For a thousand years the tauren wandered the plains of Kalimdor, hunted by centaur, holding on to one old promise: that one day the scattered tribes would find a home under the Earth Mother's arms. Then a ninety-nine-year-old chieftain met a young orc warchief, and led his people across the Barrens to Mulgore.
This episode follows the whole thread: the Earth Mother's myth and the sun and moon, the yaungol, the taunka and Huln Highmountain, Theradras and the birth of the centaur, Cairne and the Bloodhoof Runespear, the Long March and Stonetalon Peak, Baine's kidnapping and Rexxar, the building of Thunder Bluff, Magatha Grimtotem and the Grimtotem tribe, the Rites of the Earthmother and the Sunwalkers, the ambush of Hamuul's druids, the mak'gora and the poisoned axe, the coup and Baine's return, the pyre at Red Rocks, Baine's years under Garrosh and Sylvanas, the trial, Cairne and Tamaala's spirits, Highmountain, and the tauren at the Sunwell.
Cairne died in a mak'gora with Garrosh, and on the Classic Hardcore realms, where every adventurer has one life, the same duel lives on: type /makgora, both sides say I Agree, and no spirit healer is waiting for the loser. Partway through, the story walks into that old world, where Cairne is still alive on the High Rise, to follow the String of Ears, the Coward debuff, the Self-Found path, the Rites of the Earthmother that end at his tent, and the Alliance raids that climb his mesa, before returning to Red Rocks. This one was a viewer request. Thank you for asking.
