Changes: Warsong Hold

The Winterax tribe
Main leader	Korrak the Bloodrager
Capital	Unknown
Theater of operations	Amphitheater of Anguish

Revision as of 17:31, 8 July 2011

The Winterax tribe are a tribe of ice trolls, once part of the nation of Zul'Drak, led by Korrak the Bloodrager. After the Sundering, the Drakkari tribe continued to live in what had become the bitterly cold continent of Northrend. The Winterax and Frostmane tribes, however, later settled in the Eastern Kingdoms. Due to the ice trolls' unrelenting hostility toward outsiders, historians have yet to learn how these two tribes were separated from the Drakkari and came to live so far from the ancient site of Zul'Drak.

Like the Frostmane trolls, the Winteraxes do not share the unusually large size of their Drakkari brethren. The Winterax trolls have been invading the valleys of alterac and Alterac Valley and were fighting the dwarves of the Stormpike clan (Stormpike Guard) and Frostwolf clan. Brann doesn't understand why the trolls wanted the valleys of Alterac. By taking troll heads the Stormpike clan formed a close bond with the nearby Wildhammer dwarves.^[1]

The subject of this section has been removed from World of Warcraft.

One day, Korrak and his people simply disappeared, along with most of their belongings and supplies. The mystified orcs and dwarves concluded that the trolls had at last given up their home, which, after all, had devolved into little more than a bloody battlefield, and left in search of greener pastures. Korrak has recently been seen competing in the Amphitheater of Anguish as one of the top gladiators. As to where the rest of his tribe is is unknown, but one can speculate that they have rejoined with the Drakkari.

-==Construction==
-After landing in the Borean Tundra, the Warsong Offensive required a base of operations, a location to house its troops and leaders, as well as a place for formulating strageties to further the Offensive's hold in Northrend.  An army of [[Peon | Peons]] were sent from [[Orgrimmar]] to build this large keep.  They began digging into the cold stone surface of the tundra and carved out massive blocks of stone.  With the aid of cranes, they began positioning the blocks atop the hill they dug around.  After a short time, the fortress itself was completed.  Once the Hold was completed, the peons began work on an outer line of defenses; a series of towers and gates around the outer edge of the [[Mightstone Quarry]].  Along the road from [[Garrosh's Landing]] to '''Warsong Hold''', a village including [[Torp's Farm]] sprang up to house the peons working on the fortress.

-The peon village has since been taken over by [[The Cult of the Damned]].  They ravaged the village and began creating more undead minions for the [[Scourge]] forces.  Since, the peons have moved to '''Warsong Hold''' and are currently being housed in small shelters around the base of the keep.

-Also, the peons working in [[Mightstone Quarry]] dug too deep and uncovered old tunnels.  From the tunnels, hordes of [[Nerub'ar]] forces poured forth and began attacking the soldiers of the [[Warsong Offensive]].  Several soldiers have now become trapped in webs and adventurers are tasked with freeing them.
