Distinguished by his strength and dedication to the shamanistic rituals, Gar’ Galaloth was not one to be toyed with. Indeed he had once been another small minded shaman, using only the elemental forces of the Earth to empower him, but that was behind him, he was now so much more.

When the Human Alliance clashed with the orcish warriors of the Horde, on the vacant plains of Kalimdor, The Horde sent it’s strongest warriors to fight, to free themselves from the Alliances constant pursue. Among these mighty warriors and powerful spell casters, was Gar’ Galaloth; it is here when our story begins...

The blood red sun had just peaked its golden rays over the horizon, it would not be long before the kodos drums started to wake up the warriors. It had been a long night for them, alliance mortar teams and gyrocopters had plagued the encampment since first starlight.

Gar’ Galaloth was already awake, he sat perfectly still; absorbing magikcs for the days battle was a ritual that could only be performed in complete silence. Around the Shaman, deep in meditation, the Earth was reacting extremely peculiar- ripples of golden green energy progressed inwards towards him, it was then seemingly consumed. This continued for another five or so minutes, when he felt he had absorbed sufficient enough power- or mana, as it was frequently referred to; the shaman rose from his kneeled position and continued on to the days obligations.

The familiar thump of the Kodos drums could be heard on the wind, back at camp the Horde would be packed with tired soldiers, soon the magikcal hotspot- like the one Gar’ Galaloth had just left would be swarming with mana hungry shamans. Round the cliff face the orcish encampment appeared an eternity of difference to its appearance early that morning, the peons of the camp had been hard at work; repairing the damage created by mortar teams and gyrocopters. Outside the burrows, Grunts were sharpening the fine blades on the battle axes; raiders were thudding wearily to the bestiary to retrieve their riding wolves; and shamans were tightening travel cloaks as they prepared to venture out, and restore lost mana.

Their camp general, Maftagi was readying his wolf, Growbarch, a totally different species of wolf than that of the raiders- Growbarch was a warg- it stood about 3 metres high and was considerably larger than any of the Alliances horses- including Harrowtag- the Archmage Tenroys horse. Dar’ Galaloth approached Maftagi, although his walk portrayed nothing of a problem; something had been bothering him all through his mana restoration ritual that morning.
“Greetings General” The shaman said in a loud voice- Maftagi was known to not hear much when preparing for battle.
Maftagi looked up “Why, hello shaman Galaloth- Magikcs in full supply I presume”
“Yes sir, full to the brink- I feel i could bloodlust twelve Kodo’s today” He replied enthusiastically.
“That's fantastic, so, what is it that's bothering you?” Maftagi had clearly read something out of order in Gar’ Galaloths voice.
The shaman hesitated “Well... its about the upcoming battle- are you sure we should continue, last nights bombardment took a large toll; shouldn’t the blackrock clan have sent reinforce-” But he never finished his sentence. A tiny peon- looked like a lumber orc had sprinted down as fast as he could:
“Men, dwarves, guns come now, we hide burrow?”
“An attack, what is your name little peon?”
The tiny orc looked up “Melger” he replied
“Okay Melger, go and get all the other peons, fit spikes to the guard towers and then go to your front-line burrows, got it?”
“Yes, Yes” He waddled off with all the speed he could muster.
Mafagi turned to Gar’ Galaloth “You. shaman Galaloth, get whoever is ready and hide in the trees, ambush the alliance when they pass, put in all you’ve got and push them back towards the guard towers that are closest the the peon burrows on the eastern border, is that a problem?”
“No general”
There was no time to worry about reinforcements now- the human were attempting to wipe out the encampment.
