![]() Scythegore Arm: a union of Blackrock and Shattered Hand clan members that specialize in the use of exceptionally massive weapons from worg-back, collapsing the supports of buildings and crushing the inhabitants within them. They were particularly infamous for striking at clans that dared question the Horde's leadership.
With the appearance of the Iron Horde, the Scythegore Arm has taken up the grisly practice of running ahead of the rest of the Horde's massive siege weaponry and dousing enemy encampments in oil,while stripping away fortifications with their enormous blades, ensuring their foes burn as the volleys of artillery begin.

![]() Rageroar should be a new Orcish clan that some Orcs who didn't know what their clan lineage was joined.

![]() That'd fit. Orcs grasping for a cultural identity create a toxic one.

![]() I don't remember anything about Rageroar other than they made a Worgen cry.

![]() I think it's fantastic, there's not much to improve upon.
Perhaps Pre-Outland Draenic Chimaera had one head and the key trait separating them from dragons are the lack of forelimbs?

![]() Does anyone remember the Flowerpicker Clan?
I don't imagine we'll see them in WoD, but it's an amusing thought. I put my own speculation on the matter in another thread here on SoL.

![]() Killsorrow Clan - a minor clan from Nagrand that mostly keeps close to its fortified keep, letting out into the larger world only the devious deathsworn, masterful huntsman and rogues, who are known for their ability to blend with the shadows and unfurl on their unsuspecting foes in a surprise attack, even if the price for such a surprise is to die in the blaze of glory. Thus, any kind of kill is a great event for the clan - a triumph of their ways, but also a sorrowful loss, signified by an all-clan mourning and a funeral feast.
The clan is deeply spiritual and doesn't have a definite chieftain, but is instead ruled by the Council of Crones - ancient shamanists masterful in both the tribal witchcraft and the history of the clans. It is the Crones who, after connecting with the ancestors, say out the names of the new destined deathsworn, while tutoring the rest of the clansmen in deadspeaking and other aspects of spiritual shamanism. The Crones of Killsorrow were deeply interested in the findings of Ner'zhul and Gul'dan regarding the mysterious ancestors the two supposedly connected with. The clan is currently keeping contact with Gul'dan, wondering about the measure of power of an ancestor that Ner'zhul's pupil is eager to call a new "master". |

![]() (Let's be honest, unless I am horribly mistaken, so far we have more important female characters than we've ever had in an expansion.) Edit: I agree with the message, though. |

Vanilla didn't have anyone in particular... nor did TBC aside from Liadrin (and Geyah I guess?), Wotlk... Jaina and Sylvanas mostly, though we did see some cool faces along the way, such as Gorgonna and that Worgen-hunter lady*. Cata... we saw Zaela and Garona briefly, plus that one Forsaken Ambassador. There's Sylvanas and Lorna, though neither showed up much past Silverpine... all the naga leaders in Vasjh'ir, Tyrande...Ysera/Alexstraza... oh and that fire druid lady whose name escapes me. MoP though... I think there were some ladies among the shadowpan? I dunno, never played it. Can someone else fill this bit in? *looking back on that chain now it seems weird that it went the way it did and we ended up with Worgen, perhaps it would've been more natural for Gilneas to join if we'd gotten a few Worgen there in Grizzly Hills that weren't loyal to arugal or the scourge, or were freed when we double-killed his shade?

Anyways, my point was that it seems like whoever wrote that article just took one of BlizzCon's questions as that statement's basis without actually doing their homework and comparing. ![]() Leaving that aside, I wouldn't mind even more female characters. |

![]() Taoshi was an important member. Also second most seen after Taran Zhu I think. In fact she felt like Taran's right hand woman.
In fact Shado-Pan as a whole had a lot of female members. Not one or two, but quite a few. Yalia, Fei Li the Firecracker, Chao the Voice etc. Master Snowdrift's two best students are girls.

![]() Lightning Blade Clan
Originally a melee-oriented branch of the hunting focused Thunderlord Clan, the Lightning Blade split away several decades ago after two siblings competed for the position of chieftain. Their battles and contests repeatedly ended in draws, the last challenge, a race to the top of one of the narrow Bladelike mountain spires near the clan's home, ended in a draw as both siblings reached it simultaneously and were struck by lightning the moment they reached the top. This was taken as a sign by the spirits that the two need not compete, and the clan shaman decreed that the Thunderlords should allow the younger sibling and her Lightningblade warriors to go their separate way and become their own clan. The two clans, who had great respect for each other, developed as seasonal allies, coming together during the stormy seasons for shamanistic rituals involving lightning striking at the area's mountain spires, and occasionally uniting against the nearby Ogres and Gronn. The Lightningblade's shaman are adept at imbuing their weapons with the power of the elements, in a young warriors coming of age ceremony they must place their weapon atop a spire during a storm and then retrieve it. These weapons then carry a portion of the storms strength forevermore and make the clan truly fearsome in battle.
