The organizations and factions featured here have been featured prominently at one time or another in the Warcraft universe.

Alliance

The Alliance is one of the major factions in the Warcraft universe. In World of Warcraft the playable races of the Alliance include the Humans, the Ironforge Dwarves, the Gnomes, and the Night Elves. However, several splinter factions have decidedly split from the Alliance such as the Scarlet Crusade.

Alterac

The weakest of the human nations, Alterac made a pact with the Orcs during the Second War, and betrayed the Human Alliance. As a result of this, they were wiped out by the Human Forces of Lordaeron. The traitorous nation were found out after assisting the Orcish Navy in blocking Uther the Lightbringer from reaching the troubled citizens of Caer Darrow. The remaining Alterac forces then gave up and were taken as prisoner by the Alliance, who then proceeded to interrogate them. Past rulers: Lord Perenolde.

Amani Empire

Ancient tribe of Forest Trolls from the middle forestlands.

Argent Dawn

The Argent Dawn is a small organization dedicated to fighting the undead Scourge that controls the continent of Lordaeron. It is composed of members of all non-Scourge races, including the Forsaken.

Azeroth

One of the key members of the Alliance, and the original combatants of the First War. Past rulers: King Wrynn, King Llane, Lord Anduin Lothar, King Varien Wrynn, King Anduin Wrynn.

Black Tooth Grin Clan, The

The Black Tooth Grin clan was originally part of the Blackrock clan but when they came to Azeroth to broke away and after Blackhand was deposed as Warchief, his sons Rend and Maim sought took control of the clan for their own power base within the Horde. Rend and Maim, leaders of the clan, assassinated the parents of the New Horde's Warchief Thrall. The clan is so named because every recruit must knock out one of their own teeth to show their loyalty to the clan. Leaders: Rend Blackhand, Maim Blackhand.

Blackrock Clan

During the second war it was the strongest of the orc clans in Azeroth. Control of the clan was seized by Doomhammer when he betrayed Blackhand. It is currently a major hostile group, to both horde and alliance,in the Burning Steppes, and an anti-alliance group in Redridge. Leaders: Blackhand the Destroyer, Orgrim Doomhammer, Jubei`Thos.

Bleeding Hollow Clan

The Bleeding Hollow Clan was one of the most legendary of the clans in the second war and were able to evade capture by Alliance forces. With Ner'zhul's help they were able to make it back to the relative safety of Draenor. The clan is so named because its leader, Killrogg Deadeye, has lost one of his eyes. Leader: Killrogg Deadeye.

Bloodsail Buccaneers, The

The Bloodsail Buccaneers is an organization of pirates that operate out of a base in southern Stranglethorn Vale, near the goblin town of Booty Bay. The Bloodsail Buccaneers are fiercely hostile to the Blackwater Raiders that control Booty Bay in conjunction with the Steamwheedle Cartel. Rumor has it that adventurers who prove their worth to the Bloodsail Buccaneers are given a special place in the ranks of the Bloodsail Navy.

Bonechewer Clan

The Bonechewer Clan was known for its members ornamenting themselves with bones and other organs in battle as well as for their cannabilistic nature. Leader: Tagar Spinebreaker.

Bronzebeard Clan

The ruling dynasty of the Ironforge Dwarves of Khaz Modan. The Bronzebeard clan of dwarves is the most prominent and influential group of dwarves. It was the Bronzebeards who initially built and occupied Ironforge in Dun Morogh. It was the Thane Madoran Bronzebeard who led his people to victory over the threat of the Dark Iron dwarves. In modern times, King Magni Bronzebeard continues to carry the torch of the ancient clan as the current King Under the Mountain. Magni's brothers, Muradin Bronzebeard and Brann Bronzebeard are also notable members of the Bronzebeard clan.

Brotherhood of the Light

As Tirion Fordring watched his son Taelan die, he swore to establish a new holy order, free from the corruption of prejudice and politics. He founded the Brotherhood of the Light, which seems to have quickly attracted several powerful paladins and priests into its ranks. Currently, his officers are overseeing the diplomatic negotiations between the Scarlet Crusade and the Argent Dawn at Light's Hope Chapel. Not much is revealed about this order other than the notion that it has become very influencial by the time of Kel'Thuzad's invasion.

Burning Blade

The Burning Blade was one of the most savage and untrustworthy of the Orc clans. Being anarchic they never have had a leader. Instead the members of the clan rule themselves. Most of these Orcs learned from their mistakes of trusting Gul'dan. Those Orcs who were not slaughtered by The Human Alliance became the seasoned blademasters of The Orcish Horde and now serve the New Horde unquestioningly. A few Burning Blade Orcs still remain loyal to The Burning Legion, but these Orcs are few and no longer hold favour with the Legion.

Burning Legion

The Burning Legion is the demonic army created by the titan Sargeras. When Sargeras the Dark Titan decided to set the universe aflame, he created a demonic army to serve that purpose. The Burning Legion was led by Archimonde the Defiler and Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, two Eredar warlocks who possessed immense power.

Cenarion Circle

The Cenarion Circle is a group of druids dedicated to the keeping of the balance within the world. Like the Argent Dawn, they are not concerned with mundane politics, but rather seek to unite and protect nature. The Circle's membership includes druids from both the Horde and the Alliance, and the organization itself is based in Moonglade. They offer a variety of quests, mostly to do with the training of druids. Moonglade is accessible to any character, but the route to the entrance involves either killing or allying with the Timbermaw Furbolgs. Druids are given the "Teleport: Moonglade" spell at level 10.

The Cenarion Circle has recently established a major outpost, Cenarion Hold, in the desert of Silithus. There they contend with the insectoid Silithid and the sinister Twilight's Hammer cultists, and lead the preparation for conflict with the deadly inhabitants of long-sealed Ahn'Qiraj.

Cult of the Damned, The

The Cult of the Damned is a secret organization founded by the necromancer Kel'Thuzad after his return from Northrend and his encounter with the Lich King. Facilitating the vast knowledge and power that Kel'Thuzad gained from his new Master, he then approached the disenfranchised peasants and citizens of Lordaeron, who found themselves easily swayed from their faith in the Holy Light by the Cult's offerings of social equality and immortality in exchange for their eternal loyalty to the Lich King, whom was regarded by the Cult as a God. Furthermore the Cult of the Damned was responsible for the initial infection of many citizens of Lordaeron by infecting the granaries at Andorhal and Brill with the Plague that eventually lead to the uprising of the Scourge and the destruction of major parts of the region known thereafter as the Plaguelands.

Dalaran

A city-state of mages, led from the Violet Citadel in the centre of the city. Dalaran was the first nation to be attacked and completely destroyed when the Burning Legion arrived during the Third War, due to the mageocracy being the only group that could initially pose a threat to the Burning Legion. In World of Warcraft, there only remains an immense magical sphere, within which the city-state is being rebuilt by the survivors. Past rulers: The Kirin Tor.

Dark Iron Clan

Dwarves that are found throughout the continent of Khaz Modan and have currently been enslaved by the Firelord Ragnaros. Ruled by Emperor Thaurissan during the War of the Three Hammers their current ruler is a possible descendant, Emperor Dagran Thaurissan.

Darkspear Tribe

The Trolls of the Darkspear tribe, long since exiled from their ancestral lands in Stranglethorn Vale, were nearly destroyed by rampaging Murlocs. Rescued by the young Warchief Thrall and his Orcish warriors, The Darkspear tribe swore allegiance to the Horde.

Death Knights

The first generation of Death Knights were an army of slain Human Knights possessed by the spirits of Orcish warlocks and infused with the powers of the necrolytes, increasing their power. They were originally created by Gul'dan and enabled his Stormreaver Clan to become one of the most powerful in the Horde. After Gul'dans death, many Death Knights joined Ner'zhul on his escape from Draenor during the Second War and were turned into Liches by the Burning Legion.

The new Death Knights are a force of anti-Paladins: still-living humans who have submitted to the will of the Lich King and now wield runeblades and necromantic powers and ride on undead mounts similar to those of the original Death Knights.

Notable 1st-gen Death Knights: Teron Gorefiend.

Notable 2nd-gen Death Knights: Arthas Menethil, Baron Rivendare

Defilers, The

The Defilers are a group of Forsaken stationed in the Arathi Highlands. They are the Horde's battleground faction for Arathi Basin.

Defias Brotherhood, The

After the Alliance recapture of Stormwind following the Second Great War, the city was in ruins. The town was rebuilt by Edwin VanCleef, an architect for the Alliance. However, he was not compensated upon completion of his task. Disillusioned with the Alliance, VanCleef founded a group of bandits known as the Defias Brotherhood whose base of operations is at the Deadmines in Westfall. The Defias have taken over parts of Elwynn Forest, Duskwood, Westfall, and Stormwind. Many have also been captured and placed in the Stormwind Stockade. They are a dangerous group, with infiltrators in even the highest circles of Stormwind Nobility. Quest lines at later levels, such as The Missing Diplomat, reveal a worldwide plot related to the 10-year-old king of Stormwind.

Dragonmaw Clan

The Dragonmaw Clan was very loyal to Blackhand when he was warchief and pledged loyalty to Rend and Maim after his death. The Dragonmaw Clan was also responsible for enslaving Alexstrasza and raising her young to fight the humans. Past Leaders: Zuluhed the Whacked, Nekros Skullcrusher, Nek'krosh Skullcrusher.

The mightiest of them is Malfurion Stormrage the Archdruid. He is Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind's lover and the brother of Illidan Stormrage, who betrayed both Malfurion and Tyrande on more than one occasion for the powers of magic that he craved.

Forsaken, The

The Forsaken began when the Dark Lady, former High Elf Ranger General Sylvanas Windrunner, broke free from the Lich King. The struggling High Elf, given back her corporeal form, began to amass an army using her possessive powers. Eventually she began to amass an army pulled straight out of the Scourge's ranks. She eventually allied with the dreadlord Varimathras and took over a homeland from the residing Humans and Scourge armies. Their capital is the Undercity, which is beneath the ruined city of Lordaeron.

Frostwolf Clan

The Frostwolf Clan was exiled from Draenor long ago because of the repeatedly-voiced dissent of its former leader, Durotan, concerning the old Horde's ban on shamanism and the threat of the demonic influence among orcs. Drek'thar eventually succeeded Durotan after his assassination by Rend and Maim (which was blamed upon Doomhammer). Along with Drek'thar, the Frostwolf clan lived along the Alterac Mountains practicing shamanism, and having Frost Wolves as their companions. The Far Seer heroes in Warcraft III were based on the Frostwolf Clan's members. Past Leaders: Durotan, Drek`thar, Thrall. The Frostwolf Clan are central to the Horde's ambitions in the battleground of Alterac Valley. In World of Warcraft, you can fight alongside the Frostwolf as a member of the Horde in the Battleground Alterac Valley, gaining reputation and the ability to purchase special items from the frostwolf, including a Frostwolf Howler, a wolf adorned with Frostwolf markings.

Gnomes of Gnomeregan

Gnomes are a race that are good at engineering and other trade skills. They provided courageous help with the Alliance in the First and Second Great War, but didn't send any help during the Third. Puzzled by this lack of help, the Alliance later found out that the gnomes' capital city, Gnomeregan, was under attack by troggs. Not intending to bother the Alliance as they had much more trouble than they could handle, the gnomes tried to fight back, but failed. Gnomes can now be found mainly in Tinker Town of Ironforge.

Gurubashi Empire

Last united Troll nation in the World of Warcraft. They were destroyed when they banished their main god Hakkar from the world.

Horde

The Horde is one of the major factions in the Warcraft Universe. The wary, though official, truce with the Alliance to fight the invasion of the Burning Legion in Warcraft III does not exist in World of Warcraft, though the Horde is at war with Illidan Stormrage's Army, the Burning Legion, and the Scourge.

Kul Tiras still maintain a presence in World of Warcraft. Past rulers: Daelin Proudmoore, Tandred Proudmoore.

Laughing Skull Clan

The Laughing Skull clan was a very deceptive and treacherous Draenor clan that was distrusted by most of the other clans.

Leader: Mogor the Ogre.

New Horde, The

Thrall united all the Orcish clans, and abolished necromancy and warlock magic (Although, oddly enough, players in World of Warcraft can be an Orc Warlock) under the banner of the New Horde. Now the orcs can only practice the magic of their ancient roots of shamanism. This rule was created by Thrall so the Orcs would not turn back into pawns of the burning legion.

Thrall also integrated the united Tauren tribes and the Darkspear trolls into the Horde. The Forsaken were accepted in an "alliance of convenience" in World of Warcraft.

Leader: Commander Althea Ebonlocke

Order of Tirisfal

An ancient mystical council of powerful human and elven magi, formed by the Kirin Tor of Dalaran and the Convocation of Silvermoon.

When besieged by the Night Elves, they were once again corrupted by Mannoroth and in their fury they struck down the Night Elves' demigod Cenarius.
