Chaos Caused by The Cataclysm

To address the worldwide Cataclysm, the Alliance and Horde would hold another summit in Theramore, joined by the dragons. Thrall, Cairne Bloodhoof, and Hamuul Runetotem represented the Horde at this meeting. As for Zul'ra, his injuries kept him behind in Orgrimmar to hold down the fort.

While Thrall's side discussed how to save the world, Zul'ra made thorough preparations of his own. Sixteen cannons were installed atop Orgrimmar's mountain ridge, and he had Gaodier arrange protection for important figures—especially Anveena and Taretha.

Events proved that Zul'ra's arrangements had not been wrong. Amid the chaos caused by the Scourge threat, someone attempted to assassinate Taretha. The protection arranged by Gaodier failed to help, but Maraad, whom Chromie had hired, did. However, after their attempt failed, the assassins all killed themselves. They were typical cultists.

Upon learning of the incident, Zul'ra immediately had Gaodier investigate the scene and begin identifying the assassins. There had been one Forsaken, two Orcs, one Shu'halo, one Troll, and four Goblins—every Horde race was represented. Yet none of them had records of entering or leaving Orgrimmar, though traces of teleportation magic had been found at the scene.

Though there were no other traces, teleportation magic was not something one could use at will. Zul'ra ordered Gaodier to place the city under martial law and investigate outsiders without city registration. As expected, they soon uncovered some clues pointing to Twilight's Hammer cultists.

Zul'ra handed the matter of the Twilight's Hammer cultists over to Gaodier, ordering him to follow the trail and uncover those cultists hidden deep within the Horde, bringing them to justice.

Leaving High Sheriff Gaodier to hunt down the Twilight's Hammer cultists, Zul'ra convened a Noda conference of the Dragonfolk in his capacity as secretary. Dragonfolk led by Liadrin, Malacrass, Haimu, Bovan, Aethas, Sora, and Krenna
