Level 16: Sunday, February 20, 2011

Ragefire Chasm is a dungeon instance located directly beneath the Horde capital city of Orgrimmar. The series of caverns that wind their way through some volcanic territory are the hideout of a cult called the Searing Blade, who are suspected of plotting to take down the Horde from the inside. They are underlings for the demons of the Burning Legion, who we'll see more in-depth in the Burning Crusade expansion.

The portal into Ragefire Chasm being where it is; the center of the Horde's busiest city, meant that prior to the Random Dungeon Finder, the Alliance had a hard road to travel to get inside. They had to either ride through and hope that they weren't cut off of their mount, or die inside the city gates and walk their ghost to the instance portal.

The instance is very short, and is another introductory one, for all intents and purposes. There are 3-4 bosses, the main one being the orc warlock Jergosh the Invoker.

The city of Orgrimmar, home to orcs and trolls, and the main hub for Horde players post-Cataclysm is a sprawling place. Like Stormwind, it has undergone a few changes since Deathwing emerged from the earth.

The Orgrimmar gates were the canon location for the head of Nefarian, another one of Deathwing's children, and brother of Onyxia. Like in Stormwind, Deathwing didn't take kindly to his son's head being used as a trophy, so he torched the city and took it back.

The old ruler of Orgrimmar was Thrall, the Horde Warchief, and main lore character for the Horde.

He went from a slave at an orc internment camp to ruler of the Horde. After the Cataclysm, he rushes off to protect the world from being ripped apart by the damage, and he leaves the brash young Garrosh Hellscream, who jogs with a fridge on his back, in charge.
