(Paladin? The light given by Fearbreaker could show the potential for being a paladin but there is no guarantee that Baine is a paladin.)

The [[tauren]] [[Tagar (tauren)|Tagar]] told [[Rexxar]] to find him and bring him back. So, Baine was rescued by [[Rexxar]], and they battled their way together through hordes of centaur until they finally made it back to Cairne, who was overjoyed to see his son alive. After he was brought back with the help of [[Bovan Windtotem]], [[Cairne Bloodhoof]] decided to join [[Rexxar]]'s party.

At [[Bloodhoof Village]], Baine Bloodhoof leads an investigation into [[Venture Company]] operations to the east and a campaign against the [[Palemane]] [[gnoll]]s to the west. With his father growing older, Baine takes a greater role in the leadership of the [[tauren]] with each passing year. He has grown into a formidable [[warrior]], but it will be some time before he matches his legendary father’s exploits.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg. 40.</ref>
 
 
Baine attempted to warn the dwarven miners of [[Bael'dun Digsite]] that their violent mining methods were hurting the spirits of the Earth and even attempted to scare them off by sending [[Adventurers]] to break their tools. However the dwarves did not listen and continued using explosives on the earth. In Cataclysm Baine was shown to be right as the enraged Spirits of the Earth rose from the ground and killed the dwarves of [[Bael'dun Digsite]].<ref>http://cata.wowhead.com/quest=14491</ref>
 
 
===Stormrage===
 
{{Novel-section}}
 
{{main|World of Warcraft: Stormrage}}
 
Taking place after the defeat of the Lich King, the book shows that Baine has become a major leader of the tauren. When the Emerald Nightmare begins to slowly claim all of the denizens of Thunder Bluff, he helps guide his people in their resistance, if however futile. Later, when [[Malfurion Stormrage]] calls for the warriors of Azeroth into battle against the Nightmare, he is one of the many to answer. Once within the Emerald Dream, Baine once against shows his aptitude for leadership. When the Horde express agitation about Malfurion giving leadership to [[Varian Wrynn]] for the battle, Baine is the first to stand by his side, alleviating all tension and showing that this conflict was above their petty differences. Although they fight a seemingly hopeless battle, the united Azeroth eventually claims victory, and Baine is able to return to his people to help repair the damage.
 
 
===Lands of Mystery===
 
This information is from the RPG, however it is contradicted by the events in Cataclysm.
 
{{RPG-section}}
 
 
It would seem that after [[Brann Bronzebeard]] had a chance to speak to the tauren chieftain at Thunder Bluff about the dwarves of [[Bael'dun Digsite]], that Baine Bloodhoof asked a group of young tauren to act as emissaries to the dwarven excavation of Bael’dun to convince the dwarves to cease their careless digging. Given enough effort, the tauren apparently convinced the dwarves to allow a shaman to oversee their site to make sure that the land is properly cared for during the excavation, and that the dwarves return to the land as much as they take. Baine then asked them to deal with the Venture Company as well – a more difficult proposition, however, it seems a few good axe swings were likely more effective than conventional diplomacy.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg. 41.</ref>
 
 
==Ascension on the Eve of the Shattering==
 
{{novel-section}}
 
{{main|The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm}}
 
[[Image:Baine Bloodhoof Cataclysm.jpg|thumb|Baine as High Chieftain after Cairne's death]]
 
As the war in [[Northrend]] carried on, Baine led his people in Cairne's place whenever his father was absent, such as Cairne's journey to [[Warsong Hold]]. Baine is shown to be an effective and beloved leader, a worthy successor to his father.
 
 
Cairne is killed by Grimtotem treachery during a duel with the new Warchief, [[Garrosh Hellscream]], in the arena in Orgrimmar. Upon his death, [[Magatha Grimtotem]], Cairne's sworn rival, orders her tribe to take over Mulgore and kill everyone in it, and sends assassins to [[Bloodhoof Village]] to kill Baine, who remains unaware of what happened in Orgrimmar. However, Baine is tipped off by a Grimtotem defector, and manages to escape under the cover of a kodo stampede, sending messengers to other villages warning them of the Grimtotems' treachery. Uncertain of Garrosh's allegiances, knowing that the Forsaken did not care, the trolls would side with Garrosh and the blood elves were too far away, Baine journeys to [[Theramore Isle|Theramore]] and asks [[Jaina Proudmoore]] for help.
 
 
While there, Baine meets Prince [[Anduin Wrynn]], heir to the throne of [[Stormwind]]; after an initial uneasiness, Baine warms to the young man, so unlike his warrior father, [[Varian Wrynn|King Varian]]. His sadness and churning emotions at all that has transpired cause great empathy in Anduin; in an act of friendship, he gives Baine the great hammer [[Fearbreaker]], an ancient heirloom given to him by King [[Magni Bronzebeard]]. The weapon "likes" Baine and steadies him with the Light that it wields, and he promises to treasure it always. Jaina is moved by this gesture, and agrees to provide Baine monetary support in his efforts to bring down Magatha and the Grimtotems.
 
 
The Grimtotem defector who saved Baine in Mulgore travels to [[Ratchet]] to enlist the aid of its leader, [[Gazlowe]]. The goblin engineer - who had always liked "the old bull", as he called Cairne - agrees to assist Baine in his quest, providing zeppelins, explosives and other supplies. Garrosh, convinced by his advisor [[Eitrigg]] to atone for what happened in the arena, also provides a large Horde force to join with Baine. With the materials and manpower he needs, Baine leads a surprise attack on Thunder Bluff, under the cover of a false storm. Baine succeeds in defeating Magatha, but decides to spare her life. Allowing those who would follow him to remain, Baine exiles Magatha and her loyalists.
 
 
Baine confronts Garrosh in Thousand Needles, accusing him of willfully participating in Magatha's treachery. Garrosh insists that he was unaware of the trickery until it was too late, and expects that Baine will also challenge him. Baine refuses, believing that Cairne's challenge was intended to unite the Horde and another challenge would divide it further, and begrudgingly considers the matter settled. Though he is still angry at Garrosh for his part in his father's death, Baine acknowledges him as his Warchief, to which Garrosh, admiring the new High Chieftain, pledges the loyalty of the Horde to the new leader of the tauren.
 
 
==Cataclysm==
 
{{cata-section}}
 
With Cairne's death after his duel with [[Garrosh]] and liberating Thunder Bluff from the [[Grimtotem]]s, Baine becomes the racial leader of the tauren in ''Cataclysm''.
 
 
Baine will help Tauren players in the {{Quest|War Dance}} fight against [[Orno Grimtotem]].
 
 
==Quotes==
 
Greetings:
 
 
*"I am Baine, son of Cairne, now Chief of the Bloodhoof Tauren."
 
 
*"Never dispair, friend. The eyes of the [[Earthmother]] are upon us."
 
 
*"Honor the Earthmother, always. This is the way of the Tauren."
 
 
*"Ish-ne-halo-por-ah"
 
 
*"The world is torn, and our [[Horde]] allies have turned down dark paths. We must guide them. Even in the darkest hour, we will bravely hold our heads high, and honor the [[Earth Mother]] in all we do."
