| + | '''The Rawrcast Show''' is a weekly World of Warcraft [[podcast]] produced by Haf (Rusty) and Stompalina (Denise). Together they cover game-related topics, news, opinions, and reviews. They also occasionally welcome guests who help to shape our in-game adventures, and our out-of-game community of players. |

| − | In ''World of Warcraft'', '''raiders''' come from many races. They are usually [[mounted warrior]]s, but some are capable of fighting on foot as well. Many are employed by [[murloc]]s, [[orc]]s, and [[pirate]]s. They are known for raiding [[village]]s for plunder.[http://wow.allakhazam.com/search.html?q=raider] |

| − | Raider is the official title of the [[class]] of wolfriding orc [[warrior]]s that served the [[Orcish Horde]], primarily during the [[First War]]. As an [[organization]], they were referred to as the [[Sythegore Arm]]. Notable raiders in the Sythegore Arm included the first [[Warchief]], [[Blackhand the Destroyer]], and his two sons, [[Rend Blackhand|Rend]] and [[Maim Blackhand|Maim]]. |

The majority of the remaining wolfriders were sent back to [[Draenor]] where they ultimately fell under the dominion of [[Fenris the Hunter]] and his [[Thunderlord clan]]. By the beginning of the [[Second War]], raiders were extremely rare within the ranks of the Orcish Horde. |

These mighty warriors carry hefty warblades into combat and rely greatly upon the cunning and ferocity of their faithful dire-wolf mounts to defeat their enemies.{{Cite|W3Man|87}}</blockquote> |
