Warlords of Draenor Reputations

Traditionally, the Arakkoa worship the bird god, Rukhmar. When an Arakkoa is found to worship another god or commits another unforgiveable deed, they are punished and sent to the cursed pools of Sethekk Hollow. There, they lose the ability to fly and become recognizable due to the contorted shape their bodies take. Rather than worshipping Rukhmar, they follow Anzu and Terokk. When the Arakkoa Outcasts greet one another, one will utter the phrase, "Shadows gather", to which the other Arakkoa will respond, "when the raven swallows the day." The Arakkoa Outcasts make use of shadow magic in order to fight the Arakkoa of those still following Rukhmar. A splinter faction of the Arakkoa Outcasts joined with the Burning Legion, led by former Arakkoa Outcast leader Iskar. However, many Arakkoa Outcasts refused to join and a war begin between the two groups in the Tanaan Jungle.

The Council of Exarchs are a group of five draenei that reside over a specifc aspect of draenei society. The Artificers are a group of draeni engineers. The Auchenai are the keepers of the dead and guard the tomb Auchindoun. The Rangari are draenei that serve as scouts. The Sha'tari spend their time researching the naaru. The Vindicators are the warrior wing of draenei society. Led by the Prophet Velen, the council formed after the draenei first came to Draenor. There, Velen no longer had the guidance of the naaru K'ara, K'ure, and D'ore. He was also wise enough to realize that he could no longer trust his own visions so he formed the council to serve as his advisors. While the Council of Exarchs are allied with the Alliance, they have not yet formally joined the faction.

The Frostwolf Orcs are a tribe of orcs in the alternate Draenor timeline. While this particular clan is smaller than other orcish clans, their bond with wolves only strengthed their bond with each other. When Garrosh Hellscream came to this Draenor to form the Iron Horde, only the Frostwolf Orcs refused the invitation. This snub led to the death of their leader, Garad. Additionally, members of the Frostwolf clan were captured and subjected to slavery. When the heroes of Azeroth came to Draenor in pursuit of Garrosh, the Horde sided with and freed the Frostwolf Orcs, earning their allegiance. Together, the groups would defeat the Bladespire Ogres and later, would venture into the Talador to do battle with Garrosh Hellscream, ultimately leading to his death.

Led by Exarch Yrel, the Hand of the Prophet is the military wing of draenei society. Operating out of the Tanaan Jungle, the Hand of the Prophet has allied itself with the Alliance in order to capture the warlock Gul'dan. Yrel encourages his warriors to lead a crusade in the name of the Prophet Velen to establish a foothold in the Tanaan Jungle before eventually overthrowing Gul'dan.

Along with the Frostwolf Orcs, the Laughing Skull Orcs are a clan of orcs that refused to join the Iron Horde. However, unlike the Frostwolf Orcs who disagreed with Garrosh, the Laughing Skull Orcs refused to join simply because they valued their own self identity. To this end, they allied themselves with the Horde and the Frostwolf Orcs to fight against the Iron Horde, ultimately leading to the defeat of Garrosh Hellscream. The Frostwolf chieftan Durotan, met with the presumed leader of the Laughing Skull Orcs, Kaz the Shrieker to form an alliance against their common enemy, the Iron Horde. Kaz agreed after the Frostwolves helped repel a goren invasion of their village.

The Order of the Awakened is a faction of arakkoa consisting of both cursed and high arakkoa. Their mantra is to bring peace to all arakkoa through the use of Apexis Crystals. To achieve their goal, the arakkoa of The Order of the Awakened trade their goods for the coveted crystals. This group of arakkoa have an uneasy alliance with the Arakkoa Outcasts. They are mostly regarded with confusion by their cursed brethren. However, the two factions share a common enemy in the Burning Legion. When a faction of Arakkoa Outcasts, led by Shadow-Sage Iskar join with the Sethekk to fight alongside the Burning Legion and the Shadow Council, the Order of Awakened fight back against their fellow arakkoa in the jungles of Tanaan.

As the Burning Legion began it's invasion of Draenor, the men and women of Shattrath fought valiantly against the demon horde. Unfortunately, they were betrayed by one of their own and the Burning Legion was able to invade Shattrath. The Sha'tari Defense, led by Exedar Maladaar, represents a group of freedom fighters that are looking to regain control of their city from the hated Burning Legion. As the members are primarly dranei, the Sha'tari Defense are allied with the Alliance and battle against the Burning Legion alongside their brethren from Azeroth.

Comprised of goblins found on Draenor, the Steamwheedle Preservation Society, led by Gazmolf Futzwangler, are interested in preserving history while making a profit at the same time. To that end, they aim to relocate items in the possession of the ogres in Nagrand for the sole purpose of profiting from the sale of those items. This position puts them in direct conflict with other archeologists, particularly the famed archeologist Harrison Jones.

The Saberstalkers are a group of hunters operating in the Tanaan jungle. Their base of operations centers around the Fang'rila area, located in the southeastern region of the Tanaan jungle. While no beast is considered insignificant from these hunters, their preferred quarry are the Blackfang tribe of saberon, a cat-like species found in alternate Draenor. These beasts are not completely mindless however and have their own social structure. They are bipedal and capable of using tools to form rudimentary weapnons. Anyone hunting the saberon needs to be wary of the old adege, the hunter sometimes becomes the hunted.

Vol'jin's Headhunters are a force of Horde warriors that establish a foothold in the Tanaan jungle. Operating with full knowledge of what danger Gul'dan represents, Vol'jin's Headhunters seek to overflow the orcish warlock before he can further lend his aid to the Burning Legion. Taking their orders from the Horde Warchief Vol'jin, Vol'jin's Headhunters are the special forces division of Horde forces. Vol'jin sees an opportunity on this alternate Draenor; overthrow Gul'dan before the Burning Legion can overrun and desecrate Draenor the way they did in Vol'jin's universe.

Where as Vol'jin's Headhunters shared a common goal with their Alliance counterpart, Vol'jin's Spear exists in direct opposition to their Alliance counterpart, Wrynn's Vanguard. While Gul'dan's success would spell ruin for both the Horde and the Alliance, the history between these two factions makes it very difficult for the two to completely put aside their differences and work together. As a result, Vol'jin's Spear keeps the Alliance in check. While a Gul'dan victory would be bad for the Horde, the Alliance becoming overwhelmingly powerful via newly formed alliances in this alternate Draenor would be equally disastrous for the Horde.

Wrynn's Vanguard exists as a counterbalance to Vol'jin's Spear. Though the Alliance and the Horde share a common enemy in Gul'dan and his victory would spell doom for both factions, the Alliance cannot let the Horde grow too powerful for fear that once Gul'dan was dealt with, they would then turn their attention to the Alliance and seek to put an end to a war begun many decades ago. To this end, Wrynn's Vanguard seeks to keep the Horde in check and prevent the Horde from overrunning the Alliance in this alternate Draenor which Varian Wrynn knows would very likely spill over into Azeroth.
