"Even thunder need clouds to crack down on the Earth. Fire needs Air to penetrade the ground. For same reasons the Bloodstorms needs a worthy opponent before we shall give them blood."
- Grimkar Bloodstorm
The Frostwolves in Alterac and the Forsaken nearby do not agree where the borders lie. Forsaken destroy the nature surroundings and are closing in on Frostwolf territory, and to the east lie Arathi Highlands. A flat but craggy region, once a home for the humans of Arathor.
The Alliance fights to aid the former nation of Stromgarde in recapturing its capital and reestablishing control over the region. The Horde is attempting to establish a forward base to protect its new allies against the Alliance.
On top of all this the Boulderfists Ogres, Syndicate and fearsome Trolls are raiding the lands. Arathi Highlands has turned into a battlefield with many fronts. This battlefield is nowadays the home of the Bloodstorm Clan.
A Clan with great desire of freedom and honour. A Clan with one simple goal in service of the Horde, protect the free Orcs of Arathi.
Religion
The Bloodstorm Clans Main belief is in the spirits. Shamanism means everything for them and the Clan's shamans, led by their well Respected Farseer.
For the Bloodstorms, the spirits of old are the wisest beings, yet chaotic. During the trial of many generations the Bloodstorms believe that if they act strong and die an honourable death- Their children will be stronger. For that reason no Bloodstorm fears death. This also brings a faith that the warriors of Clan Bloodstorm always have their ancestors guiding them in battles.
Legends
The Bloodstorms are great storytellers and like to talk about their former heroes. For them the history is a way to spur the younger generation to try be as brave a warrior as possible. As the Clan is very old the younger ones got many names of honor to think about.
Culture
The Bloodstorm Culture is primitive like many other Clans. They value their wolves nearly as much as the Frostwolves and share the same kind of wisdom of their people. Many Bloodstorms got relatives with the Frostwolves. Their Shamans and warriors got high status in the Clan. What makes the Bloodstorms more different from the Frostwolves is their short temper and the sacred blood oath.
Blood Oath
The Bloodstorms believes they can only be close to each other through their blood. Because of that every New Blood has to go through the sacred Blood Oath to promise the Clan their loyalty. The Blood Oath is a ceremony that can only be held by a Shaman or the Chieftain himself.
Om’riggor
Om’riggor is a trial the younger Orcs of the Bloodstorms must pass. As the Bloodstorms live in Arathi Highlands which is filled with raptors. The young Orc shall go out to into the Highlands for himself, kill three Raptors and return to the Clan.
