“Lok'tar ogar! Victory or death - it is these words that bind me to the Horde. For they are the most sacred and fundamental of truths to any warrior of the Horde.
I give my flesh and blood freely to the Warchief. I am the instrument of my Warchief's desire. I am a weapon of my Warchief's command.
From this moment until the end of days I live and die - For the Horde!”

— Blood Oath of the Horde

The Horde Army[1] is the collective land-based military force of the various nations within the New Horde, safeguarding the modern faction's interests throughout Azeroth and beyond. Having taken part in numerous campaigns against the Alliance and other threats to the world, they are further supported in their operations by the Horde navy and the Horde air force.

While the major part of the Horde's military power comes from its member states, several organizations exist within the Horde that do not belong to any of them, such as the Horde Expedition or the Vol'jin's Spear. Rather than answering to a racial leader, these coalitions are organized as part of major military campaigns, all under the authority of the Horde Council and the command structure they appoint.

History

The New Horde

Main article: Liberation of the internment camps

Between 15 and 18 ADP, Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer and his second-in-command Thrall, along with Grommash Hellscream and his Warsong clan, launched a campaign to free the orc prisoners from the Alliance internment camps. With each toppled camp, the new Horde grew bigger and stronger, until Orgrim fell in battle and declared that Thrall should carry on as the new warchief. The Horde army eventually assaulted Durnholde Keep, where Thrall personally struck down Aedelas Blackmoore, ending the administration of the internment camps across Lordaeron instantly. In time, the new Horde had little trouble liberating the rest of the smaller, more isolated camps across Lordaeron, but Thrall did not use his numbers to wage war against Lordaeron itself; instead he took his people across the Eastern Kingdoms in search of a place they could call home.[2]

Third War

Main article: Third War

On the onset of the Third War, the New Horde skirmished with the Alliance Forces and freed Grommash Hellscream and his Warsong clan,[3] later secretly infiltrating Southshore during the night to steal its ships so they could sail to Kalimdor.[4]

On the mysterious continent, Warchief Thrall became friends with the High Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof, and upon learning that the tauren were constantly drawn into bloody conflict with the centaurs, he decided that his New Horde would stand and fight as a beacon of hope for races just like the tauren: the misunderstood, the oppressed, and the forgotten. In the Barrens, the Horde forces stood shoulder to shoulder with the tauren in battle, and their combined might crashed down on the centaur warbands like a hammer and scattered them to the wind.[5]

After they had come into conflict with the Human Expedition and the night elves of Ashenvale, Medivh was able to unite the warring factions in to the Great Alliance, in order to defend the World Tree Nordrassil from the Burning Legion's assault.[6]

The Might of Kalimdor assaulting Ahn'Qiraj.

After the Third War, the armistice between the Alliance and the Horde was tenuous at best, and major battles gradually erupted in strategic locations like Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch, and Arathi Basin, bringing the two factions closer to all-out war.[7]

During the Ahn'Qiraj War in 25 ADP, the Might of Kalimdor was a combined Horde-Alliance army raised through an unprecedented agreement between Warchief Thrall and Regent Lord Bolvar Fordragon, as both factions reunited the might of their armies in response to the stirring of the qiraji who were locked behind the Scarab Wall in Silithus.[8] Their forces were placed under the command of the Supreme Commander Varok Saurfang in Cenarion Hold.[9]

As a valley bordering Ashenvale and the Barrens, the Warsong Gulch hosts a constant battle between the Horde and Alliance, with members of every race in Azeroth rushing to lend sword, or spell, to the conflict. As the main Horde force, the Warsong Outriders began to recruit adventurers to shatter the Alliance's Silverwing Sentinels and clear the forests of their resources.[10]

The Burning Crusade

Burning Crusade This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade.

In Year 26 ADP, Kil'jaeden decided to attack the forces of Azeroth, luring them into Outland where the Alliance and Horde armies would strike against both the Burning Legion and the Illidari. Once weakened from the battle, the demonlord planned to destroy them all.[11] The Legion launched several attacks on both worlds, opening portals to several Horde territories across Kalimdor, and in retaliation the defenders of Azeroth pushed through the Dark Portal, beginning the invasion of Draenor.[12]

Since the Horde had no pre-existing fortress to call their own, they built Thrallmar in the north of Hellfire Peninsula, which served as their main base of operations on the broken world.[13] After crushing the Burning Legion's hold on the region, the Horde forces launched an offensive against the Fel Horde, invading the Hellfire Citadel. For many members of the Horde, the assault was personal as the fel orcs were a reminder of the demonic corruption that had plagued the Old Horde. They defeated Kargath Bladefist and marched into the heart of the citadel, where they ultimately cut down Magtheridon in the belly of the fortress. The Horde's triumph had been grim work, and few soldiers rejoiced in spilling the blood of fel orcs.[14]

When the Horde met Mag'har orcs, uncorrupted by fel, Warchief Thrall dispatched messengers to recruit them.[15] The Forsaken also attempted to recruit the Unyielding to their cause, however, the ghosts decided to only partially help the Horde and fought at their side against the Fel Horde.[16]

At some point, the death knight Ragnok Bloodreaver sought to overthrow Illidan Stormrage and become the new Lord of Outland and, eventually, Azeroth.[17] When Ragnok's armies set out to conquer the Dark Portal, a combined Horde, Alliance, Aldor, Silver Hand, and Broken army defeated them at the Stair of Destiny.[18]

Wrath of the Lich King

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

Main article: Horde Expedition
The Horde and Alliance forces converging on Icecrown Citadel to destroy the Scourge.

Following the Scourge Invasion of Orgrimmar in 27 ADP, Warchief Thrall mobilized the Horde armies and commanded Overlord Garrosh Hellscream to destroy the Scourge. The forces under his control were dubbed the Warsong Offensive, and upon reaching Northrend, it established Warsong Hold in the Borean Tundra.[19] During the course of the Northrend campaign, the Offensive eventually joined forces with the other Horde armies established themselves throughout Northrend, which included the taunka tribes, which high chieftain Roanauk Icemist pledged to the Horde,[20] thereby uniting into the Horde Expedition.[21]

Several conflicts soon began across the icy continent. As the Horde vanguard began to course over the continent of Northrend, its mystics awoke to dizzying visions of the Strand of the Ancients, where they fought against the Alliance for its control.[22] Both factions crossed swords to get the control of Wintergrasp and have a crack at the titanic relics within the Vault of Archavon.[23] In Grizzly Hills, they fought for the control of Venture Bay, which was used by the Venture Company as a harbor and base for mining and clear-cutting operations in the region.[24]

The Horde and Alliance forces were also locked in an epic struggle for the Isle of Conquest, a tiny island rich in resources, and a highly prized base in the war against the Lich King. Both factions deployed devastating weapons to drive each other from this strategic location. Day and night, the ground trembles under lumbering siege vehicles while monstrous airships pummel enemy positions with fiery cannons. The bloody conflict spread to every corner of the island as new heroes arrived to aid their factions.[25]

During the Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate, Grand Apothecary Putress and his followers unleashed the lethal New Plague on the battlefield, killing the living and the undead alike. The Horde forces lost Warlord Dranosh Saurfang and many troops that day.[26] During the Battle for the Undercity, the Horde counterattack was helmed by Warchief Thrall, Sylvanas Windrunner, and Vol'jin, who assaulted the city to kill the nathrezim Varimathras.[27] After the Burning Legion was defeated, King Varian declared war upon the Horde right then and there, but before a catastrophic battle could unfold, Lady Jaina intervened by freezing the combatants solid and teleporting all Alliance forces out of the Undercity.[28]

Following the Lich King Arthas Menethil's defeat at the Frozen Throne, both factions reached a temporary ceasefire in the Alterac Valley after a truce was signed.[29]

Cataclysm

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

Main article: Alliance-Horde war
The Battlescar in the Southern Barrens.

Following the Cataclysm in 28 ADP, Warchief Garrosh Hellscream ordered Sylvanas Windrunner and her Forsaken to invade Gilneas, so the Horde could have a port in southern Lordaeron.[30] With limited resources, and even the refusal of the Frostwolf clan to aid them,[31] the Forsaken and their allies of the Horde managed to wreak havoc across all of Gilneas with the help of Wolfcult, pushing all Alliance forces out of Silverpine Forest[32] and Hillsbrad Foothills.[33]

During the Ashenvale war, the Horde attacked the night elves' strongholds across Ashenvale, but their brutal offensive was short-lived as King Varian Wrynn led his forces, along with King Genn Greymane and the Gilnean worgen, to repel Warchief Garrosh's troops. The combined forces crashed against the Horde lines and halted their advance, and though the Alliance reclaimed some of its holdings in the regions, the forest remained a bitterly contested territory in the following years.[34][35]

As part of the war against Deathwing, the Horde launched a counterattack against the Twilight's Hammer, using Dragonmaw Port as their major base of operations, and targeting the cult's holdings in the Twilight Highlands. The Twin Peaks eventually became a strategic chokepoint crucial to both factions' assaults on the forces of Deathwing.[36]

In the Swamp of Sorrows, the Alliance began an offensive againt the local Horde forces, greatly outnumbering them even after Stonard recieved reinforcments from the Dreadmaul ogres.[37] While the Horde managed to repel the siege of Stonard,[38][39] the Alliance still gained a foothold in the swamps.

In Tanaris, Megs Dreadshredder abducted multiple members of the Dunemaul clan and shipped them off where they're needed most for the Horde.[40]

In Lordaeron, the death knight Koltira Deathweaver was tasked by Sylvanas to take control of Andorhal, confronting the Alliance forces led by Thassarian. Over the course of the Battle for Andorhal, both sides entered a truce to destroy Araj the Summoner and the remaining Scourge,[41] then prepared to face one another.[42] Victory was almost in the Alliance's grasp until the Forsaken started employing the Val'kyr,[43][44] ultimately forcing the Alliance to retreat at Chillwind Camp.[45]

After Lord Hiram Creed's fall, both factions withdrew from Gilneas' mainland for unknown reasons,[46] leaving the only area of activity in the zone along the coastline where the Battle for Gilneas raged on.

Mists of Pandaria

Mists of Pandaria This section concerns content related to Mists of Pandaria.

Main article: Dominance Offensive
General Nazgrim leading the Horde against the Alliance at Serpent's Heart.

During the Alliance-Horde war in 30 ADP, after the Horde discovered that the Alliance had established a small camp within the Scenic Overlook,[47] they began to train the Forest Hozen within the Grookin Hill.[48] Under the command of General Nazgrim, the forest hozen battled the jinyu at the Serpent's Heart, which ended with the awakening of the Sha of Doubt.[49] The wounded Nazgrim and the rest of the Horde party were eventually taken to Binan Village in the Kun-Lai Summit to recover from their wounds.[50] There, they have also managed to recruit the local pandaren of Eastwind Rest into their army.[51]

In time, the sha slowly spread their corruption across the continent, seizing hold of the emotions of the Horde and Alliance forces, amplifying their hatred and driving them toward bloody and unnecessary conflict.[52]

Two months after the rediscovery of Pandaria, Warchief Garrosh Hellscream and the Horde forces arrived in the Krasarang Wilds, where they established Domination Point as part of the Dominance Offensive, in order to counter the Alliance presence at Lion's Landing.[53] The fortress was then placed under the command of Warlord Bloodhilt, who used the unique capabilities of the races that the Warchief accepted into this assault to great effect, even though he didnt trust them.[54] The Darkspear tribe, however, wasn't summoned to this campaign.[55]

During the Lion's Landing scenario, the Horde dispatched a squad of trained soldiers from the Kor'kron to shatter Alliance pride and defenses in one brutal assault. During the Domination Point scenario, the soldiers of Lion's Landing and the 7th Fleet descend upon the nascent base of Domination Point, hoping to nip Warchief Garrosh Hellscream's fortifications in the bud. However, the Horde heroes and their allies were eventually sent to repel the Alliance forces and their commander, allowing the fortification of the fortress to be completed.

After the Thunder King's death, the Darkspear Rebellion began in earnest, while Warchief Garrosh re-organized his orc forces into the True Horde and, with the power of Y'Shaarj, began a genocidal campaign to conquer Azeroth. The True Horde was defeated when the Horde rebels and Alliance forces began the Siege of Orgrimmar, while Vol'jin was declared Warchief of the Horde after Garrosh was defeated.[56]

Warlords of Draenor

Warlords of Draenor This section concerns content related to Warlords of Draenor.

Main article: Vol'jin's Spear

When the Iron Horde Incursion began in 31 ADP, both the Horde and Alliance convened and decided to form a joint coalition, eventually succeeding in pushing the orcs back through the Dark Portal.[57]

After the Assault on the Dark Portal in alternate Draenor, the decision was made to divide the Horde and Alliance members into two parties; they could cover more ground if they went their separate ways. The Horde forces headed south toward Frostfire Ridge, determined to gather enough resources and allies to find and defeat both the Iron Horde and its mastermind, Garrosh Hellscream.[58] At the request of Thrall, the adventurer was placed in charge of the Horde's operations across the orcish world,[59] helping them to establish the Frostwall garrison.[60]

The outposts of Axefall, Beastwatch, Wor'var, Vol'mar, and Vol'jin's Pride were eventually built across several regions, while alliances with the Frostwolf[61] and Laughing Skull[62] clans were made to fight against the Iron Horde and other local threats.

During the war in Draenor, High Warlord Volrath led the Vol'jin's Spear in Ashran, where they founded Warspear as their base of operations. The Horde forces were seeking to stop the Alliance's plans to use a specific, large artifact, which was theorized to have powers rivaling that of titan technology,[63] and would have been used for military applications against the Horde itself.[64]

Legion

Legion This section concerns content related to Legion.

At the beginning of the third invasion of the Burning Legion in 32 ADP, during a joint council of war in Dalaran, the faction leaders agreed to lead the forces of the Horde and Alliance against the Burning Legion.[65] Their combined forces sailed for the Broken Isles, followed by flying gunships carrying Warchief Vol'jin and High King Varian Wrynn, who led the first wave of assault during the Battle for Broken Shore.[66]

During the Legion Invasions, the Horde forces and heroes, along with the Illidari, were dispatched to repel the demonic invaders across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. Various branches of the Horde army later joined the Class Orders to defeat the Legion once and for all. However, tensions between the factions eventually rose, as the Alliance blamed the Horde for Varian's death, which ultimately led King Genn Greymane to attack the Horde forces in Stormheim[67]

Following the Argus Campaign, Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner sought new allies to replenish the Horde's depleted ranks, as well as to bolster their forces to stop their foes from stealing what belongs to their faction.[68] Thanks to the efforts of Baine Bloodhoof and Lor'themar Theron, the Horde recruited both the Highmountain tauren of Thunder Totem[69] and the nightborne of Suramar to their coalition.[70]

After Azeroth had been wounded by Sargeras, a powerful new substance known as Azerite seeped up to the surface, reigniting hostilities between both factions who recognized the crystallized blood's potential to turn the coming battle in their favor.[71] Under the command of Nathanos Blightcaller, the Horde forces fought for control of Seething Shore against Spymaster Mathias Shaw and the Alliance.

Battle for Azeroth

Battle for Azeroth This section concerns content related to Battle for Azeroth.

Main article: Fourth War
Sylvanas Windrunner leading the Horde army against the Alliance during the Battle for Lordaeron.

At [Warchief]] Sylvanas Windrunner's command, the Horde began the War of the Thorns in 33 ADP, with the goal of conquering Teldrassil itself. However, after the Horde conquered Darkshore, the Banshee Queen gave the order for Teldrassil to be burned.[72] This triggered the Fourth War, as the Alliance avenged Teldrassil's destruction by unleashing an all-out siege on Lordaeron Keep, defeating most of the Horde forces stationed there. However, Sylvanas managed to blight the ruins, preventing the Alliance from establishing it as their stronghold in the region.[73]

Following the events within the Eternal Palace, the Horde revolutionaries led by Varok Saurfang officially allied with the Alliance against Sylvanas, choosing "For Azeroth" as their rallying cry.[74] After they conquered Razor Hill,[75] the allied forces made their way before the Gates of Orgrimmar, where Saurfang challenged the warchief to Mak'gora, unwilling to spill more Horde blood.[76] After his death and Sylvanas' escape, the Alliance forces were teleported out of Durotar.

After the armistice was signed, the Alliance abandoned any military holdfasts they had established on Zandalar as a show of good faith,[77] while Horde bases have been abandoned in Kul Tiras as well.[78]

Sometime after the formation of the Horde Council, the armies of the Horde rallied together and defeated the Widow's Bite and Banshee loyalists that were causing unrest within Zandalar.[79]

Exploring Azeroth

Following the war against the Jailer in 36 ADP, the Bronzebeard brothers reported that the skirmishes in Wintergrasp were still going on, both factions fighting over the Vault of Archavon.[23]

The War Within

The War Within This section concerns content related to The War Within.

After the destruction of Dalaran in 42 ADP, Horde forces led by Overlord Geya'rah traveled to Khaz Algar, forming a strike force to defeat Xal'atath.[80] As part of the Algari Offensive, the Horde troops came to help the Arathi when the nerubians of Azj-Kahet launched an all-out assault on Hallowfall,[81] then pulled back their soldiers of the isle after the conflict was over.[82]

Organization

This section is a lore stub.

Leadership

Until the Fourth War, the New Horde was under the command of the Warchief, who stands as the undisputed leader of the faction.[83] All members of the Horde have to swear a blood oath to join the Horde, and were thus obligated to follow the warchief's commands in times of war.[84] The position was ultimately retired following the Battle at the Gates of Orgrimmar, after Sylvanas Windrunner betrayed the Horde, leading to the formation of the Horde Council: a conglomerate of leaders who would represent their people's interests as the ruling body of the faction itself.[85] The army also has its own Horde High Command,[86] with Overlord Krom'gar,[87] Warlord Gar'dul, and Warlord Bloodhilt[88] as its known members.

Membership

Main article: Horde races

The ranks of the Horde Army are filled with troops from every nation, people, and organization that make up the New Horde. The military hierarchy itself follows the same rank structure as that of the orc clans, with scout as the lowest rank and high warlord as the highest.[89] In times of war, the warchief (now the Horde Council) can order all able-bodied citizens of the Horde to enlist and report to conflict zones across Azeroth and beyond, using the Warchief's Command Board to issue these calls.[90] Considering that most races are required by their traditions to be able to fight from an early age, and are naturally gifted with physical strength, most of their civilian population is ready to face combat at any time.[91][92][93] While most fight of their own volition, the Horde is known for enslaving other races, even those whose members are already part of the Horde, to be used as unwilling cannon fodder on the frontlines.[94][95][96]

Barracks provide lodging for Horde troops. Sometimes a place of dissension within the lower ranks, who most often include grunts, headhunters, braves, deathguards, and others.[97]

Because of the long reliance on alchemy and magic, many members of the Horde are seen employing those two arts to either bolster their troops or increase their number. Trolls, goblins, and orcs transform their own brethren into hulking monstrosities who lose some of their intelligence but make up for it with size and physical strength, becoming living siege engines.[98][99][100] Trolls and forsaken are known to use darker magic to rise both their fallen foes and friends into undeath, who are then either willingly or forcibly fighting beside those who brought them back.[101][102][103]

Logistics

Requests for gold and ressources donations are thus regularly made by Horde supply officers[104][105] to support the war effort, particularly for the preparation of munitions,[106][107] armors,[108] weapons,[109] potions,[110] explosives,[111][112] foods,[113][114] gold,[115] and military utilitaries,[116] During the Ahn'Qiraj War, official collectors were sent to the Horde capitals, giving tasks to gather the necessary material needed for the upcoming conflict, including herbs, leather skins, metal bars, and cooked goods.[117]

When members of the Horde lack manpower or expertise in a certain field, they aren't above enslaving those who can fill those gaps and provide Horde troops with the services they require.[118][119]

The Durotar Supply and Logistics maintains supply routes to Horde forces worldwide with supply officers around the various capitals across Azeroth.[120]

Transport ships are huge ships charged with ferrying Horde troops across large bodies of water. Being slow and bulky, they rely upon magical armor to repel enemy fire and recklessly sail straight into a naval engagement to deliver their troops to land.[121] An extensive network of zeppelins crewed by goblins usually transport troops and supplies through the air to all major Horde strongholds,[122] and even though they didn't pledge themselves to the Horde, the Steamwheedle Cartel still provide a vital stream of supplies through their smuggling operations.[123][124]

Technology

See also: Goblin technology

As part of their mutual defense agreement, the races and nations of the Horde stand united, sharing their arms and technologies to safeguard their realms and confront all who threaten their faction. Among them goblins are the most actively involved in the production and development of military technology, whether in the fields of weaponry, artillery, or communication. While sometimes unreliable and dangerous, their inventions make up for it with incredible firepower.[125]

Mag'har orcs of Alternate Draenor have also brought with them their own technological innovations that were created using the schematics of the goblin Blackfuse Company.[126][127]

While other races of the Horde prefer to combine their less advanced technology with either magic or alchemical concoctions, such as the elven and troll golems,[128][129] Forsaken plague tanks[130] and even troll cannons.[131]
