However, the clear favorite (and thus the one who received that title) was the battle-hungry Blackhand, chieftain of the Blackrock Clan. Through Gul'dan's manipulation - empowered by Kil'jaeden - the clans were united into the First Horde, and several clan chieftains, including Durotan, ran for the position of Warchief. Durotan, not seeking to bring attention to himself by opposing the official stance, allowed Drek'Thar and his shaman to receive the warlock training. It was at this time that the orcs - under the guidance of the ambitious Gul'dan, Ner'zhul's apprentice - began to take the path of warlock magic. Durotan and Draka took this as a sign that something was seriously wrong, even though Ner'zhul had told them the ancestors had told them that this was a just war. Despite orders to bring the Prophet and his party to Ner'zhul, Durotan decided to release them, reasoning that there was no honor in taking a willing prisoner.ĭuring a battle in which they were defeated by Restalaan's forces, the Frostwolf shaman realized they had been cut off from the spirits. This was met by suspicion and outright hostility by the orcs-particularly Drek'Thar, the Frostwolf clan shaman, who called Velen a blasphemer. Kil'jaeden had led the Burning Legion in a hunt for the draenei-renegade eredar who fled when Sargeras came - over the eons, but in the past had found only remnants of where they had been.ĭurotan was dispatched by Ner'zhul to meet with a party led by Velen himself near Oshu'gun, where the Prophet revealed that what guided the spirits of the ancestors there was in fact a dying naaru named K'ure, who had aided the draenei escape from Argus 25,000 years earlier.

This was part of an elaborate scheme concocted by the eredar lord Kil'jaeden, one of the lieutenants of the Dark Titan Sargeras. Ner'zhul told them what he believed the ancestors revealed to him - that the draenei were enemies of the orcish people. It was not long after this that Ner'zhul, the spiritual leader of the orcs and chieftain of the Shadowmoon Clan, called the clan chieftains and shaman to Oshu'gun. Some time later, Durotan's father Garad was killed in battle against a group of ogres and a gronn, and Durotan became the chieftain of the Frostwolf Clan by hereditary right. Though rebuffed (at first) when asking her to join him on a courtship hunt, the two eventually mated.Ģ7 September 2016 Chieftain of the Frostwolves Ĭoncept Art for Durotan for Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. Durotan was smitten at first sight, not believing that she could be a member of his clan. Upon returning to his clan, Durotan met a young Frostwolf orc named Draka. They discussed their people's histories, Durotan even commenting that he and Orgrim had learned more about the draenei in that period than their entire race had in over a century. Sending word to their clans, Restalaan took the two orcs to Telmor, and informed them that the draenei leader, Prophet Velen, was in the town and invited the two to dinner. While racing each other through Terokkar Forest, Durotan and Orgrim were attacked by a rampaging ogre, and would have been killed if not for the timely arrival of a draenei hunting party from Telmor, led by Restalaan. Durotan was also brought to the "sacred mountain" of Oshu'gun by request of the ancestors, seeking to test whether he could become a shaman as well as chieftain of his clan alas, he did not see the ancestors, though he knew they were there somehow. During a Kosh'harg festival in Nagrand, he met a Blackrock orc named Orgrim, son of Telkar Doomhammer, and the two became fast friends despite belonging to different clans. This sensitivity could have been the signs of being a Shaman, but for Durotan it was just the way he was.

He cared deeply about the world and those living in it. Durotan was the heir apparent to Garad, chieftain of the Frostwolf clan, in the years prior to the First War.
