The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You’re playing the game, you’re fighting the bosses, you know the how, but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.

WARNING: The following post contains spoilers for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Players who wish to play the new expansion spoiler-free should veer away from this post.

All right, we’ve seen over the past five weeks the current political activity in all of the Horde races; orcs, trolls, tauren, Forsaken and blood elves. Needless to say, there is a lot of conflict just beginning to rear its head — not just from one race to the next, but internally within those races as well. What does all this mean in regards to the Horde, when Cataclysm comes into play? Today we’ll be looking at what (given all the information we’ve been presented previously), if anything, will happen when Cataclysm finally launches and the world gets thrown into chaos.

Please note I’ve put a spoiler warning on this post. This is because the following content, while mostly sheer speculation, may or may not end up being correct and will also directly address several rumors regarding Cataclysm that have not yet been confirmed. If you see a “TFH” demarcation on any future Know Your Lore posts, these are “Tin Foil Hat” predictions based on current lore and are in no way actually indicative of anything officially from Blizzard in regards to the game or where it’s going to go. If anything presented here does end up being correct, these will actually become Cataclysm spoilers; if not, we’ve still had plenty of fun trying to predict how things are going to go down! Potential spoilers start immediately after the break.
