King
Varian Wrynn, Queen Sylvanas Windrunner, King Genn Greymane, and Trade
Prince Gallywix—these are just a few of the leaders who continue to
shape Azeroth's destiny. They are the embodiments of their races'
strongest traits... and at times their greatest failings. In the coming
months, Blizzard Entertainment will be releasing short stories that will
peer into the hearts of these legendary heroes and offer insight into
what new trials might lie ahead as they lead their people in a world
forever changed by the Cataclysm.
The first story of this series, "Heart of War,"
offers a glimpse into the experiences that have shaped Garrosh into the
leader he is today: his heroic exploits in Northrend; his uncertainty
as he arrived in the imposing Horde capital of Orgrimmar; and most
importantly, his friendship with his mentor, the warchief he would
eventually replace, Thrall. This tale was written by Sarah Pine, the
winner of Blizzard Entertainment's 2009 Global Writing Contest.
