Taran Zhu, despite his own private astonishment, took up his gavel and prepared to silence the chattering audience when Baine spoke again, regaining their lost attention. The tauren looked into the weathered dust in his palm and spoke a few simple truths: that, in the end, every living thing, every great mountain range, even the world of Azeroth itself-- would become dust someday. What mortal struggles mattered so much as the inevitable? Bloodhoof concluded his statements with observations from his time as the defender of Garrosh.
Through the abilities of Kairozdormu, he had seen many things: members of the elite Kor'kron division turn away from their rank in shame at being ordered to commit dishonorable acts against younglings; Durotan, father of Thrall, who attacked Telmor, but was later exiled for his beliefs; King Varian Wrynn, who had once held his sword to an unarmed woman clad in only a nightgown, and how that woman had embraced forgiveness and become a friend to Wrynn. Going on to extol the forgiveness of Alexstrasza and the ability of even Jaina Proudmoore, filled with fury though she was, to show restraint and prevent herself from becoming more like Garrosh, Baine concluded that his opponent had spoken of true justice, and that he believed that it would come to all present on that day.
Vereesa Windrunner had made herself known in the kitchens of the Temple, indulged herself in friendships with the Pandaren and nestled herself in the hearts, her grief a club to batter down their usual defenses. By the time the Celestials had been dispatched to deliberate, Vereesa was a well-known figure among the staff and was allowed to participate in the preparation of meals for all staying at the Temple-- including Garrosh.
The meal following the final remarks from the defender and accuser was assumed by many to be the last time Hellscream would ever dine on mortal food, and the cook encouraged Vereesa, her aide for the evening, to prepare him extra.
Despite a dour remark, Windrunner complied, as this was the perfect opportunity for her to deposit the poison she had been given into the former Warchief's food. Without hesitation, Vereesa did the deed and prepared to depart from the kitchens when the cook casually remarked that she should someday return to Pandaria, and bring her sons, Giramar and Galadin, with her. This made Windrunner pause-- she had not thought of her boys, truly thought about them, since the death of her husband at Theramore.
Rescinding her conviction, Vereesa chose to instead betray the plot to Anduin Wrynn himself, who was on his way to his final visit with Garrosh, and hurry home to Dalaran, where her boys awaited. Anduin, hesitating for only a moment in surprise at Vereesa's actions, hurried to the cell of Garrosh, whom he found to be an intensely "disagreeable" mood.
One of the guards remarked that the former Warchief was not facing "the sort of death he had envisioned for himself," and though he attempted to dissuade the young prince from seeing Garrosh, Anduin was insistent. His reception from Garrosh, though, was made up mostly of stinging rebukes, including an offhanded remark by the enraged orc about Wrynn's mother, the deceased Queen Tiffin of Stormwind.
Garrosh was insistent that the Light and its servant-- "an adolescent human boy "-- were intentionally mocking him and attempting to transform him from a warrior to something less, something that Hellscream refused to be.
The deposed Warchief mocked Anduin fiercely, insulting not only him, but his whole race and the Alliance. Claiming that he would rather spend the remainder of time in the Twisting Nether than be twisted to the will of the Light, Hellscream went on to claim that, the moment Anduin ascended to the throne of Stormwind, the Horde would come for him and his people in their capital and "impale [the prince's] peace-craving body on a spike," and that the spirits of Varian and Tiffin would wish that the latter had miscarried.
These savage, barbarous words did not sway the young prince, who pushed the dish of food from Garrosh's hands as the orc lifted it to his lips. Believing that he had inspired a victorious anger in Wrynn, Hellscream disbelieved the claim that the dish was poisoned until a nearby rat conveniently ate from the spilled food and perished at Garrosh's feet, blood and foam streaming from its orifices.
The Warchief and the Prince looked at each other for another moment before the latter departed the room.
Anduin spoke again to the pair of guards outside the cell and asked of them a favor: that the chains binding Garrosh's legs be removed for the ceremony that would see the verdict delivered. The Pandaren looked at one another, simply replying that they would take the request before Taran Zhu. In Dalaran, Vereesa, reunited with her young sons, received a message from Anduin informing her that Garrosh had not consumed the poison.
When prompted for a reply by the messenger, she only stated: "Rhonin thanks him. Garrosh escapes his trial by receiving help from a friend called Kairozdormu , a member of the Bronze Dragonflight who has secret aspirations of his own.
They both travel back in time to the Rise of the Horde and stop the Orcs from drinking the Blood of Mannoroth. Garrosh helps influence his father, Grommash Hellscream to unite the clans under the banner of the Iron Horde in order to get his vengeance. Uninterested in his goals and no longer needing his help, Garrosh kills Kairozdormu shortly after arriving on Draenor. He meets with all the leaders of the orc clans of Draenor, including his own father Grom Hellscream.
Using his knowledge of the future and his expertise with weapon and forging technology, Garrosh gives the clans the ability to create new, advanced armor and weapons, and reveals to them Gul'dan and the Shadow Council's plot to enslave the orcs. On the night of Gul'dan's attempt to have the orcs drink the blood of Mannoroth, Grom publicly rejects the blood, prompting Mannoroth to arrive in person and prepare to destroy him for his insolence.
Using the new weapons that Garrosh gifted them, the orcs subdue the demon lord long enough for Grom to drive Gorehowl into his skull.
With Mannoroth dead, Garrosh unites all the clans under the banner of the Iron Horde , using his lust for vengeance to assist the new and "stronger" Horde in constructing the Dark Portal, permitting him to lead an assault on the present day Horde and Alliance back in Azeroth. Taking up residence in Nagrand, Garrosh commands his clan from the stronghold of Grommashar, until a party led by Yrel or Durotan including the player assaults the fortress and attacks Garrosh.
After a brief fight, Garrosh gains the upper hand and prepares to finish off the party before Thrall arrives, challenging him to a Mak'Gora.
Garrosh accepts the challenge, and the two reconvene at the Stones of Prophecy for their final battle. As Garrosh takes the upper hand in the fight he taunts Thrall. Garrosh claims that all he did, he did for the good of the Horde and to follow and clean up Thrall's actions, but Thrall rejects the notion, claiming that he chose his own destiny.
Thrall once again and calls on the power of the elements to defeat Garrosh. Thrall traps Garrosh in a hand of stone and uses a strike of lightning to end the former Warchief, leaving Garrosh's crushed body and Gorehowl behind at the site of the battle. Garrosh left a strong legacy of death, horror and fear.
Among members of the Horde, he is remembered in the Horde as a madman who, by his hubris and hatred, nearly destroyed their nation. The Alliance will never forgive Garrosh for his destruction of Theramore and the hundreds that were murdered with the dropping of the mana bomb.
In Pandaria, a nation only just re-emerging onto the world stage, Garrosh will be known forevermore as the one who released the Sha of Pride and corrupted a large portion of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms as a result. Garrosh left an imprint on the world that remains impossible to erase, and has since become a subject of controversial debate over his complex dualistic personality and achievements. Like despite his warmongering, his insistence on warrior honor to the point of executing Overlord Krom'gar for cruelly harming an innocent night elf town.
Or his later embrace of older darker powers counteracting his previous disdain for "unnatural" necromancy and his hatred of demons. And from his successful command in Northrend to defeat the Lich King to his unjust attacks against Theramore, and Pandaria as well as creating the Iron Horde in an alternate timeline.
The lasting effects of his final actions will reverberate through time with lasting animosity between the Alliance and Horde. Garrosh had a strong bond with his father. When Garrosh was infected with a serious disease, Grom was forced reluctantly to quarantine his son, though he stayed in regular contact with him via letters.
The last he heard of his father, was that he had drank the blood of Mannoroth and had joined the Horde. When he learned about Grom's actions from Geyah, he went into a deep depression and denounced his father.
Upon learning of his father's heroic actions, Garrosh gained pride in his heritage and became determined to honor his legacy which has actually hurt him more than helped him , as shown when Thrall called him a hothead, and when Taran Zhu mocked him over the fact that Grom had died dabbling in powers similar to the Sha.
Garrosh eventually developed a friendship with his father when he traveled back in time to Draenor, though he purposely hid their kinship and his redemption.
It is heavily implied that Grom was saddened and angered at his death. When Garrosh met Thrall, Thrall mentored him and increasingly trusted him, hoping to try to persuade him to abandon his hardliner warmongering attitude, appointing him as advisor, and later head of the Horde offensive against the Scourge. He later appointed Garrosh as Warchief of the Horde, as he himself needed to step down, and was confident Garrosh could make the correct decisions.
Their relationship took a serious downturn in Tides of War , when Garrosh obliterated Theramore, sending Jaina temporarily insane, and wrecking his friendship with Thrall. Thrall denounced the act as cowardly, and soon learned of his actions in Pandaria. Thrall became disgusted with how low Garrosh had brought the Horde, and increasingly rallied the Horde against him. In Orgrimmar, Thrall tried to reason with Garrosh one last time, but Garrosh just mocked his willingness to use diplomacy.
Thrall then said making Garrosh warchief had been a mistake he needed to correct, but was simply knocked out. After the adventurers defeated Garrosh, Thrall attempted to kill him, but Varian halted it.
Knowing that the Alliance would kill him on the spot, Thrall angrily replied that he wouldn't let the Alliance execute him, and it very likely could have enabled Garrosh to escape had it escalated. After escaping, Garrosh ruled again on Draenor, and Thrall decided to settle it personally in a Mak'Gora.
During the battle, Garrosh mocked Thrall with his weak physical strength, but Thrall countered that with the elements. As the winds wailed, Garrosh shouted out that Thrall had made him what he had become, but Thrall told him that he had chosen his own fate and killed him with a lightning bolt.
Thrall afterwards refused to speak, presumably out of respect, or perhaps out of guilt that Garrosh had been correct in the fact that had they not met, Garrosh's crimes never would have occurred. Garrosh and Vol'jin initially had a good relationship upon his arrival, but the two very quickly inspired each other's ire as Vol'jin believed that Garrosh was reckless, a warmongerer and someone who would lead the Horde to ruin.
Garrosh on the other hand, saw Vol'jin's peaceful intents as mockeries to the Horde, and banned him from Orgrimmar. Vol'jin came to blows with him when he annihilated Theramore, and increasingly hated the Warchief's recklessness, and began to use his influence to keep Garrosh in check as Thrall had appointed him to, as implied in one of their conversations. By the Pandaria campaign, Garrosh and Vol'jin were at each others throats and Vol'jin saw the battle in Pandaria as a senseless waste of lives and time.
This was the last straw for Garrosh, and ordered Vol'jin assassinated. Vol'jin, who survived thanks to the adventurers, faked his death in order to rally more support. When it became known that Vol'jin survived and Thrall was in league, Garrosh ordered their execution and Vol'jin declared open rebellion. When Garrosh was defeated and Vol'jin was appointed Warchief, Garrosh showed disgust.
It is unknown what the reaction Vol'jin had when he learned of Garrosh's death. High Overlord Saurfang says: We are surrounded Our enemies press in from all sides, young Hellscream. The Scourge descends like locusts from the north. The Alliance holds the only secure shipping lane in this region and even that is at risk of being lost to those dreaded mists. Our only viable port for resupply is held by the Forsaken on the other side of this blasted continent! Anything our zeppelins cannot haul must be brought in by ship and travel the length of Northrend to reach us.
Garrosh Hellscream grunts. Garrosh Hellscream says: Shipping lanes You bore me to death! We need nothing more than the warrior spirit of the Horde, Saurfang! Now that we are firmly entrenched in this frozen wasteland , nothing shall stop us!
High Overlord Saurfang says: Siege engines, ammunition, heavy armor How do you propose to shatter the walls of Icecrown without those? Garrosh Hellscream says: Propose? I will show you what I propose! Garrosh crushes the figures and flag indicating Valiance Keep on the map.
Garrosh Hellscream says: There Now we now have a shipping lane. And just for good measure Garrosh crushes the figures and flag indicating Valgarde and Westguard Keep. High Overlord Saurfang says: So the prodigal son has spoken! Your father 's blood runs strong in you, Hellscream. Impatient as always Impatient and reckless.
You rush headlong into all-out war without a thought of the consequences. Garrosh Hellscream says: Do not speak to me of consequences, old one. High Overlord Saurfang says: I drank of the same blood your father did, Garrosh. Mannoroth 's cursed venom pumped through my veins as well. I drove my weapons into the bodies and minds of my enemies. And while Grom died a glorious death - freeing us all from the blood curse - he could not wipe away the terrible memory of our past.
His act could not erase the horrors we committed. High Overlord Saurfang says: The winter after the curse was lifted, hundreds of veteran orcs like me were lost to despair. Our minds were finally free, yes Free to relive all of the unthinkable acts that we had performed under the Legion 's influence.
High Overlord Saurfang nods. High Overlord Saurfang says: I think it was the sounds of the draenei children that unnerved most of them You never forget Have you ever been to Jaggedswine Farm? When the swine are of age for the slaughter It's that sound. The sound of the swine being killed It resonates the loudest. Those are hard times for us older veterans.
Garrosh Hellscream says: But surely you cannot think that those children were born into innocence? They would have grown up and taken arms against us! High Overlord Saurfang shakes his head. High Overlord Saurfang says: I am not speaking solely of the children of our enemies High Overlord Saurfang says: I won't let you take us down that dark path again, young Hellscream.
I'll kill you myself before that day comes Garrosh Hellscream says: How have you managed to survive for so long, Saurfang? Not fallen victim to your own memories? High Overlord Saurfang says: I don't eat pork High Overlord Saurfang spits. Clear the way to the entrance! Thrall, Garrosh and their escort appear from inside the Sunreaver Pavilion and walk along the path following the Ring of Champions.
Here, they stop between the Ironforge and Gnomeregan banners and observe. Thrall says: Garrosh, I expect you to control yourself here. I do not want a repeat of the Violet Citadel.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Pah! That was a show of strength, worthy of a leader. I only regret I did not kill that human before the mage interfered. Thrall says: We are guests here, Garrosh, and you will conduct yourself honorably. Garrosh Hellscream says: What honor is there in thrashing about with blunted sticks?
This is a waste of time. The group proceeds to the western entrance of the Crusaders' Coliseum , where Highlord Tirion Fordring awaits. Overlord Hellscream. Thrall says: Thank you for the invitation, Lord Fordring. We look forward to observing these games. Garrosh Hellscream says: Speak for yourself, Thrall. Highlord Tirion Fordring says: I hope you'll see the merits of these events in time, Garrosh. We cannot win against the Scourge if we continue to war against one another.
Thrall says: Wise words. Garrosh Hellscream says: Words of a fool, you mean. The Horde will destroy the undead without your aid, human, or that of the pompous king. Thrall immediately turns to face Garrosh and rebukes him directly. Thrall says: Garrosh, enough! Highlord Tirion Fordring says: Under my roof, gentlemen, I trust you will behave. Thrall turns back to Tirion. Thrall says: Of course, Tirion. I apologize for his outburst. It will not be repeated.
Garrosh Hellscream says: Bah. Highlord Tirion Fordring says: If you will follow me, then. The group then walks in to the coliseum proper and disappears inside. Introduction to Faction Champions , if playing as Alliance:. Highlord Tirion Fordring yells: The next battle will be against the Argent Crusade's most powerful knights! Only by defeating them will you be deemed worthy! Garrosh Hellscream yells: The Horde demands justice!
We challenge the Alliance! Allow us to battle in place of your knights, paladin. We will show these dogs what it means to insult the Horde. Highlord Tirion Fordring yells: Very well, I will allow it. Fight with honor!
Garrosh Hellscream yells: Show them no mercy, Horde champions! Garrosh Hellscream yells: That was just a taste of what the future brings! For the Horde! Highlord Tirion Fordring yells: A shallow and tragic victory. We are weaker as a whole from the losses suffered today. Who but the Lich King could benefit from such foolishness? Great warriors have lost their lives, and for what? The true threat looms ahead.
The Lich King awaits us all in death. Thrall says: Let us begin. Garrosh Hellscream says: Are we not going to have more witnesses? Thrall says: I do not wish to make an event of this.
Such frivolities are expensive and merely serve our vanity. But if you wish to have a celebration… Garrosh Hellscream says: No, Warchief, this is enough. Thrall says: You know that these are troubling times for the Horde. Our supplies dwindle. Our lands barren. Our warriors in need of rest.
These are tasks that must be addressed for the good of the Horde. Vol'jin says: Da people be happy with our success in Northrend.
While I led our warriors against the Lich King, you merely took back a few scattered islands. Vol'jin says: Watch yourself, young one. Hold your tongues. There are larger issues at stake. Vol'jin says: Forgive my outburst. Warchief, please, continue. Thrall says: Despite our success in Northrend, we face serious problems that cannot be solved simply by axe and sword.
Earthquakes shake every region. Elementals ravage the countryside. I can hear our land, Azeroth, cry out in pain. Garrosh Hellscream says: These are the reasons you must leave.
Thrall says: Yes, I leave for Nagrand to learn from the elements there. They have suffered and seen many of the same symptoms. Vol'jin says: How long you gonna be gone? Thrall says: It may take time to learn what I must. I trust I will not be gone too long, but it could be weeks- even months. You have the strength and courage that our people need to survive in these troubling times.
Garrosh Hellscream says: I am honored, Warchief. But I feel unprepared for the life of a ruler. Thrall says: You will not be alone. They will help guide you. Thrall says: And though I am leaving soon, I can also instruct you. Da people be scared. Garrosh Hellscream says: But even we are not sure of all that is happening. Should we capture these cultists and force their silence? But that may anger the rest of the people… Still, we cannot allow the cult to spread fear and lies… Eitrigg says: Now you are thinking like a ruler, Garrosh.
You must look at all sides of a problem. Consult with your advisors and act with confidence. Thrall says: They will help you Garrosh. And I will help you. I will find the answers that we need to assuage the fears of the people and soothe the elements. Garrosh Hellscream says: I will not fail you, Warchief. I will lead as well as I can, and I will consult with the advisors you suggest. I know what a tremendous honor you do me, and I will strive to be worthy of it.
Thrall says: Then it is done. Thrall says: Let everything you do be done for the Horde. Vol'jin says: For da Horde! Eitrigg says: For the Horde! Garrosh Hellscream says: For the Horde! Garrosh's image appears. Image of Garrosh says: Don't talk back to me, troll. You know who was left in charge here. Haven't you stopped to ask yourself why Thrall chose me instead of you? Vol'jin's image appears.
Image of Vol'jin says: Dere be no question why, Garrosh. He gave ya tha title because ya be Grom's Son and because tha people be wantin' a war hero. Image of Vol'jin says: To which I tink ya be even more like ya father den he thought, even without ya havin' da demon blood. Or tries to fight against the Lightbound.
Or maybe he returns to Outland and retires in Nagrand. Maybe that short was his full role for Shadowlands — just a glimpse of an eternity of suffering in Revendreth, and players leave him there. A battery of anima for the realm. What do you think the fate of Garrosh Hellscream will be? What do you think it should be? Should he atone for what he did and move on to another realm of the Shadowlands? Or does he deserve to be flung into the Maw? Blizzard Watch is a safe space for all readers.

But I suppose leaving Garrosh to his own devices could have caused trouble. While it appears he will in fact take up the title, he is not leader of the Horde yet, therefore, I don't think the infobox at the bottom of the page should say he is, especially since it doesn't say he is in his infobox.
My understanding is that those boxes are used to show positions they've held both past and present, not future. Based on some of the other stuff, it looks like he may take over whenever Thrall gets captured by the Alliance Goblin starting zone stuff , and since that hasn't happened yet, I don't think we can give him the title. Same with Thrall's page as it lists Garrosh as the "succeeded by". Just my opinion. Vund talk , December 17, UTC. My friend's friend, who works for Blizzard told him this and he told me Apparently Blizzard changed or edited it because Orgrimmar does get destroyed If Garrosh really does become the leader of the Horde in Cataclysm, I hope it means Thrall and Varian shake hands, sign a cease fire and proceed to kill him.
I think it would make a neat raid. Tanooki talk , March 7, UTC. At Toy Fair, a new action figure of Garrosh was unveiled. It was revealed along with a few other new figures, including a goblin, a worgen, and Thrall stepping on a dragon's skull in a victory pose. Anyway, the new design is light-brown skinned Mag'har with black tattoos on his chest, back, and arms, and what appears to be a black tattoo on his lower jaw just like Grom. He's also weilding Gorehowl and is wearing a pit lord 's skull and tusks as armor, bound together by rope and spiked chains.
This is a quick question, but does Garrosh know that his father's axe is out there? It would seem like he does not, but I belive that Blizzard should start a quest chain perhaps for players to go into Karazhan and obtain Gorehowl for Garrosh. Please leave comments on whether he know of it or your oppions on Garrosh obtaining his father's war axe.
I was looking at Garrosh's new model in the Cata beta, and his eyes have changed from brown to fiery red. It doesn't seem like the Mag'har orcs, while still brown, are totally unaffected by it, during one of the quest he gives while he is still in Outlands, Saurfang the Younger expirences blood curse symptoms, rage, fiery eyes and bloodlust.
What you guys think? Gorlack talk , July 4, UTC. Is Garrosh like a shade of red in the comics and was that a mistake by the artist or am I mistaken. Do you think Garrosh will try to invade Theramoore? Why does Garrosh new model look like a monster?
I liked his old model. Is Blizz intentionally making him look like a monster? I keep hearing words of Garrosh getting a personality change in cata, not so much from going a hard ass to somone picking flowers, him jsut being a lot less thick skulled of sorts, anyone able to confirm this or is he staying the same? We know Garrosh is the new Warchief, but I don't think it should be listed as his "present position" yet.
It hasn't happened "in-universe" Beta doesn't count, as what's going on in Beta technically hasn't happened in the Warcraft universe yet. It looks a little odd that in the text, it states things like "Garrosh will become Warchief of the Horde" yet his info boxes show him as the current Warchief. My point is, in the current Warcraft Universe in other words, patch 3. Same with Thrall, we can't say he was Warchief, then Garrosh, then him again because that hasn't happened yet.
Until it happens in Patch 3. I know the boxes on Thrall's page at least have the Cataclysm flag, but, as I said a few posts up a few months ago, it was always my impression that those boxes only reflected past and current events, not future. Vund talk , July 13, UTC. You've got it written down that the shoulderpads that Garrosh's new model sports are made from the skull of Mannoroth.
But isn't it already stated that Mannoroth's skull is mounted behind Garrosh's throne, in the new fortress at the center of Orgrimmar? It seems like for the last 24 hours Garrosh has had his little photo thing on the right changed about 4 times.
