During the Third War, Thrall's forces combined the features of a blacksmith and a lumber mill to create the War Mill, which functions both as a drop-off point for peons carrying lumber and a place where improvements are researched.

In this structure, orc smiths and troll craftsmen work side-by-side to improve the weapons and armor of the Horde armies. The attack and armor upgrades researched here affect grunts, headhunters, tauren, raiders, wyverns, and catapults.

An invention of the crafty trolls, this structure maximizes potential by serving as a mill for lumber as well as a forge for weapons smithing. Here weapons and armor are tirelessly reworked for maximum efficiency. Trolls here can also create one of their most useful fortifications: spiked barricades.
