The green-skinned orcs are one of the most prolific races of Azeroth. Born on the world of Draenor, the orcs were brought to Azeroth through the dimensional gateway known as the Dark Portal and waged war on the humans while under the influence of the Burning Legion.
The orcs once cultivated a noble, shamanistic society on Draenor. Tragically, the proud orc clans were corrupted by the Burning Legion and used as pawns in the Legion's invasion of Azeroth. The orcs managed to rebel, however, and they were ultimately able to help turn the tide against their demon masters. Led by the young Warchief Thrall, the orcs have reclaimed their strength and honor. The orcs moved from the Eastern Kingdoms to Kalimdor, and there they founded the nation of Durotar.
Now, the orcs stand ready to fight not for the sake of conquest, but for their very right of survival in their adopted world.

Also known as Shadow Moon clan, was led by the orc shaman Ner'zhul, and was the most powerful clan on Draenor prior to the world's destruction. Named for the Shadowmoon Valley in which it was based, the clan was very heavily influenced by shamanistic traditions, like all orcish clans at that time. Their way of shamanism is different than the other orcish shamans in that they use void magic instead of the water, fire, earth and air. Although the Shadowmoon clan practiced traditional orc shamanism, their leader, Ner'zhul practiced a much darker version of shamanism. His own shamanic practices were heavily influenced by Warlock magic, a result of Ner'zhul's trafficking with Kil'jaeden, a demon of immense power.

The Warsong clan is an orcish clan, formerly led by Grom Hellscream and by his son, the late Garrosh Hellscream. The clan's Warsong Outriders form the Horde faction in Warsong Gulch — where they are attempting to defend their logging operations in Ashenvale from the Silverwing Sentinels, a faction of night elves seeking to protect their ancestral forests. Additionally, the Warsong Offensive spearheads the Horde's assault against the Scourge in Northrend.

The Shattered Hand clan was named for an act of Sacrifice made by Kargath and his fellow orcs, that lead to a successful rebellion and freedom from slavery under the Ogres. Led by Kargath Bladefist, a former arena champion, the Shattered Hand remained on Draenor while the majority of the orcish clans, led by Blackhand, traveled through the Dark Portal into Azeroth. Upon the return of the Bleeding Hollow clan from Azeroth, Kargath volunteered his clan to make war against the humans. When Draenor was destroyed, a part of his clan was stranded along with the Bleeding Hollow and Warsong clans.

The Bleeding Hollow clan is one of the most legendary orcish clans. This is mainly a result of their chieftain, Kilrogg Deadeye who bolstered their resolve and recklessness, leading the clan from their earlier days of cowering from the Arakkoa in the depths of the Tanaan Jungle, to eventual victory over the Arakkoa and many more victories thereafter. The clan is named after a rite of passage where the next chieftain must venture into the hidden bleeding hollow chamber, sacrificing an eye to receive a vision of their demise. After the ritual, the orc ascends to the status of clan chieftain.

I was trying to keep the Clans balanced, but still keep to their base flavor, as found in the Warcraft Universe.
Hopefully, I'll put in more clans in the future (Such as the Frostwolves).


Hopefully, you guys like!
PS, This IS a work in progress (balance and stuff).
