Doras, the richest woman in Kalimdor, is surrounded by many accolades, and it is generally believed that "Queen of the Wyverns " is the most fitting description of her.

In his early years, Doras was just a low-ranking Orcs officer who sailed with Gul'dan's fleet. Unfortunately, their ship encountered a great storm, and after a near-death experience, they landed in Kalimdor and later settled in the Stonetalon Mountains.

In the Stonetalon Mountains, Doras seized a golden business opportunity.

Azeroth upholds the Druid's Path, emphasizing harmonious coexistence with nature. For example, the relationship between hunters and pets is equal, and taming wild beasts requires communication with love and the ability to influence them with one's heart; physical abuse and mistreatment are absolutely forbidden.

This resulted in an extremely low rate of domestication for wild animals. While some relatively docile creatures, such as Hippogryph and Gryphon, could be tamed, there has never been a successful precedent for taming the unruly Wyverns.

The Stonetalon Mountains are home to a large number of wild Wyverns. Doras doesn't care about the Druid's Path and uses the cruel methods of the Orcs to inflict various tortures on the Wyverns, such as not giving them food or water, or whipping them day and night, not allowing them to sleep, and even skinning and eating them in front of other Wyverns, and threatening them with the Wyvern eggs.

Surprisingly, this barbaric method actually worked. Doras successfully tamed the Wyverns, opened up a flight path from the Stonetalon Mountains to the Desolace, and earned his first fortune.

Originally, Kalimdor's flying business was controlled by the Night Elves, who used Hippogryphs to provide air transport services. The nature-loving Night Elf race cherished the Hippogryphs and imposed many harsh conditions.

For example, they will refuse to carry passengers if they bring too many items, if they are from large races such as Tauren or Centaurs, if they are carrying large weapons or wearing heavy armor, if the weather is bad, or even if they have body odor and haven't showered.

The extremely shrewd businessman, Doras, didn't care about the life Wyverns. Her cruel treatment of Wyvern, coupled with malicious price-cutting, caused the Night Elves ' flying business to dwindle, eventually becoming limited to transportation within the Night Elf race. All other flying businesses in Kalimdor were monopolized by Doras.

A Wyvern's lifespan is about seventy or eighty years, with an adulthood period of forty to fifty years. However, in Doras's hands, it served for no more than ten years before dying from exhaustion.

But this did not stop the expansion of the Doras business empire. She adopted artificial breeding methods to breed large numbers of Wyverns, exchanging the blood and tears of these poor creatures for massive Wealth.

Doras's heinous acts have drawn criticism from many, especially the Cenarion Circle, which has publicly accused Doras of being an enemy of nature.

Possessing the dark mind of Orcs, Doras deeply understood the inherent flaws of living beings, and sent an entire airship full of gold coins to the Cenarion Circle.

The Cenarion Circle quickly changed its tune, praising Doras as a friend of nature, Guardian of the forest, a good companion to animals, and so on.

Doras's most successful move was controlling the Tauren in Mulgore.

The Tauren are a large race whose size makes them difficult for ordinary mounts to carry. They are also Mastery at Plainsrunning, so this race has never needed mounts. However, there are Legendary in Tauren history about taming Kodo.

The Tauren, who worship Earth Mother, have a very low success rate in taming the Kodo; even successive chieftains have found it difficult to ride Kodo.

So Doras offered to help tame the Kodo, Cairne Bloodhoof readily agreed, unaware that this was the beginning of Tauren nightmare.

Doras's barbaric methods successfully tamed a large number of Kodo. The nobles and generals among Tauren minotaurs quickly mounted Kodo, parading through the streets and becoming the envy of everyone.

Doras racked his brains and used various propaganda methods to promote the importance of Kodo to the Tauren, even suggesting that the union of two Tauren depended on whether the male possessed Kodo.

If you're going to get married, marry a bull with Kodo.

Tauren's simple minds are easily brainwashed, Kodo have become a necessity in Tauren lives. So Doras took the opportunity to raise the price of Kodo, with an ordinary Kodo now worth thousands of gold coins.

To marry their beloved cows, the bulls had to go to great lengths to buy a Kodo. Lacking enough gold coins, Doras came up with an installment loan service, a high-interest loan with compounding interest.

Ultimately, almost all the Tauren in Mulgore owed Doras a debt they could never repay in decades. Doras then colluded with some greedy Tauren nobles and cruelly treated the Tauren commoners.

The situation deteriorated rapidly. Cairne Bloodhoof was caught off guard and it was too late to resist. Mulgore fell completely, and Doras was the true queen. The Tauren could only be slaughtered at their mercy.

Cairne Bloodhoof was a brave hero, Tauren Chieftain who struck fear into the hearts of his enemies. Unfortunately, he was subservient to Doras, and because of this, Cairne Bloodhoof felt a deep-seated fear of the Orcs.

For example, Thrall's favorite food is Tauren meat. Eitrigg, through the Doras route, can even buy Cairne Bloodhoof's own son for Thrall to eat, as long as the price is right.

Thrall had long heard of Queen Doras's exploits and admired this ruthless queen from the bottom of his heart. She had built a vast commercial empire in Kalimdor single-handedly, making her a truly remarkable Orcs hero.

"I wonder what Queen Doras looks like?" Thrall asked, feigning nonchalance.

Queen Doras is of noble status, but she also has many enemies. She lives a secluded life and her whereabouts are unknown. Her appearance has always been a mystery, and few people know anything about her.

Varimathras, head bowed, munched on a piece of meat from a bull's head and said, "Unparalleled in the world, breathtakingly beautiful."

Thrall's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said with feigned seriousness, "I don't care about appearances. For the sake of Azeroth, I have no choice but to reluctantly agree."

Vol'jin quickly flattered, "One is the Savior of Azeroth, and the other is the commercial queen of Kalimdor. They are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, an exceptionally good marriage!"

Varimathras chuckled, "As the saying goes, men should marry when they come of age and women should marry when they come of age. Doras is not young anymore, but he's been single all this time because there are no Orcs in Kalimdor. He greatly Thrall, the Savior."

Eitrigg had traded with Doras's men many times. Although he had never seen the Queen in person, she was a regular customer, so he offered to act as a go-between.

Things went very smoothly, Doras readily agreed to meet on the Ghost Coast beneath the Scarlet Lands.

Thrall traveled light, accompanied only by Eitrigg and a few trusted confidants, arriving at Ghost Coast in a small boat. From afar, they could see three enormous airships anchored on the shore, two heavily armed escort ships equipped with multiple cannons, and the most luxurious one in the center— Doras's Sky Palace.

For their first meeting, Thrall made thorough preparations, not only dressing up meticulously, wearing Orgrimmar armor, carrying the renowned Doomhammer, but also bringing precious gifts.

Doras was careful enough to allow only Thrall and Eitrigg the airship.

Thrall removed the Doomhammer and handed it to a guard on the airship. He then took off his Orgrimmar armor and, carrying the gifts, went into the airship's cabin alone, where Eitrigg waited outside.

Eitrigg thought this would be a historic encounter, but it turned out to be a farce.
