Already with the announcement of the three trials for the next Doldrosh, the Flamespire Bastion seems to fill with an odd collection of sorts.

 

Whilst normally filled with races that make up Thrall's New Horde... Humans, Dwarves, Elves and more also make their way in; citizens of Haven seemingly eager to observe the trials that are to be undertaken and not necessarily as a deeper understand of the Horde's political operations but rather many seem to be coming to witness as a form of entertainment with one or two entrepreneurs even setting up small food stalls much to the ire of some of the more staunch traditionalists within the Clan.

 

Although the Clan was once strongly united under the single banner of the Flamespire, those within the clan have taken their sides of their preferred candidate out of the two wishing to become the new Doldrosh:

 

Stone Guard Tuhruk, as stout as the mountain which the clan had called its home for so long and an immovable force to be reckoned with.

Ragara Stormbreaker, few recall the Orc's previous given name after she took the moniker for defeating the elemental lord Huricanian in single-combat at the spirit's own behest.

 

It sounds as though the fight may be a tough one but it is unknown as to how the show down may play out for the rules are not to be announced until the day of the fight by the clan's elder Gruk Charrbone... but two things -have- been made clear and that is the duel shall not be a fight to the death as once was typical of Mak'gora's in the Horde's past and that both of the nominations for Doldrosh can call in their stead a champion to fight on their behalf at the risk of losing support among some of the clan.

 

Will the combatants be restricted to their strength of steel alone? Will magic be acceptable? Time alone will tell.

 

The Elder of the clan bellows with a mighty voice for his age:

 

"On the 13th of this hallowed month, our two fighters shall gather in the centre of the Flamespire Bastion for the test of wills as the twentieth hour in Haven is sounded!"
