The battle of the Lost Isles was an event that led the Bilgewater Cartel to join the New Horde. These events are chronicled in the goblin starting experience.
Prelude
The goblins of Kezan, having recently created an intelligence-boosting beverage called 
[Kaja'Cola], were going about their daily lives. Suddenly the dragon Deathwing appeared over Bilgewater Port and claimed that the Hour of Twilight was drawing close.[1] Deathwing launched a molten projectile into Kezan's volcanic Mount Kajaro, then left as quickly as he'd arrived.[2] Though the goblins weren't too concerned at first, it became clear before long that Mount Kajaro was going to erupt. Being goblins, many naturally tried to cash in on the ensuing disaster. Trade Prince Jastor Gallywix of the Bilgewater Cartel told the CEO of the Kajaro Trading Company that if they brought him a bazillion macaroons, he'd make sure they had a spot on his yacht to escape the island.[3] As soon as they brought Gallywix the money, he changed the deal's terms: He declared that the CEO and every other goblin on the yacht were now his slaves. The group set sail for Azshara,[4] where Gallywix planned to establish a new trade empire of his own.[5]
Arrival on the Lost Isles
During the trip, Gallywix and his goblins were discovered by Alliance ships attempting to capture the orcish Warchief, Thrall. The humans then fired at Gallywix's Yacht to prevent any witnesses[4] and they crashed onto the Lost Isles, where they used the remnants of their vessel to build a small base camp.[6]
Cooperation with the Horde
Eventually, the goblins discovered an orcish journal speaking of their base camp and how there were orc survivors and they looked to them for help.[7] The goblins then sent a representative to ask for help from the orcs who agreed to help if the relationship was mutual.[8] The adventurer had slain all the plants in the orc's way, and impressed with the goblins' technology the leader of the orcs, Aggra, had agreed to assist the goblins to find their way off the isles.[9] Much later it was discovered the humans too had found their way onto the island eventually they defeated the Alliance of the smaller isle and saved the "precious cargo", Thrall.[10][11]
The pygmy threat
The goblins later decided to go to the larger of the two isles and deployed a Town-In-A-Box so they could have a location to rest themselves.[12] The goblins were eventually met with naga[13][14] and pygmies troubles but were able to fight them back.[15][16] Eventually, the goblins looked to slay the pygmies' turtle "god", Volcanoth which turns out to make the entire island begin to erupt.[17]
Defeat of the Trade Prince
The goblins met up with the orcs once more to beat back the Alliance for good; and being impressed with the goblins' cunning and strength, the orcs agreed to take the fight too against Trade Prince Gallywix who enslaved the majority of the members of the Bilgewater Cartel through mind control of some type.[18] When the Gallywix was finally beaten, he was told by Thrall that he could live if the Bilgewater Cartel became a part of the Horde.[19] Gallywix bitterly accepted and the goblins and orcs parted ways, with Thrall going to the Maelstrom to heal the world and the goblins going to live in their new home Orgrimmar, capital of the orcs.[20]
