Nagrand ( Draenor ) Nagrand is a new version of the Outland zone introduced with Warlords of Draenor . It is located in western Draenor and is the home zone of the Warsong clan of orc s . During this time they are akin to the Mongols , riding their wolves through the region to terrorize any who stand in their way . Overview . Seafaring ogres claim the south of windswept Nagrand , and they seek to dominate both the land and the orcs who dwell upon it . But more cryptic threats abound : a strange mist pours from the center of the plains , embodiments of nature stir around the Throne of the Elements , and the otherworldly crystals of Oshu ’ gun draw questers and fortune - seekers from all over Draenor . Nagrand is a verdant land located west of Talador and south of Frostfire Ridge . Here , great beasts cause the ground to quake beneath their feet , and the wolf riders of the Warsong — the legendary orc clan led by Grommash Hellscream himself — are always on the prowl . Geography . There are big canyons and rocky outcroppings all over the zone . Halaa and Garadar don ’ t exist . These were created after Outland became what it did . Highmaul takes up a large portion of the zone , and it houses a Raid instance as well . Travel . Getting there . Players will be led to Nagrand by a quest they ’ ll receive in their Garrison that involves sending new supplies to the front . The Alliance and the Horde — not working together , of course — are trying to establish a toehold in the zone in order to take on the Warsong clan . The Warsong clan has had problems with the ogres in the past , but they ’ re really the top power here . The Alliance and the Horde get the choice of two different buildings . They ’ ll be able to build either a Corral or a Tankworks for their Garrison . Resources . For the Corral , they ’ ll get either a Talbuk on the Alliance or Frostwolf on the Horde , which they can ride all the time while they ’ re in Nagrand — this is where mounted combat comes into play . If they build the Tankworks , the Alliance gets a Siege Engine and the Horde gets a Demolisher . Notable characters . The Alliance will be working alongside characters such as Vindicator Yrel and Rangari D ’ kaan , Thaelin and Hansel as they progress through the storyline . The Horde will be working alongside Thrall , Durotan , Draka , and Drek ’ Thar — even Aggra will show up and surprise Thrall . Quests . At the Throne of Elements the elemental balance has been disrupted , and the elementals upon the plateau have become unstable . It will be up to players to unravel the mystery behind the disturbance before it ’ s too late . Located outside the main Warsong base and is the Warsong clan ’ s main presence in the zone . The Spirit Woods are what surround Oshu ’ gun . This became the ogre - inhabited Burning Blade Ruins in Outland . Players get to see more of the backstory of the Burning Blade clan , how their clan operates , and some of their traditions . Players get to see it a bit earlier on in its existence and learn more about why it ’ s there and what its purpose is . It ’ s been built up as a sort of neutral hub , and players will be able to interact with all sorts of NPCs from all over Azeroth and Draenor .
