World of Warcraft: Forever · Horde race

Orc

The orc race originated on the planet Draenor. A peaceful people with shamanic beliefs, they were enslaved by the Burning Legion and forced into war with the humans of Azeroth. Although it took many years, the orcs finally escaped the demons' corruption and won their freedom. To this day they fight for honor in an alien world that hates and reviles them.

4 racial abilities in Forever, and 3 Classic Era racials the Forever beta does not have. Each is shown with its Classic Era version where one exists.
