The Defilers are a group of forsaken intent on claiming the Arathi Basin in the name of the Horde. This pits them at odds with the League of Arathor, a group of humans, citizens of the now fallen kingdom of Stromgarde. Though they are technically members of the Horde, the Defilers show more loyalty to other forsaken than they do with the rest of the Horde and would not hesitate to do battle against the allies should the needs of their people take precedence.
