If memory serves correctly, he was Terron'gor in Rise of the Horde.

In the Warcraft novels, [Warcraft spoilers](#s "it's explained that her age is due to some fel magic used by Guldan. He was rapidly aging young orcs to create his horde army.") I highly suggest reading "Rise of the Horde" by Christie Golden for anyone looking for more backstory regarding the orcs, Draenor and the founding of The Dark Portal.

Even though it's Knaak, I'd war to go with the War of the Ancients Trilogy.

If you're friend is more Horde-centric, try Rise of the Horde by Golden.

Could also try delving into the prelude to the upcoming expansion pack, cataclysm with The Shattering by Golden.

It's not the best to start with because two of the characters come from a previous book.

I recommend starting with the [WarCraft Archive] (http://www.amazon.com/WarCraft-Archive-WORLD-OF-WARCRAFT/dp/1416525823). It has four books in it:

Day of the Dragon (This book introduces two of the main characters from the War of the Ancients)
Lord of the Clans (The story of Thrall)
The Last Guardian (which is the story of Medivh and Khadgar, a great backstory to WoD)
Of Blood and Honor (a story involving Tirion before he was the badass paladin he is today, and Eitrigg, one of the most honorable orcs to live)

You can get all 4 of those books individually, but if you're going to read War of the Ancients, read at least Day of the Dragon first.

From there, read War of the Ancients (it's a trilogy, but they have a "single print" edition).

And as a stand alone, read Rise of the Horde! It tells the story of the original Horde and how the developed on Draenor. Makes a lot of the events in WoD make more sense.

From there, there are tons of books, I can't say they are all good, but I've not been disappointed in any of them. But those are what I started with, in that order, and it gave me a MUCH better sense of the lore pre-Warcraft III.

You must have never read a single book of Warcraft. Rise of the Horde which was likely the inspiration of this movie was a god damn good book with complex characters and serious stakes. I enjoyed it a lot.

I saw that book but it looks like it is book #4 on amazon?

Draenor is what Outlands was ~30 years ago. This is what Outlands looked like before the Orcs drank demon blood and corrupted the land.

If you are interested in finding out more about Draenor / WoD, I'd highly recommend reading Rise of the Horde. It's a really good book, and does a great job of explaining what happened on Draenor before the Orcs and Draenei arrived on Azeroth.

That artworks been around a lot longer then Hearthstone, hell it was the cover of Rise of the Horde, But right in the title they said it was a study so did they copy it? well... that's kinda the idea.
