| Rise of the Horde | comment |
Rise of the Horde is a novel by Christie Golden, set in the Warcraft Expanded Universe. It tells of the events that happened on Draenor before Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, focusing mainly on the orcs, though the draenei show up quite a bit. It details how the orcs went from Proud Warrior Race Guys to The Horde. The main characters are Orgrim Doomhammer and Durotan, but Thrall provides the Framing Device. | |

Et Tu, Brute? | |
| Rise of the Horde / int_5037b961 | comment |
Et Tu, Brute?: Part of the reason Kil'jaeden hates Velen so much is that they were as close as brothers before the split, which makes their parting that much more bitter. Ner'zhul has a similar feeling when he discovers Gul'dan betrayed him. | |

Evil Makes You Monstrous: The orcs' skin turns greenish when they start using demonic magic, whether that specific orc actually used it or not. Orcs who drank Mannoroth's blood turn really green, their eyes turn red, and they become much more muscular. | |

Out-of-Character Alert | |
| Rise of the Horde / int_777baed3 | comment |
Out-of-Character Alert: Ner'zhul notes that Kil'jaeden's vitriolic hatred of the draenei is inconsistent with the behaviour of the other Draenor spirits, not the least because the ancestors do not harbour such resentments towards the living. He also notices that Kil'jaeden looks more like the draenei than one of the spirits he claims to be. | |

It's Personal: Kil'jaeden harbours a mean grudge against Velen and fantasises about destroying him utterly. Averted by Archimonde, who not only doesn't care what Velen's up to now, but suggests they leave him to it and focus on pursuing the Legions agenda rather than Kil'jaeden's petty grudge. | |

Doomed by Canon: Anyone who's played the Warcraft games and their MMO sequel will know the draenei are this close to being doomed to extinction, and that Ner'zhul's attempts to undo his mistakes are doomed to failure because otherwise orcish history past the events of the book wouldn't make sense. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Ner'zhul is placed in a powerless position where he becomes privvy to all the Shadow Council plans he will be unable to stop so Gul'dan can rub his failure in his former mentor's face. This allows him to discover the plot to forge a blood pact with Mannoroth and warn the clans not to drink the demon's blood. Of course, most of them do anyway, but Durotan and others like him refuse to. | |

Oh, Crap!: Thrall's reaction in the epilogue when he finds out that the Draenei have crashed on Azeroth, and have allied with the Alliance. The second half of the book is basically about the orcs massacring the draenei. This new development crushes Thrall's hopes for peace fairly effectively. | |

Alternately, Kil'jaeden was The Kirk (logical, but trusting Velen's input) , Archimonde was The Spock (also logical but always siding with his ambitions), and Velen was The McCoy (religious and compassionate). | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Rise of the Horde / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Velen is polite and cordial to Durotan and Orgrim when he meets them, arranged for his people to peacefully interact with the orcs whose planet they landed on and saves his people from total destruction. Ner'zhul is seen as this at the start, being revered by the orc clans for his connection to the spirits and the ancestors, and is probably as close as the orcs have to a unified leader; the only blotch on his copybook is that he wants a different kind of power that he doesn't have yet — that of true authority over the clans. This makes him an easy target for Kil'jaeden's machinations. Durotan joins in the orcish attacks on the draenei only on the basis of My Country, Right or Wrong, is disgusted by many of the darker practises that take place and eventually refuses to drink the Blood of Mannoroth when Ner'zhul sends an anonymous letter warning them all not to do it. | |
