Said occupant would have a potent effect on the orcs of the valley he crashed into.

One of them is that Oshu'gun's name was the Genedar, and during the vessel's crash, an occupant was ejected.

But with our trip to Draenor, we're learning details that we didn't previously know. By the time we arrived on Outland, the great dimension-spanning ship that crashed in Nagrand, the diamond-vessel Oshu'gun, already been stripped of much of its identifying characteristics by Ethereal miners and places like Shadowmoon Valley and Farhalon were so utterly changed as to be unrecognizable. The arrival of the draenei to the world we know call Draenor after them is a known event, but that doesn't mean we know all there is to know about it. Each exists in a kind of opposition to the other, and the choices of one affect how the other develops. Just as the draenei have had to choose how they will adapt to a new world, the orcs of the Shadowmoon Clan were forced to contend with a power they did not understand. Do they fight to hold on to the world they were forced to leave and its ancient ways, or do they adopt new ones to become more fully part of the world they find themselves on? And how many times have they had to make this choice?Īs you quest through the zone, you come to discover that Shadowmoon Valley wasn't chosen as a draenei holy spot through random chance - the interaction between the draenei and the orcs in this area presages developments in other parts of the world. Far from the ragtag band of embittered survivors clinging on to a crashed dimension ship, the draenei of Warlords are a proud society of expatriated beings who are caught between conflicting impulses. One of the most fascinating things for me about the unfolding lore in this first zone is the new vision of the draenei it provides us. Specifically for the Shadowmoon Valley zone.
