Good News Everyone!
No, they are not lies.
Varok Saurfang was not a lauded warrior for no reason. He walked with honor once, and the great deeds he did are no less worthy of praise now that he has fallen to shame.
But neither did he not slaughter those innocent people.
Saurfang must let go of these things that shame him, and accept himself, his family, and his people for what they are, the good and the bad. While this may not raise the dead, nor will it haul this last fragment of the world from its voyage on the aetheric winds, it might help him become a better leader for his people.
There is a small fragment, one small seed, of what his people one were left in the world. But nothing is the same, and it is impossible to reclaim what once was.
The world has changed, but it has not ended. The Mag'har must change with it, or be left behind.

They just got stomped and brutalized and stabbed by a Saurfang while under the effects of a monumentally powerful instance of Bloodrage.
Bloodrage is defined as a mind-broken-berserker state where the combat abilities are enhanced several fold with additional strength and vitality, at the cost of any conscious thought, where anything moving is attacked viciously and continuously until the orc either dies or they're snapped out of it. Or, they actually just keep going until their body literally has absolutely nothing left in the tank, even if that means that what they are hitting has achieved paste form.
Dranosh ain't dead, and nothing from or about them was going to snap him out if it.
Also, even if there was anything left (there isn't) it would have been too fel tainted to be of use for someone of Dranosh's sensibilities.

Alright, so for next turn, I think we should choose that other hunting option, and the option that improves our standing by beating the hell out of any and all challengers. The first nets us bones that are good for arrows, while the second, well, improves our standing. It should prove that our beating of Bladefist, or whatever his name is, wasn't a fluke, and that we deserve the respect of a warrior. As for everything else, I say we wait until the options are posted. Thoughts?
The truth that the 'gift' that the horde drank was nothing more than a curse.
That his father, Garrosh's father, ALL of their fathers, gave into something worse than the bloodlust that can overtake their people, willingly I might add, and went on to commit genocide. They basically destroyed their very identity as a people and became little more than bloodthirsty monsters. And they did it all without remorse or a second thought.
Shame about the death of those Shamans, good info, would've personally preferred a double hunting for martial(missed the vote) and it's good to see that Badassery has been passed down the Saurfang line for generations("1v20 with a knife and no armour?" "Saurfang." "Point taken.").
At least now that his tragic backstory has been revealed he can reforge himself into something even better than before.

When you get strong enough to lift somebody with one hand, people make moderately useful bludgeoning tools.
Grab them by the shirt/chest, the impact is meh but the knockback is decent.
It's an advanced form of "stop hitting yourself".

The truth may hurt but it will set you free in its own way. And now Dranosh has gained perspective and conviction to do what needs to be done.
Actually. I think we need to take a year to let Dranosh mentally center himself. We probably should have beaten up everybody Before Greatmother Greyah shook up Dranosh's worldview. But we weren't really sure what we needed to do to get everybody's loyalty which is what the Greyah option was supposed to.
But yea. If Dranosh was at 100% with all that Honorable Warrior Badass flowing through his veins. It'd be no contest. Now, I'm not even sure Dranosh can even use his axe right anymore. What with it being a relic from a corrupted past, or without worrying about Dranosh falling into another bloodrage.
So yea. I actually think Dranosh definitely needs to take a break and find his center again before we can try and beat the unruly whelps. Because if we try and do it in this state. There's no telling what may happen.

You mean torroar.
Well, the Furies were more or less what we were expecting. The skulls. We were probably going to kill the Gron and twilight ogres anyway. But I'm not sure if we can salvage the Laughing Skulls though. They sound, Ridiculously broken mentally.
*Checks down list of recruits*
Bladefist ogres - Kill Gruul's son
Laughing Skull - Kill Twilight Ogre Leaders.
Draenei - ???
Naaru - Unlock Oshu'gan?
Mok'Nathal - Stop Ogres from Killing Mok'Nathal. Gain Command of Bladefist Ogres by Killing Gruul's Son??? Profit!
Stranded Alliance soldiers - Chuck Naaru at them.
If people knew that the horde were a bunch of murdering psychopaths willingly. Wouldn't be surprised to see suicides. Hell, Garrosh came Really close himself. And Dranosh wasn't much better

Probably MUCH later. People are just coming to terms that Draenor blew up, the ancestors and spirits hate us, and it's all our fault.

By the way. For those not into Warcraft lore.
The best death for an orc is dying for a worthy cause or against a hated enemy. Such as Broxigar Saurfang dying to Sargeras while holding off waves of demons. Or Grom Hellscream Executing Mannoroth and freeing the Orcs from the bloodcurse.
One of the saddest deaths for an orc is dying infirm in bed or from disease.
Suicide is pretty anathama to their culture and two people with pretty strong wills for orcs almost committed suicide after hearing the news. You're not even using your life to aid your fellows. You're pretty much wasting it to no benefit to anyone else.
The Despair is Real.

What are we going to call the Greenlings though? Man'ari Orcs?
Might make a bonding moment with the Draenei

I think Dranosh should probably have a chat with Garrosh. Maybe together they can find their way through the wilderness.
