Fate of the Horde

Go to Grommash Hold and learn the fate of the Horde.

• Report to Saurfang
• Meet with Vol'jin
• Learn the Fate of the Horde
• Pledge to Warchief Sylvanas

It is a wonder any of our troops survived that bloodbath on the Broken Shore. If not for Lady Sylvanas...

High Overlord Saurfang has been asking for you at Grommash Hold. He will not say why... but he was insistent that I send you to him.

Dark days are upon us.

You have served the Horde well in the past,.

More will be asked of you... much more.

• Traveling
• The adventurer travels from the docks at the Dranosh'ar Blockade to reach the Hold. Along the way are seen concerned citizens of Orgrimmar, Undercity denizens, Kezan citizens, Sen'jin villagers, Thunder Bluff natives and Silvermoon citizens -- some of them crying.

• Upon reaching Orgrimmar, it is obvious that something is very wrong. The merchants, bankers, soldiers... everyone is watching and waiting outside Grommash Hold. Varok Saurfang is waiting as well, in front of the closed doors to the Hold.

Broken Shore was just the beginning. The Alliance will retaliate. Given the opportunity, they will strike when we are weak.

• Sylvanas - initial gossip

• Cinematic
• Sylvanas proceeds to walk further into the room, the hold doors closing behind her while Vol'jin has a coughing fit. Vol'jin begins to speak.
• Vol'jin: bossemote
• Sylvanas moves closer to the throne.
• Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: bossemote
• Vol'jin: bossemote
• Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: bossemote
• She pauses before continuing.
• Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: bossemote
• Vol'jin: bossemote
• Vol'jin dies. Sylvanas remains standing at her spot as Vol'jin's covered body is later taken away on a stretcher by Baine and Lor'themar. The scene then changes to Vol'jin's lit funeral pyre outside a night-time Orgrimmar, with Sylvanas facing the pyre.
• Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: bossemote
• She then turns to face the people of the Horde.
• Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: bossemote
• They roar their assent and break into shouts of "for Vol'jin" and "for the Horde!"

• Durotar
• Many have gathered at the Dranosh'ar Blockade just outside Orgrimmar to pay their final respects to Vol'jin. The leaders of the Horde and their advisors are presents, guards and unnamed citizens from each Horde capitals are numerous, standing on their feet or on their racial mounts. Many trolls from Sen'jin Village are especially here, and among the crowds several shadow hunters are as well. Sen'jin Spirit Drummers and Ceremonial Watchers are preparing the ceremony. Tyrathan Khort, Vol'jin's human friend, is hidden among the nearby hills to pay his respects, and an Illidari delegation led by Allari the Souleater is also present.

• At the front of Vol'jin's burning funeral pyre stands Sylvanas, with Lor'themar on her left and Baine on her right, and Gallywix to her far right. Nathanos Blightcaller and Sylvanas' dark rangers are providing protection.

• Sylvanas - after
• So, the famed from the Broken Shore has returned.

• These are dire times. I have need of a hero with your skills.

• What say you? Will you help avenge Vol'jin? Will you drive the Legion from our lands?

If the player is a warlock, Sylvanas says the following instead. The gossip option is unchanged.

• So, the famed from the Broken Shore has returned.

• Your deeds have earned you leniency from my bow, but do not press me. As you can imagine, there is much I must address now that I am Warchief.

• We will speak later. You can wait.

• A bug can occur which causes Sylvanas to act is if the player is a warlock, regardless of their actual class, when turning in the quest.
• During the duration of the quest, Orgrimmar is phased twice, before and after Vol'jin's death. During the first phase, various inhabitants are seen gathered in front of Grommash Hold in the Valley of Strength facing High Overlord Saurfang. After his death, majority of NPCs in the other city districts reflect his passing and the naming of the new Warchief, with guards and other inhabitants slightly moving their positions, offering various remarks, crying and some are even absent.
