With the Keepers having given a challenge to the Blacktooth Grin that Prince Galen Trollbane, would not be defeated so long as they guarded the Keep, the Grin got to work amassing a large quantity of Horde forces to defeat the Keepers. The Horde forces steamrolled into the keep and advanced on Ironforge where they were ultimately repulsed.

**The Keep was taken and held by the Grin with simultaneous attacks on Southshore, Refuge Pointe, and Thelsamar. After a few initial skirmishes, the full weight of the Keepers was brought to bear against the Grin. However, multiple attempts at recapture by the Keepers of Stromgarde resulted in encirclements and slaughter. As the Keepers attempted to push through the main gates of Stromgarde, they were held by the Grin main body while a flanking element led by Breadalbane and Eddard circled the Alliance forces and attacked their rear inflicting heavy casualties. The Main force then moved to the Wetlands where a major battle erupted between the Blacktooth Grin and the Keepers of Stromgarde supported by the Knights of Justice.

A group of ten of the fiercest fighters of the Blacktooth Grin were led by Gorfrunch into Rut'theran. The Ten proceeded to clear the way for the main assualt into Darnassus. After the Ten cleared all guards and civilians, they camped the portal spot while the main raid went up and slaughtered [[Tyrande Whisperwind]]. The Ten then cleared a path to the Cenarion Enclave. The main force followed and quickly took down the Arch Druid [[Fandral Staghelm]], after which the combined Horde forces continued to sack the city.

== History ==
 
 
The Origins of the Blacktooth Grin go back to the First and Second Wars.
 
The official Lore of: [[Black Tooth Grin Clan]]
 
 
On The Venture Co. server the history of the clan continues. After Rend took command of the Blackrock Clan and Maim disappeared, the remnants of the Grin that refused to follow Rend to his self-imprisonment in Blackrock Spire carried on their own guerilla war in the Eastern Kingdoms until they were captured and placed in internment camps. After Thrall's liberation of the camps, the Grin fought with the New Horde until their arrival on Kalimdor. Then, in what the Grin considered to be a complete betrayal, Thrall sought peace with the humans, and even sought to establish a city! The Grin, under Chieftain Smashblade, could not take these heinous breaches of Orcish pride, and split off from Thrall's New Horde. The Grin kept themselves true to the values of the old-Horde: loyalty, discipline, and the destruction of the Alliance. Since then, they have been a beacon of hope for all those Horde, Orc or non-, that seek to continue to fight the War: for the Grin, the Second War never ended. The politics of Thrall are shameful to the Grin and they do their best to keep all Alliance living in fear of the Grin. As the Chieftain Gorfrunch was fond of saying: “Warchiefs make war. Peacechiefs make peace. Whichun's sitting in Orgreemar?”
 
 
== Discipline ==
 
 
One of the things that distinguishes the Blacktooth Grin from other clans is their iron discipline and absolute loyalty to the Clan and its' Chieftain. While other clans may raid in a haphazard manner, the Grin conducts training, gives and follows strict orders in battle, and fights as a unit. This trait has been noted by other clans Horde-side but has not been widely emulated.
 
 
== Friends ==
 
 
Although the Blacktooth Grin can count on many clans for support in raids and time of war; few can truly be called Friends. The [[Grunts]] have long had a love-hate relationship with the Grin and though they have their differences they can always be counted on in the middle of a fight.
 
 
The Bloodelves of [[Suncrown]] allied with the Grin before the Shadows over Khaz Modan. They, like the Grunts, have fought many battles with the Grin, spilling Alliance blood.
 
 
The [[Thunderlord Clan]] is another horde clan that often allies with the Grin against common enemies. However, the Thunderlords alliegance to Thrall and an intense rivalry between the two Chiefs Gorfrunch and Zamarak always drove a wedge between the two clans. Ultimately the Thunderlord Clan dissolved.
 
 
For sometime the Dread Horde was supported by the [[Thunderhoof Clan]]. The all tauren guild comes to the aid of the Grin when Alliance attacks threaten tauren camps. The Thunderhoofs were a strong ally during the Desolace campaign.
 
 
The newest ally of the Grin is the [[Lament of the Highborne]]. This blood elf guild has taken to the Grin's way of fighting and can always be counted on in battle.
 
 
== Foes ==
 
 
The Blacktooth Grin's chief enemy was always the [[Guild:Keepers of Stromgarde (The Venture Co. US)|Keepers of Stromgarde]]. An RP heavy PVP guild, the Keepers owe alliegiance to Prince Galen Trollbane and have taken it upon themselves to maintain the Keep permanently free of Horde questers. In RP terms this does not sit well with the Grin clan and so multiple raids were staged on the Keep to clear out the Allies, one of the earliest being [[Server:The Venture Co. US/Battle for the Keep|The Battle for the Keep]] (An RP event between <Blacktooth Grin> and <Keepers of Stromgarde>.
 
 
The [[Guild:Midnight Reveries (The Venture Co. US)|Midnight Reveries]] declared war on the Blacktooth Grin following a Grin assualt on their new home at Aerie Peak. This attack was the first battle in the [[Server:The Venture Co. US/Shadows Over Khaz Modan|Shadows Over Khaz Modan]] Campaign. Although the Grin ravaged a good part of Khaz Modan, this campaign ultimately led to clan's demise.
 
 
==The End?==
 
The Shadows Over Khaz Modan campaign was the boldest offensive ever executed by the Grin. After the final Battle for Ironforge, the Blacktooth Grin sat defeated. In the chaos, the order was given for the retreat. What was left of the Grin scattered as they had been trained to do from the many battles beforehand. The Warchief and his most loyal guard stood their ground outside of Ironforge and continued fighting as the alliance forces surrounded them. When the tattered Grin had regrouped at Taugrek's Stand, there was no Warchief to greet them. A group of rogues were sent into Ironforge to reclaim the Warchief's body but it was never found. After Ironforge there was no sign of the Warchief of the Grin, and the Grin dispersed to fight under other banners, but their teeth were still missing.
 
 
==The Shattered Guard==
 
Huizopotl seeing that their warchief had gone missing had taken up the mantle of leadership. Along with Oroki and Shadiel, he found as many Grin as he could and they marched under a new banner. The Shattered Guard was formed. The Shattered Guard sheltered the old Grin and grew in strength preparing to repay the Alliance for the events at Ironforge.
 
 
==Rebirth==
 
Months later the Bronze Dragonflight noticed an anomaly in the past. Gorfrunch had snuck into the caverns to go back in time to the time period of the Second War. The dragons could not let Gorfrunch remain in the time stream to change events about to occur, so they stopped him with force. Now back in the present the Warchief set out to find his clan. All who gave a tooth would know of his return and if the alliance had felt any reprieve since the Khaz Modan campaign, it would soon be over. [[Server:The Venture Co. US/The Fall of Legends|The Fall of Legends]] brought about a split between the Grin following Gorfrunch and Faquarl. In the end both warriors died for their beliefs. Faquarl was felled by an arrow fired by Derken, guild leader of the [[Guild:Kanoste Hyanda Agarwaen (The Venture Co. US)|Kanoste Hyanda Agarwaen]]. Gorfrunch died during a duel with Arkonn the blood elf from Allied guild Suncrown.
 
 
In the turmoil Following The Fall of Legends, the Grin were led by the tauren Warchief Ashenrock. As a druid Rock was commited to preserving life. As Chief of the Grin, he was dedicated to continuing the war against the Alliance. It was precisely those conflicting viewpoints which led to his renouncing the mantle of Chieftain. Although the Grin continued to fight bravely under the druid's leadership, the clan seemed to lose its way. The kidnapping of Ashenrock's seer Felora was the final straw. Fearing that he would lose the tauren he cared most for and realizing that he could no longer effectively lead the Clan, Ashenrock gave the strung-tooth necklace to his Warlord Yagyu. Taking Felora with him, Ashenrock left to find his own way in Azeroth like so many before him.
 
 
Apart from Grimnir, Yagyu was the last of Gorfrunch's original Blacktooth Grin. Now it is up to him to lead the Grin to victory....or oblivion.

Hmm, an interesting tale, and not one to be taken lightly. Yeah, I can help you, but what you need to do is divvy out a form of justice that's not... legal, if you're to see this through to the end.
