'''Hardened Khorium''' is an alloy bar made from a mixture of [[Khorium Bar|Khorium bars]] and a [[Hardened Adamantite Bar]]. It is most expensive [[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade|Burning Crusade]]-era bar to smelt in the game.

The '''Broken''', also known as '''Krokul''' in [[Draenei (language)|Draenei]],<ref name="unkBroken">http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/unBroken/index.xml</ref> are a mutated and devolved subrace of [[draenei]] who lived in [[Outland]]. They, like most of the [[orcs]], fell prey to the demons' sinister influence and were changed by the corruption. Though they lost some of their former powers, the Broken still present a clear danger to all races through Outland. The largest known faction of Broken in Outland, the [[Ashtongue Deathsworn]], is currently led by [[Akama]]. They are supposedly allied with [[Illidan Stormrage]].

Though the draenei were thought by many to have been completely wiped out by the orcs' genocide, [[Illidan]] and his forces discovered a surviving village in Outland during their flight from [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]]. Their inhabitants, ruled by [[Akama]], swore allegiance to Illidan in return for his liberating them from orcish and demonic oppression.{{Cite|W3X|3}} Having been corrupted by demonic influences, they lost some of their former draenei abilities, and their already Broken forms were further altered, causing them to become the sub-species known as the Broken draenei.

In ''The Burning Crusade'', the term "Broken" is used mainly as a racial name, though sometimes it is used to refer to the [[Ashtongue Deathsworn]].

It is unknown how many Broken draenei are in Outland, though there are several groups not serving Akama. [[Nobundo]] is a notable Broken draenei shaman, though he is not a follower of Akama. A number of Broken draenei serve as laborers in a crystal mine beneath the [[Exodar]], and appear to be loyal to [[Velen]]. It was speculated that this was evidence of prejudice on the part of the uncorrupted draenei, but this could be a case of physical tolerance.

While they are referred to as "Broken", even by themselves, many, including Akama himself, still consider themselves draenei. Some are trying to find a cure to return them to their original forms. The Broken draenei are renowned for being unbeatable spies and assassins, as their warriors can [[shadowmeld]] regardless of the time of day and even while moving. Interestingly, their feet are still cloven.

<blockquote><p>In recent years, Velen, the noble leader of the draenei, was granted a vision....

*[[Loop of Forged Power]]

In it he saw the Broken: formerly healthy draenei who had devolved during the orcs' murderous crusade to wipe out the draenei race. According to Velen's vision, the Broken would rise to power once again and aid their displaced brethren.</p>

*[[Ring of Flowing Life]]
−
<p>Velen's vision was given substance in the form of Nobundo, a one-time draenei [[Paladin|Vindicator]] who had devolved while the orcs decimated his race and tore the planet apart. Like his fellow Broken, Nobundo had lost contact with the Light, and so he ventured far into the deserts of Outland to meditate and pray for guidance.</p>
 
−
<p>After decades of silence, an unfamiliar voice finally answered his prayers. It was not the Light that whispered to him, but the wind. The breeze spoke to him of lost truths, of the might of the elements – of the delicate balance of power embraced by the shaman.</p>
 
−
<p>Nobundo listened eagerly and learned all he could. When he judged the time was right, he departed the desert determined to use this knowledge to help the draenei race. However, most draenei refugees greeted the sight of a Broken with skepticism and outright prejudice. Only one of the healthy draenei did not shun the Broken: the wise and perceptive Velen.</p>
 
−
<p>Velen had heard the philosophy of the shaman before, but Nobundo revealed new truths. The elements were timeless; they stretched across the cosmos to inhabit every world they touched. With the proper training, the draenei might learn to wield this overlooked, seemingly inexhaustible source of power.
 
−
Velen rejoiced to realize that his vision was coming to pass. Accordingly he took Nobundo with him when he and his fellow refugees took possession of the [[naaru]] satellite structure [[Exodar]] from the [[Blood Elf|blood elves]]. Thus it was that Nobundo journeyed with the draenei to the world of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]].</p>
 
−
<p>Nobundo found that unlike the desolate wastes of Outland, Azeroth possessed abundant elemental energies. He shared his knowledge of shamanism with the draenei on Azeroth, and all who adopted its path flourished.</p>
 
−
<p>The time for the draenei shaman to test themselves draws near, for the battle against the Burning Legion is once again at hand. And the fate not only of Azeroth, but of all worlds, hangs in the balance.</p>

Despite the (in most cases) accidental regression into Broken draenei, many draenei not only distrust them but despise them. Although understandable of those Broken draenei who remain corrupted or in service to the Legion, one would think that the draenei would be willing to welcome any of their people that survived the orcs' genocide. Talking with Nobundo, however, reveals a possible reason for this distrust and hatred. Broken draenei are unable to draw upon the Light's powers, being infused with fel energies. The draenei, being deeply religious, could view this in very negative context. The fact there are so many Broken draenei working in and on the Exodar is a testament to Velen's unending compassion for his people.

Other tribes of Broken draenei exist in Outland that are not part of the faction [[Ashtongue Deathsworn]]. One such group, called the [[Kurenai]], have escaped demonic influence and various slavers in [[Outland]]. Their name is Eredun and [[Draenei (language)|Draenei]] for "redeemed"; they have begun to establish relations with the [[Alliance]] and are hostile to the [[Horde]]. A group of hostile Broken draenei called the [[Murkblood]] live in the [[Underbog]] and [[Nagrand]]. Another tribe of Broken draenei include the [[Dreghood]] found on [[Hellfire Peninsula]], although some members have escaped to the [[Temple of Telhamat]] and are allied to the Alliance. There are also the [[Wastewalker tribe|Wastewalker]]s who are now enslaved in the [[Slave Pens]].

A tiny tribe of Broken draenei called the [[Broken Exiles]] are lead by [[Magtoor]] and live in the [[Harborage]] within the [[Swamp of Sorrows]]. They crossed the [[Dark Portal]] before it closed, together with the draenei [[Lost One]]s. Though the draenei Lost Ones went insane from homesickness, these Broken draenei did not. They are {{reputation|neutral}} to both the [[Alliance]] and [[Horde]]. Since [[patch 2.0]], emissaries from the [[Exodar]] have arrived in their village. They continue to remain {{reputation|neutral}} to the [[Horde]] out of fear of the nearby village of [[Stonard]], much to the emissaries' annoyance.

== Female Broken draenei? ==
 
−
Though female Broken draenei are confirmed in lore,<ref name="unkBroken" /> ''World of Warcraft'' does not currently have any female Broken draenei in-game. However, an unfinished model of a female Broken draenei (half of a female tauren without a head) has been found within the game files. It is un-textured as of [[patch 3.1]].

In [[Shadow Wing]], a female Broken is visible in the crowd. She simply looks like a female draenei with Broken facial features.

Such as the [[Humans]], [[Ogres]], and many other races, the Broken have an aggro sound.
