About Orgrimmar
Orgrimmar is the Horde’s answer to a simple question: where do a people who were once slaves make their home? The orcs had been enchanted by demons, driven into two wars, and kept in internment camps. When Thrall, the orc who had been raised in captivity and found his people again, led them to a red desert on Kalimdor’s eastern coast, he did not name it for himself. He called the land Durotar after his father, Durotan, and named its capital after the friend who had believed the orcs could still be honorable: Orgrim Doomhammer.
The city is built as a statement. Its gates are wrought from iron and bone, its walls are cut from the canyon’s red rock, and its spiked bastions look toward the sea and the Barrens. Inside, the city is laid out across a series of valleys that keep the warrior, the shaman, and the trader each in their own quarter, and the Horde’s banners hang over the training grounds day and night.
The Horde that gathers here is not the one that came through the Dark Portal. It has orcs, Darkspear trolls, tauren, and the Forsaken; it asks who you are only after asking what you will fight for. Beneath the city, the caverns of Ragefire Chasm still smolder with the leftover cult of Neeru Fireblade, a reminder that a capital built on the hope of redemption still has to guard against its old shadows.
Today Orgrimmar is the heart of the Horde: the Warchief holds court here, trainers and the auction house fill its valleys, and zeppelins leave for distant lands. Beneath the city, Ragefire Chasm runs through the caverns, the first dungeon many Horde players ever enter.

Orgrimmar Leveling Guide for the Horde, Levels 12–60
Orgrimmar is the Horde capital in northern Durotar, built around the central bank and auction house in the Valley of Strength and the underground cavern of the Cleft of Shadow, where the Ragefire Chasm dungeon portal (13–18) sits. For leveling Horde characters, Orgrimmar connects Kalimdor to Undercity and Stranglethorn Vale via the zeppelin tower just outside the southern gate, while hosting major quest hand-ins for Ashenvale, Feralas, Azshara, the Hinterlands, and city reputation cloth quartermasters.
1Before You Start: The Auction House
The city reputation cloth quartermasters ask for 60 of each cloth tier for Orgrimmar and Darkspear Trolls reputation. All of it is tradeable, so the Valley of Strength Auction House is the quickest source.
| Item | Buy | For quest |
|---|---|---|
| Wool Cloth | 60 | A Donation of Wool |
| Silk Cloth | 60 | A Donation of Silk |
| Mageweave Cloth | 60 | A Donation of Mageweave |
| Runecloth | 60 | A Donation of Runecloth |
