How did Ogres get to Kalimdor?

[Lorraen-nethergarde-keep]

I’ve always been puzzled over this one.

Let’s lay out what we know:

Ogres are natives of Draenor (or Dawgar as they call it) , descendents of stone giants and originally servants of the Gronn. It’s been theorised that Ogres are the original progenitors of the Orcs.

Allied with The Orcis Horde, several tribes of Ogres were permitted to cross the Dark Portal, where they served as heavy shock troops, and battlemages during the first and second wars in Azeroth.

After the Horde’s defeat by the Alliance in the second war the Ogres spread far affield into the Eastern Kingdoms, and multiplied, no longer part of the Horde, but a race apart.

But, as far as we know, at no point did the second war spill over into Kalimdor.

Yet several Ogre tribes are present within Kalimdor, a land which, until Thrall’s landing had never been visited by any of the former natives of Draenor. Indeed it took all of the Horde fleet’s skill and luck to even discover the continent.

Yet, we know that Ogres were present in Kalimdor, at least going back as far as the founding of Duratar -as anyone who has followed Rexxar’s story will know.

So, my question is: How did they get there? How did the Ogres manage to establish themselves in that continent? Certainly they never sailed with the Horde during Thralls liberation prior to the third war.

Anyone care to speculate?

After the defeat of the Horde in the Second War, the ogre clans dispersed in all directions. Some escaped through the Dark Portal to Draenor, but others had no intention of remaining near the orcs and their legendary bloodlust. The ogres who made the difficult journey across the ocean to Kalimdor found plenty of space to inhabit. Those who remained in the Eastern Kingdoms were hunted ruthlessly by Alliance patrols.

So you’re saying the Ogres either built, comandeered, or stole ships and made the treacherous crossing to this unknown continent on their own, unguided, and with no purpose except to expand?

I guess it’s as good-a-solution as any, though it seems quite a stretch to me to imagine the dull-witted Ogres just setting sail blindly with no clear direction or focus, and then just happening to stumble upon Kalimdor.

Actually, the Ogres were great sailors.
In the second war, the Orcs, who were not seafaring people sought the help of the Ogres to build battleships.
With the help of the Ogres the Orcs build the Juggernaught, These gargantuan ships of war were the main armament in the dark armada of the Horde. Heavily armed and armored, the juggernaughts were veritable floating fortresses that constituted the greatest implement of destruction within the Horde’s naval forces. While not as swift as the troll warships, these ruinous crafts had quickly came to be feared across the seas of Azeroth for the unrelenting onslaught they rendered against the Alliance.

Elrian can’t help it and spread his Anti Horde propaganda everywhere.
