Warcraft: Lord of the Clans is a novel by Christie Golden based in Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft Universe. It was published by Pocket Books. The story of the novel was originally going to be used in the adventure game Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans until it was canceled. It is the second book released in the Warcraft Universe after Warcraft: Day of the Dragon. It is part of the Warcraft Expanded Universe.The book tells the tale of Thrall, a young orc orphaned by assassins who kill both his parents. After being found by a human named Blackmoore, Thrall is taken to his castle, where he is raised to fight in gladiatorial games to earn the alcoholic Blackmoore money. After escaping the castle with the help of a human girl, Taretha, Thrall travels to reunite the orcs.The book has an unofficial, relatively faithful, adaptation as a Warcraft III Custom Campaign, created by OutsiderXE, voiced mostly by AI and played as an Action RPG. An official playthrough can be watched here. | |

| Lord of the Clans / int_12f078f3 | comment |
Artistic License – Linguistics: The words in the Orcish phrase "Kagh! Bin mog g'thazag cha!" seem to match the English words, "Run! I will protect you!" one-to-one. Although this is not definitive proof that all Orcish phrases would work like that, it certainly suggests so, and that would be impossible with any real foreign language. | |

Red Right Hand: Amongst the orcs, Thrall's blue eyes mark him as untainted (relatively, as The Burning Crusade and Rise of the Horde later reveal that green skin already indicates some level of exposure to fel magic). | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Lord of the Clans / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Blackmoore has dozens of moments like this in his treatment of Thrall and Taretha Foxton. However, the standout example has to be executing Taretha and throwing her head at Thrall's feet to cruelly taunt and hurt him. Thanks to this, it is immensely cathartic when Thrall finally corners Blackmoore and puts an end to him. A more literal example occurs when Blackmoore mercilessly beats up a heavily wounded Thrall because his loss against an ogre in a gladiatorial match cost Blackmoore a lot of gold. To twist the knife further, Blackmoore then invites all the angry spectators who lost their bet on Thrall and have each of them savagely beat the helpless orc, who passed out long before the beatings finally stopped. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Lord of the Clans / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Thrall, after fighting through over dozen battles against increasing dangerous opponents in Gladiator Games, is pitted against an ogre while only using an Epic Flail. The narration notes is poor choice of weapon against an ogre. Exhausted, his attacks only make his much larger, stronger opponent angry and is nearly killed until the humans running the game intervene. Blackmoore tries fighting Thrall himself when confronted by him. Blackmoore is a nobleman who relies on others to fight for him and hasn't engaged in combat himself for years (not to mention he's had more than a few drinks). Thrall was raised to fight in Gladiator Games and his only loss was against the above mentioned ogre. Blackmoore dies. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters: Completely subverted. The main villains of the story are all human, and by the end of it, you're cheering Thrall on as he and the Horde storm Durnholde. At the same time, however, Thrall is well aware of humanity's capacity for good as demonstrated by Taretha and Sergeant, and when he sees the collective spirit of the human race during his shaman training, he finds that it's closer to his human friends than Blackmoore. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Lord of the Clans / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The original source for the plot was a Full Throttle-like game starring Thrall, which was then cancelled due to it not meeting Blizzard's quality standards. It was leaked in 2016. The original game had a lot more continuity nods to Warcraft II, and some of the major plot points were greatly revised in the book. There is no sign of sympathetic human characters such as Sergeant or Taretha in the game either. Thrall's personality (and Orcish culture in general) is also much closer to what the series would use from that point onwards than what's portrayed in the game. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Lord of the Clans / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: While Thrall is being used as a training subjects with other human trainees, an orc manages to break free of his chains and moves over to him, yelling at him which Thrall only interprets as an aggressive statement before the other humans subdue and kill the orc. As young Thrall didn't speak Orcish, he only learns much later from Grom by telling him what the Orc yelled that the orc was yelling at him to run and he would protect him, causing the orc to have been tragically killed by the other humans entirely pointlessly, likely assuming that the other humans were going to gang up on Thrall to hurt or kill him. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge | |
| Lord of the Clans / int_ceec4df5 | comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The big finale. Thrall is a tremendously mellow guy, for an orc, and even compared to a lot of humans. The measures necessary to get him up to this are damn near ridiculous. And horrifying. And if you do push him into this... well, he's a shaman, was trained as a gladiator for a good deal of his life, and he's Warchief of the Horde. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
| Lord of the Clans / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Blackmoore raised Thrall to be the perfect warrior who could lead the orc armies against the rest of the human Alliance. Thrall did eventually become the Warchief of the Horde... and then led his army against Blackmoore. | |

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Langston to a certain extent. Blackmoore is actually just a gigantic bully, but does too much evil to be considered sympathetic. | |

Adaptational Self-Defense | |
| Lord of the Clans / int_ed7f9671 | comment |
Adaptational Self-Defense: While the novel's depiction of humans is bad, the novel is set after two wars the orcs started first, and the orcs were still responsible for mass murder and enslavement of intelligent beings (the dragons). Even the current retcon paints the orcs as invading Azeroth because they very nearly destroyed their own world, which could have been avoided by refusing to cooperate with the Legion. | |

Big Sister Instinct: After Thrall was savagely beaten for losing in the arena, Taretha helped him escape Durnholde at great risk to herself. She also continued to slip him notes in military books throughout his slave years in the arena, giving Thrall his only consistent point of human love and kindness. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Lord of the Clans / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Blackmoore has been incredibly abusive to Thrall and Taretha for a good chunk of their lives, but both have also turned out to be good, compassionate people despite their awful circumstances. However, executing Taretha and throwing her head at Thrall's feet to try and break his spirit proves to be a horrible, horrible mistake on Blackmoore's part. | |
