Meanwhile, Vol’jin was asked to come to Orgrimmar and serve as Thrall’s advisor, so the recapture of the Echo Isles was left in the hands of Master Gadrin. The witch doctor turned on the Darkspear, using dark magic to enslave his tribemates, and the Darkspear were forced to flee. He gladly joined the Horde, because Thrall had saved his people - and possibly because he realized this might have been the vision his father saw, the one that sent him to First Home in the first place.īut those visions of Zalazane ended up coming to pass. But when he learned of the Orcs’ arrival on the Darkspear islands, and his father’s fate, he wasn’t exactly surprised, nor did he hesitate to step into his new role as leader of the bedraggled tribe. When he left First Home, the majority of these visions faded. Visions of Thrall, visions of the fateful duel between Cairne Bloodhoof and Garrosh, visions of Garrosh casting the Darkspear from Orgrimmar. But Vol’jin didn’t just get visions of Zalazane…he was given visions of the Horde. Each was given visions of possible futures for themselves, and learned that at some point in the future, they would be set against each other. So Vol’jin and his friend Zalazane traveled deep into the heart of First Home to see what they could find. Vol’jin was sent by his father Sen’jin, who had had a vision of what was to come - presumably, his own death - and wanted his son to prove himself before disaster struck. Before he became Chieftain of the Darkspear, Vol’jin was sent into First Home, a jungle on the original Darkspear islands where the loa tested those who would become shadow hunters. The interesting part about Warchief Vol’jin in particular is that in a way, he already knew what was to come - even if he didn’t realize it at the time.
Second, that the Horde is more than willing to turn on itself if there’s enough incentive to do so. If nothing else, Vol’jin’s ascension proves two things:įirst, that the Horde is definitely not an Orcish organization, as it was the united efforts of pretty much every other race under the Horde umbrella that brought Hellscream down.
And he was promoted to this position after orchestrating the downfall of the last Orc Warchief, Garrosh Hellscream. Warchief Vol’jin is an interesting anomaly in Warcraft lore - he leads the Horde, an organization originally formed by Thrall with its roots firmly embedded in Orc society, yet he’s a Troll.
