Orcs ("Warcraft") and a brief history of their people

The universe of "Warcraft" has millions of fans. The story, which began in 1994 with the game "Warcraft: Orcs and People", unexpectedly quickly gained popularity and became a hit, which was played on every computer. And then on May 25, 2016 the screens of the eponymous film came out. Unfortunately, it shows only a section of the life of the orcs. And where did it all begin?

Draenor

Originally orcish tribes lived peacefully and rarely thought about wars. Their story begins in the world of Draenor, where their ancestors existed in prosperity and grandeur before the invasion of the Burning Legion. The demons managed to trick the orcs into believing that the people of the draenei living side by side were enemies, and they promised to help the forces necessary for conquest.

To do this, they had to drink the blood of one of the leaders of the Legion - Mannoroth. After that, the orcs acquired a look familiar to all - green skin and burning eyes. The only ones who refused to participate in the ritual were orcs from the tribe of the Northern Wolves.

Orcs ("Warcraft") completely destroyed the draenei, using the received strength, and immediately after that the Legion disappeared. Those who remained without a goal of existence, but full of thirst for blood, the tribes began to bicker with each other.

Invasion of Azeroth

After some time, a certain essence penetrated into the mind of the Horde sorcerers. The magician of Azeroth, named Mediv, contacted the Horde and offered to open a portal to new lands that could be conquered. The deal was concluded, and the orcs poured into the new world. "Warcraft" (the first part) narrates just about these events.

As a result of the invasion, one of the largest human cities, Stormmgard, was destroyed. During the war, the orcs learned necromancy and with new forces continued to press the Alliance of people, elves and gnomes north. However, due to internal internal disassembly, the Horde was defeated, and the portal was destroyed. The remaining orcs were placed in camps.

Thrall

Seven years after the events described, the son of one of the leaders named Thrall managed to escape from slavery and began to unite the scattered tribes. After learning about the past and how the demons influenced the culture of the orcs, he decided to return to the origins and began to study shamanism. So begins the third story of the universe, "Warcraft" (game). Orcs, seeking to free themselves from the slavery of the people and the power of the Burning Legion, are starting a new war.

In its course, the orcs are joined by trolls and tauren. Arriving on the continent of Kalimdor, Thrall makes an alliance with people who seek the prophet, and his right hand - Grom Hellscream - during the deforestation collides with the elves and for the sake of victory drinks from a lake poisoned with the blood of the same Mannoroth.

After that, people and orcs fight together against demons, and Thrall heals Thunder. As a result, he sacrifices his life to kill Mannoroth. Orcs ("Vrakraft" in detail about this narrates) are released from the power of demons. Teaming with humans and elves, Thrall stops the invasion of demons into the world of Azeroth.

New time

After the war was over, the orcs took possession of some lands in Kalimdor and began to live independently of other races. The established kingdom was called Durotar. The capital city was Orgrimmar. However, the orcs' race did not end there.

Not all people were of the opinion that an alliance with the Horde is the right idea. Admiral Daelin Proudmoore invaded Durotar, deciding to commit genocide. However, his daughter Jaina, with whom Thrall fought together against the legion, came to the aid of his allies, and the invader troops were defeated.

Life

Orcs ("Warcraft") of the new world have turned out to be an ambiguous people. Despite the fact that Thrall tried to restore faith in his ancestors, to instill shamanism and nobility, many clans continue to remain paramilitary units. Young orcs early reach physical maturity, so training in combat and living in Spartan conditions is a distinctive feature of the people.

Accordingly, the highest benefactor for any orc is honor. At the same time, hospitality is the most important feature that this people value. Due to this quality, tauren could easily join the Oroch culture after help during the war.

An interesting feature in the "medieval" fantasy is that the race of orcs completely lacks sexual discrimination. Women are free to choose any profession and have equal rights with men in political activities. This also leads to certain obligations. For example, in the event of war, female individuals are also required to start up. They are such orcs. "Warcraft" is a harsh world in which everyone survives as best he can.

Film

If you want to learn more about the life of this people, the games of the series and books on the "Warcraft" universe are best suited. But the recently released film received a lot of conflicting reviews. And judging by them, the orcs from the movie "Warcraft" faintly match their prototypes, and their lives and foundations are too superficial, so that a person can form an unequivocal opinion about this race. Therefore, if you want to become closely acquainted with the loot of "Warcraft", bravely grasp the game. It will help you answer the most tricky questions about orcs.
