To be an Orc meant something - just like Draenor, we were destined to conquer this new world
The blood of Mannoroth was not a curse or weakness, it gave us strength - It was our destiny
And look at us now, look at what the ‘Horde’ has become. A weak failure - But so was Hellscream
They thought us defeated when the blood of Blackhand and his sons withered away
But the Highmaw do not forget
- Who are we?
The Hand of Nazgrath (or simply the Highmaw Clan) is a recreation of an older guild consisting of former Dark Horde remnants that either refused to integrate into Garrosh’s Horde when offered amnesty, or simply uphold the beliefs of the now destroyed Dark Horde they fought for.
- Who makes up the Highmaw Clan?
The Highmaw Clan is mainly made up from Dragonmaw and Blackrock Orcs from Blackrock itself, although they have conscripted Orcs from other clans that were sympathetic to their cause
(Primarily Iron Horde remnants who kept fighting after Gul’dan took over)
The Highmaw has made no efforts to conscript other races than Orcs due to the rigid leadership that has now gripped the clan.
- What do we do IC?
Violence. With a rigid leadership ruling with an iron fist, the Highmaw are at odds and hostile to almost everyone they come across, as very few (if any) groups fit their extremely specific beliefs, the bulk of the RP consists of conflict RP - Such as fighting other guilds (both Horde and Alliance) and generally being a driver of warfare and battle in a moment of lore where we aren’t quite focused on Azeroth and faction combat as a whole.
