4. Gul’dan in Warlords of Draenor
Do you remember the Warlords of Draenor expansion? It started with quite a bang.
Garrosh Hellscream has managed to travel to the alternate timeline of Draenor with the help of a dragon and prevent the orcs from being corrupted by demons. Nevertheless, the orcs persist with their invasion plans.
Garrosh ensures that the Dark Portal is constructed, thus connecting the alternate Draenor with “our” Azeroth. The Iron Horde invades Azeroth and becomes a big problem.
We manage to push back the Iron Horde before we storm through the portal ourselves to close it from the other side.
But how exactly do we do that? Correct: We free the beings that are imprisoned in the portal chambers. They are bound by runes, and the magic of their bodies is used to fuel the portal.
One of the people we free in the process is Gul’dan. Yes, the Gul’dan. The orc responsible for countless deaths, terrible wars, and the invasion of the original Horde in our timeline.
Khadgar and all the heroes of Azeroth know what a danger Gul’dan is and what horrors he will unleash if given free rein.
But that doesn’t matter at this moment. In fact, nobody even comments on the fact that we have just freed the orc nicknamed “Incarnate of Darkness”.
Then we have to wonder if the great heroes like Khadgar are perhaps a bit “disaster-hungry” and secretly want some kind of apocalypse to threaten Azeroth again.
