The Bloodhoof tribe of the Tauren (Tauren, or Shu'Halo in their native tongue of Taurahe, are huge nomadic creatures who live on the grassy, open plains of Mulgore in central Kalimdor.) reside in the grasslands of Mulgore ( Goblin (540) Dwarf (450) Orc (180) Harpy (180)
Red Cloud Mesa (650)Bael'dun Digsite (450)Venture Company Mine (300)
The green, verdant plains of Mulgore are home to the noble tauren.). They are members of the Horde (The Horde is one of the two major political factions of the mortal races in Azeroth, its counterpart being the Alliance.) and are led by Cairne Bloodhoof (Cairne Bloodhoof is a level ?? faction leader located on the High Rise in the tauren city of Thunder Bluff.) who presides over the Tauren capital of Thunder Bluff (Darnassus • Ironforge • Stormwind City The Exodar

Orgrimmar • Thunder Bluff • Undercity Silvermoon City
Orc (300) Forsaken (240) Troll (180)
Thunder Bluff is the Tauren capital city located in the northern part of the region of Mulgore on the continent of Kalimdor.). Cairne's son Baine Bloodhoof (Baine Bloodhoof is a level 10 quest giver located in the Bloodhoof Village in the tauren starting zone of Mulgore.) is the chief of operations in Bloodhoof Village (Named after the the chieftain of the Tauren, Bloodhoof Village is notable in that it was the first permanent settlement to be built by the Tauren on flat, open ground rather than atop a mesa.) in central Mulgore. The Tauren can be found in all areas of the world, trying to restore the balance of the world which was lost during the occupation of the Burning Legion (The Burning Legion (aka demon hordeDotD 161) is a massive army of demons, infernals, and corrupted races who seek to destroy any trace of order in the Universe.). The Tauren owe allegiance to Warchief Thrall (Thrall, son of Durotan, is the Warchief of the restored shamanistic Horde, and ruler of the red land of Durotar in Kalimdor.) and the Horde due to their assistance to rid Mulgore of the marauding Centaurs (The centaur are a half-humanoid, half-horse, warlike tribal race.), thus giving the Tauren a place to call home.
Lore The orcs (The green skinned orcs are one of the most prolific races of Azeroth.) first met up with the Bloodhoof tribe when then arrived on Kalimdor (In the World of Warcraft on the world of Azeroth, there are three main continents.). What follows is the story of that first meeting.
Shortly before the Horde's arrival on Kalimdor, their ships were caught in a storm. While most of Thrall's soldiers made it to land, their ships were destroyed and they did not all make landfall at the same point. Thus Thrall set out with the soldiers who'd been on board his ship to search for the rest of his forces. After discovering signs of a recent battle during their exploration of the new land, they found a single bull-like humanoid (which they would later know was called a "tauren") being attacked by a group of "horse men" (which they would later be told were known as "centaurs"). Thrall attacked the centaurs but was too late to save the tauren's life. It wasn't long before they stumbled on a similar sight: two more injured tauren being overwhelmed by a centaur band. Again, Thrall and his orcs and trolls got involved on behalf of the tauren, and again were unable to save their lives despite killing the centaurs.
After finding some of his lost troops, Thrall's search for the others took him to higher ground, from which he was able to see a large army of centaurs in the canyon below. He noticed they were marching to the north.
Soon after that, Thrall's force was attacked by yet another centaur band. After once again routing the centaurs, Thrall was approached by a trio of tauren led by an aged, yet large and strong, tauren who introduced himself as Cairne. Cairne complimented the "greenskins" on their fighting prowess. Thrall told Cairne his name and that of his people, the orcs. He went on to say that they had come across the sea seeking their destiny. Cairne told Thrall that there was an Oracle (Magus Medivh,[2][3][4] who may also be known as Magna Medivh, was the last Guardian of Tirisfal, an ancient line of protectors bestowed with great powers to do battle with the agents of the Burning Legion.) to the north who might be able to help him, which prompted Thrall to mention the centaur army he had seen marching in that direction. Cairne was alarmed by the news, since it was clear to him that the centaurs were on their way to raid his village. He rushed off immediately along with his contingent. Wanting to learn more of the Oracle and also motivated by a desire to help, Thrall and his soldiers followed Cairne to the village where they successfully repulsed the centaur assault together.
After the battle, Cairne told Thrall of his taurens' plight. The centaurs had driven off all the game in the region and, in order to avoid starving, the tauren would have to travel across the Barrens ( Tauren (3,400) Goblin (4,250) Troll (2,550) Dwarf (850) Gnome (510) Night Elf (170) Human (170)
The Barrens is a large zone in central Kalimdor, controlled by the Horde.) to Mulgore. Cairne worried that they would be overtaken by the swift centaurs before they could get there. Thrall pledged that he would escort the tauren to their destination and help protect their kodo (Kodo are massive beasts with thick leathery skin that ranges in color from sandy brown to black.) beasts from attacks in return for being told the location of the Oracle. Cairne accepted the offer, and they were on their way. It was the beginning of a relationship of mutual respect and cooperation between the two peoples that continues to this day.
Thrall and his troops cleared the path of any centaurs standing in the way of the caravan while Cairne and his tauren fought off repeated attacks from behind aimed at the vulnerable kodos. When the caravan had almost reached its destination, Thrall saw a huge force of centaur charging at them. The orc Warchief despaired that they wouldn't make it. But Cairne would not allow himself to be defeated when he was so close to his objective, and used his might to start a rockslide that blocked the way of the centaurs.
The two peoples parted as friends, with the orc and troll (Trolls average seven feet in height and two hundred pounds in weight, save for two tribes, the Drakkari and the Zandalari, who tend to be somewhat larger than their kindred.) force going to find the Oracle as well as their brethren (Grom Hellscream (Grommash "Grom" Hellscream was the chieftain of the Warsong Clan, and best friend and chief advisor to Warchief Thrall.) and his. |
