The Warsong Offensive is the main army of the Horde in Northrend, once led by Garrosh Hellscream and his second-in-command Varok Saurfang during the war against the Lich King. They have set up their base at Conquest Hold, in the Borean Tundra. These allied forces are also represented in the battlegrounds located on the Strand of the Ancients and Isle of Conquest, where they wage war against the Valiance Expedition. Together with the other expeditionary Horde forces in Northrend, they form the Horde Expedition.
Following the fall of the Lich King, the majority of its troops left the frozen continent to return to Orgrimmar, guided by Garrosh himself, who handed the command of the Offensive forces left behind to his second-in-command. Since the return of Saurfang in Kalimdor, and later his death during the Fourth War, it is unknown who succeeded him as the leader of the Warsong Offensive.
History[]
Wrath of the Lich King[]
Borean Tundra[]
The Warsong Hold is a great, spiky fortress that the Horde built for the Warsong Offensive,[1] but on a nerubian site. Led by Garrosh Hellscream, they defended the Hold and fought the Scourge in the tundra. The fortress is used as the headquarters for the Offensive, and from here Garrosh led all Horde actions in Northrend.
Strand of the Ancients[]
They fought the Valiance Expedition for the titan database in the Strand of the Ancients.
Dragonblight[]
Overlord Agmar led the Hordes force in the region from Agmar's Hammer. The Offensive fights the Scourge's nerubians. They accept the Taunka into the Horde. They attempt to create the dialog with the dragons but the past actions of the Dragonmaw clan make it difficult. Without a problem, they made contact with the local tuskarr.
When the Alliance led by Bolvar Fordragon attacked the main entrance of Icecrown at Angrathar the Wrathgate, the Horde's forces led by Dranosh Saurfang came to assist them. The Lich King took the life of Dranosh, and the betrayal Grand Apothecary Putress put an end to the offensive, killing most of the attackers. Bolvar was presumed deceased.
Grizzly Hills[]
From Conquest Hold, the Horde must fight the vrykul, Wolf Cult and the Venture Company. However, Conqueror Krenna is a tyrannical commander, and her sister decides to kill her to take her place as Conqueror.
Isle of Conquest[]
Overlord Agmar led a vast army to claim the island for its resources.
Icecrown[]
During the fights in the Northrend, a lot of warriors of the Horde had been imprisoned as slaves into the Pit of Saron. The Warsong forces succeed in saving Sylvanas Windrunner and her troops when she escapes from the Halls of Reflection.
From Orgrim's Hammer, the Horde under the order of Korm Blackscar tried to take Ymirheim, a vrykul village, and to eradicate the Scourge troops in the valley despite discord with the Alliance.
They fought in Icecrown Citadel against the Scourge and the Alliance on the Rampart of Skulls. They help the Horde adventurers in Light's Hammer. When Varok Saurfang hears the scream of Bolvar Fordragon, he led the Warsong forces on the Orgrim's Hammer to attempt to save him. However, they fall upon the Skybreaker in the sky.
The Shattering[]
Following the fall of the Lich King, the Warsong Offensive forces in Warsong Hold managed to retake temporarily Garrosh's Landing. However, when Cairne Bloodhoof and Garrosh Hellscream were taking some of their people back to Kalimdor, the kvaldir attacked again. The Horde escaped by ship, but the landing fell once again in the cursed vrykul's hands.[2][3]
Cataclysm[]
Following the ascension of Garrosh Hellscream to the rank of Warchief, the Warsong Offensive was led by Varok Saurfang.
The Mor'shan Rampart is held by troops affiliated with the Warsong Offensive.
