin mentioned above, “Dere have been at least twenty, maybe thirty undead raiders. Snicka an’ his mons tried to fight him, but dey summoned dem big burnin’ rock demons who put da top of our huts on fire!” Malicestrom’s present location is unknown, it’s possible that the trolls have killed him.

Summoning demons on Horde land and turning them against members of the Horde, innocent or guilty, is something that has not happened since Thrall agreed to accept the Warlocks into the Horde. Some Orcish guilds like the Bleeding Axe Clan and the Warsong Blades have expressed their intentions to punish the House of Sylvanas for this. “The Demons are the fiercest enemies of our race since we have broken free from the Burning Legion!” according to a Warsong grunt. “If the undead summon infernals, they’ll get what they deserve for it!”

To avoid the unavoidable civil war, the guild Ashen Order has made efforts to arrest the ones responsible for the conflict. They got Snicka, and has made an an attempt to do the same with Tivak too. Though Archnazg Magnark was willing to hand the criminal over, despite that he offered protection to him before, the evil mage managed to escape, and is still on the loose. Yet, there are a lot of people unsatisfied with the Order’s acts. “Da Orda’ ’as not known anythin’ ’bout wot happened, an’ yet dey act as if dey been Justice demselves!” Ironically, all guilds involved, except for the Orcish clans, have been involved in the Blood Pact before.

Will the Horde be able to avoid the conflict, or will it fall apart? How much longer will the Old Horde races and the Forsaken be able to put their hatred against each other away? Will the Horde, broken apart, be able to protect themselves from the Alliance?

Goblin Gazette, bringing you the latest news from first-hand sources!

The Broken Keel tavern is well known by all who have ever put a foot into Ratchet. Sailors from all over the world know that they can have a good drink here before setting out on their long journey or arriving to the lands of Kalimdor. Although the town is almost entirely populated by goblins, the place has been rented by the Extreme Angling Club for almost ten months now. Originally intended to be a clubhouse for these fishermen, their leader Vexacus and his wife Vypra have soon realized that they can make a good profit by selling drinks to the sailors and other guests who enter. They soon got the permission for the Liquor License.
The bar’s visitors are mostly from the Horde; it seems that people from the Alliance are not very keen on visiting a pub run by an orc and a troll. Although Vypra tries her best to be friendly with all the guests, it happens that some visitors can’t put away their grudges against their enemies, and fights break out. According to Vypra, she doesn’t like to use violence, but once “we did get a rowdy bunch o’ humans in… I had ta persuade dem to leave.” Also, a dwarven dancer was seriously injured in these fights.
Despite these occasional conflicts, the Keel has been very popular, until a recent tragedy.

When Yma, the young troll girl entered the Keel for the first drink in her life, she didn’t expect that it will be her last drink too. She ordered some junglevine wine; and unfortunately Vypra picked one of the two bottles that were poisoned.
“Somebody managed to slip a couple o’ bottles o’ poisoned wine inta ma stock…” she complained to me. She even knew who the poisoner was, because he left a message to them. “Da labels of da poison bottle was covered in a differen’ poison… dat I got all over ma hands when I were checking da bottle… when I peeled dat label off dere wa’ a message from he under it: Regards - Tivak.“
According to Vypra, Tivak is an undead that has already been messing around in her bar a couple of times. He’s after a tauren from the Greywolf Tribe called Chowlawu, who regularly visits the Broken Keel; but poor innocent Yma was in his way. “Da poison were so strong” said Vypra. “She died, even wid me, an druid an’ a paladin’ all tryin’ to heal she!” Vypra’s hands also got deeply injured, by the other poison in the label of the bottle; they are still swollen, after more than a week.
Vypra quickly got rid of the poisoned bottles, though “a sample wa’ sen’ off ta apothecaries in Undercity… but I still ain’ heard back from ‘em.” She suspects that Tivak could have stopped them from recieving the poison sample.
A few days later, Vypra held a memorial for Yma. We, at the Goblin Gazette all want to express our deepest condolence towards all who have known her.
Vypra fears that after this poisoning, the Broken Keel will lose a lot from its popularity. “It seem ta have already. Las’ nigh’ were pretty quiet.” But she keeps running the bar. “I work real hard ta get tings goin’ well here… I ain’ gonna give it up yet.”

Samantha Gizzlesprock’s hot news about the Battle!

As you may have read in the article by the great Tally Wakker from our last issue, the Battle of Raven Hill was an event that shook the whole Azeroth. The sudden attack of the Orcs against the southern borders of the Kingdom of Stormwind was as surprising as it was fearsome. But what was the reason behind this attack?

According to High Commander Saurfang: “This wasn’t an attack planned by the Warchief, strength and honour to his almighty self. We carry on the warfare against the Alliance in Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley, but we didn’t declare open war against Stormwind.” To my question about the identity of the mind behind this offence, he replied: “Could have been the Shattered Hand, if you ask me. Or the Blackrock Clan. They haven’t broken free of the Legion’s grip yet, and their acts, dirty or noble, aren’t supervised by our Warchief. But we are looking into this issue, believe me.”

But if it wasn’t the Horde’s leaders who planned the attack, who could it be? According to Snurk Bucksquick, the pretty zeppelin master of Orgrimmar, the attacking flew from Durotar to Stranglethorn Vale. “A week before that scary fight an orc, hiding his face behind a mask, came to me and booked a place for fifty people on the Iron Eagle. I wondered why he wanted to take so many people to Stranglethorn, but business is business, you know. Might have been a massive safari or a jungle party too.” When I asked what was the name the zeppelin was booked for, she lowered her voice and told me that she should keep the name in secret, but later whispered a simple alias: “Lorechief”.

Sky-Captain Bomblast, captain of the airship Iron Eagle, confirmed the fact that a massive army of orcs flew from Durotar to Stranglethorn on his zeppelin. “It was a real mess, believe me. The Eagle is a strong girl, but to carry the fat ass of fifty orcs… we had to use up all our phlogiston to keep her in the air. One more orc, and we would have crashed straight into the ocean.” I asked if there were members of other races allied to the Horde in that army, but he told me “No, it was only orcs. No bulls, no tuskies, no blondies or skinnies either.” The name Lorechief rang a tune to him too, although he told me “Lorechief, Warlord, High Seer or Blademaster… those orcies love to brag around with these ranks they give to each other. There are at least a hundred High Seers and two hundred Warlords, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a couple of Lorechiefs around.”

I tried to ask around in the Cleft of Shadows if anyone heard about someone using the alias of Lorechief, but Neeru Fireblade unleashed his imp on me for disturbing him. I had better success in the Valley of Honor, where a grunt who asked me not to reveal his name to the readers told me: “Me know Lorechief. He be shaman always wearing mask. He want claim back Azeroth from humans. Azeroth belong to Horde.” I asked him to lead me to this Lorechief, but he told me: “I no know where he be. He just come and go.”

So there’s an orc named Lorechief walking around, possibly in Durotar, possibly somewhere else. He commands a massive group of orcs, according to the numbers who besieged Raven Hill. Will he keep silent for a while or is he planning a second attack against human lands? We cannot know that for sure. But if he does so you’ll read about it first here, in the Goblin Gazette!

News brought to you by the one and only Samantha Gizzlesprock!HH

Raven Hill in Duskwood, so often the scene of men and women running from the feared undead, saw a new terror grip it recently in what has been described as the most ferocious battle seen since the end of the second war. I was on hand in the immediate aftermath of the bloodshed and was able to speak to some of the people who saw and were even involved in what is now being referred to as “The Battle for Raven Hill”.

Bliztik, a respected purveyor of vials and potions, was going about his business as it all occured.

“I had just had a busy day of selling and trading and not five minutes before I’d had a very good trading with some fellow from Booty Bay when I hear this noise outside my hut. I try and carry on my cashing up, but I suddenly hear a crash right outside my window and an axe flies through my open window and through my open door onto the paving outside! I quickly hide my earnings and look outside and the place is crawling with Orcs and Humans, all beating the hell out of each other! I decided to scram and made it to the basement of Jitter’s house. After all, what’s the good of a dead salesman?”

I then made my way to Darkshire and spoke with Madame Trelayne, who was busy taking care of the wounded and the dying.

“My ladies have been hard at work ever since the first people arrived from the battlefield. Some have been able to just rest up and sample our wares, others have needed more intimate care and have had one-to-one supervision for much of the night. The moaning and groaning at times has brought some of the girls to tears. I myself was clenching a man’s hand only half an hour ago and the emotion of being so connected to another human being is quite intense!”

I then went to speak to Commander Althea Ebonlocke, head of the Night Watch in Duskwood.

“The first we heard of anything was when a messenger came from Lieutenant Doren, telling us of a force gathering in Grom’gol that looked like it could be making it’s way towards Duskwood. I immediately sent word to Felicia Maline to get the word out to Goldshire, Lakeshire and Sentinel Hill that we needed urgent help. The Stormwind Militia sent a full brigade and the few that People’s Militia were able to send arrived by Gryphon just as we intended to have our small army march out to meet our foe. Magistrate Solomon said that he feared that such an attack by the Orcs would only happen if they had allied themselves with the Blackrock Orcs and so said all his available troops had to stay and prepare for their own defence. This left us greatly undermanned!

“The plan was to stand and fight on the road from Stranglethorn Vale, but when the enemy came in sight it became obvious that they greater in number. All the men could do was fall back and hope that they could draw them away from Darkshire. They fell back as far as Raven Hill, where they were met by a late arriving force sent direct from Gryan Stoutmantle’s personal bodyguard. With numbers bolstered it was decided that Raven Hill would be where the battle took place.”

I then went to speak to Kzixx, another Goblin trader of renown who works in the area. His patch, on the road between Lakeshire and Darkshire, is well away from the scene of the fighting but, as he told us, it seemed a lot closer than it was!

“Well, there I was trying to sell my wares to any passing traveller when an almighty roar erupted to the West. I was very worried that it might be that dragon in the mountains deciding that he was hungry but then a runner from Darkshire came by and informed us that there was a battle near the cemetery! To make that much noise there had to be a fair few involved, that’s all I can say!”

I asked him if he had heard anything about the possible threat to Lakeshire from more Orcs, but all that Kzixx could say was that his sources said that business was fine there.

Could this be another attempt by the Orcs to push towards Stormwind and finish that which they failed to do so many years ago? Could the rumour that has recently started circling, that the orders came from Stonard, suggest a possible power struggle in the Orc nation? Could the Orcs of Kalimdor be about to find that their brothers in the East are going to abandon them in favour of a more warlike leader? Is it possible that some of the Fel Orcs of Hellfire Peninsula have gotten through the Dark Portal and have infected the leaders in Stonard? All I do know is that whether at war or at peace, it’s all good for business if you’re a Goblin!

This is your number 1 reporter with the news of Azeroth, when it matters, where it matters!

New traitors within the Horde

The Horde hardly woke up from the shock of the betrayal of the Amani trolls, when a new threat arose among them. And it came from the race they least expected: not the vicious trolls, the malicious undead or the greedy blood elves, but the gentle and peaceful tauren.

The Greywolf Tribe is well known by anyone who ever put a foot or a hoof into Thunder Bluff. Unlike other guilds of the Horde, they’ve never waged open war against the peoples of the Alliance; quite on the contrary, they stayed within the Bluff unless somebody directly entered Mulgore with intention to harm. Strangely, the Horde never seemed to show any disapproval towards this; they accepted the Greywolves being peaceful, no matter how powerful the tauren are at war. “They respect our choice, most of the time” said Rallos, a druid and engineer of the Tribe. He thinks the guild is approved because they are “not the only ones in the world seeking peace”.

However, some of the Greywolves didn’t feel this way. Inspired by the teachings of Magatha Grimtotem, a group of tauren left their old tribe to fight those who invade Kalimdor. Combining the name of their matron and their original tribe, they named themselves “the Grimwolves”. “We do not take as kindly to invaders as they do”, said Liontooth, one of the Grimwolves, referring to the Greywolf Tribe.

Who are these invaders? “Anything from centaurs to Alliance”, according to Liontooth. Moonanuky and Rallos from the Greywolf Tribe gave us more information: “They seek to purge Kalimdor from the races that do not belong here… Orcs, draenei, dwarves, troll, gnomes… they kill what they see now.”

So the Grimwolves show no mercy to evev their brethren in the Horde, including the orcs, who have saved their people from being slaughtered by the centaur and helped them find a new homeland. They respect the Night Elves, however, because “this land is their land as well”, and the Forsaken undead, for being able to break free from the Lich King’s slavery.

How does the Greywolf Tribe react to this? “I am still friends with one of the Grimwolves”, said Rallos, referring to Liontooth. “I respect his choice.” Moonanuky told us that she ignores the Grimwolves, but not because of their vicious goals, but because “a good friend of mine has a baby with one of the Grimwolves”. When I asked Liontooth if this baby is his, he didn’t want to reply, but every clue shows that he abandoned his newborn child to achieve his goals.

So the Greywolf Tribe seems to be as peaceful towards the Grimwolves as anyone else. “Everyone should have the freedom to choose without anyone else affecting it” according to Rallos. If you’d like to destroy all races of Kalimdor, feel free. The Greywolves can feel themselves safe, because they are taurens, so they aren’t on the Grimwolves’ death list. If their Grimwolf brethren destroy their saviors, the orcs, they do not care.

If the Grimwolves manage to conquer Kalimdor, we, goblins have to give up our mines and markets in the Barrens and Mulgore, abandon the cities of Ratchet, Mudsprocket, Gadgetzan and Everlook. We will lose such potential customers as the orcs or the draenei. We can only hope that someone will act before the Grimwolves succeed.
