History

Wrath of the Lich King This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich King.

At the time of the war against the Lich King, a fissure into Azjol-Nerub opened near Icemist Village, and Scourge nerubians poured out. The Anub'ar razed Icemist,[1] with the survivors fleeing to the Westwind Refugee Camp.[2] In this dark hour, the taunka were discovered Garrosh Hellscream and his orc forces upon their arrival in Northrend.[3]

After the taunka formally joined the Horde,[4] they prepared to strike back against the Anub'ar in order to take back Icemist and free the High Chieftain from his imprisonment in Icemist. While the Horde attacked the Anub'ar by ground and sky to thin their numbers,[5][6] Banthok set off to the village determined to rescue his father.[7] Upon his arrival, Banthok discovered that his father was imprisoned through the use of a magical key, whose fragments were held by three powerful Anub'ar magi and called his allies with claiming the fragments, which he expertly manipulated into a new key.[8] The pair subsequently freed the High Chieftain, where the trio was set upon by the Under-King Anub'et'kan. After a fierce fight, the Crypt lord was slain, with Banthok having a fragment of his husk taken as a trophy in order to show the Horde forces at Agmar's Hammer, which taunka retreated too.[9]

In the aftermath, his father swore the Blood Oath of the Horde, fully bringing the taunka into the Horde.[10]
