Hellfire Peninsula Introduction

Honor Hold stands to the south of both the Path of Glory and Hellfire Citadel. After the Second War, an expedition was sent through the Dark Portal to put an end to the orcish threat once and for all. Led by the valiant General Turalyon and the archmage Khadgar, the expedition did its best to fulfill its mission, waging fierce battles on the orcs of Draenor. Yet when reckless magic began to tear Draenor apart, the expedition members had to sacrifice their only chance of returning home by closing the Draenor end of the Dark Portal. Back on Azeroth, the expedition members were honored for their sacrifice and presumed dead.
The Horde''s newly established base of operations in Hellfire Peninsula is Thrallmar, which overlooks the Path of Glory and Hellfire Citadel from the north. Shortly after arriving in Outland, a Horde expeditionary force set up this new base, but they were soon cut off from Azeroth by Legion forces that moved in to retake the Dark Portal. Now the people of Thrallmar are caught between a rock and a hard place.
