Frostwolf Clan

The Frostwolf Clan is a clan of Orcs who originally lived on the world of Draenor, headed by their Chieftain, Durotan. When the orc chieftains drank of Mannoroth's blood, Durotan was the only one to refuse. His outcries that this dark pact would ruin the lives of the noble orcs eventually lead to the exile of the Frostwolves into the Black Morass through the Dark Portal. Wowpedia - 
After some time, Durotan attempted to return from exile and warn Doomhammer of Gul'dan's pact with demons. Gul'dan sent assassins to make quick work of Durotan, leaving his infant son, Thrall, to be taken as a slave by Aedelas Blackmoore.
Along with Drek'thar, the Frostwolf Clan lived along the Alterac Mountains practicing shamanism, and having Frost Wolves as their companions.
After breaking free from the human captors who had raised him, Thrall set forth to find the Frostwolves. He had learned of the fate that befell the orcs, of his father's demise and of his true place amongst the exiles as their Warchief.
Since then, the dwarven expedition known as the Stormpike Guard led by Vanndar Stormpike have started an expedition in the Frostwolf territory to excavate the valley and mine its veins, a transgression to the orcs who inhabited Alterac. This provoked a slaughter of the first expedition, and started the battle for Alterac Valley.
