Unadulterated Awesomeness2009-09-21 00:00:00and Geyah's grandchild. Thrall tells her about the fate of Orgrim Doomhammer and the other heroes of the Horde, such as Grom Hellscream.
When Grom Hellscream slew Mannoroth, he ended the curse of blood on the Orcish race. However, nobody on this side of the Dark Portal knew that. The last Garrosh Hellscream knew of his father was that Grom had been the first clan chieftain to drink of the cursed blood, damning his clan and his race. His downtrodden demeanor is not only due to the impending death of the Greatmother, but the thought of his father as a traitor to the whole Orcish race.
Of course, Thrall can hardly believe this. Greatmother Geyah asks him to tell the young Hellscream what his father was really like. Thrall decides to one-up her... he'll show him!
Thrall runs out of the inn, and twenty Horde follow him. He asks Garrosh to follow, and goes to a ring where he invokes the spirits-being a Shaman, and all that. I do find it amusing that even though we're playing on a PvP server, nearly all of us /kneel before him during this event. It's that cool.
Though we're all confused about what Thrall means by "Show him," we soon find out. Three miniature, ghostly figures materialize on the ground: two Orcs and a Pit Lord. There's an in-game recreation of the battle between Thrall, Grom, and Mannoroth, complete with voiceover from the actual cinematic in Warcraft 3. Though the movie version is obviously much more dramatic visually, this is still awesome beyond belief.
Garrosh Hellscream watches as his father faces off with Mannoroth mano-a-mano, kills the demon, and dies, having freed the Orcish race from their curse.
He collapses to the ground, unable to believe this... but then rises, thanking Thrall for showing this to him....
