Orgrimmar

Orgrimmar is the Orcish Capital City in the Warcraft Universe. It resides in the region of Durotar on the continent of Kalimdor in the world of Azeroth.

History
In the video game Warcraft III, the orc Thrall led his people from oppression by the humans. Their journey took them to Azeroth's Western Continent, Kalimdor. They settled in the region now known as Durotar, which Thrall named after his murdered father. With the help of thier new allies, the Tauren, led by Carne Bloodhoof, they settled in the north of Durotar to rebuild the orc's once-glorius society.
