Mission Briefing

Your outpost in the Borderlands is being attacked by the Human armies. Blackhand wants you and the last soldiers in his cadre to defend the site...to the death. Should the War Chief raise enough gold to recruit reinforcements, he will dispatch them as soon as possible...

Background

A large Human force completely surrounds the Borderlands output. However, due to a severe shortage of funds, reinforcements are unable to arrive in time. The base and all it's defenders are wiped out.

Epilogue

Blackhand demands your service to eradicate the human scum from this land. Resources are limited, however, so a contribution to summon forth more soldiers is required. You will then have command over the wolfriding Raiders, and be able to use the dark magiks of the Warlocks to control the powers of the underworld. There are mysterious dungeons to search, temples to desecrate, and the armies of King Llane to crush under your heel. Who will eventually control Azeroth is in your power to decide!

Using a memory editor it is possible to achieve a victory. However, this does not change the outcome of the game as the player is still directed to the epilogue.
