Welcome back to Lost Codex Legends!

Today, we explore the first part of Warchief Thrall's story! From his childhood days in the Durnholde arena, to rise of Warchief, to the Battle for Mount Hyjal, Thrall's story has been instrumental in the shaping of modern day Azeroth.

Join us today as we recap his Warcraft 3 tale and discuss his iconic, commanding presence in Orgrimmar during the Classic days!
