Crushridge

The Crushridge are a clan of ogres that have taken up residence in the ruins of Alterac. The Crushridge ogres are cunning, massive and strong. Leftovers from the Second War, these ogres have thrown off orc rule for their own primitive ways. They live in Alterac City and kill whatever they can. They are cagey and surprisingly shrewd. Under Mug’Thol’s guidance, the Crushridge tribe has become a brutal and feared force in the Alterac Mountains. The tribe’s combined might is formidable, and it relies on brute strength to attain its goals. The warriors of the tribe simply trample their enemies under a massive, raging charge. The tribe is easily roused to full battle. Keeping the tribal stronghold, protecting territory and finding food are the tribe’s main concernsTemplate:Cite

After the Second War, they joined the Stonemaul tribe. They have since split from the Stonemaul tribe who travelled to Kalimdor and now live in the Dustwallow Marsh. Their leader, Mug'thol, enslaved by the Banshee queen, was able to free himself of Sylvanas Windrunner's control using the  [Crown of Will], broke away from the Forsaken, renamed his clan the Crushridge and established a new home in Crushridge Hold.

The Crushridge Clan currently controls the fallen human city of Alterac. The Syndicate, being the remnants of Alterac's citizenry, are in a constant battle with the Crushridge ogres for supremacy of the region.

Who burns just because they can?
