Gates of Orgrimmar
The story
The Gates of Orgrimmar form the imposing southern threshold of the Horde capital, carved directly into the red rock of northern Durotar. Flanked by heavy timber and iron battlements, this grand entryway connects the arid wastes outside to the busy commons of the Valley of Strength. It stands as a physical declaration of orcish endurance and martial strength.
Framed by towering wooden palisades, massive iron spikes, and fortified watchtowers, the main gate guards the primary chasm cutting into the mountains sheltering Orgrimmar. For travelers approaching from Razor Hill and the scrublands of Durotar, the entrance serves as both a welcoming monument and a stark deterrent to any who would threaten the new Horde. Heavily armed Orgrimmar Grunts and Darkspear Headhunters patrol the approach, keeping vigilant watch over all traffic entering the city.
