The Orcs are the deuteragonists from the Warcraft franchise.
They were savage beasts much like their mythical counterparts, but as time progressed, the Orcs slowly began to reclaim their original status as a shamanistic society ruled by honor rather than bloodlust and would slowly but surely become a more benign Race.
After taking over Draenor, the Horde surged into Azeroth through the Dark Portal, launching a war against the native kingdoms. In response, the nations of Azeroth united to form the Alliance of Lordaeron, successfully driving back the invaders and capturing many of the remaining survivors. However, from the devastation emerged a young shaman named Thrall, who embraced the orcs' shamanistic heritage and rose to become their warchief during their most trying times. Thrall united the clans to establish a new Horde, guiding the orcs out of the Eastern Kingdoms they had initially invaded and towards the continent of Kalimdor. There, they liberated themselves from demonic influences and momentarily allied with other races of Azeroth to combat the Burning Legion's invasion. Aspiring to create a new life for themselves and the newly joined races of the Horde, the orcs established the nation of Durotar and built the grand city of Orgrimmar.
Orcs born in the hellish world of Draenor, were brought to Azeroth through the Dark Portal (Dark Portal) and forced to go to war with humans. Although few knew of their history, they were a shamanistic society in the world of Draenor. The noble clans of Orcs were corrupted by the Burning Legion and used as pawns in the invasion of Azeroth. After the war, they were imprisoned by humans and made slaves. The situation remained so until they were released by Thrall, who was able to join a rebellion against the Alliance. Led by young Thrall, they have regained their strength and honor. Now the Orcs are ready for the fight, not for reasons of conquest.
By the time World of Warcraft came into being, the Orcs had become (by in large) a structured society and although still feared warriors were not the savage killers they once were under demonic corruption, sadly in the aftermath of the Cataclysm many Orcs have began to regress back to a more savage lifestyle under the guidance of Garrosh Hellscream, yet even with these troubling developments most Orcs in Warcraft are far removed from the monsters they were in the original series.
The same can not be said for some Orc races out with what has become known as the Horde, however, such as the Blackrock Clan, who are piratical raiders and a scourge of humanity or the demonic Fel Orcs that Rule the Outland, and the Twilight Highlands.
