Durotar, the land named after Thrall's father, Durotan, lies on the eastern coast of Kalimdor. It borders the Northern Barrens to the west and the coastal lands of Azshara to the north. The land of Durotar is rocky, and the soil is cracked and red, not unlike the orcs' homeland of Draenor. The land has many crags and canyons, where dangerous creatures take residence. It is a harsh land to survive in, very dry and hot, and the vegetation is sparse. The orcs, however, see a harsh beauty in the land. Durotar is a proving ground for young orcs, who are sent to the Valley of Trials to complete several rites of passage before they are considered fit for the challenges that lie ahead. Durotar forms the new homeland of the orcs and is the site of the orcs' principal city of Orgrimmar. Since the orcs founded Orgrimmar, Durotar has become something of a haven for all of the Horde races, especially the jungle trolls of the Darkspear tribe, who are mainly settled on the Echo Isles. ©2004 Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.
