Rulkan (alternate universe)

Rulkan is the ex-wife and former most trusted advisor of and a former member of the. befriended her many years ago, and although they did not speak very often, the two leaders developed "a deep mutual respect" for each other.

After the forming of the Iron Horde, Grommash visited Ner'zhul's clan and made him an offer - to join the Iron Horde or die. Ner'zhul accepted the offer but Grommash asked him to place a worthy offer on the table, an offer that would help in their campaign. Having access to no material of war, Ner'zhul chose to defile his ancestors by calling on the forbidden Void to save his people. While Rulkan understood his reasoning, she was not willing to commit the same act and so she left to Exile's Rise along with others who agreed with her and they became known as the Shadowmoon Exiles.

As they remained mostly at peace, Rulkan would be visited by a liaison of the, after he received a disturbing vision of Karabor being overrun by the Dark Star (which was once the naaru ) in the near future, and sought her guidance and assistance, in an attempt to avert the draenei's fate. Being good friends with him since before the Iron Horde, she allowed an audience with the liaison. She took Velen's friend in a cave underneath their settlement and told him of all that occurred. She then gave a Fragment of Anguish to help Velen and his allies enter Shadowmoon fortress but not before giving a proposition to the commander. Rulkan was willing to follow the Alliance against the Iron Horde, and vowed to fight for them, in exchange for learning more about the commander's people.

She can be seen in Highmaul's Coliseum watching her commander's battles.
