I don't know about how Alliance quests transport the circumstances of the razing of Taurajo, but especially this quest serves to... stir feelings about the event.

Let me quote just one thing:

Yonada's Spirit says: Alliance - they've surrounded the camp! What are they doing here? Why are they attacking Taurajo? Get the children run! RUN!

After leveling more toons than I can count through the Barrens, this quest actually got me a bit teary eyed, especially Omusa's comments.

Comentario de jergood

This has got to be the saddest quest I've done on the Horde.

As many times as I've caught a wind rider flight from Omusa Thunderhorn - it was very sobering to find him dead and deliver his last respects. Downright inspirational to learn he stayed behind to cover the retreat.

Lok'Tar A'gar! I will avenge you!

I think my new PVP battlecry will be "Remember Camp Taurajo!"

Comentario de Amberlee

Of all the quests in the game, this quest made me feel the most distressed. It was a glimpse into their final moments as they tried to save others at their own peril - very touching.

Omusa's Spirit says: "No, stay with the others. Escort them north, away from the fighting. I will stay here with the wyverns and cover your escape. Go!: ...wait, it is over? I've been run through ... Ah. Of course. I understand now. I am expected elsewhere."

*sad*

Comentario de 255458

This is probably the most emotional quest I've done as a player of many Tauren characters. When you use the funeral totem, each spirit relives its last few moments when it was alive. Having played through the barrens roughly six times, I remember all these NPCs.

Omusa (the old Flight Master)

Omusa's Spirit says: No, stay with the others. Escort them north, away from the fighting. I will stay here with the wyverns and cover your escape. Go!
Omusa's Spirit says: ...wait, it is over? I've been run through... Ah. Of course. I understand now. I am expected elsewhere.

Yonada (Tailoring Supplier)

Yonada's Spirit says: Alliance - they've surrounded the camp! What are they doing here? Why are they attacking Taurajo? Get the children - run! RUN!

Dranh (Leatherworking Trainer)

Dranh's Spirit says: I can feel the embrace now of all living things, the Earthmother's eternal peace. Thank you.

Krulmoo (Skinning Trainer)

Krulmoo's Spirit says: I ran to wake up the others when the attack hit. Were they able to escape? I tried to fight off the soldiers with a skinning knife...

I've deleted my Alliance characters since.

Comentario de 315117

I like to think of myself as a level-headed person and I understand that Blizzard intentionally design quests so that you can support either the Horde or the Alliance to a fairly equal degree...

But this quest filled me with murder frenzy.
Well done Blizzard. I want to tear the Alliance limb from limb.

Comentario de Enthorn

God this quest was sad. Reading about the self-sacrifice in everyone's last words before they finally depart into the spirit world... very, very sad. Really nice quest done up by Blizzard. Don't miss it. (Chances are if you're reading this though, you haven't missed it.)

This quest makes even me sad, and I'm Alliance. I really wish it didn't have to be done. Now there's going to be more hate between players, and that's definitely going to get us far...

Comentario de 388931

Storyline is storyline. The Horde and Alliance are supposed to be enemies. It's World of WARcraft after all.

This quest is just one of many that serves to underscore that.

Comentario de Liri

Tolkfan put General Hawthorne's words up under his description. Sounds like ether his men lied to him about what they did, or he is.

Comentario de 748556

Yeah, I know. And in a way I feel it was a pretty good idea for Blizzard to make a quest like this. But there's nothing really wrong with feeling some sort of sadness for the other side. A lot of Horde players did that in Northrend during that "Avenge Me!" quest.

Comentario de 4dehorde

This quest shows the true colors of the Alliance. I don't care if the Alliance general gave orders to let civillians escape. Its plain to see here those troops didn't try to spare anyone. What really got to me was Yonada's final moments. She died trying to protect little children. I went into a bloodrage after seeing this. I hunted down every last looter in the ruins. Forget killing 8 for the quest, I must have killed over 25. Then I went to Forward Command and Fort Triumph, and killed everyone there too. Among the dead was Hawthorne. Imagine my delight when I got the quest to kill him again. I never liked the Alliance before, but I NEVER thought they'd commit such a massacre. Now, wherever I go, I leave dead Alliance in my wake. Avenge Taurajo!

Comentario de ryusai

Conversation with General Hawthorne, on an Alliance character :

What is your name, <class>? <player>?

Welcome to the Barrens. You are standing at the vanguard of our most important operation on this continent. I would be honored if you were to lend us your strength.

Tell me what happened at Taurajo.

Ah yes, our assault on the Horde town of Taurajo. I struggled with the implications of the decision.

Taurajo was admittedly what you might call a 'soft target,' primarily a hunters' camp. Still, it had been used to recruit, equip, and train Horde infantry for many years.

When our scouts reported that Taurajo's most dangerous units were out on the hunt, we had to act quickly.

We sacked the town?

<Hawthorne wrinkles his brow.>

I would prefer not to use the term 'sacked,' but yes, the attack went off flawlessly. We removed Taurajo from the equation, confiscated its arms, and destroyed its smithing facilities. The assault gave our forces considerable breathing room and knocked the enemy off balance.

Nonetheless, during the assault, I instructed my men to leave a gap open in our lines...

Why did you do that?

Taurajo had a significant civilian population. I wanted to ensure that they could escape the fighting, and many did, finding refuge in the north.

There are some, even in Alliance High Command, who argued that I let an opportunity slip away. That I should've taken hostages. But I don't see the value in those sort of terror-tactics.

Hear me out, <player>: I want this war to end someday. It won't ever stop if we butcher or imprison civilians.

I just pray that there are those on the other side who see things as I do.

Comentario de ryusai

According to this Horde quest, Hawthorne requested Wildhammer gryphon riders to firebomb Taurajo during the night attack...

He wanted civilians to escape the fighting but ordered drunken dwarves to firebomb from the skies... Pretty paradoxical I say...

"Hey, horde cows ! Look, you can escape if you go into this gap between my soldiers who are ex-criminals from the Stormwind Stockades, but before, you have to dodge firebombs launched by not-so-sober Wildhammer gryphon riders, and during night-time !"

Comentario de 748556

I suppose that all the citizens of the Alliance who were massacred by the Horde don't matter in your eyes. The Gilneans just deserved to have their home invaded and then have their city Plagued. What exactly did the night elves at Maestra's Post do wrong? And Lor'danel? Really, the night elves are trying to recover from the damage done to Darkshore, and the Shatterspear trolls get all riled up because Garrosh told them to. But I guess we're heartless bastards for destroying the Shatterspear trolls in retalliation.

Comentario de EternalVendetta7

You guys are being so overdramatic and biased. Did you forget a little town in Hillsbrad called Southshore? How about an outpost in Ashenvale known as Silverwind Refuge. Just saying the Horde aren't angels either people; try to see things from both sides like a civilized person instead of hating X faction because you play Y. This is wowhead not thottbot.

Comentario de 748556

That is debatable.

He may have called in the bombers, he may not have. He may have requested they bomb the village after the villagers leave. The soldiers may have requested the bombers. Maybe the bombers came by themselves?

I don't believe he requested them. In my mind they were most likely brought in after many villagers escaped.

Comentario de 4dehorde

The Horde has never gone out of their way to slaughter children, but the Alliance troops here did just that.

Comentario de Rankkor

@Marathan on southshore just about everyone escaped, considering how fenris island is FULL of survivors, to the point that on this quest and this quest shows just how many of them left, wich is pretty much the whole damn town.

on Silverpine, there were no children, or inocents. That was a war front. The alliance invaded horde lands, and the horde repelled them, simple as that. Mess with the bull and you get the horns.

there were no "inocents or childrens" of the alliance on gilneas simply because at the moment of the horde invasion, Gilneas was NOT a part of the alliance. I should remind you that their jerkass leader said this gem of a quote to Terenas shorly after the second war was over:

Damn the orcs, damn the Alliance, and damn you! The last thing Gilneas needs is sponges from other nations drawing from our resources, Dalaran wizards meddling with our affairs, and someone else's enemies killing our soldiers! Gilneas is its own nation and it always will be. This is the last time I'll ever talk to you, Terenas, so I hope you were listening

(Taken from Genn's article on wowpedia)

so this was simply the horde attacking a nation with a considerable military presence, and a rather dangerous enemy of the forsaken (worgens have been a threat to the forsakens for the past 6 years) rather than them attacking a nation of the alliance. The gilneans rejoined the aliance AFTER this invasion.

on New Andorhal there were no children either. The alliance and horde were trying to conquer the zone and they had only military presence there to push the other away. This was simple combat, where soldier fought soldier, that's war and in war there are casualties. Its not the same as attacking a civilian town full of non-combatants.

on ashenvale theres silverwing refuge, wich was the main base of operation of the sentinels, again another military target, as oposed to a civilian outpost.

on the broken front, indeed that was very dishonorable ( I hate that quest) but again those were soldiers, not civilians, and the commanding officer (Sky-reaver Krom) was chewed out by Garrosh and the Warchief, as well as demoted of his command after the northrend campaign.

Stonetalon was also dishonorable but the druids in the grove were neutral (there were tauren druids as well as night elven ones) and even then, the guy responsible was harsly punished (with his life)

wich leads us back to: Taurajo

A civilian town, with children, and lots of non-combatants. Primarily a hunter's camp, full of (duh) hunters that brought food and natural resourses to the rest of the tauren tribes. Attacked cowardly at night, with siege tanks, drunk wildhammer griphon riders (Don't question me on the "Drunk" part, this quest shows that wildhammers love to fight dead-drunk) and ex-convicts, during the night, while the hunters were out, and the only people in the town were civilians who coudn't fight back.

king's honor my ass.

Comentario de Lorex

WHY PPL SO SAD ! there gone be burgers for every one ! btw i destroyed that place like 5 years ago pwned every npc was there and had a lot of burgers to ! and all this dead grunts on the ground guess this was so peacfull place just huntards

Comentario de BobNintendo

This quest legit brought me to tears, the first thing in a video game to make me do so. Maaan.

Comentario de 4dehorde

I think the biggest difference between what happened at Taurajo and the battles at Southshore and Hillsbrad Fields is that there was a much higher civillian casualty rate at Taurajo. It was more of a massacre than a battle. And I honestly do not believe Taurajo posed a threat to the Alliance invasion, while Southshore was a major threat to Forsaken and Horde interests in southern Lordaeron. A supply port and military staging ground, which Varian was intending to use for an invasion of Lordaeron before its fall.

I can understand Lady Jaina's new willingless to support the Alliance war effort. With a new warchief, aggressive in nature and still learning the ropes, she probably feels she has no choice. Though by ending the treaty I believe the Horde members who honored the agreement will feel betrayed, and rally to take up arms. As such because of what has happened, the new highway to the Southern Barrens and what Alliance troops did at Taurajo, the Horde will likely launch an all-out-assault on Theramore. In the end, Lady Jaina may have dug a grave, either for herself or Theramore. Though maybe Thrall will step in to save her. I think even after all this, they still consider each other friends, even if no longer having any chance at being allies as they preferred.

Some people may say that Hillsbrad is worse than Taurajo because the Forsaken were experimenting on prisoners of war. But as quests at the Sludge Fields reveal, it was intended to just be a prison camp. The warden there was mentally unstable and even experimented on some of his own guards. In the end, he is executed by a fellow Forsaken and a player (and a rather odd blood elf, but that's not relevant right now) for his crimes.

And it is true while at first the Forsaken only thought of the Horde as "tools to use", over time since the start of their alliance more and more Forsaken now see themselves as geniune members of the Horde, and are even proud of it too. Some see the Horde as outcasts, which they can relate too. Some orcs also share a sort-of-bond with the Forsaken. As the Forsaken were slaves of the Scourge, the orcs were slaves of the Burning Legion. And now they are both free. Some orcs feel obliged to help a similarly liberated people.

Comentario de 714139

I would love to see blizzard make a high quality cinematic about what took place here, but I doubt that will happen and we'll end up reading it in the next Knaaaaak novel. Not even a pixel was shown to memorialize the late High Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof! To all the fallen and heroes of Taurajo Camp: You will not be forgotten. May you all find solace in the embrace of the Earthmother and Elune (Mu'sha).

Comentario de 612185

Demonic corruption or not, the Horde almost committed genocide, and in the end it's not something everyone will forget very soon. But you do make some reasonable points. Daelin Proudmoore didn't live long enough for it to matter to much what he did to the Orcs, however I will admit that arriving and declaring war on the Orcs was a bit irrational. But he was a veteran of the Second War, where he saw countless people mercilessly killed by Orcs. If all your friends were attacked and killed by a group of angry lions, I don't think you'd give a cheery hello to every lion you saw after that.

Varian is hot headed, I agree. But his best friend was killed at the Wrath Gate by the Forsaken (who I'll get to later) so I can understand him being pissed off. However, declaring all out war against the Horde was a bit unnesescary. It's barely a war though. There are very little all out conflicts and Southern Barrens is really the only zone with complete Alliance vs Horde combat. But are you forgetting that it is actually a war zone? In war, there is casualities. Taurajo was a casuality. General Hawthorne was actually one of the greatest generals the Alliance ever had, showing mercy by letting the civilians escape, which I can't quite frankly see the Horde ever doing, yet understanding the nessescity of action by attacking the town, which I know for a fact was training young Horde soldiers. But instead of finding out the whole story, you murder him and hang him from a tree? Hmm, attacking people before considering the whole story, sounds a bit like your friends Daelin Proudmoore and Varian Wrynn doesn't it?

And the Forsaken. Our little corpses from up North, with methods so vile that even the warmonger Garrosh Hellscream disagrees with them. Those guys are just great. Southshore was just a quiet little town, trying to prevent the Forsaken from attacking them and what do they do? Decimate their town with blight, the plague that the rest of the Horde has forbidden them from using. And while you may argue that they all got out safely to Fenris Isle, as the gentleman below me has pointed out, 250 blight samples disagree. And those who did make it out alive to Fenris Isle were not safe for long when Sylvanas ordered the assault on them. They were so terrified by the Forsaken and their vindiction to kill them that they would willingly turn themselves into vicious worgen to save themselves. And even then, they were slaughtered utterly trying to cross the lake to get revenge on the Forsaken in Silverpine. And you want to know how the Forsaken one the Worgen-Forsaken war?
Spoilers.
By kidnapping the daughter of their leader and threatening to turn her in a Forsaken.

And you say Horde are the good guys.

Comentario de Pwnzoar

When I first came to the area, my heart cried out when I saw the blackened and smoking remains of Camp Taurajo. When I did this quest, it felt like a knife twisting in my soul. Death is too good for those who committed these acts.

Comentario de 4dehorde

A common misconception. While the quest may have had only 5 npcs to honor, the fact is out of 106 civilians that lived at Taurajo, only about a dozen survived. That is massacre, there is no other way around it. It is heartless, sick, and wrong to butcher unarmed innocents, no mattter what the circumstance. It cannot be claimed that what happened at Taaurajo was right. There is far too much evidence to say otherwise. Plus, there were other smaller Tauren camps scattered around the region that, according to the lore, suffered simular fates.

I don't listen to Drek'Thar. He is a traitor, and a traitor should not be taken seriously. Regardless of his reasons, he was content to sit back and watch an Alliance invasion, risking Horde lives, not just Forsaken, because of his personal feelings. If you want to be stubborn and prejudiced, fine, but when you are content to allow others to suffer because of it, you are wrong and not worth anyone's time.

As far as I know, it is a theory only that these supposed "250" blight slimes are former humans. I did the quests there, and I know it is far more likely they are just spawned from the blight, not formed from mutated humans.

Comentario de 4dehorde

You don't understand the whole story. Hawthorne my have had good intentions, but his troops did not follow orders and butchered Taurajo. He was still responsible because the murderers were his soldiers. I can respect Hawthorne for his intentions, but intentions were not enough. The Horde acted accordingly in my view. And killing the man responsible for a massacre is nothing like being a madman bent on genocide. You cannot make that comparrison.

Lets look at two more Alliance crimes. Blowing up the goblin ship. Okay, now that was stupid and wrong. The Bilgewater Cartel was neutral, and had immense tech power and knowledge to give to any ally. When the Alliance attacked them unprovoked, they forced a powerful people right into the Horde's arms.

And now, for that little stunt they pulled on Thrall. Oh yes, he is an orc and an important person to the Horde. So that makes it alright to kidnap him and prevent him from saving the world for everyone? No it doesn't. The Alliance endangered the Horde, themselves, and all of Azeroth with their recklessness.

Now the Forsaken. It is well known that Southshore was not just a "quiet little town". It was a bustling supply port and military staging ground for the Alliance. The Forsaken attacked and knocked out an Alliance threat to their empire. And you can't compare it to Taurajo. Taurajo was a massacre, almost no one survived, while quests reveal hundreds survived Southshore and Hillsbrad Fields. I never said all got out alive, but most did. And killing the worgen crossing the river was not a crime. This is war, and those worgen were armed and dangerous fighters. You also seem to forget it was the Alliance that started this whole war in Lordaeron. Every action taken by the Forsaken in Silverpine and Hillsbrad was self-defense.

You don't have to like the fact the Alliance lost, but they did. And I really don't like it that the Alliance tried to stop a shaman from saving the world, blew up a neutral and defenseless ship, and massacred a town of unarmed innocents, but they did.

I can't say I really agree with raising the dead like they did on Fenris Isle, but you have to remember at that time the Alliance was on the attack and the Forsaken needed to bolster their numbers fast. I'm not defending that, I'm just saying I understand the reason the Forsaken did it.

You don't have to like the fact the Alliance lost in Lordaeron, but they did. And I really don't like it that the Alliance tried to stop a shaman from saving the world, blew up a neutral and defenseless ship, and massacred a town of unarmed innocents, but they did.

Comentario de 819447

What do you mean the Alliance started the war in Lordaeron? It started because the Horde invaded Gilneas and Silverpine Forest, taking over Pyrewood and forcing Ambermill into hiding. La Batalla por Trabalomas Southshore didn't happen at that point, all of the war in Lordaeron and Kalimdor is the Alliance defending against Horde expansionism.

Infestación humana
Yes, the Horde is so kind to beat humans into submission before sending them off to a concentration camp to be worked to death and raised as an army.

Quae confía en ti
As Quae says
"The plague took our friends and family, but it was the Forsaken that took Phin. They're just as bad as the Scourge. I'll destroy every one of them with my own hands if I have to."

Southshore was the bigger tragedy.

Comentario de 4dehorde

You can quote all the quests you want, it is still doesn't prove your points. My info is direct from Blizzard and the lore. Only about a dozen survivors escaped, that is fact. I've been to those two camps and seen things for myself. I've done all the quests involving Taurajo. Over a hundred civilians called Taurajo home. Since so few survived, it simply cannot be said the Alliance gave them a chance to escape. I told you, all evidence suggests those troops disobeyed Hawthorne's orders and conducted a massacre. While the Forsaken focused on destroying the actual towns, the Alliance focused on taking lives. That makes Taurajo far worse, and there is no shirking from the truth. The journal of Clerk Horrace Whitetead proves most people in both Southshore and Hillsbrad escaped before the Forsaken assaults. In Taurajo, it was at night, the tauren and orcs were sleeping, then awoke to see their homes ablaze and their countrymen being slaughtered.

Comentario de 820315

I'm glad to see somebody who can defend the Alliance with reasonable claims.

People say that Taurajo was just a quiet little town that was picked on by Alliance bullies. The same goes for Southshore. In truth, they were both training camps for young soldiers that were targeted as important targets. They were not completely innocent and neither one of them deserved the fates they got.

That's all I want to reply to. I do agree with you, Taurajo was a training ground, and Southshore did act like that. But I feel that the Forsaken destroyed Southshore because of the Alliance's invasion of Lordaeron. I'm not entirely sure of when Southshore was destroyed, but I see two points here. 1) The Alliance is invading Lordaeron, so the Forsaken want to destroy a valuable port of theirs. That makes complete sense from the Forsaken side. If Southshore was before the Alliance started the invasion, then either the Forsaken knew it was going to happen and destroyed Southshore for the same reasons, or they wanted to reinforce their hold over what they consider to be their home. It makes sense for them to want to strengthen their presence in Lordaeron.

I do ask, though, please do not blame the entire Horde over some of the things the Forsaken do. Some of the stuff they do is morally wrong and I hate it, yes, but I strongly dislike being blamed for some of the crimes they commit, considering the fact I play as a troll and not an undead.

Comentario de Fojar38

In World of Warcraft, there's a phenomenon known as gamescale that needs to be taken into account when considering lore. For example, Stormwind is the largest city in the world, with approximately 200,000 inhabitants in lore, but in game, there's only about 250 NPC's give or take. This is because it's not possible for Blizzard to accurately portray how many people live there because of the limitations of the World of Warcraft game engine.

Hence, while there may be a dozen NPC's who are Taurajo refugees, there are more than that in lore. Everything is scaled down in World of Warcraft from the numbers that actually exist in lore.

That's also why we know that there were more than three casualties at Taurajo despite the fact that we only lay three NPC's to rest.

There's no direct source saying which attack caused more casualties between Taurajo and Southshore, but given what we know I would argue that more were killed at Southshore on account of the fact that the Forsaken deliberately struck down anyone who fled. We can see this confirmed in the Journal of Clerk Horrace Whitestead.

Many of the farmers and residents of Hillsbrad fled. Some attempted to venture east to Arathi Highlands. They never made it. Slaughtered before they reached Thoradin's Wall.

We know that a good chunk of those who made it to Silverpine were also killed until they were rescued by the Worgen.

By contrast, both Alliance and Horde acknowledge the fact that there was a gap in the Alliance line at Taurajo, and Tauren survivors acknowledge that if it weren't for that gap, they wouldn't have been able to escape. While you may argue that the gap wasn't enough, or that it was poorly conceived, both factions acknowledge the effort.

No such effort existed at Southshore; quite the opposite in fact, we have multiple sources indicating that the Forsaken explicitly wanted everyone dead so that they can raise them.

Comentario de 4dehorde

There was no "gap". Hawthorne may have ordered it, but it wasn't done, and a massacre was conducted. There is far too much evidence suggesting this to say otherwise.

Comentario de 4dehorde

Would you like to provide a source that says the Horde killed everyone? Quests and other sources reveal, unlike Taurajo, most survived Southshore and Hillsbrad.

Comentario de 4dehorde

@RIverstyx--- I'm glad you could control yourself, because after the Taurajo quests I couldn't. I couldn't let them get away with it.

Comentario de 4dehorde

Taurajo was a massacre of terrible proportions. That is my honest view of what happened here, and I am entitled to it. Hawthorne may have had good intentions, but in the end, his troops set out to kill anyone they could in the village. The high number of casualties and the low number of survivors attests to this. It didn't matter if the people were armed soldiers or defenseless peace loving townsfolk. No one was spared in this attack. An excessive amount of force was used too. Deploying an army with siege equitment backed by flying machine bombers seems to be quite a bit overdoing it against a small village with no more than several to a dozen guards with no vehicilar support. Taurajo and its victims will never be forgotten and I hope people on both sides will come to recognize the horrors that took place here

Comentario de Fojar38

If both sides are to recognize what happened at Taurajo as negative, then both need to recognize what happened at Southshore as negative as well.

Also, you need to take into account gamescale. You're accounting for the number of survivors purely based on how many NPC's there are at camp Una'fe, when you need to keep in mind that everything is scaled down in WoW. If we're going to go purely by NPC count, then there were only four casualties in total at Taurajo because there are only four bodies. I don't think that this is correct, nor do I think that there were only a few survivors. The refugees from Taurajo even acknowledge the gap in the lines that they used to escape, although they attribute that to luck rather than an intentional act.

Were civilians killed? Yes. Civilians were also killed when the Horde attacked Gilneas, Hillsbrad, and Ashenvale. It's part of war, and it's one of the reasons why war is such a dirty business.

What I dislike about Taurajo is that the Alliance used some pretty harsh tactics, and while the Horde can do that, specifically the Forsaken (No offense to them, of course, I love Forsaken.), "Two wrongs don't make a right", as they say. Some villagers did get away, of course, but more humans from Hillsbrad were killed in the long run than Taurajo villagers because of how the human refugees immediately took up arms against the Forsaken. I'm not saying they shouldn't, of course, I would have done it too, but the Alliance saw no point in killing the Taurajo villagers that escaped since they didn't pick up weapons and start fighting after the village was destroyed. Some may have, but I'm not too sure.

@rankorr--- So the Alliance did all this before Cataclysm? That makes it even more criminal! So much for Varian's so-called "peace treaty" in The Shattering, eh?

Comentario de 4dehorde

@RIverstyx--- I'm glad you could control yourself, because after the Taurajo quests I couldn't. I couldn't let them get away with it.

Comentario de Eziwolf

Saddest quest I ever made. My first character was a tauren, almost every character I have is a tauren. I spent here hours questing before Cata.
I hate alliance so much since this quest. Now I can understand Clarissa's hatred for those filthy allies. See Clarissa

Taurens are by far my favorite race in the game. When I did this quest on my Tauren hunter alt...I needed vengeance.

I grabbed my 80 and burnt Fort Triumph to the ground over the course of several hours.

I don't even role play.

Comentario de 4dehorde

Taurajo was a massacre, plain and simple. And the Alliance is trying to cover up a war crime, because they want the illusion to remain that everything they do is "righteous".

Comentario de Gorta

Don't go as much as to say they're retaliating for Taurajo, the forsaken don't really care about the horde. (I'm forsaken, don't get wrong idea)

There is no honor in the vicious slaughter of civilians. The only honor done at Taurajo was honoring the fallen. May the winds carry them swiftly to their ancestors.

The bottom line is, Alliance supporters can't condemn Southshore and overlook Taurajo without looking like hypocrites.

Having a Forsaken main, I felt some pretty good satisfaction seeing her fall.

all of the war in Lordaeron and Kalimdor is the Alliance defending against Horde expansionism.

So the Alliance invasions of Silverpine and the Barrens is a self-defense move by the Alliance?

Alot of them lived. Some got jumped by Quilboar or plants but that's not the Alliance's fault.

That's like saying the Romans didn't kill the prisoners in the arena because the lions did the mauling.

Hordies get all up in arms over 5 dead npcs?

Its called gamescaling. In reality over a hundred perished at Taurajo.

250 humans who were turned into blight slimes

Source? Sorry, but there is nothing to even suggest the blight slimes are former humans.

What do you mean the Alliance started the war in Lordaeron?

It goes back to even before vanilla. The Alliance started raiding Forsaken holdings years before Cataclysm.

My point is, its not as black and white as some people like to think or pretend. Some poeple try to justify Taurajo with Southshore, but one evil does not excuse another.

Honor the fallen and avenge them too.

Comentario de 939051

One of the saddest quests for me. Especially Krulmoo's comment. He tried to defend with Skinning Knife. :(

Comentario de Novahawk

Quest appears to be bugged in 4.3.2. I'm unable to use the totem anywhere, I've tried everything. Tried using it all around the NPCs, tried clicking on the NPCs and then using the totem, everything. Nothing works.

Comentario de Rumbuddy

What really killed me was when Krulmoo waved goodbye and Omusa flew away on his ghost pet wyvern :-(

Comentario de ZaneValore

Ok, this is my first time playing as Horde, normally I'm a Night Elf Rouge but this time I decided to go Tauren Druid and I just finished this quest not more then 15 minutes ago..... I would have posted sooner but I was busy killing looters in a short Blood Rage.

Congrats Blizzard you have managed to flip a once loyal Alliance player to strictly playing Horde.

FOR THE HORDE!

Comentario de LoreFanatic

Sad, but the alliance was slightly better then most horde attacks. Many people talk about how with Southshore there were a lot of survivors, but the forsaken didn't want there to be survivors, unlike the Alliance. Also the gap in there lines was Important, but they also attacked slowly, this as so they could get any Horde troops or Trainees to come out and fight them, allowing civilians to escape.
I get why they need to show the alliance being $%^&s, so that all the horde characters can realize they are victims. I feel Northwatch hold and this was created purely to make horde players hate the Alliance. It might have been to effective as many horde players now only play horde.

Comentario de alt0ir

This quest killed me inside.
My first and main character is a tauren druid and I spent a lot of time in the Barrens.It is my favorite zone from vanilla.I remember spending a lot of time near this camp.When I did this quest I teared up.Also when I saw that they were a skinning and leatherworking trainers (which were my professions from the start) it killed me even more.

I boosted an ally dwarf shaman so I can see their quests and get that double agent achievement.When I did this quest (I was doing new Cata quests) I went to the store and was one click away from turning that dwarf into an orc (which was my plan from the start).I think I will get the double agent achievement when WoD hits and then I am switching back to the Horde.

$%^& the Alliance...so much.

Descripción

Ya que nos hemos librado de la amenaza más apremiante, ¿podrías ayudarnos con otro asunto escabroso?

Nosotros, los tauren, no enterramos a nuestros muertos. Preparamos el cuerpo para su regreso con los elementos y lo colocamos en emplazamientos sagrados dedicados a su sepultura. Aquellos que fueron asesinados en la masacre de Taurajo no han recibido un funeral, y me preocupa que los soldados de la Alianza ajenos a nuestro pueblo quemen los cuerpos antes de que se hayan realizado los rituales apropiados.

<nombre>, lleva este tótem a Taurajo y realiza los oficios para Krulmoo, Dranh, Ionada y Omusa. Ellos... no consiguieron salir de allí.
