A bump for a fierce horde warband

Why does everyone think we are just a warband D: We may have a reputation of crushing skulls, riding down hapless humans, shaving Dwarves and riding draenei like the goats they are...

but below that, we are infact a deeply spiritual, social tribe with strong shamanistic beliefs!

...we Kill alliance to pass the time. (and aquire beer)

I had a lot of fun with you guys being the awkward elf among wolves!

If you really want to be a wolf, you roll Alliance. Orcs just ride them. And wear their skin. <.<

Bring it, wannabe-wolf!

There's two things I want to know...

1. Who wrote the script for your new recruitment video?

2. Who voiced it (and where's he from)?


Because, I must say, I'm in my last year in my Radio Broadcasting course and I am very impressed with the voice-acting! The video part itself is awesome but the voice really added something epic! Big kudos!

Im 90% sure that is our esteemed leader Kozgugore that did the voicing. Im not sure where he is from however.

I took care of both indeed, and I'm simply from mainland Europe. I just had to put up a bit of a silly accent. My thanks though!

Picture update(!) from our first foray into Pandaria, together with allies Banner of the Bloodhoof and Darkspear Tribe:

"North of the Blade's Edge Mountains. West of the Fields of Farahlon. Treacherous sleet and numbing frost beneath a stirring blood-red sun. Land all but surrendered to the monstrous mountain giants, brutish ogres and fierce worgs of Magoth's pack. Land that no Warlord had claimed - land that no Warlord could claim. This desolate, wild land was set aside for the remnants of mighty Githya's battle-hardened warband - the frozen wasteland would have claimed them all within weeks had they not been made of sterner stuff.

These were simpler times - times when orcs rose from nothing to forge their legacy. Kraag, Son of Githya fought and tamed Magoth, earning the title of Wolfking - the alliance between Redblade and Worg would last generations. Following in the Line of the Wolfking would be honorable heroes such as Gruthgar the Ragged, an orc known for hewing enemies in half with his mighty greataxe; brother-warriors Hukraz and Skagluk the Giantkiller, battling rival Clans and gronn alike; and wise Grugna Longhand, the first Matriarch of the Clan.

Clan Redblade, though always small, gathered a reputation for their honor and ferocity. This reputation remained intact even after the Line of Wolfkings broke - the chaos ended by the Oracles handing the mantle of Chieftain to Mruthgor the Shaman-King, a powerful Spiritwalker bearing a fabled Scepter. Beneath the Greathall that Mruthgor constructed as a monument to his rule, dark rituals brought about the first of the feared Varog'Gor - more beast than orc.

When daemon came to tempt the orcs, Clan Redblade sought to stand alongside the Frostwolf. A traitorous usurer would seal the Clan's demise, however - Akesh the Poisoner murdered Chieftain Grenth Stonebrow and dissolved the Clan into the ever-expanding Horde.

The spirit of the Clan lives on in the Red Blade tribe, but many of the tales of old are still known - in the Annals maintained by the tribal Thur'ruk, and in the tales told around campfires even now. Tales of harsh lands, great orcs, mighty victories, crushing defeats and a small, embattled Clan that survived in defiance of its many enemies. Some of the tales have been lost in time and legend - others are yet to be told.

These are the Tales of Clan Redblade."

((What is the Tales of Clan Redblade Story Contest?
In short, a creative writing competition themed to the Clan Redblade era of the tribe's backstory lore - a period upon Draenor spanning centuries.

The tribe's Annals remain unclear and incomplete in places, meaning there is a great deal of freedom to create new characters and settings, tell a new tale using established Clan-era characters (like Kraag or Mruthgor), or retell an existing story in a new way (Skagluk and the Talbuk-Riders, or the Treachery of Akesh). The theme is thus not meant to be restrictive, but rather providing a focus for an exciting period in Red Blade history - be bold, be creative and tell your story.

New tales can be taken as a canonical addition to Clan Redblade lore either as a newly-unearthed part of the Annals, a long-forgotten tale or fiction written by your character. The tribe's history is a common background for us all, and I encourage campfire and tale-telling roleplay incorporating both existing and new tales and characters.

The contest will remain open for the month of January 2013. Following the contest's close, entries will be judged by a panel of three judges (all of whom can write stories, but are ineligible for prizes). The best story will receive a generous in-game gold reward, with runner-up receiving half the amount. There are no length or style limits, and it is possible to submit more than one entry.

Picture update(!) from the latter half of our travels in Pandaria, including the Jade Fist Campaign:
