PREEMPTIVE VERSION OF THRALL ARMINIUS ARC RETCON
BASICALLY A REWORK OF THE DEMO CAMPAIGN INTO SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL
STAPLING EXODUS OF THE HORDE WITH THE EXTRA TROLLS VS MURLOC THING ONTO THE END OF IT, IN SOME REJIGGED FORM
1.
A) SHREK AKA THRALL GOES THROUGH WOODS TO A MERC CAMP, HIRES SOME TROLLS AND OGRES
YOUR "SELECT THRALL AND RIGHT CLICK ON THE CIRCLE OF POWER" TUTORIAL TAKES PLACE
B) THRALL GOES TO AN ALMOST UNDEFENDED HUMAN VILLAGE AND WARCRIMES IT.
C) HUMAN ARMY SHOWS UP, MASSACRES THE MERCS, THRALL HAD BAILED -- CUTSCENE OR INGAME
D) CUTSCENE -- BLACKMOORE THE DICKHEAD NOBLE IN HUMAN ARMY IS PLAYING HERO AS THE GUY WHOSE FIEF THIS VILLAGE WAS SHOWS UP WITH HIS TROOPS
WOULD BE FUNNY IF IT WAS GARITHOS
BLACKMOORE SHOWBOATS ABOUT HOW LAWLESS AND DANGEROUS THESE BORDERLANDS ARE,
AND HOW THE THREAT OF THE HORDE IS NOT GONE EVEN IF THE RULERS SAY IT IS,
AND HOW THE KINGDOM NEEDS A STRONG HAND AND A BETTER RULER THAN THE ELDERLY KING AND THE INCOMPETENT, INEXPERIENCED PRINCE WHO WILL SOON REPLACE HIM.
GARITHOS SAYS NAH I'VE SEEN THE ORCS IN CAMPS AND THEY ARE PACIFIED. THE FEW OUT IN THE MOUNTAINS ARE JUST NEUTRAL HOSTILES, LIKE MURLOCS AND TROLLS.
BLACKMOORE DEPARTS, MEETS THRALL IN SECRET, CONGRATULATES ON A JOB WELL DONE BUT SAYS THE LOCAL NOBLES WILL NOT BE CONVINCED BY THE EQUIVALENT OF BANDIT RAIDS, THEY NEED TO SEE THE REAL GREENSKINS IN ACTION AND HE KNOWS WHERE THRALL CAN BUY SOME.

THRALL IS "CAPTURED" BY BLACKMOORES TROOPS AND BROUGHT TO AN INTERNMENT CAMP, ONE OF THE MANY IN THE REGION.
HAVING BEEN RAISED BY HUMANS, THRALL EXPECTS THE ORCS TO BE BLOODTHIRSTY WARRIORS BUT TO BE SMARTER AND MORE MORAL THAN HUMANS THINK, JUST LIKE HIMSELF
INSTEAD IT'S CHUG RESERVATION TIME.
THE DEMON BLOOD MALAISE HAD RUINED THE ORCS SEVERELY
THE OLDHEADS REMINISCE OF PAST GLORIES WITH ZERO REMORSE OVER THE MASSACRES
THERE'S NO NATION, JUST A DEFEATED ARMY
EVERYONE IS SWILLING CHEAP HOOTCH, ALLIANCE ORDERLIES ARE TRYING TO MAKE THEM FARM SO THEY DON'T STARVE AND BUST UP THE LIQUOR PRODUCTION. PLACE ISN'T EVEN THAT WELL GUARDED.
THRALL FINDS OUT SOME RELEVANT STUFF LIKE HOW THERE ARE ORCS STILL IN CONTACT WITH DEMONS AND NOT FUCKED UP, OUT IN ALTERAC MOUNTAINS
ALSO GROM HELLSCREAM BUT HE'S A RETARD AND WILL GET HIMSELF KILLED
NOBODY WANTS TO COME WITH HIM
THRALL FUCKS OFF IN THE DIRECTION OF ALTERAC

YEAH THERE'S BLACKROCK CLAN DUDES OUT IN ALTERAC. THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONING DEMON GATE THEY USE TO FACETIME ARCHIMONDE, REMEMBER?
BUT FROSTWOLVES ARE ALSO OUT THERE
SENT THERE FOR COWARDICE OF JUST WANTING TO SETTLE IN PLACE INSTEAD OF GOING FOR TOTAL HUMAN DEATH.
THRALL SAYS HE'S AN ENVOY FROM WARCHIEF GROM HELLSCREAM WHO'S UNITING THE HORDE TO DO THE BOOGIE ALL OVER AGAIN.
A BUNCH OF QUESTS TO PROVE HIMSELF, TO BE ADMITTED TO SEE THE CHIEFTAIN.
RAIDERS WITH ENSNARE PROVIDE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A HUNTING QUEST TO TEACH PLAYER HOW TO DO UNIT SURROUNDS OUT OF CC, A VERY USEFUL WARCRAFT 3 SKILL.
FROSTWOLVES HAVE SHAMMIES.
ANOTHER RPG QUEST BUT THEY TEACH THRALL SOME SHAMMIE FOUNDATIONS. SHAMANISM 101. SHAMMIES HAVE BLOODLUST. THAT'S HOW FROSTWOLVES HAD BEEN BEATING DEMON BLOOD WITHDRAWAL AFTER THE DARK PORTAL GOT NUKED. SAY IT INVOKES FIRE IN THE BLOOD, AND THAT DEMON BLOOD IS JUST AN ARTIFICIAL SUPER CONCENTRATED VERSION OF THIS ORGANIC FREERANGE BLOODLUST. THRALL SAYS IT FEELS LIKE HE'S DRUNK, MAKES HIM DUMB AND VIOLENT BUT MORE ENERGETIC. DOESN'T LIKE IT.
