  "WARCRAFT" represents
further development of genius
strategic ideas in
extremely popular game
"Dune-2" ("Dune 2") on the platform
IBM PC. Creators of the game completely preserved a favorite
army of fans "Dune-2 interface, while introducing a lot of
original parts that extend

  The main principle of the game is
successful development of the nearby
resources, building bases and
creating a powerful army, which
should be used for

squad to pass through the underground maze and free their 
comrades. Sometimes it is necessary to save hostages and on the 
ground. Depending on how clan, you take command

            ________


      DESTINY Orcish hordes.


  Stories and legends relating
to the invasion, battles and victories,
accomplished in the country people recorded Garonne darkest 
Council. 


  Stories about military campaigns and
victories have always existed, and
the right to enter information into the annals
history belonged to earlier by the leaders of the troops. 
Excellent war and military leaders, leaders of armies, 
defeating the enemy Orcish kind centuries ago,

they were not endowed with abilities to describe their
action words. Here's one
examples: "Falk goes through
glowing hole. Then I fell
down, but all is well. I found
a lot of good things to eat. We
found a village. We crushed them, and ate
their food. Fok graduated. Head hurts so much he wrote. "


  The fact that I belong simultaneously to both Orcish and
to the human race, as well as
My extensive experience gained
while traveling, have played no
role in what is now
trust me as a responsible
case. As the chief interpreter darkest of the Council, I 
accepted a duty to preserve

memory about events that occurred
the conquest of the world and
posleduyushem Crusade
Country Humanity. And now I, Garona, humbly
I present to you this story ...


  Our mission, consisting
in the conquest of these lands was
soothsayers predicted clan
century ago. Emerging from
swamps and bogs, Orcish Horde
gradually rasprostanilis on
this country, following the destined path. Many years passed 
until, slowly but surely spread our influence in

this world, and bringing stardaniya
darkness inhabited this land lower
beings. Whether it is impassable
forests or lush meadows, steppe
plains, or rocky cliffs,
vozvyshayushiesya over the sea - everywhere
Our army is stronger
no matter how bitter it was not
resistance of our enemies. Their
harvest perished on the vine, and field
they remained uncultivated,
because we did not leave anyone alive who could do it. 
Resorting to the aid of his magicians and Necromancers, our 
army has acquired such mogushestvo that even the toughest of 
our enemies were unable to withstand long

our attack. One after another, our
enemies were killed, and we became
stronger with each victory. Now, destroying anyone who could
impede our parish
to power, and enslaving the people of this weak, which can now 
be use at their discretion, have won and nature, and all

residents in order to climb to the top of the world.


  However, we are always eager to
Larger and persistent differences between the different clans 
led to the fact that our forces have remained fragmented. Soon 
have different groups each of which claimed

out to control the whole
area of ​​land occupied Orkami. These minor altercation soon
went into military clashes,
and then in a real war,
because the desire for conquest always warms our
blood. If there will be no land
in which the rules would be our enemies,
we have to grab land
his own brothers.


  The only clan to stay away from these games for
power, were Warlocks. Alone in their towers, they saw
impending danger. Despite the fact that the Necromancers were
satisfied, since battlefields
copiously irrigated with blood, which is enough for the earth, 
and for underworld, Warlocks feared that in the end, not

would survive a single Orca. This could lead to a breach of a 
delicate balance, allows them to control the forces of which 
they alone knew, and which were used in their magic spells.

In order to keep this
balance, it was necessary to horde
Orc again teamed up and conducted
obshego battle against the enemy.


  It was during this period when
Orc Warlocks are looking for a way to
save the day, was seen
This small gap
space-time fabric.
Many years passed before
Warlocks were able to pribliztsya
unlocking the secrets of this tiny
crack. Numerous samples and
tests led to the conclusion that
that education can serve as a
a portal to another dimension, if we can learn to control it. 
Orc Warlocks continued his experiments, trying to focus the 
crack posstepenno expanding it and making more sustainable. 
Finally, they were able to create a small portal, which is 
sufficient just to one of their clan was able through him

penetrate.


  Stories that are told
This wizard, returning back
initially led his colleagues to
convinced that he has gone mad
during this unfortunate experience.
But strange, unknown plants, which he brought with him,
testified that he
telling the truth. This allowed
sect Warlocks persuade the most militant leaders of the orcs in 
the that must be temporarily

to stop infighting and stop military action by one
year. At the end of this period they
promised to provide an opportunity
conquer the new world.


  Manage the increased gap
became increasingly asking and after a period of three full 
moons everything was ready to make

forward a number of small
War-Orc units in this new world. Bluish glow, formed a circle 
about the size of two and a half Orc - this is spectacle, which 
the leaders of the different clans gathered together,

greeted with loud cries of joy. Black and red stripes
overlapping circles when he flashed otherworldly ogmyami. Seven
warriors were to enter into this
portal and return with a detailed description of lands and 
creatures, they met on the other side. When the Wizards began 
to recite his spells to cause the forces that govern the 
portal, rose noebychny howl initially low and then all of the 
above and above, like a howling wolf at

full moon. Kogda curve has become almost deafening war were
inside the circle, among hundreds perepletayushihsya light 
strands of various colors, stalkivayushihsya and 
rashodyashihsya in an unprecedented space dance. What is 
expected these wars, there was a

beyond their most daring imagination.


  Pillage the village was
fairly straightforward, so that
need hardly tell it in detail. But despite
that this story was told hundreds of times, there
hundreds more eager to hear
story again. A group of countries
buildings with gabled roofs
became the first obstacle
met on the road of our wars. Broken dirt road
led in the direction of three similar
farms. Predawn twilight
dispelled when over the tops
hills, the sun appeared, illuminating the world. This bright 
yellow ball of light twice as bright than our sun, and on this 
day here is extremely hot. Then

of a strange creature appeared a small hut, which in
appear to be the most typical representative of the local races.
Small, pink and nenadelenny strong muscles - that's what 
brought us to a resident of this world. War maliciously 
grinned, glancing at each other. They figured that if this is 
the genus to which they predestoyalo deal, a win will be won 
quickly. Jumping from an ambush in which they hid, the war fell 
on the village and killed them all, Who could find. If men

yet have little resistance, women and children simply
behaved like cattle in a slaughterhouse, dutifully going to 
die. In their homes had no particular value

but in their fields of war found
bountiful harvest of tasty corn.
Their cattle, though quite small, was also
excellent, and soon that
could not eat or take out
another was on fire. Trinkets brought back to the wars in our 
world were products unknown Orcs and crafts

quickly took their place in the treasures of the leaders of 
clans. This new world, with its extensive

open spaces and weak and incompetent
defenders could easily become the new jewel in the crown
Orcs.


  Our law of evolution is extremely
simple - only the fittest survives. All spronye policy-related 
issues are solved open discussion. This may

lead to conflicts in
many cases, but it is still
the quickest and easiest
way to reach a decision in
Most of the situations. Each Orc
has the right to submit any question their arguments - to
As long as he can back them up with facts, or weapons.
Win means to prove their strength and power of high
appreciated by the Orcs. Strong
victory in the battle just raises the commander and his war on
stage of Honor - one step
staircase that leads to power. Keep the balance here
however, it is very difficult,
because the higher the climb,
the deeper and more dangerous to fall.


  By this time we found out
much of this old quarter and those
who inhabit it. Although we do them is sometimes difficult to 
understand these beings have been largely on

we are similar. Kick something
sharp mind leads to death. Lack of food also leads to death 
from starvation. Pain affect them in a similar way as in our 
other enemies, and is an effective way to obtain the desired

information.


  Information about that title
this country - Azeroth, and that its
residents were called by people, are among the first we 
received here. We started capturing Azeroth with a cautious 
move to new lands, studying their opportunities in this new 
world; but soon felt the taste of

gain, the leaders of the Orcs have become
less cautious, acting
through. After much discussion it was decided that an attack on
high castle in the north will
crush our enemies and lead the Orcs to the pinnacle of power. 
All More and more warriors were

through open gap and thought, with them penetrated
this world is the very essence of our
world. Sorcerers say that this
associated with the action of the portal itself, but somehow, 
the whole area around became

gradually more and more lonely and
running, such as at home.


  Get into the castle proved quite difficult, because those
circumstances that made
this country so attractive
for us, both infused
weakness of the souls of men. Their guards were unprepared when 
we got into the war strengthen them, passing through the gate 
or climbing over the wall. These men fought desperately to stop 
us, but our superiority in numbers and strength soon was 
affected by the victory was close. And it would be ours, but

there appeared to huge horse
War - these devil sit on
huge monster, comprising both
though from some muskolov and tendons, which themselves cause 
our troops are not less harmful, than their riders. These, as 
people call them, the knights, having collected the few 
remaining defenders Castle, became close our brave warriors, 
and those forced to had to retreat outside the castle.

At each of our maneuver meet their fighting with unknown
tenacity and ferocity, so
that our troops have continued to
retreat to the portal leading
back into our world, kakieto magical powers sent their warriors
and they always turned out to have
us from the rear, the flanks or on our way. We barely managed 
to get to the marshes surrounding the portal and escape from 
our pursuers in their marshy bogs. 


  It has been almost fifteen years with
time of the landmark decision that changed the course of our
fate. Many were in favor of
to close the portal, while
as some factions would like to achieve popular support and to 
make another attack against the people gathered all his 
strength. Amid this chaos, there was a

figure, Orc, which has stealth and cunning, which
capable of a few. Cautious
political maneuvers and the use of any support that
he could get done
Since his voice is even more
significant. Once the main opponents have been defeated,
few could oppose
something to his plans, and power
was the leader of the Orcs
Great War Orc - Blekhend
(Black Hand).


  Even his fame, acquired
through violence and force,
manifested in the victorious battles, eclipsed his desire for 
power. He studied those means that people used

in battles with the Orcs, and that
allowed, due to their tricks
Arts and strategies put
defeat our predominant
forces. Thanks to the knowledge of tactics he learned how to 
attack military units, primarily operating absently. Searching 
for new powers for his army, he received assistance from

by both houses of practicing the magical arts.
The culmination of his plans was
the union of all three orc
clan-armies, Warlocks and Necromancers in order to work together
efforts to wreak destruction in
Country Azeroth and finally conquer the human race.


       Age of Chaos gredet!


   Garona darkest Council.
