“Orgrimmar was founded in the valleys and caverns of northern Durotar as the new home of the orcish race and the capital of the Horde.”
Orgrimmar ['ɔɹgɹɪmɑɹ] is the capital city of the orcs, and the Horde as a whole. Nestled into a system of valleys on the northern edge of Durotar, the imposing warrior city is the seat of the Warchief Thrall that governs the entire faction. It is the primary hub for player characters of the Horde and, as with all capital cities, has banks, class and profession trainers, and auction houses. The equivalent hub for the Alliance is Stormwind City.
History
After the Third War
This section concerns content related to Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos or its expansion The Frozen Throne.
Orgrimmar has been the central hub of the orc community since the end of the Third War. The city was founded by Thrall and named after his friend and mentor, the former Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer. It is a fortified complex guarded by stout walls, massive gates, and tall towers. The mountainous ranges of northern Durotar form a natural barrier to the rear of the fortress, and parts of the complex are carved into the mountain itself.
Thrall led the orcs to the continent of Kalimdor, where they founded a new homeland with the help of their tauren brethren. Naming their new land Durotar after Thrall's murdered father, the orcs settled down to rebuild their once-glorious society. The demonic curse on their kind ended, the Horde changed from a bloodthirsty, warlike juggernaut into more of a loose coalition, dedicated to survival and prosperity rather than conquest. Aided by the noble tauren and the cunning trolls of the Darkspear tribe, Thrall and his orcs looked forward to a new era of peace in their own land.
From there, they began the creation of the great warrior city, Orgrimmar. Named after the former Warchief, Orgrim Doomhammer, the new city was constructed in a short amount of time, with the aid of goblins, tauren, trolls, and the Mok'Nathal Rexxar. Despite having some problems with the centaur, harpies, enraged thunder lizards, kobolds, evil orcish warlocks and quilboar, Orgrimmar prospered in the end and became home to the orcs and Darkspear Trolls.
Although Rexxar decided not to go back to Orgrimmar right after the death of Daelin Proudmoore, but instead chose to wander again, he returned to the city when he brought the injured fisherman Byrok to the city.
World of Warcraft
This section concerns content related to the original World of Warcraft.
Named in honor of the legendary Orgrim Doomhammer, Orgrimmar was founded as the capital city of the orcs' new homeland. Built within a huge, winding canyon in the harsh land of Durotar, Orgrimmar stands as one of the mightiest warrior cities in the world. Behind Orgrimmar's immense walls, elderly shaman pass their knowledge on to the Horde's newest generation of leaders, while warriors spar in the gladiatorial arena, honing their skills in preparation for the trials that await them in this dangerous land.
Today, Orgrimmar lies at the base of a mountain between Durotar and Azshara. A warrior city indeed, it is home to countless amounts of orcs, trolls, tauren, and an increasing amount of Forsaken are now joining the city, as well, the Goblins of the Durotar Labor Union who have more recently been accepted into the Horde.
Geography
Orgrimmar is periodically wracked by the fierce "razor-winds", powerful enough to tear off the roofs of improperly constructed buildings.
