Thrall and Garrosh's Duel

After Garrosh Hellscream learned that his father, Grommash Hellscream, had perished together with the Pit Lord Mannoroth and freed the Orcs from the curse of demon blood, he had always taken pride in his father.

Thrall used Grommash Hellscream as a negative example, making Garrosh Hellscream feel insulted. Of course, he was enraged. Combined with his experiences since arriving in Azeroth, he had long grown sick of Thrall's inaction.

Thus, the furious Garrosh stepped forward and shouted, "Thrall, in the name of the son of Hellscream, I challenge you to the supreme Mak'gora! I will duel you in the Ring of Valor!"

Thrall had not expected that his words would directly provoke Garrosh into challenging him to a Mak'gora. But now the eyes of the leaders of every race in the war council were fixed on the two of them. As the Warchief of the Horde, he could only accept. "I accept your challenge, Garrosh."

Mak'gora was sacred. Since Garrosh and Thrall had decided to invoke a Mak'gora, neither King Varok nor Thrall's two advisors could stop them. Thus, the war council abruptly ended, and everyone moved to the Ring of Valor for the duel.

News that Warchief Thrall would duel Garrosh Hellscream, chieftain of the Warsong Clan, swiftly spread throughout Orgrimmar. The civilians of Orgrimmar, who had yet to emerge from the shadow of the Scourge plague, were greatly stirred by the news. They poured out of their homes and headed to the Ring of Valor to watch the duel.

"You should have stopped Garrosh, brother." Nazgrel, Thrall's advisor and sworn brother, paced uneasily in the stands as he complained to Rend.

King Varok was too rigid. Among the Orcs of the Horde, Rend was the only one who might have been able to stop the two from dueling.
