Grommash "Grom" Hellscream was the chieftain of the Warsong Clan .
Biography One of the orc (The green skinned orcs are one of the most prolific races of Azeroth.) Chieftains of legend. Prior to the creation of the Dark Portal, Grom Hellscream was the uncontested leader of the Warsong (The following is a list of links to pages that might share the same title.) clan, marked by his slim build and black-tattooed lower jaw. Suspicions floated away the previous chieftain's death, giving rise to the notion that Grom usurped the position, rather then gain it though heredity like Durotan. Though he was stubborn, he was the first to give heed to the prospect of war when Ner'zhul (The Elder Shaman Ner'zhul was the Warchief of Draenor, the clans that remained uncaptured after the Dark Portal was destroyed in Azeroth.) warned the other clans of a "new old enemy", the Draenei. While his clan was spared the defeats of the Second Great War (The Second War was a conflict between the Alliance of Lordaeron and the Old Horde, engulfing all the lands of the Eastern Kingdoms, and ending with the victory for the Alliance.), he was used with effectiveness by Ner'zhul (The Elder Shaman Ner'zhul was the Warchief of Draenor, the clans that remained uncaptured after the Dark Portal was destroyed in Azeroth.) in the aftermath of the second war. His forces combined with that of the Bleeding Hollow (Past leader: Kilrogg Deadeye
Current leaders: Jorin Deadeye (Mag'har), Grillok "Darkeye", Warlord Morhk (Fel Horde)
Clan Colors: Green (Later Orange)
The Bleeding Hollow Clan was one of the most legendary of the clans in the Second War and were able to evade capture by Alliance forces.) clan led by Kilrogg Deadeye (Kilrogg Deadeye was a legendary Orc warrior and Chieftain of the powerful Bleeding Hollow Clan.) were used in strategic hit and run raids designed to retrieve some of Azeroth (The following is a list of links to pages that might share the same title.)'s most powerful magical artifacts.
Grom Hellscream is playable in missions of Warcraft II (The following is a list of links to pages that might share the same title.): Beyond the Dark Portal. His clan is also clearly evident throughout the human campaigns. His missions in the Warcraft II expansion include destroying an order of Death Knights (Death Knight is the name of two distinct orders of powerful necromancers.) loyal to Mogor (The treacherous Ogre Lord of the Laughing Skull Clan, Mogor remained in Draenor during both of the crossings.) the Ogre-Mage. Grom is one of a few heroes of the Orcish Horde that makes a reappearance in both the ill-fated Warcraft Adventures (Blizzard began production on Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans soon after Warcraft II was complete, though they kept news of its existence from the public for quite a while.) game and the Lord of the Clans (For the computer game that was cancelled by Blizzard before release, see Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans.) novel which both roughly lay out the same story. Grom also makes a few appearances in the short story Unbroken (A short story by Micky Neilson featured on the official site about how Vindicator Nobundo survived the fall of Shattrath City and learned the ways of the shaman to become Farseer Nobundo.), by Micky Neilson, like during the sacking of Shattrath City (Darnassus • Ironforge • Stormwind City The Exodar
Shattrath City Dalaran
Orgrimmar • Thunder Bluff • Undercity Silvermoon City
Shattrath City is a major hub in Outland situated in the northwestern portion of Terokkar Forest.) by the Orcish Horde (The history of the Horde spans several decades of an organizationHPG 4 that has taken many forms.).
Revitalization of the Horde With the destruction of their only passage home and the successful vanquishing of the orcish strike forces, Grom and the Warsong clan were forced into hiding in the wilds of Lordaeron (The following is a list of links to pages that might share the same title.). They eked out an existence on the edge of human civilization for nearly 15 years. All of this time, Grom was forced to fight the demonic curse that had left him weakened and listless. Where other orcs gave into this malaise, Grom fought it to the end of his days. As the number of free orcs was diminished by conflict and old age, their situation looked more and more hopeless. The young and weak were unable to thrive in this harsh environment and the day of reckoning looked to be closing in on the Warsong clan.
Then Grom had a young Orc named Thrall (Thrall, son of Durotan, is the Warchief of the restored shamanistic Horde, and ruler of the red land of Durotar in Kalimdor.) seek him out. Inspired by Thrall's courage, strength and mercy, he accepted the young outcast and taught Thrall more of the ways of the orc nations. When the humans searching for Thrall got too close, Thrall left his side. He was given Grom's necklace as a symbol of the trust placed in Thrall by Grom. The Warsong clan led by Grom was reunited with Orgrim Doomhammer (Orgrim Doomhammer, also known as the Backstabber, was the Warchief of the Horde during the end of the First War and the entirety of the Second War.) and Thrall's lost clan, the Frostwolves (The Frostwolf Clan (originally written as Frost Wolf) was one of the original orc clans from the planet of Draenor.). Battling against the Human internment camps (Following the conclusion of the Second War, the surviving orcs were rounded up and imprisoned in internment camps, the majority of which were under the watch of Aedelas Blackmoore, headquartered at Durnholde Keep.) surrounding the stronghold of Durnholde (Durnholde Keep is a ruined stronghold located east of the town of Tarren Mill in the Hillsbrad Foothills.), the two clans set about freeing and reinvigorating the orcish nations.
While the orcish horde was looking for land to settle on in Lordaeron, they were instructed by the new Warchief Thrall to journey across the seas to the strange new continent of Kalimdor (In the World of Warcraft on the world of Azeroth, there are three main continents.).
Invasion of Kalimdor When Grom began to again feel the twinge of the demonic curse, he proved unable to resist the sweet nectar it promised him. After attacking a human settlement at Stonetalon Mountain, disobeying direct orders from Thrall, he was given what was presumed to be an easy, out of the way mission to clear land and gather lumber for the new Horde's settlement. However, the night elves (The night elves, or kaldorei, meaning "Children of the Stars" in their native tongue of Darnassian, have a long and fascinating history.) were angered when Grom's orcs began to cut down the trees in Ashenvale Forest and attacked without explanation. He received help from the goblin (Goblins are small, green (or. |
